[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life
Chapter 83 Red House
Led by officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, Lin Huaiyu and his group of tributes saluted Emperor Qinglong sitting on the high dragon chair.
"The ministers are waiting to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
"Flat body."
Hearing a majestic voice in the hall, many candidates were very excited.For the Gongsheng who were kneeling on the ground, this was the first time they heard the holy voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Among the tribute students, only Lin Huaiyu was calm, and he stood up first.
After he stood up, he found that there were still many candidates who hadn't got up.Because these candidates were too excited, they forgot to get up for a while.Seeing this scene, the Minister of Rites coughed lightly. The examinees hurriedly stood up as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Next, Emperor Qinglong said a few words.First, he told the Gongsheng students that he had great expectations for them, and they should not disappoint his expectations.Then, he encouraged all the tribute students to take the palace exam well.
All the tribute students were excited again after listening to the "sacred teaching".Out of the corner of Lin Huaiyu's eyes, she saw that many Gong students blushed with excitement, and some candidates were trembling with excitement.
After Emperor Qinglong finished speaking, there was a burst of drum music outside the hall, followed by firecrackers.
After the sound outside the hall ended, Lin Huaiyu and the others sat down according to their seats.He is the Huiyuan, so the seat is naturally the first.
After the Gongsheng students were seated, officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple began to distribute test papers.
After Lin Huaiyu got the test paper, the old rule was to check for mistakes, omissions or ambiguities.After the inspection, there was no problem, so he began to write his name on the test paper.
After writing her name, Lin Huaiyu began to scan the questions.There are a total of seven questions in this year's palace examination.These seven questions may seem simple at first glance, but they are not simple, and there are hidden mysteries in them.
The exam questions are very flexible and very deceptive.Just like the first question now, the theme is loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.This question seems to be very easy to write, but it is not so easy to write it well.
Seeing the first question, Lin Huaiyu couldn't help but think of Prince Li's group.
The emperor's first question was "loyalty to the emperor". If he said that it had nothing to do with Prince Li, he would not believe it.
Lin Huaiyu was not in a hurry to write, but was thinking about what angle to write.
Other Gongsheng have already written like flying.For them, writing "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" comes at their fingertips.
Emperor Qinglong sat on the dragon chair, while reviewing the memorial, he looked down at the examinees below.He was a little surprised to see other candidates answering the questions with their heads down, but Lin Huaiyu didn't write for a long time.
Lin Huaiyu felt that the first question was related to the people of Prince Li's faction, so he wrote it from the perspective of "rebels".There are many rebels who rebelled in history, but we have to choose a few representative ones, and the situation is similar to that of Prince Li.
Just when he was about to write, he felt eyes falling on him. He looked over and saw that Emperor Qinglong was looking at him. He was slightly startled, but then he calmly withdrew his eyes and started to answer the question. .
Seeing that Lin Huaiyu looked away calmly, and then answered the question calmly, Emperor Qinglong raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this kid is really calm.
Lin Huaiyu answered the questions on the manuscript paper without rushing.When he finished writing on the manuscript paper and was about to copy it into the examination paper, he heard footsteps, and then a bright yellow light appeared in the corner of his eyes.
Emperor Qinglong reviewed the memorial for a while, and decided to come down to see how the tribute students answered the questions.
Lin Huaiyu sat first, so Emperor Qinglong naturally read his answers first.
Seeing Emperor Qinglong walking in front of him, Lin Huaiyu felt no disturbance in his heart, and very calmly copied the content written on the manuscript paper into the examination paper.
Emperor Qinglong lowered his head and stared at the contents of Lin Huaiyu's manuscript.Just reading the first sentence, I was shocked.
When the other Gongsheng saw the emperor coming down, they were excited, nervous, restless and flustered.
Lin Huaiyu turned a blind eye to Emperor Qinglong standing in front of him, and answered the questions vigorously.
Emperor Qinglong stared at Lin Huaiyu's answer, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.After reading it, he took a deep look at Lin Huaiyu, and then went to other candidates to answer the questions.
The others were not as calm as Lin Huaiyu. When they saw the emperor standing in front of them, they were so excited and panicked that they couldn't answer the questions properly.Many candidates still have shaking hands and can't even write well.
Emperor Qinglong walked around and saw that the other candidates could not answer the questions well, so he stopped directly in front of Lin Huaiyu and continued to read his answers below.
Lin Huaiyu noticed that Emperor Qinglong was standing in front of him and did not leave, nor did he care, and continued to answer his questions calmly.
Seeing Emperor Qinglong standing in front of Lin Huaiyu, the other candidates felt both envy and admiration.I envy Lin Huaiyu for being so concerned by Emperor Qinglong.I admire him for being able to answer questions without panic in front of the emperor.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple were also very surprised and curious when they saw Emperor Qinglong standing in front of Lin Huaiyu.
Emperor Qinglong watched it for a long time before leaving, and returned to the dragon chair to continue reviewing the memorial.
At noon, Emperor Qinglong left Baohe Hall and returned to the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace for lunch.Lin Huaiyu and his candidates were not allowed to leave the Hall of Preservation and Harmony for lunch, but the officials would give them lunch.
Although the lunch is still steamed buns, the steamed buns made by Gongli Yushufang are not ordinary steamed buns, they taste very good.
After Lin Huaiyu finished eating the steamed buns, he drank a few more sips of tea, and then continued to answer questions.
In the afternoon, Emperor Qinglong did not appear in the Palace of Preserving Harmony.
Emperor Qinglong had so many opportunities to deal with, it was impossible to stay in the Hall of Preserving Harmony and watch the tribute students answer questions all day.
"I decided to hold a spring hunt before the Duanyang Festival."
"Your Majesty, have you decided?"
"The emperor will be in danger."
"Your Majesty, I think it's too risky."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to take the risk yourself."
Emperor Qinglong raised his hand to stop Ye Wenfu's persuasion, "I have made up my mind to hold a spring hunt on the first day of May." After the palace examination, they can catch them all.
Seeing that Emperor Qinglong was determined to do this, Ye Wenfu and the others knew that it would be useless to persuade them.All they can do is to make perfect preparations so that the emperor will be safe and sound during the spring hunting.
In the imperial study, Emperor Qinglong and Ye Wenfu discussed all matters concerning the spring hunting.In the Palace of Preserving Harmony, Lin Huaiyu and his fellow tribute students were still answering the questions with great scribbles.
The palace examination lasted for one day and ended at You hour.
Lin Huaiyu answered all the exam questions at Weishi, and there were still two hours before the exam was handed in at Youshi.He didn't want to sleep at first, but he was so bored that he accidentally fell asleep while lying on the table.
Seeing that Lin Huaiyu had fallen asleep, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals widened their eyes in shock, with an expression of disbelief.The officials of the Ministry of Rites felt that Lin Huaiyu was too courageous to take the palace examination, and he was still in the Palace of Preserving Harmony, so he dared to sleep.
Seeing that Lin Huaiyu fell asleep lying on the table, the other candidates also felt that he was too bold to sleep in the palace examination.
Quan Dehai came to Baohe Hall to have a look at Emperor Qinglong's order, but when he saw Lin Huaiyu falling asleep on the table, he was also stunned.
My dear, this Mr. Lin actually slept in the palace examination, he is really courageous.However, having said that, being able to sleep in the palace examination, and to sleep so deeply, is not something ordinary people can do. This Mr. Lin is really heartless.
Quan Dehai watched it for a while, then exited the Hall of Preservation and Returned to the Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Qinglong and the others had just discussed something and were drinking tea for a break. When they saw Quan Dehai came back, they asked, "How is it?"
"Back to the emperor, everything is fine, just..." Quan Dehai hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
Seeing Quan Dehai's stammering appearance, Emperor Qinglong slightly raised his eyebrows, "What is it?"
"Young Master Lin is asleep."
When Emperor Qinglong heard this, he stopped holding the teacup, and he couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Ye Wenfu was so startled that he choked a mouthful of tea into his throat when he heard this, and coughed violently. "I'm rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qinglong waved his hand lightly, signaling Ye Wenfu not to worry.
"You said Lin Huaiyu fell asleep?"
"Yes, I saw Mr. Lin sleeping soundly." Quan Dehai added, "Only Mr. Lin fell asleep."
"Hahahahaha..." Emperor Qinglong laughed loudly, "This kid really dares to sleep."
Ye Wenfu scolded Lin Huaiyu in his heart, can you sleep in the palace test?
"Your Majesty, it's okay for me to teach you, please forgive me."
"Aiqing, why are you guilty?" Emperor Qinglong said with a smile, "Sleeping in the palace examination did not break the law, so Aiqing don't need to worry about it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Before he left, this kid specifically told him not to sleep in the palace exam, so why did he sleep in the palace exam again? !
Before the palace examination started, Ye Wenfu was afraid that Lin Huaiyu would fall asleep during the palace examination, so he specially told him not to sleep during the palace examination, but the warning was in vain.
"Why did Mr. Lin fall asleep? Did he pass the exam?"
"The slave looks like he passed the exam."
The Tai Tuo said with a serious face: "How decent is it to sleep in the palace examination?"
The grand scholar of Diange frowned slightly and said: "I passed the exam, I should check it again, but he fell asleep, this is really..."
"I read his answers, and they answered very well." Emperor Qinglong said with a smile on his face, "Being able to sleep in the palace examination shows that he is in a good state of mind."
The Taifu snorted coldly: "I am afraid that he is the only one who dares to sleep in the palace examination." After speaking, he added, "Too proud!"
Grand Master Diange agreed with Tai Tuo's words: "Too proud and complacent, I shouldn't give him Huiyuan."
Ye Wenfu was not happy when he heard this, and immediately turned back: "Bachelor, what do you mean you shouldn't give him the Huiyuan? He obviously passed the exam by himself, so why did you give it to him?"
Song Xiuwen echoed, "It's really interesting that someone's child passed the Huiyuan exam with his own ability, and it turned out that you gave him alms."
"you……"
Seeing that they were about to argue again, Emperor Qinglong quickly interrupted them: "Okay, I said before that we should mark the students' examination papers fairly and impartially, and don't feel that the students don't deserve the honor that belongs to them just because they are young. "
After hearing this, Taifu and Grand Master Diange didn't say anything more.
"Being able to sleep in the palace examination is not something ordinary people can do." Emperor Qinglong praised, "I think he is pretty good."
Ye Wenfu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Emperor Qinglong say that.
Song Xiuwen said: "When I finished all the questions in the palace examination, I felt bored and quietly dozed off." He glanced at the Taifu and the others, and continued, "You can't hand in the papers in advance for the palace examination. If you have nothing to do after the examination, can't you just sleep? Those who didn’t sleep in the palace exam were because they didn’t do well in the exam, they couldn’t sleep by themselves, and they blamed others for sleeping, why don’t they blame themselves for their incompetence?”
The Grand Tutor and Grand Master Diange felt as if they had been connoted, and glared at Song Xiuwen angrily.
"We don't have a law in Daqing that says you can't sleep in the palace exam. You didn't dare to sleep in the palace exam back then, so don't think it's a crime for other people's children to sleep in the palace exam." Song Xiuwen glanced sideways at the Taifu and the palace scholar, "You all Don't be jealous of other people's children's talents when you are very old."
"Song Xiuwen!"
"Teacher, I have very good ears, so there is no need for you to call me so loudly."
Seeing that there was another quarrel, Emperor Qinglong glared at Song Xiuwen, and called out warningly: "Song Aiqing."
"Your Majesty, I'm done talking." Song Xiuwen accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't say anything more.
The Grand Tutor and the Grand Master Diange were so angry by him that their faces were livid.
Ye Wenfu lowered his head and tried his best to hold back a smile.
In terms of slandering people, Song Xiuwen's skills are as profound as his knowledge.
Emperor Qinglong shook his head helplessly, and continued talking about Spring Hunting.
Speaking of spring hunting, Tai Tuo and Song Xiuwen temporarily "turned hostility into friendship" and seriously discussed the arrangement of spring hunting.
In the Hall of Preserving Harmony, Lin Huaiyu didn't know that because of him, several ministers quarreled.At this time, he was lying on the table and sleeping very soundly.
Every time officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple came to his desk, they couldn't help but look at him several times.
It was uncomfortable to sleep on the stomach, and Lin Huaiyu woke up from numbness in the middle of her sleep.The officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple saw that he was awake, thinking that he would not sleep again, but saw that he changed his position and continued to sleep on the desk.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple: "!!!!!!"
Other candidates: "..." This brother must have eaten bear heart and leopard gall, or else he had eaten gentian and phoenix liver.
Before the end of the palace examination, Emperor Qinglong came to the Palace of Preserving Harmony.As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Lin Huaiyu sleeping on the table. He walked over, picked up the exam paper that Lin Huaiyu had answered, and read it.
Lin Huaiyu, who was sleeping, didn't realize that there was someone standing in front of his desk, and it was Emperor Qinglong.However, if it were someone else, even if they were asleep, they would probably be able to feel the majesty of Emperor Qinglong, and they would wake up from their sleep in fright.
Emperor Qinglong stood for a while, seeing that Lin Huaiyu had no intention of waking up at all, he shook his head amusedly and dotingly, this child didn't sleep well last night, why did he sleep so deeply?
It was almost You hour, and Lin Huaiyu hadn't woken up yet.
Emperor Qinglong took his examination paper and knocked his head heavily, and he woke up from his sleep.
"woke up?"
Lin Huaiyu stopped stretching, he didn't expect Emperor Qinglong to stand in front of him.Immediately, he was extremely calm, without any trace of panic, he said: "Wake up."
Emperor Qinglong looked at Lin Huaiyu jokingly, and asked with interest: "How did you sleep?"
"It's good, but it's not comfortable to sleep on your stomach." Wait, why does he feel that this conversation is familiar, as if it happened somewhere before.
Seeing Lin Huaiyu's calm expression, Emperor Qinglong smiled and said, "Go home and continue to sleep." After speaking, he turned and left the Hall of Preservation and Harmony.
At this time, it was You hour, and the palace examination was over.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple waited for Emperor Qinglong to leave and came to collect Lin Huaiyu's examination papers.When collecting his examination papers, the officials looked at him with admiration, and exclaimed in their hearts, the people who can sleep in the palace examination are really ordinary, but when they wake up, they are afraid and panic when facing the emperor!
After the palace examination, all the tribute students left the palace in an orderly manner under the leadership of the eunuch.
As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, Lin Huaiyu saw Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen, and hurriedly walked towards them.
"Father, Uncle Song..." Ye Wenfu slapped him on the head before he could finish his words.
"Brat, didn't I tell you not to sleep in the palace exam, why did you fall asleep in the palace exam?"
Lin Huaiyu was a little wronged: "I didn't want to sleep at first, but I was too bored, and then I fell asleep without knowing it." The atmosphere in the Hall of Preserving Harmony was so good that he fell asleep uncontrollably.
"Are you a pig?" Ye Wenfu reached out and hit Lin Huaiyu on the head again.
"Old Ye, that's enough." Song Xiuwen stopped Ye Wenfu, "The emperor didn't blame Brother Huai."
"The emperor didn't blame him. The Taifu and the others are afraid that they will hold on to this matter."
"Didn't the emperor say, let the Taifu and the others review the examination papers fairly and impartially." Song Xiuwen comforted, "The Taifu and the others dare not mess around, let's go back first."
On the carriage home, Ye Wenfu gave Lin Huaiyu another lesson.
Lin Huaiyu admitted his mistakes very well, saying that he would not dare next time.
After returning home for dinner, Ye Wenfu was still criticizing Lin Huaiyu.
Mrs. Ye and the others were shocked, helpless and funny when they learned that Lin Huaiyu had fallen asleep during the palace examination.
"Brother Huai, your child can sleep in the Palace of Preserving Harmony, really... did you not sleep well last night?"
"Slept well last night."
"Then why did you fall asleep during the palace examination?"
"It was too boring, and the atmosphere was quiet, so I fell asleep before I knew it." After the exam, I felt relaxed, and the atmosphere was quiet and suitable for sleeping, so I couldn't help falling asleep.
"It's not the first time that my brother fell asleep in the exam." Xiao Daiyu didn't think it was a big fuss that her brother fell asleep in the palace exam.
"You kid has a big heart."
"Is he big-hearted? He is..."
Mrs. Ye interrupted Ye Wenfu, "Okay, you've been talking about Brother Huai since you came back, nagging on and on, you can stop in moderation." After finishing speaking, she picked up a piece of chicken for Lin Huaiyu, "Didn't eat well at noon Let's eat more tonight."
"Yes, stepmother."
Ye Wenfu, who was "threatened" by Mrs. Ye, dared not talk about Lin Huaiyu again, otherwise she would not be able to eat meat again.
After dinner, Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu took a walk in the yard to digest.The siblings would take walks together at noon and evening every day, chatting and digesting food.
"Brother, if you win the first prize, what will you do next?"
"If you win the first prize, you should be assigned to the Imperial Academy." Lin Huaiyuba is not allowed to work in the Imperial Academy, because the Imperial Academy is the royal "library", which has collected the world's best books.When he entered the Hanlin Academy, it was like a mouse entering a rice vat.Furthermore, Ye Wenfu was a bachelor in charge of the Imperial Academy, and he went to work in the Imperial Academy, so he didn't have to worry about being bullied.
"Isn't that in the same yamen as foster father?"
"That's right, so you don't have to worry about being bullied by your colleagues."
After the siblings finished their walk, Lin Huaiyu went to the study.He doesn't need to read and study tonight, he plans to practice painting.
Not long after he practiced painting, Mrs. Ye rushed him to rest.Mrs. Ye told him not to do anything for the next three days, not even to read books, but to rest for three days.
In the past two or three years, Lin Huaiyu has been studying day and night for the provincial examination, national examination, and palace examination.Now that the palace test is over, it's time for him to take a good rest.
In the three days before the announcement of the list, Lin Huaiyu lived a life of eating, sleeping, and eating under the compulsory request of Mrs. Ye.
While Lin Huaiyu and his group of tribute students were resting, the examiners were busy marking papers.
The day before the list was released, the examiners had another dispute over the top three spots.
There are two people who are evenly matched in the exam, and the examiners are constantly arguing over who is the second and who is the best.As for the No. [-] pick, there was no dispute among the examiners at all.Of course, the ministers headed by Taifu and Diange University Scholars still have some opinions on the champion, but Emperor Qinglong said that the scoring must be fair and just, and they are not easy to object.
The examiners couldn't go on for a while, so they had to ask Emperor Qinglong to make a decision.
Emperor Qinglong looked at the two comparable examination papers, and found that the answers were very good, but they were far behind Lin Huaiyu.
"There's no need to argue about it. If you look good, you will be Tanhua, and if you are not good-looking, you will be the second place." Since ancient times, Tanhualang has always been good-looking, and the Daqing Dynasty was no exception.
"Your Majesty, both of them are not good-looking, and they are a bit old." If one of these two is good-looking, they don't have to worry about it.
"Neither look good?"
"Yes." The Minister of Rites handed the portraits of the two to Emperor Qinglong, "Your Majesty, look."
Quan Dehai took the portrait, and held it respectfully in front of Emperor Qinglong.
Emperor Qinglong took a look at the portraits of these two people, and found that they were indeed not good-looking, and they looked old.
"What does No.4 look like?"
"Your Majesty, the top five people are not good-looking." A minister who reviewed the examination papers said, "Among the top ten, only No.8 is pretty good-looking, but his grades are not suitable for being a candidate."
"Your Majesty, the only one who looks the best this year is Lin Huaiyu."
To be honest, the appearance of this year's Gongsheng is the worst, but it is also the best.The worst class refers to the fact that the overall appearance of Gongsheng this year is very average, and few of them are good-looking.The best class refers to the best-looking candidate this year, that is, Lin Huaiyu, who is the most beautiful in the past 20 years.
Emperor Qinglong waved his hand: "Lin Huaiyu is not suitable for Tanhua." After speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Since there are no good-looking ones, then you can draw lots to get the second place and Tanhua from the two of them." It's a joke, but the level of these two people is really comparable, and it's impossible to tell who is the top and who is the bottom, and they can't be tied for second place, so they can only choose by drawing lots.
All the examiners present began to draw lots, and finally decided who was the second and who was the third.
The next day is the day of the announcement.The palace examination cannot be said to be published, but the accurate way to say it is to pass on a group of people.
Before dawn, Lin Huaiyu got up.After having breakfast at home, he followed Ye Wenfu to the palace.
Although today is the day of passing on a group of people, Ye Wenfu and his group of ministers still have to go to court as usual.At the gate of the palace, Lin Huaiyu went to the side to line up, waiting to be summoned into the palace.And Ye Wenfu went straight into the palace.
Lin Huaiyu and the others have not been summoned yet, and the Gongsheng students are very excited.However, because they were at the gate of the palace, the Gongsheng students did not dare to make any noise, so they could only discuss in a low voice.
As Huiyuan, Lin Huaiyu was naturally the object of conversation.Many people praised him for being the No. [-] scholar this time, but some people thought it was impossible for him to be the No. [-] scholar.
Lin Huaiyu said very modestly that he didn't dare to think about being the number one scholar, as long as he could be a Jinshi.
The number of Jinshi admissions this time is also much smaller than last time.Before, 120 people were accepted for the general examination, and only half of the number of people admitted for the palace examination was admitted, that is to say, only 60 people were admitted. The competition can be said to be very intense.However, the tribute students did not pay too much attention to whether they passed the Jinshi examination or not.It is naturally the best to pass the Jinshi examination.Of course, it doesn't matter if you fail the Jinshi exam.
At four o'clock, the eunuch came to lead Lin Huaiyu and the others into the palace.
This time when they entered the palace, the Gongsheng students were not as curious as they were a few days ago, but they were even more excited than they were a few days ago.
Lin Huaiyu and the others came to the square of the Palace of Preserving Harmony again, waiting quietly for Chuanlu.
After a while, three whips sounded suddenly.The sound of the whip was very loud, like thunder and lightning splitting the air.Then, there was another burst of music.
After the music ended, Lin Huaiyu and the others heard "kneeling" coming from the Hall of Preserving Harmony.
"My minister joins the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
Lin Huaiyu and his group of tribute students also quickly knelt down to salute.
At this moment, the familiar officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple appeared in front of Lin Huaiyu and the others again.
They first read: "In the April 19th year of Qinglong's Xin Chou Palace Examination, the imperial examination was planned, and the first class was awarded Jinshi and rank, the second class was awarded Jinshi's background, and the third class was awarded with Jinshi's background..."
After the reading is finished, the next step is to sing the list.
The singing list was sung by the Minister of Rites. He sang loudly: "Qinglong 19th Year Xin Chou Palace Examination No. 1..." The release of the list in the palace examination is different from the previous examinations. It is not announced from the last side, but from the No. 1 started publishing.
At this time, Lin Huaiyu's heart suddenly lifted.The hands hanging by the legs were tightly clenched into fists, and the palms were hot and humid.
It's the last step away from six yuan, and it depends on whether you can pass the exam or not.Boom, boom, heart beating fast and violently.
"No.1 Lin Huaiyu!"
This voice resounded throughout the square of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, and then the voice continued to pass on.After a while, the phrase "Yijia No. 1 Lin Huaiyu" resounded throughout the Forbidden City.
When Lin Huaiyu heard that he had won the first prize, Lin Huaiyu's brain went blank for a moment, but he looked calm in the eyes of others.
After the Minister of Rites announced who Tanhua was, Lin Huaiyu came back to his senses, and his heart was instantly enveloped in ecstasy.However, he still had a calm look on his face.
After a burst of ecstasy in his heart, Lin Huaiyu let out a long sigh of relief. He finally passed the six-yuan exam.In the past two or three years, studying hard was not in vain, and I did not disappoint my adoptive father and father.
After announcing the list of all the Jinshi, Lin Huaiyu and the others were taken away from the square of the Palace of Preserving Harmony by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and went to another palace.
In another palace, Lin Huaiyu changed into the number one scholar's uniform under the service of the eunuch.
The No. [-] and Tanhua also changed into their No. [-] and Tanhua uniforms, while the others changed into Jinshi uniforms.
Lin Huaiyu's red lips and white teeth made Lin Huaiyu's red lips and white teeth adorned by a red top scholar's suit, making her handsome and compelling.
The two young eunuchs who waited on Lin Huaiyu's dressing couldn't help but blush slightly when they saw such a handsome number one scholar.
After the champion, second place, and Tanhua changed their clothes, they walked on the imperial road under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Rites.
Yudao, as the name suggests, is the road that the emperor walks, that is to say, no one can walk this road except the emperor, but today is an exception.
Every time the number one scholar, the second place, and Tanhua in the palace examination are fortunate enough to walk on the royal road on the day of Chuanlu, this is a supreme honor.Because most people will not be able to walk on the royal road in their whole life.
Lin Huaiyu and the others walked on the royal road, then stopped to bow down and thank you.
"Chen Lin Huaiyu, thank you Lord Long for your kindness."
The second place and Tanhua knelt behind Lin Huaiyu.
After Lin Huaiyu and the others finished thanking them, they walked into the Hall of Preserving Harmony under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Rites.
The two sides of the Hall of Preserving Harmony were full of civil and military officials, and they watched Lin Huaiyu and the three of them enter.
Lin Huaiyu walked in front, facing all the eyes of civil and military officials calmly.
All civil and military officials were shocked to see that Xinke Zhuangyuan Lang was so handsome and still so young.What surprised them the most was the new champion Lang Liuyuan Jidi, who was the first champion to win six consecutive prizes since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty!
Ye Wenfu looked at Lin Huaiyu who walked in with satisfaction, and was full of pride in his heart. This is the student he taught, and he was the first six-yuan and number one scholar in the Daqing Dynasty!
No. [-] and Tanhua were not as calm as Lin Huaiyu. They were watched by civil and military officials, and they were very nervous and frightened, and their legs went weak from fright.
"Chen Lin Huaiyu sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
No. [-] and Tanhua hurriedly followed Lin Huaiyu, knelt down and kowtowed to salute.
"Flat body."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qinglong saw Lin Huaiyu's calm expression, without a trace of panic or excitement, he couldn't help being surprised, thinking that this kid who passed the sixth grade is so calm, it's really surprising.
"Dear dears, how is our new champion?"
"Brilliant."
"Young genius."
"Outstanding."
"Heaven favors talents."
"Six yuan and first, unique."
All kinds of compliments from the ministers made Lin Huaiyu himself feel a little embarrassed.
"Lin Huaiyu."
"The minister is here."
Emperor Qinglong stepped down from the dragon chair, took a few steps forward, looked at Lin Huaiyu who was standing below with kind eyes, and asked in a gentle tone, "How does Liuyuan Jidi feel?"
Lin Huaiyu said very honestly: "Going back to the emperor, I feel very good about getting six yuan, and at the same time I am relieved."
"Relieved?"
"I was not sure whether I could pass the Liuyuan exam before, but now that I have passed the Liuyuan exam, I am relieved." Lin Huaiyu added, "But now I feel the pressure again." He was the founder of the Daqing Dynasty. Since then, the first person who has passed the sixth yuan, scholars all over the world will pay attention to him and take him as the goal.
Emperor Qinglong didn't expect Lin Huaiyu to say that, and asked with interest: "Why do you feel the pressure now?"
"Because I am the first person in Daqing who has passed the six yuan mark, scholars all over the world will target me in the future, which puts me under a lot of pressure. After all, I don't know if I can set a good example." Alas, six yuan and Cap is really a sweet burden.
When Emperor Qinglong heard his words, he joked, "You still think a lot."
"Your Majesty, I have to think about it." Throughout history, very few people passed the exam.Before him, there were only two people who got six yuan in the exam.One is from the former dynasty, and the other is from the Song dynasty.
"You think so." Emperor Qinglong praised Xia Lin Huaiyu, and then asked the model and Tanhua a few words.
Facing the emperor's question, Model and Tanhua were not as calm as Lin Huaiyu. They trembled and stuttered when they answered.
Compared with Lin Huaiyu, the performance of these two people is much worse.
After talking to No. [-] and Tanhua, Emperor Qinglong looked at Lin Huaiyu again: "Lin Huaiyu, you won six yuan in a row. I should reward you. What reward do you want?"
"Your Majesty, getting six yuan in the exam is the best reward, there is no need for other rewards." Suddenly asked him what reward he wanted, but he really didn't know what reward he wanted.
Emperor Qinglong was very satisfied with Lin Huaiyu's answer.
"I will reward you with a six yuan mansion."
Lin Huaiyu immediately knelt down to thank her when she heard the words, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Lin Huaiyu, have you ever been married?"
When Emperor Qinglong asked this question, Lin Huaiyu's heart skipped a beat, this is the rhythm of giving a marriage.
"I have never been married." Although his adoptive father had told him that he might be given a marriage when he won the first prize in the examination, he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect that his adoptive father would actually be the one.
"Since you have never been married, I will give you a marriage."
Lin Huaiyu really wanted to refuse, but he didn't have the guts to refuse, so he could only accept Emperor Qinglong's kindness.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qinglong looked at the co-organizer who was the first minister standing on the right, "Fu Aiqing, I remember that your eldest daughter is about the same age as Lin Huaiyu."
Fu Xuezhi walked out of the queue, saluted Emperor Qinglong first, and then said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of this minister is as old as the number one scholar."
"I remember that your eldest daughter was never married either?"
"Never married."
"In this case, what do you think of Lin Huaiyu as your eldest son-in-law?"
"It's my daughter's honor." Fu Xuezhi had learned from his elder sister, the Empress Empress, that the emperor would marry his eldest daughter, Fu Shiyu, to Xinke Zhuangyuan Lang.Now, hearing Emperor Qinglong say that, he didn't have any surprises in his heart.
"Since that's the case, Lin Huaiyu, I marry you the eldest daughter of Master Fu's family, what do you think?"
"It's my honor, thank you Lord Long En."
When Emperor Qinglong called Fu Xuezhi out just now, Lin Huaiyu dug up the memories of the two girls from the Fu family he had met.Although he had forgotten about this matter a long time ago, Lin Huaiyu had a good memory, and he quickly found the information about Fu Xuezhi's eldest daughter.He guessed that it should be the girl named Fu Shiyu.
Although they met twice at that time, Fu Shiyu gave Lin Huaiyu the impression of being calm, while Fu Shiyun was a little lively.Lin Huaiyu rejoiced in her heart that she was the eldest daughter, not the second daughter.He doesn't like girls who are blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Emperor Qinglong's gift of marriage surprised the ministers present.They didn't expect that Emperor Qinglong would marry Fu Xuezhi's eldest daughter to Lin Ruhai's son, which made them think too much.
The Fu family is the mother's family of the empress and the ancestral family of the present prince.The emperor asked Lin Ruhai's son to marry the eldest daughter of the Fu family. Isn't this creating momentum for the prince?
After giving the marriage, Emperor Qinglong asked Lin Huaiyu and the others to retire.
Next, Lin Huaiyu and the others want to praise officials in the imperial street. This is the most glorious moment in their lives.
Lin Huaiyu and the others rode tall red horses under the envious eyes of a group of Jinshi.Lin Huaiyu rode in front, followed by Bang No. [-] and Tan Hua on horseback, and the others followed on foot.
In front of Lin Huaiyu and the others, there were guards holding flags and signs and walking ahead to clear the way.The words "Liuyuan and Dilin Huaiyu" were written on the banners they held.There are also servants playing and playing, with gongs, drums and firecrackers all the way.
When Lin Huaiyu and the others walked to the main road in the capital, there were people standing on both sides.
Every time the imperial street praises officials, the common people in the capital will come to watch.On this day, the daughters and ladies who usually don't go out will also go out to see the champion.
When seeing Zhuangyuan Lang, the common people cheered.This year's No. [-] scholar looks so good-looking, which makes the enthusiasm of the people in the capital even higher.
The common people were still shouting loudly: "Zhuangyuan Lang!"
"Oh, why is this year's No. [-] Scholar so handsome?"
"The number one scholar is so young."
"What does six yuan and the first mean?"
"Six Yuan and No. [-] is the No. [-] scholar since the county examination."
"This is our first six-yuan and No. [-] champion in Daqing."
"Heaven is a genius."
"I heard that the number one scholar is only 16 years old."
"At the age of 16, he won six yuan and won the first prize. The number one scholar will definitely be extraordinary in the future."
"I don't know if the number one scholar is married."
"Zhuangyuan Lang is so handsome and young, there must be many people robbing him to be his son-in-law."
"The number one scholar is approaching!"
As Lin Huaiyu approached, people on both sides of the street looked at him more fervently, and the cheers became louder and louder.
Don't know it is
"The ministers are waiting to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
"Flat body."
Hearing a majestic voice in the hall, many candidates were very excited.For the Gongsheng who were kneeling on the ground, this was the first time they heard the holy voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Among the tribute students, only Lin Huaiyu was calm, and he stood up first.
After he stood up, he found that there were still many candidates who hadn't got up.Because these candidates were too excited, they forgot to get up for a while.Seeing this scene, the Minister of Rites coughed lightly. The examinees hurriedly stood up as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Next, Emperor Qinglong said a few words.First, he told the Gongsheng students that he had great expectations for them, and they should not disappoint his expectations.Then, he encouraged all the tribute students to take the palace exam well.
All the tribute students were excited again after listening to the "sacred teaching".Out of the corner of Lin Huaiyu's eyes, she saw that many Gong students blushed with excitement, and some candidates were trembling with excitement.
After Emperor Qinglong finished speaking, there was a burst of drum music outside the hall, followed by firecrackers.
After the sound outside the hall ended, Lin Huaiyu and the others sat down according to their seats.He is the Huiyuan, so the seat is naturally the first.
After the Gongsheng students were seated, officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple began to distribute test papers.
After Lin Huaiyu got the test paper, the old rule was to check for mistakes, omissions or ambiguities.After the inspection, there was no problem, so he began to write his name on the test paper.
After writing her name, Lin Huaiyu began to scan the questions.There are a total of seven questions in this year's palace examination.These seven questions may seem simple at first glance, but they are not simple, and there are hidden mysteries in them.
The exam questions are very flexible and very deceptive.Just like the first question now, the theme is loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.This question seems to be very easy to write, but it is not so easy to write it well.
Seeing the first question, Lin Huaiyu couldn't help but think of Prince Li's group.
The emperor's first question was "loyalty to the emperor". If he said that it had nothing to do with Prince Li, he would not believe it.
Lin Huaiyu was not in a hurry to write, but was thinking about what angle to write.
Other Gongsheng have already written like flying.For them, writing "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" comes at their fingertips.
Emperor Qinglong sat on the dragon chair, while reviewing the memorial, he looked down at the examinees below.He was a little surprised to see other candidates answering the questions with their heads down, but Lin Huaiyu didn't write for a long time.
Lin Huaiyu felt that the first question was related to the people of Prince Li's faction, so he wrote it from the perspective of "rebels".There are many rebels who rebelled in history, but we have to choose a few representative ones, and the situation is similar to that of Prince Li.
Just when he was about to write, he felt eyes falling on him. He looked over and saw that Emperor Qinglong was looking at him. He was slightly startled, but then he calmly withdrew his eyes and started to answer the question. .
Seeing that Lin Huaiyu looked away calmly, and then answered the question calmly, Emperor Qinglong raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this kid is really calm.
Lin Huaiyu answered the questions on the manuscript paper without rushing.When he finished writing on the manuscript paper and was about to copy it into the examination paper, he heard footsteps, and then a bright yellow light appeared in the corner of his eyes.
Emperor Qinglong reviewed the memorial for a while, and decided to come down to see how the tribute students answered the questions.
Lin Huaiyu sat first, so Emperor Qinglong naturally read his answers first.
Seeing Emperor Qinglong walking in front of him, Lin Huaiyu felt no disturbance in his heart, and very calmly copied the content written on the manuscript paper into the examination paper.
Emperor Qinglong lowered his head and stared at the contents of Lin Huaiyu's manuscript.Just reading the first sentence, I was shocked.
When the other Gongsheng saw the emperor coming down, they were excited, nervous, restless and flustered.
Lin Huaiyu turned a blind eye to Emperor Qinglong standing in front of him, and answered the questions vigorously.
Emperor Qinglong stared at Lin Huaiyu's answer, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.After reading it, he took a deep look at Lin Huaiyu, and then went to other candidates to answer the questions.
The others were not as calm as Lin Huaiyu. When they saw the emperor standing in front of them, they were so excited and panicked that they couldn't answer the questions properly.Many candidates still have shaking hands and can't even write well.
Emperor Qinglong walked around and saw that the other candidates could not answer the questions well, so he stopped directly in front of Lin Huaiyu and continued to read his answers below.
Lin Huaiyu noticed that Emperor Qinglong was standing in front of him and did not leave, nor did he care, and continued to answer his questions calmly.
Seeing Emperor Qinglong standing in front of Lin Huaiyu, the other candidates felt both envy and admiration.I envy Lin Huaiyu for being so concerned by Emperor Qinglong.I admire him for being able to answer questions without panic in front of the emperor.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple were also very surprised and curious when they saw Emperor Qinglong standing in front of Lin Huaiyu.
Emperor Qinglong watched it for a long time before leaving, and returned to the dragon chair to continue reviewing the memorial.
At noon, Emperor Qinglong left Baohe Hall and returned to the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace for lunch.Lin Huaiyu and his candidates were not allowed to leave the Hall of Preservation and Harmony for lunch, but the officials would give them lunch.
Although the lunch is still steamed buns, the steamed buns made by Gongli Yushufang are not ordinary steamed buns, they taste very good.
After Lin Huaiyu finished eating the steamed buns, he drank a few more sips of tea, and then continued to answer questions.
In the afternoon, Emperor Qinglong did not appear in the Palace of Preserving Harmony.
Emperor Qinglong had so many opportunities to deal with, it was impossible to stay in the Hall of Preserving Harmony and watch the tribute students answer questions all day.
"I decided to hold a spring hunt before the Duanyang Festival."
"Your Majesty, have you decided?"
"The emperor will be in danger."
"Your Majesty, I think it's too risky."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to take the risk yourself."
Emperor Qinglong raised his hand to stop Ye Wenfu's persuasion, "I have made up my mind to hold a spring hunt on the first day of May." After the palace examination, they can catch them all.
Seeing that Emperor Qinglong was determined to do this, Ye Wenfu and the others knew that it would be useless to persuade them.All they can do is to make perfect preparations so that the emperor will be safe and sound during the spring hunting.
In the imperial study, Emperor Qinglong and Ye Wenfu discussed all matters concerning the spring hunting.In the Palace of Preserving Harmony, Lin Huaiyu and his fellow tribute students were still answering the questions with great scribbles.
The palace examination lasted for one day and ended at You hour.
Lin Huaiyu answered all the exam questions at Weishi, and there were still two hours before the exam was handed in at Youshi.He didn't want to sleep at first, but he was so bored that he accidentally fell asleep while lying on the table.
Seeing that Lin Huaiyu had fallen asleep, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals widened their eyes in shock, with an expression of disbelief.The officials of the Ministry of Rites felt that Lin Huaiyu was too courageous to take the palace examination, and he was still in the Palace of Preserving Harmony, so he dared to sleep.
Seeing that Lin Huaiyu fell asleep lying on the table, the other candidates also felt that he was too bold to sleep in the palace examination.
Quan Dehai came to Baohe Hall to have a look at Emperor Qinglong's order, but when he saw Lin Huaiyu falling asleep on the table, he was also stunned.
My dear, this Mr. Lin actually slept in the palace examination, he is really courageous.However, having said that, being able to sleep in the palace examination, and to sleep so deeply, is not something ordinary people can do. This Mr. Lin is really heartless.
Quan Dehai watched it for a while, then exited the Hall of Preservation and Returned to the Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Qinglong and the others had just discussed something and were drinking tea for a break. When they saw Quan Dehai came back, they asked, "How is it?"
"Back to the emperor, everything is fine, just..." Quan Dehai hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
Seeing Quan Dehai's stammering appearance, Emperor Qinglong slightly raised his eyebrows, "What is it?"
"Young Master Lin is asleep."
When Emperor Qinglong heard this, he stopped holding the teacup, and he couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Ye Wenfu was so startled that he choked a mouthful of tea into his throat when he heard this, and coughed violently. "I'm rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qinglong waved his hand lightly, signaling Ye Wenfu not to worry.
"You said Lin Huaiyu fell asleep?"
"Yes, I saw Mr. Lin sleeping soundly." Quan Dehai added, "Only Mr. Lin fell asleep."
"Hahahahaha..." Emperor Qinglong laughed loudly, "This kid really dares to sleep."
Ye Wenfu scolded Lin Huaiyu in his heart, can you sleep in the palace test?
"Your Majesty, it's okay for me to teach you, please forgive me."
"Aiqing, why are you guilty?" Emperor Qinglong said with a smile, "Sleeping in the palace examination did not break the law, so Aiqing don't need to worry about it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Before he left, this kid specifically told him not to sleep in the palace exam, so why did he sleep in the palace exam again? !
Before the palace examination started, Ye Wenfu was afraid that Lin Huaiyu would fall asleep during the palace examination, so he specially told him not to sleep during the palace examination, but the warning was in vain.
"Why did Mr. Lin fall asleep? Did he pass the exam?"
"The slave looks like he passed the exam."
The Tai Tuo said with a serious face: "How decent is it to sleep in the palace examination?"
The grand scholar of Diange frowned slightly and said: "I passed the exam, I should check it again, but he fell asleep, this is really..."
"I read his answers, and they answered very well." Emperor Qinglong said with a smile on his face, "Being able to sleep in the palace examination shows that he is in a good state of mind."
The Taifu snorted coldly: "I am afraid that he is the only one who dares to sleep in the palace examination." After speaking, he added, "Too proud!"
Grand Master Diange agreed with Tai Tuo's words: "Too proud and complacent, I shouldn't give him Huiyuan."
Ye Wenfu was not happy when he heard this, and immediately turned back: "Bachelor, what do you mean you shouldn't give him the Huiyuan? He obviously passed the exam by himself, so why did you give it to him?"
Song Xiuwen echoed, "It's really interesting that someone's child passed the Huiyuan exam with his own ability, and it turned out that you gave him alms."
"you……"
Seeing that they were about to argue again, Emperor Qinglong quickly interrupted them: "Okay, I said before that we should mark the students' examination papers fairly and impartially, and don't feel that the students don't deserve the honor that belongs to them just because they are young. "
After hearing this, Taifu and Grand Master Diange didn't say anything more.
"Being able to sleep in the palace examination is not something ordinary people can do." Emperor Qinglong praised, "I think he is pretty good."
Ye Wenfu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Emperor Qinglong say that.
Song Xiuwen said: "When I finished all the questions in the palace examination, I felt bored and quietly dozed off." He glanced at the Taifu and the others, and continued, "You can't hand in the papers in advance for the palace examination. If you have nothing to do after the examination, can't you just sleep? Those who didn’t sleep in the palace exam were because they didn’t do well in the exam, they couldn’t sleep by themselves, and they blamed others for sleeping, why don’t they blame themselves for their incompetence?”
The Grand Tutor and Grand Master Diange felt as if they had been connoted, and glared at Song Xiuwen angrily.
"We don't have a law in Daqing that says you can't sleep in the palace exam. You didn't dare to sleep in the palace exam back then, so don't think it's a crime for other people's children to sleep in the palace exam." Song Xiuwen glanced sideways at the Taifu and the palace scholar, "You all Don't be jealous of other people's children's talents when you are very old."
"Song Xiuwen!"
"Teacher, I have very good ears, so there is no need for you to call me so loudly."
Seeing that there was another quarrel, Emperor Qinglong glared at Song Xiuwen, and called out warningly: "Song Aiqing."
"Your Majesty, I'm done talking." Song Xiuwen accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't say anything more.
The Grand Tutor and the Grand Master Diange were so angry by him that their faces were livid.
Ye Wenfu lowered his head and tried his best to hold back a smile.
In terms of slandering people, Song Xiuwen's skills are as profound as his knowledge.
Emperor Qinglong shook his head helplessly, and continued talking about Spring Hunting.
Speaking of spring hunting, Tai Tuo and Song Xiuwen temporarily "turned hostility into friendship" and seriously discussed the arrangement of spring hunting.
In the Hall of Preserving Harmony, Lin Huaiyu didn't know that because of him, several ministers quarreled.At this time, he was lying on the table and sleeping very soundly.
Every time officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple came to his desk, they couldn't help but look at him several times.
It was uncomfortable to sleep on the stomach, and Lin Huaiyu woke up from numbness in the middle of her sleep.The officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple saw that he was awake, thinking that he would not sleep again, but saw that he changed his position and continued to sleep on the desk.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple: "!!!!!!"
Other candidates: "..." This brother must have eaten bear heart and leopard gall, or else he had eaten gentian and phoenix liver.
Before the end of the palace examination, Emperor Qinglong came to the Palace of Preserving Harmony.As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Lin Huaiyu sleeping on the table. He walked over, picked up the exam paper that Lin Huaiyu had answered, and read it.
Lin Huaiyu, who was sleeping, didn't realize that there was someone standing in front of his desk, and it was Emperor Qinglong.However, if it were someone else, even if they were asleep, they would probably be able to feel the majesty of Emperor Qinglong, and they would wake up from their sleep in fright.
Emperor Qinglong stood for a while, seeing that Lin Huaiyu had no intention of waking up at all, he shook his head amusedly and dotingly, this child didn't sleep well last night, why did he sleep so deeply?
It was almost You hour, and Lin Huaiyu hadn't woken up yet.
Emperor Qinglong took his examination paper and knocked his head heavily, and he woke up from his sleep.
"woke up?"
Lin Huaiyu stopped stretching, he didn't expect Emperor Qinglong to stand in front of him.Immediately, he was extremely calm, without any trace of panic, he said: "Wake up."
Emperor Qinglong looked at Lin Huaiyu jokingly, and asked with interest: "How did you sleep?"
"It's good, but it's not comfortable to sleep on your stomach." Wait, why does he feel that this conversation is familiar, as if it happened somewhere before.
Seeing Lin Huaiyu's calm expression, Emperor Qinglong smiled and said, "Go home and continue to sleep." After speaking, he turned and left the Hall of Preservation and Harmony.
At this time, it was You hour, and the palace examination was over.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple waited for Emperor Qinglong to leave and came to collect Lin Huaiyu's examination papers.When collecting his examination papers, the officials looked at him with admiration, and exclaimed in their hearts, the people who can sleep in the palace examination are really ordinary, but when they wake up, they are afraid and panic when facing the emperor!
After the palace examination, all the tribute students left the palace in an orderly manner under the leadership of the eunuch.
As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, Lin Huaiyu saw Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen, and hurriedly walked towards them.
"Father, Uncle Song..." Ye Wenfu slapped him on the head before he could finish his words.
"Brat, didn't I tell you not to sleep in the palace exam, why did you fall asleep in the palace exam?"
Lin Huaiyu was a little wronged: "I didn't want to sleep at first, but I was too bored, and then I fell asleep without knowing it." The atmosphere in the Hall of Preserving Harmony was so good that he fell asleep uncontrollably.
"Are you a pig?" Ye Wenfu reached out and hit Lin Huaiyu on the head again.
"Old Ye, that's enough." Song Xiuwen stopped Ye Wenfu, "The emperor didn't blame Brother Huai."
"The emperor didn't blame him. The Taifu and the others are afraid that they will hold on to this matter."
"Didn't the emperor say, let the Taifu and the others review the examination papers fairly and impartially." Song Xiuwen comforted, "The Taifu and the others dare not mess around, let's go back first."
On the carriage home, Ye Wenfu gave Lin Huaiyu another lesson.
Lin Huaiyu admitted his mistakes very well, saying that he would not dare next time.
After returning home for dinner, Ye Wenfu was still criticizing Lin Huaiyu.
Mrs. Ye and the others were shocked, helpless and funny when they learned that Lin Huaiyu had fallen asleep during the palace examination.
"Brother Huai, your child can sleep in the Palace of Preserving Harmony, really... did you not sleep well last night?"
"Slept well last night."
"Then why did you fall asleep during the palace examination?"
"It was too boring, and the atmosphere was quiet, so I fell asleep before I knew it." After the exam, I felt relaxed, and the atmosphere was quiet and suitable for sleeping, so I couldn't help falling asleep.
"It's not the first time that my brother fell asleep in the exam." Xiao Daiyu didn't think it was a big fuss that her brother fell asleep in the palace exam.
"You kid has a big heart."
"Is he big-hearted? He is..."
Mrs. Ye interrupted Ye Wenfu, "Okay, you've been talking about Brother Huai since you came back, nagging on and on, you can stop in moderation." After finishing speaking, she picked up a piece of chicken for Lin Huaiyu, "Didn't eat well at noon Let's eat more tonight."
"Yes, stepmother."
Ye Wenfu, who was "threatened" by Mrs. Ye, dared not talk about Lin Huaiyu again, otherwise she would not be able to eat meat again.
After dinner, Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu took a walk in the yard to digest.The siblings would take walks together at noon and evening every day, chatting and digesting food.
"Brother, if you win the first prize, what will you do next?"
"If you win the first prize, you should be assigned to the Imperial Academy." Lin Huaiyuba is not allowed to work in the Imperial Academy, because the Imperial Academy is the royal "library", which has collected the world's best books.When he entered the Hanlin Academy, it was like a mouse entering a rice vat.Furthermore, Ye Wenfu was a bachelor in charge of the Imperial Academy, and he went to work in the Imperial Academy, so he didn't have to worry about being bullied.
"Isn't that in the same yamen as foster father?"
"That's right, so you don't have to worry about being bullied by your colleagues."
After the siblings finished their walk, Lin Huaiyu went to the study.He doesn't need to read and study tonight, he plans to practice painting.
Not long after he practiced painting, Mrs. Ye rushed him to rest.Mrs. Ye told him not to do anything for the next three days, not even to read books, but to rest for three days.
In the past two or three years, Lin Huaiyu has been studying day and night for the provincial examination, national examination, and palace examination.Now that the palace test is over, it's time for him to take a good rest.
In the three days before the announcement of the list, Lin Huaiyu lived a life of eating, sleeping, and eating under the compulsory request of Mrs. Ye.
While Lin Huaiyu and his group of tribute students were resting, the examiners were busy marking papers.
The day before the list was released, the examiners had another dispute over the top three spots.
There are two people who are evenly matched in the exam, and the examiners are constantly arguing over who is the second and who is the best.As for the No. [-] pick, there was no dispute among the examiners at all.Of course, the ministers headed by Taifu and Diange University Scholars still have some opinions on the champion, but Emperor Qinglong said that the scoring must be fair and just, and they are not easy to object.
The examiners couldn't go on for a while, so they had to ask Emperor Qinglong to make a decision.
Emperor Qinglong looked at the two comparable examination papers, and found that the answers were very good, but they were far behind Lin Huaiyu.
"There's no need to argue about it. If you look good, you will be Tanhua, and if you are not good-looking, you will be the second place." Since ancient times, Tanhualang has always been good-looking, and the Daqing Dynasty was no exception.
"Your Majesty, both of them are not good-looking, and they are a bit old." If one of these two is good-looking, they don't have to worry about it.
"Neither look good?"
"Yes." The Minister of Rites handed the portraits of the two to Emperor Qinglong, "Your Majesty, look."
Quan Dehai took the portrait, and held it respectfully in front of Emperor Qinglong.
Emperor Qinglong took a look at the portraits of these two people, and found that they were indeed not good-looking, and they looked old.
"What does No.4 look like?"
"Your Majesty, the top five people are not good-looking." A minister who reviewed the examination papers said, "Among the top ten, only No.8 is pretty good-looking, but his grades are not suitable for being a candidate."
"Your Majesty, the only one who looks the best this year is Lin Huaiyu."
To be honest, the appearance of this year's Gongsheng is the worst, but it is also the best.The worst class refers to the fact that the overall appearance of Gongsheng this year is very average, and few of them are good-looking.The best class refers to the best-looking candidate this year, that is, Lin Huaiyu, who is the most beautiful in the past 20 years.
Emperor Qinglong waved his hand: "Lin Huaiyu is not suitable for Tanhua." After speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Since there are no good-looking ones, then you can draw lots to get the second place and Tanhua from the two of them." It's a joke, but the level of these two people is really comparable, and it's impossible to tell who is the top and who is the bottom, and they can't be tied for second place, so they can only choose by drawing lots.
All the examiners present began to draw lots, and finally decided who was the second and who was the third.
The next day is the day of the announcement.The palace examination cannot be said to be published, but the accurate way to say it is to pass on a group of people.
Before dawn, Lin Huaiyu got up.After having breakfast at home, he followed Ye Wenfu to the palace.
Although today is the day of passing on a group of people, Ye Wenfu and his group of ministers still have to go to court as usual.At the gate of the palace, Lin Huaiyu went to the side to line up, waiting to be summoned into the palace.And Ye Wenfu went straight into the palace.
Lin Huaiyu and the others have not been summoned yet, and the Gongsheng students are very excited.However, because they were at the gate of the palace, the Gongsheng students did not dare to make any noise, so they could only discuss in a low voice.
As Huiyuan, Lin Huaiyu was naturally the object of conversation.Many people praised him for being the No. [-] scholar this time, but some people thought it was impossible for him to be the No. [-] scholar.
Lin Huaiyu said very modestly that he didn't dare to think about being the number one scholar, as long as he could be a Jinshi.
The number of Jinshi admissions this time is also much smaller than last time.Before, 120 people were accepted for the general examination, and only half of the number of people admitted for the palace examination was admitted, that is to say, only 60 people were admitted. The competition can be said to be very intense.However, the tribute students did not pay too much attention to whether they passed the Jinshi examination or not.It is naturally the best to pass the Jinshi examination.Of course, it doesn't matter if you fail the Jinshi exam.
At four o'clock, the eunuch came to lead Lin Huaiyu and the others into the palace.
This time when they entered the palace, the Gongsheng students were not as curious as they were a few days ago, but they were even more excited than they were a few days ago.
Lin Huaiyu and the others came to the square of the Palace of Preserving Harmony again, waiting quietly for Chuanlu.
After a while, three whips sounded suddenly.The sound of the whip was very loud, like thunder and lightning splitting the air.Then, there was another burst of music.
After the music ended, Lin Huaiyu and the others heard "kneeling" coming from the Hall of Preserving Harmony.
"My minister joins the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
Lin Huaiyu and his group of tribute students also quickly knelt down to salute.
At this moment, the familiar officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple appeared in front of Lin Huaiyu and the others again.
They first read: "In the April 19th year of Qinglong's Xin Chou Palace Examination, the imperial examination was planned, and the first class was awarded Jinshi and rank, the second class was awarded Jinshi's background, and the third class was awarded with Jinshi's background..."
After the reading is finished, the next step is to sing the list.
The singing list was sung by the Minister of Rites. He sang loudly: "Qinglong 19th Year Xin Chou Palace Examination No. 1..." The release of the list in the palace examination is different from the previous examinations. It is not announced from the last side, but from the No. 1 started publishing.
At this time, Lin Huaiyu's heart suddenly lifted.The hands hanging by the legs were tightly clenched into fists, and the palms were hot and humid.
It's the last step away from six yuan, and it depends on whether you can pass the exam or not.Boom, boom, heart beating fast and violently.
"No.1 Lin Huaiyu!"
This voice resounded throughout the square of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, and then the voice continued to pass on.After a while, the phrase "Yijia No. 1 Lin Huaiyu" resounded throughout the Forbidden City.
When Lin Huaiyu heard that he had won the first prize, Lin Huaiyu's brain went blank for a moment, but he looked calm in the eyes of others.
After the Minister of Rites announced who Tanhua was, Lin Huaiyu came back to his senses, and his heart was instantly enveloped in ecstasy.However, he still had a calm look on his face.
After a burst of ecstasy in his heart, Lin Huaiyu let out a long sigh of relief. He finally passed the six-yuan exam.In the past two or three years, studying hard was not in vain, and I did not disappoint my adoptive father and father.
After announcing the list of all the Jinshi, Lin Huaiyu and the others were taken away from the square of the Palace of Preserving Harmony by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and went to another palace.
In another palace, Lin Huaiyu changed into the number one scholar's uniform under the service of the eunuch.
The No. [-] and Tanhua also changed into their No. [-] and Tanhua uniforms, while the others changed into Jinshi uniforms.
Lin Huaiyu's red lips and white teeth made Lin Huaiyu's red lips and white teeth adorned by a red top scholar's suit, making her handsome and compelling.
The two young eunuchs who waited on Lin Huaiyu's dressing couldn't help but blush slightly when they saw such a handsome number one scholar.
After the champion, second place, and Tanhua changed their clothes, they walked on the imperial road under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Rites.
Yudao, as the name suggests, is the road that the emperor walks, that is to say, no one can walk this road except the emperor, but today is an exception.
Every time the number one scholar, the second place, and Tanhua in the palace examination are fortunate enough to walk on the royal road on the day of Chuanlu, this is a supreme honor.Because most people will not be able to walk on the royal road in their whole life.
Lin Huaiyu and the others walked on the royal road, then stopped to bow down and thank you.
"Chen Lin Huaiyu, thank you Lord Long for your kindness."
The second place and Tanhua knelt behind Lin Huaiyu.
After Lin Huaiyu and the others finished thanking them, they walked into the Hall of Preserving Harmony under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Rites.
The two sides of the Hall of Preserving Harmony were full of civil and military officials, and they watched Lin Huaiyu and the three of them enter.
Lin Huaiyu walked in front, facing all the eyes of civil and military officials calmly.
All civil and military officials were shocked to see that Xinke Zhuangyuan Lang was so handsome and still so young.What surprised them the most was the new champion Lang Liuyuan Jidi, who was the first champion to win six consecutive prizes since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty!
Ye Wenfu looked at Lin Huaiyu who walked in with satisfaction, and was full of pride in his heart. This is the student he taught, and he was the first six-yuan and number one scholar in the Daqing Dynasty!
No. [-] and Tanhua were not as calm as Lin Huaiyu. They were watched by civil and military officials, and they were very nervous and frightened, and their legs went weak from fright.
"Chen Lin Huaiyu sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
No. [-] and Tanhua hurriedly followed Lin Huaiyu, knelt down and kowtowed to salute.
"Flat body."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qinglong saw Lin Huaiyu's calm expression, without a trace of panic or excitement, he couldn't help being surprised, thinking that this kid who passed the sixth grade is so calm, it's really surprising.
"Dear dears, how is our new champion?"
"Brilliant."
"Young genius."
"Outstanding."
"Heaven favors talents."
"Six yuan and first, unique."
All kinds of compliments from the ministers made Lin Huaiyu himself feel a little embarrassed.
"Lin Huaiyu."
"The minister is here."
Emperor Qinglong stepped down from the dragon chair, took a few steps forward, looked at Lin Huaiyu who was standing below with kind eyes, and asked in a gentle tone, "How does Liuyuan Jidi feel?"
Lin Huaiyu said very honestly: "Going back to the emperor, I feel very good about getting six yuan, and at the same time I am relieved."
"Relieved?"
"I was not sure whether I could pass the Liuyuan exam before, but now that I have passed the Liuyuan exam, I am relieved." Lin Huaiyu added, "But now I feel the pressure again." He was the founder of the Daqing Dynasty. Since then, the first person who has passed the sixth yuan, scholars all over the world will pay attention to him and take him as the goal.
Emperor Qinglong didn't expect Lin Huaiyu to say that, and asked with interest: "Why do you feel the pressure now?"
"Because I am the first person in Daqing who has passed the six yuan mark, scholars all over the world will target me in the future, which puts me under a lot of pressure. After all, I don't know if I can set a good example." Alas, six yuan and Cap is really a sweet burden.
When Emperor Qinglong heard his words, he joked, "You still think a lot."
"Your Majesty, I have to think about it." Throughout history, very few people passed the exam.Before him, there were only two people who got six yuan in the exam.One is from the former dynasty, and the other is from the Song dynasty.
"You think so." Emperor Qinglong praised Xia Lin Huaiyu, and then asked the model and Tanhua a few words.
Facing the emperor's question, Model and Tanhua were not as calm as Lin Huaiyu. They trembled and stuttered when they answered.
Compared with Lin Huaiyu, the performance of these two people is much worse.
After talking to No. [-] and Tanhua, Emperor Qinglong looked at Lin Huaiyu again: "Lin Huaiyu, you won six yuan in a row. I should reward you. What reward do you want?"
"Your Majesty, getting six yuan in the exam is the best reward, there is no need for other rewards." Suddenly asked him what reward he wanted, but he really didn't know what reward he wanted.
Emperor Qinglong was very satisfied with Lin Huaiyu's answer.
"I will reward you with a six yuan mansion."
Lin Huaiyu immediately knelt down to thank her when she heard the words, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Lin Huaiyu, have you ever been married?"
When Emperor Qinglong asked this question, Lin Huaiyu's heart skipped a beat, this is the rhythm of giving a marriage.
"I have never been married." Although his adoptive father had told him that he might be given a marriage when he won the first prize in the examination, he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect that his adoptive father would actually be the one.
"Since you have never been married, I will give you a marriage."
Lin Huaiyu really wanted to refuse, but he didn't have the guts to refuse, so he could only accept Emperor Qinglong's kindness.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qinglong looked at the co-organizer who was the first minister standing on the right, "Fu Aiqing, I remember that your eldest daughter is about the same age as Lin Huaiyu."
Fu Xuezhi walked out of the queue, saluted Emperor Qinglong first, and then said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of this minister is as old as the number one scholar."
"I remember that your eldest daughter was never married either?"
"Never married."
"In this case, what do you think of Lin Huaiyu as your eldest son-in-law?"
"It's my daughter's honor." Fu Xuezhi had learned from his elder sister, the Empress Empress, that the emperor would marry his eldest daughter, Fu Shiyu, to Xinke Zhuangyuan Lang.Now, hearing Emperor Qinglong say that, he didn't have any surprises in his heart.
"Since that's the case, Lin Huaiyu, I marry you the eldest daughter of Master Fu's family, what do you think?"
"It's my honor, thank you Lord Long En."
When Emperor Qinglong called Fu Xuezhi out just now, Lin Huaiyu dug up the memories of the two girls from the Fu family he had met.Although he had forgotten about this matter a long time ago, Lin Huaiyu had a good memory, and he quickly found the information about Fu Xuezhi's eldest daughter.He guessed that it should be the girl named Fu Shiyu.
Although they met twice at that time, Fu Shiyu gave Lin Huaiyu the impression of being calm, while Fu Shiyun was a little lively.Lin Huaiyu rejoiced in her heart that she was the eldest daughter, not the second daughter.He doesn't like girls who are blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Emperor Qinglong's gift of marriage surprised the ministers present.They didn't expect that Emperor Qinglong would marry Fu Xuezhi's eldest daughter to Lin Ruhai's son, which made them think too much.
The Fu family is the mother's family of the empress and the ancestral family of the present prince.The emperor asked Lin Ruhai's son to marry the eldest daughter of the Fu family. Isn't this creating momentum for the prince?
After giving the marriage, Emperor Qinglong asked Lin Huaiyu and the others to retire.
Next, Lin Huaiyu and the others want to praise officials in the imperial street. This is the most glorious moment in their lives.
Lin Huaiyu and the others rode tall red horses under the envious eyes of a group of Jinshi.Lin Huaiyu rode in front, followed by Bang No. [-] and Tan Hua on horseback, and the others followed on foot.
In front of Lin Huaiyu and the others, there were guards holding flags and signs and walking ahead to clear the way.The words "Liuyuan and Dilin Huaiyu" were written on the banners they held.There are also servants playing and playing, with gongs, drums and firecrackers all the way.
When Lin Huaiyu and the others walked to the main road in the capital, there were people standing on both sides.
Every time the imperial street praises officials, the common people in the capital will come to watch.On this day, the daughters and ladies who usually don't go out will also go out to see the champion.
When seeing Zhuangyuan Lang, the common people cheered.This year's No. [-] scholar looks so good-looking, which makes the enthusiasm of the people in the capital even higher.
The common people were still shouting loudly: "Zhuangyuan Lang!"
"Oh, why is this year's No. [-] Scholar so handsome?"
"The number one scholar is so young."
"What does six yuan and the first mean?"
"Six Yuan and No. [-] is the No. [-] scholar since the county examination."
"This is our first six-yuan and No. [-] champion in Daqing."
"Heaven is a genius."
"I heard that the number one scholar is only 16 years old."
"At the age of 16, he won six yuan and won the first prize. The number one scholar will definitely be extraordinary in the future."
"I don't know if the number one scholar is married."
"Zhuangyuan Lang is so handsome and young, there must be many people robbing him to be his son-in-law."
"The number one scholar is approaching!"
As Lin Huaiyu approached, people on both sides of the street looked at him more fervently, and the cheers became louder and louder.
Don't know it is
