Chen Xi was going to take the entrance examination for the Imperial College, and Su Tong insisted on sending the examination because he had not visited the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty.↑,.

In Su Tong's words, if you don't have the chance to study in the Imperial College in this life, you can always go in and see, or you can be an official here in the future.

The Imperial College of the capital is located in Andingmen. It was built in the tenth year of Dade in the Yuan Dynasty. It is adjacent to the Confucius Temple and Yonghe Palace. It has left and right temples. Chen Xi visited the Imperial College in Beijing in his previous life. After several dynasties, the buildings inside it have increased, but it basically maintained the layout during the overhaul during the Zhengtong period.

The Imperial College faces north and south, enters from Jixian Gate, and is a well pavilion from east to west, with the Jijing Gate connected to the Confucius Temple. The central axis is Jixian Gate, Taixue Gate, Glazed Archway, Piyong, Yilun Hall, and Jingyi Pavilion. The main building has two halls and six halls, Imperial Monument Pavilion, bell and drum tower, etc., forming a traditional symmetrical pattern.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, Imperial College has been accustomed to planting locust trees, and the style of the Imperial College in the capital is "ancient locust trees, wisteria, and quadrangle courtyard". Among them, the most famous locust tree in the yard is the "Wenchang locust trees" planted in the Yuan Dynasty. According to legend, Emperor Wenchang was a god in charge of the examination. Candidates must first worship Emperor Wenchang when they enter the examination. This locust tree is also considered to be related to the literary fortune of candidates in the Imperial College, and has been worshipped by students throughout the ages.

In the Imperial College, there are four schools, law, and book, and seven schools.

In the Ming Dynasty, Imperial College was the highest institution of learning in the country. On weekdays, officers and soldiers guarded the gates, but this day was the day of the Imperial College entrance examination. The access control was loose, and even Su Tong, who was sent to the examination, was able to enter smoothly.

There were quite a few ordinary students who came to visit the Imperial College that day, especially those who went to Beijing to prepare for the exam. Their status was much higher than that of ordinary Imperial College students, but they regretted not being able to study in higher education institutions. For all students in the world, this Imperial College is a knot in their hearts.

As soon as he arrived at the title stele of the Jinshi, Su Tong looked at the names of the people on the title stele and couldn't move for a moment.

Although most of the people on the list are submerged in the long river of history, there are also many high-ranking ministers. Thinking about their heroic appearance when they first entered the list, the onlookers couldn't help but fascinate them.

At this time someone came over and said impatiently: "It's not a prison student. Let's go out before noon. This is not a place for ordinary students to stop."

Obviously, this person is also a newcomer. Because he is holding a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand, he obviously wants to take the entrance exam. This person regards Chen Xi as a candidate who is here to visit, because Chen Xi's face is childish and his clothes are extremely frugal, and he does not look like someone who can obtain the qualification of a student.

Chen Xi just glanced at the man, and Su Tong's face next to him was a little ashamed.

"I know what the exam needs to be tested today?" Before the new supervisor could show off his strength, someone he knew came to say hello, so he had no intention of paying attention to Chen Xi and Su Tong.

Chen Xidao: "Brother Su is not worried about it. A juren is always more realistic than a supervisor."

It has been explained before that the students of the Imperial College in the Ming Dynasty can be roughly divided into "recruiting the prison", "tribute supervisor" and "yin supervisor", plus the "regular supervisor" that began during the Jingtai period.

A supervisor is equivalent to a scholar, regardless of whether he has made a fame or not before. As long as he enters the supervisor, he can be qualified to participate in the provincial examination. Even if he drops in the Imperial College, he can still be appointed as an official.

The Ming Dynasty was the most vigorous official of Yan Song's son Yan Shifan. He did not come from the formal imperial examinations at all. He relied on his father's Yinjian, but in the end he became the Shaoqing of Shangbao, the Minister of Works, and was in power.

Because the imperial court has used troops to the northwest in recent years, the number of "regular supervision" in the Imperial College has increased. Among the more than 600 freshmen of the Imperial College this time, more than 100 are "regular supervision" and more than 100 are "regular supervision", and more than 100 are "regular supervision", which seems to be small. However, in a country's highest institution, a small half of the students are related households, which still has a great impact on the reputation of the country's highest institution.

In the early Ming Dynasty, many people hoped to be qualified for the provincial examination or to be appointed as officials by entering the north and south Yongshen, but in the Hongzhi period, the imperial examination returned to their journey. They took normal paths and went through the college examination, the provincial examination, and the imperial examination to become an ordinary scholar. As for entering prison, they became the patent of a few privileged people.

After walking around the Imperial College with Su Tong, Chen Xi was about to send Su Tong out when he happened to meet an acquaintance, Wu Shengyu, who participated in the same provincial examination as Chen Xi and Su Tong and won the Yayuan.

Wu Shengyu obviously did not expect to meet Chen Xi and Su Tong. Originally, the three of them were from Tingzhou Prefecture and should have gone together in Beijing. However, Chen Xi learned about Yuan, which made Wu Shengyu, who was highly regarded, lose face, so he didn't want to have any contact with Su and Chen at all. Even when he was in the capital, he could avoid as far as he could.

When Wu Shengyu saw the two, his face turned a little dark, and he was about to pretend that he couldn't see it and bowed his head, but Su Tong was an enthusiastic person after all, so he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello:

"Isn't this Mr. Wu? After a few months of separation in Fuzhou, I heard that Mr. Wu was preparing to marry a famous lady in the capital. I wonder if I could let him go and have a glass of water and wine?"

Wu Shengyu was seventeen years old after the New Year. Nowadays, it was not too early for a young man to get married at the age of seventeen. Wu Shengyu himself was a child of an official. He entered the Imperial Academy as the Fujian Provincial Examination Yayuan, so he could marry any kind of daughter. But he did not plan to invite classmates and friends at the wedding banquet, at least he would not invite Su Tong and Shen Xi.

Wu Shengyu was forced to be unable to meet, so he had to give a gift. After that, he said a little perfunctory: "I'm focused on studying. I'll ask for a gold medal in the spring exam this year. As for the marriage, I'll talk about it after the spring exam. If you have the chance, I'll invite you to come."

Su Tong smiled and said, "Then I'll say congratulations first."

Wu Shengyu looked bad and didn't even look at Chen Xi. He hurriedly entered the school building on the grounds that he wanted to take the school entrance exam. Su Tong shook his head: "It's a pity that I'm not Mr. Wu..."

The implication is that these noble ladies from famous families in the capital do not have the share of me.

Chen Xi sent Su Tong to the door and was about to say goodbye. A candidate with a baggage on his back, looking young and handsome, came over and saluted respectfully: "You two are polite, don't you know if this is the Imperial College?"

What Su Tong was most annoying was that the people here repeated over and over again that this was the Imperial College, after all, he was not the Imperial College himself. Su Tong: "What this official said was very interesting. This is not the Imperial College, was it the Confucius Temple?"

For some reason, Su Tong was so angry. He was stunned for a moment and politely said, "Student Yan Weizhong, thank you for your guidance!"

Since Su Tong and Shen Xi were not very polite to him and this person was also very cognitive, he went to the gate of the Imperial College after thanking him.

Chen Xi sent Su Tong two steps away, and silently recited the name "Yan Weizhong" in his heart. His steps stopped unknowingly. He looked back at the young man who was looking up at the gate of Imperial College, with a look of surprise on his face, and was covered in dust.

Yan Weizhong, whose real name is Yan Song, his pseudonym was Mian'an, Jiexi, and Fenyi, and Weizhong was his name. This man entered the county school at the age of nine and passed the county exam at the age of ten. He was known as a child prodigy. He was a scholar in the Jiangxi provincial examination in the 11th year of Hongzhi. He was a Jinshi in the Yichou year of Hongzhi. He became the Minister of Personnel. He was a Grand Secretary of Jinshen Hall, a Young Tutor and the Grand Secretary of the Crown Prince, Shao Shi, and a Grand Secretary of Huagai Hall. He was a powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty who had been in power for 20 years. He was called the "Prime Minister of Qingci".

When Chen Xi was ten years old, he was still Feng Huaqi talking about a prodigy in Yuanzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province who had passed the county test at the age of ten and wanted him to try it, but this test was out of control. As a result, Chen Xi, a "prodigy", came from behind and entered the Imperial Academy as Jie Yuan, a Fujian Provincial Examination.

At this time, Yan Song was already twenty years old and was traveling far away. He even had the word "大" and only...ah!

Thinking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh.

Su Tong looked at Chen Xi in surprise and asked, "Brother Shen, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Did you remember the name of that person just now?"

"It seems... Yan Weizhong? I have never heard of such a person. Brother Shen, why did you mention it? Oh, could you be a classmate with Brother Shen in the future?" Su Tong asked with a smile.

It is true that Yan Song is a juren, but Chen Xi was completely unaware of whether he came to Beijing to prepare for the exam or to take a look at the Imperial College or to be a student at the Imperial College.

Yan Song had no experience in the Imperial Academy in history. Of course, Chen Xi also fell to death when he was five years old when he was climbing a tree.

Chen Xi has been in this world for more than seven years. From his implementation of the method of vaccination to his participation in the imperial examination, he became famous all the time. The butterfly effect he produced has been amplifying the changes in the world at a geometric speed. It is still unknown how much impact it has on Yan Song.

Chen Xi sent Su Tong away, and wanted to go in and find Yan Weizhong, preparing to try his knowledge and cultivation.

Chen Xi’s idea is very simple. Even if my appearance is just a look of communication with you, it will have a great change in your future life. Now I will say a few words to you, and your life may be rewrite. At least Yan Shifan wants to stand out in a few hundred million chance, which is very small.

Unfortunately, Chen Xi walked in for a while but couldn't find Yan Weizhong's people.

"The exam is about to start, I won't go in yet, what are you waiting for?" A man who looked like a gentleman came out from afar and scolded the prison student who was still visiting and watching outside.

Chen Xi was calming down and was about to enter the examination room when a whispered laughter sounded: "It seems that you can't even find the door, but it's right to go north. Isn't this main gate of Guozixue a place where you can enter and exit casually?"

The name is a well-known Beijing accent, and more than a dozen young men gathered together to make fun of it, which shows that they were children of officials from the capital, who knew each other well and went to the Imperial College to enroll together.

Chen Xi didn't want to pay attention, but at this moment a voice came from the crowd: "Since I have come to the Imperial College for students, if I don't go through the main entrance, what else can I go through?"

Chen Xi didn't expect someone to support him. He turned around and saw that the person who supported him was Yan Weizhong who had asked him for directions before.

Yan Weizhong still carried a burden on his back. It seemed that after entering the capital, he didn't even find a place to stay, so he went to the Imperial College to study directly.

Compared with the newly enrolled students in Beijing, Yan Weizhong is already nineteen years old this year, two or three years older than them. But Yan Weizhong may have a "baby face" and looks only fifteen or sixteen years old. He looks a little childish, and looks just two or three years older than Chen Xi. (To be continued.)
