Chapter 201: Catching the Son-in-law (Part 1)

An official from the Ministry of Rites spoke: "Dear students and fellow villagers, this year's new provincial government is well deserved, and there is also a legendary story in between."

Originally, the scholar was tortured by the two yamen runners to death. When he heard that he was full of energy, he asked, "Can you tell me what kind of legendary story it is?"

The Minister of Rites from the Ministry of Rites said: "Wait a moment, wait until the list is posted, and I will tell you again."

Zhao Zhen was happy, and also thought that Zhang Desire was embarrassed. Old Zhang Sheng was wronged. I knew in my heart in the future and could make compensation. But the young emperor was also afraid that the students would question him. There were too many things. If the incident of Zhengzhou students questioning happening again, it would be unfair. And this was not like Zhengzhou's answer test, but it was only a place, with a big gap. When it came to the provincial test, he could see several test papers. As long as it was the top ten test papers, it was difficult to tell a clear level. He discussed it with Li Di, Lu Yijian and others and made this arrangement.

Since this official waiter said that he had posted the list before he posted it, then wait until the list is posted, and all the students are shouting again: "My brother, please reveal it quickly."

The two yamen runners pushed the list up, but stopped halfway and could not see their names. They were almost angry that they were dying of anger. Even Zheng Lang was so angry that he was so angry that he had no rotten eggs in his hand, otherwise he would be copied and smashed on the two yamen runners.

But every yamen runner plays like this, which makes you feel good!

When the palace examination is about to be released, especially the higher the ranking, the slower the speed will be.

After all the students protested at least fifty times, the two yamen runners finally pushed the list out.

The words on the list are already big, but when the price of the yuan is even bigger, you can see them from afar.

Zheng Lang has a calm personality and his psychological quality can be said to be the best among these endless candidates, but when he saw these two big words, his head was a little dizzy.

The Cui brothers jumped up all of a sudden.

Save the yuan, this is the second yuan! My brother-in-law lost his room and asked: "Dalang, will there be a third yuan?"

The possibility is infinitely magnified. When the palace examination was held, it was the little emperor who made the decision. With the relationship between the little emperor and his brother-in-law, he held the three yuan with his hand and found it. Three yuan and the simple top scorer are two different things. Look at Wang Zeng, Sun He did not die early, and his future is also promising, and the Song Dynasty can also know the favor of the court.

For this result, most candidates can accept it. If the Zheng family does not win the RMB, who is qualified to win the RMB? But there are also a very small number of candidates who suspect it. It is a provincial examination, not a palace examination. When His Majesty sees the name, this person is good, and the top scholar is him. The examiner of the provincial examination cannot see the name, and even the calligraphy of the Zheng family is good at it. Although there are differences in good or bad articles, when it comes to the front, what is the real difference? Could it be that the Zheng family uses words to spell out a flower?

The Wailang, the official of the Ministry of Personnel, spoke again: "This provincial general manager is the most bizarre one."

The scholar near him was waiting for him to say something. When he heard the silence, the Yuanwailang said again: "Originally, several examiners wanted to suppress the Yuan Dynasty in order to make a name for themselves, but by chance."

Keep shaking his head.

But he has aroused all the testimonies, and it is difficult to suppress them if they want to suppress them. If they can’t see the name or the words, how can they suppress them? If they can suppress them, they can win them over. This means that the officials of the court will continue to cheat in the future imperial examinations. Suppression will also be improper!

Some of the students asked directly.

"It's not difficult. Since the Emperor Shengyuan interprets the Confucianism, the meaning of the Book of the Book of the Book is completely ignored. The Emperor Shengyuan likes to use ancient prose style and writes ten paragraphs. The second is. The Emperor Shengyuan has become famous since childhood and has excellent writing style. The third is. The Emperor Shengyuan is determined to correct the Confucianism, and his words must be sharp, and the fourth is."

This makes sense, and you will no longer question. If you choose these four points, how many papers can you leave? But why did the Zheng family even graduated from high school and look at the official with eager eyes and listen to his explanation.

Let’s continue: “Several examiners selected nine test papers, and only one of them entered the top ten, but they were not among the top three, and the other eight test papers were all outside the top ten.”

I didn't say the fourth place, but I was not among the top three, and I was suppressed, but some of them asked curiously: "Then the final result..."

"So someone said it was a legend. The examiners in the first three points guessed all the test papers, but the examiners were wrong. Shengyuan only promoted the righteousness of the saints, but he was a kind and gentle person. Unfortunately, the examiners rarely interacted with him. So they guessed all nine papers wrong. After annotating these nine papers, they looked at other papers. After looking at them, they still praised the test papers for the test papers. Finally, they ordered Shengyuan, but it was not their original intention."

The official spoke very seriously. The listener thought about it and then thought about the appearance of several examiners after seeing the results yesterday. They suddenly laughed and asked boldly: "So what expression did Mr. Zhang look like after the results were released yesterday?"

"It's not just Mr. Zhang, but the examiners were stunned."

There was another burst of hilariousness. Some of the candidates were lucky enough to win. They were happy. Seeing that several officials from the Ministry of Personnel were easy to talk, they became bolder and said, "Can we take a look at the provincial government papers so that we can observe them?"

Several officials from the Ministry of Rites discussed in a low voice that the papers were to be archived, but they had not been submitted yet. At this time, they were in the tribute court, which was not beyond the limit. So an official entered the tribute court, took out two test papers, and said, "There are not only the provincial test papers, but also the Yayuan test papers. The Yayuan test papers are also well written, but unfortunately Hong Zheng was not in time and one was slightly miserable."

But unlike in Zhengzhou, Gao Zhizhou had prepared it early, he said to the yamen runners: "Press these two papers first, don't break them, and you will have to re-archive them later."

"Here."

In fact, Huang Xiang did a good job in this test. Later, Chengwen was widely spread, and even the Khitans valued his articles. Unfortunately, Huang Tingjian's uncle was not long-lived. After the palace examination, he served as the historian of Kyoto. Soon after he fell ill, he died of death in his hometown. Not only him, the new top scholar in history was not a long-lived person. Zhang Tangqing died of illness at a young age.

But compared to Zheng Lang who was prepared early, the yellow papers were deficient in Hongzheng, and there was no need to miss the name system at this time, and the real papers were posted. The two people had a lot of different characters. The characters and texts were matched, and the students rushed to watch them. The yamen runners nervously guarded them, not only watching the papers to prevent some students from exposing them, but also watching the crowd. There are so many people, not only the candidates, but also the common people, who squeezed over and squeezed over. If they don’t look at them, they would trampling incidents at any time.

"Good words, good articles." After reading it, I was convinced. Some read the words, some read the articles, and some read both. If it weren't for the yamen runners' eyeing them, they would really let the disciples take away Zheng Lang's paper. Even because the articles in the yellow papers were also written in clusters, it would be guaranteed that they would not be posted for long and would be removed again.

Another official from the Ministry of Rites said: "It's a good article and a good word. Unfortunately, the five examiners of Master Zhang must have looked very ugly when they were at home."

All the students burst into laughter again.

It’s not about being a humble person, having fun, increasing joy, and resolving all the students’ doubts, why not do it? This is not funny. Later, the old prime minister Shi Zhongli was called funny.

...

Zheng Lang returned to the temple in a daze.

You can't say you're groggy, but you're at a loss. You don't know how you walked back all the way.

The two little girls looked at each other, and Wang Xiaosan said, "It's not bad, Shengyuan finally looks like a normal person."

Sima Guang's forehead was on his head.

The little master's calmness made the second little master speechless. Only this time can he feel the same as an ordinary person. If he wins the Guanyuan and looks calm, it will make them very suspicious that the little master is not a human!

The main reason is that the surprise was too great. I knew that the meeting was over. Yesterday, Lu Yijian made a show of goodwill and knew that his ranking would not be low, but I didn’t expect that the meeting would be over. It was not Jie Yuan, but this was the province Yuan. How many students are there in the country and how many students are there?

Cui Jia Erlang was even worse, and kept giggling and returned to the temple with Zheng Lang.

Jiang Xing'er, Si'er and the three maids of the second little boy came out. When they saw that the expression was wrong, the two brothers were giggling foolishly, but Zheng Lang was blind. What would happen? Jiang Xing'er asked worriedly: "Zheng Lang, how many names have he won?"

Zheng Lang did not answer, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi shouted: "Sales the Yuan Dynasty."

"Save, Yuan?"

"First place."

After hearing this, Xing'er and Si'er's body also softened and fell to Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang didn't pay attention. If the two young men had not been holding them quickly, the three of them would have fallen to the ground. But when the two maids made a fuss, Zheng Lang gradually woke up and thought to himself, what's wrong with him? Isn't it just a provincial capital? Why did he lose his attitude?

What this said...

You should calm down and say to Xing'er: "Get the piano."

"Here."

The two brothers were still giggling, and Zheng Lang started playing the piano and played the quiet and quiet song "Flower on the Stone", quietly, but his mood was often erratic, and as he played it, it turned into a cheerful "Liangxiao Yin". I felt that I was lost, and said in my heart, ***, so what should I play, I play? The tragic and intense "Guangling San" was born from the heart. Can he play "Guangling San" well at this time? The tragic and intense meaning of "Guangling San" made him play it in a mess and lingering way, and the spring scenery was pleasant.

Zheng Lang put down the piano in a funny way, knowing that he couldn't play the piano well today. However, he finally calmed down. He stood up and looked at his two brothers who were still smirking, and said, "Don't laugh anymore, preventing the extreme joy from causing sorrow."

After taking pictures several times, I woke them up, and said, "Since you have passed the exam, I will prepare for the palace examination. I will move back to the inn today to guide you in poetry and essays."

"Uh." The two brothers woke up when they heard the palace examination and sat upright and straightened their backs. But they won the provincial examination and were not over yet. There was a difficult situation behind them. It didn't matter if my brother-in-law was fine. I might not be able to get through it. God knows that one hundred or two hundred people will eventually be interpreted, and both of them are also very dangerous.

However, my brother-in-law said sincerely: "I thank you this time."

Without the guidance of my brother-in-law, I might not be able to win this time. As I was talking, the yamen runner who announced the good news came to the door, and the scale was not very grand. I informed me to go to the palace examination to announce the good news, which was the final announcement.

He gave the reward and sent the yamen runner away.

The little novice monk in the temple watched the two little girls set off firecrackers, and was amused and crying. My place is one of the most famous pure temples in the capital. What is it like now? But living in a Shengyuan Gong is not a vulgar, right? Unfortunately, Shengyuan Gong is going to be ready to move, but he can't see the process of Shengyuan Gong becoming the top scholar.

The eldest brother then said seriously: "Brother-in-law, please report a letter to the family."

It’s not called Dalang anymore. After winning the provincial examination, it’s still a provincial government. The two families should prepare to discuss the marriage according to the agreement. This title can be changed legitimately.

"Okay." Zheng Lang said. He thought it was too early to get married, but he would give the empresses a good news first to avoid them worrying at home. If it weren't for the fact that someone was talking about gossip, the empresses would almost stay in the capital and didn't want to go back. He turned around and said to Uncle Song: "Uncle Song, I'll have to bother you."

Song Bo said: "Okay."

He was worse than the two brothers from the Cui family. He grinned and laughed until now, and suddenly cried.

"Uncle Song, why are you crying?"

"Zheng Dalang is not in the world, otherwise he would be so happy to see it."

Zheng Lang didn't care about that deceased father, but Song Bo's loyalty was indeed commendable. He said, "Well, I still have to prepare for the palace examination. I can't go back immediately. Please accompany me and a few empresses to pay tribute to my father."

"Here."

Good news, Song Bo rode clumsyly on Xiaoqing and rode directly to Zhengzhou, and asked to notify the mistresses as soon as possible. Seeing his horse riding, Zheng Lang said worriedly: "Brother Song, slow down, don't be anxious to prevent falling on the road."

"Xiaolang, I understand."

He started to pack his luggage. The two young men and their own, and for the sake of the two young men, the five young men, two guards, and a farmer, had thicker clothes for the winter and had a lot of luggage. Several of them were busy. Before he left, the two little yellow gates walked in and said, "Zheng Shengyuan, and the two men from the Cui family, your Majesty summoned him."

"Your Majesty summoned me?" Zheng Lang looked at the little yellow gate suspiciously and summoned him some of them, why did he summon two brothers? After he asked the two brothers, he asked in confusion: "Why did Your Majesty summon us?"

"I don't know, you are here with me."

The three of them were a little confused, but they were not taken to the palace, but to the Secretariat. Even the little emperor, not everyone could enter the palace.

In addition to Zhao Zhen, there were several prime ministers. Lu Yijian persuaded him, Zheng Lang persuaded him, and several other prime ministers also advised him, but Zhao Zhen just refused to listen. What Zheng Lang said made him feel more crisis, so he was even more self-defeating. These days, he either stayed in the palace to handle memorials, or went to the two governments to discuss government affairs with several prime ministers. As for the later attacks by Zhichen, there were some, young people, who would not be able to do this? But it was not as serious as Zhichen said.

Zheng Lang calmed down at this time and greeted calmly, but his two brothers were very nervous. However, seeing Zheng Lang's calm attitude, he relaxed a little, and lost some of his attitude, not serious. Zhao Zhen said: "You guys sit down."

Zheng Lang sat down with his two brothers.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Cui Quanshu, Cui Quanzhong, I heard that you have all participated in the provincial examinations several times?"

My brother-in-law replied in panic: "Yes, I have taken the exam several times, and my third brother only took the exam once in the eighth year of Tiansheng."

"Why are you all the ones coming to the list this time?" Yesterday Zhang Dexiang also expressed this doubt. Then he said, "Your Majesty, people's words are terrifying, and you can't win all three of them. At least one of them is deleted. Zhang Dexiang himself does not have this right. After saying it, he hopes that Zhao Zhen will be the leader, no matter how big and Sanlang he is. As long as he interprets one of them, there will be less rumors outside.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said unhappily: "This is the rule of ancestors, how to change it?"

It is not cheating, nor is it a taboo. At this time, the controversy is a matter of controversy. If one person is convinced, the examiner will use this as a proof in the future and randomly change the admitted list. It is not a good thing. It is not accurate. But he is also suspicious in his heart. At first, the two of them all got all the tricks. After discussing the affairs with several prime ministers, they asked.

Lu Yijian said: "It is probably related to Zheng Shengyuan."

He was happy to see it. He looked at it and found that under the guidance of the Zheng family, all the two stones were in high school and the provincial examination was not an exaggeration to put his son in Zheng Lang to study all day long.

Zhao Zhen asked carefully: "Or call the three of them and ask?"
