Chuanlu is the exciting roll call in the Golden Palace.
It is said that the ranking of the Jinshi can only be known on the day of the passing of the Jinshi in the Golden Palace, but in fact the day before, the officials will summon the top ten in the imperial examination at the Jiying Hall, commonly known as the "Xiao Chuanlu". The purpose is to observe the upcoming three tripods.
A's demeanor can prevent unexpected situations from happening... For example, if a certain man is a person with a vulgar appearance, or suffers from severe rickets, or other unsightly disabilities, then even if he is better than Li Du, he will have to lag behind.
.
Because the purpose of the imperial examination is to select officials who will manage the people on behalf of the court, Sandingjia represents the face of the court, and at least it cannot be embarrassing in terms of image.
The day before the small test, the Ministry of Rites sent personnel to notify the top ten candidates and told them what they should prepare for. In addition to the corresponding clothing, they also needed to find an official from the same town who would accompany them to the palace the next day.
The Chen family got a reward, and the whole family was naturally overjoyed, but Chen Ke couldn't believe it. He felt that he was lucky to be in the second class, and now he was in the top ten. Could it be that God is blind?
"What did I say?" Chen Xiliang's face shone brightly. He patted Chen Ke's shoulder vigorously and said loudly, "You can definitely do it! How can you not do it? It doesn't matter whose son it is..."
…”
So he and Mr. Cao began to prepare nervously. The clothes and accessories they wore when entering the palace the next day were still the same white shirt. The accessories were mainly purses and loyalty and filial piety belts. This is an official custom that has been passed down for thousands of years since the Han Dynasty. As for the fellow countrymen
Officials, I won’t bother others. Chen Xiliang went to the battle himself.
Early the next morning, the father and son arrived outside Donghua Gate. After a while, Zhang Heng, Dou Bian, Su Shi, Lu Huiqing and others also arrived. Everyone seemed to be in a dream. After greeting each other, they waited quietly.
When summoned...the more proud they are in life, the more careful they are to avoid giving the impression of being arrogant and arrogant.
After everyone had arrived, the officials of the Ministry of Rites went to the Zhilu outside Donghua Gate to teach them the court etiquette when meeting officials. In fact, there were already instructions in this regard before the palace examination, but on the one hand there were too many people, and on the other hand, there were too many people.
On the one hand, the effect of teaching them once was gone. Therefore, during the palace examination, the tributes behaved in a disorganized and ugly manner, which made the officials responsible for teaching them feel like a thorn in their backs.
So now, seize the time before the audience, and let them sharpen their weapons before the battle. Take an empty chair and pretend to be the emperor, teach them to salute respectfully, and correct their movements one by one...
After teaching them a set of movements several times, the official responsible for guiding them asked strangely: "Why haven't you been summoned yet?" Looking at the sky, it was supposed that Xiao Chuanlu should have finished by this time.
I had no choice but to continue the drill... It was almost at Chen time when the eunuchs came out and led them into the Donghua Gate and waited at the west steps in front of the Jiying Hall. The officials had also taken the sedan chair from the Chui Gong Hall to the Jiying Hall to be promoted.
There are... there are many halls in the palace. Each hall has its own special purpose. The emperor's daily task is to move between several halls. The main court is held in Daqing Hall. Foreign guests are received in Zichen Hall, and court officials and foreign ministers are received.
In Chuigong Hall, Jiying Hall is specially used to receive imperial examination candidates.
Compared with the grand procession on grand occasions, the whole process of the small procession was extremely quiet. There were no ceremonial guards, no music played, and no one's name was called loudly.
Before the audience, the names of the top ten Jinshi had been written on the green-headed sticks. The officials of the Ministry of Rites held the green-headed sticks, bowed and walked to the official throne, and presented them to the emperor. Then according to the official's roll call,
The Jinshi who were named were summoned one by one to come to see them. The introduction was very short. They only needed to let the officials take a look at their appearance and answer a few short questions, such as their place of origin, age, etc., and they would receive warm words and encouragement from the officials.
, and was given a jade belt, which also signaled the end of the audience. After the previous one withdrew, the official called the next one, and the whole process would not last more than half an hour.
The officials took the green tickets with their names written on them to finally confirm who came out on top among the ten people, as well as the rankings of the next nine people. If there are no surprises in the introduction, the rankings will still be based on the results of the evaluation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chen Ke was waiting outside the Jiying Hall, watching nine people of the same age come in and out, and said to himself, it seems that I am probably the tenth, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and then he secretly cursed himself for being too greedy... Being in the top ten is already an invitation. Fortunately, do you still want to win the top prize?
When the ninth Zeng Gong came out, the official of the Ministry of Rites finally called Chen Ke's name. After sending him in, the official came out again and said to the other nine: "Let's go."
"There is still one who hasn't come out yet..." Su Shi whispered.
"Have you forgotten? Don't make any noise." The official of the Ministry of Rites glared at him sternly and whispered: "This is the official's wish. There is no need to wait for him."
What did Chen Ke do when he was left alone? Everyone couldn't help but wonder, could he be the real number one?
They don't know where they are among the top ten until the gold list is announced.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites led the Jinshi away. In Jiying Hall, Chen Ke was saluting the officials.
"What's your name?" I saw the official playing with a green lottery, which was probably the one with his name written on it, without raising his head.
Chen Kexin said this is not nonsense? Even if you have forgetfulness, don't you still recognize me? But you still have to answer honestly: "The student's name is Chen Ke, his ear is familiar with Chen, and his heart is different."
"Chen Ke, do you know where you got on the exam?"
"have no idea."
"Want to know?"
"think."
"The number one scholar."
"Ah..." Chen Ke's heart skipped a beat. Who said I don't care? I just say I don't care...
"Don't believe it?"
"Well, to report back to the officials, the court has a rule that officials cannot win the first prize."
"So I got you second place." Zhao Zhen slowly raised his head and said jokingly: "Are you happy?"
"Don't be too happy too early." Unexpectedly, the official just wanted to make him happy and said, "It is possible to miss the top spot on the gold list."
Chen Ke's hair stood on end as he thought of the ruthless side of this eternal benevolent man... The great talent Liu Sanbian was blocked from becoming a scholar by officials just because of a complaint he made after landing, ruining his life. He He quickly smiled and said: "Didn't you say that I won't be deposed as a bachelor?" After all, you are also my uncle, and you can still be so heartless.
"Yes, but there are always exceptions to everything." Zhao Zhen also smiled and said: "I remember that there is a clear text in the imperial examination regulations. Those who break the law during the imperial examination, or are found to have broken the law, will not only be undesirable, but will also be brought to justice."
"..." Chen Ke swallowed and spat: "Weichen is innocent."
"Innocent?" Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "You are quite thick-skinned. How many illegal things have you done? Do you want someone to read them out one by one?"
"Weichen, you are indeed innocent." Chen Kexin said, "Come on, are you trying to trick me?"
"Not only is he thick-skinned, he is also tough-talking." Zhao Zhen looked at the nonsense and said, "Read it to him."
"Here." Hu Yandui opened the small book in his hand and read aloud: "In March of the fifth year of Qingli, in Hengwan Village, Qingshen County, Meizhou, he stabbed his eldest aunt Hou Shi with a weapon. She was ten years old at the time. …”
When he heard this date, Chen Ke was about to vomit blood. What happened ten years ago was actually revealed. The emperor really dug himself into his bones.
"In the fourth year of Huangyou's reign, together with Song Duanping and others, they attacked the imperial army, broke into the palace at night, kidnapped the princess, and held the prince hostage..."
Chen Ke immediately broke out in white hair and prayed crazily in his heart: 'Good boy Longdi Dong, please don't find out why I abducted old man Yu Jing...'
Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, the next article jumped directly to last year: "In May of the first year of Jiayou, after the Wuyou Cave was annihilated, the clan members Zhao Zongchu, Zhao Zonghan and others aroused crazy revenge, and were suspected of embezzling more than 100,000 yuan of stolen money.
"
"In February of the second year of Jiayou's reign, he framed the clan member Zhao Zonghui with a fake dragon robe."
By the time Manager Hu finished reading, Chen Ke was already sweating profusely. This was definitely not an act... He originally thought that the emperor knew all about the things he had done flawlessly and said coldly: "Which crime?
It can make you irrecoverable!"
The second place in the Jinshi list is all in vain. The only one who can save his life is Amitabha.
'The officialdom is too dark, the emperor is too insidious, I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore...' Just when his soul came out of his body, he heard Zhao Zhen say coldly: "Chen Ke, do you know your guilt?"
"Weichen, Weichen is wronged..." Chen Ke wiped off the sweat on his face and shouted loudly: "This information is seriously distorted, one-sided, and does not conform to the actual situation!"
"Tell me, why is it one-sided?" the official said in a deep voice.
"I stabbed my aunt when I was a child, but she beat my two younger brothers first. I thought they were beaten to death by her, so I got carried away and stabbed him with her gold hairpin." Chen Ke
He quickly defended.
"As expected of a talented man." Zhao Zhen looked at Hu Yandui and said with a smile, "Change the stab into a poke, and the severity will be reduced immediately."
"Yeah." Hu Yandui nodded and agreed, "I'm really knowledgeable."
"You continue." Zhao Zhen motioned to Chen Ke.
"As for that time in Huangyou's fourth year, Wei Chen's father was framed for investigating the Lingnan Civil and Military Corruption Case. He was imprisoned and his life was on the line." Chen Ke said: "I risked my life to go to the then Yu Wenshuai to report the news, but was arrested.
He detained me. Because I was worried about my father's safety, and even more worried about the overall situation of suppressing the rebellion, I took a desperate risk and escaped from the Yamen where he put me under house arrest. Who would have thought that the father and daughter of the Beihai County Prince actually lived next door, so I accidentally bumped into the county.
Lord, but he had absolutely no intention of hurting her. Later, in order to protect his sister, the young prince agreed to use his body as a hostage and send me out of the city to find Mr. Ouyang at Ding You's home. Looking at our subsequent relationship, the officials knew that there was absolutely no violence and violence at the beginning.
Injury occurs…”
"What about the stolen money from Wuyou Cave?"
"This is pure speculation." Chen Ke said excitedly: "Wei Chen killed their big leader, so they naturally pointed their suspicion at me. But this matter, Kaifeng Prefect Bao Longtu has already strictly investigated
After that, if something happens, with his selfless character, how can he allow me to take part in the imperial examination?"
Today I have a stiff neck, poor blood supply to my brain, and my writing speed is extremely slow. But there are still two more updates, because I am an honest and reliable man!! Please give me your monthly vote!!!
