Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 618 Congratulations Yang, your son has been selected!

The servant of the Ministry of Rites was just asking a question as a matter of routine, but he never thought that His Majesty the Taihuang not only asked the question in person, but also asked the question himself!

"Your Majesty, wait a moment..."

Not long after, the Minister of Rites brought over a book of Analects and handed it to Lao Zhu respectfully.

Lao Zhu took the Analects of Confucius and flipped through it casually, delineating a few test questions on it.

"Just test these few!"

The servant of the Ministry of Rites took the book respectfully after hearing the words, but he didn't open it. Instead, he ordered someone to seal it in a brocade box, and wait until the day of the exam before unpacking and printing it.

"Your Majesty is able to come up with the question in person. This is the blessing of the children of the people in the whole capital. When they learn about this matter, they will definitely feel grateful for the grace of the emperor and work more faithfully for the court!"

"You go down!"

"promise!"

Lao Zhu dismissed the Minister of Rites, and stood alone in front of the window looking at the full moon in the sky.

If you give us tenderness for one night, it will be worth it if we give your son wealth and honor for the rest of his life, right?

Although Lao Zhu thought that he had settled his concerns and owed nothing to Yang Shi, when he dreamed back in the middle of the night, he was still a little disappointed.

This feeling of being admired, loved, and liked by a strange woman is so good, it makes him seem 20 years younger!

The Royal University's admissions exam was half a month earlier than the Longevity Day, so all the feudal princes and their families entered Beijing a month earlier, just to get their children a good score in the exam.

They are not worried about not being able to pass the exam. After all, the Royal University is run by the royal family, so if you don't recruit anyone, you can't help recruiting them.

Moreover, it is a rigid rule of the Clan Mansion that members of the royal family must enter Beijing to study at the Royal University when they reach the age of eight.

What can I do if I can't learn?

easy to do!

Royal University has preschool classes and one-on-one tutoring to ensure that you can keep up.

However, after several years of running a school, the Royal University has long since broken away from the low-level mandatory enrollment, and has become the premier gold-medal institution in the capital.

Students who graduate from here can directly enter the six departments for internship without passing the imperial examination, and do not occupy the quota of Enyin.

Of course, if you want to achieve this achievement, you must first graduate with a very good grade.

The Royal University adopts strict entry and strict exit. If you fail the exam, even if you are a child of the royal family, you will only be given a graduation certificate to prove that you have studied here.

Therefore, as long as one can graduate normally from the Imperial University, whether it is entering the Six Departments of the imperial court or the military, they are all popular and sought-after meat and potatoes.

Because the students who come out of here not only have outstanding talents, but also have network resources unmatched by other university students.

Imagine that all the people studying here are the princes and grandchildren, as well as the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty and the children of high officials. If you recruit a small group, it will be a force that can affect the future structure of Ming Dynasty.

Based on the above, the princes of the feudal lords are no longer so resistant to sending their children to study in Beijing, and even regard this matter as a comparison.

Your child's entrance examination is 99, and my child's entrance examination is [-].

And Lao Zhu also came out to join in the fun, and he rewarded all the children of the royal family who scored well in the exams.

Not only will he directly reward the children of the royal family, but he will even confer the title of concubine to his mother and the title of king to his father.

Because of such huge benefits, all the feudal lords put all their efforts into hiring famous teachers to teach their children as soon as they learn to speak. Make sure they win at the starting line and earn enough face for themselves in the Royal University Entrance Examination in the future!

The imperial university admissions examination is very formal, and the whole process is based on the imperial examination system of Ming Dynasty.

A gun salute is fired to open the dragon gate, and candidates must be searched when they enter the venue.

You can't take a few words with you, and you can make all arrangements for eating, drinking and Lazard.

When the dragon gate was officially opened, no matter whether it was the princes and grandchildren or ordinary people, they had to line up to enter.

The only difference is that the royal family uses a special channel to enter the arena, but the random inspection process is the same as the others.

Zhu Jixi sent his younger brother into the arena, and comforted him softly before entering the arena.

"Ji Ying, don't be nervous. My brother tested your knowledge yesterday. As long as you answer all the knowledge about Gewu correctly, you will be guaranteed [-] points. For the remaining four questions, as long as you are too good or too good, at least Can hit another [-] points."

"With a base of [-] points, no matter who we are compared with, we are not shabby!"

Zhu Jixuan nodded obediently when he heard the words.

"Brother, don't worry, younger brother will definitely answer well, and win honor for our Jin Palace, for the father, and for the mother and concubine!"

Zhu Jixi's expression darkened when he heard "Father King", and now he feels like a child without a father.

My father thinks about health preservation and immortal cultivation all day long, not to mention not caring about things inside and outside the palace, even the three guards and horses are thrown to him to manage for him...

Now that the third brother is taking the exam, the father didn't even show up, so Zhu Jixuan's resentment towards him continues +999...

Similar to what happened to Zhu Jixi, Zhu Shangbing, who was in the lineage of the King of Qin, also shouldered the responsibility of being the head of the family early on.

Although King Qin has returned to Daming now, he has been staying in the capital and not returning to his fiefdom, and his mind is full of begging the court to give their two princes titles.

But the Ministry of Officials has been stuck on this matter because of the improper etiquette system. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi let go, the Ministry of Officials just disagreed.

A discerning person can see that someone is backing up the official department, otherwise the official department would not dare to interfere in the affairs of the royal family with a hundred courage.

Therefore, Zhu Yu spent time with the official department, and went to the official department to check in on time every day. While asking for the prince's reward for himself, he also asked for titles for dozens of cheap sons.

Anyway, he helped Daming win the territory, and Daming must give him an explanation!

Zhu Shangbing comforted his younger brother just like Zhu Jixuan. What was better than Zhu Jixuan was that he had a reliable mother and concubine.

Wang Shi, sister of Wang Baobao, king of Qi in the Great Yuan Dynasty, also known as Guanyin slave.

The Wang family has always been out of favor, and only after King Qin committed a crime, the court dealt with the second concubine Deng's family, and then released her from the cold palace of the Prince's Mansion.

The Wang family regained their freedom to support their eldest son, Zhu Shangbing, and took the initiative to contact relatives to make contacts for Zhu Shangbing, seeking for Zhu Shangbing to succeed to the throne smoothly.

Thanks to Wang's efforts, Zhu Shangbing not only successfully inherited the title of King Qin, but also married Chang Mao's daughter, and became in-laws with the Chang family.

Therefore, Zhu Shangbing treated his nominal mother and concubine with great respect. After exhorting his younger brother Zhu Shanglie, he pushed him to the Wang family.

"Mother concubine!"

"My brother is about to enter the examination room, so please teach him a lesson."

Wang Shi smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Zhu Shanglie, our lineage of King Qin is different from other clans. Your father has a violent temper and offended His Majesty the Taihuang and His Majesty today. We of King Qin's lineage can only endure things and don't try to show off."

"You only need to answer the exam with your heart. We don't ask for merit, but for no fault."

Zhu Shanglie bowed and saluted upon hearing the words.

"Son, thank you for your teaching!"

When Mrs. Wang was teaching his own children, Lao Zhu was watching from the Zhuangyuan building opposite the Gongyuan, watching the students flying from the capital, and at the same time observing the descendants of Lao Zhu's family.

"That's Mrs. Wang?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Deshun hurriedly replied.

"Your Highness has good eyesight. The person over there is indeed Mrs. Wang. It seems that Mrs. Wang is giving a lecture to Zhu Shanglie's grandson!"

Old Zhu nodded upon hearing this.

"He is a conscientious and good boy, but that bastard King Qin spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and locked the Wang family in the cold palace of the palace..."

"Speak to Concubine Guo Hui in a while, let her find a reason to reward this child with something!"

"The emperor is merciful!"

Lao Zhu looked at his sons again, and saw that they were full of energy and full of fighting spirit, so he felt relieved.

The imperial university admissions exam is good in everything, but the ranking is not good. Once the descendants of the Zhu family fall behind, wouldn't it make the world laugh at them?

It seems that more rewards have to be added!

For example, how much is the top ten rewards, how much is the top fifty rewards, and so on.

Lao Zhu never thought of cheating. Firstly, he couldn't afford to lose that person, and secondly, it was unnecessary.

After all, their royal family is just going through the motions, and it doesn't matter whether they are ranked high or not.

After seeing his son Lang, Lao Zhu set his sights on the long line of common people.

Compared with the Zhu family's descendants who are all eight to ten years old, the true face of the common people can be seen at any age.

The oldest one has a beard, at least he must be 30 years old!

Even if this kind of person is admitted, it is impossible for the Royal University to ask for it.

The Royal University recruits young and talented people, and the first requirement is to be young, and no one over 15 years old is accepted.

However, people who are over the age limit are not prohibited from participating in the real exam. After all, many people just want to test their own level, and they don't even want to study at the Royal University.

Therefore, as long as the Gongyuan has a place, the Royal University has always been open to visitors.

Lao Zhu searched around in the crowd for a few times, but he didn't see the figure he wanted to see, so he gradually put away the idea.

After all, he had already secretly helped the child, as long as the child firmly memorized the content he taught, he would have a great chance of being admitted to the Royal University.

A young man in the crowd seemed to feel that someone was looking at him, and subconsciously looked back.

After seeing a tall restaurant, the boy immediately looked away.

"This kind of restaurant is not something ordinary people can go to. Grandpa Zhu probably doesn't have such great skills, right?"

Wang He muttered a few words in his heart, and when he heard his name being sung in front, he immediately went forward with other students for inspection.

"Take off your coat, only dirty clothes and trousers are allowed..."

"The sheets and quilts can only be used in a single layer, and the cakes and pastries must be torn apart..."

Wang He wasn't nervous at first, but he immediately became nervous when he heard the yelling from the officials.

"Official messenger... elder brother... Wansheng only brought two steamed buns..."

"The steamed buns have to be broken!"

"Oh oh oh..."

Wang He hurriedly broke the steamed buns he brought in half, but unexpectedly, the officials at the side still thought it was too big, so he stretched out his big hands full of stains and continued to break the steamed buns until they were broken into pieces. .

Just when Wang He was depressed that he could not eat the steamed buns, he happened to see an official peddling in the door carrying a burden.

"Freshly baked steamed buns, one for twenty big buns!"

Seeing this scene, Wang He was dumbfounded.

Twenty adults outside can buy a basket of steamed buns, but in the Gongyuan they can only buy one!

However, this is just the beginning. The small business in the Gongyuan has already covered all aspects of basic necessities of life.

"Come and take a look if you have a headache!"

"Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau's new musk refreshing pill!"

"Egg Drop Soup Egg Drop Soup, freshly made egg drop soup. Take it anytime, heat it up anytime, a bowl only costs [-] cents!"

"Chaos, dumplings, noodles...you can put them in the pot and cook them at any time, and a bowl only costs [-] yuan!"

Wang He finally understood that the reason why this group of officials inspected the food so arbitrarily was that they didn't want them to eat what they brought with them, and then bought theirs at a high price in the examination room!

Wang He squeezed the several hundred Wen coins in his hand, thinking that this money might not be able to survive here for three days...

Fortunately, as long as he passed the exam for one day, he could hand in the paper, and after handing in the paper, he could go out to eat cheap and delicious snacks.

Wang He wrapped the broken steamed buns and came to the test booth where he wrote his own good cards. Seeing the dense cobwebs in the test room, he first cleaned it with the small broom he brought with him, and then spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to wait for the examiner to ask questions .

There were a lot of candidates this time, but the candidates entered the venue very quickly. Within an hour, thousands of people had all passed the inspection and entered the venue.

The three examiners saw that all the personnel had entered the arena, and immediately respectfully invited the test questions to exit the arena.

Officials pushed the test papers with intact seals into the arena, and under the supervision of three examiners, they handed out the test questions one by one.

If the examinee finds that the test paper is defaced, he can ask for a replacement on the spot, and the official has no choice but to refuse it for any reason.

The examination papers were distributed quickly, and they were sent to Wang He soon.

Wang He looked at the test paper that exuded the fragrance of ink, carefully spread it on the straw paper, and then carefully reviewed the questions.

Because he bought the book Gewu Daquan, he was no stranger to the knowledge of Gewu in the test paper, and quickly wrote down all the answers.

However, when he opened the four book questions, he fell silent when he saw the three Analects questions appearing one after another.

He has seen these three questions before!

When Mr. Zhu told him the Analects of Confucius again, he also explained to him the source and meaning of these three sentences, as well as the imperial court's views on these three sentences.

Wang He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and began to recall the key points mentioned by Mr. Zhu when he taught, and then conceived the article, how to solve the topic delicately, and connect the past and the next, so that the whole article is coherent.

It took Wang He only one day to answer all the questions in the four books, but he did not hand in the papers immediately.

Because according to the information he inquired before, the first one to hand in the paper will be considered frivolous by the examiner, even if the writing is excellent, they will find some faults.

Therefore, it is not because of a sudden illness, or if the diarrhea is unbearable, generally speaking, no one is the first to hand in the paper.

On the second day, finally a few people who suffered from the cold and bad stomach couldn't help but hand in the papers ahead of time, so Wang He followed behind them and handed in the papers quietly.

Wang He came out of the examination room and did not see his mother in the crowd.

Because my mother still has to work, it is impossible to come to greet me like other parents.

However, Wang He's appearance still attracted the attention of many people. Many people came forward to ask about the difficulty of the exam. Wang He could only recall the exam questions from memory to satisfy their curiosity.

After sending the group of people away with great difficulty, Wang He left from the gate of the Gongyuan, returned to his residence and ate a bowl of chaos for three Wen to reward himself, and then went home to wait for his mother to come back quietly.

When Mrs. Yang returned to the small courtyard after get off work, she saw that her son hadn't endorsed the book as usual, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little displeased.

But when he thought that his son had studied hard for several months and finally passed the exam, he really should take a few days off, so he didn't show it.

"He'er, how did you do in the exam?"

Yang Shi just asked politely, but Wang He didn't expect Wang Zha to directly give him a Wang Zha.

"mother!"

"I think I can pass the exam this time!"

Yang's mind was a little dazed, and she asked with some doubts.

"What did you get into?"

"Admitted to the Royal University, and study with the princes and grandsons of the Ming Dynasty and the noble children in the form of civil servants!"

"This……"

Seeing her son's crazy smile, Yang hurried forward and touched his forehead.

"You didn't have a fever, why did you start talking nonsense?"

"mother!"

"My son didn't talk nonsense. My son really did well this time. Several of the four-book questions in the examination room were taught by Mr. Zhu!"

"what?"

When Mrs. Yang heard the word "Mr. Zhu", she couldn't help but tremble.

She thought she had forgotten about that heartbroken person long ago, but when she heard the name, her heart still couldn't help but tighten.

This damned old enemy!

If you see him again in the future, be sure to splash him with footwashing water!

"Ha ha!"

"Since He'er thinks he did well in the exam, that's fine."

"But you can't relax, if you don't pass the exam, we still have to go to other schools."

"Uh-huh!"

"Mother, don't worry, your son will work hard!"

Yang left some living expenses for her son and returned to the workshop, and did not come to the small courtyard for several days in a row.

First, I don't want to disturb my son's study, and second, I don't want to return to this sad place.

However, on the afternoon of the seventh day after the exam, when she was burying herself in the paper box in the workshop, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums outside the door.

"Congratulations Yang, your son has been selected!"

My friend's new book "Two Realms: From the Opening of Guan Gong's Eyes", Huang Huai, who has the ability to travel through the two realms, watched countless ordinary people in this world rely on worshiping various gods, and cast their faith in gods to fight against demons and evil spirits.

A village of hundreds of people can protect itself by enshrining the unknown tiger-headed human body god, and a family can protect the family inheritance for hundreds of years by enshrining ancestors in the ancestral hall.

At this moment, Huang Huai's heart was moved. If he wanted to put the Buddha in Longmen Grottoes in Longmen Grottoes, the statue of Avalokitesvara in the South Sea of ​​Putuo Mountain, the statue of Wudang Zhenwu Emperor, the statue of Emperor Guan in Shanxi Yuncheng, and even the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Many statues of gods and Buddhas, such as the Jade Emperor, the Daozu of the Sanqing, etc., have been moved to this world. I am afraid that this world will be fried!
