Chapter 362: Gods fight, mortals suffer
With Zhu Ping'an taking the lead, the singing ceremony has ended. After the official received the gold list, the musicians outside the palace began The song "The Chapter of Jiajing" was played, and all the civil and military officials and newly promoted scholars knelt three times and kowtowed again. With everyone kneeling in obeisance, Emperor Jiajing returned to his Xiyuan in an imperial chariot. He was probably about to start refining elixirs again. .
Jiajing returned to Xiyuan to make elixirs. Officials from Honglu Temple handed the gold list to Xu Jie, the Minister of Rites. Xu Jie opened it for verification and handed it to Li Mo, the Minister of Personnel.
The nearby ministers also gathered around to watch the palace examination gold list. These ministers were very interested in this year's palace examination gold list. Even before the palace examination, they learned that Ouyang Zishi, Yan Song's nephew, was going to Participate in this palace examination, and Yan Song presides over the palace examination again After reading the papers, I heard that during the palace examination, Mr. Yan Ge's nephew was ranked first. I thought that this time the number one winner would be Mr. Yan Ge's nephew Ouyang Zishi. Unexpectedly, when the results were released in a blink of an eye, Mr. Yan Ge's Not to mention my nephew, he didn't even get the top spot in the second place.
If you say that Mr. Yan Ge is selfless, they don't believe it. If Mr. Yan Ge is selfless, why did his nephew rank first after the review by the minister? ! Moreover, they even heard that Zhu Ping'an, the number one scholar this time, also known as Hui Yuan, was only ranked eleventh after the examination papers were reviewed by the minister. Originally, we didn't even have the chance to be previewed by the Holy One, but who would have thought that God's grace would come so great that our Holy One would actually have to review the first twenty papers.
Some officials who were angry at Yan Song but dared not speak out were happy to hear about the gold medal this time. Mr. Yan Ge was really too smart in his calculations, which cost his life. In the end, not only did he become the number one scholar, but his nephew But he only came in second place!
"Oh, Mr. Yan, please take this opportunity to take a look at the gold list. In a moment we will hang it outside the East Chang'an Gate." The gray-bearded official holding the gold list said with a look on his face. Smiling, he waved the gold medal in his hand to Mr. Yan Ge very "sincerely" and asked, Li Mo knew all about the tricks of this palace examination.
It almost seems provocative.
Zhu Pingan was a little curious about this gray-bearded official. Who is he? There are still officials who dare to confront Yan Song in public these days.
"Ahem, Mr. Li is really considerate and considerate of his elders. I am already in my seventies. At this age, my hearing is also a little bad. I just auditioned for the singing list and it was just right. Some of you didn’t hear it clearly. Master Li’s words really spoke to my heart. I’ll just thank you.”
To the surprise of the gray-bearded official, Mr. Yan Song heard what he said. Not only did he not feel angry at all, but his face was rosy. He looked at him like a grandpa looking at his grandson, praising himself for being filial to the old man. And those who are still good at it want to see the gold list.
For a moment, the gray-bearded official was a little stunned. Well, shouldn't this old guy be ashamed?
Soon, a one-eyed fat man next to Yan Song came more and more. All the officials consciously stepped out of the way for him. Zhu Ping'an also knew this one-eyed fat man, he was Yan Song's only son. Yan Shifan.
"Haha, Mr. Li is thoughtful, and his filial piety is commendable. I thank Mr. Li on behalf of my father." Yan Shifan walked up to the gray-bearded official with a mocking smile, and slightly arched his hand. He performed the courtesy of a lower official meeting his superior, but there was no respect at all on his face.
"Hmph." The gray-bearded official snorted coldly and put the gold medal in Yan Shifan's hand. Behind the gray-bearded official, there were many officials looking at Yan Shifan with the same hatred.
"That's it, thank you very much..." Yan Shifan twitched the corners of his mouth, laughing loudly, and a glimmer of darkness flashed in his single eye as he looked at the gray-bearded official.
In Yan Shifan's heart, Li Mo is becoming more and more unstoppable. Isn't it because you were ordered to guard the Zhengyang Gate last year when Anda Khan came to the capital? Isn't it because Sheng Shengsheng made you the official? Shangshu! It had only been less than a year since he had been the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he was already so restless. This old boy is even more arrogant than that old boy Xu Jie. Xu Jie has become much more sensible since he was beaten by his father last time. He has visited the house many times. Unexpectedly, Li Mo, an old man, had become a bit more mature and had some party members. It seemed that it was time to discuss with his father and give this old man a hard time.
Yan Shifan took the gold medal, returned to Yan Song, and handed the gold medal to his father.
Yan Song took the gold medal, opened it, looked at it, and then walked towards the new scholars standing at the foot of the steps with the gold medal in hand, aiming directly at Zhu Pingan, who was the leader.
“You are the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty and the first person to do so. You are more than 6 years younger than the youngest number one scholar in our dynasty, Jiangxi Fei Hong. It should be noted that Fei Hong was only the number one scholar at that time with only 20 square teeth. You are only fourteen years old!" The most powerful man in the Ming Dynasty besides Jiajing walked up to Zhu Pingan holding the gold medal and looked at Zhu Pingan and said.
Although Zhu Ping'an saw such a big boss like Yan Song coming to him, he couldn't help but become more respectful, saluting with both hands, as if he was listening carefully to the teachings, even though he didn't like Yan Song at all in his heart.
For Zhu Ping'an's courtesy, Yan Song looked very satisfied, as a child can be taught. He smoothed his beard with his hand, nodded and continued:
"You are young and You won the exam, this is the wisdom of our saints. Naturally, it is also inseparable from your diligence and intelligence. It’s open. I read the paper for this palace examination. When I first looked at your test paper, I felt that it was extraordinary. However, luckily for the Holy One, you must not let down the Holy One’s love for talents.”
"I sincerely follow your teachings." Zhu Pingan saluted with both hands and responded respectfully.
In the eyes of outsiders, Yan Song's heart-to-heart talk has the feeling of elders caring for their younger ones, and Zhu Ping'an is also very cooperative, respectful and polite. It can be said to be a picture of love.
"Humph, you're a bird of a feather! You're young and don't learn well!" The gray-bearded Li Mo snorted coldly when he saw this, pointed at Sang and Huaihuai, looked away and said a leisurely sentence, and then led several officials around the place.
"I'm not feeling well. I'll let Zuo Shilang take charge of posting the list at East Chang'an Gate." After walking a few steps, Li Mo slightly arched his hands, put down a word, and led several officials to leave.
"Master Li, please go slowly without seeing him off. Take good care of your health. The staff will have to take care of Master Li." Yan Shifan said with a smile on the back of Li Mo and others who were leaving.
As soon as he finished speaking, it was obvious that Li Mo took an angry step when he heard the words. Yan Shifan laughed happily, with a sinister air exuding in his one eye, as if he was thinking about what to do. Deal with this old guy who dares to go against his father.
When gods fight, mortals suffer!
The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond!
Listening to the words of the gray-bearded official, "We are all the same, we are too young to learn well", Zhu Ping'an felt like crying in his heart. This was totally a fire at the city gate that affected the fish in the pond. An innocent disaster appeared out of thin air. He Even without Mao doing anything, he seemed to have offended a big boss who dared to be an enemy of Yan Song.
Listening to what Yan Shifan said, the Ministry of Personnel still needs to worry about Mr. Li. Damn, this official with a gray beard must be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the promotion assessment of officials all over the world, and he has the same position as the Prime Minister and Assistant Minister.
You are too arbitrary, aren't you? ! (End of this chapter)
