The rise of the poor

Chapter 359

The rooster hadn't crowed, the dog hadn't barked, it was pitch black outside the window, and there was no light at all.

After getting up and washing, Zhu Pingan got up, ate the breakfast delivered by the little maid with lanterns, and with the help of the little maid, put on the brand-new Jinshi uniform, and then left the residence of Marquis of Linhuai, heading for the Forbidden City.

Breakfast is porridge and side dishes with meat buns. It tastes very good. It can be tasted as the craftsmanship of Li Shu’s fast-improving chef. The bun skin is flexible and delicious, and the side dishes are refreshing and delicious.

In other words, the chef of Li Shu's family is also very hard. He has to wake up at least half an hour earlier than himself to make such a table breakfast. I must thank the chef of Li's family face to face. Recently, I have been grateful to the Li family. The chef's food care is very grateful.

Zhu Ping left the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion and headed all the way to the Forbidden City, because the place of Chuanlu notified yesterday when the officials of the Ministry of Rites delivered the Jinshi crown uniform was the Jinshen Hall of the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City, the city within a city, is the modern Forbidden City. Of course, the Forbidden City at this time in Ming Dynasty is very different from the modern Forbidden City. After all, the modern Forbidden City has been rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty.Unlike the modern Forbidden City, people can go in and play around after paying for a ticket. The Forbidden City at this time in the Ming Dynasty was a forbidden area. It was an imperial palace, and the most noble people in the world lived there.

Chuanlu refers to the ceremony of announcing the ranking in the palace examination.

When Zhu Pingan walked to the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City, the east gradually became dimly lit. The sky was turning white, the flowers were turning red, and the willows were turning green. The golden glazed tiles of the Forbidden City spread a golden light, full of luxury and wealth.

The crowd of people outside the Forbidden City was roughly divided into two groups. One group was civil and military officials in court clothes. A new Jinshi crown uniform and a new Jinshi wearing a black gauze hat with hairpin flowers.

Both groups of people were very excited. The civil and military officials were excited because they hadn't seen Emperor Jiajing for a long time. Many of them were not qualified to go to Xiyuan in the last palace examination. How can we not be excited to see the holy face after a long absence; as for the new Jinshi who are ranked behind the civil and military officials, they are excited because today is their day of great joy, and the golden palace is passed on. time.

Because it was still early and the gates of the Forbidden City had not yet opened, everyone waited and chatted outside, their excitement palpable.

When Zhu Ping'an arrived in the Forbidden City, he joined Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen among the four hundred new Jinshi.

The hottest topic among the new jinshimen is the status of the champion. At this time, not only do they not know the top [-] rankings of the first class, but even so many civil and military officials in front of them, none of them know the top [-] rankings, including Elder Yan Song, Yan Ge, and other eight ministers who read the papers did not know, they only knew the ranking of Jinshi after the [-]th.

At this time, the ranking of the top [-] has been sealed since Emperor Jiajing made the schedule, and it will not be opened until today when it is passed on, and the ranking will be announced.

Of course, even though the exact ranking of the top [-] is unknown, there are still a lot of inside information circulating. Many of these [-] new Jinshi were born in the families of dignitaries, or were related to dignitaries. , the relationship is the relationship, and many new jinshi have inquired about the information of the eight reading ministers when they were reading the papers.

In addition, yesterday, the news that Emperor Jiajing summoned the top [-] was also spread among the crowd.

It is because there are some known things sandwiched between the unknowns of the top pick that everyone chats so hotly.

"It stands to reason that the Huiyuan we tried last time has a great chance." A new Jinshi wearing a black gauze hat with hairpin flowers, wearing a Jinshi crown uniform, and holding a locust wood wat board stood in the crowd. Express your opinion.

As soon as the man's voice fell to the ground, someone laughed and shook his head.

"I'm afraid this young brother only knows one thing and doesn't know the other." The man shook his head and said with a smile, his face full of gossip.

"Oh, I would like to hear more about it." The first new Jinshi asked this man for advice.

"Although I heard it from hearsay, the news is very reliable. My father's friend works in Dali Temple, and his boss, Dali Temple Qing, is one of the ministers who read the paper. He mentioned it to my father yesterday when he was drinking at my house, saying yes After checking the papers, submit the top 11 test papers to the imperial examination papers. When the imperial examination papers were opened, we found that our Zhu Huiyuan only got seven 'O's in this examination papers, and his ranking before submission to the imperial examination papers was only No. [-]." The person shaking his head and laughing said gossipingly, looking at the astonished expression of the person opposite with satisfaction, he had enough gossip.

"No.11, let alone the top one in this ranking, even the top two is not ahead." The crowd began to discuss.

"This is all taken care of by Yan Shoufu. I heard that after the first pass, this test paper only has six 'O's, which are among the top three. Yan Shoufu cherishes talents and asks the examiner to repeat the test again." After reading it again, there is only one more 'O'." There are new Jinshi who know more inside information, and they supplement the inside information they know.

It's amazing, Huiyuan only got seven "Os", and the top two are not in the top!Don't even think about the champion.Everyone's emotions were high for a while, especially those who felt good about themselves, and felt that they had another chance.

Uh, it's me.Zhu Pingan listened to everyone's discussion with a calm face, but smiled slightly when everyone looked over sympathetically, showing no signs of frustration.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Ping'an is nothing more than heartbroken, extremely sad and joyful, and a desperate push.
After hearing the news, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen kept comforting Zhu Pingan, asking Zhu Pingan to relax and not think too much, but the result didn't come out, everything is possible, even though they really felt that it was impossible .

"Don't worry, I've already achieved what I wanted to reach today. As for the number one scholar, I'm lucky if I get it, and I'll die if I lose it."

Zhu Pingan smiled calmly and calmly.

"I'm lucky if I get it; I'm lucky if I lose it. Zihou is so open-minded and open-minded, which is admirable." Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen admire Zhu Pingan's optimistic attitude towards life. I am lucky to have this sentence The loss of my life almost made the two of them bow their heads.

Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen see it this way, but it doesn’t mean that everyone sees it this way: pretend, pretend, just keep pretending, and see when you can hit it, and when the result comes out, you will cry.

"Let me see, Brother Ouyang is the number one scholar in Enke this time. I heard that Brother Ouyang won a lot of prizes. The eight ministers who read the papers all gave "O" high marks." Someone in the crowd was very confident. Put forward the conclusion that the number one scholar must belong to Ouyang Zishi.

This conclusion was approved by the majority of people present, almost all the people present, and then the people standing beside Ouyang Zishi started to compliment Ouyang Zishi, as if the number one scholar of Enke was already in possession.

Under everyone's compliments, Ouyang Zishi said that he dare not be worthy, the grades have not come out yet, everyone should not joke, but he is full of happiness, proud of the spring breeze, looking forward to the brilliance, and looks completely confident.

"I heard that this time the top [-] face saints are the last, and the sage asked one to be rewarded. May I ask you guys what you chose?" A Jinshi who was summoned by Jiajing among the top [-] asked the crowd.

Soon someone responded, saying it was a golden carp, and several people said it was a golden carp.

Someone asked Ouyang Zishi, and Ouyang Zishi also replied that it was a goldfish, and a carp jumped over the dragon's gate, which was perfect.

Then someone thought that although Zhu Ping'an was ranked eleventh, he had received the grace of the Holy Spirit and was summoned after all, so they came to ask Zhu Ping'an what he had chosen.

"Golden Rooster." Zhu Pingan replied sincerely.

Uh

When everyone heard the words, they were quiet for a few seconds, and then they started whispering again. Many people couldn't help but chuckled.They didn't expect that Zhu Ping'an would choose the Golden Rooster. Carp Yuelongmen said that he had good grades in the imperial examination. Obviously Carp Yuelongmen was the most suitable for the scientific examination, but he chose the Golden Rooster!The test paper was under Yan Shoufu's unconventional care, and he only got eleventh. Now this golden rooster is selected, hehe, don't even think about being the number one scholar, it is impossible.In their eyes, the number one scholar is probably Ouyang Zishi. Anyway, in their eyes, Zhu Ping'an is impossible.

Hearing this, Ouyang Zishi couldn't help but sneered, whispered something, and played the piano randomly.Then, the confidence in his eyes grew even stronger.
