The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

On the ninth day of March in the 21st year of Jingping, the first session of Enke's general examination began.

Although the imperial examinations have taken shape in this era, they are far less stringent than later generations.Obtaining scholars through scientific examinations and being a Jinshi has gradually become an important reference for selecting officials, but it has not yet become the only way.

For example, exam papers are not sealed.Self-recommendation is prevalent before the exam, and the reputation of the examinee will affect the examiner's assessment to a considerable extent.It is of course unavoidable to rely on nepotism for favors, but having a great reputation is another form of publicity. In an environment where everyone respects face, those who are on the list have some real talents.As for the experience of being locked up in a small dark room in the Gongyuan for several days and unable to get out, eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping all on the spot in later generations is comparable to the experience of being in prison, if a time traveler tells it, no one will believe it.

Since the founding of Xianxi, the number of Enke has been counted on the fingers.When the news spread, readers were very excited.

Song Wei's concern about these matters is limited, but with the opening of Enke's examination, the day when the six princes recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and seal the king and open the mansion is imminent.He, a big idler who doesn't worry about anything, has to force himself to be busy, and learn everything step by step from Ming Guogong's grandson Ruchu.

Song Wei's rich experience told him that old revolutionaries often encounter new problems.Not to mention that he did not learn well in the past, the rules of different dynasties are not only similar, but also different, and sometimes they may be quite different.At the very beginning of Kuku time travel, he naively thought that God had created a cheat for him.Later, he gradually realized the cruel fact: his limited knowledge reserve has never connected the time axis in a known order.

Unknowingly, the past and the future have been overstated by him, but only the present can still feel fresh and real.

What's more, there are some rules, which are not knowledge, but behavioral habits. Just knowing it is useless.For example, during the ceremony, you have to take a walking chariot on the road before the main hall.Song Wei has never sat on this thing in several lifetimes.What others may consider grand, in his view, is pure torture.It is required to sit upright on it, with people watching from all sides. It is neither as comfortable as a sedan chair, nor as comfortable as riding a horse, nor as comfortable as riding a car. The doors and curtains are covered, and you can do whatever you like.The most deceitful thing is that all the people carrying the chariot are coquettish and timid maids, they might as well be stable stools!Song Wei always felt that if whoever loosened his hand, he would have to slip down diagonally and fall hard, causing the whole world to see a big joke.Out of this mentality, he couldn't help but secretly push down with the palm of his hand, so he lost his manners and suffered more and more nagging from his eldest grandson Ruchu.

He was miserable, but he didn't even have a place to complain.Everyone else was busier than him, and no one could take care of the trivial troubles of comforting His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness.

The Enke incident was announced in the first month, and the exam will start in March, mainly for scholars who failed the ranking last year and talents recommended by local officials.Those who failed to win in the first year but ranked high, those whose recommenders are high enough, or who are famous enough, can go directly to the capital to take part in the examination.Nearly two months is enough for candidates from all over the world to rush over from other places.

In this way, it is not just civil servants who are busy.Yihou, who is in charge of guarding the palace, and Xianhou, who is in charge of the defense of the city and Gyeonggi, both put up their full energy and devoted themselves to their work.Dugu is also the commander of both the Suwei Army and the Fuwei Army. He is doing two people's work by himself, and he also has to take care of the preparations for the safety and security of the Sixth Prince's palace. He is busy day and night.Although it was Song Wei who told him not to enter the palace out of anger, but he really didn't have time to enter the palace.

The emperor's search for the sixth prince, who had been living among the people, had basically become an open secret at the top of the imperial court.

In the nineteenth court meeting in March, the emperor personally announced the matter, and ordered Zongzheng Temple, Taichang Temple, Imperial Medical Office and Huntian Supervisor to review their identities, write a genealogy, calculate auspicious dates, and prepare for the ceremony.

Three days later, officials from relevant departments rushed to write about the whole story of the sixth prince's exile among the people and his search for return.At the end of the golden book that proves his identity, apart from the emperor's own signature and seal, there are Zongzheng Siqing, Yanxi County King Song Liao, Master Xuanqing, Minghua Princess Song Wen, Xianhou Duguxian, and the chief servant Qingyun, Important witnesses such as imperial physician Li Yi signed and sealed.On March 29, Hun Tian Jian played the grand auspicious ceremony, while Taichang Temple was in full swing preparing for various ceremonies of sacrificial offerings and conferring titles.

Coincidentally, this day was the day after Enke released the rankings, and all Xinke Scholars received special honors, and could attend the ceremony of the sixth prince's conferment.

The emperor proposed that the sixth prince should stay in the palace until the day of the ceremony on the grounds that father and son had been separated for many years and longed for a reunion.It wasn't a major event that hurt muscles and bones. Besides, at the age of the emperor, since Hexi Zhaoyi, he hadn't filled the harem for many years, and he didn't have a young and beautiful concubine by his side.If he insisted on keeping his son to live with him, no one else could gossip about it even though it was not in accordance with the etiquette.So a few officials muttered a few words symbolically and gave up their opposition.

There were still three days before the official ceremony. After the court meeting, the emperor personally inscribed the list of Enke's top ten players. After listening to the Minister of Rites' report on the arrangements for the next day's palace examination, he returned to his bedroom early to have lunch with his youngest son.

After the meal, Qingyun presented Song Wei with an exquisite brocade box under the emperor's signal.

Song Wei guessed what it was, took it over and opened it, and sure enough, there was the jade document that marked the identity of the prince lying inside.The pure and flawless top-quality jade pieces are inlaid in the Panlong gold holder, which is graceful and elegant, and is beyond words.

The emperor said: "Zongzheng Temple presented this, let's take a look at it first, and then hold it for you at the ceremony. When it moves into the palace, I will ask Li Yi to keep it. Don't lose your sloppy and confused temper."

Li Yi was given a false civil title by the emperor, and he went to be the general manager only after the sixth prince opened the mansion.

Song Wei bowed her head in response, her arms suddenly became extremely heavy, and she almost couldn't hold the little brocade box.

"Jade inlaid with gold" is the most beautiful and noble symbol of this era.A small genealogy immediately materialized the title of "Six Princes", like a mountain, weighing heavily on it.

well.Song Wei sighed inwardly.Going around, why still go the old way.Comparing the present and the past, there seem to be many changes, but there seems to be no difference.The past is becoming increasingly blurred in the memory, while the future is becoming more and more blind in the swing.For a moment, he felt that the past was vivid, but it was fate restarting a new round of vicious circle.For a while, I feel that there are breakthroughs everywhere in this life, which can be described as unique.

So entangled in turning over the jade ultimatum, seeing the engraved content clearly, I immediately understood why the emperor said that he had to look at the appearance first.I saw the imposing engraving on it: "Sixth Prince Wei, on March [-]th in the [-]st year of Jingping, Yuci changed his name to Pei and granted him the title of King Xiu."

The emperor changed his name, and he came in advance.

"I asked Uman, the word Yinwei was given to you by your mother before she was alive. Now that you recognize your ancestors, you should record your name according to the genealogy." The emperor looked at his son very cautiously, "Only put the name Changed, the rest will remain the same. Daddy still calls you Xiaoyin."

This means that the nickname and characters will not be changed.Song Wei thought of Jiongjiong's "miaozhi" and had an impulse to ask the emperor to change it.However, the relationship with Dugumo is one after another, if it really changes, there will be endless troubles.Then nodded: "Since it is the ancestor's rule, let's change it."

Take a look at my new name, the strokes are really complicated.Exercising his energy while thinking, he said: "Song Pei—is it Pei? It's okay, it's not bad."

The emperor smiled: "Yes. Your brother's generation is named after 'Yu', with the intention of moistening things silently and embracing the world." Speaking of this, I feel that the youngest son can even pronounce the word "pei" so reluctantly , I am afraid that I can’t even pronounce the names of the brothers, so I explained: “Your elder brother’s name is Yu, which means to pray for rain; the second brother’s name is Yu, which means the first light rain; ; You probably know that he is no longer here." When the third child was mentioned, the emperor was moved for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"Your fourth brother's name is Fei, which means that the rain is great; the fifth brother's name is Xi, which means that the rain is extremely abundant. As for your name, it means that the rain comes suddenly and is extremely abundant."

Song Wei listened, and laughed happily: "Father, look at the bunch of names you chose, don't they all go together like: the rain is getting bigger and bigger, haha... It's a good thing you only have six sons, and if you have a few more, you will be born again." There must be a flood.”

The emperor reprimanded lightly: "Full of nonsense!"

Song couldn't stop smiling: "Anyway, my mother is a nonsense, and I will admit her nonsense."

The emperor had nothing to do with his rascal habits, so he couldn't help but also laughed.

Song Wei said again: "The name is mediocre, I like the title. King Xiu, King Xiu, leisure and entertainment, rest and recuperation, Dad, you really know me very well."

The emperor sighed helplessly, and stopped teaching the character class: "If you want to think so, it's fine."

In the afternoon, Sun Ruchu, the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, came to give the last etiquette lesson to the sixth prince, explaining the profound connotation of the word "Xiu" for "King Xiu".

"Xiu Zhe, Meishanye, Jiqingye, and Xinyueye." Getting along for two months is enough for the waiter to let the adults know the details of the sixth prince.However, as a civil servant with integrity, he has always refused to lower his style in order to accommodate the crude cultural level of His Highness the Sixth Highness.

""Yi" says 'suspending fate in accordance with the sky', and "Poetry" says "retirement from Kong Zhi". It can be seen that 'rest' means beauty and goodness."

Song Wei at least understood the word "beauty and goodness", and nodded blankly.

""Policy" states that 'Xiu will descend to the sky', and the ancients also said, 'Scrutinize their rest and faults, and examine their beauty and evil'. It can be seen that 'Xiu' means auspicious celebration."

Song Wei nodded again.

"The "Poetry" says, 'When I see a gentleman, my heart will rest', and the saying goes, 'We are related to each other'. It can be seen that 'rest' means joy."

Song Wei nodded again.

The eldest grandson Ruchu said solemnly: "His Majesty the Sixth Highness has returned, and His Majesty regards it as a sign of goodness, a sign of auspiciousness, and a joyous event. If the grace of heaven is so great, His Highness must not be ignorant."

Song Wei was taken aback by his solemn, almost holy appearance.It took a while before he said: "I probably understand that the meaning of this title is, in short, that it is very good. I am the king of Hugh, and to my father, it is like a super mascot."

In recent days, the emperor not only often governs all day long, but also has a rosy and healthy complexion on his face.Song Wei thought to himself, not to mention the good, the good and the auspicious, the joy is obvious.

The eldest grandson Ruchu heard the word "mascot" for the first time.After thinking about it, I actually felt that it was very appropriate.Can't help showing a smile: "Your Highness must think so."

Song Wei said in a very doggy manner: "Well, Mr. Changsun, the words you said earlier were too profound, and I didn't understand them very well. My father has put in so much effort, and I can't answer a word later, which will hurt me. He, heck, showing the blind man his cute eyebrows, it seems that I am not very filial as a son. Can you trouble me, and explain it to me carefully, it is best, uh, to speak a little more bluntly..."

As the saying goes, full of losses, humility benefits, Song Wei's modest attitude is enough to make him forgiven from the noble and arrogant old man.The eldest grandson Ruchu looked at him for a while, and said slowly: "It's rare that Your Highness wants to learn, so please listen carefully." Sure enough, he really regarded him as a Mongolian child, and began to speak every word.

On March 27th, Enke's top ten entered the palace test, but No.10 was absent.Officials from the Ministry of Rites immediately sent people to look for it, but no one knew where the Jinshi was, and it seemed that he had disappeared without a trace.

The top ten candidates for the imperial examinations have always been decided by the emperor and several auxiliary ministers. As for the final result, it also depends on the performance of the imperial examination.During the Enke period, the crown prince took the temporary position of minister, and he deliberately and positively performed a lot of efforts.However, the emperor's homework to guard against his son was not in vain. One of them was identified at a glance as a senior retainer of the Prince's Mansion, and he just pulled out a man with outstanding writing and poetic style from the bottom ten, and he was squeezed out.In terms of the level of the test papers alone, this one who was temporarily pulled up is not inferior to the top ten, but the disadvantage is that the name is unfamiliar.The emperor even planned that if he performed well in the imperial examination, it would be okay to be placed in the top three.

The missing No.10 was the one caught in the eyes of the emperor, and he went up and down desperately looking for it.It was the first time for the crown prince to actually participate in a major event, so he messed it up, and he was very depressed, even more annoyed than his father finding a bastard brother.

The author has something to say: I suddenly remembered that I should advertise before the end of the year:

The book "Red Dust is Lucky to Know Danqing" is gone, but the surrounding poetry books are still there.I think it's very beautifully done.

"Life's Desperate for Gentleness" is still available.

There are also "Arty Records".

If you are interested, please search Taobao for "Tingxue Xizhaoxuan", or directly search for the title of the book, and the same is true for buying from other agencies.

Thank you for your support.
