    ?

    The third day after the announcement of the apricot list is the palace examination.

    The palace examination is an examination in which the emperor personally writes questions and presides over it, which is equivalent to the current interview.  There is only one question "Countermeasures" in the palace examination, which lasts for one day.

    The palace test is only used to determine the order of the top ten.  Gongshi who can participate in the palace examination can usually become a Jinshi, and there will be no failure.

    On the gold list, I occasionally miss the top spot.

    How to go to the temporary sages of the Ming Dynasty.

    ? If the situation is not successful, the struggle will not be unrestrained.

    Why bother to talk about death.

    A talented poet is naturally a gentleman in white.

    Fireworks alley, Yiyue Danqing barrier.

    Fortunately, I have someone I like, and it is worth looking for.

    And you cuddle up against the red and lean on the green, and have a romantic life and a smooth life.

    Youth is paid for.

    Tolerate the false name and change it to a shallow pour and sing in a low voice.

    It was the fifth time that Ji Xu and Liu Yuchun came to the capital to take the exam, and this time they were finally sergeants.

    Liu Yuchun excitedly said to everyone: "I'll treat guests at noon, how about going to the most luxurious 'Xinglin Restaurant' in Xinglin?"

    "Okay!" Ji Xu was even more happy.

    In this general examination, Ji Xu is "Huiyuan", that is, the first; in last year's rural examination, he was "Jieyuan"; if he wins another "No.  The tenth "three yuan in a row" person.

    Ji Xu, Liu Ji, Liu Yuchun and Han Wo walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Rites.

    By coincidence, I met Liu Ji and Liu Yuchun's fellow villagers - Li Shanchang [1] from Dingyuan, Haozhou [now Dingyuan County, Anhui] and Shi Yanduan [later renamed Shi Naian] [2] from Xinghua, Taizhou.

    Why are the four of them fellow villagers?

    Both Haozhou and Taizhou at that time belonged to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.  Last autumn, both of them went to Hangzhou, the provincial capital, to take part in the provincial examination.  The township examination is the preliminaries for the examination in Beijing.  Only those who pass the Juren examination are eligible to take the general examination in the spring of the following year.

    In last year's township examination, Li Shanchang was the last one in Juren, and everyone had a deep impression of him.  In this test, Li Shanchang failed again.  Shi Yanduan was comforting him when he bumped into Liu Ji and the others.

    Liu Yuchun pulled Li Shanchang and said, "Brother Baishi, let's go drink first. We didn't pass the exam this year, so next year. I also passed the exam five times"

    Li Shanchang smiled wryly, "There is no coming year, isn't the scientific examination going to be banned?"

    Liu Yuchun smiled awkwardly: How could I forget this.

    On the contrary, Li Shanchang comforted Liu Yuchun: "Brother Zhengshi, I'm fine." He chanted a poem casually, "If you fail to succeed, it's easy to fight. There's no need to talk about death. A gifted poet is naturally a gentleman in white."  Mutually¡­¡­"

    [2] "Chang'an Lost Rank" Qian Qi. Poem

    The flowers are flourishing, the willows are dark and nine doors are deep,

    I am full of tears for drinking elegy;

    For several days the warblers and flowers all shed their feathers,

    One spring comes one sad.

    Shi Yanduan is 37 years old this year, and he is also the master who has taken many exams in Beijing, so he is also very familiar with Ji Xu.  This time he was happy to win the tribute, so he congratulated briefly with Liu Ji and his senior brother.

    Hearing Liu Ji calling Shi Yanduan senior brother, Ji Xu asked: "Why do you call Zhao Rui brother senior brother? Are you two disciples of the same school?"

    Shi Yanduan said: "Yes, although we are more than ten years apart, we are both disciples of Zheng Fuchu[3]."

    Ji Xu said: "That's right, Mr. Zheng is a master of Neo Confucianism!"

    They talked and laughed and walked towards Xinglin.

    A carriage suddenly stopped beside them.  The curtain of the car was lifted, and Yuan Zhen beckoned Ji Xu to the car.

    Yuan Zhen first congratulated Ji Xu on the apricot list and won the "Huiyuan", and then said: "Mr. Ji, I have a wife and sister who are twenty-eight years old and stay in my boudoir. How about it? Mr. Ji, you think about it?"

    Ji Xu hurriedly said: "Xiaosheng is already married at home, thank you Lord Yuan for your kindness, and forgive me if the student can't obey."

    "Aren't you still married? My wife and sister are the prime minister's favorite little princess. If this marriage is made, wouldn't my brother's future be limitless?"

    Ji Xu kept shaking his head, but Yuan Zhen still didn't give up, and continued: "You don't have to rush to reply me, you can think it over when you go back, and then tell me after you think about it."

    Ji Xu got out of the car and caught up with Liu Yuchun and others who were waiting for him.

    Han Wo looked at Ji Xu and wondered in his heart: what does uncle want Ji Xu for?  With doubts in his heart, he followed Ji Xu into the "Xinglin".

    Those who drank under the apricot tree were not only the Gongsheng students who passed the exam, but also those who failed the exam.

    theThere are many masters.  Deng Yanyou Wuwu Jinshi, awarded Dexing County Chancellor.  "

    After returning to his hometown, Zheng Fuchu took in many students, and Liu Bowen was the most famous one among them.  Regarding the date of Zheng Fuchu's birth and death, there is no clear record in the history books, but he resigned in 1328 A.D. and wrote some books afterwards. Based on this, it can be inferred that he should have died around 1333.  And Liu Bowen was born in 1311. When he was a teenager, he worshiped Zheng Fuchu as his teacher and learned the Four Books and Five Classics from him.

    "Sincerity Bo Liu Gong Xing Zhang" wrote: "Liu Ji talked about reason in the early days of Mr. Zheng, and when he heard Lian Luo's mind, he got his purpose. Mr. Gongfu said: I will use the way of heaven to be invincible.  Repay a good man, this son will be a high-ranking man." In the past few years, Zheng Fuchu not only taught Liu Bowen to solve doubts, but more importantly, taught him how to behave, which had a great influence on Liu Bowen.

    [4] Gao Wenxiu

    ?The year of birth and death is unknown, from Dongping (now in Shandong Province).  A student member of the government, died early.  A famous dramatist in the Yuan Dynasty, known as "Little Han Qing".

    His works include "Double Contributions" which is a drama with Li Kui, the hero of the Water Margin, as the main character.  It is written that Li Kui went down the mountain to protect Sun Kongmu of Yuncheng County and his wife Guo Nianer went to Dongyue Temple to offer incense.  His grandson's wife, Guo Nian'er, and Quan Haoshi wanted to have an affair with Bai Ya Nei, and they agreed to abscond together on the road to incense.  Bai Ya Nei even borrowed a large Yamen to sit in the hall at will, and when Sun Kongmu came to file a complaint, he took the opportunity to put him on death row.  After Li Kui found out about this, he did not recklessly pick up an ax to rob the prison to save people. Instead, he pretended to be a stupid young crop, went to the prison to deliver food to Sun Kongmu, numb the prison with clumsy words and deeds, and tricked him into eating.  Put down the fragrant rice covered with sweat medicine, then rescue Sun Kongmu and let go of the other people in prison.  The next day, Li Kui disguised himself as a "servant" and sneaked into Bai Yamen's house. When Bai Yamen was drunk and asked people to drink more, he killed Bai Yamen and Guo Nian'er, and carried the two heads to Liangshan to offer meritorious service.  .  This play highlights the darkness of the society at that time. Through Li Kui's going deep into the enemy's camp alone, robbing prisons wisely, killing traitors in government offices and other conflicts, as well as the comic arrangement of rough people using fine things, it portrays Li Kui in this particular drama.  In the conflicting environment, the brave and witty character traits shown extol Li Kui's noble quality of not being afraid of hardships and dangers to save people in danger.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
