Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Shouzheng quickly stood up and waited in line for a while before it was his turn to hand in his paper.

    The place where the scrolls are collected is in Wenzhao Pavilion, the right side hall of Huangji Palace.

    The four officials who received the record were Zhang Siwei, the Hanlin attendant, and Shen Shixing, the compiler and editor, as well as Zheng Dajing and Zhang Qi, who were responsible for the affairs.  Just like during the general examination, under the watchful eye of the supervisor, the candidates' papers will be initially inspected, and then a customs clearance ticket will be issued. Every fifty papers will be numbered one and put into a box.

    When the papers are collected, they will be sent to the Mi Feng Office in Wucheng Pavilion opposite.

    In Wucheng Pavilion, Taichang Qing Xu Fan has memorized the first sentences of more than twenty policy statements that should be recorded.

    He has a good memory and a photographic memory, and it is no problem to remember these things.

    Zhao Shouzheng's part was the last part he needed to write down.  Take it in your hand and glance at the opening sentence:

    ¡®I replied: I heard that the ruler of the world has only one day. Heaven has the grace to bring up the world, but it cannot take care of the world on its own.  Therefore, you should hold Tai'a in the palm of your hand and drum the great spirit in the field'

    "It's this again" Xu Fan's mouth twitched when he saw it, and he thought that it would be better to call this science "Fartology".

    The five Zhao disciples were like this, and so was Zhao Hao's father.

    Is it necessary to flatter the emperor and flatter the emperor like this?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Wouldn¡¯t it be good to be an upright minister who does not serve the king?

    Therefore, Mr. Xiao Ge was even more determined to eliminate all six members of the Zhao family from the top three.

    ¡®Well, when we go back to appoint officials, send one of them to Danzhou, one to Guizhou, one to Yunnan, one to Guangxi, one to Shaanxi, and one to Liaodong. Let them die far away and never come back!  ¡¯

    ??~~

    At this time, the lights in the east side hall of Wenhua Hall were brightly lit, and the twelve readers were chatting, which was very pleasant.

    Tomorrow is the time for them to grade their papers. Today, all of you busy adults have had half a day of free time.

    Mr. Xu Ge was sitting cross-legged on the kang table.

    Xianggong Zhang and Yang Boda, the Minister of Civil Affairs, sat on both sides of the kang table. Wang Ting, the censor of Zuodu, sat at the bottom with his body tilted.

    The remaining ministers stood under the kang, chatting with the four bosses.

    As for the last two document readers, Li Bangzhen, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Zhu Dashou, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academythe two future bosses have to shoulder the task of serving tea and water to the current bosses.

    At this time, Mr. Xu Ge said: "I got a first couplet by chance the day before yesterday, but I never thought of a suitable second couplet."

    "Yuan Fu, please tell me. We, a bunch of cobblers, can always stand up to three Zhuge Liangs." Yang Tianguan, a man with a gray beard, has a voice that can lift the roof.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    When Yang Bo heard this, he smiled and said: "This second line is not correct. I have to find the answer from the scriptures."

    ??Because it alludes to "Mencius", "It is enough to wash the tassel in the Qing Dynasty, and it is enough to take it by yourself."  ¡¯

    After thinking for a while, no one had a clue except Zhang Juzheng.

    "But Xianggong Zhang has a cold personality now, so naturally he wouldn't say anything if he knew about it.

    Wang Zongxian pointed at the big ribbons and said, "I see that the Number One Scholar has just smiled, so he must have it already."

    "Speak quickly." The big bosses urged the number one scholar in Jiajing for thirty-five years.

    Zhu Dashou couldn't resist, so he could only hold the teapot and said with a smile: "Xiaguan also just thought of it, 'The heat and cold are abnormal, drink water in summer and drink soup in winter.'"

    "Okay, okay!" Yang Bo kept his eyes slightly closed, patted his thigh after hearing this and said, "It's also an allusion to Mencius."

    "Mencius¡¤Gaozi" says, "Gongduzi said: In winter, you drink soup, and in summer, you drink water, but the food is also outside?"  ¡¯ Zhu Dashou used Mencius against Mencius, and the confrontation was neat and tidy, which can be called absolute.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front. Of course, each generation becomes stronger than the previous generation." "Zhu Qianlang" said with a kind smile.

    At this time, Meng Chong, the eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room, came in with a group of servants to deliver dinner.

    Hearing their conversation, he laughed and said, "We also have a couplet at home, please enlighten me."

    "Oh, Lao Meng can also make a pair?"

    Youdao should offend no one but the cook. These big guys who often dine in the palace are naturally very kind to Meng Chong.

    Then I saw Manager Meng opening the steaming food box, taking out a plate of braised seabass with both hands, placing it in front of Mr. Xu Ge, and said with a smile:

    "The bass has four gills and dominates Songjiang."?

    The originally warm atmosphere in the palace was immediately suffocated.

    The bosses said to themselves that this damn eunuch was probably insinuating that the descendants of the Xu family would become kings and hegemons in Songjiang

    Eunuch Meng, however, was still unaware and said with a naive smile:

    "This is the first tribute fish just sent from Jiangnan. Knowing that Yuan Fu thought the shad had too many spines, I specially changed it to the four-gill bass, a specialty of Songjiang."

    As he spoke, he held up the chopsticks with both hands and said, "This is the largest dish in the imperial dining room. Do you think it tastes good if you try it again?"

    "Thank you." Mr. Xu Ge naturally didn't know Qiqing, but he took the chopsticks but didn't move them. He was obviously still angry.

    At this time, the eunuch who came to deliver the meal placed various exquisite dinners on several tables in the hall.

    Fortunately, the cabinet ministers did not eat at the same table as the ministers, so the bosses took the opportunity to wash their hands and prepare to eat to escape this embarrassing place.

    Zhang Juzheng could not run away. He took the wet hand towel from the young eunuch, wiped his hands and said lightly:

    "I have a second line to tell Eunuch Meng."

    "Say it quickly," Meng Chong said with a naive smile.

    "Eight-legged crabs are rampant in all nine states of the world!" Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Meng, are you satisfied?"

    "Puch" The big guys couldn't help but laugh.  I think Mr. Zhang is really a cold-faced and smiling person who cares about the nurse

    Because eunuchs all like to eat crabs, it is said that it can cure bifurcation.  Liu Jin, the great eunuch of Emperor Wuzong's time, also had this hobby, and he and his accomplices ran rampant everywhere. Aren't they just like a group of crabs?

    Someone wrote a limerick and said sarcastically, "How long will I always look at crabs with cold eyes and see how long I can run wild?"  ¡¯

    Later, Liu Jin was executed by Ling Chi, and people compared the eunuch leaving the palace to "crabs running rampant".

    "Domineering, domineering." Meng Chong was bored by the rebuke, so he had to leave with a smile.

    ??~~

    When Meng Chong went out, Mr. Xu Ge had a smile on his face.

    He pointed at Zhang Juzheng with his chopsticks and said warmly: "Uncle, you are still young and unforgiving."

    "He just humiliated himself." Zhang Juzheng smiled coolly, then took down the plate of four-gill bass and said, "I don't want this fish anymore."

    "Hey." Xu Jie waved his hand, stopped him and said, "What's wrong with the bass?"

    With that said, he took off his chopsticks and ate with relish: "Every four-gill bass from Songjiang is precious and cannot be wasted."

    He couldn¡¯t eat it originally, but his good disciple vented his anger on his master¡¯s behalf, and Mr. Xu Ge was naturally able to show his magnanimity again.

    Seeing that his master finally ate that dish, Zhang Juzheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to enjoy his favorite anchovies.

    In his heart, he cursed inwardly, being as stupid as a castrated pig and trying to be smart!

    He originally wanted to stay out of the matter, so he didn't ask how the emperor wanted to play.

    But when he saw Meng Chong wink at him just now, he knew that this stupid pig was bringing delicious food with special ingredients to Mr. Xu Ge.

    The stupid pig had a heavy responsibility, but he was so talkative that he became so angry that the old man refused to use his chopsticks.  Seeing that I was about to screw up, I had to ask him for help

    Zhang Juzheng was naturally furious. Who are the people in this room?  They are all immortals who have become spirits!  Let them see the clues, and they can't explain it without Gu's explanation!

    ¡°But considering that if he doesn¡¯t help, this idiot will definitely continue his stupid behavior.

    Only then did Zhang Juzheng sneer at Meng Chong in a slightly vicious tone and help him save the day.
