The Jokhang imperial examination is also divided into county examination, government examination, hospital examination, township examination, general examination and palace examination.
Among them, the examination is also called "Chunwei", which occurs once every three years and is scheduled on the ninth, twelfth and fifteenth days of March in the Jozhao calendar.
Therefore, before Li Minsheng and others returned to Beijing, the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites was already actively preparing to recommend examiners for the upcoming spring in March, and even arranged the enclosed place needed to set the questions.
"Just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den, Mr. Li Ge and Mr. Liu are no longer alive after their hard work."
In the princess's residence, when they heard that Li Minsheng, Liu Wanshi and others had entered the Hanlin Academy and worked with other Hanlin officials to secretly write the questions and would not come out to preside over the exam until before the exam, Feng Xi, a salty fish, couldn't help but express her feelings.
After all, in her opinion, it was time to lie down after finally returning to Beijing. Why did she come to work again?
"Li Cifu takes people's livelihood as his own responsibility, and Liu Shangshu is also a loyal and down-to-earth person. My father chose them both as subjects to take the exam together. This may not necessarily mean that he does not want to reform the imperial examination and focus on the people's livelihood and natural disasters from the past simple talk and elegance. In this way, the DPRK will No one is more suitable than these two."
Qi Xiao sat next to Feng Xi, letting the girl lean against him like a boneless body, and his explanation voice was extremely gentle.
Although this country's affairs are difficult, his little Phoenix is not a stupid person. He feeds her a little every day and can always make her blend in.
Then he heard a certain Phoenix bypass state affairs with a clear mind and get straight to the essence:
"Oh, I understand, you are the chosen worker! Just like you, who are highly valued by me, you are weather-proof and free from all diseases. No matter what happens, it will not affect your work, right?"
Qi Xiao: "?"
It doesn't matter……
it does not matter……
Qi Xiao silently comforted himself in his mind, boiling a frog in warm water always requires effort and time that ordinary people don't know.
Right?
Feng Xi didn't know what Qi Xiao was thinking. Even because Qi Xiao had been ill for several days and had a lot of affairs at Dali Temple, she lived a happy life after Qi Xiao returned to the government office to run errands.
Finally, at the end of February, Dali Temple posted notices all over Shengjing, and without any suspense, Chu Ze, the eldest son of the Chu family, and the five criminal children were exiled.
Not only are family members and servants not allowed to follow along this journey, but they are also not allowed to carry too much property with them. Once discovered, all will be confiscated.
As a result, Mrs. Chu, who wanted to bring a large sum of gold and silver to her eldest son so that he could do some errands along the way, was immediately frustrated. After returning home, there was another big fuss.
In contrast, the Mu family and the other four families, with Mu Qingze in charge, appeared to be very abiding by the rules. Apart from the necessary money and clothing, they prepared nothing for the five criminal children.
Although the five of them cried hoarsely before leaving, especially the leader Mu Qing, as abandoned sons of the family, they lost value the moment they were caught.
It can be said that what happened to these six high-ranking disciples was like a loud slap directly on the faces of the established families in Shengjing.
As a result, their previous contempt for Feng Xi, their disdain for Qi Xiao, and their contempt for the Princess Protector's Palace disappeared at this moment.
While Chu Ze's six people were being dealt with, a large number of candidates for the entrance examination also arrived in Shengjing smoothly and settled in various inns, courtyards and guild halls.
For these candidates who are about to change their destiny through the imperial examination, or successfully enter the official career and contribute to the family, Shengjing is always novel.
The bustling main street, the Wuyi Lane lined with high-end gates, as well as the warblers and swallows, the flowing water, and the overt or covert olive branches of the major aristocratic families.
"To say that this literary gathering must be organized by the major aristocratic families in Beijing to be outstanding, we and others will not be able to meet the world if we gather casually like this."
"Two days ago, I watched the poetry meeting held at Shanngling Academy gathered many talented people, and I thought they were among the best. There is also the Mu family's library, which is really a treasure trove for literati!"
"Spring will be here in a few days, so you can just sit back and read books while you wait. You will be in and out of literary gatherings all day, be careful when the time comes and you will regret it if you lose your reputation!"
"Hahahaha, what do you know? Although Chunwei is good, my connections in Dazhao are equally important. That's all, you are a country bumpkin. It's okay not to know."
…
Amid the discussion among the scholars in the streets and alleys, the name of the elegant gathering in Shen Yuan on March 3 was like a spring breeze passing by, quickly sweeping through the entire Shengjing.
Elegant gatherings, as the name suggests, are gatherings where literati recite poetry and discuss knowledge.
Any literary gathering that can be called an elegant gathering is basically a gathering of literati and elegant scholars.
However, it would only be enough if only famous Confucian officials came. However, this Shenyuan elegant gathering not only included famous Confucian officials, but also the younger generation who are famous in the court today.
Prince, prince, princess, official, talented woman...
Every one of them listed can make the scholar who has just entered Shengjing excited.
Not to mention that the Mighty General's Mansion, which hosted this cultural gathering, also released news that fifty of the Chunwei poets would be selected to be included in the collection with poems and essays, and they would have a banquet with a group of nobles.
For a time, the reputation of the Mighty General's Mansion became so great that every day scholars came to submit poems and essays. Shen Ge, the Major General's courteous and virtuous corporal, was even more famous for his thirst for talents.
"Second sister, please help me beg grandpa, please help me beg him? I promised others to go, and now they can go, why should I be locked up in this yard?"
In the three-bedroom courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, Xie Langzheng was holding Xie Wanyin's hand tightly, his eyes full of prayers.
He has been locked up in this yard for more than half a month. If he continues like this, he will go crazy!
"Alang..."
Seeing Xie Lang in front of him with unkempt hair and bloodshot eyes, who was no longer as dashing as he was last year, Xie Wanyin felt a pain in his heart.
She is obviously a close relative by blood, why is she, Feng Xi, like this?
The day before yesterday, she went to her grandfather's courtyard and heard that the other party didn't even want to get close to her grandfather, and seemed determined to cut off contact with the Xie family.
In this case, what reason can she have to meet Ah Xiao in the future?
So the moment she saw the invitation to Shen Yuan's elegant gathering, she knew she had to go.
She must go...
If she didn't go, it might be difficult for her to get a second chance.
"Second sister, did you hear me? I'm going to Shen Garden, I'm going to Shen Garden Gathering!"
Seeing Xie Lang holding his hand tighter and tighter, Xie Wanyin finally pulled it out with force and said in a cold voice:
"Alang, don't be willful anymore. Let's not forget that it is the emperor's intention to punish you for six months. Even if grandpa can intercede for you, you'd better not appear in front of Princess Protector."
Xie Lang's eyes immediately turned red when he heard the words Princess Protector.
Feng Xi is going too?
She had made him and his father like this, and she actually wanted to attend the gathering decently?
Why!
The moment Xie Wanyin stepped out of the courtyard, Su and Yu, who had been guarding the side room, immediately rushed into the room because Xie Lang, who was already mentally unstable, started breaking things again.
Seeing this scene, Su Shi, whose eyes had been swollen from crying these days, once again shed two lines of tears.
While patting her son's back, she thought bitterly about the message her father sent the day before yesterday.
Feng Xi is so cruel that she deserves to make enemies everywhere.
Soon, after this spring, she, Feng Xi, will definitely receive retribution!
