With Zhu Ping'an taking the top spot, the ceremony of singing the list was over. After the official received the gold list, the musicians outside the palace began to play the song "Jiajing Chapter", and the civil and military officials and new Jinshi performed again. Kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, with everyone kneeling in obeisance, Emperor Jiajing returned to his Xiyuan in an imperial chariot, probably about to start refining elixirs again.
Jiajing returned to Xiyuan to refine elixirs. Officials from Honglu Temple handed the golden list to Xu Jie, the Minister of Rites, who opened it for verification and handed it over to Li Mo, the Minister of Personnel.
The nearby ministers also gathered around to watch the palace examination gold list. These ministers were very interested in this year's palace examination gold list. They knew long before the palace examination that Ouyang Zishi, Yan Song's nephew, was going to participate in the palace examination, and Yan Song presided over the reading of the palace examination papers again. He heard that during the palace examination examination, Mr. Yan Ge's nephew was ranked first. I thought that this time the number one scholar would be Ouyang Zishi, the nephew of Mr. Yan Ge. Unexpectedly, when the results were released in a blink of an eye, Mr. Yan Ge's nephew didn't even get the top prize, not to mention the top pick.
If you say that Mr. Yan Ge is selfless, they won't believe it. If Mr. Yan Ge is selfless, why would his nephew be ranked first after the review by the minister? ! Moreover, they heard that Zhu Ping'an, the number one scholar this time, also known as Hui Yuan, was only ranked eleventh after being reviewed by the minister. Originally, we didn’t even have the chance to be previewed by the Holy One, but who would have thought that God’s grace would come so great that our Holy One would actually have to review the first twenty papers.
Some officials who were angry at Yan Song but dared not speak out were happy to hear about the gold medal this time. Mr. Yan Ge was really too smart in his calculations, which cost his life. In the end, not only did he become the number one scholar, but his nephew But he only came in second place!
"Oh, Mr. Yan, please take this opportunity to take a look at the golden list. In a few moments we will hang it outside the gate of East Chang'an." The gray-bearded official holding the golden list had a smile on his face. He waved the gold medal in his hand to Mr. Yan Ge and asked very "sincerely". Li Mo knew all about the tricks of this palace examination.
It's almost provocative to mention which pot is not opened.
Zhu Pingan was a little curious about this gray-bearded official, who he was. These days, there are still officials who dare to confront Yan Song in public.
"Ahem, Mr. Li is really considerate and considerate of his elders. I am already in my seventies. At this old age, my hearing is also a little bad. Just now, there were a few people who didn't hear clearly during the audition. , Mr. Li’s words really speak to my heart. Then I will thank you.”
To the surprise of the gray-bearded official, Mr. Yan Song heard what he said. Not only did he not feel angry at all, but he looked at him with a rosy face, the way a grandfather looks at his grandson, and praised himself for being filial to the old man. And those who are still good at it want to see the gold list.
For a moment, the gray-bearded official was a little stunned. Well, shouldn't this old guy be ashamed?
Soon, a one-eyed fat man next to Yan Song came in more and more people. All the officials consciously stepped out of the way for him. Zhu Ping'an also knew that this one-eyed fat man was Yan Shifan, Yan Song's only son.
"Haha, Mr. Li is considerate. His filial piety is commendable. I thank Mr. Li on behalf of my father." Yan Shifan walked to the gray-bearded official with a mocking smile and arched his hand slightly. He performed the courtesy of a subordinate meeting a superior, but there was no respect at all on his face.
"Hmph." The gray-bearded official snorted coldly and put the gold medal in Yan Shifan's hand. Behind the gray-bearded official, there were many officials looking at Yan Shifan with the same hatred.
"That's it. Thank you..." Yan Shifan twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed loudly. A glimmer of darkness flashed in his single eye when he looked at the gray-bearded official.
In Yan Shifan's heart, Li Mo is becoming more and more unstoppable. Isn't it just that when Anda Khan attacked the capital last year, you were ordered to guard the Zhengyang Gate. Isn’t it because Sheng Shengsheng made you the Minister of Civil Service? It had only been less than a year since he had been the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he was already so restless. This old boy is even more arrogant than Xu Jie. Xu Jie has become much more sensible since he was beaten by his father last time and visited his house many times. Unexpectedly, Li Mo, an old man, had gained some sway and actually had some party members. It seemed like it was time to discuss with his father and give this old man a hard time.
Yan Shifan took the gold medal, returned to Yan Song, and handed the gold medal to his father.
Yan Song took the gold medal, opened it, looked at it, and then walked towards the new scholars standing at the foot of the steps with the gold medal in hand, aiming directly at Zhu Pingan, who was the leader.
"You are the number one scholar and the first person in the founding of the Ming Dynasty. You are more than 6 years younger than the youngest number one scholar in our dynasty, Jiangxi Fei Hong. It should be noted that Fei Hong was only the number one scholar at that time, and you are only fourteen this year. !" The most powerful boss in the Ming Dynasty besides Jiajing walked up to Zhu Pingan with a gold medal in hand, looked at Zhu Pingan and said.
Although Zhu Ping'an saw such a big boss like Yan Song coming to him, he couldn't help but become more respectful, saluting with both hands, as if he was listening carefully to the teachings, even though he didn't like Yan Song at all in his heart.
Yan Song looked very satisfied with Zhu Ping'an's courtesy and courtesy. He said that a child can be taught. He smoothed his beard with his hand, nodded and continued:
"You passed the examination at a young age. This is due to the wisdom of our saints. Naturally, it is also inseparable from your diligence and intelligence. I read the first paper for this palace examination. When I first looked at your examination paper, I felt that it was extraordinary. However, good fortune It’s a joke, but thanks to the Holy One’s wisdom, you must not disappoint the Holy One’s love for talents.”
"I sincerely follow your teachings." Zhu Pingan saluted with both hands and responded respectfully.
In the eyes of outsiders, Yan Song's heart-to-heart talk has a unique feeling of elders caring for younger generations, and Zhu Ping'an is also very cooperative, respectful and polite. It can be said to be a picture of love.
"Humph, you're a bird of a feather! You're young and don't learn well!" The gray-bearded Li Mo snorted coldly when he saw this, pointed at Sang and Huaihuai, looked away and said a leisurely sentence, and then led several officials around the place.
"I'm not feeling well. I'll let Zuo Shilang take charge of posting the list at East Chang'an Gate." After walking a few steps, Li Mo slightly arched his hands and said a few words, then led several officials to leave.
"Master Li, please go slowly without seeing him off. Take good care of your health. The staff will have to take care of Master Li." Yan Shifan said with a smile on the back of Li Mo and others who were leaving.
As soon as he finished speaking, it was obvious that Li Mo took an angry step when he heard the words. Yan Shifan laughed happily. There was a sinister air in his one eye, as if he was planning how to deal with this person who dared to fight with him. The old guy who was against his father.
When gods fight, mortals suffer!
The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond!
Listening to the words of the grey-bearded official, "We are all the same, we are too young to learn well", Zhu Ping'an felt like crying in his heart. This was just a fire at the city gate that affected the fish in the pond. It was an innocent disaster that happened out of thin air. He didn't even do anything, it seemed. He had already offended a big boss who dared to be an enemy of Yan Song.
According to Yan Shifan, the Ministry of Personnel has to worry about Mr. Li. Damn, this gray-bearded official must be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the promotion assessment of officials all over the world, and he has the same position as the Prime Minister and Assistant Minister.
By the way, you are too arbitrary, right? ! (To be continued.)
