As soon as the Tengu eclipse sun came out, the whole capital was in an uproar.
Countless impeachment memorials flew towards Li Yunze, basically impeaching Qin Tianjian.
The reason is very simple, because Qin Tianjian failed to calculate this solar eclipse through the calendar.
In this ignorant age, an eclipse of the sun by Tengu was considered a bad omen.
Qin Tianjian calculated it in advance and it was okay to be mentally prepared.
If we don't calculate it now, it will naturally become a broken drum beaten by thousands of people.
Quite naturally, rumors began to appear about the emperor's immorality and God's warning.
There was no way, this was already the case since Li Yunze was determined to save the Ming Dynasty instead of becoming an emperor who met the standards of the civil servants.
The standard image of an emperor in the minds of civil servants is that of ruling with dignity and without doing anything.
The emperor can just be a mascot and leave everything to them.
Li Yunze was unwilling and wanted to pull Daming out of the quagmire. Naturally, he offended many people.
Now it is completely normal to take advantage of the Tengu eclipse to criticize.
Looking at the pile of impeachment memorials on the desk, which was more than a foot thick, Li Yunze directly waved his hand and said, "Take them all. There is no need to send other impeachment memorials in the future."
Tengu eclipsing the sun is a natural astronomical phenomenon. If others don't understand it, how can they still understand it?
He knew very well that the official plan was to impeach Qin Tianjian, but as long as he agreed, there would be a large-scale effort to persuade him to relax his suppression of the parasites, otherwise God would bring another disaster.
As long as these guys can find a small gap, they will immediately drill a big hole.
"Draw up the decree and order Xu Guangqi to also take charge of Qin Tianjian."
There is no problem for Xu Guangqi to also be in charge of Qin Tianjian as the elder of the pavilion, and it is still very suitable.
Li Yunze's only worry was that Mr. Xu Ge should not introduce those missionaries to him.
After all, Li Yunze doesn't have the slightest fondness for those guys who are missionaries on the surface but are thieves and spies secretly.
China's three unique technologies of tea, silk, and porcelain were stolen by them.
"It has been spread throughout the world that the Tengu eclipse sun appears in the north by east, which is a warning from heaven. The Tartars are a serious concern of our Ming Dynasty, and it signals that I will destroy the Tartars. I have responded to the warning from heaven, and I will march to conquer it in person in the near future!"
After arranging these things, Li Yunze focused on the imperial examination.
"What do Hong Chengchou and others say? Have the results come out?"
"Master Hong and Master Sun are already waiting outside the palace."
"Come in."
Hong Chengchou and Sun Zhixian came in with a lot of test papers.
"Long live, this Enke examination has ended." Hong Chengchou presented the list of test papers in his hand. "This is the ranking drawn up by the ministers. Long live your approval."
After receiving many test papers, Li Yunze opened the one on top without any nonsense.
The name has been revealed and it is Jian Shiguang, a native of Shanyin, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Li Yunze said that he had never heard of this name.
Opening the test paper, the part about the Ming Dynasty Law can only be said to be quite satisfactory. What really stands out is that the handwriting is very beautiful, and the eight-part essay is also extremely neat.
As for the arithmetic, geography, history, etc. that Li Yunze specially added, he wrote quite well on history and wrote a large chapter citing classics.
Arithmetic is barely qualified, and geography is obviously at the elementary level.
After all, it is the first place chosen by the examiners, so it can be considered as having real materials.
Putting down the paper, "Where is Gu Yanwu's?"
"That's the third one." Hong Chengchou responded, "The test paper is very good. Seeing that he is young, I think it is more suitable to take the top prize."
The eighteen-year-old Tanhua Lang is already very impressive.
Li Yunze did not respond and directly took out Gu Yanwu's paper and opened it.
After that, he carefully read through all the papers sent by Hong Chengchou and others, and then took out a piece of paper with names written on them and compared them one by one.
"Where is Chen Zilong's paper?"
Hong Chengchou was startled when he heard the name, and subconsciously looked at Sun Zhixian beside him.
When the examiners were discussing the paper before, Chen Zilong did well in his paper, but he spoke out boldly and denounced many shortcomings. He made everyone unhappy but did not dare to dismiss him easily.
It was Sun Zhixian who said that Chen Zilong was a remnant of Donglin, and if he were chosen, he would make Wan live unhappy.
Someone asked in confusion, "If he is unhappy, why should he be allowed to take the exam?" '
Sun Zhixian, who was full of confidence, responded, "Without him, show the Holy Ener." '
Only then did everyone decide to depose him.
Now it's okay, Li Yunze didn't do it to show his divine grace at all, he just wanted to read Chen Zilong's paper.
There was no other way. As the examiner, Hong Chengchou could only bite the bullet and respond, "There are many arbitrary words in this person's papers and he has been dismissed."
"bring here."
On the day when Enke released the results, the entire capital was in a state of agitation.
The scholars who came from all over the world to take the exam were all restless, waiting for the verdict of their fate.
Since the emergence of the imperial examination, this has been the best way for poor children to leap over the dragon gate.
Otherwise, it would be to go to the battlefield and fight with your life.
In the eyes of many scholars, going to the battlefield is not as easy and safe as studying.
When the results were about to be released, no scholar could remain calm.
Even Gu Yanwu, who had been praised by Li Yunze in person and was almost certain to win, kept drinking water nervously.
"Brother Ning Ren, you must be in high school, why are you nervous?" In the Zhuangyuan Building, some familiar scholars were joking and joking. Everyone smiled with different expressions when they heard this.
At such a tense moment, I didn't know whether I had won or not, but Gu Yanwu was almost certain to go to high school, so his emotions were really mixed.
Most of the scholars gathered at Gongyuan to wait for first-hand news, while those with good reputations or confidence gathered at the Zhuangyuan Building with an excellent name.
Everyone teased Gu Yanwu, who had changed his courtesy name from Zhongqing to Ningren, to relieve the tension.
How could he be given a fan by a saint at such a young age?
The three people at the same table as Gu Yanwu had a good relationship, and they also made jokes to relieve the pressure in their hearts.
From time to time, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers can be heard outside, and the announcer shouts that Mr. So-and-so is in high school, which will cause a burst of cheers.
Watching the scholars downstairs one after another leaving the Zhuangyuan Building and rushing to the Gongyuan, the people on the third floor became more and more nervous, and no one even dared to speak.
Chen Zilong, who has the most free and easy mentality and thinks it is impossible, joked with a smile, "Brothers, what is going on? Where has the pride in the world gone? Is it all wasted in Zuiyue Tower?"
The scholars smiled one after another and forced jokes to show that they didn't care.
While they were chatting and joking awkwardly, they heard the noise of gongs and drums coming from outside again, and the firecrackers that had been prepared were immediately lit in the Zhuangyuan Building.
Amid the commotion, the messenger ran up to the third floor and shouted, "Congratulations to Mr. Xiang Fu Shi Ke Fa Shi, who is ranked ninth in the second grade of high school!"
Shi Kefa, who was sitting in the corner, stood up in disbelief.
He really didn't expect that he would actually get hit.
Chen Zilong, who was sitting opposite him, also stood up with a smile and raised his hands, "Congratulations, brother Xian."
People all around rushed forward to congratulate him.
"We are happy together, we are happy together." Shi Kefa quickly took out the silver coins and handed them to the person who brought the good news.
When he sat down again, Shi Kefa, who had shaken off his previous depressed mood, sincerely took care of his friend, "Don't be impatient, brother among men, you will definitely win."
Chen Zilong shook his head calmly, "I know my own family affairs, and there are many shocking theories written on the examination paper. The examiners are blind before they choose me. Brother Xian, please go to Gongyuan as soon as possible."
"No."
The stubborn Shi Kefa immediately shook his head, "I want to wait for my brother to go to high school together!"
While he was talking, another good news came: "Congratulations to Mr. Wuxi Duyinxidu, the second and third place in the high school!"
Du Yinxi, who was sitting on Gu Yanwu's left hand side, looked up to the sky and roared.
Everyone who had been congratulating Shi Kefa before flocked to Du Yinxi's side and started to praise and envy him again.
It didn't take long at all. Before the firecrackers lit for Du Yinxi were set off, the person who brought the good news climbed to the third floor again.
"Congratulations to Laiyang Zuomaodi Zuo, the first place in the second grade of high school!"
Zuo Maodi, who was sitting opposite Gu Yanwu, sat there in a daze.
He's actually in high school, and he's still ranked number one in the second division!
Everyone around him turned to congratulate him, and everything he saw was smiling.
"Okay, okay." It wasn't until someone reminded him that Zuo Maodi finally came to his senses and hurriedly took out his silver coins to reward the person who reported the good news.
Many scholars surrounded Zuo Maodi and Du Yinxi, and all kinds of congratulatory words were like a torrent of rivers.
Reaching the sky in one step, that’s what I mean.
Gu Yanwu quietly put his hands under the table. He was afraid that others would see his trembling hands.
There are four people in a house, two of whom are in high school. If he fails in the end...
"Brother Ning Ren," Xia Yunyi, who was sitting on his right, smiled and comforted, "Don't be impatient, I believe you will..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a new sound of firecrackers downstairs.
The sound of "thump thump thump" footsteps directly raised the hearts of everyone on the third floor.
The red-faced messenger rushed up to the third floor, and was greeted by many eyes that seemed to swallow him up.
Taking a heavy breath, the messenger shouted loudly, "Congratulations to Master Xia Yunyi of Huating, third place in the first class of high school!"
'Wow~~~'
When Zuo Maodi High School passed the news just now, everyone was already in awe.
I didn’t expect that Tanhua actually came from here!
Xia Yunyi, who was comforting Gu Yanwu before, suddenly jumped up after a brief daze, "Hahahahahaha~~~Hahahahaha~~~"
Jumping and jumping, like a madman.
Zuo Maodi, who had calmed down a little, smiled and took out the silver reward and gave it to the person who brought the good news.
At this moment, the expression everyone looked at Gu Yanwu was extremely exciting.
The sage personally gave him the fan, and the examiners said it was a workable material.
However, at this time, the good news had been announced for Tanhua, but Gu Yanwu's good news had not yet arrived.
If this fails, it will become a laughing stock.
Some people have even begun to whisper, "The fan given to Tang Yin by the saint is an allusion." '
Gu Yanwu wiped his forehead with trembling hands, sweating profusely, and was so nervous that he couldn't even speak.
This pressure is really too much.
In an extremely weird atmosphere, everyone suddenly heard firecrackers being lit again outside.
As the sound of footsteps going up the stairs came, everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to Gu Yanwu.
If it weren't you again, wouldn't you want an eighteen-year-old number one scholar? In other words, have you really failed?
The messenger rushed up to the third floor and took a few deep breaths.
"Congratulations to Mr. Gu Yanwu of Kunshan, for ranking second in the first grade of high school!"
As if it was an agreement, many scholars on the third floor breathed a sigh of relief.
This huge suspense has finally come to an end.
Gu Yanwu, whose heart was trembling, bent over the table, covered his face and cried bitterly.
There was so much pressure that once I was able to let it out, I really couldn't control my emotions.
Everyone looked strange, they had already reported the good news that they were in second place, and there was only one top pick left. In other words, most of the people on the third floor have already failed.
At this time, not many people came forward to congratulate Gu Yanwu, they just looked at the table with envy.
The chief shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Building looked at the table with a smile.
There are four students sitting at this table. They are ranked second in high school, third in the top three, and there is also a second and third place in Chuanlu.
There is no doubt that if you want to sit at this table in the future, the price will increase.
What's a little regretful is that if the third place in the second tier is the top pick, that would be perfect. The drinks and dishes were sold at ten times the price and there were still people sitting down.
In the corner, Chen Zilong, who had already looked away, picked up the wine glass with a smile, "Brother Xian, congratulations."
Shi Kefa looked sad and indignant, "Why! My brother is outstanding in talent and learning, he is deeply aware of the suffering of the people, and he dares to plead for the people. Why did he fail?!"
Chen Zilong was very free and easy, "This is God's will, we will wait..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the crackling sound of firecrackers outside the building again.
Lighting firecrackers at this time when the second place on the list is already in the rankings...he is the top pick!
