Wang Ziteng is leaving Beijing.
There is such an opportunity to make demands in front of the emperor,
Of course I don’t want to, and I can’t waste it.
When he heard that he had something to do, Emperor Jingshun said softly, "Oh?"
He remained calm and waited for Wang Ziteng to finish speaking.
"My in-law, Jia Zheng of Rongguo, has a nephew named Jia Hua."
Regarding the matter of Jia Yucun, Jia Zheng not only wrote the memorial himself.
He also mentioned it to Wang Ziteng many times.
"He was a Jinshi and had great talents. However, he was ostracized and impeached because he was disrespectful to his superiors because of his talent."
Wang Ziteng had already met Jia Yucun and had a good impression of him.
Emperor Jingshun was also somewhat impressed when he heard this and said, "Ai Qing is talking about the person Jia Cunzhou recommended in his previous memorial?"
"Yes, it turns out that the Holy One has paid attention to him, so I won't go into details."
Prince Teng stops as soon as possible.
"I have some impression of this."
Emperor Jingshun actually didn't want to agree directly.
But thinking that Wang Ziteng was about to leave Beijing, he still added:
"Don't worry, my dear, I won't let the real talents be buried."
This is almost the same as agreeing directly.
It seems that today was not in vain.
Wang Ziteng hurriedly saluted: "The Holy One is a man of talent, comparable to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty."
"Then Ai Qing is not Yu's Li Jing?"
…………
Time turned and it was already the fifth day of April.
Today is the honor banquet that all new scholars will attend.
Although the Enrong Banquet was a gift from the emperor, the emperor generally did not attend it in person.
It is usually organized by the Ministry of Rites and hosted by a distinguished courtier.
In addition to the new scholars, the participants also included the examiners and deacons of the current subjects.
Feng Yibo and Zhou Jun arrived at the scene early and first received the hairpin bronze medal at the entrance.
This is an honor of Enrong Banquet, but unfortunately we can’t take pictures.
The two were wearing bronze medals when they saw Liu Zheng walking towards them.
This guy's hairpin is different from everyone else's.
You can tell at a glance that the patterns are intricate and the flowers are larger than theirs. .
The treatment of the top pick is indeed different.
"Brother Haoran looks good!"
Looking at the tanned Liu Haoran, Feng Yibo couldn't help but tease him.
On the second day after the list was released, they went to court to express their gratitude.
Only Liu Haoran, the top pick, was left alone.
Afterwards, he was taken away by the Ministry of Rites.
When he appeared again, he was wearing a red robe, wearing a palace flower in his hat, riding a tall horse, and patrolling the imperial streets of the capital.
He praised his officials for three days and received the attention of all the people in the capital.
"Stop making fun of me."
Liu Haoran has been in the limelight these days, and he has heard a lot of sarcastic remarks.
I have long been immune to such jokes.
He came here because he had something to say to Feng Yibo.
With a wink, the two of them came to a corner.
"Yibo, have you heard anything recently?"
"what news?"
Feng Yibo and Tong Nian didn't move around much, so only Zhou Jun could talk to him.
Zhou Jun has been busy socializing in groups these days, and he didn't go even after being called several times.
"It seems you really don't know!"
Seeing that he didn't know, Liu Haoran suddenly said angrily:
"It's strange that you can reach the top grade at a young age. You really don't hear what's going on outside the window!"
Seeing that Feng Yibo was still puzzled, Liu Haoran sighed:
"In the past few days, people have been saying that my reputation as the number one scholar is not worthy of my name!"
Feng Yibo laughed and said: "Brother Haoran is joking. This is the order of His Majesty Zhu Biao. Who dares to question it like this?"
Liu Haoran looked around and saw no one was coming, so he continued:
"I also heard about it when I was praising the official, and later asked someone to confirm it."
After saying this, he hesitated for a moment and finally said:
"I don't know why you offended the Supreme Emperor. On the day when the results of the imperial examination were released, he sent someone to depose you."
"But the current emperor can't bear to bury your talents, so he only demoted you two to give an account to the Supreme Emperor."
Feng Yibo had a question mark on his face.
What interaction could he have with the Supreme Emperor?
To say that he offended the Supreme Emperor is too flattering, right?
"So now people are spreading rumors about Emperor Zhu's approval of the changes. You should be careful about how you handle it at the Enrong Banquet later."
Seeing Liu Haoran's solemn face, Feng Yibo's thoughts changed.
Although he still had no clue, he looked at Liu Haoran first.
"Brother Haoran, aren't you afraid that I will really offend the Supreme Emperor?"
Liu Haoran smiled freely when he heard this.
"What does that have to do with me? I only read the books of sages and don't know anything else."
Feng Yibo sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Haoran, for telling me, although I don't know if I have really offended the Supreme Emperor."
Liu Haoran said solemnly: "Although I dare not say that this is entirely true, it is also eight percent credible."
"Because the source of this news is a cabinet minister in the court."
"Thank you for telling the truth!"
Feng Yibo once again raised his hand to thank him and said sincerely: "Brother Haoran is truly a gentleman."
"No, no, no, no, this news is not a secret."
Liu Haoran waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "The matter of Emperor Zhu's approval of Yi has been spread among the scholars, but most of them don't know the specific situation."
Regardless of whether Liu Haoran was sincere or fake, he accepted this love.
Especially this news is not good for him, but it still goes as planned.
They advanced and retreated together at the Enrong Banquet and shared the news with themselves.
You can see his big heart.
The two came to the venue, which was arranged by the Ministry of Etiquette.
The Lord sat on a Taishi chair, and many people were milling around.
As soon as the two of them appeared, they attracted a lot of attention.
Especially Liu Zheng, he is not as low-key as Feng Yibo.
Almost no one doesn't know him.
Of course, he couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to.
This is the treatment of the top pick.
At this time, an official from the Ministry of Rites brought an elegant middle-aged man.
The three of them exchanged names, and this person was none other than Yang Mingxin, who was ranked second in the list.
Under the arrangement of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the three of them went to pay homage to the master.
Sitting on the Grand Master's chair, the chief minister of the cabinet, was Zhang Songyue.
The three people paid their respects in order.
At the end of the visit between the No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick, Zhang Songyue just smiled and nodded.
When it was Feng Yuan's turn, he quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply.
"Disciple Feng Yuan pays homage to his master."
"Are you Feng Yuan? You are indeed a talented person!"
Zhang Songyue stretched out his hand to help him slightly, which made everyone confused.
Just now, the top pick and the second pick paid their respects, but they didn't even move.
Now that we have reached Tanhua, we are not just talking.
Still reaching out?
Then Zhang Songyue said with a smile on his face: "I like your article very much. The views are extremely pragmatic and in line with the teachings of the saints. It is really excellent."
boom!
This compliment was like a depth charge.
It was basically confirmed that Emperor Zhu Pi changed things!
"Thank you, teacher."
Feng Yibo couldn't say another word at this time.
Whatever he says is easily amplified.
After the banquet, Feng Yibo felt extremely uncomfortable eating.
Almost all eyes were focused on him.
Liu Haoran couldn't help but joked in a low voice: "This is what it feels like to be the number one scholar, isn't it good?"
Feng Yibo replied softly and softly: "Not bad, you also feel the feeling of being a flower today, right?"
Yang Xinming, who was between the two, suddenly interjected in a low voice: "That's wrong! It's time for Tanhua Lang to discuss his appearance."
It is said that the origin of the term "Tanhua Lang" is that the most handsome Jinshi were first selected as "Tanhua Envoy".
Responsible for picking flowers from the garden to welcome the champion.
So it’s not wrong to say that about appearance.
Yang Mingxin raised his head, looked around at the two people, and grinned.
A pun: "So shouldn't it be me?"
