Chapter 57: The sun and the moon shine brightly, I am the only one to make the Ming Dynasty
The news that Yun Zhao is going to hold some kind of congress in Lantian has completely spread.
Although this news is still a legend to ordinary people in Ming Dynasty.
However, there has been a stir among the scholar community.
When Emperor Chongzhen knew the news, it was already very late.
After reading the announcement issued by Yun Zhao, he once again fell into deep silence.
When he went to court the next day, facing the silent officials, Chongzhen summoned up his energy to give instructions on the Keluncai Ceremony of Guiwei in the 16th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.
And it has unprecedentedly elevated this ethical ceremony to an unprecedented height.
That is to say, new scholars are exempted from the period of political observation. If they are truly talented, they can take office immediately.
This time, the emperor personally served as the examiner of the Luncai Ceremony. All scholars who came to Beijing to take the examination were the disciples of the emperor. In the past, only those who participated in the palace examination had this honor.
Not only that, all those who are on the top three imperial lists are qualified to participate in the Jiangshan Banquet. Faces of saints, wearing red clothes, and riding horses in the streets are all part of the meaning of the title.
What was decided in the morning, by noon, the imperial list had been posted in the capital.
This incident spread equally quickly. Three days later, there was a rare Di newspaper on Yun Zhao's desktop, asking Guanzhong to prepare for the scientific examination. All scholars preparing to go to Beijing to take the examination, No one can stop it.
Since Guanzhong has not held any college or rural examinations for many years, the status of scholars cannot be distinguished. The imperial court specifically allowed students in the lower college of Yushan Academy to have the status of student members, and students in the upper college to have the status of tribute students. Students with the status of tribute students can Go directly to the capital to participate in the examination...
"Send this out and post it in Yushan Academy. At the same time, post it at the yamen gates everywhere. Be sure to make it known to everyone."
p>Yun Zhao thought for a moment, smiled silently, and gave Pei Zhong an order.
Pei Zhong whispered: "Nowadays, the students in Yushan Academy are not as pure as when we were in school. Some of them should go to the capital to take the examination."
Yun Zhao waved tiredly. He waved his hand and said: "Those who want to take the exam, according to the examples of each province, those who should be given money for travel expenses should pay the travel expenses, and those who should be sent out buses should send buses to take them to the capital safely.
Your Majesty is full of peace. We have to understand that for more than ten years, His Majesty has worked hard for the people and listened to the government, and he has always hoped that the Ming Dynasty will get better. Now that things have happened, we should not make things difficult for him. It is not a bad thing to give him some comfort.
Pei Zhong replied: "Don't stop me, don't persecute me, give me travel expenses and buses, and fulfill your majesty's last sweet dream."
Yun Zhao nodded, and Pei Zhong left quickly. Done.
When the imperial list appeared in Yushan Academy, it did not arouse the interest of many people. Only a few people stopped in front of the imperial list for a moment, and then dispersed with smiles.
Not enough, Mu Tiantao stood in front of the imperial list and looked at it for a long time.
When I went to the cafeteria to eat in the evening, I met Zhu Aona and Liang Ying.
Since arriving in Lantian, Zhu Yuluo may have greatly increased her activity and appetite. In addition, Liang Ying is a glutton herself. At this time, Zhu Yuluo has lost the look of a thin little girl. The charm that a girl should have has been revealed.
During these times, Zhu Yuluo and Mu Tiantao got very close. In Liang Ying's opinion, the two people were already in love with each other, but they were always very polite and not as popular as other lovers in Yushan Academy. Just wild.
"I decided to go to the capital to participate in the examination!"
Mu Tiantao put half of the pig's feet in his bowl on Zhu Yuyao's rice plate, and then used a spoon to scoop out the broth and pour it over Transparent white rice, today is the beginning of the month, there is white rice and meat to eat.
Liang Ying wanted to take the pears that Mu Tiantao was holding, but Mu Tiantao opened them with a slap and pushed them to Zhu Ainao.
Zhu Yuluo whispered: "You are not a Gongsheng student. How can you take the exam? If you really want to go, I can ask grandpa for help."
Mu Tiantao shook his head and said : "No, the upper school students of Yushan Academy are similar to the tribute students. This is clearly stated on the imperial list."
Liang Ying said in surprise: "Doesn't it mean that I and Ainao are also qualified to go to the capital? Exam? Hahaha, it would be so fun if I got the top prize - to save Li Lang from home,
Who would have thought that he would be the top pick on the yellow list,
the top pick would wear a red robe,< /p>
It’s so cool to wear palace flowers in hats (wow)
So fresh (how)
I don’t want to show off my reputation by getting the top prize.
I did not take the exam to become a high-ranking official.
For the passionate Mr. Li,
The couple’s love makes them happy.
I also went there. After the Qionglin Banquet,
I also beat the horse in front of the street..."
Mu Tiantao and Zhu Ainao looked at the opera singer Liang Ying like a fool, in the cafeteria The other classmates who were eating also stopped their chopsticks and looked at Liang Ying like an idiot.
After Liang Ying sang a section, she really couldn’t sing anymore, so she had to sit down and eat.
"The number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty is not that easy to win!"
Mu Tiantao sighed and continued to eat his meal.
Zhu Yulao said: "Yes, we all learn different things. Guanzhong has not taught Eight-part essay for more than ten years. If my father still takes the Eight-part essay this time in the scientific examination, the people in Yushan Academy will It's hard to get ahead."
Mu Tiantao shook his head and said: "I haven't given up my eight-parted style in these years, so I should give it a try."
Zhu Yuyao said: "You are from Prince Mu's Mansion. , you don’t need to take the scientific examination, my father will also pardon you and grant you an official position.”
Mu Tiantao shook his head and said: “The Ming Dynasty is already in turmoil, and I don’t want to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty anymore. I want to be an official, but I need to fight for this official position myself, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."
Zhu Yuyao was silent for a moment and said: "I will accompany you all the way back. I think that as long as I am here, Yun Zhao will not chase you."
Mu Tiantao smiled and said: "You underestimate the county magistrate, he He wouldn't do such dirty things. If he was a dirty person, how could you live so carefree in the past two years?
So, Yun Zhao's rebellious spirit is well known to everyone, but , Yun Zhao’s respect for His Majesty is also known to everyone.
Don’t worry, if I go to the capital to participate in the examination, Lantian will send a bus to take us there. ”
"Eh? Besides you, is there anyone else?"
"You underestimate the imperial court's ceremony. Not only will I go, but also those scholars from the south and southeast of the Yangtze River who come to Yushan Academy to study." , After all, this is a great opportunity to change your status as a student of Yushan Academy to a scholar."
Zhu Aona said: "In this case, I should follow you all the way back to the capital. After all, I am. When I return to the capital, Yun Zhao will definitely send soldiers and horses to protect me, and at the same time, he can also protect you."
Mu Tiantao laughed and said, "I am going to go alone and bring a spear. , a long knife, a hard bow and a pot of arrows, walking around the capital. If you meet thieves along the way, you will kill them. If you meet bandits, you will suppress them. If you can kill one by one, you will live up to my name as Mu Tiantao. ”
Looking at Mu Tiantao’s high-spirited appearance, Zhu Ailao couldn’t help but her eyes turned red. She suppressed the tears that were about to flow and said, “I’ll come as soon as I can.”
Liang Ying. Lying on the rice plate, he looked at Mu Tiantao and said, "If you are willing to stay in our Lantian, I can consider marrying you."
Mu Tiantao said expressionlessly: "I'm just afraid of you. You are planning to flee the capital only after marrying me."
Liang Ying snorted and said, "I can see that you want to be the prince-consort."
It's natural for Mu Tiantao. He nodded and said: "I'm very good, it's not a loss to be her consort."
Liang Ying sighed and said: "With Xia Wanchun gone, there is not even one person in this class of students who can restrict you. "
Mu Tiantao said: "You should be from the Secret Intelligence Department, right?"
Liang Ying nodded and said: "You are here to protect my concubine. Don't tell me. She, otherwise she wouldn't be able to bear it."
Mu Tiantao said, "I've seen it a long time ago. You've tricked me many times."
Liang Ying spread her hands and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. It would be a loss for such a good woman like Zhu Yura to marry someone else."
"It would be a loss to marry Xia Wanchun?"
"What do you think? They The two of them are not in the same race. It would be a great misfortune for Auntie to marry Xia Wanchun. I think you should understand this. "
"Compensate me!"
Mu Tiantao pushed the rice plate away and said it very happily.
"I have a box of grenades that I have saved for a long time. I give them to you."
"Not enough."
"I can help You buy a short gun, but you have to pay for it."
“Okay, give it to me!”
“No, I won’t give it to you until you leave Guanzhong. What if you have evil intentions and want to assassinate the county magistrate? "
Mu Tiantao raised his head and thought for a long time before shaking his head resolutely: "I will not assassinate the county magistrate, absolutely not!"
"Why, since you want to surrender to the emperor? , the county magistrate is your biggest enemy."
Mu Tiantao said: "I went to the capital just to repay the royal family's kindness to my Mu family. I don't know how to save the world. I’m not sure. If I die in battle, there should be a hero who can save all the people from the fire.”
Eh? You know you're going to fail, but you still go? Do you know what kind of future you will have if you stay in Lantian? "
Mu Tiantao smiled, spread his hands on the table and said to Liang Ying word by word: "In the hundreds of years since the Ming Dynasty, there should always be some loyal ministers and filial sons who died for him. That's what I, Mu Tiantao, am like. A loyal minister and filial son. "
Seeing Zhu Yulao coming, Liang Ying swallowed her words of admonishment. She understood that Mu Tiantao was not talking to her in the conversation just now, but to the Secret Service. In other words, it was said to Yun Zhao.
“We went to see the mountain chief, expressed our wishes, and then left Yushan Academy for the capital. ”
Mu Tiantao didn’t talk to Liang Ying anymore. He felt that what needed to be said had been made very clear. Now he just wanted to leave Yushan Academy quickly and experience the troubled times of the Ming Dynasty alone. .
In the evening, Yun Zhao had a list in hand. There were many people going to the capital to attend the Luncai Ceremony. Judging from the list, there were 17 people in total. The top of the list was It's Mu Tiantao's name.
"What a pity..."
Yun Zhao sighed slightly and gave the list to Pei Zhong to operate.
He likes young people with Mu Tiantao's personality very much. He thinks that he was a person with this kind of personality back then. Nowadays, most of the people in high positions in Lantian are young people with this kind of personality.
In this world, it is because of countless young people like this that the Ming Dynasty was able to shout out the famous saying that shocked the ages - the sun and the moon shine brightly, only I am the Ming Dynasty!
