Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Cruel person!

Liu Hai, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, and others saw Wang Yue scolding Liu Jian in this way, and they couldn't help but swallowed silently, and at the same time secretly gave a thumbs up.

I have seen crazy people, but I have never seen such crazy people. Even Liu Jian, a senior prime minister and a minister of Qingliu leader, dare not look down on him.

Coupled with the preaching they just met, and now bullying Liu Jian again and again, the Hongzhi Dynasty really has returned a tough minister.

"You... are vulgar!" Liu Jian was a word minister who paid attention to his image after all. He held it in for a long time before retorting.

"If you have any dissatisfaction, you can impeach me. I believe that Your Majesty will know who is loyal and who is traitorous!" Wang Yue said lightly, and then his eyes fell on Ye Qian, the official of the Ministry of Etiquette who made the report: "Ye Qian , since you thought it was inappropriate for me to take the case of Hou Huichang as a major issue, why didn't you say anything inside, but now you have complained to Minister Liu, you are really a villain!"

Ye Qian originally wanted to smile and please Wang Yue, but Wang Yue directly labeled him as a villain, and his whole face suddenly turned as red as pig liver.

Traitor? Villain?

Liu Hai, the prime minister of Shuntian Prefecture, and other officials looked at each other in confusion. The former called Liu Jian a traitor, while the latter pointed directly at the villain Ye Qian. They couldn't help but look at the two doormats with pity.

At this point, they have truly experienced the frankness and arrogance of the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he has no mercy at all when he confronts others.

With a ruthless man like Wang Yue returning to the court, the court in the second year of Hongzhi will probably be full of excitement.

Wang Yue didn't want to waste time on such a person, so he waved his hand calmly: "It's getting late, get it done as soon as possible, go home early, and open the seal and fill in the list!"

The officials present felt the domineering aura exuding from Wang Yue, and immediately accepted the order and said yes.

The candidate information on the ink scroll has been sealed. Now you only need to remove the seal to see the candidate's information and confirm the high school candidate's identity.

Since there is no scientific examination in the general examination, there will naturally be no deputy list of the general examination. According to the traditional practice of the general examination, the seal will be unveiled starting from the 600th place.

Wang Yue sat at the head seat of the Zigong Hall and continued to drink tea leisurely again, supervising these officials to open the seals and fill in the list according to their ranking.

Time is money, and it shows in this moment.

When the seal was opened, not only were the officials recording the results, but also several clerks nearby were dividing their duties. One of them was responsible for quickly copying down the candidates' information on a piece of paper.

It's a sunny day today, and the corridor of Gongyuan is bathed in the morning sun.

A yamen officer was running down the long corridor to the outside with the note he had just received from the clerk of Zhigongtang. Twenty teams of news reporting teams were already standing at the gate of Shuntian Gongyuan.

A clerk sitting at the desk at the door took the note and quickly copied a fresh "good news", and then handed the good news to the leader of one of the teams reporting the good news.

"Everyone, follow me, Jiangxi Guild Hall!" After the leader of the team saw the candidate's address, he immediately went to announce the good news with drums and gongs.

As a government official for one prefecture and two counties, they will rely on this job of announcing good news every three years to increase their income, which can also be regarded as a benefit for them as an official in the capital.

Today's Beijing city is like celebrating a festival, and the place where the official passed by to announce the good news is particularly lively.

"Good news for the master of Lianzhou Prefecture in Guangdong, Chen Baoshanhe, the 600th place in the high school Enke examination, the top saint in the Jinluan Palace!"

"Good news for the master of Ganzhou Prefecture in Jiangxi Province. His name is loud and clear. He ranked 599th in the high school Enke Examination. He is a saint in the Golden Palace!"

"Good news for the master of Wuchang Prefecture in Huguang, Lin Yuanda, ranked 598th in the high school Enke Examination, and is the top saint in the Jinluan Hall!"

…

The team announcing the good news shuttles through the city of Beijing. Candidates live far and near, and the team bringing the good news earns more or less, which also has a lot of luck.

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen for being named on the gold list and having a prosperous official career!"

"I congratulate Mr. Zhang on being named on the gold list and making a lot of money!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin for being named on the gold medal list and rising to prominence!"

…

Many people in Beijing have also taken action, but they will stay at the street corners and follow the good news team to the residences of high school candidates to ask for rewards or meals.

As long as the high school graduates will become the most powerful group of non-commissioned officers in the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of flattery will follow, so the action is naturally very generous.

Dongsheng Inn is deathly silent and seems incompatible with the outside world.

Snapped!

The waiter has wiped the table for the fourth time. There were only six tables of guests left at the original eight tables. He even killed a fly on an empty table.

The top 600 finished and no one was in high school.

The top five hundred finished, and no one was in high school.

The top four hundred finished, and no one was in high school.

…

Shopkeeper Zhang got up early this morning and deliberately killed chickens to worship the gods. However, firecrackers had been set off several times in the surrounding inns, but there was still no movement at his inn.

"Are we really going to fail?"

Chen Shou was already in his early forties and decided to take the examination for the last time. Since he knew his own level, he asked with more and more despair.

"It seems I have no hope!" Haikuan said bitterly, knowing that his chances were slim.

Although he is from Guangzhou, because his grandfather Hai Da'er was incorporated into the Qiongzhou Zuowei, his family had already moved to Qiongzhou Prefecture.

It's just that Qiongzhou Prefecture is located on a remote island, and the teaching level is far worse than that of Guangzhou, not only compared to Jiangnan. The college examinations in other prefectures are all held in their own cities, but the college examinations in Qiongzhou Prefecture require you to take a boat across the sea to Leizhou City to take the exam.

It was already not easy for him to pass the imperial examination in Guangdong, but now he felt that he was unable to achieve the imperial examination in the capital.

Because of this, he also retreated in his heart, borrowing money in the capital to win the illusory Jinshi title, it would be better to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Hou Que earlier.

Although it is impossible to reach the level of Jia Jun in recruiting people into an official position, and without background, he will end up as a county magistrate, but it is still an official position. Perhaps God has already destined him to live a mediocre life.

"Don't be discouraged, the six of us might be at the top of the list!" Gao Kui was unsure, but he still cheered everyone up.

Tan Bo glanced at this side with disdain, but he looked confident of winning.

Since he failed in the second test, he knew that it was unlikely that he would be able to go to high school. Now that the good news was all about getting into the top 200, he could say that he had no hope at all.

It's just that I can't go to high school this time, and these guys from Guangdong can't win either, and I must win the bet just now.

It’s over!

Shopkeeper Zhang originally wanted to rely on this group of candidates to make a comeback, but when he saw that the good news was already running toward a hundred people, the door was still empty, but he knew that he had lost the bet this time.

Why is my daughter weighing 200 pounds? This is not because I feed her on purpose, but because I marry a wife who is only heavy. The inn that I had bought in exchange for my own happiness was now about to be destroyed.

"There's really no hope!"

When Chen Shou heard that the number had exceeded one hundred, he suddenly murmured to himself with despair.

This is already his fourth joint examination. He has worked hard for the title of Jinshi, but so far he has not been able to fulfill his earlier wish. He is destined to fail this time.

He comes from an ordinary family and has spent all his family resources on studying. Although he won the imperial examination at the age of twenty-four, it took many years and now, at thirty-six, he still cannot achieve the title of Jinshi.

On the contrary, I came to the capital many years ago to prepare for the exam, and I owed a lot of debts to the capital. Now, even if I choose to become an official, I still don't know when my debts will be paid off.

Eighty!

Seventy!

Sixty!

…

The process of announcing the good news seemed to be getting faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, there were already thirty people.

Initially, there were eight tables in the front hall, but now only the last three tables are left, but there is no longer any hope.

"Haha... How about it? Accept defeat and go to Beizhen Fusi to shout twice!" Tan Bo opened the paper fan in his hand and looked gloating.

this……

Chen Shou and others then remembered the bet they had just made, and couldn't help but look at each other in shock.

As fate would have it, all six of them failed in this high school exam with the highest probability, as if they were possessed by an evil spirit.

"What? It's rare for the six of you to regret it?" Tan Bo couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Xu Hong sighed secretly, and seemed willing to admit defeat and said: "Okay, let's go to Beizhen Fusi to fulfill the bet!"

Haikuan and the other five people also sighed secretly, then stood up and prepared to go to Beizhen Fusi. Now is the time of depression. Since Beizhen Fusi arrested them without asking any questions, why don't they scold Commander Zhu.

Bang!

At this moment, there was sudden movement at the door.

Shopkeeper Zhang immediately jumped up from his chair and walked towards the door looking overjoyed.

Xu Hong and others did not expect the unexpected turn of events, and immediately looked happily at the official who announced the good news at the door.

"Wrong, it's next door!"

Just as the people in the front hall were waiting for the announcement, a ruthless voice suddenly shattered everything.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Hong and others were immediately heartbroken.

Tan Bo let out a long sigh of relief. Since he was destined to fail, he naturally couldn't see the kindness of Xu Hong and others, so he smiled slightly and said: "You should be among the top 20 now, and you have no chance at all." , move quickly!”

"When the scolding is over, you run in front of me and I will help you cut off the rear. Miss Qian is very good, don't let her down!" Hai Kuan treated Xu Hong like a younger brother, but he whispered.

Xu Hong actually knew that Miss Qian was interested in him, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought that he was just a poor scholar now.

Bang!

It was at this moment that another familiar sound came from the door.

Shopkeeper Zhang knew that he had gone to the wrong place, and was about to tell Dongyang Inn that it was next door, but a cadre dressed in red came in and asked, "Is Gao Kui, the master of Gaozhou Prefecture in Guangdong, here?"

ah?

As soon as these words came out, everyone who had just stood up looked at Gao Kui.

Gao Kui was neither tall nor burly, but a short young man. His whole figure seemed to suddenly come to a sudden halt. His eyes were staring blankly at the cadre who announced the good news, but he found that the world had become unreal.

When the official who announced the good news saw that he had found the rightful owner, he immediately reported the good news: "Good news for the master of Gaozhou Prefecture in Guangdong, Gao Baokui, the 19th place in the high school Enke examination, the top saint of Jinluan Hall!"

hateful!

When Tan Bo saw that the little man in front of him actually won the 19th place, he felt as if a thorn had been stabbed in his heart.

"Reward money!" Gao Kui finally reacted and began to distribute the wedding money that he had prepared.

The door of Dongsheng Inn, which had been empty just now, was now crowded with people from the capital asking for rewards, and Gao Kui began to generously distribute wedding money as if he was drunk.

Shopkeeper Zhang originally thought that the three packets of firecrackers he had prepared were a waste, but now that he saw Jinshi finally coming out of his inn, he immediately asked the waiter to take out all three packets of firecrackers and burn them.

But before the first firecrackers were burned, another team came to announce the good news, and the one from the high school turned out to be Zhang Sui, a young man who had been silent here.

I originally thought it was over, but another team of government officials came to announce the good news: "Good news for the master of Guangzhou Prefecture in Guangdong, Xu Baohong, the third place in the high school Enke examination, the top saint of Jinluan Hall!"

Third place?

Zhang Hong had actually thought that he might win earlier, but he never imagined that his ranking would be so high, and he didn't even dare to think so in his dreams.

No...not true!

Tan Bo saw that the young man he hated the most was ranked third in the high school exam. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he really didn't want to accept this result.

When the good news is finished here, it can almost be declared that the good news is over.

No one expected that Dongsheng Inn would have three names among the twenty on the list. This kind of strong performance is probably the only one in the entire capital.

Xu Hong's ranking is even third. If he were ranked according to the palace examination, he would already be the top one.

Dongsheng Inn was originally unknown, but now it suddenly has three Jinshi who are in the top twenty in the examination, and it is destined to become one of the best choices for next year's candidates.

fine! At least I didn’t lose the bet!

Tan Bo held his chest for a while, finally regaining his composure, and felt much better. Fortunately, there were three of them who accompanied him when he failed, otherwise he might not have survived.

Shopkeeper Zhang and others found out that Hui Yuan had fallen on a Jiangxi province official. Just as shopkeeper Zhang was preparing to hold a banquet to celebrate, three news teams suddenly appeared at the door at the same time.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"The top pick has already come out, why are there still others?"

"Isn't it a liar, but it's too late?"

…

When Xu Hong and others saw the three teams of government officials appearing at the same time to announce the good news, they were not surprised at all. Instead, they looked at the sudden appearance of these people with vigilance.

Coming again?

Tan Bo saw three teams of government officials announcing the good news, but he recognized one of them who had just arrived. He suddenly felt a stab of pain in his heart, and a bad premonition suddenly came to his heart.

"Good news for the master of Qiongzhou Prefecture in Guangdong Province. He is broad-minded. He is ranked 601st in the high school entrance examination. He is a saint in the Golden Palace!"

"Good news, the master of Leizhou Prefecture in Guangdong, Chen Yishou, ranked 602nd in the high school Enke Examination, and is the top saint of Jinluan Hall!"

"Good news, the master of Chaozhou Prefecture in Guangdong, Weng Yupeng, is the 603rd in the high school Enke Examination, the top saint of Jinluan Hall!"

…

The officer who announced the good news looked at the people here who were looking at each other. He seemed to know what they were thinking, but he still carried out the good news according to the good news he had just received.
