The Little First Grand Secretary in My House

As night fell, the hall test of the Baohe Temple was over, and the examination of the Jiyi Temple was just beginning.

The Superintendent was Jin Yiwei's commander Du Jipeng. He personally took the box from the recipient, and opened it in public on the table.

This time the readers consisted of six senior officials and several high-ranking officials. In the cabinet, except for Senior Minister Wu and Fei Qian, all of them came. In addition, there are a total of ten readers, including Shang Shu Yin Nian of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Zhao Liangyu, the secretary of the Hongyun Temple, and Ruan Chengjie, the wine of Guozijian.

Du Jipeng took out the examination papers and distributed them in turn.

There are three hundred test papers in Yiyougong, which is three hundred.

This time, both Xu Gelao and Tan Liang did not leave any excuses like old age and decay as before. Instead, they put two more candlesticks on the table and picked up the paper for reading. .

After reading a copy, the reader will circulate the paper to the next reader, and it will be regarded as the end of the turn. After the reader reads a copy, he has to leave his opinions on the corner of the roll. These opinions are generally expressed as ‘circles’, ‘dots’, ‘vertical’ and ‘crosses’.

In fact, the rules of the examination papers are learned from the hall examination. The hall examination is more complicated and pays more attention because of the larger number of readers.

For example, these readers do not look down when they raise their heads, and they generally do not scan the face too much. If the first reader reads the ‘dot’ symbol on the test paper, the people behind will certainly not draw circles.

Circle drawing means that you think this test is good, you think it is good, and others think it is not good. This is not because you do n’t give face to each other, and you do n’t have to fight each other.

Of course, there will definitely be no fights, and only another reviewer will be sent to review the test again, subject to the review of the chief reviewer. Under normal circumstances, the readers will not find this trouble for themselves.

So it means that it is very important who the paper will be in the first place. At least for a Gongshi, whether he can enter the top two depends on his luck on the first officer.

At this time, the ten readers seem to be reading the paper seriously, but most of them are looking for a paper.

This paper is Xue Tingyan's.

Before coming, some people had read Xue Tingyan's handwriting, so as long as the paper was in hand, it could be recognized, but the paper did not fall into the hands of the person who wanted to find the paper, but in the hands of Zhao Liangyu, the secretary of Hongyun Temple.

Zhao Liangyu got the test paper and looked at it. Let's not look at the content first, but to see if there are any taboos or mistakes. The general examination is like this.

After a quick glance, Zhao Liangyu nodded in satisfaction, before carefully reading the content. After reading it, I am more satisfied. This volume of articles is first-class, and it will not appear to be fake and empty. And in extolling the virtue of today, it is not too much ink, too overwhelming, but not too little, but just right.

Regardless of the aspect, this volume is notable, and it is not included in the top sorry article. He drew a circle on the corner and signed his surname after the circle.

Sitting on his right hand is Feng Chengbao, and as soon as the roll starts, Feng Chengbao will recognize who the roll is. It's best to draw a big fork naturally as he wanted, but he didn't want to make it too obvious, so he hesitated to read the paper.

After reading it again, hesitation is even heavier. If the test paper is too bad for him, Yin Nian is sitting on his right. Yin Nian has always been a stubborn person and has never dealt with him. If he disagrees with him and gives him a first-class evaluation, it will not be a good thing.

Feng Chengbao looked to the right, and Yin Nian was next to Shen Xue. Although Shen Xue never interacted with the elders of the court, the two were in-laws, so he should stand on the side of the elder Wu.

Even if Shen Xue didn't give his face, next to Shen Xue was Ruan Chengjie, who was their person, and naturally recognized Xue Tingyan's handwriting. On the right side of Ruan Chengjie is Han Lin Yuan's assistant Bao Ming, who is also theirs.

If he gives a circle, even if he doesn't count on Shen Xue, there are two who won't make a circle. The test papers for the top three, namely the first armor, must be eight ‘laps’, so as long as the people behind give random evaluations that are not laps, Xue Tingyan wo n’t be able to enter the top armor.

This time, his task is to prevent Xue Tingyan from entering the head armor. As long as he is not the top three, the paper will not reach Jiacheng Emperor, and his task is considered completed. In this way, you will not show yourself, but you can achieve your goals.

In order to ensure that in case, he handed the paper to Shen Xue after the circle, he also gave him a special look.

Feng Chengbao didn't see if Shen Xue could see it, because he had handed the paper again on the left, so he pretended to look at the paper seriously. However, Yu Guang in the corner of his eyes saw Shen Xue drawing a pen on the paper after reading the paper. Seeing this, he made a big decision in his heart and put it into the paper carefully.

Ruan Chengjie took the paper from Shen Xue. Upon closer inspection, he recognized Xue Tingyan ’s handwriting. Seeing the two circles and a dot on it, he also guessed the meaning of Feng Gelao. He did n’t look at the paper carefully. A point was drawn on it and given to Bao Ming below.

At the same time, in the Qing Palace, Xue Tingyan's lost manuscript was in the hands of Emperor Jiacheng.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, the candlelight was bright, and the faint ambergris spit out of the gilt-footed three-legged incense burner at one corner.

Emperor Jiacheng's face was erratic, his eyes shone with different light, and his eyes were betting on that piece of paper from time to time.

This paper is really not decent, with many alterations on it, but you can see what was written. It was precisely those words that were altered at first glance, which made Emperor Jiacheng sit alone for nearly half an hour, pacing back and forth from time to time, and seeing that his heart was surging, Zheng Ancheng wanted to move forward several times to see, Did not dare to step forward.

"Zheng Ancheng."

"The minions are here."

"Go and tell Xu Shoufu again, make sure that Xue Tingyan's paper is delivered to me."

"Yes."

At this time, the Jiyi Temple was quiet, and only the sound of paper turning and occasional tea drinking could be heard. A little **** came to Xu Shoufu with the tea cup. Xu Shoufu glanced at him, and then he sighed: "It is not as good as your young people to have a lot of firepower, so sit down and come when the old man goes."

Xu Shoufu was the chief reviewer and the first assistant. All the readers put down the papers in their hands and bowed to him. After he left, he continued to look at the papers again.

Not long after, Xu Shoufu came back, and Xue Tingyan's paper had already arrived in Bao Ming's hands. Bao Ming naturally wanted to draw some points. After the painting, the scroll would flow to the right.

In this way, Xue Tingyan finished reading the paper.

After a busy day, before the next night, all the papers in the hall test were considered to be finished.

The next step is to evaluate the paper. First, select more than eight circles. Then, the number of circles is the main point for evaluating the paper. Those with the same number of circles are compared with each other, and then compared, and so on.

It ’s also a coincidence this time. There are only two of those who have more than eight laps, that is to say, only two people are selected for the top armor. Ranked No. 1 in the ranking, No. 2 and No. 1

The stack of examination papers in the seven circles was quickly selected, and Feng Chengbao felt a little uneasy in his heart, but did not take it seriously. He did not think that Xue Tingyan had such good luck, except for Shen Xue, Ruan Chengjie and Bao Ming, but as long as there was a person behind the circle, he still missed the top three.

After some comparison, the winners of the seven circles were quickly selected, and it was precisely Xue Tingyan's paper.

In fact, there is still an excellent person, but unfortunately Xue Tingyan has three points, and the other party has two points and one vertical, but still loses a little.

Feng Chengbao didn't show up on his face, but he was extremely angry. Where does he know that those who draw circles later read the first two reviews, and can get two circles, the essence of the article is definitely good, the reason why they will get some points later, mostly because the vegetables and radishes each have their own reason.

Of course, there are other reasons.

Feng Chengbao watched Xu Shoufu send three exam papers and sent people to Qianqing Palace, still thinking about how to explain to Wu Ge. Of course, the last thing I regret is why I am afraid of getting into trouble, so I deliberately draw a circle.

A lap away, the situation is turned upside down.

Not to mention here, Emperor Jiacheng got three exam papers.

Seeing one of the exam papers, he laughed. After laughing, he ordered Zheng Ancheng to take the manuscript paper.

Looking at it again, Emperor Jiacheng looked angry and angry, and after a while he whispered, "This kid really knows how to hide."

Zheng Ancheng was still wondering why His Majesty made this remark, and he saw Emperor Jiacheng holding up the Zhu pen and wrote on the first fold of that test paper: First place first.

And let Zheng Ancheng hold the seal and leave a mark on it.

Zheng Ancheng glanced at the situation and happened to see Xue Tingyan's name. He immediately had some idea of ​​how this newly-entered champion was pleased by his majesty.

You should know that many major events have occurred in the DPRK and China recently. Your Majesty Dragon Heart has been displeased for a few days.

In the early morning of the next day, three hundred new tributaries gathered in front of the palace.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the pale white morning mist lingered, but it could not cover the faces of the new tributaries who were eager to try.

In fact, just as they can show this, all the year-round complaints of being a Beijing official said that it was too early. Ushio was going up, Yinshi was about to get up, and the one who lived farther away from the Forbidden City, even got up in the middle of the night, groping to come up and up.

The East is gradually getting a touch of red glow, and the sky finally faded to gray, indicating that today will be a cloudless good weather.

With the solemn bells, the five doors on the noon gate opened at the same time.

The common people only say that the noon gate of the main entrance of the Forbidden City has only three door openings. In fact, outside the three door openings, there are also left and right tucked doors, but the left and right tucked doors are rarely opened, so there are three things.

Today, the Emperor Jiacheng held a ceremony at the Taihe Temple. At this time, the natural portal opened, which also represented the importance and envelopment of the emperors to the talents in the world.

A courteous officer sang, and the civil and military officials brought the tribute to the audience.

Still like the day of the temple test, Xue Tingyan started, led other 299 tributes, and followed behind the hundred officials into the deep doorway.

They walked through the left door.

According to the regulations, Baiguan walked through the left door, and the royal prince walked through the right door. Only the emperor can enter and leave the main entrance. The emperor can enter once when the emperor is married. Of course, there is another exception, that is, after the Golden Temple passed on, the No. 1 champion, No. 2 and No. 1 can go once.

This is the supreme glory, even if it ranks among Jiuqing and above 10,000 people under one person, if it is not a serious imperial examination, and it has won a first place in the imperial examination, it can only look to the ocean.

The door hole is dark and deep, plus there are people in front and behind, so when you go out, there is a special feeling of bright eyes.

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the row of halogen books arranged to make people awe-inspiring. The Taile Department set up to neutralize both sides of Shao Le and the main hall, as well as the golden armor that made people dizzy, etc., all showing The majesty of imperial power.

Under the mobilization of the Hongyun Temple officials, these new tributaries let kneel and kneel up. During this period, the civil and military officials entered the Taihe Hall in order.

I don't know how long it has passed. Xu Shoufu took the emperor's list out of the Taihe Hall and placed it in the Yellow Case in front of the palace. With the sound of music, Xu Shoufu retired, and an official from Hongyun Temple declared: "Fengtian Carries the Emperor's System: The second day of June in the second year of the unitary year. He tests the world's tribute, the first and the second, and the second. Born, the third armor is given to Jinshi. "

After a pause, it seemed that he wanted everyone to digest these words before the official went on to preach again: "The first place in the Yiyounian Temple is the first, Xue Tingyan."

"The first place in the Yiyounian Temple was first place, Xue Tingyan—"

"... First place first, Xue Tingyan—"

"The first place in the Yiyounian Temple was first place, Xue Tingyan—"

Three hundred tributes kneeled on the square under the Great Hall of the Taihe Temple. The Great Hall was about tens of meters long, and the officials of Hongya Temple stood on the platform above the Great Hall. Rely on a personal relay.

At this time, the relay went from above to below without any pause, and a huge stream of sound echoed through the entire sky. It seemed that the ears were full of Xue Tingyan's name.

According to the system, one head and three heads are to be called three times.

The above is still going on. Xue Tingyan is not surprised, but he has a sense of deafness and his head is swollen. Behind him were all envious gazes, as if all eyes on the field were gathered on him.

At this time, an official from Hongyun Temple came up and whispered to him: "Zhuang Yuanlang, don't be dazed, come out and thank you."

Xue Tingyan hurriedly walked to the middle royal road, lifted the hem of his robe, first knelt three times and knocked, then thanked.

The entire Golden Temple passed on for a long time before it ended.

The officials of the ceremony welcomed the gold list and hung it outside the Meridian Gate, and handed it over to the cabinet three days later. Here, the first three of the top one were led by Hongyun Temple officials to change their clothes, only to cross the Mayou Street afterwards.

The original dark blue jinshi costume was replaced with a vermilion kimono, and the leather belt around the waist was replaced with a silver belt. Even the black gauze hat had two hairpins. This is Xue Tingyan's second hairpin flower. The last time was the rural test, but at that time it was one flower, and this time it became one on each side.

When he came out from inside, he saw Xinke's list of eyes and search flowers. A little thirty, with a white face and a small beard, tall and burly, is Lu Shenming. The other face was black and thin, and it looked like forty years. It was Meng Haochang.

The two are the same as him, both in red clothes, and the hairpins are also on the black yarn hat, but they are one left and one right.

Xue Tingyan felt much more comfortable immediately, and specifically called the inner attendant to take a mirror and take another picture of himself, focusing on the location of the hairpin on his head.

Well, he was born with a gentle and beautiful life, and won at a young age. Even the hairpin flowers are romantic and handsome. As for the other two, it is impossible to elaborate.

Xue Tingyan didn't say, but the little eunuchs who were serving on the side were already holding a smile, all because of the flowers of Bang Yan and Tan Han, it was really inappropriate.

Especially the flower Meng Haochang, who is already black, also had a big red flower, how to look strange. But these are not what they can do to set their beaks, but they think so in their hearts. It is the young champion who can complement each other if they get a flower, and don't know how disappointed a woman in Beijing looking at Tan Hualang this year.

It is not to be said that the three of them led out of the palace from the main entrance of the Meridian Gate under the guidance of officials of the Ministry of Rites. During the red banquet across the horse to the Shuntian House banquet, it is not a detailed list.

After the feast, the beginning of the Golden Street Crossing Horse Tour.

Zhengyangmen Street is full of men, women and children looking at the bustling, and the second floor of the teahouse along the street is full of people.

As the gongs and drums made their way, three tall-headed horses carrying new champions, ranking eyes, and Tanhua came. They were followed by colorful flags, card battles, and soldiers responsible for maintaining order.

I saw Zhuang Yuanlang at the front of the horse, behind the list of eyes and Tan Hua. They are all in a robe, wearing golden flowers and wearing red.

"Zhuang Yuanlang is here ..."

"Tan Hualang ..."

A scream screamed off the prelude of the Golden Street across the Mayou. No matter the men, women and children are looking at the three men with their eyes bright, there are actually many young and beautiful women.

What I usually dare not dare to say, there are no taboos today, and even some women carry flower baskets filled with flowers in their hands. When they see someone passing by in front of them, they grab the flowers and throw them there.

The main goal is still the No. 1 champion. At first glance, the list looks old. Tan Hua is a black and thin man. Only No. 1 Yuen Lang is young and handsome, and he hasn't married yet. That red dress was lined by a tall horse, and immediately looked like a god, and it was beautiful.

"Good handsome champion ..."

Where did Xue Tingyan have experienced this situation, especially women, all kinds of flowers, handkerchiefs and sachets came from the sky, he was hiding in awkwardness.

Zhuang Yuanlang's embarrassment caused a chuckle. The eyes on both sides and the flowers are envious, only hate why the father and mother do not give themselves a good skin.

On the second floor of a restaurant, Zhao'er also took Hong'er to see the excitement.

Hong'er lay on the railing and shouted there, but he shouted several times, but none of them could pass into Xue Tingyan's ear.

"Mother, why did father ignore me?"

"So many people, your dad can't hear it."

"Why wouldn't you hear it? Then I called louder." He said Honger was lying on the railing and shouted with his throat: "Dad! Daddy! I am a puppy, you look at me quickly, I it's here."
