    Although it is already January, the capital is still covered in snow. It would be better if there is no wind. Once the north wind blows, people don't have to think about going out.  ¡°I don¡¯t know if it was God¡¯s good will, but on the day when Emperor Tianqi went to the banquet, the weather was unusually clear and there was no wind at all.  Stepping on the thick snow makes a crunching sound, and taking a deep breath, the cold air directly enters your lungs, making you feel refreshed.  At this time, Emperor Tianqi was wearing a mink fur hat, a mink fur gown, and rhinoceros skin cotton boots, dressed like a rich man.  The eyes have a pair of black eyes, which are worth a lot of money at a glance.  By the side of Emperor Tianqi, two teams of guards were closely guarding him, all of whom were members of the Imperial Guard¡¯s Beijing camp.  Although they were all wearing plain clothes, they still had a fierce look on their faces, and everyone held a knife in their hand.  There were fifty people in total, intimidating everyone on the street.  But no one noticed that wherever Emperor Tianqi passed by, this street would be very lively.  There were countless vendors selling candied haws, while others were selling dog-skin plasters. Anyway, these people were all following Emperor Tianqi.  These are also the imperial guards in the palace, with a total of five hundred people, all of whom are used to protect the safety of Emperor Tianqi.  Looking around, Emperor Tianqi smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling quite helpless.  The last time I took the eldest princess Zhu Wanjun out of the palace, everything went smoothly, but once the little girl was too happy, so she told the story.  As a result, the Queen Mother was furious. Not only did she ground Zhu Wanjun, but Emperor Tianqi also wanted to greet the Queen Mother when he left the palace.  The current situation was the result of greeting the Queen Mother. Surrounded by more than 500 people, Emperor Tianqi really found it boring.  "Chen Lin, how far is it?" At this time, Emperor Tianqi only had one eunuch with him, and that was Chen Lin. As for Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi stayed in the palace.  "Go back to the young master, just turn around! If you are tired, young master, please find a proud man!" After saying that, Chen Lin looked back and saw a proud man in the crowd who was being carried by four people.  Follow, that is the proud man specially prepared for Emperor Tianqi. As long as Chen Lin waves, he will come over immediately.  Glancing at Chen Lin, Emperor Tianqi didn't say anything. Chen Lin's arrangement naturally couldn't be concealed from Emperor Tianqi.  After waving to the man selling candied haws on the street, Emperor Tianqi suddenly had a look of nostalgia on his face.  The guard pretending to be selling candied haws on a stick ran over with a smile on his face, with a philistine look on his face that only a hawker could have. He came to the side of Emperor Tianqi and said with a flattering smile: "Sir, do you want to eat candied haws on a stick? Small candied haws on this street.  The best!" He reached out and took a bunch of candied haws, and Emperor Tianqi took a bite. It tasted really good.  Looking back at Chen Lin, he ordered: "Take them all! You carry them!" Chen Lin naturally did not dare to say anything, so he took the candied haws on his shoulders and followed the steps of Emperor Tianqi with a smile.  Not far away, Emperor Tianqi finally saw the place where he was attending the party, but Chen Lin beside Emperor Tianqi frowned.  The three-story building looked very simple and elegant, but he knew that it was the most high-end hospital in the capital.  Looking at the huge plaque with great interest, the words Yingchun Tower were particularly conspicuous, and Emperor Tianqi also guessed where this place was.  Emperor Tianqi was not surprised. In this era, scholars often allowed themselves to be romantic, and it was also an elegant thing to hang out in brothels and Chu houses.  Emperor Tianqi was about to approach, when Chen Lin on the side suddenly came over, his face flushed, and he said with an embarrassed look: "Young Master, this is not the place for Young Master to go! Once the news leaks out, I'm afraid there will be trouble!  " After hearing Chen Lin's words, Emperor Tianqi was also stunned, and his mind began to spin.  Now that there are so many people around, this news must not be hidden.  Song Huizong was obsessed with a prostitute, and people were still talking about it after so many years. He couldn't let go of this reputation!  After lowering his head and pondering for a long time, Emperor Tianqi nodded gently, looked at Chen Lin and said, "What you said is true. I am a loyal slave. Remember to receive the reward when you go back!" "Thank you, young master!" Chen Lin suddenly showed a smile on his face.  He was overjoyed, and his hanging heart returned to his stomach. When he saw Emperor Tianqi turning to leave, Chen Lin quickly said: "Young Master, since you have come to keep the appointment, let someone go in to meet several young masters. Make an appointment with them  Going to the restaurant on the side, I wonder what the young master is thinking?" Looking back, Emperor Tianqi slowly shook his head and sighed: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Since they are so interested, how can they do it to others?  They lost their interest. We walked around and went back to the palace when we were tired! " "Yes, Master!" Chen Lin's face showed joy, he bowed respectfully and led the way.  Come to rush, and return, maybe it may be.The emperor is like this now.  Since that day, Emperor Tianqi has not left the palace, and there is nothing going on in the court. The general examination has begun, and the martial arts examination has also begun.  No one from the upper or lower court officials has caused trouble to Emperor Tianqi for the time being, and Emperor Tianqi is happy and at ease.  Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye it¡¯s already March, which is the time of spring.  The imperial examination was held every three years in the Ming Dynasty. In the autumn and August of the first year, scholars from all prefectures and counties went to the provincial capitals to take part in the provincial examinations and examine candidates, which was called Qiuwei; in the spring of the second year, in February, all provinces selected candidates  The Imperial College students went to Beijing to take the joint examination and were awarded the title of Gongshi. Then in March, they took the imperial examination and passed the exam and were awarded the title of Jinshi. This is called chunwei.  March 15th was the time for the palace examination. Emperor Tianqi stayed in the Huangji Hall, and the tributes took the exam in the east and west verandas of the Huangji Hall. The Minister of Rites, the Minister of Finance Chong Ti Tiao, the cabinet ministers and ministers, and the Hanlin bachelor's degree.  The examiner is the examiner and the examiner is the invigilator.  All the tributes had excitement on their faces. After years of studying hard, they could finally stand in the Huangji Palace today.  Many people even had tears in their eyes and looked at the dragon throne of Emperor Tianqi with a sullen face, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.  The Emperor of Tianqi ascended to the palace, the cleansing whip and the salute were fired, the deacons brought in the proposal and put the topic on the big case in front of the emperor, the tributes paid five bows and three kowtows to the big case, and then removed the hall and examined the paper-reading officer and promoted the tune.  All the civil and military officials other than the officials filed away, and the tributes went to the seats set up on the east and west sides of the Huangji Hall to answer questions and take the exam.  The exam began soon. Emperor Tianqi sat on his chair bored, his eyes scanning back and forth among the crowd.  Soon I found the three familiar faces, Wen Zhenmeng, Ni Yuanlu and Lu Xiangsheng.  However, the three of them did not dare to raise their heads. Even if they did, they would flash by without recognizing Emperor Tianqi.  Emperor Tianqi felt that it was really boring. No one spoke in the hall, and he could only hear the sound of writing.  I glanced at the people around me out of boredom and found that everyone was sitting with serious expressions on their faces, so I had to change my posture to do it properly.  It finally came to an end, and Emperor Tianqi paid no attention to anyone. After the matter came to an end, he returned to his palace.  Anyway, the results will be released in three days, so I have plenty of time to do whatever I want.  The day after the imperial examination, the major teahouses and restaurants in the capital suddenly became lively. There were groups of Xinke tributes everywhere, making friends and company. It was the spring breeze.  No wonder they felt as if they had received an amnesty. Just to test themselves as a scholar, there were three examinations: the county examination, the government examination, and the college examination. Then the provincial examination examined candidates, then the examination of the Ministry of Rites, and finally the emperor's personal palace examination. After these examinations, he was really immortal.  Also sheds skin.  As for the results of the palace examination, the tribute scholars are not too worried, because the number of tribute scholars admitted in the general examination is generally about 300, and the top three in the palace examination are considered Jinshi, and more than 50 people in the second, top and third families are Jinshi.  There are more than 200 people with the same background as Jinshi, and the total number is almost the same as the total number of examinations.  ??In other words, those who passed the joint examination can basically be admitted as Jinshi by winning the gold list, and since then they have become the most valuable group of people in the civil service system of the Ming Dynasty.  It seems that the game has aura of strength, aura of wisdom, and aura of recovery. As for those who are not Jinshi, they have various negative statuses and have already lost before the game starts.  On the third day after the palace examination, Wangjiang Tower was already full of people, and many new ministers gathered together, making it extremely lively.  There were no lyrics on each floor of Wangjiang Tower, and all were changed to storytelling. The story was about Lu Mengzheng, the number one scholar, paying homage to the prime minister. It was in line with the wishes of all the tributes, and the winnings were several times more than usual.  In front of a table in the corner of the second floor, three people were sitting there with smiles. Although they all looked very calm, you could still see a bit of anxiety in their eyes.  "Brother Wen, I will definitely be able to get a title on the gold list this time and show off my ambitions!" The young man sitting in the south had a smile on his face, and he was obviously in a very good mood. Except for special circumstances, they would be top three at worst.  The person called Brother Wen was none other than Wen Zhenmeng. At this time, he was already in his forties. He had passed the examination ten times and spent thirty years!  Hearing Ni Yuanlu's comforting words, Wen Zhenmeng showed an embarrassed smile on his face, and said helplessly: "Brother Wei, this is the last chance. If it doesn't work, brother Wei will go home and write a book.  I don¡¯t want to enter this career anymore!¡± ¡°Brother Wen, I dare to say that Brother Wen will win this time!¡± Lu Xiangsheng on the other side showed a meaningful smile and looked at Wen Zhenmeng with slightly narrowed eyes, obviously confident.  The two of them were stunned. Wen Zhenmeng said in a trembling voice: "Why are you so sure, brother?" "Brother Wen has never been admitted to Gongsheng. Brother Wen has taken the exam so many times, but once he failed to pass the exam.  ? The worst is to be a top three, Brother Wen takes it to heart!" Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile on his face as he looked at Wen Zhenmeng.  "That's not necessarily the case. There are quite a few people who fail the palace examination. It's a bit loud to say these things at this time. I think it's better to go home."Get ready!  Life is hard, if you write some words and sell them, there is still no problem in supporting your family!  "The speaker's voice was full of sarcasm, it was Sun Zhixian.
