Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 172: Who else?



Chapter 172 Who else?

   After the exam, Wang Shouren was grounded at home, with servants watching over him.

  Father is obviously very dissatisfied with this son, Qingliu of the Qingliu, who fools around with that guy Fang Jifan every day.

  That\'s right, Fang Jifan is really hot right now, many wives in Beijing and many honorable families are starting to look up to him.

  But this has nothing to do with the Wang family!

  The Wang family is a family of poems and books, and he, Wang Hua, is the clearest of the streams. No matter how popular you Fang Jifan is, how much the Empress Dowager loves you, and how close His Royal Highness is to you, so what? The Wang family has been famous for several generations, but it cannot be destroyed at once, smashing the signboard, and being ashamed of the ancestors.

  Wang Hua came home from duty and saw that the lights were still on in the study.

  Wang Hua\'s complexion was not good.

  Needless to say, this silly boy was in the study again. Although his feet were grounded, he was still obsessed, staring in a daze at the four words "the unity of knowledge and action".

Hey…

  What a crime! This is it.

  Wang Hua still couldn\'t hold back, with a straight face and hands behind his back, he entered the study.

   Sure enough, everything was as Wang Hua expected.

  Wang Shouren was just in a daze like intoxicated, looking in a daze.

  Wang Hua coughed and said, "Bo\'an."

  Wang Shouren came back to his senses and glanced at Wang Hua: "Father..."

"Still watching this?" Wang Hua frowned, with a little anger between his brows, and said, "You should wake up too, don\'t waste your energy on such useless things, you have grown up, now Even though the palace examination is over, the rankings have not yet been released, so don\'t you care at all whether you are ranked first or not? This...but it is related to your future, and it is also related to the future of the Wang family."

Although Gongsheng\'s palace examination, no matter how good or bad the score is, this Jinshi can\'t escape, but this Jinshi is divided into first-class, second-class, and third-class. Each level determines the future future and destiny. Those who rank first , Directly awarded to Hanlin for editing and editing, the starting point is high, the Qing Dynasty is famous, it is rare in the world, it will not take many years, it may go to Zhan Shifu to serve as the prince\'s teacher, or enter the palace to wait for the imperial edict, how many people are there? dream?

  Erjia, although there is a chance to enter the Imperial Academy, but it needs to start from the lowest level of Shu Jishi, and I don’t know how many years of qualifications it will take to be comparable to Yijia.

   Not to mention the top three, for Wang Hua, the so-called top three are a group of scumbags, the "Jinshi" donated by the court, just like a wife, and they cannot be admitted to the elegant hall.

  Wang Shouren saw his father\'s worried look, and felt sour. He knew that his father was worried about him, so he said, "Father, don\'t worry, don\'t worry about the palace exam."

"no need to worry…"

  You are quite unrestrained, for your father is in Zhan Shifu today, but you are a **** who has been away for a day, even preparing lessons for His Royal Highness, you are full of mistakes and omissions!

  Wang Hua blew his beard and stared: "You don\'t have to worry about being a father!"

"because…"

   Facing his father\'s anger, Wang Shouren was still obviously calm, and smiled and said: "Because the son is bound to be the top one."

   "..." This self-confidence is almost comparable to Wang Hua, the number one scholar. Self-confidence is a good thing, but self-confidence is too much...

   "Hmph! You don\'t know how to be humble at all."

Wang Shouren thought for a while, and said: "It\'s not that my son is not humble, but that this policy theory is based on Ping Milu. My son has always been familiar with horse politics, and has always paid attention to Milu\'s chaos. Look, there is also Li Shibo, when he was discussing the Milu Rebellion with several uncles, his son was also listening in, and the son was convinced that his son\'s examination paper was enough to rank first, and the rest were not worth mentioning."

To be honest, after listening to Wang Shouren\'s words, Wang Hua was very pleased. What his son said was not unreasonable. This son liked riding and archery and marching in formation since he was a child. This is not an advantage that ordinary Gongsheng students can compare with.

but…

  Wang Hua still didn\'t like Wang Shouren\'s arrogance, so he couldn\'t help saying indifferently: "For the palace examination, everything is possible before the ranking is released. You don\'t have to be so complacent, your majesty may not choose you."

  Wang Shouren was silent.

   Seeing Wang Shouren\'s silence, Wang Hua frowned: "Don\'t talk?"

  Wang Shouren thought about it for a while, but decided to say what he said from the bottom of his heart: "If the emperor doesn\'t choose a son, it\'s His Majesty\'s incompetence."

   "..."

   Silence, deathly silence.

  Wang Hua felt that his back was soaked, and he was dripping with cold sweat.

  Although it was a private communication between father and son, he knew this unworldly son too well.

  If you don’t point at you, it’s the emperor’s incompetence... You are so courageous, monarch and minister, have you been eaten by dogs? You are insulting the emperor, you are acting recklessly, you are not as good as a dog, you are disloyal and unfilial...

   "Nizi..." Wang Hua finally let out a roar!

  I saw that his veins were protruding, and he no longer had his usual image. He rolled up his sleeves, like a wild man in a mountain village, full of obscene words, using the accent of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

  ...

   Early the next morning.

   It was dawn again.

  After Liu Jian and the others entered the palace, they did not go to the cabinet, but directly transferred to the warm cabinet, because they knew that His Majesty should be waiting here at this time.

   Sure enough, Emperor Hongzhi still got up early.

   This has become his habit. He always goes to bed late and wakes up early. Sometimes he is too tired, so he takes a nap in the warm pavilion.

He saw the three Cabinet Great Scholars, and without waiting for them to salute, he shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need to be too polite, all students, I am afraid that they are also anxious to wait for the announcement of the list. The list of the imperial examination will not be released for a day, and I am afraid that I don\'t know how many people there are." People are very worried, and I and all the ministers also took a lot of trouble to take a quick look at this paper. I want to be quick, but I can\'t ask for it. I want it to be released early. I can\'t ask for it. And missed the future of all living beings, come... give me a seat."

  In fact, the severe drought for several days had already made Emperor Hongzhi very anxious, but these anxieties were still hidden in his heart.

  He ordered someone to serve tea, and then continued to read the paper.

  Liu Jian and others did not dare to miss it, and they all concentrated their attention.

   The work of this day passed quickly.

  Basically, all papers have been read.

  Of course, although I read it hastily, but tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, all the papers need to be verified again.

   But until now, Emperor Hongzhi probably already had an idea in his heart.

  Before Liu Jian and others were about to resign, he put his hands on the imperial case and said, "There is no father and son double champion in this dynasty, right?"

   "Your Majesty, there are fathers and sons who have both Jinshi and double champions. I have never heard of it, even in the Song Dynasty."

  Emperor Hongzhi cheered up and shook his head: "What a blessing this must be, the Wang family will become famous all over the world."

  Liu Jian raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Hongzhi. He already knew it in his heart: "The blessings of the Wang family are bestowed by the emperor. If the emperor sends rain and dew, the Wang family will be blessed. This is the king\'s favor."

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and said: "This is not the favor of the emperor, it is what they deserve. It is not the favor of the emperor, but the result of their hard study."

  Li Dongyang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, did you choose Wang Shouren on purpose?"

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled casually this time and said, "Who else?"

  The general result has been decided.

  However, these things can only be buried in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers in the palace, and they must not be revealed before the results are announced.

   It\'s just that Liu Jian and others are inevitably feeling emotional, the Wang family... really smoked from the ancestral grave.

  However... This time, His Majesty did not mention Fang Jifan\'s disciples. It can be seen that Fang Jifan\'s luck has come to an end.

  Fang Jifan\'s students\' test papers, Liu Jian and others have also read them. They are not bad, but...compared with Wang Shouren, they are obviously not as good as Wang Shouren. Wang Shouren...is really a talent for managing the world.

  That day, Liu Jian and others left the palace, but they all had their own concerns.

  At this time, what everyone thought was that it was a pity that Wang Shouren was already married.

  ...

  A fast horse that came with wind and dust, rattled on the green bricks outside Beizhen Mansion at the dawn of the next day!

  Beizhen Fusi is a government office that everyone fears, so in the daytime, everyone is empty, let alone at this time.

  Mao at three o\'clock, a rooster crowed in the distance.

   Jinyiwei\'s swift horse arrived panting in front of Beizhen Fusi\'s gate, and the one sitting on the horse was a Jinyiwei warrior.

   Jinyiwei is different from other yamen, they have their own reporting system, and sometimes, it is faster than the urgent delivery.

  The immediately wrestler turned over neatly, with a stern expression on his face.

  The oncoming person was a chief banner officer, who said expressionlessly, "What\'s the matter?"

   "It\'s urgent!" Li Shi was carrying the firelight behind his back, so his face could not be seen clearly, but his voice was cold, and his aura was not weakened by seeing the general flag. But the voice was hoarse, with unconcealable fatigue.

  General Banner instantly understood, and did not blame Lishi for his rudeness: "Commander Shi Wu is on duty tonight, please!"

   As soon as he gave way, the Lishi swaggered and quickly entered the main hall of Beizhen Fusi.

  Someone had reported the situation to Huiyou Wu long ago, and at the dawn of dawn, there were thousands of urgent reports... This...made Huiyou Wu feel strange.

  He has been in Jinyiwei for 30 years, what kind of storms and waves have he never seen? He couldn\'t help muttering in his heart, where did the land collapse...or...where did the civil uprising happen again?

   In this situation, he did not dare to neglect, he hurriedly ascended his seat, and a short while later, an urgent report was delivered to him.

  Wu Huiyou looked down, and on the cover of this urgent report, two huge characters in red lacquer appeared in his eyes—Great Victory!

  Wu Huiyou\'s body was shocked suddenly, his eyes were full of surprise, great victory... where did the great victory come from...

  These days, the imperial court has not heard any good news for a long time.

  After opening the good news impatiently, his pupils constricted even more, as if he was completely shocked. Then, he slapped the desk and said, "Come on!"

  Birthday has passed, and I am one year older, but I am very happy to see so many readers wishing and caring so much. Well, a new day has begun, continue, and work hard to give back to everyone.
