Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 64: 10 villains
Yang Ling hired a big car and put everything in the car. Three old eunuchs, Zhang Yong, Liu Jin, and Ma Yongcheng, accompanied the prince and the attendant on the cart. The other younger ones had to condescend and follow. After the car, go straight to Huguo Temple Street.
Zhu Houzhao, although he was brave and mischievous, he was worried that the prince going out of the palace privately was spread to everyone, so on the way, he ordered Yang Ling and Bahu to say that all the princes were attending the prince’s attendance. There are many literati who have attended Yang Family today to welcome their colleagues to Beijing, and they bought gifts specially for them. Several eunuchs only agreed.
Youniang waited for Yang Ling to leave, I felt breathless in my chest, and after a little bit of food, I couldn’t swallow anymore. I went to the kang to rest for a while, and then I sat up and practiced for a while, and I felt my chest was embarrassed. She felt a lot more comfortable, and just after she eased her strength, the copper ring in front of the door snapped, and she heard husband calling her from outside: "Youniang, come and meet the guests...".
Han Youniang was surprised and delighted, why did husband come back so early today? She hurried down to the ground to welcome out the door, and saw eight or nine people in green robes and long coats and talented people standing outside the door, all carrying a lot of things on their shoulders and hands. Yang Ling came forward and smiled: "Youniang, this Several of them are the attendants of His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace. They are my colleagues. I heard that I had just come to the capital and came to visit specially after buying gifts."
Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, etc., after listening to them, they all tried their best to put on a hazy smile, and each connected their heads and smiled and said: "Yes, yeah, I'm all colleagues of Yang husband. Today I came to visit the mansion."
These eight people have high and low literacy levels. Some are called Mrs. Yang, and some are called Little Sisters. Qiu Ju and Wei Bin are young and grew up in the palace since childhood. They don’t know what to call Youniang. Regardless of her age older than Yang Ling, she simply called her sister-in-law Yang Family.
Youniang heard that it was a colleague working with husband, so he didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly welcomed them in. As soon as these people entered the house, they quickly put the messy things bought by Zhu Houzhao away and found a place. Sit and beat his arms and legs. The gifts these people took were all kinds of gifts, including window grilles dyed with quartz plates, jars of pickles, and gourds painted with eight immortals. They were placed in the house, and they were everywhere on the floor.
Zhengde stood behind the pile of people, and the last one stepped in. He was also dressed as a young scholar, dressed in a blue robe, wearing a cloth towel, and holding a half-eaten "hulubing" in his hand. He took a few steps. He jumped to Youniang, threw three hanging pearls and a package of good rice paper on the kang, and smiled and said to Youniang: "Sister Youniang, I'm here too."
Youniang was startled, seeing him at a young age, she couldn't help being surprised and curious: "Is such a young scholar also a person next to the prince?" She looked at the scholar a little familiar, but couldn't remember when she saw him. Yang Ling hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This...hehe, he is also my colleague, does the lady remember the little boy I saw at Huguo Temple that day?"
Han Youniang screamed, and said with surprise and joy: "I remember, I remember, it turns out that the little son is also a companion to the prince, please come in quickly."
Youniang saw this young scholar at the same age as his third brother Mancang (full warehouse), and felt very kind, and smiled at him: "Quickly come in and sit down, you are a colleague of husband, you should call my sister-in-law."
Zhengde had only one younger brother who died when he was young. Although there are many dragon sons and grandsons of the Zhu family, they all have been sent out of Beijing. Usually, he hasn't called anyone else's sister-in-law. He turned his head and thought about it. Such a sister-in-law of Youniang felt good, so she changed her mouth happily.
Youniang promised with a smile, and was about to boil water and tea, Zhang Yong hurriedly stopped, hehe smiled: "Madam, you are welcome, Mr. Yang will invite you colleagues to the restaurant for a while to drink, we come to sit at home and leave. of".
These people are really tired, but Zhengde is still full of energy, running around in and out of the house. Seeing something that I had never seen in the palace, he curiously pulled the drake and called his sister-in-law. Youniang has missed her relatives in her hometown quite a bit since she arrived in Beijing. Zhengde has a pretty face, and she is very naughty like her brother Han Mancang. Youniang also likes him very much, so she always patiently explains.
Later, Zhu Houzhao saw the well in the courtyard again. Seeing that the wooden reel was tied with a rope and twisted with a wooden barrel, he could **** up the sweet and clear water from the well, and suddenly became interested in playing. He listened to Youniang to explain the usage, and saw that there was only half of the water left in the Yang Family tank, he immediately filled the tank with a bucket of water enthusiastically.
Liu Jin and Zhang Yong saw the prince doing this rough job, but they didn’t care if they were tired, so they rushed out to help. Zhu Houzhao was playing happily. How could you let it go, and fill the water tank to the end? To give up.
A few eunuchs just stood by the well in fright, fearing that he might have a mistake. Seeing that he finally gave up, for fear that he would come up with a new idea to mess around, he quickly took the opportunity to resign to Youniang, and the group left the yard, Yang Ling After deliberately falling behind, when they walked a little further, they turned back and said to Youniang: "Youniang, your complexion is so bad, your cheeks are flushed, is it uncomfortable, or... I'll take you to see the doctor when I look back. Right."
Han Youniang smiled vigorously and said: "Where is my body so golden? husband Don't worry, maybe the stomach is cold, and I feel a little uncomfortable. I will rest for a while. You go to accompany the guests, don’t No manners."
She slapped the dust that fell on her shoulders when Yang Ling was carrying things, and smiled and said: "The prince is really a strange person. Some of the attendants around you are going to be grandpas, and some are small children. They are also big shots in the court? But I think they are not as prestigious as husband."
"That's it!" Yang Ling straightened his chest, and looked back, eight great eunuchs and one little hairy boy, the nine evil men in history, I won’t mention him for the time being. Just looking at him is the best. It's majestic.
He smiled at his beloved wife'very majestic', and said: "Go back, just rest when you feel uncomfortable, don't pick up things first. After some time, husband will buy a maid and come back to serve you, my Youniang should also enjoy the blessing."
***********
The test is usually held in February of the second year of the township test, so it is called Chunwei. At that time, the whole country will gather in the capital to make a dying struggle. The tragic situation is even more intense than the current college entrance examination. This year, Chunwei suffered a serious illness from Hongzhi Emperor before, and Tatar attacked the border after the new year. Therefore, the opening of Chunwei was delayed until now, which was a full month late.
Today is the first day of the test. The Ministry of Ritual has to invite the edicts, worship the heavens, and worship Confucius. Many rituals are very cumbersome. Therefore, the test start time is not early. There are still groups of volunteers on the street hurriedly Hurry to the Xuegong test site.
Zhu Houzhao, I saw those candidates who were carrying their baggage and holding pen and ink. For a while, they were curious and rushed to the school to watch the excitement. Yang Ling knew that he hadn't played enough, he must not have the mind to do big things, so he and Liu Jin and others accompany him all the way to the school.
Great Ming Some large cities have built academic palaces. The academic palace is not only a place where local students study hard, but also a Confucian temple. The Confucian temple of the capital is naturally the largest in the country. When Zhu Houzhao and others came to the Xuegong, they saw the high gold plaque on the door lintel with the four characters "Master of Wanshi", and a two-meter-high forbidden stele was erected in front of the stone bridge outside Panchi: "The civil and military officials have dismounted here. ".
No matter how old you are, you have to get off the sedan chair and walk in when you reach the palace. When the literati became high officials, they would come back to pay homage to Master Confucius. As for military commanders, even if the official ranks and power are in the hands, people who see the word Xuegong go around from afar, there is no way, the old scholars in the academy have recognized half of the Analects to rule the world, and moral articles are unparalleled. Samurai will be discriminated against when he enters.
Although the school palace is large, it still cannot hold national candidates. Now three rows of wooden sheds have been set up next to the palace walls to serve as test sites. The surroundings are covered by curtains and guarded by soldiers.
When Zhu Houzhao arrived slowly, the bells and drums were already on the test. In front of the door, besides the family members and servants of the children, there were also some vendors selling tea and snacks, and all of them had disappeared. Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt boring. Seeing a tea stand under the big locust tree, he walked over and sat down. Liu Jin hurriedly called the second one, ordered tea, snacks, and melon seeds, and chatted with Zhu Houzhao under the tree.
Yang Ling looked at the sun. It was estimated that it was around ten o’clock in the morning. There is still plenty of time to go to the Ministry of War. Then he relaxed, he said to Zhu Houzhao and walked slowly westward along Panchi, wanting to see Look at the appearance of these students in the test, but the curtains are too tightly covered, and there is another officer and soldier guarding every few steps. When they get closer, they are loudly reprimanded. Yang Ling has been boring for a while and is about to turn around and walk back. Suddenly, a hand carrying a burden rushed past him, and went straight to the trial door surrounded by cloth curtains. The hand was sweating profusely, holding it up and trying to post anxiously: "Brother Bing, student for some reason I came too late and went to the wrong examination room again. It was a little bit late, so please ask Brother Bing to be ambitious and let me go in."
Yang Ling stopped curiously, turned around and looked at it. There were four soldiers standing at the door, one of them waving a small banner: "Can the test be delayed for such a big event? Wait another three years if it is too late, we dare not call the shots Let you in".
The son was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. While begging hard, he kept begging, "Bing brothers, students have been studying hard for ten years, just for this moment. Last night, I was still studying until the third shift. I only hated that I hit a rogue on the road and was dragged by him to entangle him. Therefore, it was delayed. Please help me."
Yang Ling looked at this behavior and saw that he was two 15-16 years old, thick eyebrows, big eyes, dark skin, tall and thin, wearing a green shirt, empty like a bamboo pole.
This man said, leaning his hands into his arms, and took out all the silver he had in his body, and stuffed his brain into the soldier’s hands, and said with a smile: "All the soldiers are accommodating and generous, the students have no teeth. forget".
The soldier saw that he had a dozen or two silver stripes in his shovel, his eyes suddenly showed greed, but the levels in this scientific research site were level after level. After he passed this level, he could not enter the examination field. He is a soldier. But he didn't have the right to send him in, so he had to throw the silver back into the arms of enumerate man regretfully, shook his head, and stopped talking.
Seeing this scene, the actor was so anxious that the sweat on his forehead shook off his forehead. He didn’t even notice it, and he didn’t even care to wipe it. He still pulled the flag and kept begging. The other soldiers saw him. They all yelled loudly when they didn't leave. An official of the Ministry of Rites walked out after hearing the sound, flicking his robe sleeve, and coldly scolded: "Who is making a noise at the door?"
The official of the ceremony department was just a small official of the ceremony department, but he couldn't take care of it in a hurry. He knelt on the ground with a pop, and said loudly: "My lord save me, my lord save me, student I’m not allowed to enter the arena because it’s a moment’s delay, please be kind, please let me go in", saying that the child knocked his head like garlic, Yang Ling didn’t care, and waited until he heard him knock on the ground. I was shocked and sympathized for a while.
The ceremonial member Wai Lang rolled his eyes and said coldly: "The court is to select talents and work for the country. Even the test will be late. People like you can also enter the court. Do you? Go back and read the sage books for a few years."
The son choked upon hearing the voice, fell on the ground and couldn't get up. He just kept kowtow and couldn't even make a pleading sound. When Yang Ling saw it, he couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but pleaded: "This lord, he is only a quarter of an hour late, and there will never be the possibility of cheating. It is better to let him in. Adults are also scholars, knowing that hard study is not easy. ".
Wai Lang, a member of the ceremony department, smiled coldly, glanced at him slantingly, and said disdainfully: "Who are you?"
Yang Ling said: "Under Yang Ling, I am also a scholar. The only way for a scholar to start a half-life is the imperial examination. It is related to the future of his life. Let the adults help him."
Wai Lang, a member of the Ceremony Department, snorted, and said in a weird manner: "Where is the imperial examination? What a big event is the imperial examination? How can such a sacred and solemn matter be allowed to be private?"
Yang Ling saw him with a disgusting face, and suddenly remembered Zhang Haogu, who was sent into the examination room by the Wei Zhongxian in the east factory in "Continuous Upgrading". A move in his heart said that the factory guards were rampant and everyone looked sideways. This brand doesn't work. When he saw people he didn’t know, he leaned into his arms and touched the jade medallion. He smiled in front of the ceremonial staff member Wai Lang and said, "My lord, just because scientific examinations are the top priority in life, I also ask adults to be a little accommodating. The merit is boundless".
Wai Lang, a member of the ceremony department, saw the flying fish token in the hand of Yang Ling, and his heart was immediately chilled. Eight or nine out of ten Jinyi guards in the Jingshi were the blood-devouring demon from Beizhen Fusi. This yamen came out with a Jinyi captain, and Enough for him, a small member of the foreign language, to drink a pot, not to mention that the jade medal in this person's eyes must be a senior officer in Jinyiwei.
When did Jin Yiwei even manage the imperial examination? They are also members of the military department, and they hate coming to a place like Xuegong. Could it be... the emperor specially ordered Jin Yiwei to spy? A moment’s delay is not considered an incomprehensible event. If this person slanders me in a jealous manner in front of the sage, saying that I deliberately make things difficult for scholars, then...
For a while, the ceremonial staff member Wailang also sweated on his face. He ate and said: "Master Yang, I didn’t know the identity of Master Yang just now~IndoMTL.com~ It's rude, it's rude. There is a word from an adult, then What's wrong? The lower official immediately sent this candidate to the exam in person. The adults can rest assured."
The thin and tall man has been kneeling at the door with his face up and listening to the two people talking. When he heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and he quickly kowtowed and said: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, and Mr. Examiner."
Although he doesn't know what brand Yang Ling is holding, his young age has changed the examiner's face, and he must be a high-ranking official.
Yang Ling handed over to the examiner: "So, thank you," and then smiled to the fellow: "It's hard to send you in, and the title of the gold list is even harder. Whether you can jump through the dragon door depends on your ability. "
He did a good deed and was extremely happy in his heart. He fluttered under his feet and walked towards the main entrance of the palace. The ceremonial member Wailang breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the man with lingering fear: "Get up quickly, I will send you into the examination room."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Examiner." The boy stood up in tears, turned his head and saw that Yang Ling was about to turn the curtain, and said in a choked voice, "Master Yang's help, Student Yan Song, dare not or forget in this life!"
Yang Ling just turned the curtain, when he heard this, he tripped on his feet and almost fell into the river one by one.
