Chapter 189 The champion
Let’s talk about Zixuan and the other two, after the test, they could only wait for the results to be released. Mingyu was afraid that they would be suffocated at home, so he often accompanied the three of them. Because Qi Yunfei was preparing for the next marriage, he came less.
On that day, the three of them were idle and Mingyu didn't come. The three of them said they wanted to go to the nearby Baiyun Temple. Qingming Festival has passed, and the solar term this year is earlier. I heard that the peach blossoms on the back mountain of Baiyun Temple are blooming. Of course, these are all told by the servants in the other courtyard. Where did Zixuan and the others go to understand the things in the capital?
The three of them took Guoqiang and Yue An out together, of course, two boys in the other courtyard were indispensable. Mingyu ordered that if Wen Han and the others went out, someone would have to follow him, so as to avoid the capital being too big. Wen Han and the others were new to the place and could not figure out the way.
The group came outside Baiyun Temple and saw a Buddhist temple built against the mountain solemn and solemn. Since we came to the Buddhist temple, how could there be no reason not to worship Buddha? So the three of them entered the hall and prayed devoutly in front of the Buddha.
After the three of them finished their prayers, they added incense and oil to the merit box. Then they came out of the hall, found out the path of the back mountain with the little monk in the temple, and walked all the way to the back mountain.
It is said that the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peaks. Although the back mountain of Baiyun Temple is not as steep as it is, the road up the mountain is just a small path. There are quite a few people who come to watch the peach blossoms today. Everyone is crowded on a small road, so there will inevitably be disputes.
Isn’t there a dispute in front of me? The two scholars dressed as people were squeezed by a group of strong men and almost fell down the mountain. One of them staggered under his feet and was about to fall.
Zixuan walked in front of everyone. Seeing this situation, he had to help him. He couldn't really let someone roll down the mountain, right? Zixuan reached out and grabbed the man's hand. After exerting force, he finally grabbed the man.
The strong men in front of them didn't care at all and walked up the mountain with a laugh. Zixuan saw that the man was fine, so he let go. "This brother, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk. Brother, you must be careful."
The man didn't know if he was too scared or what happened just now, his face turned red, "Thank you, brother, for helping me, otherwise I would have to fall down today. I don't know that my brother, the surname Gao, will thank me in the future." This man had a good appearance, and was even more handsome than Zixuan and the others.
"But it's just a matter of raising hands, I can't be the name Xie of Brother Tai. When I see that my brother Tai is a weak scholar, it's better to be careful. If my brother Tai doesn't dislike him, just follow us to avoid any more accidents." Zixuan saw that he was a scholar and spoke politely, so he asked them to be with him and his group.
The man happily agreed, so two more people in the team were added. Wen Han and the others said nothing, they all came to the mountain to watch the flowers, so what if they were walking together?
After finally getting to the mountain, I immediately felt relieved when I looked at the pink peach blossoms all over the mountains.
"Zixuan, look at the peach blossoms all over the mountains. How great it would be if Jinghan and the others came, I think they would like it." Wenhan looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and said to Zixuan.
"Yes, women like this beautiful scenery even more. If you have the chance in the future, my elder brother will take my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law will take my elder sister, and Jinghan and I will take a look." Zixuan remembered the scene of watching flowers with Jinghan on the North Mountain last year.
"We are all relatives, it doesn't matter. It's the same whether we look at it or not." Pengcheng smiled.
A few people walked around the mountain. Although the flowers bloomed beautifully, there were many people. After walking around, everyone lost interest and simply went down the mountain.
The scholars and the others should be masters and servants. When they saw Zixuan and the others going down the mountain, they would follow him. Zixuan thought about the danger just now and nodded in agreement. The group slowly walked down the mountain. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the scholar's master and servant said goodbye to Zixuan and the others.
"Thank you for your help today. I will keep it in mind. If you have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you." The scholar bowed to Zixuan and then took the scholar away.
Zixuan didn't care. It was just a small episode on the road. He didn't expect that he would cause big trouble in the future. After seeing the peach blossoms, the group found another place for lunch, and then returned to the other yard.
On the sixth day of the March, the exam was released. Guoqiang and Yue An arrived at the place where the exam was released early in the morning, waiting to see if Zixuan passed the exam. The time was already here, and they saw someone pasted red paper on the wall. These people waiting for the exam were suddenly caught in front of them.
Guoqiang widened his eyes and looked carefully, but he didn't see the names of Wen Han and the other two, so he felt a little cold. Suddenly he heard the people next to him say that the rankings were all ranked from the front of the net behind, and the first ones were all those with the rankings. Guoqiang then had hope in his heart and continued to wait.
Sure enough, less than a while, another batch was posted. Now, Guoqiang saw Pengcheng's name, "No. 110, it's not bad. It's just the eldest young master's, why haven't you seen it yet?"
Continue to look forward, and finally saw Wen Han's name in the sixty places. "Hey, can't you be without Young Master Zixuan? It shouldn't be. Young Master Zixuan should be better than the eldest master. Wait a little longer." Guoqiang comforted himself like this.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, the list of the top three finally came out. Lin Zixuan's name was actually on the top. It turned out that Zixuan actually won Huiyuan. Now Guoqiang was so happy that he finally squeezed out of the crowd and found Yue An again. The two hurried back to report the message.
When they arrived in the other courtyard, Wen Han and the other two were also a little uneasy. "Congratulations to Master, Congratulations, all three have passed the exam, the eldest son-in-law won 110, the eldest son-in-law was 62, and the second son-in-law was the first Huiyuan." Guoqiang shouted happily, and Guan Zixuan actually called the second son-in-law.
No one cares about these titles at this moment. Wen Han and the other three almost jumped up happily. "I've won, I've won, we've all won, hahaha." The three of them shouted loudly.
At this time, Mingyu and Yunfei also came in from outside. They also learned the good news and came to congratulate him. "Congratulations to brother, brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, this is the third joy. Today we have to celebrate well. Come on, have a banquet, we will not return until we get drunk today." Mingyu shouted.
So these people got drunk again.
After passing the imperial examination, the next step is to have a palace examination. Before the palace examination, there is a re-examination, which naturally makes Zixuan and the other two. On March 12th, the emperor personally presided over the palace examination. Zixuan performed very well and was directly named the top scorer. Three Yuans were ranked, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
Wen Han pointed out the first name of the second class and was given the title of Jinshi, while Pengcheng was the 20th place of the second class and was also from the title of Jinshi. Now, the three of them were both Jinshi, which was considered a good story.
The young emperor was filled with joy when he saw His Highness so many young talents. He sent the order to hold a banquet in the Royal Garden on March 16th and gave the new Jinshi a wine.
On March 16th, the Imperial Garden was very lively, with all civil and military officials and these new Jinshi drinking and having fun together.
The most eye-catching table at the banquet was the first place. His Majesty the Emperor and the No. 1 candidate Tanhua were on the same table, which was very eye-catching. At the banquet, the emperor personally asked about the situation at the three of them. Zixuan was decent and answered in a good manner, which was deeply loved by the emperor.
But no one knew that beside the emperor, a very handsome eunuch was fascinated by the new top scholar. And this person's appearance was clearly the scholar in Baiyun Temple that day.
The little eunuch stayed here for a while and then left. Not long after, another old eunuch came and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear. The emperor's face changed a little, and then he returned to normal. He waved his hand and the old eunuch went down.
"Lin Aiqing, you are a young man who has passed the third year of your life, which is also a blessing for our dynasty. I wonder if Lin Aiqing's family has a wife? If not, I have a good marriage here." The emperor's words clearly meant that Zixuan said that he had not married.
Zixuan was stunned, and understood the emperor's meaning in his heart. He stood up and knelt in front of the emperor, "Report to Your Majesty, the student already has a fiancée, and he will marry the student when he returns this time." Because he has not yet been granted an official position, he can only become a student. Isn't it said that the emperor's disciple?
The emperor Long Yan was furious. The meaning of the words just now was very obvious. Even if you have a wife at home, you should say that there is nothing. The emperor personally acted as a matchmaker, how could you allow you to object? "Bold Lin Zixuan, I cherish your talents and want to marry Yu Mei to you. I didn't expect that you would dare to refuse marriage without being polite. I am so bold. Come on, take Lin Zixuan down to me, throw him into the prison, and wait for his death."
The entire imperial garden was silent. Who would have thought that the top scholar who had just passed the third year of the 3rd Yuan became a prisoner in a blink of an eye. None of the civil and military ministers in the court dared to speak out. The emperor knew the best of the emperor. Although the emperor was young, he could stand out from the throne and seize the throne. How could his scheming be ordinary? At this time, don't touch the brow. Who made this top scholar unfaithful and not even have a backer?
Wen Han and Peng Cheng were also present. When they saw this situation, they were about to speak, but the person behind them grabbed them.
Wen Han turned around and exclaimed, "Mingyu, why is it you?" How could Mingyu come to the Imperial Garden?
Mingyu made a silent gesture, and then whispered, "Brother, brother-in-law, don't speak out for the first time. I will find a way to do this. Now I can't figure out what happened. You guys will go back later and I will tell you the matter clearly."
