In the Yang Mansion, not far from Wei Zhongxian Mansion.[][]..[]

"Mr. Yang, have you heard that an important person has come to Wei Zhongxian's family today." Zuo Guangdou hurriedly said to Yang Lian as soon as he entered the room.

This Lord Yang Lian and Yang are an extraordinary figure. He was one of the main figures of the Donglin Party during the Tianqi period of the Qin Dynasty and a famous court official in the Qin Dynasty.

He was critically ill in Qin Shenzong and strongly advocated that the prince enter the palace to serve the emperor. Qin Guangzong ascended the throne and strongly opposed Concubine Zheng's request to be named the Empress Dowager.

Qin Guangzong was seriously ill. Yang Lian wrote a letter to Guangzong, who tried to convene Guangzong's faults and summoned ministers. He was not a minister and was also summoned to the summons and was in danger.

When Qin Guangzong passed away, Li Xuanshi stayed in the Ganqing Palace with the crown prince trying to control the government. He persuaded the court officials to step up and break into the Ganqing Palace. He supported the crown prince Zhao Youxiao to ascend the throne, and forced Li Xuanshi to move out of the Ganqing Palace, settled the court, and promoted the military department to the chief minister.

"Oh, who is this person's origin?"

Yang Lian asked in confusion, "You must know that Wei Zhongxian doesn't even take Prince Xin seriously. Who is an important person to him?"

"Mr. Yang has heard of "Changmen Fu" and "A Laugh in the Sea"." Zuo Guangdou said.

"Of course, these two poems are a rare good poem that has been seen in our Qin Dynasty for thousands of years."

Yang Lian said that in fact, Yang Lian had a good impression of the person who wrote these two poems, but he knew that this person was not from Donglin Academy and had nothing to do with the Donglin Party, so he ignored it.

The Donglin Party members were just like this, all of whom were arrogant and looked down on people from other places. Therefore, the Donglin Party basically had no allies in the Qin Dynasty, and was basically not from the Donglin Party. They looked down on them and wanted to attack them and squeeze them out of the court.

The guiding ideology of the Donglin Party is that I am very moral. After being strong, it becomes your immoral and your work policy. Originally, the party was the same as the party, but after being strong, it becomes a non-people of our race, and their hearts must be different.

In short, in short, it is either my accomplice or my enemy.

Therefore, there are not many people in the court who like the Donglin Party. Not only the eunuchs do not like them, but people from other factions do not like them either.

But it was so strange that the Donglin Party, which was not very popular, actually controlled the court and became the most powerful political force of the Qin Dynasty. It was Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party supported by the emperor, who had to unite with people from other factions to compete with the Donglin Party.

Anyway, during the Qin Dynasty during the Tianqi period, the ministers in the court did not do much else, quarrels, and did not do much internal beatings.

I don’t know why the Donglin Party is so energetic and fights with officials from the eunuch party and other factions every day.

"It's the author of these two poems. He has entered the Wei Mansion. I think he has joined the eunuch party at least." Zuo Guangdou said.

"Ten dogs, ten children, forty grandchildren, huh, there is another wolf in the court this time." Yang Lian said angrily.

"Mr. Yang, I think this may not be a bad thing." Zuo Guangdou thought about it and said.

"What does it mean?" Yang Lian asked in confusion.

"I once sent someone to check this person's background. This person used to be a fool. It was like a Mid-Autumn Festival more than two months ago. He suddenly realized his idea and wrote such a wonderful lyric as "Changmen Fu". It was too sudden." Zuo Guangdou said.

Zuo Guangdou is now the Zuo Assistant Censor of the Censorate. Thinking of the current Chief of the Supervisor, he is responsible for supervising impeachment officials and is one of the important leaders of the Donglin Party.

"What do you mean is that Qin Mu has no real knowledge at all?" Yang Lian looked at Zuo Guangdou with some confusion and asked.

"Yes, I think he is a bit practical and very superficial. I have visited Mu Shangde, the Minister of Rites. Even he himself still doesn't believe that his son-in-law can write peerless lyrics and songs such as "Changmen Fu" and "A Laugh in the Sea". According to Mu Shangde's words, Qin Mu has not even read the book for a few years, and because of a change, he has become a fool..." Zuo Guangdou said.

After all, the two poems about Qin Mu are so famous in the capital. In addition, the King of Zhennan recommended him to be an official, so Zuo Guangdou was not allowed to investigate Qin Mu's background.

"Are these true?" Yang Lian asked in disbelief.

"It's true. I've sent someone to Liyuan County to check his background." Zuo Guangdou said with great confidence, but Zuo Guangdou never thought that Qin Mu was possessed by someone else.

"What do you say about those two poems?"

Yang Lian asked in confusion, after all, the "Changmen Fu" and "A Laugh in the Sea" cannot be faked. If a person who can make such a word is said to be without talent, he can believe it.

"Mr. Yang, I suspect that these two poems were not written by Qin Mu. If you think of a fool, even if you are not stupid, you can't make such a poem, let alone a fool who has not been to school for a few years."

Zuo Guangdou analyzed that of course Zuo Guangdou's analysis was correct. In fact, such a thing could not happen, but sometimes God always likes to joke. The fact that possessing such a myth happened to Qin Mu. Zuo Guangdou was powerful, and he could not count it as God.

"What do you mean?" Yang Lian understood Zuo Guangdou's meaning.

"I mean, these two poems were not written by Qin Mu, but were just transmitted through Qin Mu's mouth." Zuo Guangdou said,

"Then who wrote these two poems?" Yang Lian asked curiously.

"I don't know this, but I definitely don't believe that Qin Mu can make such a peerless word." Zuo Guangdou still firmly believes in his judgment.

"What do you mean, Qin Mu is a person without talent, so his resignation to Wei Zhongxian will have no effect on us."

Yang Lian said that what Yang Lian was most worried about was that there were talented people in the eunuch party. In that case, the power of the eunuch party with Dongchang and Jinyiwei as the backstage would expand, which would be very unfavorable to the court.

I have to admit that Yang Lian is a very pure person, and only the country comes from the country in my mind.

"No, Lord Yang, I think this is a good opportunity to crack down on the eunuch party?" Zuo Guangdou said.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Yang Lian looked at Zuo Guangdou's question with some confusion.

"This Qin Mu was originally a fool, not even a child. There were regulations in the Qin Dynasty that those who were not scholars or above were not allowed to be officials. If Wei Zhongxian wanted to make this Qin Mu an official, he had to pass the palace examination. As long as he was in the palace examination, we gave Qin Mu some difficult questions. As long as he could not answer them, we could cure Wei Zhongxian's crime of not knowing people and trying to deceive the king."

Zuo Guangdou said that he is worthy of being one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, and he suddenly came up with a crime of deceiving the emperor that made it difficult for Wei Zhongxian to turn over.

"But this Qin Mu is Mr. Mu's son-in-law."

Yang Lian said with some concern, after all, Mu Shangde is the eldest princess, and Mu Shangde will definitely not be happy to kill his son-in-law like this.

"There is no way to do this. Who made Qin Mu degenerate and join the eunuch party? Even if he was beheaded, he deserved it. As long as he didn't involve Mu Shangde, he would be fine. In that case, we will not offend the eldest princess." Zuo Guangdou said.

"Okay, that's it. After a while, we will ask a few court officials to discuss this matter. At that time, we will catch Wei Zhongxian and the others off guard." Yang Lian said.

The next day, in mid-December, the eleventh year of the Apocalypse, Qin Mu was waiting outside the hall early to summon him.

The palace examination is the highest level of the imperial examination system in the Qin Dynasty. It was first created by Emperor Taizu of the Qin Dynasty and became a prescribed order. The emperor personally presided over the palace. Sometimes the emperor would appoint ministers to take charge of the palace examination and did not personally ask questions.

There are two types of palace examinations. One is to take the imperial examination. The students who pass the examination, that is, tribute students, take the examination presided over by the emperor.

During the Qin Dynasty, the tribute scholars did not fail in the palace examination, but the emperor re-arranged the rankings. The palace examination was personally presided over by the emperor, and only the current affairs and policy were taken.

After the palace examination, I read the paper the next day, and the next day the exam was released. The admissions were divided into three grades: one and three, and I was awarded the Jinshi, the first name was the top scholar, Dingyuan, the second name was the second title, and the three were the Tanhua, and I was collectively called the Sandingjia. The second grade was given the Jinshi, and the third grade was given the same Jinshi. The first and first names were called Chuanlu. The first, two and three grades were commonly called Jinshi.

The Jinshi List is called the A List, or the A Class. The Jinshi List is written on yellow paper, so it is called the Yellow Jia, also known as the Golden List. Being the Jinshi List is called the Golden List title.

The first place in the provincial examination is Jie Yuan, the first place in the imperial examination is Hui Yuan, and the first place in the palace examination is called Sanyuan. The winning three yuan in a row is a good story in the imperial examination. The former cabinet elder Xie Jin mentioned above is "Three Yuans".

After the palace examination, the top scholar was awarded the editor of Hanlin Academy, the second place, and the Tanhua was awarded the editor. The other Jinshi who passed the examination were called the Shujishi of Hanlin Academy. Those who passed the examination three years later were awarded the editorial and reviewers of Hanlin Academy, and the rest were assigned to the chief positions of various departments, or were given priority as magistrates, called the Sanguan. People who were born in Shujishi were promoted very quickly in the Ming Dynasty.

Another type is that those who are highly powerful ministers or royal relatives in the court who want to be officials are talented but do not take the imperial examination once every three years, or fail the imperial examination, can directly participate in the palace examination presided over by the emperor with the recommendation of these great figures. As long as they pass the palace examination, they can also become officials, which is equivalent to being a Jinshi.

"This father-in-law, why did the emperor get up so early? It's just the Yin hour, and I've started working early."

Qin Mu had not yet had sex, and asked the eunuch beside him with some confusion. This eunuch was specially left by Wei Zhongxian to accompany Qin Mu, afraid that he would come to the palace for the first time and would not understand the rules, so he would make something wrong.

If the Donglin Party catches the handle, it will be troublesome. You should know that the current Censors of the Inspectorate are all from the Donglin Party. These people are very sharp-eyed. Whenever they see any inappropriate behavior, they will be infinitely magnified. This is just like the case handled by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, which is annoying.
