In the Ming Dynasty, the exam was only one day. After the paper was closed, the examiner read it, the grade was marked, and the third grade was listed. Anyone who passed the imperial examination would generally become a Jinshi. The palace examination was just a ranking and would not be dismissed.

That night, Yan Shifan secretly came to Lu Bing's house. Lu Bing said, "I heard that Your Majesty has commended Zeng Xian again? It seems that Your Majesty is determined to reconcile. After all, this is to explore a great cause. Several emperors are able to withstand this temptation! That matter seems to be difficult to do."

Yan Shifan smiled and said, "It's said that you and Your Majesty are playing with a relationship between you. After decades, why don't you know what the Sacred Heart wants? Do you think you are the heroes like Qin Emperor and Han Wu? Do you think you are as tough as Qin Mu Gong, who is as unyielding and indomitable as Qin Mu, who is the one who lives in Xiyuan, is the most afraid of trouble. He is just a hot heart in his heart. When the fire burns over and slowly cools down, you will fall to the other side. And it's not a small fall, but a big fall! Those who support the high-profile reconciliation will be in great trouble at that time!"

Lu Bing pondered: "The holy heart is unpredictable!"

Yan Shifan laughed and whispered: "I have never been able to test it in the past three years! You are not there during the day, have you not seen the situation during the palace examination? Do you think that what is really annoying to Li Zhe now?"

Lu Bing said: "Who are you not annoying to him now?"

"What is Li Zhe? Can he be qualified to cause today's liver fire?" Yan Shifan smiled and said, "Don't you think that boy's performance today is very similar to a person?"

When Lu Bing thought about it, he laughed and said, "I'm sick of Wu and Wu!"

"By the way!" Yan Shifan smiled and said, "Today's palace examination is an excellent signal! Now that I am tired of this person, I must be suspicious of his proposal after the fire in my heart is burned. At that time, the cabinet will inevitably issue an order to revise it! At that time, it will be the time for us to counterattack, that is, the death of that person!"

Lu Bing nodded repeatedly and praised: "Brother Yan Shi is a talented person! He is a master of the world! Ling Zun is also respected. At that time, this memorial will be based on Brother Yan Shi's wonderful writing and the reputation of Master Yan."

Yan Shifan hurriedly said, "No! Although my father is in the cabinet, when it comes to closeness and trust, who can do the best Lord Lu? Lord Lu, please come on."

Although both of them felt that the chances of winning were quite high, they were still afraid of Xia Yan's power and shirked each other. Finally, Lu Bing said: "Since we don't want to go, it's better to bring someone else out and try that person's edge. How about it?"

Yan Shifan asked: "Who do you want to tell me?"

Lu Bing said: "This matter involves military affairs. It is best if a warrior takes the lead. Let's take charge of it to see how it works?"

He then revealed the origin of a person, which made Yan Shifan so happy that he claimed it was wonderful, and said, "Such a roundabout way, it makes you and me even more selfless." He paused and said, "But will your son-in-law still be able to do it?"

Lu Bing smiled gently and said, "Take it. This kid is pretty good. He knows it all at once and stops doing things. I have been living for decades and it is rare for such a smart person."

Yan Shifan said: "He offended the present day."

Lu Bing smiled and said, "He is still a small person now, and today he is just a little offense and has not touched the pain point of today. Although he is annoyed by him now, he will forget it in a while. If you have too many such things, you have seen them before."

However, after the palace examination article was obtained, the second day, the Cabinet Grand Secretary won the first three firsts and went to the emperor to study in turn - this is the rule to win the top scorer. Xia Yan is over 60 years old, and Yan Song is older than him, but he is full of energy.

The two were about to start reading, but they said that Emperor Jiajing had advocated the Qing Dynasty and did not like to work hard. When he met the Luncai ceremony, he had to sit upright. When he saw Huiyuan Li Zhe, he remembered the gossip in the capital, and couldn't help but be curious and asked questions. Unexpectedly, Li Zhe was not tactful and even said something about "righteous clothes" and implicitly mocked himself with Taoist Xiangye Guan, which reminded him of Xia Yan's disrespect for him! Although Jiajing wanted to use Xia Yan's ability to govern the country, he needed his ministers to obey him absolutely. In the past two years, Xia Yan has become more domineering and uses ancestors' etiquette to restrict him as an emperor, which has made him feel disgusted. Even Huiyuan became disgusted. Without face, he was stopped by Xia Yan and could not extricate himself, so he turned away.

At this time, Jiajing heard that Li Yanzhi was inside the Dingjia and sneered, "This crazy student is also included in the Dingjia?" So he refused to nominate and wanted to dismiss him to the third level, asking him to be ranked last at the end of the crane, and humiliate him.

Li Yanzhi didn't know that when he was in a crisis, it was not Yan Song who had accepted his bribe, but Xia Yan who had been abandoned by him! This stubborn chief minister refused to obey the emperor's will, thinking that Li Yanzhi's talent should not be ranked third. Although he was young and frivolous, he had no disrespect and should be ranked first.

Jiajing was furious and threw a pen and said, "Then you can just circle it!"

Xia Yan picked up the pen and said, "Please ask Your Majesty to choose the top scholar in the imperial pen!"

Jiajing sneered: "Do you think I am your doll?"

Xia Yan was slightly shocked and took a step back.

Seeing the atmosphere tense, Jiajing could not resist Xia Yan, and Xia Yan could not resist Jiajing either. Finally, Yan Song came forward and said, "Since that's the case, please be listed in the second class." Jiajing was not happy, and Xia Yan was not happy either, but the two still compromised. Xia Yan took the pen and Jiajing mentioned it, and signed Li Chunfang as the top scholar, and listed Li Yan directly downstream of the second class.

Once this list was released, all the new Jinshi were secretly disturbed, which made Li Yan very upset. However, the ranking of Jinshi was an imperial decree, and there were no quantitative objective standards. It was difficult to say that there was anything wrong with this, but people were just dissatisfied.

Although Li Chunfang was the top scholar, he felt ashamed when he saw Li Yanzhi. He said, "Although Chunfang got this top scholar, it would be like stealing it!" He wanted to resign, but was dissuaded by Zhang Juzheng and others, saying, "If Brother Li really wrote to the book, he would be angry. At that time, Yanzhi would probably be in trouble!" Li Chunfang had no choice but to give up. The new Jinshi comforted Li Yanzhi and said, "Yanzhi does not need to be troubled. The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the throne meets the loyal ministers! The emperor was just blinded for a moment, and he will definitely be able to understand Yanzhi's loyalty and patriotism in the future."

When he saw Li Yanzhi, he saw that he was neither happy nor worried. Everyone sighed in secret that he was not surprised by his favor and humiliation, but he did not know that the reason why he was calm was that he was quite satisfied with the result. However, since Jiajing had no good impression of him, the eunuchs did not give him a good look when he was given a banquet in Qionglin. The ministers and new Jinshi in the capital changed their minds one after another. Only a few talented scholars such as Zhang Juzheng and Yang Jisheng were unfamiliar with him and even more intimate with him.

The second day he was given a coward, and three days later, Li Chunfang led the new Jinshi to express his gratitude. Everyone looked at Li Yanzhi and thought to himself: "If you are willing to be tactful and not offend the emperor at all, you will be the one who will take the lead."

Soon the court issued an edict to all the new Jinshi, and Li Chunfang naturally became a Hanlin editor, and Zhang Juzheng also ordered Shuji, which were all chosen by the Qing Dynasty. According to the rules, the first place in the second class and those who failed to win the tripod of Huiyuan were all able to join the Hanlin as Shuji, but Li Yanzhi was sent to the Ministry of War to be appointed. According to the official understanding, although it was better to work in the six ministries than to go to the local area to become a county magistrate and a teacher, it was absolutely impossible to compare with Hanlin! And Li Yanzhi went

The department is also the Ministry of War, which is the poorest and busiest and has to take the blame among the six ministries. Therefore, most of the scholars and the people who have a little conscience all sighed secretly for this poor Li Huiyuan, treating him as a miserable person with a poor fate. The gangsters in the officialdom all warned each other to take Li Zhe as a lesson, but a group of aspiring young heroes have since united around Li Yanzhi, regarded him as a model of refusing to surrender and expecting great things.

The capital is really a magical place. Before Li Yanzhi's examination, the party was neglected. After winning the Huiyuan period, it became lively. Everyone regarded him as the upcoming upstart. When he was disliked by the emperor, the Tongli Jingshi branch was deserted again. In just half a month, Feng Qi and Jiang Yifan saw the warmth and coldness of the emperor's feet, and Zhang Juzheng and others were also very angry. However, at this time they were all busy observing politics - this was a process for the new Jinshi before taking office, and they had to go to various departments and courts for internships - so they didn't come often.

However, what is surprising is that when Li Yanzhi fell into this way, Lu Bing, who had claimed to humiliate him, not only did not take any harm, but sent people to comfort him, and also expressed that his intention to recruit him as a son-in-law still remained unchanged. Li Yanzhi himself was quite moved, and the scholars praised him. In connection with Lu Bing's previous efforts to protect the officialdom, everyone said that he truly loved talents.

At the same time, another version was circulated in the market, saying that Lu Bing originally wanted to choose another son-in-law for his daughter, but Miss Lu refused. She said: "Young Master Li can keep polite but not charm the superiors, and keep polite but not fear the superiors. Where can I find such courage in the world? Even if my daughter is inferior, he will not marry in this life!" Lu Bing was moved by his daughter's words and agreed to this marriage.

Therefore, all the Shilin people praised their father, Ying and daughter, and Li Yanzhi's loyalty was a good match, so many good people came to help match. Soon, there were news from Fujian, but it was Li Yanzhi's family's reply. In the letter from home, Li Dashu said: "Rely on parents at home and rely on teachers and friends when going out. It is a blessing for you to pass the Jinshi. From then on, you should serve the court. As for marriage, you can follow the advice of your mentor's orders and good friends, and you don't have to discuss everything with your family. As long as you are well, your family will be happy."
