After a while, the yamen officer took Pan Boheng's test paper into the hands of Liu Dian, the Minister of Rites.
He took a look at it and thought it was good, because the test paper was very clean and tidy, the calligraphy was very good, the pen was as big as a rafter, and the brush strokes were vigorous.
His handwriting is just like the person he is. He has good calligraphy skills and good writing skills. Every stroke and every stroke is elegant and unrestrained, which can add a lot of points to his impression.
Liu Dian read the content carefully again. After reading it, he nodded carefully and said that it was well written. The answers to the theory of True Confucianism were novel and did not deviate from His Majesty's views.
Liu Dian nodded and said, "Xiao Li, come and take a look too."
The Minister of Rites put the test paper next to the Minister of Rites.
The Minister of Rites next to him took the test paper. After reading it, he felt that this person was a talent!
"Master Shangshu, this person's theory is so well written! There is not a single typo and the font is beautiful. I would like to know which student it is!"
Generally speaking, after candidates submit their papers, their names must be anonymized. If they cannot be opened, they need to select them all and score the highest ones before the ranking can be determined.
Liu Dian stopped him and said, "No, wait until the scores are changed!"
Boom!!!
As soon as the big gong sounded, the last subject of the examination came to a successful conclusion.
Afterwards, the door to the general examination slowly opened, and the candidates all came out with different expressions.
Pan Boheng was the first to come out and walked to the entrance of the examination room. Pan's mother, Pan's father, had been waiting at the door for a long time since he hoped his son would succeed.
According to the usual imperial examination system, it will take ten days before the results are released.
This time, there was no one chatting at the entrance of the Confucius Temple, and the candidates began to drag their tired bodies back to their residences.
The same goes for Pan Boheng. His body was already a little unable to hold on any longer, so he returned to the courtyard and began to sleep!
After so many days, I really don’t know how I survived.
Fortunately, the environment of the examination room is very comfortable, and there are toilets such as flush toilets. At least they have lids to cover them so they don't stink.
In the past, each cubicle was equipped with a feces bucket and a urine bucket as standard, so exams were quite a torture.
Sleeping is the only way to relieve fatigue.
The following days of waiting for the results to be released were relatively dull, so Pan Boheng concentrated on reviewing his homework. He believed that he could go to the palace examination!
Two days later, Pan's mother forced Pan Boheng to go to Jiming Temple in Xuanwu District of Yingtian City to worship Buddha and burn incense. She said that Jiming Temple was miraculous, but she would feel uneasy if she didn't worship.
"Mom, it's not suitable for me to go out now. The people in Putian have caused a big fuss. It's easy for me to provoke my elder brother and get criticized when I go out!"
The otaku Pan Boheng shook his head and found an excuse not to go out.
"Alas! Justice comes within the heart of the people. Your Majesty will definitely give you justice and give justice to your elder brother. I, a son of the Pan family, live an upright life. What should I be afraid of!"
Well, after Mrs. Pan’s remarks about being an upright person, Pan Boheng, the youngest son of the Pan family, can no longer go out.
Jiming Temple is also a good place. Pan Boheng pays a visit.
Its history can be traced back to the Qixuan Temple in Soochow. The temple was located in the rear garden of the Kingdom of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.
In the 20th year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty (1387), Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty ordered the temple to be rebuilt, expanded in size, and inscribed "Jiming Temple". After continuous expansion, the courtyard became grand in scale, covering an area of more than a thousand acres, with palaces, pavilions, and platforms.
There are more than thirty dormitories.
The most famous scenery of Jiming Temple is the cherry blossoms in full bloom in spring. In this season, you can visit and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
This Jiming Temple is very popular with incense. When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we saw groups of scholars walking towards the mountain gate. It seemed that they were all seeking to be named on the gold medal list.
You ask for this, I ask for it, and he asks for it too. Who should we bless?
Look who paid for the incense?
However, today when Pan Boheng came to Jiming Temple, it happened to be a cloudy day, and everything was shrouded in a cold atmosphere. It really had a hazy mood like "many towers in the mist and rain".
This is how the ancient temple should give people, a lonely solemnity and solemnity, mottled vermilion, patina on the door knocker, rusty incense burner behind the mountain gate and the bright red ivy. I always feel that spring is the cycle of life.
The most beautiful bloom in the world, and heralds the next vigorous vitality.
If you can get Jinshi in a high school in such a season, it will be a great success.
Pan Boheng couldn't help but laugh as he thought about it.
Seeing his meaningful smile, Pan's mother scolded him: "Be pious in front of the Bodhisattva!"
With no other choice, Pan Boheng offered incense to the Bodhisattva very devoutly, knelt down and begged softly, asking the Bodhisattva to have mercy on him and let him pass, and then he would have a chance to wash away the shame on his body.
Then he accompanied Pan's mother to another hall to offer incense to Guanyin.
On the one hand, he wanted to give Pan Aqiang a son, and on the other hand, he wanted to find a marriage for his younger son, Pan Boheng.
It just so happens that Jiming Temple has a particularly good thing, that is, seeking marriage. People in Yingtian Mansion will come to Jiming Temple to offer incense and make wishes. There is even a river called Jinxiang River.
So why is Jiming Temple so effective in seeking marriage?
"Poetry" says: Women say cock crows, and scholars say "Mei Dan". It is better to drink wine and grow old together with your son.
Compared with the previous hall, most of the people here at Guanyin Bodhisattva are women.
Pan Boheng looked at the statue of the compassionate Bodhisattva and suddenly remembered an allusion.
Everyone seeks Guanyin, but if Guanyin is in trouble, who should he seek help from?
Guanyin Tao: It is better to seek for yourself than to seek for others.
But praying to God and worshiping Buddha is still effective, at least it provides psychological comfort.
Pan's mother has long wanted to come here to make a wish, what if Pan Boheng really meets the right person!
I didn’t meet the right woman, but I did meet the right man.
Because Zhu Kezang was accompanying the queen and the concubine on a private visit incognito, and came to Jiming Temple to see the cherry blossoms.
Zhu Kezang's sharp eyes saw the unlucky boy Pan Boheng at a glance, and called him over to chat for a few words.
Pan Boheng was naturally a little uneasy, after all, the emperor knew about what he had done.
Just when he wanted to kneel down and salute, Zhu Kezang stopped him.
"Xiao Pan, I know what's going on with you. Those scholars outside and the common people are just like the rain. You don't have to care about what they say. Prepare well for the exam. I will restore your Pan family's innocence!"
Zhu Kezang's words touched Pan Boheng's heart.
Then young Pan Boheng's eyes were slightly moist, and he thanked Zhu Kezang with his hands: "Thank you for your comfort, Your Majesty!"
"Good boy!"
Zhu Kezang patted him on the shoulder and confirmed Xiao Pan.
An emperor said he was a good boy, so what else was he afraid of?
In a sense, Pan Boheng is experiencing "cyber violence".
In ancient times, it was difficult to clean up after being "violated online".
Dong Qichang, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty in the year of Tianqi, was a famous calligrapher and painter. He was a second-rank official in the court and a famous leader of the Donglin Party. In the opposition, he was the leading painter in the world. He was famous in the south of the Yangtze River. No matter whether he advanced or retreated, he could not be compared with ordinary literati.
However, his enemies spread rumors, saying, "If you want firewood and rice, you must kill Dong Qichang first." Finally, he bribed hundreds of local rogues to burn down Dong Qichang's house, and when the fire broke out, he encouraged tens of thousands of people to rush into Dong's house.
Robbery of property, resulting in the famous "civilian copying of Dong's officials" incident.
Afterwards, he wrote the novel "Black and White Biography", which fabricated a lot of black spots in Dong Qichang's private life, including everything from molesting his daughter-in-law to seducing his old sister-in-law.
As a result, Dong Qichang was not only robbed at that time, but also infamy for thousands of years. To this day, there is still endless debate about whether Dong Qichang himself is a scumbag.
Compared to him, Pan Boheng is better!
