Chapter 472 471 Betting

Wei Guangde did not go back to the yard directly. When Li Fang reminded him, he remembered that today's palace examination, and the gambling house was about to be closed in the past two days.

He turned around and went out of the side door of the palace to find his coachman Li San.

"You go back to find Zhang Ji and ask him to bring a thousand taels of silver to the gambling house. This is the top scorer in the palace examination. Let him take Xu Shixing and make a separate bid. Don't place bets in a gambling house."

Wei Guangde quickly ordered Li San.

King Yu knew that the top scorers had to place bets at several gambling houses in Beijing separately, because they were afraid that the owner of the gambling house would dare to bet on the wrong side.

If you dare to eat the money from Prince Yu’s Mansion, you don’t want to live anymore.

However, if you place bet separately and win the bet, the gambling shop will not suffer too much loss.

If you make money easily, why bother with trouble?

Because Wang Xijue won the Huiyuan, it seems that everyone in the capital is optimistic that he will win the top scorer again. According to what Zhang Juzheng said, it seems that buying Wang Xijue will pay 6 in ten, buying Xu Shixing will pay 8 in ten, and other tribute students who are ranked high in the exam, such as Yu Youding and Zhang Tingchen.

Their odds are higher, but the probability of winning the No. 1 pick is naturally lower.

Wei Guangde smiled at Tang Ruji, and then returned to his seat and sat down. He just picked up the book and saw Zhang Juzheng coming in before he could read it.

Wei Guangde also learned to buy lottery tickets at that time. If he buys winning or losing according to power, he often loses money. Even if he doesn’t have much money in gambling, he can often make some money.

As officials from Honglu Temple sang the first-class list, the top scorer in the current academic year and the second-class candidate, Tanhua was considered to have settled.

In China for more than two thousand years, there were not many real politicians among the power, but more were politicians.

When Ouyang Yijing heard them speak, he naturally knew what was going on. At this time, he smiled and interrupted: "I guess, the Ministry of Personnel will consider this relationship and should be given different positions in different places, so it is unlikely to meet."

But I just met Li Fang and saw those gambling tickets, my heart was itchy again. That's why Zhang Ji also asked to participate.

"Thank you too."

The key is to participate, not to make that amount of money.

As for the others, they may be considered dark horses, but the gambling house did not open a market. After all, there are 300 tribute students, and it is impossible for the gambling house to open all of them to bet.

Emperor Jiajing sat on the imperial throne, looked at the inscription on the desk, and spoke lightly.

Wei Guangde smiled and there were no outsiders in the room, so he immediately told him about his encounter with Li Fang.

Zhu Gun and Zhang Dao, the students who failed the exam, had already traveled to the capital under the leadership of Zhu Shilong and Zhu's eldest son. Even Duan Mengxian did not stay in the hall on the palace exam day, which was a big deal.

Everyone in the court and the public knew that he and Yan Song were not in dealing with each other, but in front of Yan Song, he could still work together well. This is a typical politician.

Lao Kan laughed and said, "When the appointment is given, what should we say if the father and son meet in the yamen?"

"Gemaster Xu, please."

"Do you go out and notify people to buy Xu Shixing and bet that he will win the No. 1 pick?"

"If the father and son really gather in the capital, I think Mr. Zeng would have resigned and retired, so as not to delay his son's future."

However, Xu Jie is a man who is very good at concealing himself and always smiles when he sees people, even if he is extremely unhappy with someone.

Wei Guangde, Lao Kan and others nodded slightly.

Soon, the Miqian seal on the test paper was opened, and the name of the tribute student also appeared in everyone's eyes.

After chatting for more than half an hour, I saw the carriage coming from the guild hall. Duan Mengxian got off the carriage and was welcomed by the store.

This time, Xu Shixing won the top scorer, and he earned more than King Yu. As for Zhang Juzheng and Tang Ruji, they only bet 200 taels and 30 taels, and they could not compare with him.

"I heard that Uncle Zeng passed the exam?" Lao Kan asked while sitting beside Wei Guangde.

When he came in and saw Wei Guangde sitting there, Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "I went to the toilet but didn't see you. I was still wondering if I were going to do good things."

Wei Guangde could only smile, but he really didn't know what attitude Zeng Shengwu would have when he saw his father back.

Today I was just participating in the palace examination, and it would take some days for the yellow list to be posted, so the merchants in the capital did not come. After posting the yellow list and ranking, everyone would gather here to celebrate again.

The Wenhua Palace held a banquet to entertain examiners, which is also a fixed ritual, that is, to comfort the hard work of the document-reading officers and at the same time demonstrated their gratitude.

Zhang Juzheng asked curiously.

Not long after, Emperor Jiajing moved here and the work of reading the paper officially began.

"Hahaha"

As mentioned before, when the tribute students handed in the paper, the attending paper officer had already divided their papers into first, second and third grades according to the test scores. What the paper readers did was more about whether there were any new ideas in the paper, and they had to quickly put their own judgment.

"Yu Youding, the third place in the palace examination, is the first place in the palace examination."

Of course, Wei Guangde would not buy a dark horse, but unlike the World Cup and major European football leagues in later generations, the Sports Lottery Center has also launched a lot of gameplay.

But when I was in the imperial examination, I often played money with my classmates and friends, so I felt relieved. I guess it was the habit I developed at that time.

Yin Shidan is still in charge of the affairs of the royal palace. It is not surprising that he is not in the house, but it is a bit strange that Zhang Juzheng is not there either.

Of course, Duan Mengxian would not have such treatment, so he was left behind early, and basically the palace examination rankings were determined based on the ranking of the examinations.

Wei Guangde smiled.

Ouyang Yijing's words make sense, but in the past few years, after all, Zeng Shengwu is still three years away from the exam after nine years. In three years, as long as the exam is good, he must be promoted.

The two of them whispered, and the work they had in their hands was not delayed.

The great uncle they mentioned was naturally Zeng Fan and Zeng Shengwu's father.

Of course, Duan Mengxian did not have the luck of Wei Guangde. He was favored by Emperor Jiajing and was guessed by Yan Song, so he was selected during the final reading of the paper. Otherwise, he would not even be qualified to let the emperor read the paper.

Wei Guangde muttered a few words in his heart, and then he started reading the book seriously.

Knowing that it was a gambling Xu Shixing, if Wei Guangde hadn't said he would go to the Jiujiang Guild Hall to ask about Duan Mengxian's palace examination, King Yu would have been afraid that he would have kept them down to drink that night.

"Yes, you didn't tell the rumors about Xu Shixing yesterday. It's so interesting. I bet on him in high school and it depends on his luck."

Emperor Jiajing saw everyone and said, then turned to Huang Jin and said, "Give me a banquet."

Later, the Imperial Street Promotion Officers and the yellow lists posted had nothing to do with Wei Guangde. After leaving the palace gate, he bowed to the group of new Jinshi and walked to the side. He would go back to Prince Yu's Mansion with Yin Shidan, Zhang Juzheng and others.

"I'm old and useless. You have to worry about these papers and select materials for the country."

"The old Xuge is getting stronger"

Wei Guangde nodded and smiled bitterly: "In the future, Meng Xian will be called in the same year when he meets Uncle Zeng."

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

The reader read one volume, and a total of twelve copies were divided into three categories and placed on the imperial desk, waiting for the final decision by Emperor Jiajing.

"Eight hundred taels of silver are obtained."

"well."

"That's it, you guys look at the other ones."

After a night of intense review, the next morning, all the paper readers took the sorted papers to Wenhua Palace together.

Speaking of which, Zeng Shengwu and they were both in the same year, but his father became a junior in the officialdom. I really don’t know what to call him when he meets him in the future.

In Prince Yu's mansion, it seems that Yin Shidan did not get a gamble, but even if he bet, he would probably feel uncomfortable now. After all, Wang Xijue, who is optimistic about, did not win the No. 1 pick, but the second place, and the bet is lost.

He spoke lightly again and confirmed the results of this palace examination. However, inadvertently, the number one and second-tier positions were adjusted.

Although he was full of words, when it comes to gambling, Wei Guangde sensitively noticed that Zhang Juzheng and Tang Ruji were obviously moved, and his eyes were lit.

As for Ouyang Yijing, although Wei Guangde is much younger than him, he is leaning against Prince Yu's mansion, which shows that he has a bright future. In the imperial examination, both he and Lao Kan are one exam earlier than him, so he is also a junior.

"You ask me who I ask, haha."

Xu Jie smiled at Yuan Wei.

"I told Your Majesty before that you are in your prime exam for this palace examination. I am in my 60s and I am not energetic."

In Wei Guangde's eyes, Xu Shixing's probability is slightly higher, and Wang Xijue's probability is also very high, but it is obviously not as high as Xu Shixing's.

It is certainly clear which one has a better future for me or my son. As long as Zeng Fu is not a fan of the officialdom, he will definitely give way to his son.

Then, Ouyang Yijing analyzed again.

Perhaps after the current officials retire, no one will know about this again. When they pass through the Meridian Gate and Fengtian Gate see Fengtian Hall, they will be impressed by the grandeur of the hall.

In fact, Xu Jie is only a few years older than Yuan Wei. He is only a few years earlier than Yuan Wei's entry into the cabinet. Speaking of which, both of them are almost the same.

There is some rumor. If anyone is interested in a dark horse, he can talk to the gambling house, which means he is a bet.

The marking proceeds very quickly, and it is slowly unfolded when a tribute student submits the paper, rather than waiting for the exam paper to be collected before starting.

However, buying lottery tickets and gambling is just a pastime. After all, nine out of ten gambling will lose. Even if you do charity donations, you will lose interest if you always lose too much.

After scanning the question paper behind, Emperor Jiajing did not seem to have any intention of adjusting his position, and his eyes were searching back and forth in the first two test papers, as if he was determining which test paper is more suitable for his wishes.

No matter what, the palace examination is the last level of the imperial examination. The ranking of the palace examination is really important. Whether you can upgrade from the third grade to the second grade is this last chance, and no one will take it lightly.

When Zeng Shengwu finished the local exam, he might not agree to be transferred back to the Beijing yamen to become an official, which would be the most troublesome.

They are all scholars, and everyone knows all the habits.

Zhang Juzheng stood up, thought for a while and said, and as he said, Tang Ruji, who was in the other side, also stood up and said, "I didn't buy it together, I didn't buy it either. I didn't remind you, but I forgot about this."

Yes, seeing that Wei Guangde and the others were betting, Li Fang couldn't help but finally gambled, and took out a hundred taels of silver more than Zhang Juzheng.

"Let's go, congratulate King Yu. After betting on so many subjects, I finally won."

Yin Shidan called them out, and said to them.

Obviously, he does not support officials in gambling, especially the top scorer. This is the national talent slogan. It should be solemn and solemn. How can he be infected with the smell of money?
