Chapter 5: Death due to poison. In order to prevent the protagonist from going back, he allowed his original body to affect the protagonist. The thought of going back gave the protagonist a headache. You don't want the protagonist to go back and find some special reasons, don't you? You have to deal with this kind of poisonous point. This is a routine from a few years ago.
A predecessor's last wish repeatedly affects the protagonist and is extremely poisonous.
The collapse, the entire collapse starting from Chapter 54, has so much foreshadowing, and no one is at fault, so whose fault is it? Is it the protagonist's fault to co-author it? Then I am the reader taking the role of the protagonist, so I was wrong too😭 Fuck you! I think you might as well look at morality and the rule of law, at least they don't mince words.
When it comes to writing about ancient officialdom and imperial examinations, your writing is good. Others have poor plots, poor writing skills, and poor plots and stories.
Sanjiang?
Isn't this all okay? I won't mention the family. It's a purely disgusting setting that has the influence of my predecessor. This setting is also purely used to filter and purify.
The family relationships in this book are very confusing. Generally speaking, the look and feel really takes up a lot of space. The author is not good at this aspect, so why not simplify it a little and create a normal family of parents?😅
Introduction to the Provincial Examination in the Thirteenth Year of Jiajing and the Sixteenth Year of Jiajing
In the early Ming Dynasty, the examiners of the rural examinations were instructors from various places. During the Jiajing period, they were presided over by officials from the capital. "History of the Ming Dynasty: Imperial Examination System" records: "In the seventh year of Jiajing, Zhang Cong, the minister of the Ministry of War, said that each province would send Beijing officials or Jinshi to conduct the examination, and two people from each province would go there." However, it was not until the twelfth year of Jiajing that the imperial court issued a new decree. Except for the two capitals, only instructors were used as examiners for the provincial examinations in each province, and Hanlin officials were no longer sent from the capital. (The Ministry of Science and Technology will not be sent back, and the provincial examination chiefs will not send Beijing officials.") The provincial examinations that the protagonist may participate in are the rural examinations in the Jiajing Thirteenth Year and the Jiajing Sixteenth Year. Among them, the examiner in the Jiajing Sixteenth Year is The quite famousXue Yingqi (Gu Xiancheng's teacher) —————————— [Introduction to the Fujian Rural Examination in the Thirteenth Year of Jiajing] The Fujian Rural Examination in the Thirteenth Year of Jiajing (1534).

Analogy ———————————————————— A comparative analysis of the two rankings: 1. Fuzhou Prefecture fluctuates "cliff-like", Xinghua Prefecture and Quanzhou Prefecture perform extremely stably, and Zhangzhou and Jianning Prefecture perform Not good The performance of Fuzhou Prefecture in the two rankings is very different. In the 13th year of Jiajing, Fuzhou Prefecture was the absolute hegemon in the imperial examination, accounting for half of the Fujian Jinshi with 21 candidates (accounting for 51% of the total); but in the 16th year of Jiajing, the number dropped sharply to 8. Quanzhou is relatively stable, with eight or nine people. However, Zhangzhou, Yanping, and Jianning Prefecture have not been so good. 2. The year of admission to the Jinshi is highly concentrated in the second year of the provincial examination Judging from the enrollment in these two rural examinations, the vast majority of people are admitted to the Jinshi in the second year after the provincial examination. . Among them: -16 people in the Jiajing 13th year list were Yiwei Jinshi; -11 people in the Jiajing 16th year list were Yiwei Jinshi. This shows that there is a strong continuity between the provincial examination and the subsequent joint examination, and the provincial examination list basically predicts the next subject. The main force in admission to the examination. • Summary: Judging from the breadth and thickness of the talent distribution, it is obvious that Xue Yingqi has some blessings from the examiners. Can the protagonist Jiajing pass the exam in Thirteenth Year?

According to local chronicles and other historical materials, the order of appointment of Fujian's academic officials (deputy academic envoys/inspectors) during the Jiajing period is roughly as follows: · Shao Rui: In the fourth year of Jiajing's reign, he served as deputy academic inspector in Fujian. · Guo Chiping: In the eighth year of Jiajing reign, he served as deputy envoy of Fujian Province.

He died in office the following year and was one of the "Later Seven Sons". —————————————— The following is a summary of Pan Huang's life and deeds in Fujian, the current Ti scholar (In short, he is a man with a distinguished family background and outstanding knowledge - Ying Tianfu Jieyuan, Jinshi The thick thighs of the body) Wuyuan "Nine Jinshis in one family, six ministers and four ministers" Between Chenghua and Jiajing years in the Ming Dynasty, nine people from the Pan clan in Shili, Taoxi were among the Jinshi, including 4 who were ministers, censors of the capital, and other second-rank officials. Nine Jinshi: Pan Jue, Pan Zhen, Pan Dan, Pan Xuan, Pan Jian, Pan Qi, Pan Huang, Pan Yi and Pan Yi. Among them are Six Books of Four Ministers: Pan Zhen, Pan Dan, Pan Xuan, Pan Huang. The family is extremely prominent. The preface to the genealogy was written in the third year of Wanli by Zhang Juzheng, who was then a bachelor of Zhongji Palace. It can be found. First, paste a paragraph: [The person who lived in Taoxi in Wu, if Pu Xihuang (Pan Huang), sent to Nanji, Li Shangshu Four, added the prince Taibao, posthumous title Jiansu. Fangtang Gongjian served as a worker and supervised the eight provinces of Mu. He was promoted to minister and given a title like Jian Su, with the posthumous title of Xiang Yi. On the first day of Hanquan Gong's reign, he sent troops to guard Guangdong and Guangxi. Bifeng Gongzhen also used this position to admonish Annan for disobeying the decree. The result was as he said. He thought about it and was awarded the title of Shangshujue. At the beginning of the Jiajing reign, he inherited the title of Grand Bo Gong from Heaven and protected him with his reputation. He promoted Jinshi for the first time, paid homage to passers-by, offered sacrifices to the emperor's mausoleum on his behalf, lined up the Golden Gate and entered the Purple Gate. He was like Fang Bo Zhi Yuan Gong, Qian Xian Dan Gong Jue, and Shi Phosphorus Gong Xuan, all of whom were outstanding and famous ministers at that time. The pastoral guards of Yujunzhou are listed all over the world. Therefore, at that time, there were nine Jinshis in one discipline, six books and four ministers; there were two subjects with six exams, two rankings with four Jinshis, the reputation of Tangdi with four splendors, and Qiaozi with one splendor. How prosperous! —————————————— Pan Huang (1496--1555), whose courtesy name was Uncle, and whose name was Puxi, was from Taoxi, Wuyuan County, South Zhili. In the 14th year of Zhengde, Yingtianfu Jieyuan was awarded the 28th Jinshi in the third place in the 16th year of Zhengde (1521). Nephew of Pan Dan (who later became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing). Li Guan Yueqing magistrate of the county, two departments of rites and officials. Participated in the compilation of "Minglun Dadian". He successively served as the deputy envoy of Fujian Province and the left minister of the Ministry of Officials. He successively served as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry of Nanjing, and the Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing. Died in October of the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing (1555). He was given to Prince Shaobao, given the posthumous title of Jian Su, and given a funeral ceremony. In the 11th year of Jiajing (1532), he served as the deputy envoy to promote education in Fujian Province. During his tenure, he "strictly enforced regulations, provided relief to the poor and scolded the poor, and searched and burned bad teachers in the shops. He recruited boys from the lower counties to study together and established Fu Ren and Discipline. In the second year of his career, Xu Jie and Zhang Gun were invited to serve as scholars. "The scholars were very good at it, and they were famous in the world. They built an academy and taught scholars first, and then studied literature. The trend of scholars changed in the 11th year of Jiajing." , Chaired by Zhang Dalun, Hu Yue, etc., The Fujian Public Security Bureau published the "Collected Works of Mr. Hui'an Zhu Wengong" written by Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty. Pan Huang was also one of the important participants in promoting the publication of the book. After the catalogue, there is "Jiajing Renchenqiu Post-Jiaxu Study in Wuyuan Pan Huang"</ b> Preface. In the preface, it is believed that through the editing of Zhu Xi's "Collected Works", "the master has become a master of eclecticism and advanced studies. After many years of study and accumulation, the relationship between teachers and friends, and the economics are consistent, and the organization is clear and detailed, which is enough to give full play to the "original meaning"." "Collected Notes" and "Quotations" explore the essence of sages through twists and turns, thus fully affirming the status and role of this book in Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism. He recalled that during the Qingyuan Party Ban in the Southern Song Dynasty, "the ban on learning was strict, and every word was destroyed. Every time I read "Please Zhan Shuai stop reading the book", I always cover up the book and take a breath, which is the most reckless of evil villains." Zhou Zimei's "Tianyi Pavilion Collection Sutra" recorded by Pan In the 13th year of Jiajing reign, Huang engraved two volumes of "Xishan Zhenwen Zhenggong Shuji" written by Song Zhendexiu in Minzhong. The record says: "Jiajing finely engraved large-character edition, white mouth, eight lines and sixteen characters, with the same annotation. In the previous chapter, there is a narration in the book "Ding Ji" written by Zhu Ding. In the 13th year of Jiajing's reign, Pan Huang of Wuyuan came to Chongzheng Academy in Fujian. There is the engraver's name below the edge of the book. "Wei Chongzheng Academy is Chongzheng Academy, located in Fuzhou. Volume 1 of "Fujian General Chronicles·School Chronicles" of the Republic of China states: "Chongzheng Academy is located in the east of Shenguang Temple. Jiang Baojian, deputy inspector of schools during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, was later deposed. " "Guochao Xianzonglu": There is literature in Huang Dynasty, friendship and order are cultivated, and scholars' opinions are important. Chronology: In the 14th year of Zhengde, Yingtianfu Jieyuan was established in 1519. In the 16th year of Zhengde, in 1521, he was ranked the 28th Jinshi in the third place. In 1522, he learned about Yueqing County, Wenzhou Prefecture.

In April 1547, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs moved to the Left Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In September 1550, the Minister of Hubu was changed to the Minister of Nanjing. In May 1552, the Minister of Nanjing was changed to the Minister of Officials.

I read two pirated copies, and this one was reprinted
When I read Chao Zai, I had just graduated and was still wandering around the construction site. It was the study of a poor boy who encouraged me to leave the construction site and take the urban investment examination. When I read Zhang Yue's study, it deeply encouraged me and made me return to my hometown from a different place. The characters in the book were in the imperial examination, and we were not the same. Thanks to the doorkeeper, now I am less stressed and can support you. Here is a paragraph about my favorite path to study when I came from a poor family.
Why don't you promote your old book? I don't even know if I'll release a new one.
There was no publicity! Fortunately, I am very blessed today, come to the door god homepage to take a look 😍
Why are there still people writing children's books? I'm not asking you to change the world quickly, but you're not even qualified to change, so what do you expect? I don't know why I have to start from a young age. Do you want to write millions of words? A complete historical novel?
I have read the first two books of Happiness. The Great Ming Dynasty Wenkui is generally good, and the number one scholar from a poor family is passable. The beginning of this book seems stiff and confusing, so I am a little disappointed at the moment. I feel that happiness's knowledge and writing skills are increasing, but my ability to tell stories is declining. Let's keep it up.
Can you skip the drama at home as soon as possible? I don't think it's very interesting. The main protagonist has never dealt with his family before. What the hell is the sudden reconciliation? Are you not going to slap yourself in the face?
Did the protagonist reconcile with his family later?
Currently, I see Kuai Tongsheng taking the exam. It was written in the previous chapter that the original character had a bitter feud with his family. After the protagonist took over, he was completely disconnected from the family. Later, he gave up if he wanted to have family fun.
It is another routine of modern people to take the eight-part essay test, which is a pointless waste of life.
Chapter 5: Big poison, future generations should be cautious
The advantage of the author's book is that the writing style is more delicate. The disadvantage is that it smells like an old woman's foot wraps and is long. The protagonist traveled to ancient times and basically made no contribution. He did not let you go to ancient times to develop nuclear weapons. But it can't be justified even if there is no social progress at all. Also, the author often likes to quote scriptures. Write a chapter about an allusion
The congratulatory note is here
The congratulations are here, the congratulations are here! Suddenly I heard that the door god has published a new book, and I specially offer a copy of [Wen Si Quan Yong] and 6 [Guaranteed Monthly Tickets]! I wish the door god a bright mind, wonderful pens, literary thoughts, and good luck with the new book! 🤭🤭🤭🐉🐉🐉🤝🤝🤝
This book starts off much worse than the previous two! What is the situation of the protagonist's family? Now she's the eldest lady, now she's the aunt, now she's the stepmother, the writing is vague! It's not clear why he left his family!
Why do you want to be a dog for Jiajing?
The writing power of Menshen is getting better and better, and it still has the familiar flavor. It has put aside the pretentious and slap-in-the-face plot that was popular in the first two books at that time. This book is a surprise in the silent place. After a few strokes, it outlines a studious and diligent scholar who "has been addicted to learning since he was a child, but his family is poor and has no way to read books." He can't let go of the book.
Why do people like to write about bastards? Are bastards too poisonous to write about? Very curious
Why did I discover this book when I was in Chapter 10 of Happiness? This will last until the end of the year 😭
Hello author, let me tell you first, I'm sorry. I first knew you as a Ming warrior of the Takeda family. That novel can be said to be the first online novel I have ever read. Although I haven't finished reading it, it left a deep impression on me. When I read this novel, I can say that it gave me a lot of pleasure. One twist after another, one plot after another, it was really very satisfying. You may not know that you were in bad shape during that period. I feel very depressed. Without your novel, I don't know what I would be like. Fortunately, there was that novel that helped me get through it. Since then, I have been looking forward to when you will write another book about Japan's Warring States Period. Of course, you haven't written since. Anyway, the first online novel I ever read was your Takeda Family Samurai of the Ming Dynasty. Now I also plan to prepare my own novel. Here I wish the author to write better and better books, and to become a great author, or even a platinum author.
I have been chasing the poor prime minister for five years. Congratulations on the new book 🌹. Eleven copies are given. Looking forward to the excitement!
It was foreshadowed that his family was not good to him, so he ran away from home. Then the stepmother began to be whitewashed. Put the responsibility on your father. Later, will he clear his biological father?
Prodigies of the Ming Dynasty
Chenghua is the golden age of child prodigies In the seventh year of Chenghua, Yang Tinghe passed the Sichuan Provincial Examination at the age of twelve; Yang Yiqing also participated in the provincial exam at the age of fourteen and was recommended to study in the Hanlin Academy. In the eighth year of Chenghua, he became a Jinshi at the age of eighteen. In the thirteenth year of Chenghua, Jiang Mian was admitted to Jieyuan in Guangxi at the age of fifteen. Fei Hong, who was in Jiangxi Jieyuan at the age of sixteen in the nineteenth year of Chenghua, became the number one scholar at the age of twenty. Li Dongyang, who was earlier, was also a child prodigy and became a second-class Jinshi at the age of eighteen. Cheng Minzheng is also a famous child prodigy. At the age of sixteen, he married Li Xian's daughter from Shuntian Prefecture. In the second year of Chenghua, he was ranked second at the age of twenty. He is the youngest among more than 350 people on the same list. Except for Cheng Minzheng, these other people have all served as chief ministers of the cabinet. It can even be said that from the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties to the early years of the Jiajing dynasty. Almost all the first assistants passed the imperial examination during the Chenghua period. Besides Zhang Juzheng, the child prodigy during the Jiajing period, I think the more prodigy is Zhao Shichun. He was the third in the imperial examination at the age of thirteen. There are many famous child prodigies in Fujian. Lin Wenzai is from Min County. He was ranked third in the "Spring and Autumn Annals" at the age of 13. In the 13th year of Yongle, he was ranked second and second in Jinshi at the age of 17. His brother Lin Wenzhi was also a young Jinshi. Dai Dabin, passed the Fujian Provincial Examination at the age of 12, and won the top prize at the age of 19. Liang Huairen was a 16-year-old scholar and a 20-year-old Jinshi in the eighth year of Jiajing.
Several anecdotes about marriages between officials and officials in the Ming Dynasty
Many people are influenced by movies and TV dramas and think that children should be treated differently, and that they should pay attention to the order of elders and young ones. The elders cannot get married and the younger ones cannot get married. Civil servants should not marry nobles and nobles, etc. But looking at the treatment of concubines in various dynasties, "Tang Law Commentary: Household Marriage Law": Those who should share the land, house and property should be divided equally among the brothers. "Song Xingtong·Household Marriage Law": Those who should be divided into fields and houses, as well as property, should be divided equally between brothers. "Da Ming Ling·Hu Ling": All legitimate concubine sons, unless there is an official's influence, the eldest descendants will be eliminated first. According to the analysis of the family's property and land, regardless of the birth of wives, concubines, and maids, they will be divided equally according to the number of children. "Laws of the Qing Dynasty": For a man who is a legitimate concubine, all his eldest descendants should be eliminated first, except for his official position. According to his analysis, the family property and land will be divided equally according to the number of children, regardless of the birth of wives, concubines, and maids. Even the more senior people are, the less particular they are about poverty. There are also many high-ranking officials from common people, such as Gu Dingchen, Sun Chengen and so on. A few more representative examples of marriages: 1. Wang Hao Wang Hao, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty (Tanhua, Shangshu of Hubu, Bachelor of Wuyingdian, posthumously gifted to the Taifu), let's see how he is. The marriage status of each child First look at the son: The eldest son Wang Yanzhe Mother: the stepmother Zhang Marriage: The wife Mao is the daughter of Mao Jue, the deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate The second son Wang Yan Su Mother: Hu Taiyiren, the concubine, the daughter of the magistrate of Sanhe County Marriage: His wife Chen is the daughter of Chen Juan, the left deputy censor of the Imperial Procuratorate The third son Wang Yanling Mother: Hu Taiyiren, the concubine br>Marriage: Wife Zhu is the daughter of Zhu Xizhou, the number one scholar and the crown prince's Taibao Fourth son Wang Yanzhao Mother: Concubine Wanshi Wife: Unclear, it is not certain whether they are married or not, it is very likely that Wang Yanzhao Hao was not married when she died Let's see her daughter again The eldest queen Miaoqing Mother: Wang Hao's first wife was the Wu family, who was from a prominent local family Marriage: The son of Xu Chao, who has been doing business for generations Xu Jin, Empress Xu Jin was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Minister Second Queen Fuyuan Mother: Stepmother Zhang Marriage: Jinshi, the son of Zhu Xizhao, the imperial envoy Third Queen Shanqing Mother: Stepmother Li family, unknown origin Marriage: Jinshi, son of Shao Bao, Minister of Rites Fourth Queen Miaolong Mother: Hu Taiyiren, a concubine Marriage: Tanhua, Bachelor of Wuyingdian, Jin, Minister of Household Affairs Noble son Five queens Mother: Concubine Hu Taiyiren Marriage: Son of Yan Jing, the prefect of Zhangde Summary: There is no obvious difference in the marriage of Wang Hao's children. There is also a decree in the side room. —————————————— 2. Chen Yiqin The situation of Chen Yiqin's family is simply the weirdest among the weird. To put it simply, this family does not distinguish between concubines and concubines, and respects two wives. Of course, strictly speaking, the concubine is a concubine, which is even more interesting, because the descendant of this "concubine" is the only father and son Zaifu (Chen Yiqin and Chen Yubi) in the Ming Dynasty. The protagonist is Chen Xin, Chen Yiqin's grandfather. The general process is as follows: Chen Yiqin's great-grandfather Chen Heng, when Chen Yiqin's grandfather Chen Xin was very young, went back to his hometown to sweep the grave, and got engaged to his old neighbor Qiu, and agreed that the children of the two families would get married in the future. But Chen Heng died on his way home after getting engaged. His wife didn't know about it in her hometown, so she married her son Chen Xin to a daughter named Hu. His mother died when Chen Xin was 8 years old. In this case, he would most likely have to rely on his in-laws, so he got married at the age of 15. The relationship between husband and wife is good. In the second year after the marriage, the in-laws and the girl whom the father was engaged to marry came. When it comes to the paperwork for the engagement, the father's wife should be the wife named Qiu. When it comes to the de facto marriage, the mother's wife should be named Hu as the wife. Chen Xin did not want to marry at first, but his wife Hu persuaded him to fulfill his father's promise and was willing to give up his position as the main wife to Qiu. Anyway, they all got married in the end. In theory, the Qiu family is regarded as a concubine. I haven't looked up the collected biographies of other members of his family, so I don't know what to say about this. Later Chen Xin was seriously ill and was about to die, and Hu committed suicide first😥😅😒. Qiu once injured himself, but eventually survived. Mr. Qiu gave birth to three sons. Among them, Chen Yiqin's uncle Chen Daodao became a Jinshi and became an official. He asked someone to write a record. He said that they were both mothers and had the same imperial title regardless of their legitimate concubines. Qiu's grandson is Chen Yiqin. Chen Yiqin and Chen Yubi both reached the position of prime minister. "History of the Ming Dynasty: Biography of Chen Yubi" records: "In the end of the Ming Dynasty, the father and son were the prime ministers and assistants, but the Nanchong Chen family. ' So bloody —————————————— 3. Lu Bing: Lu Bing's five concubines: The eldest daughter married the Duke Zhu Shi Tai, the second daughter married Yan Shaoting, the grandson of Yan Song and the second son of Yan Shifan, the third daughter married Xu Ying, the third son of Xu Jie, the fourth daughter married Sun Sheng, the descendant of Sun Xiang, the minister of rites, and the fifth daughter married Wu Shou, the son of Wu Peng, the minister of official affairs. (Wu Peng's daughter married Dong Fen) These five daughters were all the children of Lu Bing's side wife, Li. Lu Bing had married four first wives, all of whom died before Lu Bing. Lu Bing would not marry again (the wife-killing demon). Lu Bing and Wu Peng are double in-laws, and Xu Jie's son and Yan Shifan's son are brothers-in-law. Therefore, the legend that Xu Jie married his granddaughter to Yan Song's grandson as a concubine in order to win over the Yan family is too unreliable. ———————————————— So some online comments on concubines and concubines, without looking at the specific circumstances of the specific dynasty, blindly believe that concubines are of low status and can be bought and sold, which is unrealistic. In the imperial examination era, anyone born as a concubine could take the exam to become an official. In the Song Dynasty, the trend of giving gifts to biological mothers began to rise, and the gap narrowed. There is no need to forcefully set up intense conflicts in the plot here. As the saying goes, once the imperial edict is issued, you will live your life as ordered.
It's really amazing. He's an experienced author. What does a bunch of sick sentences in one chapter mean?
