Chapter 353: Hajj


The list was officially released today, and the top three have just been released.

The Ministry of Rites did not come to greet the envoys of the two countries, but he was busy with this matter.

Seeing that the person on the opposite side was a guard of honor for foreign envoys led by Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, the students who were shouting excitedly did not dare to collide, and hurriedly stepped aside.

Meng Fusheng was a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he was also particularly concerned about the situation of the current imperial examination, he restrained his horse, asked a few words to the students who were crowding the middle list and praised the horses, and when he returned to the ranks of the country behind the mountain, he was amazed.

Seeing many Confucian students on the street, coupled with the onlookers, Ping Nu was afraid that there would be tens of thousands of people, such a spectacular scene had never been seen before, and asked Xia Xun with curiosity, she already knew that this was the situation when she was on the list of the imperial examinations in the Middle Kingdom, but she still saw it for the first time, and she couldn't help but be curious.

Everyone has a love for beauty, more than ten years ago, when the Bengong envoy came to make a pilgrimage to Emperor Hongwu, Meng Fusheng, who was still a minor official of the Ministry of Rites, received them, and already knew what their dignity was.

But he has been adapting to it for more than ten years, because the beauty of the nobles of this era is really shocking, and he still can't accept it.

On the contrary, to these people behind the mountain, he looked at it is still very pleasing to the eye, as soon as he saw the beautiful princess ask himself, Meng Shilang hurriedly said: "Your Highness doesn't know, today I refer to tens of thousands of students, only one hundred and ten scholars, but it's strange, the top three, champions, Bangyan, Tanhua, are all from Ji'an, Jiangxi, the top three, the champion and Tanhua are also from Ji'an, the top six Ji'an people occupy five seats, of which the second champion Wu Pu is still Huiyuan, so concentrated unprecedented." ” Pingnu was shocked when she heard this, and exclaimed: "Ten thousand people are examined, and one hundred people are promoted, and among the hundred people, they are the first, and they are all concentrated in one place.

Your country is a vast country, which is a very rare thing."

Meng Shilang nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, unheard of" Xia Xun listened to it on the side, and was also secretly surprised, he immediately thought of the north-south scientific research case of the Hongwu Dynasty, and only thought in his heart: "The top six, five Ji'an people, no one will make trouble, let's have another case of the north and south."

There is really no one to make trouble, because the north and the south have been divided, and the regional differences have been fully taken into account, and they have tried to be fair.

The students of Nanbang also know that the strongest style of learning in the south today is indeed Ji'an Mansion.

The chief examiner of the undergraduate Qiufu is Fang Xiaoru, Fang Xiaoru is a native of Ninghai, Zhejiang, and has been a professor of government studies in Hanzhong Mansion, even if he is partial, he should be partial to his hometown father or his students in Hanzhong Mansion, and there are not many students in these two places.

At that time, Ji'an Mansion was indeed outstanding and unrivaled in the world.

Later, the imperial examination in the second year of Yongle was even more sensational than this time, a total of 472 scholars were awarded in that subject, so many people, the top three in the first class and the top four in the second class were all from Ji'an Prefecture, and there were seven scholars in the cabinet, five of whom were also from Ji'an Prefecture, which showed the prosperity of the local literary style.

Pingnu sighed and admired, Xia Xun had a shocked face, but there was only one He Tianyang, looking left and right, and there was no reaction to what he was reading, Meng Shilang glanced at him secretly, and secretly slandered himself: "This prince and concubine seem to know a lot about my Middle-earth culture, but this bearded prince seems to be a thing that does not learn and has no skills."

The envoys of the two countries did not meet immediately, but were taken into the special place where foreign envoys were placed in Honglu Temple, let them stay, and then the Ministry of Rites arranged personnel to teach them the etiquette of advancing and retreating in the court, so as not to lose the dignity of the king.

There is nothing to do with Xia Xun this, He Tianyang made a bitter face, followed behind a small official of the Ministry of Rites, bowed, and was miserable for three days.

It is said that the envoys of their own country and the envoys of the mountain back country were arranged in the left and right courtyards, and there was a main hall and a main courtyard in between, and they were at peace with each other and did not interact with each other, but there was no conflict in these three days.

Xia Xun has not made contact with his people in the past three days, and he has just come to Nanjing, which is the time to attract attention, and it is not appropriate to make any moves at this time.

Three days have passed, He Tianyang has learned etiquette and etiquette is almost the same, those red tape, at least compared to the look and feel, this early in the morning, led by Honglu Temple, straight to the palace.

The prince and concubine also want to enter the palace, but they don't have to see the chauffeur in the court, their own queen is received in the harem, Xia Xun can't go to the court with this identity, he can only wait outside the noon gate, he looked at He Tianyang, and saw He Tianyang sitting in the car, his eyes were straight, his mouth was chanting, and he was still carrying some etiquette of the court to see the driver, which was really a little uneasy.

He thought for a while, and then instructed: "Tianyang, in terms of etiquette, you don't have to be too restrained, just show a respectful and sincere attitude."

It doesn't matter if there is even a little mistake in the etiquette system, you must know that in the eyes of our officials, the barbarians in all directions are uncivilized, so even if you are ignorant and make a mistake, no one will laugh at you, but will take it for granted.

So, it's okay to be rude in your actions.

It doesn't matter if the language is vulgar, just pay attention to the fact that you are a small border country and have a sense of awe for the kingdom.

Remember, there are two things that must be said, one: you came this time, you want to establish a tributary relationship with the Ming Dynasty, please ask the Ming Emperor to give another one, you are from afar, you have long admired the culture of the country, you want to stay in the capital, learn the customs and cultural relics of the country, thank you for teaching you to say that words, have memorized it" Thank you for the words drawn up for him, although he has tried to colloquial as much as possible, in He Tianyang's ears, there are still some words, but fortunately, this is a sentence that he must recite several times since he left Shuangyu, but he really memorized it by rote.

He Tianyang wiped his sweat, nodded to Xia Xun, and grinned reluctantly.

Seeing him sweating nervously, Xia Xun was anxious, and asked again uneasily: "You also memorized the national letter, you are illiterate, don't take the national letter down, or read it wrong." ” Pingnu couldn't bear to be so embarrassed by the man she liked, so she said for him: "Don't worry, my lord, Pingnu has to take the test against Brother Tianyang several times every day, and he has memorized these words backwards." ” He Tianyang wiped the beads of sweat that kept coming out again, and said sneeringly: "Yes, yes, I can carry it all back."

Don't interrupt me, I just need to start and I can recite it all in one breath, and if someone interrupts me in the middle of my speech, then I can't remember. ” Xia Xun wanted to laugh, but how to laugh at such a juncture, he thought for a while, and then said: "Don't worry, in the court, no one will easily interrupt others to speak, if someone really interrupts you, so that you can't remember how to say, you will pretend to be extremely respectful, and say it again from the beginning, people only say that you don't want to be rude to the Son of Heaven, at most laugh at you for being stubborn, but you won't have other ideas." ” He Tianyang nodded vigorously, and didn't look at the two of them, just muttered: "The apocalypse is bright, and all nations are light; There are no waves in the sea, and China is peaceful.

Where in the rate of the shore, who is not the only one.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Four Saints, the Three Sides of Jiu'an, the Wei Jia Yunei, and the Four Seas Guest Service.

The tribute festival is not entered, the solid edge is more than Yuyi, the road is far away, the king of the mountain is now, the prince of the special dispatch, looking up at the national light, and offering the party" Pingnu took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat on his sideburns, and complained to Xia Xun: "My lord, don't say it, see if you force him" "Okay, okay, I'll not talk about it."

Xia Xun smiled bitterly and stepped aside, worried in his heart: "This goods, will it work at the bottom?"

Emperor Jianwen sat in the court, and at the same time met with the envoys of the two countries.

The first to see the driver was said to be the envoy repair doctor Shimazu Mitsuo, He Tianyang did not rob him, Shimazu doctor saw the opportunity, proudly stepped forward to see the driver, explained to Zhu Yunwen Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wanted to rebuild tributary relations with the Ming Dynasty, and presented a list of gifts, including a thousand taels of gold, ten horses, a hundred fans, two pairs of screens, ten swords and ten waists, ten knives, and an inkstone.

It was the first time that Zhu Yunwen saw the dress of the nobles of his country, and as soon as he saw the image of Dr.

Shimazu, Zhu Yunwen's eyebrows and eyes jumped together, and he finally resisted the urge to laugh, and sat on it with dignity and solemnity.

When it was the turn of the country behind the mountain, seeing that the prince of the country behind the mountain was similar to the Ming people regardless of his dress or appearance, he first gave birth to three points of kindness, and looked seven points pleasing to the eye.

Although He Tianyang memorized the national book very well, but because he was worried about making a mistake, the more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, so he stumbled and stumbled when he "read" it, and said that his country's envoy kept pouting on the side, and the corners of his mouth were about to reach his ears, but in the eyes of Zhu Yunwen and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, he took it for granted.

The words stumbled, doesn't this just show that the barbarian small state is in awe when he sees the majesty of the kingdom; The behavior is a bit rude and barbaric, it is not yet civilized, it is good to be able to do this.

In the end, He Tianyang did not forget Xia Xun's instructions, and also proposed tributary trade, which must be mentioned, otherwise why did you come if you didn't mention it, it would inevitably make people suspicious, and then proposed to live in Daming for a while and accept the influence of Daming customs.

I, the people of Middle-earth, have always been good teachers, how can there be no courtesy.

When the envoys of the two countries saw that they had finished driving, Emperor Jianwen gave gifts in the court.

In order not to make the envoys of the two countries quarrel again, Zhu Yunwen treated them equally, regardless of the thickness of the gifts they paid, the two countries gave the same thing, including a gauze hat, a golden rhino belt, a pair of red Luo clothes, four silk horses, four Luo horses, and ten silk cloths.

Because the king and princess of the mountain queen also came, they gave her four additional horses of silk, four horses, and ten horses of muslin.

Of course, these gifts are much lighter than the gifts paid by the two countries, but since they have promised to trade with the Ming Dynasty, they will not suffer.

Later, they can sell some goods from China at a good price.

He Tianyang was very happy, Lord Yang's instructions, he finally completed it successfully, and the next day was not just the "drudgery" of eating, drinking, and touring the mountains and rivers, he liked it very much.

But who knows, the problem is precisely in eating and drinking.

Zhu Yunwen of Longyan Dayue was still in high spirits, and on a whim, he temporarily decided to set up a state banquet to entertain the envoys of the two countries, at the banquet, the minister who sat on the left was the minister who accompanied the banquet, and the envoy who sat on the right was the tributary, and the head was naturally His Majesty the Emperor.

Now the envoys of the two countries are coming, and who sits in the front and who sits in the back is related to the national system, and foreigners also care about the national system.

Standing in front of the banquet, Mitsuo Shimazu and He Tianyang glanced at each other, their eyes intertwined, and a string of sparks exploded with a "crackle".
