Please, let me be a fool

Even if His Majesty sees the end and thinks there is a problem, that's okay.

Anyway, he is not so persistent about the champion.

the most important.

It is worthy of my heart!

At this time, a famous imperial guard took out the examination papers and distributed them to each candidate's desk.

After everyone received the examination papers, Wang Jin took another step and said loudly, "The palace examination begins."

After finishing speaking, the candidates below picked up their pens and started writing drafts.

But some of them did not write.

Because many candidates, before the palace exam, reviewed books on the way of governing the country, but the current exam questions are completely beyond their expectations, so they have to start thinking again.

Even Ouyang Ji, the most popular candidate for the champion this time, held a pen and did not make a move for a long time.

Only Chen Xuance, after a little thought, did not draft a draft.

Instead, start writing directly on the test paper.

above.

Seeing this scene, Wei Yunyi didn't speak.

The next two hours are all reserved for the exams.

In the meantime, as the emperor himself, if there is no major event, he cannot leave.

So at this moment, he seemed a little bored.

However, the ministers below started talking in private.

"Lord Song, who do you think will win the palace examination?" Among the civil servants, Minister of Rites Wang Lun glanced at the [-] candidates in the palace, and then said with a smile.

As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Lun naturally participated in the imperial examination, and he was in the same group as Li Fang, the former cabinet assistant.

It's just that he was No.3 at the time, and the latter was the No. [-] pick.

As for Song Gongwen, it was only included in the top three.

There is still a big gap between the two.

Therefore, after hearing Wang Lun's question, he thought for a while, and then said: "Ouyang Ji is brilliant, no less talented than Li Fang back then, and he is likely to be among the top three in this palace examination Not impossible."

"It's just that His Majesty's exam questions this time are completely different from previous dynasties. They are neither about politics nor classics..."

"So I'm not sure, but Mr. Wang, you should be optimistic about Ouyang Ji, right?"

Ouyang disease.

Ranked first in the examination and became the member of the club.

Therefore, officials of all sizes in Beijing and China recognized his talent.

It is precisely because of this that many people think that the other party may be the first champion of the Tianqi Dynasty.

Even Song Gongwen thought so at the beginning, but as he said before, the exam questions this time are completely different from the previous ones, which may disrupt Ouyang Ji's already planned thoughts.

Therefore, it is difficult to say who will be the champion in the end.

"good."

Wang Lun said, "I was the chief examiner during the exam, and I read his articles. The writing is excellent, and it's not inferior to Li Fang, but even better than Li Fang!"

As the number one scholar in the former dynasty, Li Fang was found guilty of conniving relatives and occupying fields.

But his talent was recognized by court ministers.

Otherwise, so many years have passed.

There were several champions.

But why is this the only person who took the position of the cabinet's second assistant?

At this time, Wang Lun pondered for a while, and continued: "However, there is another candidate named Chen Xuance, whose essay is not bad. You should also know this person. Recently, colleagues are talking about him, saying that he is a big student. talent."

"Yes, I have heard of this person." Song Gongwen smiled, and then said: "But it is said that this person is the most powerful, and he still has a good tongue, which has coaxed many officials in the court to treat him as a guest of honor. .”

"In terms of writing, it's still worse than Ouyang Ji, and it's said that he's not upright. I've heard people say that after entering Beijing, this person has been in and out of Fengyue Land many times, and he will probably win the first place. I hope it's not very big. "

In fact, among the cases this time, the most famous ones were Ouyang Ji and Chen Xuance.

It's just that the former is famous for his well-written articles and outstanding talents.

The latter's words are smooth and eloquent.

Even some old ministers in the court.

They all regard it as a confidant who forgets the year.

But for real scholars, Chen Xuance's method is not so attractive.

"That's right, talent is talent, but you don't use your energy on the right path." Wang Lun also nodded.

He felt that Chen Xuance, if he devoted himself to studying, would not be worse than Ouyang Ji.

It's just that the other party regards socializing and entertaining as a big deal.

After coming to the capital.

Basically don't stay in the truth, hang out with different people every day.

He even made friends with some servants in the Jingzhao Mansion. Although these are very important in the officialdom, the problem is that the other party is still raising a son, and should focus on studying.

Immediately, the two said nothing more.

After all, the Three Tripod Armor needs to be appointed by His Majesty.

It is useless even if they have ideas in their hearts, they are just expressing some opinions.

At this time, Wei Yunyi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, thought about the next process because he really had nothing to do.

The time for the palace examination is shorter than that of the general examination, because you only need to answer one question.

Generally, there are at least two to three hundred people who take part in the palace examination. These examination papers cannot be read by the emperor alone.

Therefore, once the students complete the exam, there will be the chief minister, the cabinet members and the academicians of the Hanlin Academy to review it, and keep the ten copies that they think are the best, and hand them over to His Majesty.

These ten are the top ten in the palace examination, and the Three Tripod Armors were produced among them.

As for the ranking, it is also determined by the emperor.

therefore.

Sanding Jia also has another title, disciple of the emperor.

No.1 is No. 2, No.3 is No. [-], and No.[-] is No. [-].

These three people are Sanding Jia, also known as Head Jia, who can directly enter the Hanlin Academy.

Of course, if the emperor is very optimistic about it.

Officials can also be directly awarded.

However, this official position is not too high, and the number one scholar is delegated, usually to a magistrate.

Of course, the magistrate's position is only temporary, and it can also be used as a test, and he will be transferred back to Beijing for reuse soon.

The other two will be arranged according to the situation.

The remaining No. 4 to No. 10 are called Erjia. Erjia can take the examination of the Imperial Academy. After passing, they can also enter the Imperial Academy, but their status is relatively low.

At the beginning, Wang Shouyuan, who was a second-class Jinshi, entered the Imperial Academy.

If you fail, you can also choose to enter Yushitai and become a speech officer.

This is why the Hanlin Academy and Yushitai are collectively referred to as Qinggui.

After all, there are only ten of them every few years.

After ten, it is the top three.

The top three are not so lucky. If they have connections, they can stay in the capital. Those without connections will either be sent down directly, or they will wait for the opportunity to be discovered by nobles.

And just as Wei Yunyi was thinking, time passed by like this bit by bit.

The last two hours passed, and the palace test was finally over.

The imperial guards stepped forward and began to collect the examination papers one by one.

Zhang Zhengming, who had already prepared, took Song Gongwen and others, nodded one after another, and took the examiner's seat.

They knew that soon, the top three of the Apocalypse Dynasty would be born soon!

Wait until all the test papers are collected.

Several eunuchs came out under Wang Jin's signal.

Then they took those candidates out of Chengtian Hall and went to another wing to wait.

The palace examination was held on the same day, and the results would be issued on the same day, so candidates did not need to leave the palace.

Just have to wait for the final result.

And the exam is over.

Ouyang Ji was surrounded by a group of disciples who asked him what he had written.

Talking about Qiangu Hunjun, this question really exceeded the expectations of many examinees.

It should be noted that what they have prepared before is all about the way of governing the country, and they have been familiar with books and articles on this topic.

What's more, I memorized the "Governing the Country" written by Taifu Zhang Zhengming word for word, in order to be able to refer to it from this aspect, and then write a good article.

After all, many people know that the Grand Tutor is the main one who participates in the review of the palace examination papers.

But the current exam question caught everyone by surprise, so they could only re-slap the draft.

Then bite the bullet and start answering questions.

And after the end.

They all surrounded Ouyang Ji.

Because this person is a popular candidate for the number one scholar in the imperial examination.

I want to hear his thoughts on this exam question and what he wrote, and then compare myself, where is the gap.

Naturally, Ouyang Ji also greeted him with a smile, and started talking with all the candidates.In fact, what he wrote was not a shocking article, after all, the exam questions this time had already limited his performance.

When talking about eternal foolish emperors, of course he would follow the topic, and first listed some foolish emperors.

Then write down some of the actions of these faint kings when they were in power, and evaluate them.

Finally, write down your own opinions and the like.

In fact.

Ouyang Ji felt that although he was not good at it, he was still very good at evaluating those stupid kings, so he said a few words and wrote a few paragraphs.

After hearing this, the candidates next to him couldn't help but nod their heads.

He thought that the talent of the top candidate was still far better than his own.

I feel in my heart that Ouyang Ji is almost definitely going to be among the top three.

After all, the other party still has the identity of Huiyuan.

In any case, it will not fall out of the second class.

It's just that they can't say whether they can win the first place.

After all, this needs to be appointed by His Majesty today.
