Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

The matter of the imperial examination was settled, and Hu Weiyong also restrained his thoughts and began to prepare for it.

After all, as the only talent promotion ceremony in the country, if something went wrong, it would be a big problem.

For Hu Weiyong, he could just mess around, be lazy, or just lie at home and be a salted fish, just to save his life and live a good life.

However, when it comes to scientific examinations, he really doesn't want to mess around.

If something goes wrong with the talent promotion ceremony, which involves tens of thousands of scholars and spreads across all the territories of the Ming Dynasty, the impact will be huge.

This is simply an unforgivable sin for Hu Weiyong, who only wants to survive in the world and live happily.

Therefore, after receiving the imperial edict from Emperor Zhu, he sighed long and short all night. The next day, he had a slumped face and got up early in the morning.

"Master, are you wearing official uniform today?"

Concubine Ji who was waiting on the side, her waist and legs were weak after being tortured by the "angry" Hu Weiyong last night, but when she thought that her master had once again assumed the important responsibility and regained power, she suddenly crawled like a chicken. Get up and serve Hu Weiyong.

She didn't even let the maids do anything, she just ran back and forth and got busy.

Hu Weiyong smacked his lips and said angrily: "What kind of official uniform are you wearing? Sir, I am only a fifth-grade Hanlin bachelor now. It would be embarrassing for me to wear this official uniform."

"Believe it or not, if I don't wear official uniform, all the ministers of the Ministry of Rites will have to throw their hands at me, but if I wear it, they will all have to avoid me!"

Mei Ji, who was waiting on the side, was not a novice who didn't understand anything. She understood after Hu Weiyong mentioned this.

My master's official position does not match his identity and status at all, so not wearing official uniform is actually a kind of open-mindedness of staying aloof.

In this way, everyone feels comfortable.

Thinking of this, an idea flashed and he said: "Master, it is inconvenient to wear casual clothes, and some scoundrels may even accuse you of neglecting the king's affairs. Why not wear a bullfighting suit?"

Hu Weiyong smiled and pinched Mei Ji's pretty face: "She is really thoughtful, sir, I think so too!"

"Sir, I will wear a bullfight uniform. As long as they see this outfit, they will understand my attitude!"

Meiji smiled tenderly and hurriedly helped Hu Weiyong put on the bullfighting uniform given by the emperor, and then hung up the jade belt and goldfish bag given by the emperor. The image of a senior boss with a dignified appearance and a strong attitude emerged.

Meiji didn't say much to ask Hu Weiyong what his attitude was.

She had been taught how to serve men by words and deeds since she was a child, but now she is just a vine clinging to the big tree of Hu Weiyong. She is too smart to be liked.

As for whether Hu Weiyong knew it, of course he knew it, but he was just rarely confused.

After all, it was all my concubine's little care, trying different ways to coax herself, so why not just go along with it.

Sitting on the carriage, I wandered to the Ministry of Etiquette. As soon as I got off the carriage, I was greeted by a wave of greetings.

When several petty officials standing inside the door saw Hu Weiyong dressed in a bullfight uniform, they turned around and ran towards the inner room.

Therefore, before Hu Weiyong could enter the gate of the Ministry of Rites, two ministers, Guo Mingyi and Qi Huaili, came out to greet him with a group of officials.

It is Mr. Hu and Mr. Hu who speak loudly and silently.

There was no intention at all to put on airs because Hu Weiyong was "merely" a Hanlin bachelor of the fifth rank.

Seeing this lively scene in front of them, some officials who didn't understand it stared at their elders and asked: "Why are the two ministers so enthusiastic about Mr. Hu?"

But all the elders who had been in the yamen for a long time were explaining with a smile: "You don't understand this. This is actually the attitude expressed by Mr. Hu in advance!"

"Did you see that Mr. Hu can wear official uniforms or casual clothes, but he came out wearing a bullfighting uniform? Why?"

The newly promoted official was confused and replied naively: "Don't the bullfighting uniforms look more majestic?"

After giving his junior an annoyed look, the old official said earnestly: "The official uniform means that Mr. Hu intends to do something serious in his career, while the casual clothes means that he intends to let go. All the credit and faults belong to others. ."

"But the bullfighting uniform is different. It means that he will participate, but he will only participate in the scientific examination. He will not care about other matters in the Ministry of Etiquette."

"Can the two ministers be unhappy about this?"

"After all, who would be happy to suddenly have a father on their head?"

The newly promoted officials suddenly understood after hearing this, and at the same time they sighed, "Grandma, I'm a fool. Why is the officialdom so complicated? Are all these people so evil-minded?"

There are so many things to say about just an official uniform. This...this, this, this, is different from what he thought.

What about the one who promised that as long as he was loyal to the king, he would get a promotion and a salary increase?

Tsk tsk, leaving aside the young man who was hit hard, Hu Weiyong felt comfortable at this time.

After a piece of clothing had already expressed his attitude without saying a word, he asked for a comfortable office room facing the sun to bask in the sun. He very arrogantly asked the servants who came with him to move chairs, make tea, and bask in the sun.

But because of his behavior, the whole Ministry of Rites almost screamed loudly.

After all, Hu Weiyong was once a prime minister, and he has always been highly regarded by his superiors.

If Hu Weiyong really wants to make some noise, everyone in the Ministry of Rites will have to sit down!

Now, if you act like a transparent person and try to fish, everyone will be better off!

For a time, Hu Weiyong's workplace atmosphere in the Ministry of Etiquette was not very good.

And just when the scenery was just right for the Ministry of Rites, the new Enke of the Ming Dynasty also started in full swing throughout the Ming Dynasty.

We shouldn't be in such a hurry, but the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is really short of people right now.

At this time, it was the county examination, the first level of the imperial examination, that was making a fuss everywhere.

The so-called county examination, together with the government examination and the hospital examination, are collectively referred to as the three examinations, and are also called the boy's examination.

As long as you pass these three levels, you will be a child.

Only after passing Tongsheng can one truly participate in the imperial examination.

Otherwise, the subsequent provincial examinations to test scholars, the joint examinations to test candidates, and the imperial examinations to test Jinshi would not matter at all.

A complete imperial examination, starting from the county examination, can be said to have affected the entire Ming Dynasty.

Countless people from poor families have studied hard for many years just to stand out in such a round of examinations and leap over the dragon's gate.

There are countless families and families who just hope that a member of the family can be elected.

After all, only by passing the Juren Examination can one truly enjoy the Ming Dynasty’s tax-free policy for scholars.

With this policy alone, a family can become a big business in the local area that is different from ordinary people.

Not to mention that he will be awarded an official position in the future.

This shows how important the imperial examination is.

But unfortunately, this matter fell on Hu Weiyong, the salty fish spirit.
