The results of the general examination have been released, and the top students in the April apricot list are being watched by all parties in the capital.Bai Junyuan failed the country test, but he was not very happy to get back the title of Huiyuan after the test. He stayed behind closed doors in the mansion all day, but he didn't concentrate on preparing for the palace test. It seemed that he was still uneasy.

Tang Shi'an ranked third, and the second place was in the Jiangnan area. The outside of the Tang Mansion was more lively than before. From time to time, people would come to inquire about it, and at the same time, people would watch it.

However, the imperial examination will be held on the [-]th. Tang Shi'an ordered the people in the mansion not to go out indiscriminately. The daily food and firewood are delivered to the door. The handover is also done by Aunt Luo. It is impossible for other people to inquire about the news. start.

However, Bai Ranxi was not idle, it was more convenient for him to inquire about the news because he had someone left behind by his elder brother.After the palace examination, there will be a Qionglin Banquet, and people from the Ministry of Rites will undertake the imperial examinations. Mu Nanjiu, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, will of course also attend the banquet.

It is the easiest time to attack Zhao Ziyue at this time, "Master, the maid beside Zhao Ziyue has already collected the money, and my subordinates have been observing the shogunate for a few days, but they did not find that this maid has any intention of leaking."

"Well, you can tell her what to do on the day of the Qionglin Banquet." The sooner you tell, the easier it will be revealed, Bai Ranxi asked Mu Zhu to retreat, his whole expression was a little dazed.

In fact, it is okay to let Mu Zhu handle this matter, but after Tang Shian will go to the Ministry of Rites, it is natural that there is no one around him who can protect him. Mu Zhu will go to protect Tang Shian on the night of the Qionglin Banquet, and he will not reveal it. Everything is suspicious, and it will also hinder their plans in the future.

The maid who took money was the one who waited by his side and the one who gave him medicine on New Year's Eve, and now she is by Zhao Ziyue's side, so that those who can be bought with money will have a second time, the most stupid thing about Zhao Ziyue He just didn't dispose of her but stayed.

The palace examination was held in the Hall of Preserving Harmony, and Tang Shi'an sat in his seat. This palace examination was only about strategy questions, and the papers were handed in at dusk.Tang Shi'an naturally had confidence in the policy question, so when he saw the topic clearly, he had a plan in mind, and he wrote the draft on the straw paper.

Generally, about [-] words of policy questions and answers in the palace examination is the best. As long as you are really talented, you should finish it in one morning.The rest of the afternoon is spent concentrating on repairing rhetoric, and finally transcribing it on the answer sheet.

The palace examination was supervised by the emperor, but it all depended on his mood. After all, the emperor had to sit on the throne all day just to watch these fledgling boys answer the questions, and I'm afraid he would not be very patient.Fortunately, the current emperor is quite responsible for this. He sat on it all day without getting impatient.

Because he was in the forefront of the exam, the seat was very close to the emperor, and from time to time he could feel the eyes of the seat on him.

After Rimu handed in the scroll, it will be kept by officials such as Shoujuan, Zhangjuan, and Mifeng.When the marking day comes, the examiner will review the papers, and finally give the top ten copies to the emperor, and the emperor will select the top students among the ten students.

When the examiner sent these test papers to the emperor, the emperor was discussing matters with some ministers.

"The students this year are indeed better than last year." After reading it, the emperor said such a sentence, which was nothing more than a sigh, but the number one scholar is also there. By saying this, it really meant to belittle Mu Nanjiu , but it was the emperor who said this, and no one dared to say no to these two words.

"Songzhi, I heard that your cousin is also in this list, which one is it?" the emperor asked Bai Ranxing, of course it doesn't mean that the emperor really doesn't know who it is.

"Cousin Bai Junyuan." Bai Ranxing knew that this was the emperor's attitude in front of these courtiers, and the cases of the masters of these ten test questions were probably placed in front of the emperor.

"If I remember correctly, the Huiyuan this time is your cousin." The emperor said so, took out Bai Junyuan's test questions, and looked at it, "You are indeed young and promising."

But then he put Bai Junyuan's test questions aside, took a look at the other points, and after a while, he focused on this student whom he had no impression of.

"Tang Shi'an is also from the He'an Mansion, so I know your cousin." The emperor raised his head, Tang Shi'an was from a poor family, and his policy questions were indeed well written. As long as he didn't stand in line, it would be most appropriate to give him the number one spot.

"I should know him. My cousin failed the provincial examination before, and Xie Yuan from Lincheng is this person." Bai Ranxing said that Tang Shi'an's tone was not good, and he seemed a little dissatisfied with this person.

"Oh? There are other things like this. It seems that this Tang Shi'an is really capable. Why don't he do this year's champion." Although the emperor said this casually, as long as there is not enough to make him change his mind Because of this, this matter is settled.

"No." Bai Ranxing was waiting for this sentence, "When my cousin was in He'an Mansion, I heard about this person's bad deeds. If he becomes the number one scholar, wouldn't it be virtuous to be known by others? lose."

"Bad behavior? What kind of bad behavior?" The emperor became curious.

"This person is stubborn. His family was ruined and his family died because of gambling before, so it can be seen that he has a bad record."

When the emperor heard about it, his smiling face immediately turned serious. Such a person can still take part in the scientific examination. Could it be that all the reviewers died during the child's examination?

"Bai Shilang, you can't frame someone like this just to make your cousin the number one scholar." The Minister of Rites stood up and spoke at this time. It's not surprising that people around Bai Ranxing retorted in front of the emperor.

"Why, Li Qing also knows about this person?" The emperor watched the fight among the courtiers, but did not intervene.

"Naturally, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the imperial examinations. After the examinations, the affairs of the students will be more or less clear. As for the person Bai Shilang mentioned, we have also heard the news.

Gambling was framed by his classmate and people from the gambling shop, which led to the current end. Moreover, when he was in He'an Mansion, this classmate wanted to frame him again, and he didn't want the governor of He'an Mansion to find out the truth, so he finally investigated and dealt with it . "

After Li Shangshu said this, the emperor's face softened, "The prodigal son will not change his money when he returns, not to mention that this student was young at the time, and he can forgive some wrong things. Isn't it like the younger brother of Bai Shilang?" ?”

Bai Ranxing clenched his hands tightly, "Master Li talked about the scientific examination, but he wanted to involve my younger brother. Could it be that Master Li has something to say about my Bai family?"

"I dare not, but I just want to tell Bai Shilang that everyone makes mistakes, and this student's mistakes are still tempted by others. Now that he has taken the scientific examination again, we should naturally give him another chance." Li Shangshu is used to talking about these scenes.

"Okay, I asked you to come here to discuss state affairs and not to listen to your quarrels. What Li Qing said is also reasonable, but the number one scholar should not be trifling with. I think the literary talent of Shang Ming from Jiangnan is also good. He will be the number one scholar. Bai Qing My younger brother is just right to sit second in the list, and Tang Shi'an, let him be Tan Hua."

The emperor's words were a final word, and others could not say anything about it. Bai Ranxing was not talking, and seeing Li Shangshu approaching, he knew that he wanted someone.

"Your Majesty, now that all the ministries are short of people, why don't we directly arrange for the sixth ministries this time?"

The emperor thought for a while when he heard Li Shangshu's words, because he hadn't been on the throne for a few years, and he really didn't have many people under him, and he didn't plan to go up to those old guys.In the past, people who were born in Xinke came to the Hanlin Academy, firstly, they had to hone their training, and secondly, there were not so many vacant official positions.

Now the Six Departments say that there is a vacancy, but it is not considered a vacancy, but it is much better to take some small official positions first than to be in the Imperial Academy. "It is also reasonable for Li Qing to say so, let's do what Li Qing said."

As for how to arrange this position, it was a matter for the ministers of these departments to discuss. The minister of the Ministry of Rites naturally invited Tang Shi'an to the Ministry of Rites. Except for Tang Shi'an, none of the first-class people was suitable for entering the Ministry of Rites.

After the results of the palace examination were filled out, the emperor prepared to announce the results of the palace examination at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the students who participated in the palace examination stood below.There is no difference between the first-class list and the test list, but the ranking has changed. Tang Shi'an was not surprised when he heard that he was the candidate.

On the contrary, Wen Juan won the first place in the second class, which made Tang Shi'an happy for a while. After that, he will go on a horse parade and participate in the Qionglin Banquet in the evening.

The second class and the third class are different from the first class who can directly enter the court as an official. The first class is a Jinshi and the second class.If the second-class and third-class officials wanted to enter the court and become officials, they had to participate in the imperial examination after the Chuanlu Grand Ceremony, which was also held in the Hall of Preserving Harmony.

The court exam questions are also divided into three classes. The first class No.1 is called Chao Yuan. According to the rankings of the previous palace exam and the later court exam, officials of different grades are awarded respectively. The political achievements are on the rise.

Mu Zhu went to the shogunate when he was wandering the streets in Tang Shi'an, and gave the things to the maid who was bribed, "Well, if I am discovered, the master will not let me go."

"I will keep you safe after you finish, but if you don't do it now, you will die now." The knife in Mu Zhu's hand lightly touched the maidservant's neck, and with a light force, the trachea could be cut open.

"I'll do it, I'll do it." The servant girl was frightened. When she collected the money, she just asked her to spread some news. She didn't want to take more money from this person last time and ask her to do the medicine thing.

"If you are done, go out at night, there will be a carriage to take you out of the shogunate, even if you are in the shogunate, as long as they can't find you, it is not difficult to change your identity." Mu Zhu has always done things properly, he Nature knows how to be seduced.

This maid's life in the shogunate was not easy, even though she was someone close to Zhao Ziyue, but because she knew about Zhao Ziyue's affairs, she was most angry with Zhao Ziyue on weekdays.This servant girl was kept because she could help Zhao Ziyue to do some shameful things. Instead of killing a person, she would keep a life alive and use it forever.

"You can really give me a new identity." The servant girl is not a fool, she has done a lot of dirty things for Zhao Ziyue, and not all of them killed her.

"You can only trust me now. Of course, you can tell Zhao Ziyue now, but your life is really lost." Mu Zhu doesn't like nonsense, so saying this will make the girl trust me more, "If you trust me , just take advantage of your master’s absence tonight, finish this matter and leave, if you can’t handle it well, I don’t mind telling Zhao Ziyue about your disclosure of the shogunate’s news before.”

"Okay, I will definitely do it well." Blame her for being greedy, there are dead ends left and right, maybe she can survive if she helps this person, if she doesn't do it, she knows what Zhao Ziyue will do, even if she can survive, she will be worse off die.
