The world of rebirth

It wasn't until Li Deming ran for the third time that he saw Ning Yunjin start to write. He saw that the time had already passed three quarters.In order to find out more information to repay the emperor, he intentionally or unintentionally walked by Ning Yunjin's table, and after a glance, he found that Mr. Ning actually wrote the pen directly, without drafting at all!

This is too... Mr. Li is too inexperienced to find any adjectives, so he looked worriedly at Ning Yunjin, who was writing an answer, and walked away disconsolately.

Although he thought that his actions were concealed, he couldn't hide from the three chief examiners with piercing eyes.However, they themselves are also very concerned about Ning Yunjin's situation. After all, if the results of the palace examination are good, maybe there will be a champion in this year's three rounds, and they will be honored as teachers.

However, Ning Yunjin was either in a daze or looking around all day long, which really disappointed the three of them. When they saw him writing pens on the paper, they all shook their heads, thinking that Ning Yunjin was still too young to handle such a topic. Already gave up!

Of course, Ning Yunjin wasn't really in a daze, he just perfected his idea over and over again in his mind. For someone with a photographic memory, this kind of efficiency is much higher than writing directly.However, the reason why the drafts of the provincial and provincial examinations were drafted was only for the so-called regulation that "examinations must have their own drafts to prevent cheating by others".

He doesn't think this topic is difficult. In fact, there are many disadvantages that will explode and be discussed in the future. Even a general like him knows a lot.Ning Yunjin just wanted to use the experience of later generations to come up with a more appropriate and less offending solution.

Although it is called the Palace Examination, it is impossible for the emperor Wenzhen to accompany the candidates for the exam for a day. In fact, he only needs to come to the Palace of Preserving Harmony to speak a few words before the end.In order to see Ning Yunjin's situation, he specially moved a little earlier this time.

When he came, Ning Yunjin had already put down his pen, just waiting for the ink to dry, as if he wanted to hand in the paper early.Seeing Ning Yunjin's confident expression, Wenzhen stopped worrying about him, and turned to look at the situation of other candidates.

When the time came, the examiner mercilessly began to collect the papers, and there was one unlucky ghost who hadn't finished copying the papers, and burst into tears immediately after the papers were collected.

After the emperor finished his routine speech, all the candidates left the Hall of Preserving Harmony one after another and prepared to go home.

Before leaving the Palace of Preserving Harmony, Xu Youyou and Sun Benshan came to Ning Yunjin's side.

Wen Zhen didn't go far, seeing the two of them tacitly standing on either side of Ning Yunjin, one on the left and one on the right, his protector's attitude made him frown.

Xu didn't have to smile warmly, "Looking at you, Yun Jin, I know that if there is a divine help in writing this time, I will be waiting to read your masterpiece!"

"Brother Zhishan is not bad!" Ning Yunjin cupped his hands and smiled, "I saw that you finished the article long in advance!"

Seeing the two people complimenting each other, Sun Benshan sighed and said, "The two of you must be at least in the top tier for your literary talent, but I'm going to be in trouble this time, and I'm afraid the top three won't even come close!"

"How could this be so!" Ning Yunjin asked in surprise, "Brother Ji Qing is a genius today!"

Xu Youyou said without sympathy, "If you want me to say that Ji Qing deserves it! You see, he didn't prepare carefully before the palace exam. These days, he spends all his time painting, day and night, and he even listens to his chickens crowing." No, let alone current events, do you think he can do well in the exam!"

Ning Yunjin asked curiously, "What painting fascinates Brother Ji Qing so much?"

"It's the two pictures from last time!" Sun Benshan didn't take it seriously at all when he failed the palace examination, but when he mentioned his masterpiece, his face flushed and he said excitedly, "I finally finished it yesterday, and I sent it to you overnight. I sent it to Master Wang Chuan to mount it."

Ning Yunjin couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart, this person is too devoted to painting, no wonder he didn't even work as an official just to paint!However, he has always admired such a person who is so obsessed with what he likes, and he also looks forward to seeing the works drawn in his own style, so he said, "Then I will wait for Brother Ji Qing's masterpiece!"

Sun Benshan said confidently, "No problem, I will definitely not disappoint you Yunjin."

The three walked out of the palace, made an appointment to reunite after the results of the palace examination, and then parted ways and went back to their homes.

Although the results of the palace examination were hand-picked by the emperor, in fact, his selection range was only ten.

During the regular procedure, the palace examination is judged by eight examiners. Each of them reads in turn at a table. When marking the papers, five marks are added according to the quality of the articles. Among them, the person who gets the most "○" is the best.Finally, among all the papers, the papers with the most ten circles were selected and presented to the emperor, and the top three were selected by hand.

Such a set of procedures that has lasted for nearly a thousand years is strict and serious, and it is not easy for a certain emperor to break it, especially those examiners who have read poetry and books will consciously maintain it. Can only wait.

Fortunately, there were only more than 300 people participating in the palace examination, and soon the ten best papers were selected. Wen Zhen saw that the first book was on the paper, with a row of circles drawn on it, and couldn't help but stare at him. one light.He picked up the book, pointed to the eight circles and asked, "Do you think this book is the best?"

Huang Zhizhong, one of the chief examiners, touched his beard and nodded repeatedly, only to hear him praise, "This candidate has extraordinary knowledge, and the writing is vigorous and concise. It is really a masterpiece! Therefore, we all agree that this is the palace examination. best roll."

Wen Zhen couldn't help laughing. Although the name on the test paper was still blurred at this time, how could he recognize the familiar handwriting?He couldn't wait to open the paper, and said, "Let's take a look first, if it's really as good as what the ministers said, I'm afraid this dynasty will really have a champion who won three consecutive prizes!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone's surprise and began to read Ning Yunjin's article.

Ning Yunjin wrote nearly [-] words in total in this policy question and answer, a thick paper, but he didn't correct a single typo, and every word was neat and tidy, which shows his solid foundation.Leaving aside the most important part of the examination paper, the content is too rich. After Wen Zhen read nearly two hundred words, he stopped reading ten lines at a glance.

Wen Zhen savored the text almost word by word, and when he finally read all the content, he went back and read the part that he had briefly glanced at before.After putting down the paper, Wen Zhen felt a sense of fear as if his thoughts were being seen through!

However, this feeling of fear came and went quickly, and was replaced by an inexplicable excitement, the feeling of synchronizing thoughts with others, which made Wenzhen, who had never had such an experience, feel amazing.

At least half of Ning Yunjin's article is about the evils of the empire that Wen Zhen is thinking about, some of which he has already found a solution to, and some of which he has just realized.

Wenzhen knew that although he had occasionally discussed court affairs with Ning Yunjin in the past two years, he never talked too deeply, at least he didn't reveal his intentions, so Ning Yunjin must have the same worries as him to do this.

At the beginning of this article, I will directly point to the topic. If the emperor wants to govern the country to prosper, he must be practical and honest. At the top, he must set the outline and establish disciplines, determine laws and laws, and have laws to follow. All the people in the whole country respond to each other, so that the country can be governed fundamentally.

Next, the article elaborates on the disadvantages of the empire from ten aspects, land annexation is becoming more and more serious, party formation and bribery in the officialdom are commonplace, flag soldiers are poorly drilled and green battalion equipment is outdated, unjust, false and wrong cases have accumulated, the treasury is empty, the government and social atmosphere are becoming increasingly corrupt, Surrounded by foreign enemies, the livelihood of the banner people, etc., the situation in Daxia is extremely dangerous.

The alarmist posture made Wen Zhen feel cold sweat all over his body. He had already noticed some problems in it, but because of his different vision, he naturally couldn't think of some of the content Ning Yunjin mentioned, such as Wen Zhen knew that the big Shangzheng was thinking about this rich land, but he didn't expect that the foreigners who came across the ocean also had bad intentions, which was something he had never considered.

If Ning Yunjin hadn't written some solutions that he thought were feasible after the ills related to the fate of the country, Wen Zhen couldn't help but want to snatch people over and give them a good reprimand. The Great Xia under his own rule is so good that the country will no longer be a country! ?

It’s just that the methods roughly mentioned in the article cannot form a government order. I don’t know how long it will take to solve these problems, but in terms of the article alone, this is indeed an impeccable article. No wonder the eight readers agreed. Ning Yunjin's work is definitely regarded as a masterpiece.

Seeing Wenzhen's love for the paper, Huang Zhizhong knew that the emperor was also moved by this article.He couldn't help but ask, "Does the Emperor think this candidate can become the number one?"

"If this article can't produce the top three winners in a row, then my eyesight is stupid!" Wen Zhen smiled, and took a vermilion pen to personally write the four characters "one first and one first" on Ning Yunjin's paper.After finishing writing, he returned the paper to Huang Zhizhong, and sighed, "I didn't expect the first champion in this dynasty to be so young. I feel old when I see him."

Thinking of Ning Yunjin's age, everyone couldn't help nodding their heads and said straightly, "This is really scary for young people!"

After the ranking of No. [-] scholar came out, it was very easy to decide on the second place and third place. Wen Zhen just glanced at each paper and then decided on the ranking according to the evaluations of the examiners.

The results of the palace examination are not posted on the list first, but on the day the results are released, the new subjects Jinshi and all the officials are allowed to participate in the morning court.

When Ning Yunjin followed his father and grandfather to the palace gate, the palace gate was already full of civil and military officials and this year's 380 new subjects.Because today is the Great Asahi, and the Grand Ceremony of Passing on Lu is going to be held, and the royal clan members who are qualified to stand on duty are also here, he can't stand on the side of the officials anymore, so he is ready to stand with the new scholars.

Ning Taoxu nodded in agreement.He came to participate in the early court today after changing shifts with someone specially. Generally, the ancestral temple only needs to send one person to participate in the early court. We all know that the Ning family may have a champion today, so the person who wants to go to the court is also happy Also he exchanged.

Ning Jingxian patted him on the shoulder, "Young Er, don't feel pressured, even if you're not the champion, you're pretty good!"

Father, you seem to be more excited and stressed than me... Ning Yunjin couldn't help muttering, and naturally agreed obediently.As soon as he walked back to the Xinke Jinshi room, he saw the palace gate slowly open!

Just hearing a bell ringing on the top of the city gate, a eunuch shouted, "The auspicious time has come, all the officials will lead the tribute students to see you!"
