Little wealth

The palace exam is about policy theory, and the topic of policy theory is to write a policy theory on how to eliminate corruption in the officialdom, and talk about their personal opinions and opinions.

When everyone got the test papers, there was a moment of silence in the hall, and everyone was grading the papers.Students like them have heard about this incident. All the officials involved in this corruption case were dismissed from office and beheaded. A large number of officials were cleaned up in the court. Clap your hands and applaud.

But they also know that when they step into the officialdom in the future, they will also become a member of the officialdom, and the fate of these officials is for them to learn from.However, no matter how the government prohibits it, officials have been banned and corrupted repeatedly throughout the dynasties.

At this time, Sun Nian also got the paper, glanced at the questions on it, and had a general idea in his mind.This topic is not easy to write or write, but it is not difficult to write well.All of them sitting here today will step into the officialdom in the future. Whether they will be officials in the future is not only related to the employment of the court, but also related to the lives of ordinary people.

It happened that some time ago, in the homework given to him by the grandfather, there were some topics about the recent affairs of the court. He wrote an article similar to the topic of this palace examination, so as soon as he got this paper, Sun Nian knew How should I write this article.

Of course, today he wants to get the first place in the top three, and his article today must be very brilliant, and the emperor cannot favor him just because he is the emperor's nephew.If the article he wrote cannot be accepted by everyone, then his position as the No. [-] scholar is not worthy of the name.Therefore, he must make himself a veritable champion!

Closing his eyes, he pondered for a moment in his mind, and after conceiving the outline of the whole article in his mind, Sun Nian began to write the first draft. He wrote the first draft relatively quickly, and everyone else was still at the beginning, so he had already written it.

The first draft was completed in one go, he put down his pen and was about to take a break, when out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a bright yellow hem beside him, and a person stood behind him.

Needless to say, he also knew who the person standing behind him was, but he didn't know how long this imperial uncle stood behind him and watched.

But at this moment, Sun Nian did not forget that he was still in the examination room, and it was important to write the essay quickly, so he pretended not to know, put down his pen to rest for a while, continued to take out the examination paper, and transcribed the essay on the paper. It is slower to transcribe.

When he was concentrating on copying the papers, the people behind him walked away. All his thoughts were on copying the papers, so he didn't have the time to pay attention to other things.

When he finished writing the paper, all the people were still immersed in writing the paper.

Generally speaking, the ranking of the bottom ten positions in the test is basically fixed, and only the top ten positions may change.Those who have reached the stage of the imperial examination will not have a big problem in writing a policy theory. The only difference is whose article is better written.

The palace examination papers are selected by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and finally the emperor decides the ranking of the top three.Therefore, the selection of the number one scholar, in addition to the article must be good, also depends on whether the content and style of writing are loved by the emperor, and there is also a little bit of luck in this.

As the last finishing touch, Sun Nian raised his hand to indicate that he was going to hand in the paper.

The servant in the hall came to take away his papers, and he was the first to walk out of the main hall and went to the side hall to wait.

Just as he was standing in front of a pillar, looking at the coiled dragon above, he saw footsteps approaching the side hall, and when he turned around, he found that he was an acquaintance. Sun Nian cupped his hands and called out: "Cousin."

"Cousin." Fu Qingxu looked at this cousin with complicated eyes. Before that, he never thought that he would lose to this cousin. When he saw himself in the test, he was ranked behind this cousin. For a moment, he couldn't believe it.

In the past, he still had a little disdain for this cousin. Although this cousin was named the heir of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, he still felt that this cousin was a child who grew up in the countryside. Standard, a vulgar man from the country.

In their generation, he was the only grandson who was loved and personally guided by the grandfather, which was a great honor for him.But then there were two more people, and he had a feeling that his territory had been invaded, so in front of the elders in the family, he was friendly and caring to his two cousins, and being an exemplary good brother, in fact, he was against the two cousins ​​in his heart. The first cousin was very disliked and repulsed, and even because the other younger cousin had received the approval of the grandfather, he felt a little jealous of the other cousin in his heart.

But he didn't want to lose to this cousin he had always looked down on in the general examination. Even in today's palace examination, he was not as fast as the other party in writing the theory. The other party had already finished writing, and he was still writing.

The two looked at each other, and Sun Nian didn't miss the emotion hidden in each other's eyes. He could still tell whether a person liked or hated him.

Besides, this cousin was only polite to the two brothers in front of people, but he didn't say a word to them behind the scenes, so he already knew that this person didn't like him.Perhaps it should be said that it is Fu's side. Except for the grandfather who treats the two brothers sincerely, other people treat them with superficial kindness. Probably only others know what is in other people's hearts.

So after the two people said hello, they were relatively speechless, and other people came later, because everyone was here waiting for the results, so everyone didn't speak, just stood here quietly and waited.

The results of the palace test came out on the same day.After everyone has handed in the papers, these papers will be sent to the examination paper officials immediately. After the examination papers are reviewed by the paper examination officials, the ranking of the top three will be judged, and then the papers will be sent to the emperor, who will select the top three. .

As long as the papers are not handed in blank or not finished, the papers are scribbled, etc., and the papers are carefully answered, people like them should be able to enter the top three.But if you hand in a blank paper, or if you haven't finished answering the paper, you will definitely fail the exam.

But let alone, every time there are so few people who have walked a long way ahead, but they just missed the Jinshi because of the problems in the palace examination.

"Your Majesty, all the papers are already here." The officials of the Ministry of Rites presented all the papers to their majesty, "The above three are the top three selected by the minister and many ministers. Your Majesty, please see conform to."

"Bring it to me to see." The emperor sat here and waited until he yawned, and he yawned a big one in front of the Minister of Rites, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.He raised his hand, and asked the servant who was waiting beside him to go and get the paper.

A stack of thick answer sheets was placed in front of his desk. The emperor raised his hand and picked up the first paper on the top. After reading it, his face was expressionless, and he went to get the second paper, starting from the top paper and going down. See, stopped after watching a dozen copies.There was nothing wrong with the previous papers, and he believed that his ministers would not dare to play any tricks in front of him.

But after reading more than a dozen papers, the emperor pulled out the second paper and wrote the word "No. He took out one and wrote "Tanhua" on it. As for the one that was originally ranked at the top, he pushed it out of the dozen or so.

"Let's arrange it like this." The emperor waved his hand, and this year's palace examination was already set in this way.

The officials who took the paper saw that the top paper just now had disappeared, and the No. [-] ranked No. [-] was promoted to No. [-], while No. [-] and No. [-] were counted backwards. Except for a few who were transferred Except, most of the rest are in accordance with what they just chose.

So even though he wanted to speak for the first name they selected just now, when he heard the last sentence of their emperor, the official didn't dare to say anything, so he could only say "Yes, I will arrange it now", He went out with the paper in his hand.

Many students in the side hall waited for a long time before the eunuch came to inform them to go outside. They stood in the square under the main hall and lined up in two rows.After they stood up, they heard someone shouting from above: "The results of the palace examination have come out. The No. 1 in this year's palace examination is the son and grandson of Anyang school."

When Sun Nian heard his name, he still couldn't believe it.

When he realized that he was No.1, then his heart was full of ecstasy, he really got the No.1 in the palace examination, he was the champion, hahahaha... At this moment, his heart was so excited that he wanted to circle three times in the same place .But knowing that the results of the palace examination have not yet been announced, he can only continue to stand below and listen, and slowly be happy when he returns.

"Yijia No.2, Yucheng Zhao Xin."

"No.3 in Yijia, Li Aocheng in Fancheng."

"..."

After the first class, they continued to announce the ranking of the second class.

Standing below, Fu Qingxu was a little stunned when he heard that the top three in the first class did not have his name. When he heard that he was ranked No.13 in the second class, he was full of fear. Believe it, why is he ranked No.13, is this a mistake?

Unlike Fu Qingxu, the people below were all ecstatic when they heard his name.

When the last name is pronounced, all the results of the palace examination will be announced.Except for a few who had problems in the palace examination, all the others are here.

All the students knelt down to thank the emperor, their clear and clear voices were in unison. These voices were full of longing for the future, they were full of ambitions, and they all hoped to do something practical for the people of Daliang in the future.
