Chapter 42: Double Happiness (2)

In the second month after the examination, it is the temple examination. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info palace examination is also called the court examination, which is personally examined by the emperor in the Taihe Palace, and is ranked second to the tributes who have passed the examination. The ranking of the palace examination is divided into three grades, the first one has a total of three, the first name is the champion, the second name is the list, the third name is Tanhua, and the first is given to the Jinshi, the second is a number of people, the Jinshi is born, and the third class is a number of people, and the same Jinshi is born.

Before dawn on this day, before the time passed, An Ran was already standing in front of the palace gate with the candidates and waiting, because his ranking in the examination was much higher than in the previous exams, so he stood at the front of the line. The weather in the north was still a little cold in April, so he stood calmly in front, tightened his shirt with his hands, and looked at the candidates around him. Whether it is the exam that has been taken for 16 years in the previous life, or the step by step from the township exam to the general exam in this life, there are countless large and small exams that have passed, and An Ran has long been able to deal with the exam indifferently.

An Ran saw that the candidate next to him lowered his head, clasped his hands tightly, and looked nervous. There are also candidates, like those who are ranked in front of Enron, who are full of confidence in their own knowledge, and look eager to try, eager to be appreciated by the emperor and ascend to the sky in one step. There are also many candidates who whisper hello and exchange names, and they are familiar with each other, after all, they belong to the same subject and are in the same year, and they are the most reliable people in the officialdom in the future.

When the hour came, the official of the Ministry of Etiquette said loudly: "Xuanwen Jing Bingchen Kegongsheng." ”

Under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Gongsheng entered the main hall in turn. There are neat rows of tables and chairs in the hall, on which pens, ink, paper and inkstones are placed. An Ran looked closely, the decoration in the hall is very luxurious, the upper part of the doors and windows is embedded into a rhombus pattern, the lower part is embossed with a cloud dragon pattern, and there is a gilded copper leaf engraved with a dragon pattern at the joint. The hall is paved with gold bricks, and the oil is moist and bright. White jade stone carving, carved dragon pillar, there are nine dragon gold lacquer throne directly above, the giant pillar of the golden cloud dragon pattern, more majestic and magnificent. Seeing this, the tribute students all felt awe in their hearts.

"The ministers knock on my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live. As soon as Emperor Wenjing appeared in the hall, everyone shouted long live. An Ran also bowed down with everyone, and curiously swept towards Emperor Wen Jing with his divine sense, only to see that Emperor Wen Jing was wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, looking in his thirties, with a medium stature, a majestic expression, and his eyes were full of spirit, and he had a domineering spirit that looked down on the world.

Emperor Wen Jing stood above and made a speech, and then the cabinet scholars announced the start of the palace examination.

An Ran unhurriedly found his table and sat down according to the ranking. After everyone was seated, the officials of the Ministry of Rites handed out the rice paper and test questions.

When I got the test questions, I saw that the first question was the policy question of the test, and the title was "Today's rule of the river is both for profit...... The husband uses the embankment to bind the water, and the water brushes the sand, which has its own law. Considering why the turbidity current or the invasion of the channel, the channel or into siltation. In order to borrow Huang Jiyun, he is reluctant to live for the present, regardless of future troubles. What should be the best way to trickle it down soon, but it can also be profitable? It should be used to guard against the benefits of the sluice and dam at the entrance and exit, and what should be the best way to put it in force?" Enron frowned, trying to think about how he should answer. This question is about water conservancy, how to deal with the siltation of rivers in the Huanghuai River, which has brought huge disasters to the country and the people, so how to deal with it in order to achieve waterproof and water control.

First of all, it is necessary to analyze the geographical location of the Huanghuai region, the distribution of river maps, and regional differences, and then put forward a strategy for controlling the Yellow River, such as transforming the Loess Plateau and sharply reducing the amount of yellow sand; and it is also necessary to put forward a plan for supervising the construction of water conservancy projects, and so on.

An Ran first typed a draft on rice paper, and then wrote it word by word on the test questions. After writing, An Ran looked at the neat writing, the handwriting was beautiful, the font was simple and atmospheric, the rhyme was round and plump, and it was in a class of its own. At this time, An Ran found that he was sweating and wetting the back of his clothes.

Soon the sound of gongs and drums came up, and when the hour came, An Ran carefully checked the side and stopped writing and handed in the papers.

On the 25th, the results were announced in the Taihe Temple. Early in the morning, by the Luan Yiwei in front of the Taihe Hall set up the halo book law drive, set up under the eaves and Shao music, in the Taihe Gate set up the Dan Majesty Dale; at this time the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple in the Taihe Hall in the east and above the Dan Majesty set up the yellow case, set up the cloud disk under the Dan Majesty, set up the color pavilion outside the noon gate to set up the Imperial Battle Drum Music. The princes, ministers, civil and military officials all wore court clothes and stood on the left and right, and An Ran followed the new science and technology scholars towards the court clothes, wearing three branches and nine leaves crown on their heads, and stood according to the odd and even ranking.

The time has come, and the official of the Ministry of Rites invited Emperor Wenjing to take the public opinion in his dress and enter the Taihe Palace. At this time, An Ran, who bowed his head quietly, heard the sound of music, and a special celebrant sounded the whip three times, only to hear the crisp and pleasant sound of the whip, which resounded through the nine heavens. As the whip fell, the music in the hall sounded again, and the minister who read the scroll first bowed three times and bowed nine times to Emperor Wenjing.

After the ceremony, the emperor was awarded to the Ministry of Rites by the scholars, and it was displayed on the yellow case in the middle of the hall. At this time, the music was played again, and the officials of Honglu Temple introduced the new Jinshi into place and read out the edict: "On April 25, the 14th year of Wenjing, the first class was given to the Jinshi and the first, the second was given to the Jinshi and the third was given to the same Jinshi. ”

"Wu Xiuyun, the first place in the palace examination, gave the Jinshi and the first, and awarded the Hanlin Academy to revise it. Wu Xiuyun walked out and knelt on the left side of the royal road.

"The second place in the first class of the palace examination Coco Li, given the Jinshi and the first, and awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing. Then another knelt down on the royal road.

.................。

"Shen Ziyue, the twenty-seventh person in the second class of the palace examination, was born as a jinshi. An Ran also bowed down in accordance with the etiquette he had learned, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, saying that An Ran had no utilitarian intentions, and he was not a strong person, but after all, he had worked hard for so many years, and it would be really disappointing if he took the same jinshi exam.
