The days fly by, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for the Enke examination that the students are looking forward to, and some people are happy and some are worried about the results of the examination after a few trials, and the results of the examination will come out three days later, and there are even exaggeraters who look at the emperor list and laugh or cry.

Those who are on the list will be given a tribute document with the seal of the Secretary of Science and Administration, and all those who hold the tribute certificate will take the palace examination by His Majesty himself three days later.

In the Qianlong Palace, Mo Yan dressed Duan Yun neatly, stroked the folds on his shoulders, and advised: "Don't be nervous, just like you usually go to the morning court, just when you changed a batch of obedient courtiers this morning, if you don't speak, none of them dare to speak out." ”

"Erchen knows, is it right to test their border defense, governing the people, and official policies?" Duan Yun determined the exam questions again.

Mo Yan smiled and held his cheeks with both hands and said, "Yes, okay, you go!" After speaking, let him go, she followed to the door and watched Duan Yun go farther and farther with the support of everyone, and sighed in her heart, the journey of thousands of miles has finally taken a substantial step.

"Let's go in!" Mo Yan turned her head back to the house and sat down, Moon Shadow followed her, and when she saw her sit down, she asked, "Niangniang didn't eat any food in the morning, do you want to eat now?" ”

"No, I can't eat it at all now, and I don't know if there are any talents who stand out among the candidates in the front hall. If there weren't a few decent people in this group of people to stop the courtiers, they would still be criticized for it later. Mo Yan said, this is an Enke, but also a pilot, if successful, the implementation of the imperial examination system will be much less resistant, if it is done badly, the imperial examination system will be much more difficult.

"Niangniang, you are concerned about it, you have not also read these articles written by Gongsheng before, don't you exaggerate the talent of several of them? Moon Shadow was optimistic.

"It's He Qingzhou, I think his last article is really good, but who knows if he will be Jiang Lang's talent, or if he really has a good heart. Mo Yan said worriedly, she was also a blind concern.

Moon Shadow also knew that she couldn't be at ease no matter how much she persuaded her, so she said, "Why don't I ask someone to go to Chongwen Hall to inquire about the news ahead?"

"It's okay, you go and arrange someone. Mo Yan urged her, and suddenly stopped her, "Alas, remember to call someone smarter." ”

"No~ you can rest assured!" Moon Shadow turned around and said in response, grinning and going out to order.

After a while, he came back with a smile and said, "I have already arranged for someone to go to Chongwen Hall to investigate, and there will be news in a while, so you can wait with peace of mind." ”

Mo Yan nodded his head imperceptibly, put down the teacup in his hand, and sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, a little eunuch ran in in small steps to say goodbye.

Mo Yan hurriedly asked: "Don't care about these false courtesies, just say what happened in front?"

"No! Your Majesty first asked a few simple questions to test the knowledge of the students, and the students were able to answer them fluently, and then His Majesty came up with the exam questions this time, and asked the students to write on the paper in a pillar of incense, and now the students are writing the questions, and the Fu Si of the Department of Academic Affairs Jiang nodded frequently when he inspected the hall, thinking that the result should be good. The visitor will tell him what he will see in the front hall.

Mo Yan said "Okay" in a loud voice, and then said relaxedly: "In this way, the mourning family will be relieved, you continue to go to the front hall to watch, and as soon as there is new news, you will come to tell the mourning family." ”

"No! The minion will do it, and the minion will retire. As he spoke, he bowed out of the house before turning around and trotting away.

The time of a pillar of incense passed, and Moon Shadow saw that her tea was shallow, and picked up the teapot to refill some tea for her, Mo Yan stretched out his hand to stop it: "Don't pour it, I haven't stopped drinking until now, now I am a stomach full of water, I'm afraid I will have to shake when I walk." ”

Hearing this, Moon Shadow put down the teapot in her hand, stood behind her, and looked out of the door frequently, and then saw the little eunuch hurriedly walking into the house, and hurriedly saluted: "Slave Zhang Fu pays a visit to the Queen Mother, Niangniang Wan'an." ”

"Don't talk about that, just talk about the result?" Mo Yan urged.

The little eunuch Zhang Fu replied happily: "Niang Niang is very happy! The results of the palace examination are out, and the first prize is He Qingzhou, a student from Qiao County, who won the first prize. ”

Mo Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and he could make Jiang Rin say such a thing as letting the people of the world encourage him, this article by He Qingzhou must be extraordinary, it seems that this He Qingzhou is indeed a talent.

"Good job, go to the Department of Internal Affairs to receive the reward!" Mo Yan smiled and waved Zhang Fu away.

"Niangniang will completely put her heart back in her stomach this time! It's all posted for others to see, this article must be very exquisitely written, otherwise Lord Jiang wouldn't have the courage to ask His Majesty to post it. Moon Shadow laughed.

Post it for others to see, this is not only to learn with others, but also to be the inspector of the world, there is no injustice in the imperial examination, not to judge the hero by birth, as long as you have real talent, the court will appoint you.

Of course, Mo Yan also thought of this, Jiang Rin was the most sneering and white eyes during the period of serving as the secretary of the school administration, and he also held his breath in his heart, wanting to make some achievements, now with this opportunity, he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to slap them in the face, that is, out of the evil anger in his heart, and also found useful talents for the imperial court.

"Spread the will of the mourning family, and post the articles of the top three in the palace examination for people to watch, so that everyone in the world can see the benefits of the imperial examination, and also let those old nobles know that the imperial examination is the trend of the times. "It's not just Jiang Rin holding her breath, she is also holding her breath!

These days, for the imperial examination, she is heartbroken, originally this is the first time to do it, there is no experience to learn from, there are many things like a mess piled together, the court is still arguing about this matter every day, fortunately Zhao Xiujin was knocked down, these people can't become the climate, otherwise it will be difficult to do.

"No! I'm going to make a decision. Moon Shadow bowed happily.

When the eunuch entered the Chongwen Hall with Mo Yan's will to announce the decree, the students had not left, everyone knelt down together to listen to the decree, and after the decree was announced, the eunuch handed the decree to Jiang Rin's hands, and then turned around and walked out of the hall, and said to the students kneeling below: "Empress Dowager Xuan's mother's message, those who are on the Enke roster this time will have a banquet in the Taiji Hall in three days." ”

"Thank you Empress Dowager Longen. Everyone said in unison, in fact, at this time, the examination papers of these people and several invigilators were only roughly over, and they did not look at it carefully, only because He Qingzhou's talent was really outstanding, it would be singled out separately, and several people repeatedly passed it on, applauding and praising it repeatedly, and the main point was the first name, which was also decided within them, and it had not yet been announced.

These students didn't know if they could be on the roster, but when they heard that they could participate in the imperial banquet, they were already overjoyed.
