Chapter 83 The Palace Examination Begins (Asking for a Monthly Pass Collection)

The ninth list hung out, and the surroundings instantly quieted down, and the needle could be asked.

This is the list of the top 100 in this examination, if the name appears in these lists, it means that the palace examination is likely to be the second in high school, as for the first grade, under normal circumstances, it belongs to the top ten in the examination.

Shi Kefa had calmed down at this time, and he had full confidence in himself.

"Congratulations to Mr. Shi for the fifty-seventh place in the high school etiquette department. ”

"Congratulations to Mr. Shi for the fifty-seventh place in the high school etiquette department examination... ”

"Congratulations to Mr. Shi for the fifty-seventh place in the high school etiquette department. ”

"Master, you're in high school. Shi Xiaoliu's voice shouted.

......

On the second day after the end of the trial list, a large number of lifters left the capital, and many lifters stayed in the capital and entered the country to study.

As for the people who plan to report to the Ministry of Officials, there are few of them, even if these people give up the opportunity to participate in the examination, they are all nine grades or rank from the nine grades, and there is almost no chance of promotion in their lives.

As for the tributes who will take the high school examination, they all go to Honglu Temple the next day to carry out relevant registration and verification.

On the third day, they all went to the Ministry of Rites to participate in the re-examination, which was relatively simple, that is, to write an eight-strand essay on current affairs, which was equivalent to a strategy paper for the palace examination.

In fact, the most important thing in the re-examination is to look at the physical condition, if it is a person who is physically disabled, according to the rules of the imperial court, he cannot enter the imperial court as an official, and he is not eligible to participate in the palace examination.

For the next five days, many of the tributes had to learn the elaborate etiquette, especially the kneeling ceremony.

The palace examination was presided over by Zhu Youzhen himself, and after the tributes who participated in the palace examination entered the Jianji Palace, they waited for Zhu Youzhen's arrival.

The emperor, accompanied by many ministers, entered the Jianji Palace, and the tributes who participated in the palace examination needed to leave their seats and bow to the emperor.

It wasn't until March 23 that Shi Kefa and the others were able to leave Honglu Monastery and end all training.

There are only two days left before the temple exam.

......

On March 25 of the first year of Chongzhen, it was three o'clock.

Shi Kefa, who was standing outside the Forbidden City with sleepy eyes, was still a little haggard on his face.

Ugly got up at three o'clock and hurried to the Forbidden City, and arrived at the Forbidden City at the second time, and waited outside honestly.

In the capital at the end of spring, the temperature was still very low in the early morning, and Shi Kefa, who was wearing sandwich clothes and running his aura, shivered from the cold, not to mention those who were older, had lower cultivation and had gray hair.

However, the passion in the hearts of the surrounding tributes can offset the cold of the climate.

I didn't sleep all night, and when I just fell asleep, I had to get up, which was too painful.

At three o'clock, the officials of Honglu Temple finally walked out of the Daming Gate and went to the Fengtian Hall with many tributes.

When he walked across the Jinshui Bridge and entered from the Yongdao on the left, Shi Kefa and the other tributes trembled with excitement, because entering this gate was even if he really entered the palace.

The Chengtian Gate in the middle is closed all the year round, and the dynasty will be opened, only for the emperor and the queen to enter and exit, and the tributes who participate in the palace examination have a chance, that is, when the title of the gold list is inscribed, go out from the Chengtian Gate.

At the front and right of the procession were officials from Honglu Temple, who guided the way and maintained order, but also observed the many tributes, and reported the performance of some of them to the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites.

I finally saw the Fengtian Hall in front of me.

The grand square in front of the Fengtian Temple made many tributes excited, and almost all the tributes looked up, looking at the Fengtian Hall and the square in front of them, and their faces became red.

Then the candidates all looked at it with reverence. Dressed in a python robe and jade belt, the scholar looked at it with envy. Wear a big red official robe. Tie the gold and silver belts and look at the squire with an indifferent gaze. looked at the landlord in a green robe, and the outsider. Then a loud voice interrupted the candidate.

"The emperor has arrived. ”

The sound of the Honglu Temple officials running the aura came.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live. ”

All the tributes knelt down, including Shi Kefa, no one raised their heads, and during the training, the officials of Honglu Temple repeatedly emphasized that they must not look up at will, if there is such a move, they will be disqualified from the palace examination.

"Flat. ”

A clear voice came, quite calm.

After sitting down, Shi Kefa could finally use his afterglow to look at Zhu Youzhen above the Danqi in the main hall.

It's a pity that the distance is a little far, and the angle is also a problem, and I can't see the emperor above the Danqi at all.

This is normal, the design of the three major halls is like this, the courtiers in the main hall, if they don't look up, they can't see the emperor on the Danqi at all, if they look up carefully, it is a reckless and gaffe behavior, and it is very likely to be impeached by the officials.

The emperor above the Danqi can clearly see any subtle movement in the hall in front of him.

This is a place of royal dignity and mystery that cannot be desecrated.

......

Zhu Youzhen picked up the knife, personally opened the test questions on the Huang case, and then awarded it to Huang Liji, a university scholar around him, Huang Ge Lao held the test questions in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "In the first year of Chongzhen, the examination of the Imperial Palace, start!" and then handed it to Wen Tiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Under the instructions of the supervisor, the tribute students sat down behind the examination table in turn, and when everyone was seated, Wen Tiren, who had a righteous face, said aloud: "Ladies and gentlemen, this palace examination is divided into two sessions in the morning and afternoon, three hours in the morning, and the examination starts at the hour, and the examination is limited to one thousand words, and the paper must be submitted at the end of noon; after His Majesty gives you a meal in the afternoon, the second examination is not ...... time."

Liu Zongzhou meditated silently in the back, and then said to Wen Tiren: "Lord Wen, the time has come. ”

Wen Tiren nodded, and then preached: "The time has come, answer the questionnaire." ”

The officials of the Ministry of Rites began to scatter the papers. The paper was framed on rice paper, and was extremely elaborate, with each page twelve inches long and four inches wide. There is a red line straight grid, and only 24 characters are allowed to be written on each line, and each word is required to be written in a pavilion style, which is full and neat.

In the end, the test question was asked, and the question was - "The law of the ancestors is the foundation of the country, but the Taizu commercial tax is one out of thirty, and now the treasury is depleted, why is the treasury rich, and where do we follow?"

After reading the test questions, the tributes began to write, and Shi Kefa, like all the tributes, also worked hard to write.

Shi Kefa couldn't see Zhu Youzhen below, but Zhu Youzhen could see him.

Zhu Youzhen is still very interested in this famous anti-Qing general who can compete with Wen Tianxiang in history.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen's afterglow kept looking over there, but he didn't know that it was Wu Weiye who was sitting in front of Shi Kefa, and he felt that Zhu Youzhen had been looking at himself under great pressure, his level had dropped sharply, and his performance was abnormal.
