The imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was conducted at four levels, the Yuan Examination (Tong Examination), the Township Examination, the Hui Examination and the Palace Examination.

The preceding examinations are all local examinations, which are presided over by the Ministry of Rites and held in the second year of the township examinations.

Raise people in the Beijing Division, and the first name is Huiyuan.

The palace examination was held in the year after the examination, and the candidates were tributes, and the tributes did not fail in the palace examination, but the emperor rearranged the ranking.

The palace examination was presided over by the emperor himself, and the admission was divided into three grades.

The first and third places, the first name is the champion, the second is the eye, and the third is the flower.

The second class is born as a jinshi. Sanjia Citong Jinshi was born, commonly known as Jinshi, Jinshi list is written on yellow paper, so it is called the gold list, and the middle jinshi is called the title of the gold list.

What Zhu Youzhen and Fan Jingwen of the household department Shangshu said is the examination, and this year's examination is different from previous years, and there is no eight-strand text.

Don't look at someone who writes Bagu Wen well, but he may not be a talent, he just can write Bagu Wen, and what Zhu Youzhen wants is to be an official.

I want to write an article this year, and the topic of the article is Zhu Youzhen's own question, and the topic is (loyalty, filial piety, honesty and shame)

I will try these four words to write an essay to explain my understanding of these four words and give examples.

After the examination, the household department selected the best 300 chapters of articles from it and sent them to the emperor, and then the emperor personally reviewed them.

In other words, these three hundred people have the opportunity to meet the emperor, but the ranking will not be determined from the article, but will be determined by their future performance.

Zhu Youzhen's decision, if it is put on the real Chongzhen, it is estimated that he will be sprayed to death by civil officials, but now whoever dares to spray people at will will go to prison.

In the past, in order to balance the interests of the south and the north, the champions were divided into the south and the north, and if there was no distinction, none of the northerners could enter the top five.

However, Zhu Youzhen particularly emphasized this time that only looking at the article and not looking at the people and regions, no matter where you are, as long as the article can be written well and you can set an example, you will definitely have a bright future.

After the two of them discussed, Fan Jingwen, the head of the household, was about to exit the imperial study of the Qianqing Palace with a face full of doubts, and was stopped by Zhu Youzhen:

"Also, the time of the palace examination has not been decided, after the end of the examination, the top three hundred in the examination, don't leave the capital for the time being, I will take the palace examination at any time.

"Wechen obeys"

Fan Jingwen, the head of the household, really didn't know what the emperor meant, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only do it strictly according to the emperor's requirements.

After Fan Jingwen left, Zhu Youzhen could finally relax, he stretched and leaned on the soft chair, and slowly closed his eyes.

Unconsciously, Zhu Youzhen actually fell asleep, and it was not until a slight sound of footsteps came that Zhu Youzhen opened his eyes.

However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw two delicate pretty faces appear in front of him.

"Father, are you awake? Erchen misses you so much, next time you go out, you must take us with you......"

While the two pretty little beauties were talking, one of them hugged Zhu Youzhen's arm.

The two little beauties are Zhu Weijiao and Jianwen, and they both leaned their little heads on their father's shoulders and began to be coquettish.

"Haha, my father misses you too, come and let my father see if my baby is thin?"

"Poof...... How can you be thin? The sons and daughters have grown up. ”

Zhu Weijiao couldn't help but laugh coquettishly, and deliberately straightened up.

It was only at this time that Zhu Youzhen realized that the girl had grown up, the big square was big, the thin place was fine, and the little girl's figure was absolutely first-class.

Looking at Jianwen again, he is also very smart, because he was malnourished when he was a child, and now he is just starting to develop, but at first glance, he is a beauty.

Under normal circumstances, without the emperor's summons, even a princess can't come to see the emperor casually.

But Zhu Youzhen is not an antique, she gave the two princesses full freedom, and they could move around the entire palace at will.

The two girls are also very sensible, and generally do not easily disturb their father when there is nothing to do.

Don't look at them as princesses, but they are still little girls after all.

After Zhu Youzhen left the palace, they always felt a little helpless, and when they heard that their father was back, they immediately came to say goodbye.

The little eunuch outside the door found out that the princess was coming, and just wanted to inform the emperor, Zhu Weijiao made a silent gesture to him, and the little eunuch was silent.

Since the crossing, Zhu Youzhen can only feel the warmth of home when he is with them.

He caressed the heads of his two daughters lovingly and laughed:

"Haha...... Yes, when you grow up, you can get married, and in a while, my father will find you a good family to marry......"

"Father...... The sons should not marry, but the sons should be with their fathers......"

Hearing that their father wanted to marry them off, Zhu Weijiao and Jianwen immediately knelt down in front of Zhu Youzhen and begged bitterly, and their pretty faces were instantly wet with tears.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the two pretty faces with pear blossoms and rain, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and reached out to pull them up.

"Come, get up, most of the girl's parents have to get married, even if you are princesses, tell your father quickly, why don't you want to marry?"

In the Ming Dynasty, girls had to marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen, Zhu Weijiao was just fifteen years old this year, Princess Jianwen was thirteen years old, and if she didn't marry, she would soon become an old girl.

"Don't, we're still young, we want to accompany our father, we don't want to marry, woo woo............"

The two princesses said, and they hugged Zhu Youzhen's legs and cried again.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly pulled them up and said with a smile:

"Haha...... Who said just now that he has grown up, why is he getting smaller now......"

Zhu Weijiao and Jianwen both blushed, and the two little girls buried their heads in their father's arms at the same time and whispered:

"Father...... That's not what people mean, anyway, don't get married......"

Zhu Youzhen happily touched their little heads:

"Okay, if you don't marry, don't marry, how about my father wait for you to be eighteen years old and then let you marry?"

"Uh-huh, thank you, father, I'll talk about it then......"

After all, Zhu Youzhen is a modern person, and it is normal for some college students and graduate students to get married at the age of 30.

Therefore, he also obeyed the two precious girls, the princess does not exist and cannot be married, even if she is thirty years old, she can give marriage, who dares not to obey.

Hearing that their father was not forcing them to marry, the two princesses immediately burst into tears and laughed:

"Hehe, father, let's go out to dinner, it's time for dinner."

"Out for dinner?"

Zhu Youzhen was stunned at the time, as an emperor and princess, how could he go out for dinner, there was nothing delicious in the imperial dining room.

"No, how can we go out of the palace to eat at will, it's not appropriate......"

"Father, go to our royal hotel for dinner, there are private rooms there, and the sons manage those hotels, and often eat there......"

"I'll ...... How can this be, if you let the ancestors know, don't scold me to death......"

Thinking that the two princesses often ran out to eat, Zhu Youzhen was a little speechless for a while.

Although he is a traverser, but now he is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all, so he can't be too modern!

But before he could speak, the two princesses hugged their arms and began to shake and coquettishly:

"Father, let's go, didn't you let us manage the Royal Chamber of Commerce? How can there be a princess who personally shows up to manage the Chamber of Commerce, and now that she has broken the convention, let's ignore those old rules, let's go......"
