For many days in a row, sweaters have become the new favorite of the people of Beijing, and the direct result is the wailing of cloth villages and silk shops, the impact is not a little bit, and silk can be slightly better, because silk is supplied to the rich, but the shops that generally sell linen and silk are unbearable.

Lu Zifei knew very well that cotton cloth had not been popularized in large quantities at this time, and the utilization value of cotton was found in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, and it was the Ming Dynasty that really carried it forward, and the cotton cloth of the Ming Dynasty had replaced hemp, silk, and silk as the main textile raw materials.

In the feudal era of backward technology, woolen sweaters are not a luxury, and it is estimated that there will be no second time after people with conditions choose once, and the biggest reason why Lu Zifei let him appear is that he wants to solve the Northwest problem without blood, and after affirming Pei Peipei's achievements, he let it go, because the first important moment of his life has arrived.

Why do people like teenagers, because you can see in them vitality, you can see positivity, you can see hope for the future, and they give people the feeling that there is hope for tomorrow.

Lu Zifei, Jia An, Liu Chang, Han Jiang, Zhang Dian, and Liu Chu stood in a row to check each other's appearance, the long-awaited palace test was today, and they couldn't wait.

"The scriptures have also been recited, the Buddha has also worshipped, whether it is a grass chicken or a phoenix depends on today, anyway, I am absolutely sure, you don't want to stand there and look at me enviously after falling behind Sun Mountain." Lu Zifei teased casually.

Liu Chang pouted and said: "Hanzhang, don't be arrogant, who is the person you envy?" How many people are waiting in the dark to see you laugh at your vows today? A few of us don't want to be one of those people. ”

After talking for a while, Lu Zifei saw that everyone's emotions were almost adjusted, so he said, "Come on!" ”

Six people, twelve hands, this stack is a lifetime, today's picture is an important part of their memories of youth and madness when they are old, and the six teenagers shouted "Come on" at the same time

Before leaving, there was a funny scene, Jun Xiang staggered to Lu Zifei and said in a milky voice: "Come on, Daddy"

This reminded him of the future generations of graduate students and doctoral students who took their sons to school, but he didn't expect that he would have this day, the same nature in different eras, and if he was named outside Donghua Gate today, it would be complete.

Three luxurious carriages carried six people towards the palace, and they arrived at the gate of the imperial city without saying a word, all the candidates were waiting here, and Lu Zifei and they also got out of the car, not to mention that they really met two acquaintances in the crowd.

Zhi Kexing came up and hammered Lu Zifei's chest and said, "Hanzhang, it's really difficult to see you as a busy person." ”

"Don't hurt me, there are too many things, I heard from my family that you have been here, it is my sin, it will be fine after the temple test, I am waiting for you to come at any time, and words count."

After greeting Zhang Yongxu for a while, the people from the Ministry of Rites arrived, and after the roll call and identity verification, this person took them to the Zichen Palace, Liu Chang was very familiar with the person and whispered: "Sima Guang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is a great character." ”

Lu Zifei said secretly: "Smash the cylinder boy Sima Guang!" It seems that there is nothing inconspicuous in the pile of people, but such a mediocre-looking person has written such a masterpiece, and people can't look like this! ”

Today's protagonists are more than 400 candidates, the officials gave up their usual place to stand on both sides, the tables and chairs placed in the hall seemed to be a little crowded, after worshipping Zhao Zhen, someone came out to explain when Lu Zifei was puzzled.

"Today's palace test should have been placed in the Chongzheng Palace, but there was a temporary problem in the Chongzheng Palace, and the place in the Zichen Hall is a little smaller, but it will not affect your answers, and now the candidates are sitting in their places according to the roll call."

The first person is called Yang Zhi, who is the first place in the exam, the second is Jia Di, the third is Wang Qi, and the fourth is finally Lu Zifei's turn.

After tossing for nearly an hour, the little eunuch in the palace carried Zhao Zhen's test questions and appeared, the palace test was made by the emperor, and the papers were graded on the spot, cheating and luck are similar to the Arabian Nights here, the candidates frowned when they looked at the exam questions, not that the questions were too difficult, but too simple, almost everyone had seen similar example questions.

'Those who hear the Tao are suitable for healing, and those who pass on the Tao without harm are also preached. Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and happiness are all their own, and discipline and law are all in place, so those who maintain the fixtures are also. Eight political cultivation and sufficient food, seven teachings and prison lawsuits. Cuo country is like Tang Yu, towering across three generations, and there is no disadvantage of loyalty, quality, and literature to win, where is its strategy? ’

The answer to this question is very wide, asking how to better govern the country, which is mixed with the handling of the relationship between the Song, Liao, and Western Xia, it can be said that since there is the imperial examination, every dynasty has examined this problem, since there is a precedent, you want to make a good article to surpass the predecessors, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

The time for the palace test was not so abundant, and in front of all the courtiers and the emperor, some people had not calmed down until now, and then Lu Zifei's advantage came out, and he tried to think about how to answer from the perspective of Zhao Zhen and the minister.

After careful consideration, he chose a smooth answer, you are a maverick in the palace examination, the pen goes sideways, and there is only a dead end for grandstanding, and the predecessors who can think of it have already thought about it for you, and now you can only answer the question in combination with the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty.

After thinking about the outline in his mind, Lu Zifei began to put pen to paper on scratch paper, he was the first person in the hall to start writing, Liang Shi was surprised when he saw it, this is too imprudent! If you don't have enough time, don't be in such a hurry!

The impression of Lu Zifei fell to a low point in an instant, and he was a good boy ruined by glory! The one who sees it most clearly belongs to Zhao Zhen, he is full of confidence in Lu Zifei, as long as Lu Zifei's article is not bad today, there is no one else in the champion position.

Time goes very fast, most of the time has passed after the state of the candidates is clear at a glance, at this time Lu Zifei has completed the transcription work, Sima Guang came behind him, saw the words on the answer sheet and shouted in his heart first, this hand of the emperor's flying white body copy is really beautiful, the article is good or bad, just this word, tsk, there is no weak person under the fame.

After Sima Guang left, several people did the same thing, Hu Ying left with satisfaction after seeing it, although Lu Zifei and him have never had a nominal teacher-student relationship, but Lu Zifei's knowledge in the imperial examination was taught by him, Lu Zifei did this article by himself, but that's it, there is no accident, the champion belongs to him.

When the time to hand in the papers, the people of the Ministry of Rites took away the papers, and the candidates were relieved, most of the people in the department were cold for ten years This is the first time to participate in the palace examination, and these people are showing a little more relaxed on their faces, and those who have participated many times are full of nervousness, once every three years, how many three years in life.

"Hanzhang, how did you answer, I think it's too simple! It's a waste of how long we've been preparing. Han Jiang leaned over and said.

Jia Dian said: "Zihua, didn't you find that the easier it is, the more difficult it is?" There are too many good articles from predecessors. ”

Zhang Dian was also a little discouraged and said: "Yes! I was stunned when I saw the exam questions, and the emperor's question was too casual, but who knew that when I answered the questions, I found that I couldn't write. ”

Lu Zifei also felt the same way, and said helplessly: "My article today is done steadily, and there are not many surprising places, you guys didn't brag about it in the article!" ”

Seeing that they all shook their heads, Lu Zifei was relieved, this is an obvious pit, whoever jumps will die, I didn't expect Zhao Zhen to be such a sinister person, and the teenagers who were not deeply involved in the world also happily praised the simplicity of the topic, but they didn't know that the fox laughed the happiest.

The people of the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy picked out the ten answer sheets that they thought were the best and handed them to the emperor, and then Zhao Zhen personally ranked the ten people, and the rest were decided by the people of the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy.

Zhao Zhen flipped through the ten test papers and found that Lu Zifei's was also among them, Shangguan Wen, who had been by Zhao Zhen's side for a long time, saw that the emperor's face was obviously better than just now, Zhao Zhen was mainly worried that Lu Zifei would not be able to enter the top ten, and he couldn't cheat for him if he wanted to, so it's okay.

Adhering to the principle of fairness, Zhao Zhen still read all ten exam papers carefully, and the rankings were quickly decided, Liang Shi saw that the ranking was not the slightest surprise, and the Hou Ye, who he was not optimistic about at first, later admitted that he had lost his eyes, but how did the names of the list and Tanhua look a little familiar.

The most surprised person is Ouyang Xiu, he glanced at the list, Lu Zifei's relationship with the emperor There are very few people in the Song Dynasty who don't know, but the next few people have nothing to do with the emperor, which means that they have relied on their real skills to kill the forefront, and this list will cause a big sensation if it goes out.

Paying attention to the palace examination is not only the emperor and ministers, but also those people outside the city, the parents of the candidates, the scholars who came to wait for the emperor's list, the subordinates, the boudoir of the official eunuchs, etc., looking at the sky, they feel that it should be soon.

Master Li, who was far away in the Daimyo's mansion, ran away in anger, but at this time he also prayed devoutly, the four joys of life, the title of the gold list is particularly important for a teenager, it is the first step on his life road, Master Li hopes that his sweetheart will not wait until three years later to come again.

In addition to the top ten, the ranking behind is simple, those people from the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy quickly got it, and everyone had no opinion after reading the list and it went to Zhao Zhen's hands.

"Let's take a roll call according to this list!" Zhao Zhen glanced at it and said.

The roll call of the palace examination is different from the township test and the general examination, the palace examination is from the first to the third, that is, from the front to the back, while the township examination and the general examination are from back to front when the list is posted.

In everyone's expectations, there was a rumor in the palace that "Lu Zifei, the first-class candidate of Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion, gave Jinshi and the first." "Three consecutive rings resounded through the imperial city.
