The authority of the Ministry of Rites in the six ministries is the lowest, their most glorious and highlight moment is the emperor's sacrifice to the sky, the court's great ceremony, and the rest is the triennial talent ceremony, that is, the imperial examination, which is the most important place in the scope of the Ministry of Rites.

In Chinese history, the feudal dynasty attached the most importance to the literati was the Song Dynasty, Di Qing's military rank was equivalent to the commander of a large military region in later generations, and Lu Zifei was what, the secretary of the discipline inspection committee of a provincial capital, even if the gap was so big, Di Qing saw Lu Zifei and called him 'adult'.

Liang Shi usually has to take a breath when he walks two steps to the court, but today, he seems to have eaten the golden gun without pouring pills, the washed court clothes are neatly worn on his body, and his beard is meticulously cared for.

The article of the palace examination is the revision of the Hanlin Academy, they select the best ten test papers and then hand them over to the emperor to determine the ranking, the top ten are Zhao Zhending, and the later Hanlin Academy is done.

Zhao Zhen carefully read the ten test papers in the Vertical Arch Palace, because it was a vague name, he didn't know what the final ranking was, and he wanted to know that he could only wait for the Zihuan Hall to open under everyone's own witness.

The candidates who participated in the palace examination stood in place one by one, and Wen Zhenhua said to Zhang Qi next door: "I want to go to the toilet, what should I do, I don't know how long it will take, if I am suffocated, I will have to kill me." ”

Zhang Qi observed the surroundings and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he said viciously: "Can you pay attention, and don't look at what kind of place this is, by the way, how did you answer the test paper." ”

"It's okay, it's not difficult, I really want to go to the bathroom, I didn't lie to you."

"Hold on, I guess it will take a while. If it doesn't work, you can solve it on the spot! ”

Wen Zhenhua just didn't dare to move too much, otherwise he really wanted to slap Zhang Qi to death, solve it on the spot, and see the situation!

"What are you two talking about there? Don't look at it, it refers to the two of you, didn't the family tell you the rules when you came? If you don't want to stand, go out on your own. ”

The officials of the Ministry of Rites who maintained order saw Wen Zhenhua and Zhang Qi who were whispering mercilessly reprimanded, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were not stupid.

Except for a very small number of people who are unlucky, the rest of the people can basically get into the jinshi, of course, the ranking is also very important, which is related to their later work assignment.

"The Emperor has arrived"

The courtiers are okay, they can often see Zhao Zhen, these candidates can finally secretly raise their heads and take a peek at Zhao Zhen's appearance, they didn't use that guts when they took the exam just now.

After opening the name, Shangguan Wen handed the test paper to Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen was a little surprised to see the name on it, but none of them were heard of by him, because the test paper was written with the candidate's hometown, so Zhao Zhen clearly saw that these people were near Luoyang.

The courtiers also noticed that Zhao Zhen's expression was wrong, but no one dared to disturb, Zhao Zhen glanced at Shangguan Wen in the direction of Liang Shi, and Shangguan Wen understood what Zhao Zhen meant.

Liang Shi looked at the ranking set by Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this?" The answers to each test paper are different, and there is no trace of cheating! ”

"I don't need to say that they cheat, you take a closer look and see if there is anything else different."

Poor Liang Shi's old eyes were dizzy, and he took out a pair of exquisite reading glasses produced by the Lu family from his arms with difficulty, since the question is not stupid in answering the question, it is much simpler, from his name to his address to the recommender during the township test, he did not let go of any small details.

When he looked at the five test papers, Liang Shi found the problem, four of the answer papers were from Luoyang, and the remaining one was from the capital, which was never used in previous years.

In the last palace test, Lu Zifei had a good relationship with them, but they also came from different regions, and they couldn't resist the desire to speak, Liang Shi still finished reading the rest of the test papers, and sure enough, there were three copies of Luoyang.

"Your Majesty, they have a common characteristic, they are all related to that Tsinghua University, it is obvious that they were taught by a gentleman, and from the perspective of writing and style, there is no problem."

"Since it's useless, let's announce it! I must go and see this school in person if I have time, otherwise this Hanlin Academy feels that it is specially opened for their family, not to mention that he is quite talented in teaching and educating people. ”

"Your Majesty, he is quite talented in everything, of course, except for martial arts, he seems to be born unable to practice martial arts, but he has a smooth sail on the battlefield, which is really difficult to understand."

Zhao Zhen said: "Don't be envious, you can't learn his wisdom, you can't put it in your own head, forget it this year, pay attention next time, at least give others a chance, you say no." "Of course, the voice is quieter.

The corner of Liang Shi's eyes moved slightly, it seems that he disagrees with Zhao Zhen's statement, every candidate has an equal opportunity, and if others do well in the exam, it must be because others have put in more effort than you, how can they be dismissed because they are a teacher, and a school can be dismissed.

"First place Wen Zhenhua", "First place Wen Zhenhua", "First place Wen Zhenhua" "First place Wen Zhenhua" The first place is the champion, only the champion will sing three times in a row, Bangyan and Tanhua are twice, and the remaining second and third are only sung once.

"Erjia 504 Fan Zhong"

If it is said that the entrance examination is a stepping stone to enter this person, then the palace examination is the key to stepping in.

In the eyes of tens of thousands of people, several belated guards posted the imperial list outside the Suzaku Gate, crying, laughing, shouting, anyway, all they could hear were excited voices, and a few old men were even more excited when they saw the names on the list than they were to marry the thirty-sixth concubine.

Today belongs to only one person, that is Wen Zhenhua, because most of the people remember the first place, Wen Zhenhua relived the feeling of his own husband, wearing a champion suit, riding on a white horse, that is called a spirit.

Those deep ladies, the top brand of the Qinglou, including the Oiran of the Sea Mingyue Building on the first floor of Bianjing, are no exception, they let go of their reserve, and took the initiative to throw flattery to the champion, throw the purse, and set the relatives and tokens, in the past, they did not see each other once a month, and today it is like not wanting money.

When the guards led the horses to the end of the parade, they suddenly let go, this is the custom, because the next show is to catch the son-in-law under the list, and the dignitaries in the capital are also staring at it with wide eyes? A champion who is not happy to be a fast son-in-law of Chenglong.

When the guards let go of the reins, the parade was over, and then it was time for those family members and private soldiers to play their role, and the new branch jinshi basically knew this routine, but they didn't expect these people to be crazy to such a point.

Rushing up, the team of hundreds of people was surrounded, you can think about how many people they came, and in the confusion, I only heard someone say: "Look at it, pick the champion first, explore the flowers and follow the example, if you can't catch it, pick those young ones, our young lady is only sixteen this year, don't tie her up to a sixty-year-old old man to go back." ”

Wen Zhenhua and the others were frightened by this formation, although they had seen a lot, but this was definitely the first time in such a situation! Relying on their youth, they didn't look at the place, so they rushed forward one by one, until they couldn't see anyone Wen Zhenhua and Gong Yihua beside him stopped.

"They are really crazy, fortunately we ran fast, otherwise they would have been kidnapped to be the son-in-law."

Gong Yihua said: "This is still a little bit told us by the family, I really saw it today, can the son-in-law who was caught back like this be able to do it?" These people, a little sick. ”

"Look, I guessed right! Waiting for the rabbit really let our brother catch two big fish, just catch all of them back to the eldest lady and the second lady one person, today this business is doing well, buy one get one free. ”

Wen Zhenhua said speechlessly: "We have all fled here, you can still find it, and admire it." ”

Gong Yihua said: "I still admire a fart, I really wait to be a son-in-law if I don't run!" ”

The good thing is that Yao Xueying brought the family to rescue the two of them, and on the way back, Wen Zhenhua said: "Xuexue, why don't you say it earlier, if you come a little later, maybe I will become someone else tomorrow." ”

Yao Xueying said: "My father took someone to wait outside the palace early this morning? The two of you ran too fast, and there were so many people that the outside hurried to catch up with you. ”

There were a lot of people who came to congratulate Yao's house, Yao Xueying happened to meet the people of the Yao family's head when they arrived, and the previous disdainful attitude was gone, and a young man said with a smile: "Cousin, cousin really didn't misunderstand you, you are different from others since you were a child, and you are the Wenqu Xingna of our Yao family." ”

"My cousin has won the award, Wenqu Xing doesn't dare to be it, several of my senior brothers have taken the lead in the first and second grades, and my cousin will have some axes when he says this."

"Poor in the downtown no one asks, rich in the mountains have distant relatives" summed up too well, when you have use value, they are like flies that smell carrion, once you lose the only bit of value, then they will kick you far away.

"Have you heard of it, it's just that you will try those jokes with propaganda slogans, and they are all among them."

"Yes, I've also heard that it's the one called Tsinghua University, and they all came from there."

"Brother, your news is outdated, the last few bigwigs are also from there, I will go to Luoyang tomorrow, I have to see what is different between them."

From today onwards, Tsinghua University will not be as easy to recruit students as before, and Kong Daofu, who got the list of new class jinshi this year, locked himself in his room and smashed everything in the room that could be broken.
