Zhong Jian walked to the east gate of the palace, followed by many students.

As for those students who have fallen behind, some of them have already planned to leave Changsha. Others are running back and forth in various schools in Changsha, wanting to enter these institutions and fight again next year.

Not everyone is just satisfied with Gongshi, after all, Jinshi is the supreme pursuit of students in this era.

"Student Zhong Jian, I've met all of you."

Zhong Jian saw his name at the top of the list, and silently recited two comments from Zhao Dongting's imperial pen in his heart. He bent down and bowed his hand to the officials who released the list.

He was rather handsome, emaciated, and wore a teal robe with a few patches. However, his complexion was neither humble nor arrogant.

Probably this is a real reader.

There is poetry and books in the chest.

When the official heard him call himself Zhong Jian, he was surprised at first, and then he didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile: "Childe is polite, polite." ”

The leading official picked up the only remaining token of Zhong Jian from the bookcase next to him and handed it to Zhong Jian, "Young Master Zhong, this is your token." Remember, two days later, before the first day of the third month, you will go to the palace to meet the Holy One. The saint said that if there is a jinshi who does not expire, he must cancel the status of the jinshi. The emperor dislikes people who are not punctual. ”

Zhong Jian took the token, was polite, and bowed again: "Zhong Jian remember, thank you." ”

"Zhong Gongzi is polite."

The smile on the face of the leading official was even stronger, "The son is talented, and he will definitely be reused by the emperor in the future." I'll wait, and I'll have to ask my son to take care of me in the future! ”

Although Zhong Jian is talented, he is not pedantic, and said: "Nature, nature." ”

Then he bowed his hand to the surrounding students and onlookers, and turned to leave.

Immediately after that, he went to the street again to shout and copy books.

This made those who followed him and were not willing to give up on getting close to him speechless. are already "new champions", but what words are they still selling?

With Zhong Jian's fame at this time, as long as he opens his mouth, I am afraid that there will be a steady stream of people who are willing to send him money. You can make a lot of money.

No, he doesn't need to open his mouth at all.

Not long after, a wealthy businessman came with gold ingots and wanted to invite Zhong Jian into the mansion for a banquet.

This is the invitation, and with so much gold, you can imagine how ambitious these wealthy businessmen are to Zhong Jian.

After the reform of the imperial examination system, the first "new champion" may be able to enter the center of the imperial court after the state order Lu Xiufu and others retire. This is the biggest potential stock of Da Song at the moment.

However, Zhong Jian refused one after another.

He was obviously aware of his situation. These wealthy businessmen and officials rushed up to deliver charcoal in the snow, and he wanted to accept it, and what he owed was favors.

Won't you have to repay such a favor in the future?

When everyone saw him refuse, they didn't dare to use force, and they were all disappointed at the moment.

I didn't dare to find another way, and asked Zhong Jian to write poems and words for them at the moment.

This is the ink treasure of the future masters.

Of course, the pen polishing fee for these people who ask for words is undoubtedly very high.

In this regard, Zhong Jian did not insist on refusing.

In a short period of time, there were already a lot of gold ingots beside him.

Zhong Jian looked at these gold ingots from time to time, counting them carefully, as if he was bargaining for something.

When there were twenty-one gold ingots, he suddenly put away the stall and said to the people around him: "Thank you for your support, Zhong Jian needs to go back to study, goodbye." ”

Then he put away his stall and left like this, alone, looking very different from those rich people in fresh clothes and angry horses.

Eventually, he went outside the city and settled in a dilapidated temple.

These days of the imperial examination, he did not have any money to stay in the inn, so he lived in this dilapidated temple every night.

When everyone learned about this, they just sighed, Zhong Gongzi is really a scholar.

By the end of the evening, even Zhao Dongting, who was in the deep palace, heard about this and laughed lightly, "This Zhong Jian is an interesting person. ”

Zhang Shijie, the supervisor who came to report in person, asked softly: "Your Majesty, then do we want to take him into the palace, or go to the old minister's mansion." Now that our Song Imperial Examination has just begun, it is rare for a student like Zhong Jian to have knowledge and style. ”

"No."

Zhao Dongting shook his head, "It's too special for him, and it will cause dissatisfaction among the rest of the jinshi." Moreover, Zhong Jian may also be pampered and arrogant, and when the time comes, the loss of our Great Song will be great. ”

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Shijie bowed and said no more.

Zhao Dongting couldn't cry or laugh.

These old ministers always say that he is holy at every turn. But where can he not understand that Zhang Shijie did it on purpose just now?

With Zhang Shijie's head, he may not even be able to think of this thing?

But he didn't bother to say anything more about Zhang Shijie.

After all these years, he no longer had the luxury of changing the bad habit of these old ministers to slap horses in front of him.

There's no way, who makes himself the emperor!

After two more days, it will be the day when all the scholars enter the palace to face the saints.

Zhao Dongting still got up before dawn as usual, meditated, practiced swords, and exercised sword intent, and when these were done, it was already close to dawn.

Zhang Ru and Ying'er also got up at this time, and then accompanied Zhao Dongting to breakfast. After the palace maids dressed up Zhao Dongting, Zhao Dongting took the eunuchs to the main hall.

Since the abolition of the early dynasty system, he, the emperor, has been much easier than before. There is no need to get up before the fifth watch.

When he arrived at the main hall, Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, Chen Jianghan and other officials of the current dynasty and the chief officials of various ministries were already waiting outside the hall.

As for those Jinshi who passed the palace test, although they had to enter the palace gate, they were still waiting for Xuanhou at the second palace gate at this time. This gate is the gate of righteousness.

Zhao Dongting saw Lu Xiufu and the others, smiled, and said with a smile: "Why did you all arrive so early?" ”

The ministers were speechless.

They obviously found that the emperor was far from being diligent, and he got up much later than the emperors of previous dynasties. However, with Xuanhe's political achievements, they naturally won't say anything.

Even those doctors and historians of the Imperial History Terrace did not dare to touch Zhao Dongting's brows with this.

Zhao Dongting saw that the ministers had strange faces, and laughed twice, "You all follow me into the hall." ”

And the crowd rushed in, and walked into the main hall.

As soon as he arrived in the hall and sat down, Zhao Dongting, who was sitting on the top dragon chair, asked again: "I'm afraid that you adults already have favored students in your hearts, right?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but smile slightly.

In addition to Zhong Jian, there are indeed many students with real talents and real learning. Some professional knowledge makes them shine in the eyes of these officers.

Chen Jianghan groaned slightly, and then saluted: "Your Majesty, don't you really give these Jinshi important positions directly?" ”

This was said to them by Zhao Dongting before the imperial examination.

The palace examination is a way for the imperial court to select top talents, but these individual talents must not be allowed to ascend to the sky in one step.

As for why, Zhao Dongting did not explain.

At this time, Chen Jianghan and the others obviously had some doubts in their hearts. In their opinion, with the professional knowledge of these students, they are already worthy of great responsibilities.

But as everyone knows, in Zhao Dongting's eyes, even the most brilliant Zhong Jian is actually like that.

It has not been a long time since the various universities have opened majors, and even the teachers are still studying and teaching while learning. How can these Jinshi really enter Zhao Dongting's eyes?

They are far worse off than the college students of later generations.

It's a pity that Zhao Dongting is also a mortal, and it is impossible to understand everything. Naturally, it is impossible to compile textbooks for these institutions.

Hearing Chen Jianghan's words, he nodded slightly and said, "No matter how knowledgeable a person is, he has to go through experience." Knowledge and practice have always been two different things! ”

The ministers groaned for a moment when they heard this, and then they all nodded in agreement.

What the emperor said is really reasonable.

Some people are able to apply their knowledge in practice, but some people may not be able to do it, and they can only talk about it on paper.

At that moment, everyone was ready to bow to Zhao Dongting again.

Seeing this, Zhao Dongting hurriedly waved his hand and chuckled: "There is no need to salute." ”

After that, he turned his head and looked at Gonggong Liu next to him, "Let all the scholars who have passed this palace test enter the hall!" ”

"Xuanxin Kejin scholars are here."

Gonggong Liu shouted outside with a sharp throat.

Then, the shout passed through the mouths of many eunuchs and went towards the Zhengde Gate.

Naturally, all the jinshi took Zhong Jian as the leader and walked towards the main hall.

A total of one hundred and forty-seven people.
