Liu Ximing couldn't help but jump in his heart when he picked up the test questions, he couldn't help but look up and look quietly at Chongzhen, who was still in the dragon chair, but found that Chongzhen winked at him a little hurriedly, and he was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.

However, Liu Ximing smiled in his heart, and the policy topic written on the exam question was:

"The system said: Those who rule the world together are also scholars. Today's scholars are not misbehaving, and they want to see the small quickly. If you want a righteous person to learn the way of resumption, what can you do? …… Ertos has been paying attention to the affairs of the world for a long time, and he will answer them one by one, and I will see them for myself. ”

In just a few hundred words, Chongzhen has raised all the core issues that Chongzhen is concerned about.

Officials are corrupt and morale is corrupted, how can they be saved?

There are few small people in the eastern captivity, why can't this dynasty beat it?

The bandits are wreaking havoc in the locality, the country has no money, and it is necessary to be sympathetic to the people and feed the army, what is the way to do both?

Tuntian and salt politics are the way to make money in the past dynasties, why can't they be effective?

Why is the civil and military confrontation unbreakable?

Seeing these questions, Liu Ximing sighed in his heart.

Judging from these, Chongzhen is really more promising than his ancestors.

It's a pity, how can a person who has no way to govern the country, no art to govern the country, and no way to govern the country not die.

Although he was full of emotion in his heart, since Liu Ximing had guessed Chongzhen's previous intentions, he would not be unprepared for this.

Pretending to think and pondering for a quarter of an hour, Liu Ximing picked up the pen and picked up the pen to write.

……

The palace test lasted all day, and Chongzhen naturally wouldn't stay in the Jianji Hall for so long, in fact, he just sat for a while at the beginning and left.

When Shen Shi walked out of the examination room in the afternoon, Liu Ximing smiled at each other with Dou Yuquan, Huang Zonghui and others, and silently followed the eunuch out of the Forbidden City.

Liu Ximing and the others were relieved, but many officials who participated in the palace examination had just begun to get busy.

The 300 examination papers are pre-screened and graded by the examiner and the examiner, and then reviewed by the examiner and presented to the emperor.

When many examiners discussed a rough grade, Wen Tiren, Kong Zhenyuan, and Zhang Zhifa each held a volume and read the paper to Chongzhen in turn.

Although it is the emperor's power to evaluate the manor, list, and flower of the first class, it has basically developed a practice over the years, and the first and second books are generally set as the champions, and the other two ministers read the papers in order.

It's just that what Wen Tiren didn't expect was that when he finished reading the test paper, Chongzhen nodded expressionlessly and didn't say anything, just motioned to Kong Zhenyuan to continue reading the paper.

"What's next?"

Kong Zhenyuan finished reading, but Chongzhen was still noncommittal and continued to look at Zhang Zhifa.

Wen Tiren asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you not satisfied with the test papers of these two people?" ”

Chongzhen chuckled and shook his head, "Although the rhetoric is good, what I said can't be implemented, let's take a look at the others first." ”

Wen Tiren's heart fell, so he had to signal Zhang Zhifa to step forward.

When he arrived at this test paper, Chongzhen's eyes lit up.

The argument that the establishment of a government-run business to profit from the merchants can not harm the people and make up for the finances, which is deeply Chongzhen.

When he heard his words about founding a martial arts school, choosing the first student as a student, specializing in martial arts, so that he could break the difference between civil and military affairs, Chongzhen was already a little bright-eyed, and he couldn't hold it back.

"This is this person, this is my champion talent", patiently waited until Zhang Zhifa finished reading, Chongzhen smiled and looked at Wen Tiren and the others.

"Quickly find this person's exam papers, check the name, and I want to see who it is."

"Your Majesty, how can this Bangyan and Tanhua be determined?" , Wen Tiren is still a little older, he didn't rush to get the papers, but asked Chongzhen to set the second and third places together.

Chongzhen was already a little excited at this time, and directly waved his hand and said, "Just take it in the order of the talents." ”

Wen Tiren, Kong Zhenyuan and others looked at each other, how could they make the list look like Chinese cabbage.

Cao Huachun was still clever, and he trotted all the way to get the test papers of the three of them, and when he got there, he giggled and said: "Emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the champion you have appointed is Liu Ximing, the name of the list is Liu Tongsheng, and Chen Zhixuan is Tanhua." ”

"Hahaha, it's really a talent of a countryman, I was not mistaken."

Chongzhen sat on the throne and laughed, then looked at Wen Tiren and said, "Pavilion Elder, let's make a list according to this." ”

"The ministers obey."

Wen Tiren bowed as usual, but he was a little irritable in his heart.

This new Amber has not visited his house since the last time he saw him, and I heard that he has recently gotten close to Huang Zongxi and other people in the Restoration Society, so it can't be said that it is another evil obstacle.

Now looking at the emperor's appearance, it is obvious that he is still very concerned about him, and Wen Tiren's wariness of Liu Ximing in his heart has suddenly risen to the level of Zhang Pu.

Chongzhen's interest did not decrease by half a point, and he instructed Cao Huachun: "Copy a copy of the test paper of Xin Amber, and I will read it several times." ”

Cao Huachun hunched over with a smile on his face, "The old slave will do it." ”

Before he walked out of the Jianji Palace, Cao Huachun beckoned to his godson Lin An.

"Go and give the good news to Xinanbo, the emperor has appointed him as the champion."

Lin An had a surprised expression on his face, "Godfather, this new Amber is so capable, and sure enough, Godfather can see people accurately." ”

Cao Huachun's face squeezed out a few folds, and his face was full of pride.

He shook the dust in his hand, snorted and said: "Our family has been in the palace for so many years, do you think it's all for nothing, hurry up, and now you can still sell favors to others." ”

Lin An nodded with a smile in a hurry, "Don't worry, godfather, my son will go right away." ”

In the Xin'anbo Mansion, Liu Ximing was already ready to sleep.

Tomorrow is the day of the rumor, and the ranking will be announced in public, and he doesn't want to make any jokes in the temple tomorrow.

However, Li Biao's shouting and screaming soon woke him up, and even Chen Yiding, Dou Yuquan and others quarreled.

"Second brother, someone is here in the palace, it's still the same Gonggong Lin last time."

Liu Ximing suddenly turned over and got up, put on his clothes and rushed out, "Take me quickly." But he muttered in his heart, what can happen at this point.

In the main hall of Xin'anbo Mansion, Lin An, who was dressed in a green round-necked internal prison uniform, immediately stood up as soon as he saw Liu Ximing's face, laughed and congratulated him:

"Congratulations uncle, congratulations to uncle, Gonggong Cao made a special trip to call the little one to report the news, the master appointed you to be the champion of the current science meeting, and you can be called the champion in the future."

"What?"

Li Biao, who was following Liu Ximing, was stunned when he heard the news, and then immediately turned around and ran towards the inner courtyard, shouting with a loud laugh: "The second brother is the champion, the second brother is the champion." ”

"Wow"

Many lights were lit up in the originally quiet Xinamber Mansion, and Chen Yiding and the others all walked out with a look of surprise.

Liu Ximing laughed and scolded when he saw Li Biao's move, "This leather monkey hasn't been listed yet, why is it in a hurry." ”

Lin An laughed again and again, "The emperor has spoken, this is a sure thing, uncle doesn't have to be too humble, by the way, a small reminder to you, you can prepare a thank you table." ”

"Hahaha, I accept your auspicious words", Liu Ximing laughed while taking out five 1,000 taels of silver tickets from Fengtai Qianzhuang in the capital and handed them over.

"With this little money, I invited Grandpa Cao and Grandpa Lin to eat and drink, thank Grandpa Cao for me."

"The small one must be brought", Lin An's mouth couldn't close with a smile, and he took the silver ticket and hurriedly said goodbye.

In the inner courtyard, looking at Dou Yuquan and the others who had been awakened, Liu Ximing smiled lightly, and had to step forward to explain a few words.

Because they had to roll call the next day, even if Dou Yuquan, Xu Wei and others couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, they could only lie down and recuperate first.

However, everyone's spirit is refreshed, and this is a great joy.

There are many rules on this day, and the day after the end of the palace examination, Liu Ximing and others came to Guozijian to receive special jinshi uniforms.

The Jinshi uniform is more atmospheric than the Juren uniform, the clothes are dark blue robes, and the headscarf is a Jinshi scarf with draped straps on both sides.

At this level, in fact, Liu Ximing and others can already be regarded as court officials, so each person is also equipped with a wat board made of acacia wood.

However, these jinshi uniforms were not given to them as tributes, and they had to be returned to the kokuzijian after they were worn on the day of the pass and many other ceremonies.

Liu Ximing couldn't cry or laugh a little, isn't this fucking the same as the bachelor's uniform, master's uniform and doctoral uniform that graduated from university, it seems that my Dameng still knows the truth of frugality.

Fortunately, a group of people are all quasi-jinshi, and Guozijian does not dare to slack off, these jinshi uniforms are all cleanly washed and ironed neatly, and there is no burden to wear.

However, Liu Ximing was moved in his heart, and he would definitely open schools at all levels in the future, and the etiquette and clothing seemed to be ready-made.

Thinking that future college students will no longer have to wear white-skinned and bullshit doctor's uniforms after graduation, but will wear my gorgeous Jinshi uniform, Liu Ximing's heart is as refreshing as eating a popsicle.
