After the list of the test is released, because the palace test does not brush people, most of the people who have won the tribute are relaxed, and they feast and drink with the same family tribute and fellow villagers, so uncomfortable. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

But they're not all wasting their lives and having fun in the countryside. After winning the tribute, unless you don't want to be an official, you will have an official seat; And Jinshi is more valuable than the students of Guozijian, and the lowest is also a seven-grade parent official. So although they have not yet been awarded officials, they have already stepped into officialdom.

Since you have stepped into the officialdom, you must follow the rules of officialdom. Although the emperor certainly did not want his officials to form a faction, this was inevitable. Even if you don't want to be corrupt and bend the law, if you have something to do, it's always good to have someone in the court to support you.

That's why they have to participate in all kinds of banquets and pull relationships everywhere. But because of this, they also have to think twice about attending these banquets. Even the seniors in the same province have different dealings with each other, and it is necessary to carefully consider whose banquet to attend, who is the false response story, and who is the real collusion.

On the contrary, it is possible to be casual among the same department, everyone has just entered the officialdom, unless there are people in the family who do not deal with it, and in other cases, even if they know that the person who takes refuge on the other side and the person who they are going to take refuge are not very good.

However, there is a slight embarrassment this year, that is, there is no teacher. This year, there are six graders who have reviewed their own papers, and there are two examiners, but there is no chief examiner, so these newly baked tributes don't know who to worship.

But immediately, a nimble kung shi reacted: this meant that all eight of them could become masters. Although it is certainly not as close as it was when there was only one teacher before, it also means that the relationship is more extensive. Which situation is better depends on the respective management.

Most of the tributes were struggling to figure out these things in the officialdom.

Of course, there are also a very small number of tributes who, in addition to accepting a few feasts and drinks, are still reading or thinking in the inn with their heads bored.

Such people have great expectations for the palace test, so they go to Sandingjia, such as Hu Guang and Yang Zirong.

Hu Guang and the other new tributes did not know the process of evaluating the tributes, thinking that it was mainly decided by the marking officer, and Hu Guang still attached great importance to the ranking of the palace examination. Now is not the late Ming Dynasty when everything is based on the rules of civil officials, the emperor's authority is very great, at least no one dares to be crooked in appointing officials.

Therefore, for very ambitious people, if they pass the test, they will definitely obtain the entry qualification of the Ming officialdom, but if the palace tries to get the emperor's blue eyes, it will be on the fast track, and the future is immeasurable. So they had to pay attention.

Especially for Yang Zirong, he thought that he had failed the exam, and he figured out the wrong emperor's mind, so he was even more nervous about the palace exam.

A few days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day of the third temple test in early March.

As soon as the day dawned, one hundred and two tributes gathered outside the Chang'an Gate, and after a short while, they lined up according to their rankings under the shouting of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and prepared to enter the palace.

After a while, it was already dawn, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites guided them to walk along the royal street, from the Chengtian Gate into the Imperial City, and then through the Duanmen and the Wumen, and through the Fengtian Gate to the square outside the Fengtian Palace.

These tributes are the first time to enter the palace, the first time to see such a majestic, magnificent palace, suddenly feel a royal style rushing to their faces, making them like Grandma Liu who has just entered the Grand View Garden, very nervous and very curious.

Some people were bold enough to look around, but as soon as they saw a guard or a subordinate looking at them, they immediately retracted their gaze.

At this time, Yun Xi had already ascended to the throne in the Fengtian Palace, and with his eyes as high as 5.2 vision, he looked out of the hall.

'This person at the head is Hu Guang? Looks pretty good; The one over there who is in fifth place is Wang Gen, who was loyal to Yun Wei and died in history? ……’

Yun Xi looked at it with interest for a while, and the official of the Ministry of Rites beside him quietly reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time for the Xuangong priest to come forward to pay respects." ”

Yun Xi realized that he had time to watch, and hurriedly said, "Then let's start." ”

After receiving Yun Xi's order, the salute officials and the Gongmen came forward to pay respects.

Hu Guang, as the first in the examination, came forward to pay homage with the greeting of the salute officer; He was still calm, but there were some people who were full of the concept of loyalty to the king and serving the country with tears in their eyes, which made Yun Xi puzzled: "Why are you so excited? ’

However, Yun Xi recorded the rankings of such people one by one. After observation, as long as Yun Xi felt that these people were close to his thoughts, several of them would become the cronies of the Son of Heaven and the future high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty.

After that, the examination was held outside the hall, and one hundred and two tributes were ready in their seats, waiting for the hair rolls. However, after they sat for a while, the test papers were distributed, which surprised those who had been told by their seniors in the province before: Why is it so slow?

Why is it so slow? Because it wasn't until they walked into the palace that Yun Xi finally set the question of the palace exam, and asked the people in the middle school to copy it on the test paper, and only then did he finish copying and distribute the test paper.

But no matter what, the test paper is handed out, and the most important thing is the question. Hu Guang looked down and saw four big characters written on his head: Sect and Domain. There is also an introduction to the number of crosses below.

The topic of the palace exam chosen by Yun Xi this time is the world of the sect. Yun Xi had been fluctuating between the two topics of 'Fanyi no Fu' and 'Zong Fan Tianxia', and it was not until the last moment that the Zong Fan Tianxia was determined as the topic of this exam.

In the past two years since he succeeded to the throne, I don't know how many civil officials have openly and secretly opposed his feudal domain, although there are also a group of people led by Fang Xiaoru who support him, but the number is much smaller than that of those who oppose and neutralize, if it weren't for the fact that they are not united with each other, I am afraid that Yun Xi's policy will be more criticized.

So Yun Xi is anxious to promote some civilian officials who support his strategy, even if it is just pretending to support him.

And Yunxi has another purpose. Of course, there are hidden dangers in the world of the sect, and Yun Xi also expressed his faint concern about this in the introduction, asking them to see if they can have any good suggestions. Of course, those who mistakenly think that Yun Xi regrets the disadvantages of sealing the feudal domain and capitalizing the feudal domain will wait to be the most bitter official for the rest of their lives. One day, Yun Xi is in a bad mood, and maybe he will dismiss your official.

Although Hu Guang didn't fully understand Yun Xi's thoughts, he understood after a little thought that he would definitely write in support of the feudal domain.

Hu Guang thought about it for about a quarter of an hour, and then picked up his pen to write. Most of the others also started writing after a quarter of an hour.

There is one exception, and that is Yang Zirong. Like the trial strategy, Yang Zirong immediately guessed Yun Xi's thoughts, and immediately had a draft in his mind.

But because he thought he would try to guess Yun Hee's wrong idea, he wasn't sure about his guess this time, and he kept wondering if Yun Hee would have other ideas.

But all the preparations he had made before showed that Yoon-hee should have thought like this. After a full three quarters of an hour, Yang Zirong made a heart and wrote.

Yang Zirong's practice of not moving his pen is still very noticeable, and many people look at him, including Yun Xi, who is sitting on the throne and invigilating while handling the twists and turns.

Yun Xi asked the people around him, "Who is this tribute?" ”

Chen Di, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, replied: "Your Majesty, this person's name is Yang Zirong, and he is a Jianren. ”

Yun Xi turned his head to look at Yang Zirong: "He is Yang Zirong?" The strategy of the test is so wonderful, why is the palace test so hesitant? ’

Time flew by, and soon it was noon. The invigilator said that the time for the exam had arrived, and the candidate stopped writing. However, it will not be as strict as the college entrance examination, even if you don't finish it, the invigilator will see that you are still a little short, and you will be allowed to finish it.

Then the tributes returned from a long distance under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

As soon as they left the Chengtian Gate, all the tributes breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with each other. Some people are talking about the majesty of the palace, some people are talking about His Majesty's heroics, and of course, some people are talking about the palace test that has just passed.

Li Guan, who was very nervous, asked Hu Guangdao again: "Brother Guang, the topic this time should be written to support the world of the sect, right?" ”

Hu Guang said: "I think so too, but I'm not sure. ”

Although Hu Guang said that he was not sure, Li Guan still breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Guang's performance in the examination has proved the accuracy of his bet, so since he said that he thinks so, he should write in this direction.

Li Guan, who breathed a sigh of relief, wanted to say something again, but Hu Guang was no longer willing to continue talking about this topic.

Hu Guang said: "We will know the results the day after tomorrow, and it is useless for us to say more now, take a good rest, and wait until the palace test ranking comes out." ”

……

……

Two days later, on the fifth day of the third lunar month, all the candidates gathered outside the Chang'an Gate again, waiting for the release of the palace examination results.

Of course, he was nervous when he was waiting for the rankings to come out, and even Hu Guang, who was particularly indifferent when he tried before, was very nervous. The examination represents the level of the article, and the palace examination represents the emperor's mind!

Friends from the same province got together and talked nonsense. At this time, the more those who have great expectations, the more upset they are and don't know what they are talking about; On the contrary, those who think they are just a top three don't care too much. Of course, I don't care too much or I care a little, at least I can't fall into the last place.

After a while, a group of palace guards came out surrounded by a member of the Zhongshu Academy, and some knowledgeable people shouted: "The gold list is here!" ”

The crowd couldn't help but stop talking and crowded around; Idle people passing by also gathered around to see the excitement.

Yang Shiqi, who came to read the holy decree, looked around and said loudly: "The first place, Wang Gen, Xiji water people." ”
