The students entered the hall, and after paying homage, they sat cross-legged behind the low table under the leadership of the eunuch.

Xue Juzheng led the task to completion, walked to the first vacant seat under Zhao Pu and sat down.

Taiping rejuvenated the country for five years, and the palace test was the beginning.

Zhao Guangyi raised his pen and wrote down two big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

Wang Jien picked up the character from the dragon case and walked around the inner ring of the hall, so that all the students could see clearly what the two big characters on the paper were.

On politics!

This is the topic of this temple examination.

The two words are like two ink plums rendered on paper.

Yang Yansi knows this kind of word, and its name is Plum Blossom Small Seal.

Zhao Guangyi likes calligraphy and is also good at calligraphy, so his skills are very strong, and the words he writes are also beautiful.

It's just that these two words put a lot of pressure on the students present.

It's a big topic.

There are many decrees of the Great Song Dynasty, and which one will poke the weakness in the emperor's heart, which is a question worth thinking about.

The students scratched their ears and cheeks, looked left and right, and looked forward to it, and there were also people who were in their chests.

For example, Su Yijian, who was sitting in the first place, clasped his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then began to wave his pen, not even meaning to type a draft.

Yang Yansi saw this topic and thought about it a little.

He took the pen and wrote three words on the manuscript paper on the desk.

"On the ...... of Border Politics"

He himself is from Jiangmen, and his father Yang Ye is also the guard of Yanmen Pass, and the most common thing he hears and sees on weekdays is about the Song Liao border pass.

Combined with some of the actual situation of the Song-Liao border that he heard from Yang Ye's mouth, plus some of his own understanding, he wrote it in the form of classical Chinese.

The general regulations of the temple examination are basically more than 3,000 words.

Therefore, it takes nearly two and a half hours, which is equivalent to five hours, to review the problem, conceive, solve the problem, write, and transcribe.

The students began to write articles, and the six books of Shangshu also began to look at the whispers of the students.

The three prime ministers, who are very old, close their eyes and pretend to sleep.

Zhao Guangyi was not idle, and casually took out a book from the dragon case and read it.

Time is ticking forward.

About an hour later, the sun had risen in the east, and it was time for breakfast.

Zhao Guangyi put down the book in his hand and instructed Wang Jien to start the meal.

The books on the dragon case were quickly taken down, but a delicious meal was served.

The three Xiangye and the six Shangshu also had a table in front of them, and they also put on the delicacies.

Naturally, the students also ate it, because it was a manifestation of the emperor's kindness.

It's just that they don't have the same treatment as the three Xiangye and the six scholars.

The eunuchs gave them only some pastries and a pot of water.

Even so, some students were moved to cry bitterly, make a big salute, and knelt on the ground to thank Emperor Longen.

Yang Yansi felt that this was a shameful behavior, from ancient times to the present, people's waists have become more and more bent, and their knees have become softer and softer, and they have been victimized by this bad habit.

It is precisely because there are some sycophants who shamelessly lower the bottom line of being a man. It led to the monarch and the ministers sitting and discussing politics, which developed into the monarch sitting on the ministers and standing and discussing the government, and in the end, it became the monarch sitting on the high and the ministers kneeling to discuss politics.

Yang Yansi didn't have the heart to kneel for the emperor.

After thanking the emperor for his kindness, he grabbed the pastry and ate two bites. Then I poured a pot of water, felt the hunger in my stomach disappear, and continued to write articles.

After breakfast, Zhao Guangyi instructed the eunuchs to clean up the mess.

Jing Ji thought about it, and he accompanied Zhao Pu, Shen Lun and Xue Juzheng and began to take turns to inspect the main hall.

Zhao Pu had a clear goal and came to Yang Yansi's side as soon as possible.

After looking at the article on Yang Yansi's draft, he didn't speak, but shook his head and left.

Xue Juzheng turned around for half a circle and also came to Yang Yansi.

After carefully looking at Yang Yansi's scroll, Xue Juzheng nodded and left quietly.

After a while, Shen Lun, who had turned around, also came over, and he wanted to see if his disciple's articles had grown.

Yang Yansi's article has been written in general, and although the rhetoric is not gorgeous, it does have something to say.

Shen Lun looked at Yang Yansi's scroll, nodded for a while, and shook his head for a while.

Before leaving, he let out a long sigh.

Yang Yansi originally felt that his article was not bad.

The three performances of these three old men suddenly made Yang Yansi's heart weak.

In the end, Zhao Guangyi also came to Yang Yansi's side and began to watch Yang Yansi's scrolls.

Yang Yansi didn't have much awe for Zhao Guangyi, so even if Zhao Guangyi was standing by his side, he didn't have any fear. I still write articles in my own way.

Zhao Guangyi looked at it for a while, and was just about to make a speech.

saw that Su Yijian, who was sitting in the lead position, stood up suddenly and applied to hand in the papers.

Someone handed in the papers, and Zhao Guangyi naturally couldn't continue to wander around.

returned to the dragon case and asked Wang Jien to present Su Yijian's volume.

Zhao Guangyi carefully reviewed.

Su Yijian's article is very well written, and Zhao Guangyi also reads it carefully.

After a while, Zhao Guangyi stroked the dragon's beard and laughed, "Three thousand words, one wave, the wonderful pen is full of flowers, and the article is natural." ”

Zhao Guangyi looked at Su Yijian, who was standing with him, and did not hide the appreciation in his eyes.

"Monarchs and Ministers Meet ...... for a Thousand Years" (not made up by the author, historical facts)

Zhao Guangyi drew a circle on the scroll with a hook of his pen and handed it to Zhao Pu and others for circulation.

After Zhao Pu and the others circulated it, they nodded frequently.

By the time the scroll returned to the dragon case, there were already nine more laps.

Su Yijian submitted the paper ahead of schedule and won the first place, and the students below were also anxious, and some students were in a hurry and began to make frequent mistakes.

Someone was in a hurry and left a large ink spot directly on the scroll.

Looking at the ink dots on the scroll, the student felt the urge to cry.

Yang Yansi was not affected, his article was finished, and he began to copy it.

While he was copying, some students began to hand in papers one after another.

However, in these volumes, there were not many that satisfied Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Guangyi did not express the same appreciation as just now.

Among them, the most laps are only six.

"Huazhou Kou Zhun?"

It was the official secretary who spoke, and the official secretary pinched Kou Zhun's scroll, looked at the nine circles on it, frowned and asked.

Kou Zhun stood bent down, heard the question of the official secretary, first saluted Zhao Guangyi, and then bowed to the official ministry.

"The student is Kou Zhun."

The official Shangshu looked at Kou Zhun's immature face, frowned, and said: "This official looks at your face, it doesn't look like you're nineteen years old, you look like a fifteen-year-old child......"

Tobe Shangshu took a closer look at Kou Zhun's face, and agreed: "The official didn't look at it carefully just now, but now that I look closely, I really look like a fifteen-year-old child......"

Zhao Guangyi on the dragon chair frowned.

"Huazhou Kou Zhun, have you lied about your age?"
