On April 26 of the second year of Yufeng, hundreds of new tributes gathered in the Taihe Palace, for them, this may be the first time in their lives to see the supreme emperor. According to the usual practice, the palace examination was presided over by the emperor himself, and there were eight officials who read the papers, including two scholars, six ministers, and a prince minister. And in order to show the fairness and solemnity of Enke this time, the eight officials who read the papers are all important ministers of the imperial court, even old ministers like Hai Guanyu are no exception, and the two princes who are in the prison are Prince Feng Wuqing and Prince Feng Wuhou. In this way, the hearts of all the tribute students can't help but be worried, you must know that the palace test is only a question, if you don't have the rules, even if you win the department, you won't have a good ranking.

These tribute students all entered the palace on the first night of the palace examination, and lived in the side hall or the court room of the ministers, and the courtesy was much stronger than that in the tribute court examination. Since the palace test is only related to the top three rankings, and is not screened and eliminated, their pressure is less than that of the township test and the reconciliation test. At this time, in the Taihe Palace, there are more than a dozen rows of low tables displayed in the east and west directions, although the wind has already made a decree and lit a fire candle in the hall, but the light in the hall is still dim. It was easy to wait for the emperor to ascend to the palace, and after the officials and tributes knelt down to pay respects, the officials of the Ministry of Rites issued the test questions. By the time I got back to the place and answered the question, it had already taken a full hour.

Feng Wuxian looked down on these scholars who were busy answering questions from the throne, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile. The so-called imperial examination is precisely to promote the world's talents, as an emperor, all expect to be able to select the talents they value from each subject. He couldn't help but think of Wanlie's twenty-first year of spring, and at that time, he ran into Fan Hengwen and others. Now. No matter what kind of story those three people had, they had already entered the side that could be assisted, and he only hoped that the scholars of the current branch would also be able to use a few. In this way, some new voices can appear in the court.

Where did the Gongsheng below know the emperor's intentions. The low tables in front of them were only about a foot high, and the 2,000-word questions had to be written cross-legged for at least a day, so they couldn't help but have a sore waist and legs, and a dizzy head. However, it is necessary to submit the papers before sunset. Therefore, no one dares to slack off, as long as they can persevere to the end, they can get a fellow jinshi even if they are not good, and they are always worthy of ten years of hard work.

After the eight paper readers collected all the answer sheets sealed by Gongsheng, a group of people gathered in the court room to laugh. Although most of them came from the imperial examination, there were still many noble children among them, so they were relieved of this trouble. And Prince Feng Wuqing and Prince Feng Wuhou were even more curious, and the two of them listened to Ma Fengchu talking about some famous allusions over there.

"The two princes, my lords, you also know. Although the reader is the first pretentious person in the world, when he encounters the imperial examination, it is different. From the provincial and township examinations to the general examinations. Those who were entrained, cheated, and I don't know how many people were expelled from the examination room. I'm also getting stricter and stricter about the search, and it's not enough to untie your clothes. Often even the hair and ears are also searched completely. Although it is an insult to Sven, there is really no way to do it, even so, there are still people who don't know how to clean themselves and love themselves, ruining the future of their lives. Ma Fengchu shook his head and read a passage again:

"Eight strands, three sets, show talent set, tribute courtyard stopper. More than 9,000 were pressed, and there was no light of day. The line is in the north and turns west, and goes straight to the literary field. One director, each on guard. The first artillery police, the second artillery opened the pavilion, listened to the pager, and competed for the first time. Each holds the test kit and lays out the formation tightly. Crowded, crowded, stool foot basket, suddenly I don't know why people fell. ”

As soon as this paragraph came out, a group of well-educated Confucians were all stunned, and it took a long time for them to burst out laughing. Yue Qianfan smiled so much that he leaned forward and back, and could barely straighten his waist, "It's really difficult to write this story in imitation of "A Fang Gong Fu" for this move, and his mind is quite smart." Why, did this person be lifted later? ”

Ma Fengchu shook his head and said: "This person is a lazy character, when he saw the crowded appearance, he fled back early, and said in a beautiful name, life is important, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go to this exam, he later became a businessman, and he actually accumulated tens of thousands of family wealth." Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and those who had a heart couldn't help but sigh, only Yue Qianfan remembered the prosperity of his family, and couldn't help but smile.

After a while of laughter, they looked at the tall volumes on the desk, and couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly. These must be read within three days, not only according to the fifth evaluation, but also comprehensive and re-evaluated. Thinking of the repeated changes in Enke this time, they were all palpitating for a while, but fortunately, the turmoil had subsided for the time being, otherwise they would really not be in the mood for this marking.

Feng Wuhou and Feng Wuqing are just carrying the name of the prison field, and they feel relaxed after handing over the errand. Although the two of them had a very deep mustard back then, they are now the emperor's brothers, so their faces are already as good as glue, and the idlers will never be able to see their previous festivals. When they were about to leave the palace, the two of them saw that Wang Feng of Jiajun was unharmed, and they were both stunned.

Jiajun Wang Feng Wushu naturally entered the palace to ask to see the emperor, and seeing that Feng Wuhou was waiting for the Holy Grace to be long, his heart became lively. The so-called ambition is just wishful thinking back then, who will always be obsessed with that little thing, the lessons of the wind and the wind are still there, and he has already collected his thoughts. Instead of putting his life into it, it is better to be a good emperor and a prince who is both rich and powerful. However, when he met Feng Wuhou and Feng Wuqing here, he immediately thought of the two of them before and his face was a little uncomfortable.

"Fourth brother, sixth brother, little brother is here to say hello to the two of you!" Feng Wuxian changed his face with a smile on his face in an instant, and took a few steps to meet him.

Feng Wuqing said hello with a smile, but Feng Wuhou was not so serious, patted Feng Wuqing's shoulder and said, "It's already so late, you still want to enter the palace to face the saint?" Today, the emperor presided over the palace examination, maybe he is tired, and you are a little uninteresting when you ask to see him at this time. In my opinion, if you don't go in again tomorrow, it's a big deal that I will drag the sixth brother to accompany you. You know, now the sixth brother is a celebrity in front of the emperor, with him, it's convenient for you to speak, isn't it? ”

Feng Wuxian came to try it this time, and when he heard Feng Wuhou's words, he immediately changed his mind, and immediately salivated and said to the two of them: "Thank you Fourth Brother for mentioning something, otherwise, this time it will not be counted as a closed door, but you will have to eat a meal." Sixth brother, I ask to see the emperor tomorrow, you have to help me, we are brothers to each other, if you don't carry it, I, the little county king, will really have to be idle in the palace. ”

Feng Wuqing didn't expect the other party to hit the snake with the stick like this, and he felt inappropriate to refuse, so he had to laugh and scold and agree. The three of them had nothing to do for a while, so they met to drink in the palace where the wind was not waiting, and everyone knew that this female music in the prince's mansion was famous. However, at this time, it was still during the three-year mourning of the first emperor, so they did not dare to make too many times, otherwise they would not only violate their son's filial piety, but also lose the courtesy of their ministers.

In the court room over there, Hai Guanyu rested first under the persuasion of everyone. His body is now extremely weak, and he is just holding himself on weekdays, but fortunately, the emperor and the ministers did not dare to tire this old minister, so he could barely cope with it. Ma Fengchu and the others naturally cheered up to look at the stacks of volumes, and discussed a few words from time to time.

When it was time to arrive, the originally closed room was suddenly pushed open, and a figure wearing a bright yellow cloak appeared in front of everyone. At this time and now, it is natural that the only emperor who dares to wear this kind of clothing to break into the important place of reading the papers, so the officials who read the papers were busy kneeling and saluting, but they were stopped by Feng Wuxian with gestures. He saw that Haiguanyu in the next room was sleeping very deeply, so he motioned to Xiao Fangzi to gently close the door, and then walked to the pile of papers, and asked with a smile: "Although it is the first night to read the papers, but you are all old people who have gone through this way, but did you find that Enke has any talents who have entered the eyes of the law this time?" ”

Ma Fengchu couldn't help laughing and said: "The emperor is too anxious, just those people who have transcribed the seal before have spent a lot of effort, and the ministers have just made a start." However, this time it is a grand event in Enke, and it is sure that he will be able to win the talents, and the emperor just has to wait for the good news. Since he, the Ministry of Rites, had spoken, and the others had also bowed their heads, which made Feng Wuxian feel helpless.

"I'm just here to walk around, and look at you as if I don't want to stay here for long. Okay, okay, I know your hard work, and I will ask the imperial dining room to send a few bowls of ginseng soup and bird's nest later, so that people will not say that I am not sympathetic to the courtiers. As he spoke, he lifted his feet and walked out, but he continued to instruct, "The major events of the imperial examination are related to the future of the scholar's life, and you must judge it carefully, so as not to cause criticism from others." You are all my trusted courtiers, and I will leave this Enke matter to you! ”

A group of courtiers hurriedly sent the emperor out, and after Ma Fengchu got up, he closed the door with his own hands. He was the chief examiner of the previous examination, and at this time, seeing the emperor's solemn attitude, he had to smile bitterly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor attaches so much importance to this matter, it seems that we have to work harder, and we must not miss the excellent papers." Choose more good ones horizontally and vertically, and then the emperor will appoint the top three, and there will be no more suspense. ”

Yue Qianfan and the others also nodded yes, recalling the emperor's attitude of being talented, where they couldn't see it. Most of the important ministers in the court are the courtiers left over from the previous emperor, although the people who are now in high positions are people who can be trusted by the emperor, but after all, they are not as easy to command as those protégés of the Son of Heaven. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, they have been in the officialdom for many years, how can they not understand these truths. Just looking at the emperor's repeated promotion of young talents, they understood the king's heart. Hengzhi took the scholar this time, and no one of them was in the way, how could they produce a veritable Jinshi. Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 39 Palace Examination
