Qiu Tongmian squatted in the thatched house, and couldn't wait to start looking through his phone, and the phone prompted.

The host will get a good second place in the exam, and the personal achievement will increase by 2000, and the total number of host adults is 2300.

Qiu Tong said in his heart, how long has it been, I will try to take the second place before I give 2000, if the first place I don't know how much to give. There are still 700 achievements left to the task, Qiu Tongmian thought of the palace test, and whether this mandatory task can be completed can only depend on the palace test.

At noon, everyone gathered together, but Yang Xuezheng did not return to the house, Qiu Tongmian deadlifted Steward Lin and also went to the table, and after three rounds of drinking, Jia Ergongzi said with envy.

"Brother Xiao is really a blockbuster, but I envy your brother and me, I thought I had to win a tribute, and I wanted to come to your house to show off, but I didn't want to be hit by you instead."

Qiu Tongmian saw that Jia Ergongzi was a little drunk, took the wine glass in his hand and said, "Jia Er, it's not me talking about you, these are not the point, the point is that we will definitely be officials in the same dynasty in the future, you and I will be brothers, and we will definitely share the same hatred." “

Jia Ergongzi said, "That's a must, the palace exam will be in a few days, the first three years were the auxiliary minister Soni on behalf of the question, and now the emperor has been in power for so long, I'm afraid that this time he will personally come up with the question." ”

Qiu Tongmian shook his head and said, "Isn't it better for the emperor to come up with the question, the emperor must come up to determine the ranking, if you don't win, you will feel comfortable thinking about it." ”

Before leaving, Qiu Tongmian took out the handkerchief of his boudoir name that he asked for from Xu Yingying last night, and smiled at Jia Ergongzi, "I'm afraid this handkerchief is five hundred taels less, if you don't want it, I will pay you back a thousand, if you want it, I will give you a thousand taels, how about it?" ”

Jia Ergongzi looked at the handkerchief and took it, asked the fragrance and said, "The name is good, the word is good," Qiu Tongmian interjected, "People are good!" ”

Jia Ergongzi looked at Qiu Tongdao and smiled, "Brother Xiao temporarily raised the price, I'm afraid he doesn't want to give it to me." ”

Qiu Tongmian said, "You are pretending to be drunk, I want to ask for it again." ”

Hearing Xiao Jin say this, he probably understood the meaning, and gave Qiu Tongmian a dao, "I don't lack silver, what I lack is this friendship of Brother Xiao, whether you tell the truth or not, I don't want this handkerchief, and I will return it to you." ”

Before going out, Jia Ergongzi said to Qiu Tongmian, "If you want to bring her anything, let me know, and I will bring it for you." ”

Qiu Tongmian wondered, "What can you do?" Do you want to keep spending money? ”

Jia Ergongzi waved goodbye with his hand, "I have my own way." ”

Qiu Tongmian put away his handkerchief, looked at the distant Jia Ergongzi, and said secretly, this kid thought he was a simple-minded person, I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems, as long as he has no ill will towards me, but it is worth making a deep friendship, but he probably doesn't know about Xue Lingyun yet, if I don't appear, Xue Lingyun's ending will definitely be different.

On the first day of the first month of April, it rained heavily, outside Tiananmen Square, and the emperor changed the test site of the palace to the Taihe Palace.

Qiu Tongmian accompanied Jia Ergongzi to the Taihe Palace, but the Forbidden City at this time was not the same as the later generations, Qiu Tongmian looked at many palaces, but did not recognize one. The location of the palace test was originally outside Tiananmen Square, and I didn't want it to rain heavily, so the emperor sent a decree and changed it to Taihe Palace.

Because the palace examination was presided over by the emperor himself, there was no examiner, only a paper reader. It was filled by two scholars and six ministers of various ministries.

The palace examination is only one examination and the paper is handed in on the same day. Most of the examination questions are prepared by the examiner on the day before the palace examination, so as to be approved. Sometimes, it was also the emperor himself who drew up the test questions. During the palace examination, the king and the minister were sent to supervise the examination, and four other imperial historians participated in the supervision examination.

Qiu Tongmian was a little nervous, not because he saw the emperor, but because of this atmosphere, before they entered the exam, they were all called by the Ministry of Rites, and explained some etiquette and speaking rules before the monarch.

Emperor Kangxi, Qiu Tongmian only saw it once, and then disappeared.

After the test paper was issued, I saw that the topic was, discussing the recovery of Taiwan Island.

Qiu Tongmian took the title and thought, isn't this what Kangxi did in middle age, this is only the twelfth year of Kangxi, if I remember correctly, it should be the twenty-second year of Kangxi, Shi Lang recovered Taiwan. At such an early stage, how to have any hope of victory, I am afraid that the ministers present will not agree.

You must know that the Qing Dynasty was founded only a few decades ago, relying on horseback to take the world, when the Ming army sailors all went to Taiwan, but the Qing army fell into the embarrassing situation of not crossing the sea without a ship. Why did the Zheng family not surrender for so long, it was because of the sharp weapons of the sailors, and the Qing army could not defeat the Taiwan Strait.

Thinking about the theory of withdrawing the feudal domain written during the last meeting, Kangxi himself knew that the immediate priority was to solve the internal trouble, not Taiwan. What is the purpose of this? ”

Thinking of this, he looked up and looked for Kangxi on the dragon chair, but he still didn't see anyone.

When I lifted the pen, I had an idea in my heart.

It wasn't until the evening that the exam ended, because it was only one day, so the adults who invigilated the exam, but did not urge the candidates, and waited for the people to leave almost, before they came to ask how long it would take, and generally did not wait for anyone to ask, they would take the initiative to hand in the papers.

After Qiu Tongmian finished writing, he handed in the test papers, and saw that Jia Ergongzi was no longer there, so he followed the officials of the First Rite Department and went out of the Taihe Palace.

In the early morning of the next day, all the candidates came to the Taihe Hall again, but this time it was the same as the Great Dynasty Meeting, the civil and military officials gathered, stood one by one according to the grade, divided into two rows of civil and military officials, and divided into Manchu and Han, standing separately.

When Qiu Tongmian was waiting in the wing room to be recruited, he saw many ministers standing outside the gate of the Taihe Palace. Ignoring where Jia Ergongzi was and the braggart of the students, he looked at the ministers kneeling outside the gate of the Taihe Hall and thought, this official is in charge, there are so many people, if this is the emperor's lecture, what should the outside not hear.

After a long time, a eunuch arrived and passed the emperor's spoken words, "The palace examination candidates Taihe Hall will see you." ”

After everyone heard this, they consciously lined up in a long line according to the ranking of the examination, and more than 50 people walked very spectacularly.

In the main hall, all the students kowtowed and shouted long live under the leadership of Yuan Hanyan, the meeting meeting.

The emperor said, "All the students have been in their lives. ”

Kangxi stepped down from the dragon chair, came to the candidates, and looked at them one by one.

"You are all rare talents in the Qing Dynasty, and today is the day of the release of the list, so you must be in a hurry."

"Previously, I discussed with all the secretaries of the family about how to recover Taiwan for this exam."

"I have been a country in the Qing Dynasty for more than 60 years, and I have experienced a hundred battles, conquered everything, and surrendered everything. But this Taiwan has never been able to take it. ”

Kangxi prepared his hand, passed by Qiu Tongmian, and stared at him with a humane person, "I also want to take Taiwan, so that I can give an explanation to the people of dawn in the world in my lifetime." ”

Qiu Tong was numb by Kangxi, lowered his head, and avoided Kangxi's eyes.

Kangxi walked back to the dragon chair and looked down at the civil and military officials, "It's a pity, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, there's nothing to be ashamed of, this is a fact, what is a fact?" Kangxi raised his voice and said, "The test paper in my hand is the truth. After speaking, he picked up the test paper handed over by the eunuch and said, "Fifty-five tributes, but there is only one such test paper, and he is the only one who writes like this, I can guess that he must have been very uneasy when he wrote, for fear that I would be displeased when I read it, but he just wrote it." “

"He is the only one who writes that there is no possibility of winning the recovery of Taiwan at present, and he can only waste our wealth and food and sacrifice fearless soldiers in vain."

"It's not about how to give advice, how to use soldiers."

"Ladies and gentlemen, you may have really schemed and scheming, but at the moment I see you, I have not seen your wisdom and prowess. What I want now is to tell the truth, and what I want is for you to be sincere to me. ”

The more Kangxi said the back, the more excited he became, his voice was loud, and the entire Taihe Hall could be heard clearly. Qiu Tongmian, who was standing below, heard the test paper mentioned by Kangxi before, and he was sweating, but he didn't expect the peak to turn around.

After Kangxi finished speaking, he sat down and glanced at the civil and military ministers below, and the entire Taihe Hall was silent.

"Do you have any objections to me?" He took the scroll and gave it to the deacon and eunuch, and instructed, "Circulate it to all the ministers one by one." The eunuch replied.

In the past long time, I didn't wait for the petty officials outside the door to finish reading the test papers, and among the Manchurian officials, Suke Saha, who was standing in the first place, came out and said, "Emperor Shengming, this volume is exactly what Weichen thinks in his heart." With the first, there was the second, and the first to start were Manchu officials, and then Han Chinese officials also joined the ranks.

In the voice of the emperor, Kangxi got up and said, "Since everyone's meaning is the same as mine." ”

"Xiao Tongjin"

"The little people are here." Qiu Tongmian heard the emperor calling him, and came back to the road.

"Give the Kwai Chouke Hall to try a champion, Xiao Tongjin, give the Jinshi and the first,

"Han Yan"

"The Little People Are Here"

Ci Kwai Chou Ke Hall tried a first-class list eye, Han Yan, Ci Jin Shi and the first,

"Deer Cold"

Give the Kwai Chouke Hall to try a first-class list, give the Jinshi and the first,

The remaining two and three are given the Jinshi background, and those who do not win the middle are given the same Jinshi background.

Except for the first three, after everyone heard it, "I will thank the emperor for his grace." ”

After speaking, the eunuch instructed the little eunuch to take out the Dan book, send it to everyone, and then retreat.

Qiu Tongmian didn't expect it to end so soon, Jia Ergongzi stepped forward to say hello, but was squeezed aside by others, only to see groups of officials coming up to congratulate, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Duozhe, also came, and said to Qiu Tongmian, "Tongjin is a good literary talent, are the three of you ready to go to the street?" If you go, I will have someone prepare a guard of honor to open the way for the three of you. ”

Without waiting for Qiu Tongmian to speak, Han Yan hurriedly said, "This is not necessary, right?" "I feel that I will try to be the yuan, and I am now on the list, and I have been left out in the cold.

Suo Etu stepped forward and smiled, "Why not, this is my usual practice, there is no need to be modest" After speaking, he glanced at Duo Ze and said, "Why don't you go and let someone prepare a horse to get a big red flower." ”

Qiu Tongmian was actually unwilling, his mobile phone kept vibrating around his waist, and what he wanted to do most now was to find a place where no one was looking at his phone.
