In the end, Cai Jing did not come to the apse to see Zhao Ji on the grounds that he was old and his behavior would go beyond the bounds.

However, Cai Jing still knew Zhao Ji's thoughts very well, and asked his son Cai Chong to ghostwrite, record his thoughts in the book, and Cai Cheng brought them back.

Cai Jing's suggestion is very clear, Qian Heng is indeed not suitable for Xu to be the champion, and Cai Jing also gave Zhao Ji a very high-sounding reason.

As for what Cai Jing's private thoughts are, it is not for Zhao Ji to consider.

With Cai Jing's suggestion, Qian Heng's ranking, Zhao Ji also decided.

As for how to arrange Qian Heng's official position, Cai Jing also focused on supporting Tong Guan's suggestion, but Zhao Ji did not express his position.

The ten students who guaranteed Feng Yu were not only fined for six years not to participate in the scientific examination, but also confiscated a large fine, of course, this fine also went into Zhao Ji's royal private treasury.

The day of the palace test has finally arrived, and Qian Heng has nothing to prepare, because of the cultivation of the Five Fowl Opera, Qian Heng's physical physique is very good, and his injured arm has almost recovered.

However, when he went to the palace to meet the official family this time, Qian Heng did not remove the splint on his arm, so he went to the hall with one arm.

More than 100 candidates who had obtained the qualification of tribute students stood in front of the hall, and Chen Kangbo saw Qian Heng and approached.

"Lord Qian, congratulations to high school!"

"Thank you Brother Changqing, Brother Changqing's scientific examination results this time are also good, and he will definitely be the top in high school!"

Qian Heng also pretended to say a few words.

Chen Kangbo bowed slightly, "Then I have to thank Lord Qian for his kind words first!" ”

Among the candidates waiting for the palace examination, Qian Heng is the only one who is called an adult.

Everyone's eyes swept towards Qian Heng, Qian Heng's face was unwavering, but he didn't like this feeling of being noticed in his heart.

Not long after waiting for the scene, I heard a loud shout, announcing that all the tribute students entered the temple to face the saint.

Qian Heng had seen Zhao Ji, and when he came in, he also deliberately raised his eyes to look at Zhao Ji who was sitting at the top, so he lowered his head and followed the other candidates, standing on both sides of the hall in turn.

In the main hall, in addition to these candidates, there should also be some high-ranking and powerful ministers, on both sides of the high seats.

The normal palace exam requires a test of questions.

However, Zhao Ji didn't want to bother with those thoughts, and the last policy question was also the test question to be asked in his palace exam.

Zhao Ji will not ask all the candidates once, only pick the answer sheet he is interested in, and ask questions in turn according to the name on the exam paper.

There are less than ten of the policy papers selected by Zhao Ji.

The names of Qian Heng and Chen Kangbo are also among them, and the answers of the previous candidates are similar, they are all chasing how good Taoism is, it is nothing more than some flattery, but at least Zhao Ji sounds very comfortable, so the results of these candidates are recognized in Zhao Ji's eyes.

When asked about Chen Kangbo, Qian Heng listened carefully, but he didn't expect that Chen Kangbo did have some insight, at least under the topic of "the king does nothing and the minister does something", Chen Kangbo said some strategies for the minister, although it is not easy to realize the strategy of the minister, but at least Chen Kangbo's intentions are right, and he is also deeply appreciated by Zhao Ji.

After listening to Chen Kangbo's answer, Zhao Ji nodded, "The strategy proposed by Changqing is good, I am very relieved, I should be rewarded!" ”

When Zhao Ji said this, all the candidates of the e-commerce company were shocked, and anyone could hear that Chen Kangbo was deeply appreciated by the officials, so the top position of the champion was decided.

However, some people saw that Qian Heng hadn't answered yet, so they still had expectations.

In the end, Qian Heng followed Chen Kangbo forward to answer.

In fact, strictly speaking, it was Qian Heng's answer sheet, which won Zhao Ji's love even more, but with the advice of Tong Guan and Cai Jing, Zhao Ji deliberately showed a relatively indifferent expression.

"Hengyuan, can you explain in detail what you said?"

Qian Heng stepped forward and didn't say much, just explained a little according to the meaning of the volume, and the answer was not deep or shallow, only the most secure answer.

After listening to Qian Heng's answer, Zhao Ji felt a little more average, but for Zhao Ji, Qian Heng's answer was not wrong.

After listening to Qian Heng's final answer, Zhao Ji nodded, "That's it, then, let's announce the exam ranking!" ”

In fact, the ranking has been decided long before everyone enters the temple, but it is just necessary to confirm that these people's answers are not made by the hands of dummies.

The rankings of other candidates were not announced in the palace, but people rushed to Donghua Gate with the imperial list to announce the world.

But the top three rankings of the first class were directly announced by Wang who was standing aside.

The candidate who got the Tanhua, Qian Heng had never heard of the name.

And immediately afterwards, Qian Heng's name was announced, and he won the first rank.

Qian Heng smiled secretly, in fact, this list is not bad.

The champion who was finally announced, as expected, was Chen Kangbo, who was highly appreciated by the official family just now.

On the contrary, it was Chen Kangbo, who was a little surprised that he was able to win the top prize.

Chen Kangbo, Qian Heng, and the candidate who won the third place in the first class wept with joy, thanked the official family for their love in unison.

Finally, it was announced that all the new science and technology scholars would be given a banquet.

Jinshi and the first, and the second class of Jinshi, plus the third class of the same Jinshi background, a total of more than 160 people, all arranged to the garden of the palace back garden, to taste the royal banquet.

The banquet was rich enough, and the wine used was all the second pot head of Qian Hengding's sales line.

At the banquet, Zhao Ji only had a drink with many new science and technology scholars on the floor, and then turned around and left.

However, before leaving, Wang Pingzhong quietly came to Qian Heng's side, "Brother Hengyuan, congratulations, the official family is invited!" ”

Qian Heng was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "This, I haven't eaten a few bites yet, I'm hungry!" ”

Wang Pingzhong grinned, "Brother, the official family invited you over, of course it won't make you hungry, but it's the official's private banquet over there, can you go?" ”

Wang Pingzhong was also speechless, Qian Heng would actually think about the so-called food at the Qionglin banquet.

Since the banquet of this new science and technology scholar was not in Qionglin, the grade has been lowered by more than one level compared with the beginning, and the expenses saved have naturally been invested in Zhao Ji's construction of the garden.

Now he actually wants to set up a private banquet to invite Qian Heng, which makes Qian Heng a little surprised.

followed Wang Pingzhong to the pavilion outside a side hall in the back garden, Zhao Ji was sitting on the stone pier covered with embroidered brocade mats, looking at Qian Heng who was approaching happily.

"Hengyuan, you have won the ranking of this list, are you still satisfied?"

Zhao Ji's question made Qian Heng speechless for a while, how to answer this?

You set the rankings, and now ask me if I'm satisfied, can I regret it?

Of course, Qian Heng would not be stupid enough to ask directly, but just bowed down and thanked him again.

Zhao Ji waved his hand, "Okay, sit down, I want to listen to the strategy you talked about, I know that you don't want to talk more in the palace, now you and I, the monarch and the minister, can you say your thoughts?" ”
