In the evening, after Li Kang came back, he also carefully told his son, after all, Li Kang is also an old driver, although in that palace examination, he failed to win the Jinshi and the first, but he was also given a fellow Jinshi by the emperor, so he still has some experience in the palace examination. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Xiang went to bed early, with a super 3D printer in his body, he was confident, not to mention that for this palace examination, he also prepared a five-year plan for the Zhongxing Great Song Dynasty, including the development of economic, cultural and military countermeasures, because he knew that in the palace examination, there would definitely be this question, and what the emperor needed most was the talent who could govern the country.

In the fourth year of Baoyou in the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, in 1256 A.D., on the morning of the eighteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, at two o'clock, the largest palace in the Southern Song Dynasty Palace, the orchestral silk and bamboo in the hall of the Ying Palace, the Southern Song Dynasty civil and military officials who were waiting outside the palace entered the palace in turn, and were divided into two sides; The silk and bamboo sounded again, and more than 300 lifters walked into the Jiying Hall in turn, standing among the hundred officials. The music sounded three times, and Emperor Lizong, who was dressed in a dragon robe, walked into the Jiying Hall surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, and went straight to the throne behind the Ming Huanglong case, and accepted the three kneeling and nine knocks of the civil and military officials and the Jinshi, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Zhong Aiqing, flat." Zhao Yun gave an order, and the answer of the landslide and tsunami immediately sounded in the Jiying Palace, "Long live Xie." After the hundred officials and more than 300 people stood up, Emperor Lizong nodded to Li Boyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"Candidates are seated." Li Boyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and came to the middle to drink. More than 300 lifters sat in front of the examination table that had already been prepared in the middle of the Jiying Hall in order of ranking. The civil and military officials stood on both sides, and the top one on the right was the right prime minister Ding Daquan, and when more than 300 people sat down, Li Boyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, once again raised his voice and shouted: "Please propose!" ”

The officials of the Ministry of Rites carried a gold plate covered with bright yellow brocade to Emperor Lizong and knelt down in front of him. Holding the gold plate containing pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of Emperor Lizong, Emperor Lizong picked up the pen and randomly checked two questions among the pre-prepared test questions, and then the officials of the Ministry of Rites handed the exam paper to Li Boyu, who announced the test questions in public.

After Li Boyu announced the test questions, the examiners immediately sent the corresponding test papers to the candidates, as soon as the test papers arrived, the candidates began to think about how to answer the questions, and soon the hall sounded a rustle of brushes and rice paper, Li Boyu and other examiners also began to turn around in the examination room, while other officials stood on both sides and whispered, and some officials even went out of the hall under the excuse of going to the toilet.

Emperor Lizong turned his gaze to Li Xiang and nodded as he watched.

Because Li Xiang seems to be confident and writes like a god, it seems that this topic did not stump him.

Then he turned the emperor's gaze to Wen Yunsun, who was the first in the proctoring examination, and then asked Ding Daquan next to him: "Ding Aiqing, what do you think of Wen Yunsun, the first place in the proctoring examination." ”

Ding Daquan set his eyes on Wen Yunsun, and after looking at it for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, the appearance of the first place in this country is not bad, but it looks too honest, and the family background is not very good, Weichen is afraid that the princess will not like it." ”

Emperor Lizong asked again, "What about the third Li Xiang?" “

Ding Daquan looked at it and said: "This young man looks good, but he has been in the limelight too much recently, I'm afraid it's not suitable for the princess!" ”

"Well, that's right." Emperor Lizong also nodded and said, pondered for a while and said: "If that Wenyun Sun wins the champion, it is not bad, you can let him be a concubine, although the family background is a little worse, but it is good to be honest, at least he will not bully the princess in the future." ”

Emperor Lizong also thought about it for a long time, if Li Xiang was allowed to marry the princess, then Li Xiang would no longer be able to do those things, that is, he would not be able to grant a real position, and he would not be able to make full use of him to contribute to the Great Song Dynasty. That's why Emperor Lizong wanted to choose other talents, and it was best to be the champion as a concubine.

Of course, although Emperor Lizong knew that the princess had a good impression of Li Xiang, it was related to national affairs, so he had to wronged the princess.

Hearing what the emperor said, Na Ding Daquan immediately patted his ass and said, "What the emperor said is true." ”

At this time, two people suddenly walked out of the apse of Jiying Palace, it was Princess Ruiguo and Concubine Yan Guifei. The civil and military officials present turned their eyes to the two of them, and Emperor Lizong was also taken aback, and asked in a low voice as low as possible: "The National Talent Ceremony is being held here, why are you here?"

"Father, because it is a national talent ceremony, the sons also want to come and see the future pillars of the Great Song Dynasty." The little princess saluted the emperor, and answered in a low voice while peeking at the candidates for the exam below, of course she just wanted to see Li Xiang.

"Forget it, there is no rule in the palace test that you are not allowed to watch, the emperor should sit next to me." Emperor Lizong is having a headache about how to choose a horse for his daughter, and now it's just right for her to choose by herself, of course, if it is Li Xiang, it will not work.

The little princess and Yan Guifei sat down beside the emperor one by one, and the little princess swept her eyes to the candidates below, and finally fell on Li Xiang, and smiled faintly when she saw that she was confidently answering the questions.

Li Xiang, who was sitting below answering the question, saw the turn of Baiguanmen's gaze, and also looked over, and was really taken aback when he saw the princess and the concubine coming in, it seems that the princess is really too concerned about herself, and she even wants to come to see the palace exam herself.

"Emperor, what do you think of the one on the right, he is Wen Yunsun, the first place in the Guozi Supervision Examination, and he looks good." Emperor Lizong said to his daughter.

The little princess raised her head and glanced at Wen Yunsun, and said sullenly: "Father, where is that person good, he looks like wood, and he seems to be a little older!" ”

"Huang'er, you are old, be honest, be stable enough, and know how to take care of people." Emperor Lizong explained.

"Father, I don't like this, that Li Xiang is about the same!" The princess sat next to the emperor and began to be coquettish, fortunately, Jiying Hall is the place where the great court meeting is held, not the usual place to go to court, the emperor's throne is far away from the place where the hundred officials stand, and the two deliberately lowered their voices, so the others did not hear it.

Emperor Lizong had to smile bitterly, it seems that this colt is really not a good choice!

The palace examination is different from the township examination and the provincial examination, and the palace examination has only one day's time. When it was time for the marking day, a total of nine marking officers passed the examination papers in turn, and marked them with red pens. In the end, the top 10 with the most red circles will be presented to the emperor for reading.

Therefore, the candidates in the palace are all seizing the time to answer the questions, one by one, thinking hard, like Li Xiang, there are really not many people who can write quickly!

Of course, the most important of the two questions is to answer them correctly! That is, how to govern national affairs! There is no limit to the length of the essay, generally about 2000 words, and the beginning and end and the middle of the writing have a certain format and word limit, especially emphasizing writing, from a certain point of view, calligraphy is often more important than the article.

Li Xiang knew that in history, Wen Yunsun was in this palace examination, discussing and planning on the topic of the endless law, and his article was more than 10,000 words, and he did not write a draft, and he finished it in one go. Emperor Lizong personally selected him as the first place, and Wen Yunsun was the champion of high school.
