Thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young jinshi. Most of the scholars in the Ming Jing Department are mediocre people, and they must memorize the "Five Classics" of "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Mao's Poems", "Book of Rites" and "Spring and Autumn Zuochuan". Jinshi is different, if you just memorize the "Five Classics", you will not be successful. Therefore, most of the Jinshi are well-educated and outstanding. This caused the Jinshi to look down on the people who learned from the Ming Scriptures, and the officials of the same dynasty also despised and neglected.

Before the palace examination, there is still a re-examination, and after the re-examination, the day before the palace examination, the officials of Honglu Temple and Guanglu Temple began to arrange the palace examination.

It was already early in the morning, Liu Jian and Lin Shu had received the palace cakes, and the civil and military officials were also listed. Sitting on the dragon chair with a solemn expression, the Hanlin Bachelor also took out the test questions and handed them to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites knelt down and handed them over to at least Wu Qing, and they were not placed outside the hall, and there was no yellow case outside the hall. Shao Wuqing held the yellow case in his hand and stood up. Civil and military officials, the sergeants of the palace are all long lived.

The answer questions in the examination are still in prose, which has a lot of scruples, but it is very troublesome. The palace examination must be answered in prose, and the test questions are also current affairs and politics, official governance and economics, and classics and history.

Liu Lian is good at poetry and songs, and he is a scholar, and he also hopes that he will not be famous, and he will soar into the sky; If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

In the past three hours, Liu Lian had almost finished answering, and he looked at the answer sheet carefully, and he was very satisfied. In addition to the article, penmanship, calligraphy is also very important, Liu Jian and Liu Fa for the township gentry to copy the book, calligraphy should be good.

Just as Liu Lian was struggling to write, he didn't notice the complexity that flashed in Shao Wuqing's eyes, the complexity in the calm. The world is unpredictable, hmph, it's been nearly twenty years, and I'm afraid the taste of anxiety at night is not pleasant, but you're gone, and it's almost over

After the palace examination, the examiners gathered on the second day to open the book and began to review, just because the standards in everyone's hearts are different, there are many controversies, and when everyone sees Liu Lian's answer sheet, they are all stunned and look at each other. But it's not easy to taste. Just because Liu Lian's words are sharp and aimed at the disadvantages of the times, if this answer sheet is spread, it will definitely cause a sensation in Shilin, but there is a strategy to deal with the disadvantages of the imperial examination, and there are also words for the reform of the official system. Several people were sweating beads, and they didn't know how to answer correctly. At this time, the eldest Hanlin scholar brushed his beard and presented this volume to His Majesty, in addition, don't talk too much, continue to read the volume, he has a high status, and after speaking, he closed his eyes and recuperated and stopped talking. Seeing this, several people smiled bitterly and were silent.

Shao Wuqing is in the study at the moment, since the founding of the People's Republic of China. He rarely went to the harem, and spent most of his time in the study, and in his heart, he was also extremely attentive. Most of the rest is less than three hours a day, sometimes less than one or two hours. The spring flood in the north, the people were displaced, as for the northwest, the problem was even worse, the barbarian slaves repeatedly committed the border, several times almost hit the wolf mountain, Shao Wuqing was furious, what is the place of the wolf mountain, it is the backbone of the Han family, and it is a sign of his grandfather's pacification of the northwest. Since it was the humiliation of the northern barbarian slaves, it was the life of 100,000 Han family sons and daughters.

It is precisely like this, the Northwest generals will be defeated and retreat to the bottom of the Wolf Mountain, and they will never retreat again, if they retreat again, even if they can survive secretly, it will also make the younger generations laugh. That's it, under Wolf Mountain, from the past few decades to the present, there will never be less than 300,000 underground souls.

It was when Shao Wuqing was distressed, and suddenly the examiner outside the hall asked to see him, and Shao Wuqing motioned for Xiao Huangmen to pass on.

Shao Wuqing looked at Yu Shiji, the examiner who was kneeling on the ground, and was a little puzzled: "Why is sweat beading on Yu Qing's forehead?" But he was a little displeased.

Yu Shiji hurriedly shook his body: "Minister, lose your honor"

Shao Wuqing became more and more displeased: "If there is something, tell me quickly." ”

Yu Shiji Khan didn't dare to wipe it, and hurriedly held Liu Lian's answer sheet, and Xiao Huangmen took it and presented it to Shaowuqing.

Shao Wuqing looked at the signature, and was even more puzzled: "Liu Lian's test paper? ”

Yu Shiji hurriedly said: "Well, exactly!" ”

Shao Wuqing said while looking at it: "An answer sheet is also for me to read in person, it's really ...... Well, you go down first. Shao Wuqing looked at it and understood why they couldn't read it to Liu Lian, it was really embarrassing for them.

The more Shao Wuqing looked at it, the more ugly his face became, but when he saw the end, he was extremely disappointed. His health is also not good, he has been tired of the government in recent years, his health is getting worse and worse, although it is spring, there is still a charcoal fire in the palace, he looked at it for a long time, and finally threw this exam paper into the charcoal fire.

Looking at this burning flame, Shao Wuqing's face was not only strange, but also a little pale. He understands that Liu Lian's views are extremely appropriate, and if they were placed in the time when the country was just settled, it might be feasible to rely on military strength, but now there are many more scruples. If you really do what is on Liu Lian's exam paper, there will be chaos in the world.

If it is said that when Shaowuqing mutiny and established the country, it was just a momentary anger, but now it is a little cherished, he hopes that in the future, this country will still be surnamed Shaowu, and the dragon chair only sits on the young martial arts family!

Shao Wuqing stood in front of the case for a long time, and finally the examiner came in.

"Liu Lian is the third of the first head of Qin, and the first is the first of the Jinshi, that is, the flower of Tanhua." Shao Wuqing said in a deep voice.

Thinking of conferring the official, he was a little hesitant, if he was awarded any Hanlin revision, it would be a pearl of the pearl. After thinking about it, he said: "The matter of awarding officials is postponed, and I have ordered someone to seal the answer sheet." You must not spread the word about this, understand? ”

The man's heart sank, and he replied, "The minister understands. ”

Shao Wuqing nodded and said lightly: "In this case, you can step down." ”

The man answered the call and went out, and when he returned, he and the other examiners considered the other candidates......

On the day of the list, Liu Lian went out to see the list with Lin Shu, and was also happy to see that he was a scholar and a first, and remembered that day at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, in order to answer the emperor, he had no choice but to go to the flowers, but he didn't expect a word to come true. It's just that Lin Shu is only a top three, and he was born as a Jinshi, and he is afraid that he will be released to be a parent official in the future, but he is the most careful, and he can be appointed as a pusher.

Lin Shu was also very satisfied in his heart, he was also a person who did not ask for it, and if he thought too much, it was not good. After seeing the list, the two looked at each other and smiled, and went back to the house together.

But after a while, Yan Shaobing also came, and this time, he was holding a pot of wine tightly in his hand. Look at that look, but it is extremely precious.

Seeing this, Liu Jian also smiled: "Brother Yan is doing something very much, sneaky, and losing the face of a scholar in vain." ”

Yan Shaobing glanced at him, and said angrily: "What you said is light......" Then his eyes rolled: "Did Brother Liu forget something?" ”

Liu Lian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly: "Brother Yan is still worried about that pot of wine?" Helplessly, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. It's just that anyone can see the warmth in their eyes.

Yan Shaobing also smiled, like sake in a pot......
