After the test list, only half a month is the palace test, the time is very tight, the fifteen days of time, many tributes have to go to the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to receive training, the training time is five days, that is to say, there is not much time left for the tributes, the palace test is only a test of the strategy, that is, a day of time, and after the tributes enter the palace, they need to go through a roll call, scattered, praise, salute and many other understandings, the palace test is over, three days later the results are announced, the ceremony is held, the ranking is announced, it is called the passing, the next day, The emperor gave a banquet in the Ministry of Rites, called it the Grace Banquet, and then the emperor gave the champion court clothes, crown belt, the champion led many Jinshi to express gratitude, to the Confucian Temple to release the food ceremony, and then the Ministry of Engineering for the undergraduate Jinshi to set up a monument inscription.

With so many programs, there can't be any errors, so it's important to train in advance.

The focus of the training is on three aspects, the first aspect is the relevant ceremony of the temple examination, roll call, scattered papers, etc. are easy to say, everyone has experienced many exams, know the rules, praise and salute is not very complicated, there are officials of Honglu Temple in front of it, and many tributes follow it.

The second aspect of training is the most important, that is, the ceremony is held in the Huangji Palace, the Huangji Hall is the palace where the emperor holds the ceremony, including the emperor's succession, weddings, etc. are held here, the Huangji Hall is also the largest palace in the palace, when the ceremony begins, the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple set up a yellow case on the platform outside the Huangji Palace, and the ministers of civil and military affairs are dressed in court clothes and stand in the main hall to wait, and the tributes who participate in the palace examination are led by the officials of the Honglu Temple and wait next to the imperial road. The emperor passed on the roll call, and after hand-picking the top three, the champion led the first class list and Tanhua into the main hall to thank the emperor.

Next is the so-called gold list title, the officials of the Ministry of Rites hold the imperial list, guided by the yellow umbrella, out of the Taihe Gate and the Noon Gate, many Jinshi, civil and military officials follow the Huangbang out, the Huangbang to the East Chang'an Gate outside the hanging, the champion led many Jinshi to watch the list.

The third aspect of training, mainly the relevant rules of the Grace Banquet, the Grace Banquet can not be drunk, that may encounter reprimand, think that you do not understand the etiquette, then the emperor will give the champion court clothes, crown belt, the champion led many Jinshi on the table to thank Longen, this recital table by the champion instead of many Jinshi read aloud.

With so much etiquette, it is not easy to make the slightest mistake.

However, the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple are not very anxious, they know very well that the tributes who can participate in the temple examination are all talents who are one in a million, and there is no big problem in learning these etiquettes, even if they are not too smart tributes, maybe because they have read too many books, but when they enter the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple training, they can adapt in the shortest possible time.

The so-called one thing descends one thing, which is probably this principle.

Besides, the most important task is the palace test champion, once the emperor appoints the champion, the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple will next have to tell the champion what to do, so as not to have some problems.

When Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu went to report to the Ministry of Rites, most of the tributes had already arrived.

When you come to the Ministry of Rites, everyone is very careful, and everyone knows that any unsightly action here will attract the attention of others, and it will have a great impact on the future career.

When many people looked at Zheng Xunrui, their eyes revealed a look of surprise, probably not expecting that this time they would try to meet the Yuan so young, of course Zheng Xunrui also looked at everyone, what made him sigh was that many people had white hair, which made him a little ashamed of the traverser, people were hard to study and obtain, he was a collection of ancient and modern sages of knowledge to obtain.

Maybe it's Zheng Xunrui's low-key, which makes more people surprised, it is said that Xinke Huiyuan is so young, and it is normal for the appearance of pride to come out, but this young Huiyuan has a mature and stable atmosphere, which makes many people nod secretly, in the end, it is Huiyuan, and it is not ordinary.

Of course, Huiyuan is not necessarily the champion of the palace examination, and it will still depend on the article to determine the ranking at that time.

The training soon began, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites first explained the relevant matters that needed to be paid attention to, that is, to teach many tribute scholars, and told you that after entering the palace, those things can be done and those things cannot be done.

Zheng Xunrui didn't listen very carefully, anyway, what the officials of the Ministry of Rites said, almost all of them can't be done, for example, they can't look around, they must be led by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and walk honestly towards the Huangji Palace, everyone has to lower their heads and look at the underground road.

The second is the matter of saluting, the officials of the Ministry of Rites warned everyone that when the emperor comes, he must kneel and bow, which is also Zheng Xunrui's biggest headache, but it is also something that must be done, if you feel that kneeling hinders your reputation, then don't think about being able to participate in the palace examination, someone will immediately put you out.

Finally, there are other related rituals and so on, that is, the relevant matters that need to be paid attention to in the ceremony.

The Ministry of Rites officials said for a long time, not just one person, but several people, and there were repetitions and special emphasis, a full three hours.

The next day, the training officially began, and the officials of Honglu Temple were in charge of the training.

The training is also conducted in the official residence of Hongroji Temple.

Looking at the neatly arranged many tributes, Zheng Xunrui suddenly felt that this kind of training was like military training in the previous life, requiring everyone to act in unison, and there could be no mistakes.

It is good to train it like this, at least so that many tributes can have a certain degree of consciousness.

In the process of training, Zheng Xunrui has always paid special attention to Zhang Pu and Wu Weiye and others, according to the news he knows, Yang Yi directly entered the Guozijian and was ready to study, as for Wu Changshi and Chen Zilong and others, they left the capital and prepared to participate in the next examination.

The letter he received, Zheng Xunrui has always been a little suspicious of Zhang Pu and Yang Yi and others, but he doesn't understand a little, it is impossible for Zhang Pu and others to know these things, after all, it is a matter of the Wen family, it is impossible to publicize it to the outside world, and it is impossible to shout everywhere in Wen Zhenmeng, Wen Zhenheng and Yao Ximeng and others.

Zheng Xunrui analyzed for a long time, and thought about the people who could do such things, that is, Zhang Pu and Yang Yi and others, but he faintly felt that there should be people behind Zhang Pu and Yang Yi, otherwise the two had never set foot in officialdom, and they could not be so sophisticated and knew what direction to start.

Yang Tingshu doesn't seem to have much interest in these ceremonies, maybe he has always grown up in an official family, and he has seen these matters, so there is nothing surprising, the two are still standing together in the middle of the team, but there is still a certain distance from Zhang Pu and Wu Weiye, Wu Weiye once took the initiative to greet Zheng Xunrui, Zheng Xunrui of course responded enthusiastically, but there is no intersection between him and Zhang Pu.

Zheng Xunrui paid attention to Zhang Pu, and he found that when Zhang Pu faced him, there was a faint trace of unnaturalness, and there was obviously an evasive attitude, which made his inner suspicion aggravated.

The time of the four-day training in Honglu Temple passed in a flash.

The meals provided by Honglu Temple every day are still good, which makes Zheng Xunrui realize that although the court is very difficult, the treatment of officials is still good, and it seems that officials are unwilling to suffer, that is to say, the court first ensures the income of officials, as well as the daily expenses.

Back at the restaurant, Zheng Xunrui was ready to take a rest.

There are still seven days to go, which is the time for the palace exam, and Zheng Xunrui needs to prepare a little, although such preparation may not have much effect.

After Yang Tingshu entered the room, he spoke very directly.

"Qingyang, it's going to be the palace test soon, after coming to the capital, so much time has passed, you and I have been busy, I thought that after the test, it would be easier, who knows that it is more tired than before, these days in Honglu Temple, tired back pain, really boring."

"Brother Huaidou, don't you want to see the emperor when you pass on the ceremony."

"Don't say those useless words, I can't see the emperor, this self-knowledge is still there, that's your business, I really have something to consult today, what do you think the palace test will involve."

In fact, this is also a matter of concern to many tributes, and there are some discussions in private.

Zheng Xunrui has his own ideas, and he will not hide Yang Tingshu.

"Brother Huaidou, you must have heard some of the discussions of everyone in the past few days, and most of them think that the emperor's policy this time must be related to the current situation, but I don't see it that way."

Yang Tingshu looked at Zheng Xunrui and didn't speak, but his eyes revealed surprise.

"If you think about it, the examination is already a test question about the government, that is, the article meets the requirements, and it can only be passed through the guò examination, if the palace examination is still a question in this regard, wouldn't it be too much, there is no need for that."

"What you said is also reasonable, but it may not be so, the meeting will only talk about it from a large aspect, and the palace test may focus on a certain aspect, such as the problem of famine, and the resulting rebellion, if you go deep into this aspect, it is also possible."

"Then let me ask you, can you come up with any good ideas?"

"I still can't do this, after all, I haven't gone deep into it, and it's impossible to put forward a good proposal."

"Yes, the emperor must also know, after all, everyone is a tribute, it is impossible to go deep into reality, if it is a certain aspect of the problem, who can put forward such a good construction, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, I don't know how many constructions have been proposed, if you want these tributes to propose the construction of the palace test, wouldn't it make the Manchu Dynasty civil and military shame."

Yang Tingshu looked at Zheng Xunrui and nodded thoughtfully.
