Whether it's poetry or song.

There are no mandatory rules at all in the second half of the palace exam, and you can write which one you are good at.

The implicit meaning is self-evident, anyway, the results of the second half of the palace exam are not important, you can write whatever you want, and the examiner is too lazy to read it, it doesn't matter what it looks like.

Even Emperor Hongzhi, who came up with the question, was so perfunctory and didn't care, and Zhou Chen was naturally even more lazy to think about it.

He casually wrote a poem after the Zhengde Year of the Ming Dynasty on the test paper, and after going up, he directly handed in the paper and ended the last examination of the imperial examination.

As for plagiarism? How can the things of the reader teach plagiarism?

The palace examination in the second half can be said to be the fastest to end among all the examinations in the entire imperial examination system.

Only half an hour had passed, and all the candidates in the hall had finished answering.

After the invigilators of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials took away the test papers, the eunuchs serving outside the palace gate walked into the main hall and led all the candidates in the palace to the outside of the palace.

Next, all these tributes need to do is to wait quietly for the results of the palace examination to be released.

Anyway, this palace test did not fail to say that all the tributes were poor, and they could get the background of a fellow jinshi.

Therefore, after the end of this exam, they were not as nervous as before, and everyone's hearts were very relaxed.

It's time to eat, it's time to drink, it's not laid-back.

But all the tributes who have participated in the palace examination can be called the disciples of the Son of Heaven.

It stands to reason that since it is your own student's test paper, it should be reviewed by today's teacher for a long time.

However, there are more than 100 tributes who participated in the palace examination this time, and Emperor Hongzhi usually has a lot of opportunities, where does he have the time to personally review these more than 100 test papers.

Therefore, the task of reviewing the examination papers of the temple fell to the head of the cabinet.

It's just that Li Dongyang, the first assistant to the cabinet, and Liu Jian, the second assistant, are old and can't spend too much energy on this kind of thing.

Therefore, compared to Xie Qian, who is much younger, he became the main person in charge of this marking.

The rest of the grading officers are composed of scholars from Hanlin and those who are knowledgeable in the court.

After the number of people increases, the efficiency of work is naturally much higher.

It was only a day later, and the results of this temple examination had already been reviewed.

After all the markers left comments and names on the test papers they had reviewed, they finally gathered them into the hands of Ge Lao Xie Qian.

Xie Qian selected the top 20 among the more than 100 test papers, but he presented these 20 test papers to the emperor, and Emperor Hongzhi personally decided the champion, list, and tanhua of this palace test.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Emperor Hongzhi sat behind a bookcase in a pale yellow civilian clothes, on which were placed twenty test papers presented by Xie Qian.

By the side of Emperor Hongzhi, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao stood honestly aside.

Although Zhu Houzhao's temperament is a little jumpy, but now that Ge Lao Xie Qian is sitting below, he naturally will not lose his demeanor at this time.

Emperor Hongzhi carefully flipped through the top twenty test papers in front of him, and the look on his face did not change much.

was able to pass the examination to become a tribute, and was finally determined by Xie Qian to become the top 20 in the palace examination.

The writing of these candidates is naturally not weak, and Emperor Hongzhi can clearly understand the general point of view just by sweeping it at a glance.

While flipping through these test papers, Emperor Hongzhi said aloud to Zhu Houzhao, who was next to the school: "Prince, if you come to participate in this palace examination, how will you answer this strategy to calm the border troubles?" ”

Hearing these words in his ears, a strong yearning and excitement immediately rose in the depths of Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and he said excitedly: "Naturally, I will use the king master to crusade against these thieves.

Dad, as long as you give your son 100,000 troops, and your son will personally lead the troops to fight, he will definitely crush those Rongdi tribes on the grassland in one battle. ”

Zhu Houzhao's temperament is not honest and calm, but as long as it involves military matters, he is very interested.

In his own opinion, it is more interesting to be a high-ranking emperor than to be a general on the battlefield.

Therefore, regardless of whether Emperor Hongzhi really allowed it, Zhu Houzhao still said the idea of wanting to lead the army and lead the generals in his heart for the first time.

Seeing such a scene, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart, he was naturally very aware of his son's temperament.

"If it is after his own great trip, the prince may not be able to suppress the ministers in the court!

It seems that before the crown prince ascends the throne, I need to find a few important ministers for him! ”

Some absentmindedly flipped through the test papers in their hands, and Emperor Hongzhi secretly thought about who in the court could become Zhu Houzhao's future humerus ministers.

"Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian, these three pavilion elders are quite upright, capable, and loyal, and it is enough to assist the prince in controlling the court.

It's a pity that Li Dongyang and Liu Jian are too old, and when the prince really ascends the throne, the two of them should probably be Zhishi.

If Xie Qian was left alone, he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the entire court. ”

"Huh?!"

Just as Emperor Hongzhi was pondering, he suddenly let out a soft sigh, and all his attention was attracted by the third-ranked test paper in his hand.

"Ping Rongce?! Open to the market?! This insight is very interesting! ”

The proposal to open up the mutual market has already been played by some people in the court.

But others have proposed opening up the market to each other, in order to buy the sturdy horses, cattle and sheep of the grasslands.

It doesn't matter if the cattle and sheep arrive, but how can the leaders of the various tribes on the grassland let the horses flow into the territory of the Ming Dynasty and become the excellent war horses ridden by the border army of the Ming Dynasty?

This is just like the Ming Dynasty will not allow iron and steel to flow into the grassland!

Neither side could get what they needed from the mutual market, so the opening of the mutual market eventually came to an end.

However, the points put forward on this test paper instantly made Emperor Hongzhi's eyes light up.

The daily necessities of the Ming Dynasty were sold to the grassland through the mutual market, so that the grassland herdsmen gradually enjoyed a stable and comfortable life, and little by little wiped out the belligerent factors in them.

Although this method could not immediately solve the problem of border troubles, it was a long-term plan, which really made Emperor Hongzhi deeply amazed.
