In the long history of this time and space, there are always a small number of unruly world supremes, and their power has reached its peak at a certain point in time.

For example, the current Emperor of the Apocalypse is like this, the upright Donglin forces have been weakened to the extreme by several political turmoil, and several large-scale factions of officials in the inland region are now also unable to form an army, and the eunuch bureaucratic forces that rely on the imperial power have reached unprecedented heights in the Ming Empire.

In a sense, this can be regarded as the end of the long partisan struggle that began at the age of 33 of Wanli and has been more than 400 years long, and the hundreds of millions of people in the land of Shenzhou are almost all shrouded in the influence of the political forces with the 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian as the core during this time period.

At this time, because of Lin Pingzhi's abrupt performance in submitting the paper ahead of schedule.

On a whim of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, with the cooperation of the eunuch forces, the young-looking Son of Heaven directly skipped the marking process of the minister, picked up Lin Pingzhi's file and checked it in advance.

Lin Pingzhi's previous guess was indeed not wrong, the first policy that told about "the way to govern the country and strengthen the army" was directly skipped by the Son of Heaven, and the emperor's eyes were all focused on Lin Pingzhi's second question.

At this time, almost the entire Ming high-level officials in the Fengtian Hall focused their attention on the emperor, especially Li Biao, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who was even more nervous about this supreme in the world.

Although he didn't face the Son of Heaven directly, the moment the Emperor of the Apocalypse raised the test paper to check it, the clothes on his back were directly wet with cold sweat.

The only remaining high-ranking official of the Donglin faction, for fear that Lin Pingzhi would be like those radical young Donglin scholars, wrote some words with fierce rhetoric to persuade the Son of Heaven to give up his carpenter work, in case he provoked the anger of the Son of Heaven, and afterwards the eunuch party retaliated, sweeping away the Donglin officialdom that had little remnant.

Under the attention of many high-level Ming officials, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was holding Lin Pingzhi's test paper and reading it for a while, hummed lightly, and then handed the paper to Wei Zhongxian beside him with a smile, and continued to circle around the golden circle of the Wendao ritual vessel with both hands behind his back.

Wei Zhongxian, who thought that the Son of Heaven would be furious after reading the papers, was a little surprised, but he knew Lin Pingzhi's deep Donglin background, and his mentor was Gu Dazhang, an old man who was in the same boat as the eunuch party.

He didn't think that under the education of that old man, Lin Pingzhi would put down his face and slap the sycophants of the Son of Heaven, and when he saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse handing him the test paper, the nine-thousand-year-old hurriedly took it with both hands.

The nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, who has a high level of profound martial arts and even specializes in practicing eyesight, can see much faster than the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who only knows some health preservation skills, although he only glanced at it twice and handed the scroll to the ministers behind him, but the content of the scroll has been imprinted in his mind in this extremely short period of time.

Wei Zhongxian's expression changed slightly, as if he didn't expect the article in Lin Pingzhi's test paper to be so cleverly written.

The emperor's smiling expression has already shown his satisfaction with this volume, and as the eagle dog of the Son of Heaven, he naturally will not secretly stumble on a scholar who is about to "marry" into the clan and has no threat to the eunuchs.

The nine-thousand-year-old secretly glanced at the first minister of the eunuch faction who was waiting for his instructions, and after signaling for approval, he hurriedly trotted to the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and continued to follow his side.

And Li Biao, who was standing at the end of the line and was also a member of the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After walking around the golden circle for half an hour with many high-level Ming officials, Li Biao was the last to take Lin Pingzhi's test paper from his colleagues in front of him.

Unfolding the rice paper, his eyes swept over, and the flowing handwriting accompanied the content of the article did not enter Li Biao's eyes.

Although Li Biao has little say in this palace examination review, after all, he is one of the ministers who read the papers, and the Son of Heaven can not read the first article, he can't help but read it.

Looking at this, I naturally found the highlights of the slightly advanced content in Lin Pingzhi's article.

"That's a really good article!"

After reading it with a wave of his eyes, Li Biao couldn't help but say hello in his heart, moved the rice paper, and looked at the second article written by Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi's second article, with a word count of about 1,000 or eight, focuses on describing the deeds of some ancient saint kings such as "Youchao Clan" and "Suiren Clan".

Because of the emergence of extraordinary power in this time and space, the historical records of the ancient saint kings such as the "Youchao Clan" and the "Suiren Clan" are much more than the records of these ancient sages in the ordinary world of Lin Pingzhi's previous life.

What are the most important deeds of these ancient holy kings? Isn't it the invention of houses, the invention of clothes, the invention of pottery······ In a sense, it can be said that these ancient saint kings are all open-minded craftsmen, in addition to their noble saint king status, they naturally have the color of "work" in "Shinong industry and commerce".

"This offspring is really clever!"

After reading the article, Li Biao couldn't help but praise Lin Pingzhi in his heart, how could such a problem-breaking description not make the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who also has the color of a craftsman, feel happy?

The most important thing is that if you have enough literary accomplishment, you can also see from the description of the deeds of the holy kings in Lin Pingzhi's article that the author is using the wisdom of these ancient holy kings as an introduction to persuade the monarch to correct his mistakes, be diligent in government and love the people.

This one is amazing!

not only won the favor of the Son of Heaven, but also did not lose the bones of Shilin.

The old man looked at the marking slip next to the test paper, and sure enough, the other grading ministers all drew the highest "circle" among the five grades of "circle, point, point, straight, and fork" in the palace test paper, and immediately took the brush from the attendant eunuch next to him, and solemnly drew a "circle" on the marking slip.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!"

After drawing the "circle", Li Biao also secretly regretted Lin Pingzhi's talent, because under normal circumstances, only three volumes of "circle" evaluation can appear in each palace examination, as long as the Son of Heaven is not particularly disgusted with these three articles, generally all the authors of the "circle" volume can obtain the "first-class" fame, that is, the top three in the palace examination are commonly known as "champions, list eyes, and flowers".

It is a pity that Lin Pingzhi has such a good officialdom start, but he is favored by the noble daughter of the clan, although he has a noble status in the future, he can no longer get any real position, neither for the country nor for the shelter of Donglin.

In the eyes of the literati of this era, this kind of ending can be described as extremely cruel to Lin Pingzhi, who has a first-class reputation and is famous all over the world.

On the other side, Lin Pingzhi in the side hall didn't know that Li Biao, the Donglin boss in the Fengtian Palace, felt sorry for him.

At this time, he was wearing an elegant round-necked shirt with large sleeves, wearing a square scarf, enjoying the imperial tea that was always prepared in the side hall, thinking about the future road.

After the end of the exam, the remarks that he deliberately released on Jingshi Street, which seemed to be self-abandonment, must have reached the ears of the major officialdom and the people in control.

A scholar who is favored by the nobles of the clan will not be regarded as a threat by the vested interests of the high-level of the Ming Dynasty, especially the eunuchs.

The ministers who have an absolute advantage in reading the papers this time, not only will they not deliberately embarrass themselves, but they may also help themselves push up when they are reading the papers in order to curry favor with the royal family.

After all, the bigger and better Lin Pingzhi's name is, the more he will be able to make the entire royal family, including the Son of Heaven, feel bright when he becomes the husband of the noble daughter in the future.

Even if the eunuchs don't help, without the intervention of external forces, they will inevitably achieve a good ranking with their own pen strength.

Ma Yibin can't get the real power of civil officials, but after all, he is a royal family, and his promotion is bound to be extremely fast, which will naturally do more harm than good to orthodox and promising literati, but for Lin Pingzhi, it is not that there is no way to turn disadvantages into advantages.

So far, since he tried to enter the officialdom to become a bigwig at the beginning, transform the Donglin Party into a real political machine that can "fight", and help him completely change the idea of obtaining a huge number of deflection points in this era, he has faced failure with the spread of rumors of eunuch forces, then he can't help but change the method, a somewhat fierce method with bayonets and blood!

Thinking of this, Lin Pingzhi put down the tea cup of the imperial tea, and slowly walked to the gate of the side hall to gaze at the Hengri in the sky, the standing straight figure, somehow, added a touch of solemnity and coldness to this majestic imperial city·······
