Although, it is not the first time in Fengtian Hall to meet these imperial examination elites who are about to officially enter the officialdom of the Ming Empire.

But when he saw that one of those people with extraordinary temperament, vitality and vigor entered the palace to salute him, the throne was directly above the Fengtian Palace, and the young emperor who had lived in the deep palace for many years still couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"The world's talents, all in my mine!"

He put his hands on the guardrail of the throne, stood up, and walked slowly down.

That's right, in this time and space with the color of Xianxia, the Apocalypse Supreme, who is 272 years old and has been in power for nearly 75 years, can still be called "young" among the previous emperors.

During this period of time, the life-prolonging spiritual objects in the whole world are becoming increasingly scarce due to the arrival of the end of the Dharma era.

However, if the whole country searched for it, and it was only used for the enjoyment of the Son of Heaven and a few elders in the royal family, the Ming Dynasty's life-prolonging spiritual reserves were barely sufficient.

The nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, who was standing next to the throne, saw his master get up, and hurriedly trotted over without slacking off, bowing down to support the emperor.

At this time, the nine thousand years old, where is there still the majesty of bullying the court on weekdays, he was full of festive smiles, helped the emperor down from the high platform of the throne, followed the emperor's body after half a step, and said respectfully while walking.

"To be valued by His Majesty is really a blessing for these moves!"

On both sides of the stairs directly below the throne, on the left are the eunuch civil ministers headed by Huang Liji, the first assistant to the cabinet.

This old minister, who has clean facial features and does not look like the "eunuch demon" in the mouth of the Donglin Party, followed Wei Zhongxian's words and bowed to the Son of Heaven and said.

"What Gonggong Wei said is extremely true."

"The emperor values these young people, but it is their blessing!"

On the right side under the throne is a relatively small number of eunuch noble military attachés led by Wei Liangqing, who is dressed in brocade clothes.

These warriors who were denounced as "eunuch butcher knives" by the literati of the Donglin lineage were actually important in the nine-thousand-year-old forces, and Wei Zhongxian used to hold the military power of the Beijing camp and the "knife handle" of the Jinyi Guard's supervision.

"Yes! Grandpa Wei is right! ”

"Being valued by His Majesty is their great blessing!"

······

Li Biao, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who stood at the back of the civil official arrangement, shook his head helplessly when he saw this scene.

Turning around, this high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty in the Fengtian Palace, the only minister who was not inclined to the eunuch party, saw that the palace test members had been seated one by one in accordance with the order of the examination ranking, his eyes were slightly condensed, and a trace of essence light was visible to the naked eye.

In Lin Pingzhi's perception at this time, an invisible literary aura mixed with the official spirit of the Ministry of Rites rose from Li Biao's body, activating a Wendao ritual vessel hidden at the top of Fengtian Palace.

Suddenly, a pale golden circle of light filled the entire central examination room area of the Fengtian Palace, shielding the hustle and bustle under the throne, artificially creating a quiet examination environment for the hall examiners.

Looking at the appearance of the golden circle in the examination room around him, although before arriving at the Fengtian Palace, from the training of those low-level officials of the Ministry of Rites, there was such a process in the palace examination that many people already knew, and even from the mouths of those officials, they knew that one of the few remaining transcendent Wendao ritual vessels in the Ming Dynasty was not just used to create a quiet examination environment.

It also has the function of identifying the true body of the human race and expelling the unfortunate qi and ghost energy on the body of the lifter, which is to bless a positive buff for all lifters, and also to avoid some possible evil ways that will hurt the Son of Heaven and other high-ranking members of the empire.

But after all, this world has entered the era of the end of the law, and the transcendent magic has long been revealed to the world like before the end of the law.

Most of the people in the Fengtian Hall had seen this kind of real range-type extraordinary special effects for the first time, including our Lin Pingzhi, who had secretly looked at the gold circle made by the Wendao ritual vessel a few times, and after satisfying their curiosity, they turned their attention to the policy topics on the table in front of them.

This apocalypse is seven years old and five years old, and the two topics of Ding Mao Kedian's trial theory are very long, adding up to hundreds of words.

After Lin Pingzhi glanced at it, he found that the first topic was old-fashioned, which was nothing more than asking the lifters "the way to govern the country and strengthen the army".

The second topic is interesting, which is basically to let the scholars discuss the significance of "craftsmen" to the country.

What else could be the point?

Combined with today's "hobby" of doing carpentry work, Lin Pingzhi can be said to know that this is actually to let the lifters pat the emperor's ass, give the Son of Heaven not to do business, not to listen to the teachings of the sages to "Zufa Yao Shun, Charter Civil and Military", but to do carpenter work every day, and find a legitimate "beginning".

The topic of "the way to govern the country and strengthen the army" has appeared many times in the palace examinations of all dynasties and the daily questions and answers of monarchs and ministers.

But if you want to become a first-class jinshi, get a good ranking in the palace examination, or even want to become the top student in this department, the key depends on how to answer this second question.

In the current situation that eunuch officials occupy the cabinet in an all-round way and hold the power of this imperial examination, in fact, it is to see who can write the legitimate "beginning" of today's carpenter work well, write it well, write it well, and write it croakingly, then most likely who can please today's people and win the championship in one fell swoop and become the champion of today's department!

Lin Pingzhi, who understood this key point, looked around secretly, and looked at a few frowning Donglin companions around him with pity.

In his contact in the past few years, now after experiencing several political turmoil, Donglin is in the same vein, and there may only be Lin Pingzhi's teacher Gu Dazhang and other Donglin old people, who still retain the political concept of advocating practical learning. Most of the newcomers, Donglin scholars with merchant backgrounds will only talk emptyly, and it is absolutely impossible for these self-proclaimed Donglin scholars to boast about the status of "craftsmen" among the four people of "Shinong Industry and Commerce" in the palace trial theory, and to flatter the horses.

In fact, not only did Donglin Juzi frown when he saw the second policy, but some other political factions divided by inland regions, such as the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and the Qi Party, also frowned.

At this time, the literati were not very capable, but because of the prevalence of science, each of them regarded their reputation as greater than the sky.

No one wants to be contaminated with the stigma of "flattery", except for some scholars who were born in the eunuch circle and whose identity has been determined to die at the end of the eunuch party without any pressure, and who continue to sway their pen and ink in their chests, almost all of them frowned and pondered after answering the first policy theory.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a short time, the bell representing the passage of an hour rang outside the Fengtian Temple.

There are only two hours for the Daming Hall test in this time and space, and the marking of the papers also starts immediately after the lifters answer the papers, and now half of the time has passed, and under the pressure of time, many frowning and contemplative lifters have to force their pen to answer the questions.

In addition to the eunuchs who are purely patting the sycophants today, the vast majority of them think that they still have some backbone, and they are all extending the "work" in the second question to the "Ministry of Industry", although there are some deviations, but in order not to flatter.

But at this time, our Lin Pingzhi suddenly put down the sheep hair in his hand, and after carefully checking it several times, he confidently called the eunuchs in the Fengtian Hall who were standing around him, and handed in his answer sheet.

Then, after standing up and saluting in the direction of the throne of the Son of Heaven again, he was led to the side hall next to him to rest by the inner eunuch according to the procedure.

On such an occasion as Fengtian Palace, Lin Pingzhi's first hand in the papers, or a rare move in advance in the previous palace examinations, instantly attracted the attention of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was surrounded by the eunuch party dignitaries, listening to the horses on the outside of the golden circle of the Wendao ritual vessel, and happily circling around the circle, observing the young man answering the question through the golden circle.

This Son of Heaven, who had maintained his appearance in his youth because of some kind of life-prolonging elixir, waved his hand, and Wei Zhongxian, who followed him, immediately smelled the fragrance and knew the elegance, and asked the eunuch who had just put away Lin Ping's scroll to directly present the scroll.

According to the normal process, after the palace examination is completely over, the top ten should be selected and submitted to the emperor for review after the reading of the minister's papers, but except for Li Biao, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, everyone else did not take this kind of rule-breaking behavior to heart.

If this kind of behavior had been placed in the Chongzhen Dynasty of the "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty" in the future, maybe some "upright" ministers would have come up to admonish the Son of Heaven long ago.

However, in the Tianqi Dynasty, where the eunuch party is rampant and the government is corrupted, it can only be said that it is the basic operation of the Son of Heaven on a whim, and the eunuch party and the masses cooperate······
