Cheng Qing didn't go to see the middle door hole of the noon gate.

Other tributes were curious and awe-inspiring about the palace, but Cheng Qing didn't feel much.

In the era before she traveled through, you could enter the Forbidden City by buying a ticket casually, and the palaces where the emperors and concubines lived were open to the public, and there was no sense of mystery after seeing it.

Every year when it snows, many tourists flock to the Forbidden City to take pictures.

There are still many Internet celebrity cats in the Forbidden City, and ordinary tourists can afford to eat dozens of yuan a bowl of mixed sauce noodles in the Forbidden City restaurant...... The forbidden palace in the past has become a tourist check-in place in modern society, which is very close to the people, how can people be in awe?

However, in modern society, the court, where ordinary tourists can walk around casually, is now very well-behaved.

Cheng Qing didn't think so, but he was not stupid enough to challenge the rules of the palace and leave the team without authorization to die.

She honestly followed Zhang Shilang, passed through the noon gate, and arrived at the Fengtian Gate.

The vermilion lacquer gate, several feet high, is still closed.

Zhang Shilang stood still, and Cheng Qing and the others could only wait.

Until the dawn of time, the morning sun slowly rises from the east, and in the sound of drums, the vermilion lacquer gate several feet high slowly opens.

Behind the Fengtian Gate is the Imperial Palace, and there is a large square between the two.

The Huangji Hall is commonly known as the 'Jinluan Palace', not only the palace test should be held in the Huangji Palace, but also the emperor's enthronement, the canonization of the queen and other major ceremonies are held in this hall, it is the most majestic palace in the palace!

Such a palace, without building high steps, how to bring out its magnificence?

Therefore, the steps in front of the Imperial Palace are also the highest in the entire Imperial Palace.

Oh, in the palace, the steps are not called steps, they are called 'Dan Majesty', Dan is red, and His Majesty refers to steps. The courtiers called the emperor 'Your Majesty', which vividly expressed the identity relationship between the two, the emperor is a venerable person sitting on a high place, and the others are only worthy of standing under the steps and talking to the emperor.

Cheng Qing wanted to pinch herself secretly, when was this, she was still thinking about this mess in her head!

Zhang Shilang took Cheng Qing and others to stand on His Majesty Dan, and on top of His Majesty Dan stood dozens of courtiers such as the scroll reader and the scroll receiving officer.

The emperor was only the chief examiner of the palace examination, and at the service of this chief examiner was a temporary body of dozens of courtiers.

In this organization, there are officials who read the papers, receive the papers, print the papers, hold the papers, seal the officials, monitor the officers, promote the officials, patrol officers, supply officers, and so on.

Institutions are set up temporarily, and officials are also temporarily transferred, and they will be returned to their respective positions after the palace examination.

But among these dozens of officials, there are cabinet scholars, six senior officials, supervising the imperial history, there are military attachés of the guards, and Hanlin, Zero Zero General Headquarters, including all ministries and departments of the court, which shows how much the emperor attaches importance to the palace examination!

Before the emperor came, Cheng Qing and other tributes stood in His Majesty Dan, waiting for the holy drive with dozens of courtiers on His Majesty Dan.

Cheng Qing was the first in line and saw a few familiar figures.

Meng Huaijin, Master Cheng Liu, Wang Saijiu and Mei Hanlin were all transferred to the temporary institution of the palace examination.

At the end of the hour, the emperor finally arrived, and the tributes followed the courtiers into the main hall, and after five bows and three knocks, the inner supervisor around the emperor was called "Pingshen".

The emperor wears a crown on his head, with crowns hanging down in front and back, and sits on a high place, unless he looks up with his neck up, he really can't see what the emperor looks like at that glance.

Cheng Qing didn't come to see the emperor, she came to the palace to try - an emperor who has reached the age of fifty, no matter how handsome he is, he can't be as handsome as Senior Brother Meng, and the middle-aged handsome uncle is not counted, what is there to see!

After bowing to the emperor, the cabinet chief assistant read out the holy decree.

Cheng Qing didn't dare to get distracted, after Meng Huaijin's popular science, she knew that the strategy of the palace test was in the holy decree of Gao Shoufu Xuandu.

For the entire temple test, only one policy will be written!

The emperor asked for a 'policy', and the tributes replied with a 'countermeasure', which simply means that the emperor was asking the tributes about their policy of governing the country.

In the tone of the emperor, the holy decree first modestly pointed out the unresolved shortcomings in his reign and sought solutions from the tributes...... If some stunned young people hear the emperor's modest tone in the holy decree, think that they can really let go of themselves, blame the government at will, and want to rely on Geng Zheng's advice to get out of the position, then they are pure iron and simple.

Tie Hanhan thought that he had impassionedly written dozens of suggestions on current affairs, and the emperor would marvel at his talent and entrust him with important tasks, that was really a dream, such a volume would be stuck in the hands of the reader of the volume, and there was no chance for the emperor himself to see if it was good or not!

Gao Shoufu announced that he had completed the holy decree, and Cheng Qing was very surprised.

The question of the question was beyond her expectations, the emperor took the flood disaster in Hetai Mansion as a guide, and asked about the management of floods, natural disasters are ruthless, and how to avoid man-made disasters - Gao Shoufu's voice fell, Cheng Qing felt that there were countless eyes in the palace that fell on him, including the high Ninety-Five Honor, who seemed to be looking at himself!

Oh my God, the question was tailor-made for her.

Is the emperor asking about flood control?

is clearly talking about the disaster silver embezzlement case!

Cheng Qing is probably the most personally felt party among the more than 300 tributes, and her father Cheng Zhiyuan died because of the Hetai Mansion disaster silver embezzlement case.

Floods are natural disasters, and disasters are man-made disasters.

The emperor asked this question, how should Cheng Qing answer?

If Cheng Qing was really only seventeen years old, and her father died in the disaster silver embezzlement case, she should write hard and take a hard look at this matter.

But if she writes like this, she will definitely not be able to win the champion, and all the courtiers and emperors will think that she is resentful!

But if you don't write like this, do you want to whitewash the peace and sing the praises of virtue?

It seems that Cheng Qing is too heartless.

After all, his father died in a man-made disaster after the flood, and Cheng Qing, who is full of talent, should put forward some useful suggestions.

Choose mediocrity or outstanding.

Do you want to be safe, or do you want to gamble?

How to highlight your talents and learnings without angering the emperor...... Cheng Qing was very tricky to face the exam questions as a candidate, but she didn't know that Gao Shoufu, who read the holy decree, was even more surprised than her.

The emperor is the chief examiner of the palace examination, but the policy questions of the palace examination are drawn up by the cabinet in advance, and then sent to the emperor by the eunuch of the celebrant Bingbi, and the imperial pen himself selects a policy question as the examination question of the palace examination, and then seals it and sends it back to the cabinet.

Before the palace test began, even Shoufu didn't know which policy the emperor had chosen.

It has been four or five years since the flood in Hetai Mansion and the disaster silver embezzlement case that shocked the government and the opposition after the flood, and it was not easy for the case to calm down, how could the cabinet take advantage of the opportunity of the palace examination to re-raise the old case - Gao Shoufu was surprised by this, the policy issue announced in the holy decree was not intended by the cabinet at all, but the emperor himself changed it temporarily!

Why did the emperor take the initiative to file this case?

Gao Shoufu looked at Cheng Qing, who was already sitting at the desk and preparing to answer the question, this is Jinke Huiyuan, the son of Cheng Zhiyuan.

Gao Shoufu is now very skeptical, whether the emperor still wants the auspiciousness of 'Six Yuan and First'.

Can a seventeen-year-old boy express his thoughts without offending Tianwei?

- Looks rather hanging!
