On the fifth day of the first month of March, after the previous preliminary examination, the day of the palace examination finally came.

During the pre-examination, many people still had the intention to compete, and they wore fancy clothes.

But when the real palace exam was held, everyone restrained their arrogance on weekdays and showed the humility of a student.

Who called this the inner courtyard of the palace, a place that ordinary people would never be able to reach in their lifetime.

You have studied hard for many years, not just to get a good background.

Most of the officials who have been silent for several years, and if they fail to stand out in the examination, they will have to continue to suffer.

Guarding those meager salaries, living in the gold cave of Haojing is really like a year.

In the face of this opportunity to soar, who can not be cautious and cherish it?

After layers of investigation, a group of people came to the Tiyuan Palace.

This hall is towering and towering, located on the central axis of the Haojing Royal City, usually does not open, only important ceremonies, court meetings will be held here.

Nowadays, the emperor has held this palace examination here, which fully shows the importance attached to this examination.

The chief manager Qingchi got up very early this day, and took care of the surroundings of the Tiyuan Hall very refreshing and proper, and the idle people had already been blasted out, and some of the women and eunuchs who wanted to see the excitement of the palace were also driven clean.

The people who are left on duty are all characters who are on duty on weekdays, and they won't say a word or go one step further.

The court ceremony does not tolerate any mistakes, let alone those servants who have the heart to watch the excitement and enjoy it.

Nine-fold palace que, it's really high.

After Kong Youde walked up the high steps, he felt that his legs were a little sore, and Zhou Yao next to him was in good spirits.

After climbing the steps for so long, he was a little unable to do it, but his thin figure never fell, but kept a distance of half a step, following him.

It's kind of interesting, this guy.

He silently thought that one day, see how to clean him up.

Although he made this decision, he unexpectedly looked at it a few more times, and seemed to feel that this Zhou Yao was not so annoying, and his eyebrows were all pleasing to him.

Well, let's not take care of it for now.

Kong Youde is determined to win this time, and in terms of learning, he is the best among the officials who make the examination.

Helplessly, during the imperial examination, there was no money to dredge up the relationship, and the first few were already set, so when he entered the office, he was just a small nine-rank sesame official.

I have worked diligently for a few years, but I have just been promoted to the eight-grade book.

Although he is not a good official, when it comes to learning, he is from the White Tiger Academy.

The name of the White Tiger Academy is well-known, and it has a history of more than two hundred years.

But since the time of Emperor Weilie, many people only know about the White Tiger Palace, but not the White Tiger Academy.

After all, it is much more convenient to ask for the blessing of a god and Buddha and ask for a rune water.

The emperor looked at the hundred and ten people below, and knew that it was the pride of the empire that could go through many selections and get here, but he still had to question them, divide them into three, six, nine, and treat them differently.

This is the recruitment of talents for the country, the recruitment of talents, and the actions of virtuous monarchs.

I feel ridiculous when I think of this, a few years ago, I was still picked by those long-tongued women in the market.

The long-tongued women are always looking around, while muttering: choose the cloth of Xiaolangjun, or the cloth of the sweet-mouthed brother, or the cloth of the lady who sent the veil.

Every look they made, every step they took, was enough to make the vendors shout.

They were hoarse and cried out to sell their wares, lest the long-tongued women would not come.

Ji Fansheng has never been like this, he always uses the most gorgeous patterns to attract them; Tempt them with a cheap price.

However, as long as they were close to his stall, how could they only buy those ostentatious goods.

It is often a big bag and a small bag, and when you leave, you don't forget to look back at Ji Fansheng a few times, which is the successful end of this procurement.

But that experience was unforgettable for him, waiting to be patronized, waiting to be chosen.

While anxious, nervous, there is still a trace of indescribable hope in my heart.

The left and right are just picked by others, and the small traders and hawkers have no dignity to talk about, so what dignity can they talk about these reference talents?

It's not the same as standing under His Royal Highness, trying in vain to be chosen by himself, changing his fate from then on, and jumping onto the dragon gate.

But have they ever thought about the life after the jump?

Do you soar with your talents, or do you live with your Sacred Heart?

He remembered that when he was a child, he heard the storyteller often say, "Learn to become a writer and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family." ”

It's true, now that I'm an emperor myself, I think of those past events and feel that it's just a drama in life.

Maybe the chosen one will regret how he was chosen.

The emperor felt that he had thought too far, so he withdrew his thoughts and focused on the process of the palace examination.

The palace examination has a pre-prepared question, and the emperor is just making a show and reading it out on it.

But nominally, it was the emperor who made the question, so those who got ahead in the subject examination were also considered to be the protégés of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, the emperor's recitation of questions is not only a formal need, but also the core of the subject examination.

The candidates answered on the spot, and there were also full-time officials from the Imperial Examination Department of the Ministry of Rites to copy and seal on the spot to prevent cheating.

After receiving the examination papers, there were also officials from the Imperial Examination Department who judged on the spot, and selected the top ones to be sent to the emperor for viewing and ranking.

If there are candidates who have been favored by the emperor's sacred heart, there are also places to be overranked, after all, the Son of Heaven always has a bit of a privilege to choose a protégé.

After the emperor finished reading the exam questions, he suddenly became interested, looked at the words on the plaque of the palace, and asked everyone: "Who of you can know, what does this body yuan hall mean?" ”

Everyone didn't expect that there were still people who answered on the spot, but they didn't have time to prepare, and the emperor's eyes roamed over, and some candidates became nervous, and they were actually in a cold sweat, which was really embarrassing.

Kong Hede came out of the crowd: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this body yuan hall is to tell the truth of the sage, the so-called body yuan system, and it is made after the sky."

His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and recruiting talents here is really a Ming Jun's style. ”

The emperor saw that the list was a man who looked like a military general, with a stiff beard, and some newly emerged particularly untamed vultures standing up, without the appearance of a Confucian at all.

Although he looks fierce, he can listen to what he says, and look at the article.

There is another person in the ranks, it is Zhou Yao.

He bowed first, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the grass people think that the body is the rule, but the saint is tailored."

Your Majesty chooses the materials, and the one who has the Sacred Heart is the best.

The sages do not understand the events of the day, let alone the heart of His Majesty. ”

The emperor looked at it, and the life of the speaker was very beautiful, and he called himself a grass citizen, which was recommended by the minister, but he was a discerning person.

When I was happy, I showed a little affection on my face.

"Okay, okay, you guys are all beautiful, I don't know how the article is, and go and do it well."
