Chapter 395: The Palace Exam
Queen Su was a little startled and opened her mouth slightly.
In this way, she understood.
She has been able to get along with the imperial concubine for so many years, and she is not a person who doesn't know how to bow her head, but she didn't expect that she has been the queen for so many years, and now, she has to bow her head to a country girl!
Could it be that the previous things were just let go so lightly? She was really unwilling!
When the king of Zhongshun County saw that she was listening, he slowed down his voice: "Not only you, San Lang, Shouning, should also be good at enveloping her, even if you can't please her, you must not become an enemy!" Otherwise, it's just up to her to act...... She was originally born in the countryside, with a wild temperament and no scruples, do you dare to fight with her! ”
She didn't dare.
Empress Su pursed her lips slightly.
King Zhongshun County said word by word: "Niangniang, you should understand the emperor's temperament, if you continue to make trouble, if you really force the emperor to make a decision...... Have you ever heard that there are retired queens in history who live a leisurely life? ”
Queen Su trembled, and she was really afraid.
If it really gets to the extent of the abolition, it is not a trivial matter to abolish the queen, there must be guilt, and the best is also the end of the cold palace in the first life, a little careless is a three-foot white silk, at that time, what should she do?
Empress Su said in a trembling voice: "Father? Could it be that the emperor really ...... Didn't he care about his father at all......"
King Zhongshun nodded heavily, and Queen Su's eyes burst into tears: "Father, what should I do?" ”
King Zhongshun said: "Forbearance! ”
His voice was extremely low, and a pair of sharp eyes looked at her fixedly: "From today on, you will treat yourself as a guilty body, and punish yourself ruthlessly, the more miserable the better, and when you see the emperor, the lower the posture, the better!" ”
Emperor Ming Yan is a person with a temperament, and naturally has likes and dislikes, but he is broad-minded and a true loving father and benevolent monarch.
For example, even if he dislikes someone in his wife's clan, he will not deal with the wives and concubines he has brought in, and in the same way, even if he sees a concubine who is not pleasing to the eye, he will not treat his children harshly because of this, but the premise is not to touch his bottom line.
At that time, it was clear that the lord was weak and the minister was strong, but the king of Zhongshun County also relied on showing loyalty and selling miserably, so that Emperor Ming Yan accepted this queen, and he never dared to take credit for himself...... Now, Emperor Ming Yan has been in power for nearly 20 years, and his monarchy is very heavy, which is no longer comparable to the past.
The king of Zhongshun County has merit from the dragon, he still has a little concern for him, and even if he is ruthless to the queen, he also has a little respect.
Therefore, what they have to do now is to turn the situation around when this care and respect have not yet been polished away!
After all, the king of Zhongshun is a foreign minister, even if he comes by order, he can't stay long, and he will leave soon.
Since then, the queen has not been able to "recuperate", and even the invitation to peace has been exempted, and the imperial concubine is magnificent.
The storm in the harem is coming, and the previous dynasty is also approaching the period of the palace test.
The time of the palace examination is March 15, only one test is asked, the examination questions are generally drawn up by the cabinet first, and submitted to the emperor the day before the examination, but this time, the examination questions are prepared by Emperor Ming Yan himself.
The exam time is also one day, and the papers are submitted before sunset.
Then the examiner gathers the test papers and sends them to the sealing officer, who finishes sealing them and sends them to the examiner, who sends them to the East Pavilion and gives them to the examiner for review.
The scroll reading officer is selected from among the court officials who are born as jinshi, usually eight people, one table per person, and the reading is circulated in turn.
When commenting on the circle, add "○", "△", ""
", "|", "×" five kinds of marks, the one with the most "○" is a good volume. Then, among all the volumes, the most ten copies were selected and presented to the emperor, and the imperial approval was appointed.
The top three are the champions, the eyes of the list, and the flowers, and the first three people are called "Jinshi and the first", also known as "three tripods". A number of people in the second class, accounting for one-third of the admitted, are called "Jinshi origin", and the first name of the second class is Chuanyu. There are a number of top three, accounting for two-thirds of the admitted.
Finally, the list is filled in by the list filling officer.
The article has a fixed format, which starts with "the minister hears from the minister", and ends with "the minister learns from the new at the end, ignores the taboo, does the work and is strict, and the battle is invincible." Yes, you are right. ”
On March 15, Xu Wenqu and Tang Shirong entered the Fengtian Hall with everyone.
The palace test was nominally presided over by the emperor himself, but in fact, most of the time, it was just a symbolic meaning, but this time, Emperor Ming Yan personally presided over it.
This is good news for Xu Wenqu and Tang Shirong, who have seen Emperor Ming Yan many times.
Because both of them can be very calm, and some people, until they sit down, their hands are still shaking with excitement.
The palace test paper was sent, and the question was a sentence, "The gentleman is not compared with the week, and the villain is not compared with the week." ”
Xu Wenqu squinted slightly.
Almost everyone guessed that the question of this palace examination would be related to the reform of the imperial examination this time.
But today, there is such a problem.
The meaning of this sentence is that gentlemen are intimate and united without thinking of collusion, and villains collude with each other without intimacy and unity.
Clique.
What Emperor Ming Yan wanted to ask was how to solve the problem of friends.
Xu Wenqu closed his eyes and groaned.
Since he was a child, he has been reading quickly, and he has been quick to write articles. After a while, he opened his eyes and lifted his pen.
The palace exam has to be taken for a day, of course Emperor Ming Yan will not keep guarding, after lunch, he came over to take a look again, and then stood directly next to Xu Wenqu, and did not move, he finished reading the article and nodded slightly.
Everyone next to him, including the tributes in the examination room, had only one thought: "The champion is here!" ”
The palace examination was originally a double test of psychological quality and knowledge, and the final ranking depended on the emperor's likes and dislikes.
Sure enough, as soon as the yellow list came out, the emperor appointed Xu Wenqu as the champion, Tang Heng and Tang Wanbi as the leader, and Tang Shirong as the flower.
Since then, Xu Wenqu has become the only student who has been in the middle school for six yuan since the Dayan Dynasty, which is enough to go down in history.
Xu Wenqu and Tang Shirong didn't go to see the list, and it is said that Tang Wanbi didn't go either, so naturally they avoided the legendary lively "catching a son-in-law under the list".
Some people think that Yan Shiyue has made such a fuss, but he has made a fuss about all his own people, so he naturally can't help muttering.
But as soon as the article on the palace examination was announced, these people's discussions quickly stopped.
Not to mention anything else, Xu Wenqu's article is really a word for word, so that people can read it repeatedly, and they all feel that their teeth and cheeks are fragrant, such a masterpiece can be passed down through the ages, and it is well deserved.
After the first list of the palace examination is released, a roll call ceremony should be held in front of the palace, and the names of the admitted candidates will be announced in turn, which is the "Golden Palace Inheritance".
After the roll-call ceremony, the emperor will give a banquet to the priests in the Ministry of Rites.
Of course, before that, it was the most enthusiastic "cross-horse parade" in the drama and song.
Yan Shiyue went to Duanqing Bo's Mansion early in the morning, dragged Qin Shiniang out, occupied an excellent position, and drank two pots of tea, only to finally hear someone call: "The champion is here!" The champion is here! ”
