With a few whips, the Shao music in the original Jiying Hall suddenly stopped.

The ceremonial officer drank the order.

Yesterday, when the number plate was received, the ceremonial officials of the Taichang Yuan had explained in detail the etiquette of the face saints in the palace, and at this moment, after listening to the order of the ceremonial officials, the tributes knelt down on the ground.

A moment later, as the Son of Heaven entered the temple, the ceremonial officials issued an order, and the tributes bowed again and again.

The hall was very quiet, except for the orders of the ceremonial officials, only the sound of the soldiers falling up and their clothes were heard.

Gu Yanzhang's heart was not the slightest nervous, only slightly excited, and slowly adjusted his heartbeat while leaning down together.

The last step.

Years of hard work, day and night, but for the sake of the present.

At this time, all we can do is do our best and listen to the fate of "heaven".

With the last one getting up, the procedure was finally completed, and under the guidance of the attendants, the candidates pressed their number plates, looked for their own tables, and took their seats.

Gu Yanzhang's seat is at the east end, and it is also the closest place to the dragon chair.

The table is three feet long, and there is a wooden plaque in the upper left corner, on which is written the candidate's name and place of origin, and is covered with a blank paper, which is used to copy the examination questions of the temple and the grass.

Not long after he sat down, the lieutenant began to hand out the exam questions one by one.

"I am thin, and I have been inherited...... And virtue has not arrived, faith has not been fulfilled, there is still a lack of government, and there is still a victory in hypocrisy. Dun is simple to demonstrate, and those who exceed the system are still numerous; Admiration and mercy are punished with auspiciousness, and those who resist the law are still many; Yan into the Shi's Tu, and Quan Cao is still not clear...... Tuntian accumulates grain, or thinks that soldiers are not as good as farmers; Choose a handsome side, or think that literature is not as good as martial arts. ”

"The art of relieving the malpractice is the right time, and the doctor is also talking about it, and he is careful to deal with the ......"

At the end, I have to add a sentence, "If it is empty words and does not supplement the truth, and blames the past and does not benefit the present, it is not what I want to hear." ”

Hundreds of words, in fact, to sum up, compared with the questions of the previous palace exams, it is just a change of soup but not a change of medicine - I have been in power for many years, the people's livelihood is difficult, the storage is insufficient, the offenders are constantly banned, the war is continuous, the way of governing the country, the feelings of the state and county, all the scholars should not hide it, and they are outspoken and bold about my political failures!

Such a topic is too easy to write and too difficult to write.

There are more than 400 people in the palace examination, and it is estimated that more than half of them have written articles on similar topics.

Why is it that as soon as the provincial test list is released, as long as there are some capable people, they will try to invite the elders to take them and visit the important ministers in Beijing?

It's just to figure out the current mind through those courtiers who get along with the Son of Heaven day and night.

The examiners who are responsible for evaluating the rankings, whether they are in charge of the first examination and judging the ranking, or the repeat examiner, or the detailed judge who finally decides the ranking, are all court officials from the third rank to the seventh rank in the court.

All of them are from the top of the front hall test, and the detailed officials who have the right to decide the rank are not the six Shangshu and the squire, or the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory - speculating on the holy will, they are all good hands.

If you can't guess what the Son of Heaven thinks in his heart, the top three that are set out, in the eyes of His Majesty, are sparse and ugly, and what will happen to his career in the future, you can also imagine.

Every time the entrance examination is held, not only the candidates are nervous, but the examiners are not easy.

After reading the topic a few more times, Gu Yanzhang settled down.

He picked up his pen and began to solve the problem.

Compared with ordinary scholars, Gu Yanzhang's advantages are too obvious.

Before entering Liangshan, he was influenced by Ji Qingling, and what he heard and heard was a hundred years later, the experience gained by a top minister and eunuch who had encountered a wall for many years and had broken his head and shed blood, maybe it was just a few words that he learned from daily chat, or maybe it was a detailed description in Ji Qingling's article.

He was born extremely smart, and he used to be a merchant, so he would cherish it more than ordinary children.

is like what Gu's father once said, the difference between a giant and an ordinary person is actually just the word "don't let go".

The giants will not let go, they all want, even hardship, even perseverance, and even perseverance.

He has no shortage of these.

In just a few months, he almost completely absorbed everything that Ji Qingling taught him.

In the two college examinations of Liangshan and Qingming, he was able to win the first place in the two academies, in addition to his natural talent, he did not stand on the ideas of those famous ministers.

When I entered the Deliangshan Academy, it was Liu Boshan who worshipped him, a down-to-earth, dedicated to learning, not only floating on paper, but also practicing in practice.

After several years of studying under famous teachers and studying hard, he was already ahead of the crowd in his literary talent, and although he was only in Yanzhou for half a year, he experienced something that the rest of the candidates may not have experienced in their lives.

Before the fall of Yanzhou, the Gu family had been rooted in Yanzhou for hundreds of years, and knew everything about the borderlands, and after the fall, he and Ji Qingling had never been cut off, almost for many years, through various ways and methods, the intelligence collection and analysis of the northwest war situation, geography, and humanities.

Even if there are officials who come up from the lock hall, how many of them in the hall can transfer the three armies of the Northwest Assistant? There are a few former commanders, and who can be like him, forced to thoroughly study the structure and operation of a state's official office in a short period of time?

In this way, he wants to "speak boldly" and "have something to say" about today's political affairs, and before he has put pen to paper, his heart is more than a step higher.

On the one hand, many students take it for granted, relying on ancient and modern history books, scripture notes, and the words of their ancestors to compose, on the other hand, he concentrates on careful research, has real practice, and relies on his own experience to compose.

In the question of the Son of Heaven, he mentions those who exceed the system, those who resist the law, agricultural affairs, and military affairs, and for each of them, he can cite specific examples, from the surface to the inside, and to put it in depth.

The officials in the Dingyao Mountains in Yanzhou, the officials in the state government, the transfer before the battle, and the ownerless barren land.

How to write this pile, piece by piece, in order to grasp that degree, which has depth and does not become a "criticism of politics", all depends on his pen to write the Spring and Autumn Period.

He knelt on the futon and put his thoughts together.

The requirements for the palace test are more than 1,000 words, and he writes about the dragon and snake, and in the blink of an eye, the framework of a thousand words is set up.

Gu Yanzhang wrote very seriously, so naturally he didn't notice that in this Jiying Palace, just behind his house, the two of them had been staying in that place for a long time.

And the invigilators in charge of the inspection in the palace, although they were still patrolling between the books, their eyes looked over in unison.

Just a few steps away, behind him, there was a yellow door, and a little in front of the yellow door, when Jinzi was standing there, staring at him and finishing the draft word by word. 21010
