Yixinyuan's shopkeeper was very rewarding, and within two days, most people in the capital knew the content of the article written by Shu Mulu Yuxiu.

In accordance with the instructions given by Yinzhen, Shu Mulu wrote a speech on how to encourage the people who participated in the imperial examination this year to be divided into two factions, one group was in favor of Kangxi's reform, and the other group insisted on taking the examination of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Shu Mulu Yuxiu's writing style is good, and the articles he writes are very encouraging.

Those who were unhappy in their hearts had nothing to say, and the idea of being superior to each other arose in their hearts.

Yuan Kai, who was reading in his study, also heard his subordinates talk about this matter, and knew in his heart that this was probably the handiwork of the fourth elder brother in the palace.

After Yuan Kai found out, he didn't inquire more, and began to read books every day to discuss political affairs with Marfa, and occasionally went out to gather with the same students, and his life was very leisurely.

Because the Suo Yuluo family is full, Yuan Kai said that he already has a plan and does not need to worry about his family, so the Suo Yuluo family is basically very calm, but the capital is not as calm as the Suo Yuluo family.

In ancient times, the imperial examination was basically the only way out for scholars, and if something went wrong in the middle, it meant that they had to spend their lives in mediocrity.

Therefore, the scholars in the capital are basically discussing and panicking, and only a small number of Manchu families with family backgrounds are also discussing, but they are not too worried.

After all, for them, the imperial examination is just one of the ways to enter the official career, and in addition to this way, they have other ways to enter the official career.

Although the discussion in the capital continued, but it did not affect the arrival of the list, after a burst of gongs, drums and firecrackers, all the lifters were relieved, because the number of people who became Jinshi this year was nearly twice as much as in previous years, and many people who felt hopeless were in Jinshi, and for a time sang the poems of Kangxi Rende, which was not uncommon.

Although there are many Zhongjin scholars, it doesn't seem to have much to do with Kangxi's benevolence, but Kangxi is the emperor after all, who can say these things clearly!

After the release of the list, the lifters were relieved, and they completely accepted it, and they wanted to compete with the lifters who were good at doing the reformed test questions, and for a while the capital returned to its former peaceful and lively life.

After a while, it was time for the temple test.

This year's palace exam questions are still produced by Kangxi himself, and the test questions are divided into two parts, one is the same type of questions as the previous ones, and the other is a more "science" question type, including most of the questions on the Four Books and Five Classics, and a small part of arithmetic, geometry, customs and folklore, and even astronomy and geography.

Before the palace examination, Kangxi ordered all the participants in the palace examination to choose which set of questions they wanted to do, and after the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette completed the statistics, they would start the exam to do the questions.

As a result of the selection of the test papers, one-third of the people were willing to do the "science" papers, and the remaining two-thirds chose the original test question type papers.

All in all, there aren't many people willing to try something new.

In fact, there should be fewer people who chose to prefer "science" papers, but Yinzhen expected that kind of situation in advance, and secretly let people move for a long time, so that there was finally this kind of result that one-third of people were willing to try.

As Yuan Kai, who knows the details of Yinzhen, he has a strong knowledge reserve in his mind, so he naturally chooses to try new things.

The time of the temple examination passed quickly, and the examiners felt that it would not be long before it was over.

At night, Kangxi looked at the two dozen test papers in front of him, and his eyes shone with an inexplicable light.

Yuan Kai finished the palace examination, left the palace with the other candidates, and then said a few words to familiar people, and then stepped into the carriage with the symbol of the Suo Yuluo family and went home.

Sitting in the carriage, Yuan Kai thought about this palace test, and remembered the modern education system that Ama and the others had said, and felt that the fourth elder brother might really be able to succeed.

It's really hard to say what the future holds!
