Chapter 256: The Palace Examination

Fang Ruohua didn't interject, only looked at it casually, the one headed by it was Huiyuan, Zhang Shiqi of Bailu Academy, who was only thirty years old this year, and rarely had a talent, if it weren't for the delay in the imperial examination because of his filial piety one after another, I am afraid that this Jinshi would not be able to delay it now.

Noticing that Fang Ruohua was looking at him, he also turned his head and arched his hand, so that he didn't show the arrogance in the mouth of others.

Another more conspicuous one is Xue Hong, who is the ninth in this department, is the youngest son of Dingguohou, who is just twenty-one years old this year, and has signed a marriage contract with Princess Mingxia.

In the Great Zhou, the horse does not affect the career, on the contrary, the royal family still has the habit of letting the princess marry the important ministers, it can be said that Princess Shang is definitely the best way to climb to the sky in one step and struggle for 30 years.

At this time, Xue Hong had a warm smile on his face, and it seemed that the spring breeze was proud, so that it didn't look like anything was going wrong.

As mentioned in the original text, it was at an important juncture of the examination, but Xue Hong was anxious because of Princess Mingxia's affairs, and this subject fell to the top, and since then it has been sluggish, and then it took ten years to regain his strength, win the championship in one fell swoop, and be the champion in high school.

Fang Ruohua felt that although he successfully participated in the examination this time, he might not be able to win the top prize, but it was definitely much better than him spending ten years.

Really passed this threshold and entered the officialdom, it doesn't matter if it is the champion or not, the champion is one every three years, countless, and how many can be extremely popular? If you don't get the top score, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour or so, the eunuch came out to announce the decree and ordered the tributes to enter the Taihe Palace.

Fang Ruohua followed everyone and saluted, looking up at the emperor on the throne without a trace. He was not far away, and his eyesight was good, so that he could see clearly, this emperor was of average appearance, with a dark complexion, but he looked very young, and there was a thirty-year-old prince, but his person looked about the same as forty years old.

The prince is also there, compared with the emperor, the prince's appearance is much more handsome, and he can even be called a beautiful man, described as gentle and elegant, bookish, and very majestic, seeing the emperor beckoning, calling him to his side to talk, his eyebrows and eyes stretched, obviously at present, the relationship between father and son is okay.

At least the emperor should be quite satisfied with his crown prince.

The scholars sat down, and His Majesty groaned a little and wrote the title. The examiner reads out the test questions.

Fang Ruohua thought about it slightly, the emperor is asking about military affairs, there is a lot to say about this question, remembering that Sun Fenglei mentioned that His Majesty has recently felt that the armaments of the Great Zhou Dynasty are lax, corrupt, and intent on reform.

After a moment of silence, he did not understand the style that the tributes were more accustomed to over the years, and sprinkled thousands of words with his pen, and did not talk much about the present, only from the leadership system, ideological propaganda, and logistics system to talk about how he thought the military system should be, and also involved some military discipline laws and regulations, training methods, which can be said to be a different way, and the surrounding candidates figured out their intentions, or supported reform, or opposed reform.

He wrote in a chic manner, and left the palace easily after writing, but he didn't know that the examiner read his test papers, and almost quarreled, some felt that the article was well written, sharp, and very good, and some felt that it was pure delusion, rhapsody, and crazy.

As a result, the test paper was not sent to His Majesty for a long time, so the prince was ordered to come over and take a look, and after taking a look, he smiled and said: "Don't say anything else, this pen is really good." ”

And it's familiar.

After reading it carefully, the prince applauded and said three 'good' words in a row.

When the official reading the scroll boarded, he stopped making noise, looked at each other, thought about it, and put the scroll in front of the court and presented it to the emperor.

The prince is optimistic, they can't be lazy, but the prince is just the prince after all, if he says it, he pulls this test paper too high, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

A group of ministers don't know how many turns they turn in their minds for a moment.

The emperor did not think the same as the ministers, his views on political affairs and the crown prince still had something in common, and he smiled when he read this volume: "Okay, this article can be sent to the cabinet elders to see, although there are some places that are out of place, but I can't stop reading it, and I feel that it is reasonable." ”

After thinking about Fang Ruohua's voice and age, the emperor pondered for a moment, "It's not a good thing to be too young, it's not a good thing to be too popular, so I will call him a tanhua." ”

As for the champion, he still ordered Huiyuan Zhang Shiqi, and the list eye is a middle-aged man in his forties, named Qi Wenyuan, the article is old and spicy, and he really does better than the champion, but he is too clumsy, and too stable, and the palace test is not particularly pleasing.

Three days later, the edict was issued, Fang Ruohua knew that he was named a flower tanhua, Sun Fenglei laughed: "The junior brother in the Zhongjin Shili is good-looking, Feng Yijia is indeed a flower tanhua." ”

Fang Ruohua: "......"

He decided to leave a painting to commemorate it, take a look, but if you are serious about going through the imperial examination, eighty percent of the ten articles are either champions, or tanhua, and there are very few eyes, as for the first class or below, there are very few.

Well, it seems that there are a lot of second-class students recently.

Is he also a serious male protagonist this time?

After what emperor gave a banquet, what crossed the horse to parade the streets, a series of procedures were completed, and there was no need to participate in the court examination, Fang Ruohua became the editor of the Hanlin Academy.

Being an official for the first time in his life, he didn't know what to do at all, and Fang Ruohua was a housegirl who even felt that it was impossible to get admitted to the civil service examination and that it was too troublesome.

Sun Fenglei took the letter from his teacher, and resigned himself to finding the little junior brother to break up all kinds of officialdom customs and taboos and crumple them and tell him: "The saint is fifty years old this year, although he has established the prince, but the prince was seriously ill a few years ago, and there are few directors, the five princes are all crowned county kings, and most of the foreign families behind them are nobles, each with their own plans, and they have been facing each other for many years, and the prince's health has improved recently, and they have only stopped, but I am afraid that these few will not be willing, and there will be a follow-up, after you enter the court, you must not mix with these things...... There are a lot of rights and wrongs in the Hanlin Academy, I can only say that in the future, listen more and watch more and talk less......"

After explaining this, he also arrested his youngest son's strong man and asked him to handle the purchase of various gifts, so that Fang Ruohua could return to his hometown and get married by the way.

Before taking office, it is already common practice for new science and technology scholars to return to their hometowns to visit relatives.

As a result, before the things were ready, the eunuch came to deliver the decree, and His Majesty rewarded him with a lot of gold and jade, as well as a hundred precious books.

Not to mention Fang Ruohua, even Sun Fenglei was a little confused, when the previous dynasty was rewarded with a first-class to show the grace of heaven, now after His Majesty ascended the throne, everything was simple, and there were not so many twists and turns.

Sun Fenglei frowned, and asked people to inquire, I heard that the champion and the list, and a few scholars who performed well in the palace test were rewarded, so they were relieved: "Don't think about it, Your Majesty's reward is decent, go back quickly, there must be a lot of worries at home." ”

Fang Ruohua bowed his head, and as soon as the Hanlin Academy was allowed to leave, he left Beijing directly on the official ship.
