This time, the chief examiner of the official department Shangshu Koubo, the deputy chief examiner of the Hanlin Academy edited Ouyang An, in the house of the Gongyuan to the Wensheng and the sons of incense, all the invigilators of the great gifts to worship, in the small box in front of the incense case sealed the exam questions of this exam, the exam questions are Guo Xing, Guo Xing has great expectations for this exam, hoping to produce some useful talents.

Kou Bo, the secretary of the ministry, was also nervous for a while, he was named a heavenly official by Emperor Guo Xing, and he was also under pressure, knowing that Emperor Guo Xing attached great importance to this big exam, and at the same time he was the head of the boss of the ministry.

I looked at the time, and when it was time, I said, "The time is coming, open the box and take the question" When the box is opened, there must be a deputy chief examiner and the person in charge of the army who protects the examination room at the same time to check that the seal of the examination box is correct before it can be opened in person.

After the three of them converged, check the seal and unpack the question, the first question appeared [On the Han and Tang Dynasties on the outside of the heavy and the inside light, the Song Dynasty outside the light and the inside of the heavy each have their own gains] The first day of the test is the historical theory, which is the inherent form, so Guo Xing's first question is to let the lifters talk about the gains and losses of the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, these three dynasties have left a heavy mark in history, the Han and Tang dynasties will not say anything, the economy of the Song Dynasty is highly developed but it has also lost its deer, this is to ask history, with the history of the mirror, look at the gains and losses of the predecessors, and the descendants will not forget.

The question is not difficult, but if you want to answer it well, it will be difficult, the key is to have your own opinion, and you must show your own ruling ideology in the answer, and the time is two hours in the morning, that is, five hours.

At the current time, it will end at half past eleven, and then eat and rest for half an hour, and the examination room is a simple small standard room, which can rest and have a bathroom. After getting the exam questions, the candidates will take the exam and write the draft, and after the draft is completed, they will officially answer.

Soldiers on patrol, as well as invigilators, must not walk too loudly. Guo Xing and several members of the cabinet also paid attention to the movements of the examination room at all times, and did not dare to be negligent.

Time passed quickly, the morning passed, the chief examiner department Shangshu Kou Bo, the deputy chief examiner Hanlin Academy editor Ouyang An, and the deputy governor of the Gyeonggi Yamen Liu Nian converged to take out the second question [On whether the Great Jin Dynasty and the prairie can coexist], which is very difficult.

The high-ranking officials all know the attitude of the emperor towards the prairie today, which is absolutely impossible to coexist, and the crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty died in the assassination of the prairie people, which is a great shame for the imperial family, and this revenge cannot be avenged.

But there are still a large number of people who can't understand the essentials of it, and they start to write about benevolence, righteousness, morality, etc., to influence barbarians, etc., and there are a lot of nerds in this category, who simply don't listen to things outside the window and only read the books of sages.

Many people are analyzing the exam questions before the exam, thinking that there should be questions in this year's exam, and now they see that it is really out, and the candidates who know it are very happy, the Xixi hired by the family bet on the right question, and the words reveal the coexistence of the different prairies in the Great Jin Jue, the Xixi are all learned people, and they are good at analyzing, when what kind of person is today, there has already been analysis, so these candidates write it effortlessly.

The first day of the exam passed, the candidates in their own hut thinking about the gains and losses of today's answers, the next day to the chief examiner department Shangshu Koubo, the deputy chief examiner Hanlin Academy editor Ouyang An, the deputy chief of the Gyeonggi Yamen Liu Nian three people converged to take out today's exam questions, today's exam content is five art strategies, [on agriculture] [on business] [on taxation] [on etiquette] [on law] five questions, as long as you finish answering the paper in the afternoon, the topics are very wide, and the candidates are free to play.

The third day of the exam is mainly titled "The Way of the University, in Mingmingde, in the people, and in the ultimate goodness". The second title is "Neutrality and Neutrality", and the third title is "To the people of the world, gather the world's own goods, trade and retreat, and each has its own righteousness".

It's the same day, you can leave the examination room after answering the questions today, so far the end of the exam, the admission ratio is ten to one, only more than 200 people can enter the palace exam among more than 2,000 people now, it is very cruel, after the test you will enter the ranks of "scholars", one step of heaven, one step of hell.

The three-day exam is over, and the lifters have begun to form gangs and call friends to relax, the business of the hotel brothel is exceptionally good, and the admission list will be announced in about five days, and the main examiner and the deputy examiner can not leave the examination room until the list comes out.

The candidates spent the past five days like a year, and on this day there was a special wall outside the examination room, and the crowds were surging before dawn to see the list, some came by themselves, and some came from the next people, so it was not lively. As soon as the time came, the special officers came out and pasted five large pieces of paper in front of the wall, on which were densely packed with people's names, and a total of two hundred and thirty people were on the list. When I saw my name, I cried and cried with joy, and what I didn't see my name was lost and depressed, and I walked away numbly, and there were all kinds of flavors in the world.

Those who pass the exam go to the Ministry of Etiquette for a day of etiquette training, and then prepare for five days to take the temple examination, which is the final examination room, which is related to their life.

Only after the palace test can be an official, after the test can be tax-free at home, but a large part of the people can not be officials, the palace test is different, half of the people in the palace test are directly released from the official, this is the court for Tian Shelang, twilight on the Tianzi Hall.

Two hundred and thirty lifters waited at the noon gate, went up to the temple with the officials, lined up according to the ranking of the examination, and were led by special people, and walked to the Chaotai Chi Hall. Guo Xing walked to the main hall and sat on the dragon chair, and the hundred officials were lined up on both sides after shouting long live, and then the sons of the people went to the hall to face the saints.

The Taiji Hall is a very large hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people and is loose, and it is a large hall specially used for this hall test. All the people came to the hall to call long live, and then under the busyness of the eunuchs, the seats for the examination were put up, the four treasures of the study room were ready, and the candidates were seated.

The other ministers all retreated, only the ministers of the second grade and above were present, and they were all arranged with seats, after all, the time of the exam was not short, Guo Xing walked to the front of the stage and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been in the country for more than 160 years, first of all, the country and the people are safe, only the war between the north and the prairie continues, and the war will cost a considerable amount of money, food and property, so the topic of this palace examination is [the country is strong and the people are rich], you can play freely."

The exam questions are down, many people do not write, but quietly think about the four words "strong country and rich people", it seems simple, but there are many articles that can be done in it, as Guo Xing said, free play, written according to their own minds, how to be considered a strong country, how to be considered a rich people.

Not only the ministers present were thinking, but the ministers were also thinking about this problem, and some old oilmen sensitively felt that the emperor would make a move after this palace test, but they didn't know if the action was good or bad.

There are a lot of talents in this examination, and famous talents from various states have come, such as Wang Zhen who ranked first, Zhuge Xuan who ranked second, Lu Xuan who ranked third, and so on. After the candidates finish answering the papers, they will be read by the main examiner, and the good ones will be handed over to the cabinet ministers, and some will be handed over to Guo Xing Yulan, and then the discussion will determine the champion of Jinke, Bangyan, and Tanhua.

These three people are the first class jinshi to go directly to the Hanlin Academy for internship, and then the second class and the third class, the second class jinshi 50 go directly to the ministries to observe the government, and the third class jinshi 80 are released to the county as officials, and the rest depends on the will of God.

Guo Xing announced the conditions for the cabinet to enter the cabinet after the cabinet staffing was complete, first of all, Hanlin was born, and secondly, there must be the experience of a local governor of a province, and then another is to have the resume of the six ministries of the country, only by meeting these three conditions can you have the qualification to enter the cabinet, Hanlin is born on behalf of its own talent is no problem, the governor of a state represents that you have the experience of governing the local area and understand the needs of the people, and the resume of the six ministries represents that the problem should be viewed from the overall situation of the country.

These three requirements have been unanimously approved by the cabinet, and the members of the cabinet themselves are basically from Hanlin, and they have all let go of the governor of a state, and they have held positions in the six ministries, so the three conditions proposed by Guo Xing are acceptable, and other officials have also passed the approval.

Guo Xing also stipulates that if someone is not from Hanlin, but with the resume of the local governor and the six ministers, he needs to go to the Hanlin Academy to study for a year, so that he can also have the qualification to enter the cabinet.

This is the first time that the conditions for the selection of cabinet ministers have been clarified, and if you want to become a cabinet minister, then you must work in three directions to increase your resume, which can be regarded as setting a clear goal for the minister.

The lifters are writing in the hall, the ministers are watching from the side, the time flies quickly, it is noon in a blink of an eye, no one has mentioned the problem of eating, according to the rules, as long as one person is still answering the questionnaire, the ministers and the emperor can not leave, in order to show respect for the national ceremony.

The answering time can be dark at the latest, Guo Xing turned his head and looked at Zhou Quan, Zhou Quan understood, and hurriedly walked to Guo Xing's side, Guoxing lowered his head and said, "You let the imperial dining room prepare some snacks, give one to the lifters present, and then give one to the ministers and me, and at the same time 10,000 tea for one person" Zhou Quan nodded and went out to prepare, Guo Xing looked at Xiamen's move and sighed with emotion in his heart, it was not easy.

After a while, Zhou Quan led a team of eunuchs and began to put a plate of snacks on each candidate's table, all the people present were shrewd people, and they understood what was going on when they thought about it.
