Dongyu country.

In the imperial kitchen, the water mist is thick and the fragrance is fragrant.

The slender and good-looking fingers of the slender and good-looking middle-aged man with a long figure opened the lid of the pot, took out the steamed dessert, and examined it, not too satisfied.

"You'll never be able to steam the flavor of the year." The man muttered in a low voice, put down the crystal beauty cream in his hand, and said to someone who was burning the fire in front of the stove: "Take it and throw it away." ”

"Don't." Someone who was burning the fire raised a smoky and extremely embarrassed face, and protected the crystal cake like a treasure: "Your Majesty, the minister's favorite." ”

The head of the imperial kitchen, who was doing chores in the imperial kitchen, raised his head and looked at His Majesty the Emperor who was about to throw things and the Prime Minister who was covered with smoke and dust, and even his hair was a little poked by the fire, and his flabby face twitched fiercely.

That's right, the one who cooks is their Dongyu Emperor Changsun Ce, and the burnt one is the Dongyu Prime Minister.

Hey, if you let the Kyushu countries know that their monarch of Dongyu loves to cook, he will also pull the prime minister to light the fire. I don't know how to feel. Don't they all say that gentlemen are far away from cooking. This is the dignified Emperor Dongyu.

Emperor Dongyu turned around, revealing a middle-aged, still handsome face.

took the wet towel handed over by the attendant and wiped his hands, Changsun Ce's expression was solemn, and he said lightly to the burning prime minister: "Kyushu Sai, have you inquired about the members of the missions excluded by various countries?" ”

The Prime Minister of the Burning Fire bowed and said, "Your Majesty, most countries are led by the crown prince or other princes, and only the Empress Nanyuan is sure to go." ”

Eldest Sun Ce raised his eyes suddenly, and then said, "I, too, go in person." ”

The Prime Minister of the Fire did not seem to be surprised by His Majesty's decision, a little helpless, and even glanced at the Emperor with a slight sympathy.

The head of the imperial kitchen glanced at the emperor and said in his heart, do you want to go to Tianchen in person to kidnap the prince and come back to inherit the great cause? I heard that the prince was reluctant to come back in Tianchen.

The eldest grandson went out of the imperial kitchen, returned to the dormitory, and looked at the old painting on the wall, slightly distracted.

Outside the palace, the pure nobles who had just entered the palace were clamoring to go in to find the emperor.

"Pure nobles should go back, any concubine in the harem is not allowed to enter the rules of Xuanning Palace, nobles won't be ignorant, right?" The palace guards coldly stopped the pure nobles who were dressed up in fancy clothes.

The pure nobleman arrogantly slapped the guard away and scolded: "A little guard dares to stop me." ”

Didn't you see that she has been the most pampered lately?

The guards were so frightened that they took a step back, trying to stop but not daring. It's not that he doesn't dare, but the pure nobleman is always scheming to touch him, where does he dare to really touch these concubines. If you do touch it, your head will move.

The pure nobleman took advantage of the guards' embarrassment and retreated, and swaggered into the dormitory.

......

No one knew what was going on in the dormitory, only that the pure nobleman let out a scream that was not like a human voice. Then he was carried out. Then, within a few days, it is said that the mother family of the pure nobleman was beheaded and exiled because of suspicion of rebellion or something.

Since then, no palace concubine has dared to step into the Xuanning Palace for half a step.

……

Time slipped by, and a month passed.

This month, Tianchen's triennial autumn festival is held.

Countless scholars who have been studying hard for years came to the capital early, waiting for this examination, hoping to be known to the world.

Among the powerful children in the Guozi Prison, some of them are very high-spirited and indeed talented, and they also went down one after another to participate in the scientific examination. Well, although by virtue of his status, he can enter the official career without the scientific examination, but the imperial court also has regulations that only those who have passed the scientific examination are eligible to have the opportunity to enter the cabinet at a young age.

Cabinet, that's the smoothest and closest way to a high position. The so-called non-Hanlin is not allowed to enter the cabinet, and non-Shujishi is not allowed to serve as the first assistant.

To be able to enter the Hanlin Temple, it is a high starting point to stand on the shoulders of the "giant".

And Duan Yiming continued his physique as a scholar, becoming the first in the examination, that is, Huiyuan. If he wins one more prize, he will achieve the only three-yuan tie in Tianchen within 20 years. The last three yuan and the first, or the current prime minister Xia Rengui.

Ten days later, the palace examination was held, the emperor personally presided over it, and the scope of the inspection was a policy discussion, so that the tributes who had overcome all the obstacles to enter the palace examination would write on the spot to discuss their own opinions on the four topics of "what is the real imperial pattern" and the people's livelihood.

Duan Yiming lived up to expectations, once again won the first place in the palace test, became the champion, and truly achieved the third yuan and the first. And Bangyan and Tanhua are both outstanding sons of powerful people from Guozijian.

According to the official system of the current dynasty, the first time of the palace examination will be directly entered into the Hanlin Academy, starting from the revision of the Hanlin Academy. At this point, the scientific research road of the ancient scholars has reached the highest place, and as for how far and how high the career can go in the future, it depends on personal talent and creation.

On the day of the release of the list, from the powerful in Beijing to the wealthy businessmen, how many people secretly stayed on the list, wanting to catch their sons-in-law under the list.

After all, the talents of Sanyuan and the first, for so many years, are only this one. And the reason why the big businessmen are bold and dare to come is naturally because they feel that Duan Yiming was born in Shengdu, and he is considered a poor child in this place.

How many big girls in Shengdu also sneaked out, wanting to see what this champion looked like.

It's just that what everyone who wanted to catch their son-in-law on the list never expected was that someone was dressed in a strong suit and rode a high-headed horse, and directly arrested Duan Zhuangyuan, who had just been wearing a big red flower and parading through the street according to the procedure.

The crowd shouted: Put him down, let me come.

Duan Zhuangyuan hugged the waist of the person holding him, turned around and replied loudly: I am already her person.

The man who captured the son-in-law: "...... Zhuang Yuanlang is so conservative, how can he act like a girl, and when he was touched, he promised him? ”

Girls: If I had known, I would have robbed it too. I don't know if it's too late to grab it now.

So, the robber dragged the champion Duan Yiming and ran forward.

Behind him, there was a string of people who wanted to catch their sons-in-law and those who wanted to rob their relatives.

Hao Se, who was watching this scene from afar, whistled frantically and called Xie Qingtian.

"Mighty on a sunny day!"

Hey, she just said, this Xie Qingtian has been pestering her every day to teach her to ride a horse recently, it turned out that she was going to catch her son-in-law, and she couldn't laugh anymore.

Jing Yi next to him, his face was full of envy, and he sighed quietly: "Alas, I really want to be robbed." ”

"Your Highness, these people are too exaggerated." Hao Se didn't bother to pay attention to his resentful words.

"Exaggerated?" Jing Yi glanced at her, "I'm afraid you don't know how difficult it is for Hanmen to be able to reach the first three yuan." ”

Jing Yi lightly swept Hao Se's blindness.

After a quick calculation in his heart, Hao Se's eyes widened slightly. Damn!

According to Jing Yi, this era.

Admission quota for Xiucai: about 30-40 people in a large county; There are about 10 people in small counties. Let's take an average of 25 talents in one county.

Admission quota: A total of about 110,000 people are admitted to Tianchen. After all, less than 400 people are admitted in a year across the country.

Jinshi admission quota: According to the data she found, there are about 2,600 Jinshi in the past 30 years, and they are evenly distributed every year, about 90 Jinshi are admitted across the country!

Every three years, among the 90 Jinshi, there is one champion.

Tianchen has a population of about 180 million ~ 200 million.

So what is the acceptance rate of champions?

Hauser jumped up.

Damn, this acceptance rate is much more exaggerated than modern times.

Counting the tributes who can enter the palace test, less than 10% of them are from poor families.

"Okay, learn the gods." Hauser pursed his lips.

"Your Highness, if you end up, are you sure you can win against Duan Yiming?" Hauser was curious. Don't they all say that Tianchen South Li North Beijing?

Jing Yi glanced at her and said lightly: "Your boyfriend is naturally a king at the top and a capable minister at the bottom." ”

He really didn't brag, although Duan Yiming was already a genius, he was still a little bit worse than the one surnamed Li, and he was naturally beaten and screamed...... In fact, there was never a winner.

Hao Se was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened: "My Highness, aren't you unambitious and uninterested in the throne?" ”

Jing Yi disagreed: "It didn't matter before. Now, naturally, it's different. ”

If he doesn't stand on the highest place, how can he protect her for the rest of her life, and how can he let her continue to be that glittering worker?
