In the general examination and the palace examination of the imperial examination, except for the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they can participate in the evaluation of the examination papers.

"Your Majesty, the first ten papers of this palace exam are all here." Pang Chunlai squinted his eyes, hung a pair of glasses on his chest, and handed the answer sheet to the female officer with a trembling forehead.

The female official forwarded it to Zhao Han and handed it over to the emperor for personal inspection.

The hall examination paper belongs to the ink paper, that is, the original paper answered by the candidate, and it is not copied as a red paper like the examination. If the candidate is recognized for his handwriting and has an elder as the marking boss, he can easily cheat.

Therefore, in the traditional palace examination papers, those with nepotism need to avoid suspicion.

Yang Tinghe did not avoid suspicion back then, and participated in the marking as the first assistant, but his son Yang Shen won the champion and has been complained about for hundreds of years.

The first-place volume, Zhao Han only swept a few lines of content, and knew that it must be the old list of scholars.

The articles of the new list of scholars are more straightforward, and there is often a sharp spirit that cannot be concealed.

As for the old list of scholars, the writing is more complicated, focusing on righteousness, more than calm and not enterprising.

The current policy is based on the scriptures, and the old man is serious. From ancient times to the present day,

I guess I also read newspapers and talk about the situation in overseas countries. Its core point is the Huayi debate, saying that while opening the sea trade, it cannot be affected by the Fanbang barbarians.

There should be a total ban on religion in Europe. In addition, in overseas Han settlements, local Han people should be encouraged to open schools.

There is literary brilliance, a stance, and a vision, and the reason is also correct, so it is no wonder that it was rated first by the cabinet ministers.

The second-place volume is estimated to be from the new list.

Let's talk about the importance of finance first, and it is because of the lack of money that the Ming Dynasty will fall into a dead circle of more and more peasant uprisings. When it comes to dynasties, the collapse of dynasties is often accompanied by financial collapse.

Talking about European colonizers, Spain, the Netherlands and other countries were driven by interests to colonize across the sea.

Therefore, this candidate emphasized that it is absolutely impossible to close the sea. In the benefits of trade in the four seas, if the European barbarians increase by one point, the Datong China will be reduced by one point. The emperor had already sent troops to control Ryukyu, Taiwan, Luzon and Quang Nam, and Batavia and Malacca had to be taken next.

He also said that the Silk Road should not be ignored in order to pay attention to maritime trade. When the population of the north is full, it should follow the example of the Han and Tang dynasties and seize control of the Western Regions. Once the Western Regions is controlled, it will not only be able to obtain the profits of land trade, but also cut off the foreign trade routes of the Mongolian steppe, which will also benefit the Mongols without harm.

This candidate also demarcated the sphere of influence for China in the future, that is, east of Malacca and east of the Seven Rivers Valley, which must be under the control of the Chinese imperial court.

"Okay, have a vision!"

Zhao Han was quite pleased, and drew a circle on the answer sheet.

The third answer sheet is written magnificently, and the writing can be called majestic. It's a pity that it's all correct nonsense, and Zhao Han threw it aside.

The first book to keep the promise was not ranked in the top ten at all, and Zhao Han quickly browsed to the twenty-first before encountering it.

All the ministers were a little apprehensive, because the emperor did not give them face at all.

According to the rules of the palace examination of the Ming Dynasty, the ranking of the cabinet ministers is generally not changed. Even if it is changed, it is from the top three or the top five or the top ten, and one of your favorite points is the champion.

The emperor himself read dozens of answer sheets, which was an expression of distrust of the minister.

Two hundred volumes is too much.

Zhao Han basically browsed quickly, and only read carefully when he met a satisfactory one, and personally flipped through the more than eighty copies in person.

He put a few of the best articles together and compared them repeatedly, and finally circled the top three.

happily said: "Let's dismantle the list here." ”

This is the errand of the rescue house.

In addition to being familiar with politics, the officials of the imperial house must also be excellent in calligraphy and excellent in writing, after all, they are the ones who usually write the holy decrees.

Today, the chief official of the house is called Yuan Jixian, a native of Yichun, Jiangxi. He was the highest envoy in Shanxi in the Ming Dynasty, and Fu Qingzhu was his student, and he helped Wang Tiaoding escort Chongzhen's children south.

Yuan Jixian opened the names on the answer sheet, and at the same time announced to the ministers one by one: Li Kaiji, a native of Luling, Jiangxi.

Leader: Zhang Shouyue, a native of Nanhai, Guangdong.

Tanhua: Shen Wei, a native of Yiyang, Hunan.

The average age of the southern scholars, who are all enlightened by traditional education and have received new education, is only 21 years old. Two graduated from Jinling University and one graduated from Guangzhou University.

The palace exam is not a test of knowledge, but a test of vision and thinking, and a test of their compatibility with the emperor or ministers.

The cabinet ministers were speechless, and at the same time they were mentally prepared for this.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Jixian picked up the red pen and wrote the names of these three people on the framed yellow list.

After writing the yellow list, Yuan Jixian began to write biographies again.

Shangbao's female official took the emperor's seal and asked Zhao Han to stamp the yellow list, and Song Yingxing took the yellow list to Fengtian Hall and handed it to Chen Maosheng, who was already waiting there. Yuan Jixian handed over the sticker to Zhang Dai, the secretary of Honglu Temple.

In the morning of the same day, the royal list was posted.

First announced the list of the three Jinshi, and Choi Wenxiu, a North Korean student, stood under the list and kept chanting: "Don't have me, don't have me!" ”

The scholars who have been admitted to the entrance examination will not be eliminated by the palace examination, and of course they don't want to appear on the third list.

Hebei scholar Li Jixiu also held this idea, but unfortunately he was disappointed after all.

He only took the seventh place in the three rankings.

Most of these achievements are directly thrown to the local government, and they are the sesame officials from the ninth grade, and then slowly rise by virtue of their political achievements and qualifications. Fortunately, the promotion path of the new dynasty is different, as long as it is a Jinshi background, the nine-rank official can also climb all the way up, unlike in the Ming Dynasty, at most he can be promoted to the seventh grade.

Then post the second list.

Wang Zunxun and Sun Chengen were the two champions of the Shunzhi Dynasty in history. Today, one is the first on the second list, and the other is the nineteenth on the second list.

Among them, Wang Zunxun's volume was judged to be the first by the Minister of the Cabinet, but it was taken down by Zhao Han.

"First and first!"

The central clerk shouted, took out the yellow list and posted it.

"Tanhua, Shen Gongwei, a native of Yiyang, Hunan, graduated from Jinling University!"

Shen Wei stood in the crowd, the smile on his face was a little innocent.

He was just an ordinary peasant, and before the Datong Army recovered Hunan, his family belonged to a homesteaders, and he couldn't even get the shackles of studying in the village school, so he could only stay outside the classroom and listen.

Then the household was divided, and Shen Wei also studied in a new-style primary school, and went all the way to Jinling University at public expense.

Moreover, when Shen Wei was in college, he changed some of Hunan's policies through his teachers to the imperial court.

"Congratulations to Brother Shen, congratulations to Brother Shen!"

"Rejoice, rejoice!"

Suddenly, a wealthy businessman rushed over, grabbed Shen Wei's sleeve and asked, "Has Shen Gongzi ever been married?" “

Shen Wei said: "There is a marriage contract. “

The wealthy businessman was immediately disappointed, and the eager people next to him also sighed and left.

Shen Wei was also lamenting that the female classmate who was in love with him was the only daughter of a wealthy businessman, and her parents agreed to the marriage only if they wanted to live or die.

"Bangyan, Zhang Gong abides by the promise, a native of Nanhai, Guangdong, graduated from Guangzhou University!"

The scholars over there in Guangdong suddenly burst into cheers and cheered around Zhang Shouyue to celebrate.

A group of businessmen rushed to Zhang Shouyue again, and hurriedly asked about the marriage, Zhang Shouyue smiled: "Don't hide it, the dog is already one and a half years old." ”

Well, this one has a son.

"Champion, Li Gongji, a native of Luling, Jiangxi, graduated from Jinling University."

Suddenly, a scholar shouted mischievously: "Zhuang Yuanlang is not married yet, and there is no marriage contract,

Grab your son-in-law under the list! ”

Li Kaiji was so frightened that he ran away, and ran all the way back to the inn before giving up.

Standing in the guest room, Li Kaiji tidied up his clothes, raised three fingers and said: "I swear today that I will do my best to make every effort to Your Majesty Yu Yao Shunye!" “

Shen Wei used to be a homesteaders. Tanhua Zhang kept the promise, and his family has always been a wealthy businessman.

And the champion Li Kaiji, whose parents are military households in the suburbs of Luling County, is to put it bluntly, to be a serf for a military attaché. For as long as he can remember, there has not been a day when he has eaten enough, and the eldest brother and third sister have starved to death.

It wasn't until Zhao Han came with the Datong army, occupied Luling County, and divided the fields among the military households, that Li Kaiji finally turned over.

The father and eldest brother are dead, and the second brother has become the pillar of the family, although it is still very hard.

But ploughing his own fields is indescribably enjoyable every day.

The eldest brother-in-law is also a military household, who joined the army to fight with His Majesty, and is now the commander of the Seventh Division of the Datong Army. If it weren't for the poor cultural background and the fact that I couldn't write a few words, I am afraid that I would have already become a brigade commander, after all, the qualifications for joining the army are there.

Life at home is better every day.

There has been no major disaster in Luling County, and the food grown cannot be eaten at all. The old mother occasionally made some food and asked the second sister-in-law to sell it in the city, and the second sister-in-law could make money by spinning yarn herself. There are still chickens and ducks at home, and the second brother is a good farmer, so he bought pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Li Kaiji with the extra money.

His Majesty the Emperor is still alive, and his family does not dare to set up a god throne for the Emperor. The old mother is the first day of the new month,

They will go to the mountains on the outskirts of the county to incense the martyrs at the Heroic Soul Temple, and at the same time thank His Majesty the Emperor for his reconstruction.

The old mother often said: "Third son, Your Majesty's kindness, where can our family afford it?" You have to study well, be a good official in the future, and do good things for Your Majesty. “

Just when Li Kaiji was recalling the past, a classmate's shout came from downstairs: "Lao Li, Lao Li, come down to pick up guests!" ”

"Bang bang bang!"

Then came the sound of crackling firecrackers.

The innkeeper held firecrackers and set off firecrackers, and the shopkeeper shouted with a smile: "Today's room and food are all 20% off!" Xinke Zhuangyuanlang lives in our store! Whoever comes to stay in the hotel in the future can get the joy of Wenquxing. The children live in the hotel, all of them are smart and smart. Scholars live in the store, all high school kings! I will suggest to the owner that the name of the inn be changed to Zhuangyuan Building! Throw the money! “

"Good!"

The shopkeepers scattered copper coins all over the ground, and passers-by frantically scrambled.

It's not to grab money, after all, no matter how sharp your hands and feet are, you have to wait to grab three or five more articles, purely to get the luxury of Wen Quxing.

Form matters.

The significance of the resumption of the imperial examination is not only to standardize the selection of officials, but also to have another symbol in the hearts of the common people.
