Soft as jade, fragrant in the arms.

After tossing and turning clouds and rain for half a night, Zhu Youzhen did not feel the slightest discomfort.

After all, although psychologically, the woman in front of her does not have much intersection with herself.

But reliving a lifetime, I am no longer the original self.

Zhu Youzhen didn't care about details like this.

After all, he knew that the Empress Zhou in front of him could be said to be a thoroughly good woman.

Also a good queen.

Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to imagine what would happen to this huge palace and the relatives of the Ming Dynasty in the Manchu Dynasty if the Ming Dynasty was shattered.

Although history has been written, there is only one way to die.

Think about it, why do you keep the old royal family after the change of dynasty?

Waiting for a rebellion?

Leaning on the edge of the bed, Zhu Youzhen always felt that something was almost between his fingers.

Subconsciously touched the side of the pillow and found that this is not the afterlife.

The appearance of cigarettes is still far from the current Daming.

It's okay not to smoke it.

I haven't enjoyed a few days of happiness as an emperor.

It's good to live longer.

Empress Zhou was already asleep.

The girl's feelings are always so intoxicating.

Presumably tonight, the news that the emperor stayed here overnight will be spread by those who have a heart.

But for this matter, there have been no impermeable walls since ancient times.

Zhu Youzhen didn't care.

And when the time comes, the officials above the court who are staring at whether they have left heirs all day long can also breathe a sigh of relief.

……

"The new imperial examination is beneficial to the country and the people, and everyone participates in promoting the Ming Dynasty!"

"Apply what you have learned, unify the old with the new!"

"Welcome all students to apply for the Royal School of Management!"

"Rejuvenate the country with literature, and Anbang with martial arts! Welcome to the Royal Army Academy of Daming! ”

The new imperial examination finally ushered in the last day, and all the students arrived at Shuntianfu, that is, the capital, as scheduled.

Outside the test center, countless people are looking forward to it.

The student also lowered his head and looked at the books prepared in his hands silently.

Today's exam has a lot of decisions, and it determines whether they can achieve three consecutive levels and enter graduate school.

It's just that they're not the only ones who are nervous.

Even the Dongchang factory guards who were in charge of security tasks at the scene looked very dignified.

Zhu Youzhen attaches great importance to this exam, and not only builds a special examination room for him.

A large number of factory guards were also specially dispatched to protect the order of the examination room from being disturbed.

And this time, the lineup of invigilators is also luxurious, and not only the cabinet of scholars are in charge of serving as examiners at various examination centers.

There are also a few researchers from the Daming Royal Academy of Sciences, who have also come out and toured various examination centers.

"Bell, bell!"

It's still the familiar gong, and it's still the same layout of the exam room as before.

"The last of the Ming Dynasty's new-style imperial examinations!"

"It's time for the exam!"

After the examiner announced the start of the exam, all the candidates present began to answer the paper, and the content of the paper was very different from the previous one.

The third level did not have the difficult questions that all candidates thought were difficult.

Instead, open the whole roll.

Only at the beginning of the roll lay quietly a line of words.

"What do you think the ideal Daming should look like?"

Zhu Youzhen prepared an open proposition for all students at the last level.

And because it is an open-ended proposition, what the answerer says can be as shocking as possible.

Talking without being shocked is what Zhu Youzhen is most happy to see.

I'm not afraid that you dare to think too much, but I'm afraid that you don't dare to think about it.

And this test paper will also determine the final score of all candidates.

All the results before this exam are not important, only Zhu Pi, which means that he passed the exam, is not important.

can represent the full end of this exam.

And there will only be one examiner, and that is Zhu Youzhen himself.

Although this kind of thing is a very heavy work for Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen also used a little means.

Arrange in advance for Wang Chengen to find a lot of clever little eunuchs in the palace and conduct a preliminary screening of all the test papers.

Sent to the East Warm Pavilion in batches.

At the beginning of the answer sheet, some people answered with a pen in confidence, and some people lowered their heads and thought, wrote and drew on the scratch paper on the side, and listed them first.

But the end result is all the same.

"Bell, bell!"

Three more gongs were sounded, and all the candidates understood that the exam was over anyway.

As soon as these candidates walked out of the examination room, the first candidates who went out were pulled out of the crowd by local officials who had traveled thousands of miles to the capital to accompany the exam.

Everybody is asking.

"Is the topic difficult?"

"How's it going?"

"Do you feel sure?"

"Can I get in?"

Such a question kept emerging in the crowd, and the factory guard in charge of the inspection in the distance also smiled, and the gold-lettered plaque of "Teaching Party" was too tempting.

It was a temptation that almost all local officials could not refuse.

This signboard not only represents how good the local students can be in the local area who have passed the three levels.

What's more important is that he can appear in the emperor's field of vision.

for courtiers.

The most feared thing is not waiting, not doing nothing.

The most feared thing is to be forgotten.

How can a local official not have the heart to continue to climb upwards?

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach.

Now the increasingly intensive official evaluation system has been fully launched, but because this year has just begun, the results will not be available until the end of the year.

But if you don't work hard now, what good results can you expect at the end of the year?

Moreover, they don't need to compete with the officials of Quan Daming.

There is a golden plaque in my county.

There is not a single one in the surrounding counties.

Then I can't be promoted to the state?

The papers at the end of the exam were also sealed on the spot and sent to the palace, during which all the candidates waited quietly in the capital.

East Warm Pavilion.

Zhu Youzhen joined hands with Queen Zhou, and the two of them were speeding up the review of all the test papers.

Seeing the thoughts of today's candidates, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile.

The Ming Dynasty is full of talents, how can it end up in turmoil.

There are a lot of ideas in it, about the military, about people's livelihood, about coastal defense, about exploring the world.

The power of open-ended answering is huge, and almost all candidates can find what they are good at from different angles.

Propose ideas for the future in the parts you are good at, and if there are ideas that can be compatible with future generations.

Even if there are many subtle differences, as long as the direction is correct, Zhu Youzhen will slowly write a sentence!

"Exam passed!"

And what is the purpose of Queen Zhou here?

That is to read again, Zhu Youzhen's vision is too advanced.

If there is nothing inherently wrong with something that is obviously good for the present, but is destined to fail in the future.

Then it's worth getting a pass.

And Empress Zhou is responsible for finding such test papers in those papers that were sentenced to death by Zhu Youzhen.

And in the end, all the papers that fail to pass the exam in the third level will be sent to the cabinet.

In the cabinet, Huang Liji led all the cabinet scholars and officials to conduct the third reading of the papers.

Be sure to ensure that you do not miss a talent that is beneficial to Daming!
