This year's autumn examination is invigilated by an invigilation team composed of the Ministry of Rites, and after all the papers are sealed and sent to the Ministry of Rites, they will be reviewed by a marking group composed of officials from the Ministry of Rites and officials from the Ministry of Rites selected by Ning Qizhan.

The list of the marking team was not announced before the examination, but on the night of the end of the autumn examination, the East Palace sent someone to invite them to the Ministry of Rites and retreat for seven days to rank the papers, so as to prevent those who want to take crooked ways to bribe the marking team.

Seven days later, the team selected 50 outstanding answer sheets and sent them to the emperor's case.

The emperor who had not appeared for a long time appeared in the imperial study, and several adults who had read the papers saluted and all sat down.

After reading a volume, Emperor Zhaoyang handed it to Ning Qizhan and asked him to rank it together.

After reading all the fifty volumes, Emperor Zhaoyang had a number in his heart, he selected two of them, and tapped his fingers.

"These two "On the People's Policy" and "Hundred Schools" are very good, especially "On the People's Policy", I haven't seen the answer sheet that understands people's livelihood so well for many years, so the champion is him."

The ministers present nodded one after another: "Your Majesty, the ministers also think so. ”

Emperor Zhaoyang asked, "Prince, what do you think?" ”

Ning Qizhan put down "Hundred Schools" and picked up "On the People's Policy" again, and after reading it, he nodded again and again, but hesitated again.

Seeing this, Emperor Zhaoyang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with the prince?" ”

Ning Qizhan thought for a while before saying: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson feels that the handwriting of this "On the People's Policy" is very familiar. ”

Emperor Zhaoyang stroked his beard: "Oh? ”

Zhu Zankang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, patted his ass and said: "Maybe it's someone the prince knows, as the saying goes, close to Zhu Zhechi, the prince is erudite and talented, and the people around him are definitely not bad." ”

Ning Qizhan said with a smile: "Lord Zhu is overrated, but this person does know ......."

Halfway through speaking, he looked at the person on the dragon chair and played a riddle: "The imperial grandfather also knows." ”

Emperor Zhaoyang was interested: "Really? Let's take a look. ”

Ning Qizhan deliberately slowed down his speech and said with a smile: "This person is your good grandson, the prince of Liang." ”

Emperor Zhaoyang's eyes widened: "Prince, are you joking?" ”

Not only was he surprised, but all the ministers were in disbelief.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, isn't the prince grounded in the Liang Palace? How do I go to take the test? ”

Some people knew that Ning Yuchu was not in the palace, so he said directly: "Even if the prince participates, judging from the blank scrolls he handed in the school before, how can it be impossible!" ”

This minister is quite face-saving, and the thoughts in everyone's hearts are that this prince of Liang has a royal identity, but he is really a dou who can't be helped, walking dogs and fighting cocks, not doing his job, and being domineering, if it weren't for His Majesty to lock him up back then, I'm afraid that in the past few years, the imperial capital will be stirred up by him.

Everyone's reaction was already within Ning Qizhan's expectations, and he said to Emperor Zhaoyang: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson heard that in the past three years, Yuchu has changed his mind, and he has not heard anything outside the window, and he only reads sage books. ”

Emperor Zhaoyang thought of Meng Yi's letter from Zilang, and praised Yuchu's literary brilliance.

At the time, he thought that this man was making fun of himself, blaming himself for throwing such a burden at him.

Thinking about it now, maybe it's true.

"The Ministry of Rites, take out the name of this volume."

Zhu Zankang held the scroll with both hands and carefully tore off the place where the name was sealed.

When the three words of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on it were revealed, he glanced at his eyes and was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell.

"Your Majesty, really, really the prince of King Liang......"

The crowd was amazed.
