Chapter 431: The Temple Exam Begins
"Your Majesty, this case has been investigated clearly, and it turned out to be a scholar named Ruan Dacheng, who is a scholar from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion, along with Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu."
"In the hospital exam, these three people performed extremely well!"
"The examiner thought that he was a jinshi, and in the township examination, this person barely passed a lift."
"After the exam, this person failed the list and did not pass the exam."
"But looking at Xie Yuangong and Yayuangong in the township test, one won the second place in the examination, and the other won the fourth place in the examination!"
"This person immediately felt that it was unfair, and his eyes became red and jealous!"
"So this person wanted Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu to be unable to be admitted to the Jinshi, and even let the two of them lose their fame in general."
"That's why he did something like this!"
Zhang Derong, deputy superintendent of the East Factory, told the truth everything he had investigated to today.
Huang Tinghui also didn't expect that he hadn't done anything yet.
Someone has already proven his innocence for him.
There are really people in the DPRK who are easy to do!
"A good jealous, a good red-eyed, just this kind of person almost strangled the two talents of my Dasheng Kingdom!"
"It's really the scum of the country and the people, if the whole world is full of people like this."
"Who else dares to participate in the imperial examination of my Dasheng country?"
"These people can frame others like this because of one eye and one jealousy?"
The little emperor did not laugh angrily, this was the first time he attached so much importance to the imperial examination.
I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the imperial examination that I valued so much for the first time.
"Your Majesty, how should this person be handled?" Zhang Derong bowed to the little emperor, and then asked.
"This man!"
"Exile to the frontier, remove your fame, and never be hired!"
"I want everyone in the world to know that there are some things and some bottom lines that cannot be touched!"
"Got it?" The little emperor looked directly at Zhang Derong, the deputy superintendent of the East Factory, and said.
"Your Majesty!"
"Little one got it!"
It is worthy of the imperial avant-garde, and such a high efficiency will eradicate the so-called "imperial examination fraud case" that has caused some uproar.
Those candidates who wanted to make trouble with these things also fell silent in an instant.
As for Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu, they were not affected by this incident in the slightest.
After the dust settles.
Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu also went to visit several bigwigs from the DPRK and China introduced to him by Li Baichong, which can be regarded as getting acquainted with each other.
In addition to those people known to Huang Tinghui's teacher Li Baichong, some people who Tang Zihu's father knew naturally wanted to visit.
At present, Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu are both standing out in the examination, and they belong to the top of the list.
In the palace examination, the top ten probably also have Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu among them.
Therefore, for Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu's overtures, others will naturally not refuse.
After all, who would refuse these juniors who have a great future?
If he didn't know that Huang Tinghui already had a wife, Tang Zihu would also say that after he became a jinshi, he would return to his hometown to marry a relative.
wants Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu to be their sons-in-law, but there are many people.
If Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu played well and won the top prize in the palace examination.
That is the future prime minister, so there is no shortage of wealthy families who want to marry Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu.
Of course, Huang Tinghui planned to visit Zhang Derong, the deputy superintendent of the East Factory, after the examination, but because of this incident, it was inappropriate to visit Zhang Derong, the deputy superintendent of the East Factory.
So Huang Tinghui just wrote a thank you letter to Zhang Derong and taught Zhang Derong something called "backgammon".
After all, the Rubik's Cube or something, you will soon get tired of playing with it.
The little emperor must be looking for some other fun, and this backgammon or something can at least be dealt with for a while.
Of course, Huang Tinghui's stomach contains more than just these things.
There are also flying chess, werewolf killing and even script killing and the like, if the little emperor wants to play something exciting, the haunted house is of course the best choice.
However, Huang Tinghui weighed it, this thing is too exciting, and it can't be handed over to Zhang Derong casually.
If something happens to the little emperor, the little emperor will be lost.
That's really a big deal.
Just after Huang Tinghui wrote a letter to Zhang Derong and exchanged some with each other.
The palace test is also quietly coming.
The so-called palace test, also known as "imperial test", "court test", "court pair" and so on.
It was one of the imperial examinations during the Dasheng Dynasty.
The palace examination is prepared by the cabinet and then submitted to the emperor for selection.
Only those who have been selected for the examination will be able to participate. The purpose is to distinguish between those who have passed the entrance examination and to select officials.
The palace examination is the highest stage of the imperial examination. It was created by the Li Dynasty in the Luocheng Hall of the Ziwei Palace in the Shendu, so it started from the Li Dynasty.
The first name of the palace examination is the champion.
In the history of imperial examinations, the first palace examination in the history of imperial examinations was initiated by the first female emperor.
In February of the first year of Zaichu, this female emperor was about to be called the emperor, so she asked the tributes in the Luocheng Palace of Ziwei City, the divine capital, and elites from all over the world gathered in Luoyang, and there were tens of thousands of candidates, and they took the exam for several days in a row.
The trial before the temple began from this time. Those who pass the imperial court examination are jinshi.
This system was formally established in the Zhao Dynasty and followed by the Dasheng State.
This exam was written by the emperor himself.
Only those who have been selected for the examination will be able to participate.
The purpose is to distinguish the ranking of those who pass the examination.
Dasheng is divided into three ranks, but not two lists.
Similar to the township examination and the general examination, this temple examination is held once every three years, and those prospective scholars who have won the tribute in the general examination participate.
Since the test questions for the palace examination were issued by the emperor, it was still relatively difficult to leak the questions or something.
In the past, the little emperor was still young, so the questions of the palace examination were given by the cabinet ministers on behalf of the little emperor.
However, this palace test is more special, and the little emperor attaches great importance to this palace test.
Therefore, the person who made the question in this palace exam is the little emperor himself.
In this way, the possibility of leaking the question is very small.
Unless someone is able to reach the little emperor's side.
However, because of the things that will be tested, the little emperor in order to ensure the confidentiality of the palace exam questions.
He didn't even let out a few of his personal eunuchs until the test questions were taken away, waiting for the official start of the palace exam.
Therefore, even the cabinet ministers do not know what kind of topic is coming up today.
Not to mention the scholars who participated in the temple examination this time.
As a result, the face of the cabinet assistant was a little bad.
After all, his son is a Huiyuan who can try, and the little emperor does this, which makes him look extremely embarrassed.
It seems that it is so secretive just to prevent him.
After the palace examination of the Dasheng Dynasty, it is divided into three grades: one and three Cijin Shi and the first, commonly known as the champion, the list eye, and the flower.
The second class was born as a jinshi, and the first place is commonly known as Chuanyu.
The top three are given the same Jinshi background.
March 15 is also the day of the temple examination.
It's been a month since the end of the exam.
However, this time, Huang Tinghui's salted fish time did not last too long.
After all, after the end of the exam, it will only be a month before the exam.
Except for visiting some officials with whom he has friendships, Huang Tinghui studies at home behind closed doors.
Also prepare for the upcoming temple exams.
After a period of extremely tedious days, the day before the palace exam, Huang Tinghui went to bed early.
Unlike other candidates who barely fell asleep after tossing and turning, Huang Tinghui quickly fell asleep.
This sleep was extraordinarily sweet, without too much pressure, until Huang Tinghui listened to the sound of the third watch in a daze, he rubbed his eyes and woke up from his sleep.
For the palace test, Huang Tinghui was not nervous, he was more excited.
If this point is placed in the eyes of others, they will definitely think that Huang Tinghui has a big heart.
But the reason why Huang Tinghui was excited was because the palace examination was the last subject of the imperial examination.
You only need to finish this exam, and you will really get out of the imperial examination in the future.
This is just like the feeling of Huang Tinghui taking the college entrance examination in later generations.
As long as the college entrance examination is over, they can get rid of the boring various exams and officially take the first step in life.
This feeling is mysterious and mysterious, and Huang Tinghui himself feels that it is not easy to explain.
However, the exams he took with this mentality have always been invincible.
As for this time, Huang Tinghui also has a lot of confidence.
He doesn't ask for any champions, role models, and flowers.
You only need to get a second-class jinshi, after all, no matter how good you are in the current exam, the future development is still uncertain.
Although many cabinet ministers are champions, role models, and flowers.
But there are not a few cabinet chiefs who are from Jinshi.
For example, Zhang Julu, the current Minister of the Cabinet, the ninth place in the palace examination he got in the palace examination.
As for the other celebrities, many of them are not very high-born.
But this does not prevent them from holding high positions in the future and controlling the future destiny of the entire empire.
Huang Tinghui understands that there are many things that he cannot control, and the only thing that can be done well is to be himself.
Riding in the carriage and rushing to Dashengmen, Huang Tinghui immediately got off the carriage and walked to continue walking inside.
At this time, the sky is just getting dark.
More than 300 tributes arrived one after another.
They were all dressed in new clothes, and their faces were excited and excited.
After all, when it comes to the palace test, they are almost equivalent to having an official body, so they don't have to worry about falling short in this final level like the previous dynasty.
Naturally, the mood is much more relaxed than before.
These tributes were full of joy one by one, and they gave up their hands when they met.
They also got together and talked, and there was no anxiety or anxiety at the beginning of the test.
"Brother Tinghui!"
"Brother Tinghui!!"
"Hahaha, Brother Tinghui, you are the number one among our scholars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion, you have to play well and add some light to our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion!"
"Brother Tinghui, in the future, we will be officials in the same hall, so we will take care of each other a lot!"
"There are actually some red-eyed people who are jealous of Brother Tinghui's talent, and now that person is exiled, it's really happy!"
"Brother Tinghui, I hope you are the best in the world!"
"Great Genius!"
"Great Genius!!"
The scholars who gathered together were often regarded as fellow villagers, so they were all cheering for the most powerful person in their township party at the moment, and selling that person well.
Of course, who doesn't want to be the best one.
Who wouldn't want to be the champion?
Just when everyone was talking, the Dasheng Gate slowly opened.
The guards guarding the gates were lined up on both sides.
At this time, an official suddenly appeared, only to see this person walk to the gate and ask: "Ladies and gentlemen, line up in three columns, led by the first to third tributes!" ”
"And then in order."
After listening to the man's words, Huang Tinghui and the others slowly stepped forward.
The official nodded, confirming that these were indeed the top three in the exam.
After others confirmed that the people who participated in the temple examination this time were those tributes, they announced that everyone would be allowed to enter the temple.
Although in this case, it is unlikely that these tributes are impostors.
But those officials are naturally afraid of making a fool of themselves in the palace and displeasing the Son of Heaven.
So the inspection that should be done still needs to be done.
After confirming that everything was correct, they allowed the tributes to go to the main hall where the temple test was located according to the proper procedure.
"Everyone!"
"This is a royal land, no noise, no ear to ear, no left and right!"
"If it disturbs the royal tranquility and the Son of Heaven is blamed, don't say that the old man didn't remind you!"
The old official looked at the crowd with a serious face, and waited until he had announced the discipline.
Naturally, all the tributes even claimed "yes"
They were all newcomers who had entered this palace for the first time, so naturally they didn't dare to make any mistakes in this kind of thing.
The official was very satisfied with the performance of the crowd.
I saw him nod, and then said to the group of tributes: "New Gongshi! ”
"Enter!"
At that moment, the official made a gesture of invitation to Huang Tinghui and other tributes.
Naturally, the tributes immediately returned the salute to this official.
Then under the guidance of this official, three hundred tributes entered the great hall.
At this point, the sacred palace examination in the minds of thousands of imperial examination scholars has also begun.
At this time, dozens of officials were waiting in the main hall.
Huang Tinghui couldn't help but glance at it, sure enough, they were all important ministers of the court.
Headed by Zhang Julu, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, a group of important ministers who can make the entire Dasheng country tremble with a stomp of their feet, are looking here at this time.
Huang Tinghui looked at these people and didn't think there was anything special.
After all, in later generations of TV, some big names have also watched a lot.
So deep down, I didn't feel that these big people were too much to touch.
However, other candidates do not have such a good mentality as Huang Tinghui.
They looked at these important court ministers who appeared in front of them, and swallowed their saliva one by one.
It's so stressful, so stressful!
But the nervous thoughts of the crowd were soon interrupted, after a burst of music.
The little emperor, under the protection of the left and right attendants, slowly walked out.
At this time, all the courtiers bowed to the little emperor.
The other scholars also did the same, bowing to the little emperor.
"Get up!"
"Today, you have to play well, let me see your style!"
The little emperor stretched out his hand and motioned for the scholars to flatten down.
This is the first time that the little emperor attaches so much importance to the imperial examination, if it was placed in the past, the little emperor may not appear in the palace examination.
After all, the emperors of Dasheng have a lot of wonders, and there are many people who have not been in court for more than 20 years.
In this way, Huang Tinghui and they can see the appearance of the little emperor in this palace test.
It was also Huang Tinghui and they had a lot of luck.
I saw that the little emperor raised his eyebrows at the big eunuch beside him, and the big eunuch who was instructed by the little emperor immediately shouted in a sharp voice: "Lin Xuan has a plan!" ”
At this time, Zhang Julu, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, stepped forward to take the sealed palace test scroll and opened it.
Subsequently, the paper was distributed to a group of candidates.
Huang Tinghui, as the second place in the examination, naturally received the earlier batch of test papers.
At this time, the entire hall was silent.
Not a single soldier made a sound.
Some of them stared directly at their exam desks, while others stared at their exam baskets motionless.
Some even choose to close their eyes and refresh their minds to relieve the pressure on their hearts.
These people have different expressions.
But only Huang Tinghui is different, he looks at the movements of the candidates, but he is a little like the people who eat melons.
"Little Dezi!" Seeing Huang Tinghui's series of actions, the little emperor was amused, and he called the little eunuch beside him over.
"The little ones are here!" Hearing the call of the little emperor, Zhang Derong naturally stepped forward immediately.
At this time, the little emperor gestured to Huang Tinghui not far away, and he said to Zhang Derong, "You saw Huang Tinghui when you were in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansions, this person is really interesting!" ”
"Everyone else is preparing for this temple test, and they are very nervous!"
"Only this person has the leisure to look at others here!"
"What a wonderful person!" The little emperor smiled and said to Zhang Derong.
Zhang Derong naturally heard that the little emperor was not dissatisfied, so he hurriedly said to the little emperor, "This Huang Tinghui is indeed a wonderful person!" ”
"Only someone like him can think of double-entry bookkeeping!"
"I can think of such a means to make money!"
"Since ancient times, all good people have often been a little different!"
Hearing Zhang Derong's explanation, the little emperor expressed his satisfaction.
"Hmm!"
"You're right, after this person wins, I want to give him an official position responsible for making money!"
"So that this person will be able to earn me money continuously!"
Hearing the little emperor's words, Zhang Derong also hurriedly echoed.
However, if Huang Tinghui, who was not far away, heard that this emperor who was a little rich fan planned to arrange himself like this, he would definitely have a black line in his head.
The rumors are true!
This little emperor is probably the most money-loving emperor in the history of Dasheng Kingdom!
Let yourself be an official, just to make money for him.
Sure enough, the strange emperor can't be looked at with common sense.
However, under the education of a great virtuous minister like Zhang Julu, the first auxiliary minister, why did this little emperor grow longer and more crooked?
Isn't it the rumored rebellion?
The more Zhang Julu wanted the little emperor to become a virtuous monarch who could let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment.
The little emperor rebelled and wanted to make more money for himself and build more big palaces for himself.
Buy yourself some more goodies!
It is really rare for an emperor to love money so much.
If it is upside down and down, I am afraid that the entire Dasheng Kingdom will rot to the root in the near future.
Huang Tinghui also noticed that the little emperor paid attention to him, and he immediately took back the look of looking left and right.
Although he also complained about the little emperor in his heart, no matter what the little emperor said at the moment, he was his future boss.
Huang Tinghui still has to make a good impression on himself, the future boss.
However, this scene fell in the eyes of the little emperor, and he thought Huang Tinghui was extremely interesting.
This palace examination is the first moment of the hour, so the time has not yet come, and it is impossible for everyone to start in front of the little emperor and all the important ministers.
Perhaps they were afraid that these scholars would be hungry during the exam, so the chamberlains gave a pack of palace cakes to each of the scholars on the table early.
If the scholars feel a little hungry, they can pick up this palace cake to cushion their stomachs.
After all, in order to prepare for this palace exam, these scholars all got up early in the morning.
In this case, I am afraid that there will be no time to eat.
That's why the palace will prepare some food for these scholars to enjoy.
But in front of the emperor, in front of the cabinet ministers and ministers.
The scholars will not lose their square inches, just pick up the palace cake and eat it.
Even if they are hungry, they don't move much.
Unless at the end, I really can't help it.
They'll eat some pads to pad their stomachs.
In addition to the palace cakes used to satisfy hunger, a lot of tea was also prepared in the main hall.
These scholars who participated in the temple examination were free to use them.
Huang Tinghui got up early in the morning and ate the buns made by the little girl, so he was definitely not hungry.
However, the buns were a little anxious, after all, they were in a hurry to participate in the palace exam.
Therefore, he only felt that he was a little thirsty at this time, so when the other scholars did not dare to act rashly.
Huang Tinghui beckoned the waiter, asked about the situation clearly, and then swaggered to bring tea to drink.
This scene stunned those important ministers of the court.
You must know that when they participated in the temple examination back then, they were very well-behaved.
Where will there be any things that will take water and drink before the exam starts.
However, Huang Tinghui naturally has his own reasons, and now he is taking water to drink, firstly, because he is indeed a little thirsty, and secondly, he came here to drink tea during the exam, so it is not a waste of time.
"Hahaha, this guy is really funny!"
"Interesting!"
"It seems that I will take him as a jinshi in the future, and there should be a lot of interesting things!"
The little emperor was already very playful, but when he saw Huang Tinghui's practices, he felt that Huang Tinghui was different.
Even Zhang Derong didn't expect that Huang Tinghui would fall into the eyes of the little emperor like this.
But come to think of it, this also has Huang Tinghui's dedication to the double-entry bookkeeping, as well as Huang Tinghui's contribution to the little emperor's treasury to add gold and silver!
Of course, for the emperor who is a fan of small fortune.
The most important thing should be that Huang Tinghui has the ability to keep his small treasury full.
Just after Huang Tinghui drank the water and returned to his seat, Chen Shi finally arrived.
I saw Zhang Julu, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, walking in front of a group of candidates.
His eyes glanced at all the candidates present, although Zhang Julu was already old, his eyes were still extremely powerful.
"It's time for the exam!" I only heard Zhang Julu, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, fall.
The palace test has finally officially begun.
