The most difficult to read the paper is the drama department, there is no unified answer at all, and even these doctors have different opinions.

For the sake of fairness, Liu Zhi stipulated that the subject must be reviewed separately by two doctors, and a group of officials should be designated to cross-review.

And afterwards, the examiner Fang Zhi will conduct random spot checks, and under the triple guarantee, he will do his best to do no omission.

Moreover, this subject is not scored, only the upper, middle and lower grades are evaluated, and the three lower grades are directly unsuccessful, and the two are also unsuccessful.

Two middle schools, temporarily to be determined, three middle schools are barely passed, two middle schools and one on the smooth pass, one middle and two on the excellent, three on the top of the best.

Due to the cumbersome process, the results were not available until three days later, and of course, there was no ranking, but it was divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. Grabbing the sting

The results are posted at the gate of Pingcheng, and all candidates can come and confirm on their own.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, many candidates gathered at the city gate early in the morning, waiting for the list to be posted, and everyone wanted to know their results at the first time.

Of course, some of them really did poorly in the exam, and some of them were self-aware, so they packed up and left directly after the exam, and went home in the wind and snow.

Before, they were ashamed and arrogant, and they thought that they could easily advance with their family strength, but they didn't expect to lose and lose in the sand, and they really didn't have the face to stay in the capital.

On the contrary, it was the worried children of the poor family, and when the topic was posted, they were all reassured.

They don't have the ability to cheat, they have been promoted all the way up by grades, and now they suddenly find that the big exam is not as dark as they imagined, which is a surprise.

The business of several liquor shops opposite the Pingcheng Gate is particularly hot today, and even the hall is crowded with people, all excited and nervously looking forward to it.

Wang Mu was also among them, he couldn't buy the topic, and he was always a little depressed in his heart, but later found that the topic was not very difficult, so he turned his worries into joy.

At the same time, several officials came out with their guards, and the crowd suddenly became excited, and all the hulala ran out, surrounding the city gate.

The two guards took out a few scrolls of paper and spread them out and hung them by the city gate.

Wang Mu was quick with his hands and feet, struggling to squeeze in front, his eyes hurriedly swept around the next grade, and a wave of joy instantly filled his heart.

His name does not appear in the next grade, which means that he did not lose the election.

Of course, he is very self-aware and knows that he does not have the ability to enter the top grade, so he set his sights on the list of medium grades with peace of mind.

Sure enough, he soon found out his name and immediately smiled, and at this time, many of the admitted candidates began to cheer.

They shared their joy with their friends and went to celebrate together.

There are also some people who come to the list with a fluke mentality, or overestimate themselves, only to find that things backfired, and they can only leave in frustration.

Of the more than 500 candidates, there are not many who can enter the top grade, only 25 people in total, that is to say, only one person in every 20 or so people can enter the top grade, which is not easy.

Surprisingly, only half of the top performers in each state entered the top grade, and most of the others were Beijing division candidates, but there were also a few dark horses that came out, and they were not famous before, which was really surprising.

Before the exam, everyone discussed several talents, all of whom have been prestigious for a long time, and the results are indeed well deserved, and all of them have become top-notch.

According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, as long as you can enter the middle grade in the big examination, you are basically stable, and you only need to wait for the official Cao to assign an official position.

It's just that they are all ordinary official positions at the county level, and it is impossible to enter the middle level.

And those who can enter the top grade will definitely be valued by the imperial court, and they will also be trained in a key way, and the resources allocated will undoubtedly be better.

It's just that there are more people who fell off the list this time, close to 300 people, without exception, all of them are children of the family.

This result made most of the families feel hot on their faces, as if they had been slapped in the face.

Of course, there are also families that pay attention to the education of the children in the clan, and all the disciples sent out are shortlisted, which not only does not damage the reputation, but makes people more respectful.

Not to mention the rejoicing of the candidates outside, at this time, Liu Zhi in the palace was discussing with a cadre of ministers the examination papers of the twenty-five high-grade candidates.

In the Zhongde Palace, Taifu Ma Rong, Hanlin Yuan Editor-in-Chief Liang Budo, Taiwei Huang Qiong, Situ Yinxun, Sikong Yuan Tang and Shangshu Ling Yuan Xu, as well as several high-level officials with outstanding literary talents and abilities, were all present.

Of course, there are not even the three chief examiners, as well as Taichang Fei Xing, who is in charge of education, Tai Academy Sacrificial Wine and several chief doctors.

The main hall was full of people, very lively, and everyone was looking at the rolling paper that was selected as the top grade, and from time to time they bowed their heads and whispered. Variety Show, Literature, Drama, Literature, Variety Show, Variety Show, Variety T

Candidates who can be positioned as the top grade by the three markers at the same time naturally have uniqueness, and Liu Zhi has read them all yesterday.

Among them, there are several people whose ideas are very appreciated by him, especially a candidate named Chen Yu from Yingchuan, who wrote more than ten pages with enthusiasm.

His argument can be summed up in one sentence: If there is no famine among the people, then the bandits will be relieved.

Chen Yu took the position of the lowest Qiantou as the position, and denounced the local tyrants who were cunning and robbing, the water conservancy was in disrepair, and the people's income was exploited repeatedly, and in the end there was either little left, or there was a possibility of arrears.

He not only soberly pointed out the many problems existing among the people, but also analyzed in detail the causes of these problems.

In the end, a number of solutions are listed, all for the sake of the people, and the words are full of sympathy and pity for the workers at the bottom.

Although it is not explicitly stated, there is an allusion throughout the article that the people are the foundation of the society.

It is impossible for a high-ranking son of a family to write such a practical article, this person must have been from a humble background and has been with the people for a long time.

Liu Zhi has reason to believe that this is the person he is looking for.

Although his ideas are too idealistic to be fully implemented in practice, it is rare for him, an ancient literati born in the Han Dynasty, to have such advanced ideas that are ahead of his time.

But even if they don't fully agree with his point of view, all those who have read the article have to admit that he is indeed capable and virtuous.

This is also the fundamental reason why even if the examiner disagrees with his point of view, he will still give him a good grade.

Because he stands on the commanding heights of morality, to criticize him is to be unkind and fraternal, and for a scribe who reads the books of the sages, morality is always a shackle that cannot be broken.

The other high-quality articles, although also unique, start from the magistrates or the ruling class.

Grabbing the sting. For the bigwigs of the imperial court, Chen Yu's concept may not be the best, and they all have articles that they appreciate.

In their minds, although the political concepts of these people are not mature enough, they have unlimited potential.

"Tomorrow the palace test will be held in the Yutang Palace, and I will personally point out the top three and give a banquet to patrol the streets, so as to set an example for the world."

Liu Zhi's approach is very novel, you must know that in the past palace examinations, there will not be any form of reward.

Of course, no one knew that this was the routine operation of the Tang and Song dynasties in later generations, "The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." ”

It is this unparalleled glory that makes people all over the world rush to it, forming a social atmosphere in which everything is inferior, but only reading is high.

Now he is trying to find a way to mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole people to read, and these classic practices of later generations are naturally at his fingertips.

"I want to give the top three nicknames, I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

At that time, the first place in the temple examination was intuitively called the head of the strategy, and the others were only plainly called the second and third, and so on.

Although most people think that it is not necessary, but some trivial things are not related to the government and politics, Your Majesty has this elegance, and the ministers are naturally happy to be vassal.

"How about this name, how about being called Ceyuan?"

The old lady Huang Qiong was the most active in this matter, and immediately blurted out.

Yuan, Shou also. It is the beginning of qi, so the first day of the ancient New Year is called the first day, and later extended to the meaning of the first.

It's just that Ceyuan and Ceshou are no different from Cetou seriously, they are not elegant names, and everyone else disagrees, but they don't say anything against it.

Liu Zhi wanted to guide him, and then come up with the name recognized by later generations, but he only found out at this time that due to the different examination methods, the word "shape" of the champion could not be explained at all now.

Seeing that he was silent, another chief doctor of Taixue couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't you call Dianyuan more magnificent." ”

Dianyuan, the big vernacular is the first place in the palace test, and it is also appropriate to say it, but Liu Zhi always feels that there is a little less taste.

巘戅 wonderful book garden 巘戅. "No, the temple is a sacred place, how can it be used on a Confucian student at will, this is disrespectful."

Before Liu Zhi could veto, one of the ministers raised objections in displeasure.

Everyone immediately reacted, didn't this suppress the "Your Highness", it was indeed disrespectful.

The chief doctor's face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly surrendered his hand, "Your Majesty, the minister was not thoughtful, and almost exceeded the etiquette system, please punish him." ”

Liu Zhi waved his hand, "Those who have no intention are not guilty, and the doctor does not need to worry." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty for pardon."

The chief doctor hurriedly thanked him, he was an orthodox literati and was not familiar with the art of power, and now he knew that a casual word in the court could be punished.

was so frightened that he immediately shut up and didn't dare to express his opinions casually.

"The minister thinks that the title of the leader is more elegant, I don't know what His Majesty thinks?"

Taichang bothered to reach out and twist his beard, and made a suggestion with a smile, Huang Qiong's eyes lit up, and she was the first to agree.

Kui is the first star of the Big Dipper, and the one who is outstanding in literature is called Kuishi, and the meaning of the first is more straightforward, that is, the first place.

At that time, there was no such thing as a leader, and it was a first to bother with it.

After thinking about it carefully, everyone applauded, and Liu Zhi also felt that it was more appropriate to call the leader, which was both atmospheric and elegant, which was very in line with the identity of the leader.

So he smiled and said, "Fei Taichang is quick-witted, and the name of this leader is decided." ”

decided the first place, the second and third place names are much more casual, after all, most people's attention is on the head, although the latter two are also very good, but in that highlight moment, they are just a foil.

As soon as Liu Zhi was slightly guided, he set the name of the eye of the list, the so-called eye, which is a pair of left and right, which means the eye of the top of the list.

The name was apt, and everyone laughed and voted in favor without thinking.

In fact, according to Liu Zhi's thoughts, he wanted to set the third place as Tanhualang, what an elegant name, people feel as if they have seen the handsome young man from the long street with red flowers on his head.

But so far, the celebration activities of these signboards have not yet begun, so they can only be tentatively set as the list eye, and then improvise to change the name when the street is paraded, so that everyone will empathize.

Of course, the name is a trivial matter, tomorrow's palace examination is the focus, and all the court bigwigs will gather to recruit their favorite talents among the new palace examination candidates.

On the eleventh day of the lunar month, the Yutang Hall gathered heroes, this was the first time Liu Zhi presided over the consultation since he ascended the throne, he knew that his level was limited, and he summoned a think tank in advance to do his homework.

In this palace test, he deliberately wanted to make it grand and magnificent, so that this act had a solemn and solemn sense of ceremony.

It is necessary for students all over the world to see that it is the supreme glory to enter the profession by learning, and to light a guiding light for those students who feel that there is no hope of getting ahead.

Among the halls of the South Palace, the scale of the Jade Hall is only slightly inferior to the main halls such as the Chongde Hall and the Zhongde Palace, and it is one of the important places where the ceremony is held.

At the right time, twenty-five high-grade candidates rushed in, and the scene in the hall made people's hearts tense, and the people sitting on both sides were all ministers and doctors of the Han Dynasty.

They are either the people who stand at the pinnacle of power in the Han Empire, or they are the most authoritative scholars who stand in Confucianism, in short, any one of them is usually an existence they need to look up to.

Now so many bigwigs are here, just to see them play live, it's really stressful.

Candidates who are timid and have poor psychological quality suddenly have their hearts beating faster and cold sweat on their heads.

As the master of ceremonies shouted "Your Majesty is coming", Liu Zhi slowly walked up to the Yutang Hall surrounded by a group of people.

His gaze swept around the group of students waiting for the exam, and then stopped at a Confucian student in his forties.

Although he had never met Chen Yu, he immediately confirmed his identity.

The temperament of this person is obviously different, more calm, and more simple, mixed with insight and thoroughness after the wind and frost.

This is a scribe who knows the world but is not sophisticated, and sees through the world but is not paranoid and fierce.

However, his gaze only stayed for a moment longer, and he did not want to cause unnecessary associations and speculations.

With the arrival of the emperor in person, the questioning officially began, and Liu Zhi looked at the twenty-five candidates standing in a neat line at the foot of the steps, all of them waiting for each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Han Dynasty has frequent disasters and food shortages, the top and bottom are still addicted to alcohol.

Question, should the imperial court ban alcohol for a short time, or restore the liquor system during Emperor Wu's time? ”

As soon as this question came out, the whole room was surprised, not only by the candidates, but also by the ministers.

Everyone showed thoughtful expressions, secretly thinking: Your Majesty, what does this mean?
