The Gongshi in the examination is naturally gratifying, but if it is said that everyone is looking forward to it, it must be the top Huiyuan.

"Wenyang! It's Wenyang again! Look, the top of the list is Gongzi Wenyang! ”

"Why is it him again? How old is he? I won two dollars in a row! ”

"I heard that Gongzi Wenyang, this is the first time to participate in the Autumn and Spring Festivals."

"What a genius! It's not much better than the second son of Chu back then! ”

At that time, Chu Wenhong was a talent in the examination at the age of twelve, a person in the examination at the age of fifteen, and was appointed by the Emperor Taishang as a list at the age of sixteen, and later became the youngest editor in the Hanlin Academy.

Nowadays, they are already second-class masters.

This Wenyang son, who was a talent in the thirteen-year-old examination and a talent in the sixteen-year-old examination, followed in the footsteps of Chu Wenhong.

Maybe soon, Gongzi Wenyang will also enter the Hanlin Academy to take up a job, and the future is limitless!

These new Kogons are all people who are about to enter the officialdom, and their connections are naturally very important to them, and they are related to whether they can rise step by step in the future.

Everyone reacted and looked for Wen Yang everywhere, wanting to congratulate them, but they found that Wen Yang was gone.

Wen Yang learned the lesson of the last time, and after reading the list, he nodded to Can'er and slipped away.

Can'er was even more busy running back to the palace, Xiaolian had been waiting outside the gate of Fanghua Palace for a long time, so nervous that she couldn't stop rubbing her hands.

Seeing Can'er running back with a smile, her heart instantly jumped alive.

"Can'er, what's wrong? Is he on the list? ”

Can'er also excitedly grabbed Xiaolian's hand and shook it up and down.

"Famous and famous, not only famous, but also the first name!"

Xiaolian's eyes brightened a little.

"The first place? Wen Yang he, high school will be yuan? ”

Can'er nodded like pounding garlic.

"Aunt Xiaolian, you can rest assured now."

Xiaolian's eyes flashed, and she pursed her lips and smiled. Wen Yang really did it, he was going to enter the palace to try!

But thinking of the palace test, Xiaolian was even more nervous.

The palace test is divided into three ranking, and the first three people are the champions, the list eyes, and the tanhua, which are collectively called the top three tripods. Dozens of people in the second grade, born in Jinshi, and dozens of people in the third grade, born in the same jinshi.

Those who can be admitted to the Gongshi are the best candidates from all over the world, who doesn't want to compete for the top three?

In case, Wen Yang only entered the second class, will the queen mother still marry her to Wen Yang?

In March, the new tributes nervously lined up outside the main hall, preparing to meet the current emperor and participate in the highest examination of the imperial examination: the palace examination.

Wen Yang, the Huiyuan, naturally stands at the forefront.

Chu Wenhong was able to introduce the tributes of this session because of his status as the leader of the previous imperial examination.

He turned his head sideways and asked the petty officer named next to him.

"Are all the candidates here?"

The petty officer replied respectfully:

"Back to the imperial history of Chu, it's all here."

Chu Wenhong looked at the candidates.

"Go into the temple with your own officials."

Chu Wenhong turned around and walked in front and entered the hall. The tributes followed closely behind, and their hearts were full of excitement as they watched themselves as role models, altar-like figures, leading their way.

I feel that after today, maybe I can be like Chu Wenhong, jump to the top, and glorify my ancestors.

Chu Wenhong led the tributes to stand in the hall, and Jun Lingyun entered through the side door at this time, and sat majestically on the dragon chair.

Everyone lowered their heads, and the scene was solemn.

Chu Wenhong took the lead in kneeling on the ground, bowed his head and said:

"Weichen Chu Wenhong, bring the new Kegongshi, respectfully invite the emperor Sheng'an!"

The priests immediately followed and bowed:

"Respectfully Greetings to the Emperor!"

Jun Lingyun ordered cleanly:

"Excuse me, start the exam!"

The candidates got up one after another and sat down at the small table arranged for them, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were neatly placed in front of them.

Jun Lingyun said:

"The question of this palace exam is: I am strong and weak, people don't offend me, can I offend others?"

The hearts of the tributes tightened, and their heads went blank for a moment. What is this title?

Neither literary knowledge nor official skills, is it true that the emperor is trying to test their humanity?

If it weren't for the emperor sitting in a high position at the moment, looking at them, it is estimated that many candidates would be scratching their ears and cheeks.

Half an hour later, the candidates handed in their exam papers one after another.

Chu Wenhong put them away one by one, put the exam papers in front of Jun Lingyun, and then returned to the candidates and said:

"You go back first and wait for the good news, and the list will be released tomorrow."

"Yes, sir."

After the candidates saluted Jun Lingyun again, they exited the main hall.

Someone shook his trembling hand, and someone wiped the beads of sweat that came out of his forehead.

In fact, the topics of this palace exam are not in their daily preparations, and they don't know where to start, and they don't know how to write them, so they can write them to the emperor's heart.

Wen Yang's expression is the same as before, since he has already handed in the exam papers, it is useless to think about it more, and when the list is released tomorrow, everything will be known.

The only thing he was worried about was whether he could get the qualifications to marry Xiaolian.

After leaving the palace, the candidates finally dared to discuss a few words with each other.

A candidate asked the people around him with some puzzlement:

"Brother Tai, do you know that the champion of the previous session is now in any position?"

Chu Wenhong was so good back then, why did he only take the exam? And the champion of that session seems to have disappeared, and no one mentioned it again.

It just so happened that next to him was a candidate from the capital, who glanced at him and asked:

"You came to Beijing from out of town to take the exam, right?"

This person nodded hurriedly, is there really any inside story?

The candidate in the capital recalled:

"It's also strange to say that that year, the person who was the top student in the same high school as Chu Yushi disappeared after the palace exam. Even the person who went to report the good news didn't find the champion. ”

The questioner looked incredulous:

"Missing?"

These scholars, know best how much effort they have to put in, plus luck, to get the top prize, and there is only one person in the country who reads!

Someone would disappear after the top student in high school?

"Could it be, something happened?"

The Beijing examinee shook his head and said:

"It's not that there was an accident, the champion seems to be called, called, Mu Feng! That's right, it's called Mu Feng. It is said that there is no such person! I wonder if I was too nervous when I put pen to paper and wrote my name wrongly? ”

Although this reason is also a bit far-fetched, no one really knows where this Mu Feng went later.

The candidates all listened to it, since there was no such person, they didn't need to care too much about this person, or their own palace exam ranking mattered.

A candidate came to Wen Yang's side and asked:

"Brother Wenyang, what do you think the emperor wants to test this time?"

Wen Yang looked at this self-familiar candidate, he didn't know how much older than him next year, but he still called him a brother.

He smiled warmly and spit out two words:

"Current Affairs."

All the candidates looked at it one after another. Political? How can it be current affairs?

What the emperor asked clearly: I am strong and weak, people don't offend me, can I offend others?

Isn't this talking about the contradictory choice between two people?
