The examination is the main examination of the Ministry of Rites, and people from all over the world will have a competition of science and art, which will be held in the Gongyuan in the capital.

The head is called "Member", and all those who pass the examination are called "Gong".

The spring breeze in February is like scissors, with a slight warmth and coldness, Xie Zhiyan Lin Zhaotang rushed to the examination room again, and the result of this field also means whether he can rise to the top and complete the leap of class.

Shinong industry and commerce, a farmer's son cultivated and studied heirlooms, and since then the status and class are different.

Lin Zhaotang has a good talent, coupled with the guidance of a famous teacher, he also understands the importance of reading, and he has been extremely diligent since he started working.

Xie Zhiyan has a plug-in existence, and he is talented in the eyes of outsiders, but he knows that it is inseparable from his hard work.

The students who have been able to come this far are counted in the country, and no one has anything outstanding, and diligence can be said to be the first.

Thousands of troops and horses squeezed across the single-plank bridge, and the difficulty was even worse than the college entrance examination in later generations.

In the future, when you take the college entrance examination, you only need to concentrate on studying, and someone will take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation, at least you will have no worries about life, and the information will be transmitted very quickly, saving you a lot of troubles in studying. It can be said that the knowledge is there, you just have to learn it.

But these students are different, there are very few of them who are not married and have children at this age, most of them already have families, and some even become grandfathers.

They are people who need to maintain family and social contacts, and at the same time work hard to study.

Books are very expensive, and you still need to study the channels to obtain the knowledge reserve that can keep up with the situation, and ask your grandfather to tell your grandmother for advice from Confucianism.

All of this can only be achieved by being very active. It is impossible for passive players to come to this point, those who come here are aggressive, and everyone has only one thing in their minds, the middle of the test, the middle of the test!

When they got out of the examination room, Xie Zhiyan and Lin Zhaotang looked at each other and smiled, and both of them knew what to expect.

The marking speed of the general examination is much faster than that of the township examination, after all, there is still a lot of work to be carried out in the future, such as the palace examination held in April.

Huangtian lived up to his wishes, Xie Zhiyan won the ninety-ninth place in the exam, and Lin Zhaotang scored one hundred and one in the exam.

The rankings of the two are not good or bad, and they passed smoothly.

The happiest thing is to cherish Uncle Wang and Xie Chunsheng, the five of them celebrated by themselves at home, and the two candidates finally unloaded the big stone in their hearts, which can be said to be the most difficult level.

But now is not the time to relax, the next palace test is the highlight.

The palace examination can be said to be the re-examination of these tributes, and those who have participated in the palace examination are divided into three grades, and the first one is the top three, which are the champion, the list eye and the flower.

There is a certain number of places in the second class, and the Jinshi is born, which is the "Second Class Jinshi", and it is also a very glorious meritorious status.

The top three are "Tongjinshi", a more embarrassing existence.

This last tremor determines the height of the future in the future, and the same jinshi is destined to be unable to compete with the jinshi in the officialdom, and the background is destined to everything.

There was once a literati who made a very apt description, and the embarrassing status of "Tong Jinshi" was comparable to that of "Mrs. Ru", a little wife.

There is only one question in the palace examination, that is, the emperor asks to write a policy thesis, as for whether the content of the question is the scope of knowledge that the emperor is interested in, or the traditional article, or even the problems faced by the court today, these all depend on the mood of the one sitting on the dragon chair.

When Xie Zhiyan really faced the exam papers, he made up his mind.

He bet right.

This emperor is really good, and his style is pragmatic. Before the exam, he read a lot of information about water transportation, water control, and water transportation in the field of business development.

Almost every year, water control is an old problem, and it is a problem that costs the most money and achieves the least results.

Xie Zhiyan bet on the right treasure, he started from the water conservancy project, focused on the social and economic causes of the flood, and finally put pen to paper on several specific solutions.

Many students are prone to make mistakes, and the topic is discussed again, whether it is brilliant writing or gorgeous rhetoric, it is not helpful to solve the problem at all, and the idea is too high and too big to be implemented.

Xie Zhiyan does not have this problem, his good words are beautiful and powerful, and his language is simple with profound philosophy, which can be said to be a typical knowledge of things.

The Emperor stood beside him for a long time, trying to hold his mind steady, and his pen was as if he were in the slightest.

At the end of the palace exam, he was pointed out as a tanhua on the spot, which can be said to be the biggest dark horse in this exam, and Lin Zhaotang also successfully became a second-class jinshi and turned over.

What awaits them is a more complicated situation, the party struggle in the court is in full swing, the princeling party and the Xianwang party are officially facing each other, but it is a pity that the emperor has begun the way of checks and balances.

If you are weak, you will help, and if you have the upper hand, you will fight, and it is simply to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

In this way, the speed of the decree was greatly consumed, and everyone was busy standing in line, supporting for the sake of support, and opposing for the sake of opposition.

Xie Zhiyan and Lin Zhaotang were still just small scholars, responsible for reading and lecturing to the emperor, and occasionally drafting some irrelevant decrees.

Just when the matter was deadlocked, the queen's blunt admonition angered the emperor to be imprisoned in the palace, which caused a great shock, the prince's family was hit hard, and the forces of the harem also stood on the side of the virtuous king, not to mention that Li Jiayi had already turned his face with the prince.

Li Jiayi also took many measures later, but Xie Zhiyan and Gu Xixi's strict precautions failed at all.

Isn't it the same in her previous life, she tried her best to please the prince's brother, but she didn't expect the truth to be exposed in the end, and the prince turned his face ruthlessly, ignoring the love of brother and sister for so many years.

Since he is ruthless, then in this life she will not blame her for being unrighteous, she took out a few things that she expected in advance to make a deal with King Xian, and in the future, King Xian will ascend the throne to respect her as the eldest princess of the country and enjoy eternal honor.

King Xian listened to him, and sure enough, he won the favor of his father, and he also hit the prestige of the crown prince.

The two colluded all the way to win over people's hearts, and they were able to gain the upper hand, just when they were planning to create an incident in a hunt and fake the scene of the prince's assassination of the emperor, Lin Zhaotang rescued the driver.

The prince took advantage of the situation to confess and excuse himself, the father and son reconciled, and the emperor's health was not as good as before, and he began to snub King Xian.

Seeing that he was about to lose, King Xian jumped over the wall in a hurry, planning to do nothing and directly force the palace to rebel.

When the news came, the emperor was so angry that he had a stroke, the queen went out of the mountain to preside over the overall situation, the crown prince supervised the country, stabilized the situation, and promoted many talented new science and technology scholars who were surrounded by Xie Zhiyan and Lin Zhaotang, and the atmosphere of the court was greatly improved.

The Xianwang family was cleaned up, the killing circle was entered, and the henchmen were cut off one after another.
