Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 407
Bai Shiqian kept smiling, standing beside Gu Qingjue, thinking that the eldest princess' youngest son was quite interesting.

"I heard that after the reform of the scientific examination, the students who fail can participate in a re-examination, which will be held three days later."

Bai Shiqian said: "In this way, the palace examination has to be postponed. I don't know if the palace examination can be carried out smoothly at the end of April."

"Brother Changfeng, don't worry, your grades are very high."

Bai Shiqian looked at the results and was a little excited. If the result after the palace examination was not much different from this, it would be the second best.

This kind of achievement is enough to make the Bai family leap from a businessman to a noble family. This is a class leap.

Three days later, it was the retest day for the students who failed the provincial exam. Like the normal provincial exam, the exam took three days, and it was already the sixth day of April after the exam.

The marking time this time was not as long as before. After about half a month, the re-examination ended.

Four students passed.

That is to say, they can participate in the palace examination together with the previous batch of students who passed.

The palace examination is on the tenth day of April.

In the Chongzheng Hall, there have long been servants who have arranged the positions of the students who have won the provincial exam. The topic of this exam was drawn up by Zhao Zhen himself. Even Fan Chongyan, Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu and others who participated in the review did not know the exam papers. Content.

The three of them are actually the same as the candidates, and they have to answer the questions on the spot.

As for the final answer, it is up to His Majesty to explain.

The main content of the examination is still the same as the provincial examination, consisting of strategies, theories, and poems.

Students should write strategies and theories based on the Confucian classics they have mastered, combined with the actual situation of the imperial court, and at the same time emphasize the examinee's ability to express in writing eight questions selected from "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites".

Compared with the provincial test, the content needs to be more thorough, and it depends on which student can agree with His Majesty's point of view.

The time for the palace examination is also relatively long, from Sishi to the end of Youshi.

After the test papers are handed in, they will be sent to the middle left gate on the east side of the Chongzheng Hall, where an official Mi Feng will seal the test papers with anonymized names, then put the test papers into a fixed box, and send them to the Funing Hall where the official family is located.

The ministers who participated in the reviewing of the papers were in the Funing Palace, and they were reading the papers together with the officials.

It usually takes a day or two.

This year, the officials asked them to hurry up and mark the papers, because this year's reform of the imperial examinations added a re-examination, which delayed for a long time.

Fan Chongyan and Ouyang Xiu, as the chief examiners and adjutants of the provincial examination, are somewhat familiar with Gu Qingjue's words.

The two wanted to see what attitude the officials had towards this student.

After some discussion, put this test paper at the end.

As expected, when the officials saw the last test paper, they were deeply attracted by the content of the test paper, and they directly chose it as the champion.

When the name is announced, the word Gu Qingjue makes Zhao Zhen very happy.

This Gu Ziyuan did not disappoint him.

On April [-]th, the results of the palace examination came out, number one: Gu Qingjue, second place: Ruan Keming, candidate: Xin Zisheng.

Chen Keming is a student of Bailudong Academy, and Xin Zisheng is a student of Yingtian Academy.

In the Renzong Dynasty, Jinshi was not only divided into three grades, but into six grades, the first grade was five, the second grade was called the first grade, and the sixth grade was the fifth grade.

People like Gu Qingjue, Ruan Keming and Xin Zisheng belonged to the first class.

There are two other people in the first class, Lu Jiayu from Chongyang Academy like Gu Qingjue, and Li Hongyue from Yuelu Academy.

Li Duanyuan is at the end of the fourth place, and Leng Zhongyan and Bai Chengnan are only one place apart, ranking in the middle of the third place.

As for Bai Shiqian, he is in the middle of the second place.

Gu Qingjue bestowed the number one scholar and the title, the other four first-class scholars were awarded the Jinshi degree, and the others were awarded the Jinshi background.

After the ranking was drawn up, the Chuanlu official Gao Sheng sang and read the names of these Jinshi.

Naturally, start with the No.1 champion.

The No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua are led by the praise officer to the lower steps of the Daqing Hall. The No. [-] Scholar is slightly ahead of the No. [-] and Tanhua, and is exactly in the center of the steps.

Zhao Zhen stood on the steps, looking at Gu Ziyuan who Zhao Jin had been talking about for many years.

I heard that there is still about a month to go, and he is only 17 years old, but he stood there calmly, without the ecstasy after winning the first prize, just smiled slightly and looked forward, facing the congratulations of others with restraint.

Looking at Gu Ziyuan's appearance again, Zhao Zhen couldn't help joking with Fan Chongyan who was standing beside him: "If it wasn't for the fact that the article is really brilliant for such a character, he should be a prostitute, so as not to humiliate his face."

Ouyang Xiu is old-fashioned, so he didn't hear Zhao Zhen's teasing, so he said, "Talent is more important than face. With Gu Ziyuan's talent, he will definitely be able to become a capable minister and assist His Majesty."

"Well, what Xiu said is true!"

In order to show how much he valued Gu Qingjue and the others, five of them were given officials immediately.

According to the usual practice, the number one scholar is usually awarded the official position of the sixth rank or the seventh rank, but Zhao Zhen directly awarded Gu Qing the privy decree of the sixth rank.

When it comes to the Privy Council, we have to talk about the Privy Council.

The Privy Council of the Northern Song Dynasty originated from the previous dynasty. At the beginning, it was set up during the Yongtai period of the previous dynasty. The eunuch trusted by the emperor served as the chief, and the chief was named Privy Envoy.

The main function is to accept the ministers and local memorials and convey the emperor's orders. At this time, the Privy Council is biased towards civil affairs.

When it came to our dynasty, the Privy Council focused on military management. For example, the Privy Envoy served by Kong Chong was the highest officer of the Privy Council, and the prime minister was equivalent to the Song Dynasty.

Let's talk about the setting of the Privy Council. There are a total of twelve different power units, called the Twelve Chambers.

There are also clerks, a total of 38 people, including three deputy ministers of the room, five in charge, two in charge of guarding the gate, 13 in Lingshi, and 15 in Shulingshi.

Gu Qingjue is one of the three deputy ministers of Zhufang.

The Privy Council is in charge of military and state affairs, military affairs, frontier preparations, government orders for soldiers and horses, secret orders for cashiers, and stability and stability for the country.

In fact, when the New Deal was reformed last year, someone proposed that the prime minister should also serve as the privy envoy to unify the functions and powers.

But an organization involves a lot of people. After the prime minister concurrently took office, many things are not as simple as imagined. Another one was Lu Yijian who was the prime minister before. After he resigned due to health reasons, the next prime minister did not have the courage .

As a privy envoy, Kong Chong couldn't just sit and watch as his position was merged.

So I gave up on this proposal.

It was already the second day of June when the official announced the good news, beat gongs and drums, and sent the news of winning the first prize to Wangjia Village.

Just the day before, Su Yixin and his group finally walked out of the Demon Palace. Although Su Yixin's cultivation was still in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, after half a year of experience in the Demon Palace, his cultivation was very solid, and he only waited for a good opportunity , you can break through again.
