Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

"This set of papers, you also follow along and do it together, and we will do it too."

In the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang asked people to distribute the test papers to the princes, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very relieved about Li Xiao's question.

According to Li Xiao's way of thinking, if he wanted to be a good official, he had to know a little bit about everything.

The master distributed the test papers to the princes and grandchildren.

Zhu Gaoxu looked confused, pointed to himself, and said, "Grandfather, why do I have to do the questions?"

Early this morning, Zhu Gaoxu was sent to the palace by Zhu Yuanzhang. He thought that there was something good waiting for him, but he came to do the question? ? ? ?
There are a bunch of radish heads in this big hall, and I am a big bastard to do the questions with them?
"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang dissatisfied: "Aren't you our grandson?"

Zhu Gaoxu pointed to his son Zhu Zhanhe who was sitting next to him, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "I'm a big bastard, it's not good to sit with my son and do the questions together."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank: "Do you have objections??"

Zhu Gaoxu hesitated: "Don't dare."

"His body is upright, and he does not follow orders. If his body is not upright, even though orders are not obeyed. Gao Xu, you are now in charge of the [-] battalions in the army, and you don't understand anything. How do you command the army?"

Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Gaoxu a blank look, took a paper and sat down, and said: "Let's do the questions with you, can you be older than us?"

How could Zhu Gaoxu dare to be stubborn, he could only admit it.

If I knew it was here to do the questions, I have to pretend to be sick.
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he looked at all the princes and grandchildren and said:

"Hmph, don't think that the results of this exam have nothing to do with you. The national teacher said that those who are capable in everything are given priority, and those who are capable are the first. , we still have rewards!"

Hearing this, it doesn't look like a joke.

Although the Supreme Emperor didn't care about government affairs, Zhu Di still didn't dare not listen to Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

In this way, everyone dare not neglect.

They seized the time and began to read the questions and answer them.

Zhu Gaoxu also became serious, picked up the pen, and looked down at the test paper.

Hey, if you get a high-ranking result in the test, can you ask to change your fief?

Whoever wants to go to the impoverished land of Yunnan.

Just because I hang out with my brother-in-law every day, can I not solve this question?

I really can't do it.

The first question stumped Zhu Gaoxu.

Then, neither will the second question, nor will the third question
Zhu Gaoxu just wanted to say, this question is too difficult!

But Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised there, and said, "What kind of question did Li Xiao come up with? Why is it so simple? Isn't this a question for a three-year-old child?"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately shut up.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, this topic was simply too simple.

Where is Wu Zetian buried in Qianling, Shaanxi? Is this a question?It's not difficult at all, it's clearly common sense.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the name of the test paper, he called it "common sense".
Oh, that's fine.

There will be no fools who can't do it, right?
Don't say it, there is
Obviously, many princes will not do it.

For example, Zhu Gaoxu was looking left and right, he stared at his son, and whispered: "Zhan He, pull the test paper over and copy it for Dad."

Zhu Zhanhe said naively: "Father, you are cheating. There are roads and hard work in the mountains of books. There is no limit to the sea of ​​learning and hard work. You should study hard instead of thinking about going the wrong way."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect his son to educate him in turn, and it seems that he still played less on weekdays, so he scolded angrily: "Your mother, your father will get a higher score in the exam, and when the time comes, you will get a good fief, and wait for your father." buried, who will inherit your father's throne?"

Zhu Zhanhe thought for a while, he seemed to be the son of the prince. When his father went to Xitian, he would be the King of Han, and if his father was divided into fiefdoms, wouldn't he be the one who enjoys the blessings?

So he smiled, "Father, what you said makes sense."

After speaking, he pulled the test paper aside, and Zhu Gaoxu had good eyesight, so he could see it at a glance, but found that the test paper was blank.

Zhu Gaoxu: "Zhan He, why don't you do it?"

Zhu Zhanhe: "Father, I can't either"

Zhu Gaoxu was furious, and used Li Xiao's scolding words to scold him: "You idiot, you don't know how, you dare to educate me, and see if I don't beat your ass when I go back at night."

Zhu Zhanhe smiled mysteriously: "Father, don't worry, the child has his own way."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zhanhe turned his head, looked at Li Wuyou on his right, and said, "Sister Wuyou, I think"

Before he finished speaking, Li Wuyou glanced at him, and then covered the test paper with his elbow.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanhe's heart ached.

Zhu Gaoxu's heart hurt even more.
How did you give birth to a stupid son!
Helpless, he can only rely on himself.

Zhu Gaoxu discovered that there are questions related to the art of war in common sense, so he filled up all the questions about the art of war, and filled in the rest.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Wuyou stood up and handed in the paper, which attracted a lot of attention.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in relief. As expected of Li Xiao's daughter, she is really good.

Then Zhu Zhanji also got up with a smile: "Grandfather, I'm done."

After speaking, he took the paper and handed it in.

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, he nodded in satisfaction. This great-grandson is also good. Zhu Zhanji Gao Chi's son, no wonder he is smart.
Then, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and sure enough, that idiot was sweating, and his son was not much better.
Half an hour later, the test paper was handed in, and Zhu Gaoxu filled it up, that is,
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the answers of Zhu Gaoxu's test paper, and then he became numb.
Question [-]: Where is the first female emperor buried?
Answer: Buried in the ground.

Question [-]: Who is the founder of Huaxia Humanities?
Answer: The first patriarch of the humanities.

Question [-]: The genius doctor Hua Tuo studied a kind of exercise for strengthening the body. What is it?
Answer: Eight Diagrams Boxing.

Question [-]: What are the five lakes and four seas that are often said?
Answer: East Lake, West Lake, South Lake, North Lake, and Middle Lake.East China Sea, West China Sea, North China Sea, and South China Sea.

Question [-]: Where is the source of the Yellow River?

Answer: At the source of the Yellow River.

Zhu Yuanzhang supported his forehead, dripping sweat
The only gratifying thing is that the common sense about the art of war is well done.

Subsequently,

After the general knowledge test, there are arithmetic, Confucianism, and policy theory.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know anything about the first two.

It's the turn of policy theory, the topic of policy theory is:
[Being an official is based on the people. If you are the chief of a village, the village is very dilapidated and poor; the villagers are ignorant and ignorant.Faced with such a situation, how do you lead the villagers to get rid of the current predicament and live a life of adequate food and clothing?Please write an article on this topic. 】

Policy theory Zhu Gaoxu looked at the topic and he knew it!

At the beginning, he was watching how his brother-in-law brought Beiping to the road of prosperity step by step.

"Brother-in-law said it was revitalization, right, revitalization of the countryside!"

When Zhu Gaoxu recalled it, his face became happy, and he began to write vigorously.

Fortunately, there is no requirement to use classical Chinese, so I can write!

An hour later.

Hand in the test paper.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Gaoxu's answer and was surprised.

He thought to himself: "Gao Xu is very knowledgeable about rural governance. The barbarians in Yunnan are ignorant. Wouldn't it be good to let him go to Yunnan to govern in the future? It seems that the fourth child is quite good at employing people. This Gao Xu, The fief is arranged in Yunnan!"

After two days of intense exams.

The entire national examination was successfully completed.

Candidates came out of the examination room one after another, and most of them could be seen frowning and complaining non-stop.

"It's too difficult, who made this set of papers?"

"I heard that the Imperial Teacher of the Ming Dynasty wrote the question himself."

"The final policy theory is simply too difficult. How can I write it out?"

"This national teacher simply doesn't follow the routine!"

"Hush, keep your voice down, the national teacher is a saint now, don't be disrespectful to the saint"

"Oh, but it's still difficult. The only thing that is easier to do is Confucianism. This time, Confucianism is very simple."

"Yeah, stereotyped essays have been cancelled. This Confucianism has been relaxed too much. This time, one topic is writing poems and chanting ambitions. It seems that the poetry world is about to rise."

"That's right, we still have an advantage. This time the question is difficult, but it's also difficult for others."

"That's right, the selection is based on the ranking, but this time there are 2000 candidates, and [-] candidates are selected, the chances are not high."

This examination room is a special session for Ming Dynasty scholars, and all candidates are scholars.

As for the students who graduated from Beiping High School, they now need to be admitted to Beiqing University before they can take the national examination.

However, due to the large number of candidates this time, the chances of admission are very small.

Everyone had no choice but to return to the inn one after another, waiting for news.

A boy in the crowd walked out of the examination room, Nan Nan said to himself: "It's too simple, it's too simple"

But he looked left and right, not daring to say that it was too heavy, for fear of being beaten.

This boy is Yu Qian.
In the following time, officials from the Ministry of Rites began to correct the test papers.

As usual, the test paper covered the name.

Correction speed is also very fast.

Because most of the questions have standard answers.

"This verse is good. Thousands of hammers and thousands of hammers have carved out a deep mountain, and the fire will burn like nothing. Don't be afraid of breaking your bones and breaking your body. You must stay innocent in the world."

In the marking classroom, an official from the Ministry of Rites suddenly stood up, looking at the poem full of praise.

"Good poetry! Unexpectedly, once stereotyped essays were canceled, such poetic talent would appear!"

"Can this poem be given full marks?"

"Full marks, must be full marks!"

The marking teachers spoke one after another.

Soon, good poems appeared one after another
The officials secretly thought that if the stereotyped essay was not taken, there would indeed be a lot of talents starting to stand out.

These people who can write good poems are often knowledgeable and talented, and they even do very well in other subjects.

On the other hand, those who scored high in the Confucianism test were not good at other subjects. At first glance, they were candidates who memorized by rote
It seems that it is not unreasonable for the National Teacher to cancel the imperial examination.
From these, we can see what each candidate is good at. For example, those who are good at governance are more suitable to be the head of the dormitory, and those who are good at arithmetic are suitable for the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of Industry, or to be a clerk in the county government.
The test papers are corrected very quickly.

However, because there were more than [-] test papers, officials from the Ministry of Rituals worked overtime and corrected them for five days and nights before finishing the corrections.

A week passed, and the imperial examinations were released.

The release of the list is different from the previous release.

Because of the large number of people, the rankings were published directly through newspapers.

Candidates can spend two cents to buy a newspaper, and then they can see whether they have been admitted. Everything is open and transparent, and everyone can see the scores of each subject.

"I'm on the list, I'm on the list!!"

In a restaurant, a scholar was reading the newspaper and found that he was on the list. He stood up and shouted in ecstasy.

"Keep your voice down, Fan Jin you."

Another classmate scolded him, feeling envious and jealous in his heart, but soon he also found his name on the list, and shouted happily: "Hahaha, I am also on the list!! General knowledge 55 points, arithmetic 35 points, 180 points for Confucianism, [-] points for policy theory, total score, [-] points! Just in the [-]th place, hahahahahaha."

Very loud sound.

A group of people scolded angrily: "Fan Jin, you! Two thousand people, you are just a dormitory member, so excited!"

The man hastily apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited."

Although the chance of admission is small, the number of people is here, 2000 people are admitted, and the joy of students can be heard everywhere in the city today.

However, when there is joy, there is sorrow, and howling is everywhere.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhu Yuanzhang is also looking at the ranking of the national examination.

After all, this is the first national exam for Ming Dynasty, so it has to be taken seriously.

"No.1 is actually a 15-year-old boy? But the total score is 350 points, and only [-] points?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at another list.

This is the list of the last imperial internal examination. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his score. The full score was 390. He scored [-] and [-] points.

"Sure enough, there are drawbacks to this stereotyped selection of scholars. This question is too simple. The highest one only scored 350 points?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Grandfather, in the past, they only read the Four Books and the Five Classics, let alone these common senses. I'm afraid there are many people who don't work hard and don't know the five grains."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "That's right, the reform is good. After this test, I found that they are all mediocre. They only understand Confucianism. It is indeed not good to be an official. The officials of the Ming Dynasty should learn some skills and serve the people well! "

Everyone nodded in approval.

As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the score of the last one again, and scolded: "The last one only scored 180 points, is this a pig's brain?"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu shrank his neck and flattered him: "Grandfather, you are really extremely intelligent. Competing with these scholars at such an age, your score is far superior."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the test scores, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and said in surprise: "Gaoxu, we underestimated you, you actually scored 240 points in the test, if you are ranked in the scores of this national test, you have already entered the top [-]. "

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up: "What? Grandfather, I got such a high score in the exam?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and read: "240 points for common sense, [-] points for arithmetic, [-] points for Confucianism, and full marks for policy theory, the total score is [-] points!"

Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed and said, "Grandfather, your grandson actually got such a high score?"

Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Li Xiao who were on the side were also surprised, thinking that they would not cheat.

"Did you cheat?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said.

"There is absolutely no such thing! The grandson did it all by himself."

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly defended.

"Hey boy, you got [-] points in the Confucianism test, it's impossible." Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply incredulous, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Come here, bring Zhu Gaoxu's test paper."

Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang got Zhu Gaoxu's Confucianism test paper, and then took a look.

Good guy, it turned out that he wrote a poem about the full score of entering the officialdom.

"Stay firm on the green hills and don't let go, the roots are originally in the broken rocks.

Thousands of blows are still strong, let the wind from east to west, north and south. "

Zhu Yuanzhang gasped, and praised him endlessly: "Good poetry, good poetry! Gao Xu, you have such a poetic talent, it's the emperor's grandfather who looked down on you!"

Zhu Di: "????"

Zhu Gaochi: "????"

Zhu Gaosui: "????"

Li Xiao: "????"

The whole family was blinded. Isn't this poem hanging in Zhu Di's study room? Unexpectedly, it was used by Zhu Gaoxu. No wonder he got such a high score in the exam.

Zhu Gaoxu was shameless, and he smiled and said: "Grandfather, is what you said at that time still worthwhile? Look, your grandson won the top [-] in the exam, won't you win the face of the royal family?
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a smile: "It is indeed a fight for face. Thanks to those scholars who have studied for a lifetime, they still can't pass you as a martial artist. Haha, what reward do you want?"

Zhu Gaoxu: "Hey, my grandson wants to change the fiefdom."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "We keep our word, but your matter has already been settled, so it's not easy to handle. We are the Supreme Emperor now, you have to ask the current sage, he has the final say."

Zhu Gaoxu cursed in his heart, Grandfather, you are a big hole, you really don't mean anything. It's useful to ask father, why should I ask you?
However, Zhu Gaoxu still smiled obsequiously, and looked at Zhu Di: "Master?"

Zhu Di: "Get lost!"

Zhu Gaoxu: "Alright!"
