Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 124 Lao Zhu’s Imperial Examination

In terms of marking, after the initial chaos, Prince Zhu Biao was coordinating the overall situation, and things quickly got on track.

The comprehensive knowledge test paper has standard answers, and the scoring standards are also set.

As for the review of policy papers, it is not much different from the past. The only difference is that the test questions themselves and the purpose of setting the questions are different.

time flies.

It’s finally time to release the rankings.

Early in the morning, people gathered outside the lobby of the Rites Yamen.

The shops facing the street are bustling with people, there are an endless stream of scholars on the streets, and there are endless talks in the wine shops.

"It's on the list!"

"Listed!!"

At this time, a shout of releasing the results was heard, and the scene exploded as if water was dropped into a pot of boiling oil.

On the street, the scholars in the wine shop rushed towards the lobby of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

In front of the big bang, people had already gathered, and the big bang was completely surrounded.

"Give way!"

"The person in front let it go!"

More than a dozen soldiers guarded the examiner who was releasing the results, forced their way to the front of the list, and finally pasted the list stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Rites in front of the list.

On both sides of the big list, apricot flowers are in bloom.

Under the apricot blossoms.

This is the appearance of all living beings in the human world.

Some are happy and some are sad.

"As expected, I lost the election. I have worked hard to prepare for so long. I am really unwilling to accept it."

"I got it, I actually got it, haha!"

"I'm on the list too!"

There are also those who stand under the apricot list and directly curse.

"It's not fair. This year's imperial examination is not fair at all!"

"That is, the content of the test has nothing to do with the sage's words and is contrary to the way of reading!"

"This imperial examination is unfair. I request a retake!"

No one paid any attention to the barking of these losers.

These so-called scholars will disperse when they get tired.

Li Jin, standing in the crowd, looked up.

Start scanning from the end of the list and look up one by one.

No, no, still no.

The more he looked at it, the colder his heart became.

Did you fail?

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Li Jin's lips. It seemed that he had to go back to teaching.

I have reached the front of the list, but I still don’t have my name.

However, it has always been Li Jin's habit to do things from beginning to end.

He decided to read the entire list.

Li Jin's eyes widened.

Looking at Li Jin who is at the top of the list.

Even though he was as calm as he was, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face when he saw this result.

Li Jin not only made the list, but also won the first prize!
This is almost the highest honor for a scholar.

He took a few deep breaths before he calmed down, and became even more grateful to Yang Xian.

He believes that if he had not spent those few months teaching in Yangzhou, he would never have achieved this ranking.Even if I still maintain the inherent thinking of a scholar like before, I might lose my reputation.

Candidates who are on the list for the general examination are Gongshi.

For them, there is one last exam after that, which is the palace exam.

However, since the palace examination only determines the ranking, there is no problem of being dismissed.

Therefore, as long as you know how to try and get on the list, your reputation is already stable.

At this point, the candidates will basically not have any psychological burden, and those who want to celebrate can celebrate.

Of course, most people are still seriously preparing for the upcoming palace examination.However, after experiencing this kind of devilish examination before, they suddenly had no idea what to expect in the palace examination, let alone how to prepare for it.

The palace examination is presided over by the emperor himself.

The rankings are divided into three categories: the first category is awarded to Jinshi and the first three, and only the top three are the number one scholar, the second best, and the third best, collectively known as Sandingjia; the second category is awarded to several people who were born in the Jinshi, and No. 1 is called Chuanlu; the third category is the gift Several people were born with Jinshi.Those in the first, second and third grades are generally called Jinshi.

If you become a Jinshi, your fame will come to an end.

The questions for the general examination were marked by Zhu.

The topic of the imperial examination was set by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with his topic.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the examination questions he set not only fully met the requirements of the imperial examination reform, but also could logically lead to the talents needed by the court for the next imperial examination, which was simply perfect.

Although the questions for this Enke scientific examination were created by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and his son, in fact they were all created after being influenced by Yang Xian.

In other words, Yang Xian himself was the real leader of this imperial examination reform.

For the first time in the Ming Dynasty, a total of 36 tributes were selected.

These are also the first batch of tributes from the Ming Dynasty, and these people will also be the future pillars of the imperial court.

As the saying goes, when heaven entrusts people with great responsibilities, they must first work hard on their minds and muscles, so that they can carry the country and the country.

Zhu Yuanzhang made a bold decision in his heart and decided to send these educated youths to the mountains and countryside in early March, which was the time of spring plowing this year.

Before that, there was another palace examination.

in front of the main hall.

"The Emperor has a decree to summon the Xinke Gongshi to take the imperial examination!" followed by the shout of the chamberlain.

The 36 tributes held their heads high and walked through the dragon path towards the main hall.

How many students have lived in poverty for more than ten years just for this moment.

These 36 people were undoubtedly lucky and happened to usher in the reform of the imperial examination.

If we still follow the previous scientific examination model of the Four Books and Five Classics, they may not necessarily have a place in this hall at this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the Dragon Court, scanning the students below.

Since it was the first time for the students to go to the court to meet the Holy Spirit, most of them seemed a little cautious, but overall their temperaments were good. Although they were nervous, they did not appear to be intimidated.

Especially Li Jin, who was standing in front, showed no stage fright at all.

This person is probably the Li Jin that the boss mentioned. He is indeed the best among men.If there were no imperial examinations to be held, Zhu Biao would have summoned Li Jin long ago, because Li Jin's answer to the question "How to quickly replenish the treasury" can be said to have completely penetrated Zhu Biao's heart.

Zhu Biao saw the shadow of Yang Xian in Li Jin's answer, and this was what pleased him the most.

Looking across the 36 students present one by one, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded without any trace. He was very satisfied with the results of the imperial examination.

In the main hall, everyone was waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to give the question.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the time was almost up and said, "Bring it up."

After the words fell, the palace guards walked in from outside the hall carrying three large baskets of rice.

paddy? !
All the candidates looked at these three baskets of rice and were stunned.

What does this mean?
In this scientific examination, not only will you try to be a demon, but will the same be true for the palace examination?

This familiar yet terrible feeling gave them a bad premonition. Thinking of the three days of torture, some of them turned pale.

There were also some active students who immediately forced themselves to calm down and began intense brainstorming.

Try your best to connect this rice with the test questions.
