Chapter 320

The palace examination began, but the first round left people dumbfounded.

I saw Lu Xuanqing and the two ministers standing in front of the emperor's desk with their backs to the crowd, they actually picked up the pen that the emperor put on the desk, and the three of them wrote a word in turn, and handed it to the emperor.

Then the emperor said the content of these three words aloud to the high platform.

They are: virtue, propriety, benevolence

In other words, this is to discuss these three characters?

Many students looked at the paper and pens in front of them, and then heard Lu Xuanqing say:
"After a stick of incense, hand in the paper and start answering the questions."

Now that's all right, many students started to write immediately, some were still hesitant, and some stopped while writing.

For a while, I heard the rustling sound falling on the paper, which is really surprising.

Lu Xuanqing and the two ministers personally supervised, and they didn't go down and walk around, but their eyes wandered around, taking everyone's actions into their minds one by one.

When students are answering questions, no matter how big your doubts are, no one will ask them at this time.

So for a while, the arena was really quiet and scary.

The time for a stick of incense is coming soon, and as the servant announces that the time is up, all the students must stand up and stop writing.

Then the waiter came over and collected their answer sheets.

The strange thing came again. After these servants put away the answer sheets, they actually messed up the order in front of everyone, and then divided them into five equal parts, and then covered all the places where they wrote the numbers with sealed paper.

In this way, everyone understands that this is a mixed test, and no one can cheat.

The officials feel that this is a bit harsh, but all the students feel that it is very fair and just
Even the panic that was just now subsided immediately, and some students even said;
"It is our blessing to be so just and fair."

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen something so fair and just, I wouldn't even try it."

"Shh, keep your voice down, let's have a look again."

The answer sheets were collected, all the test questions were shuffled, and at this moment another servant came up, and they carried five tables and placed them directly in front of the emperor's desk, with their backs to everyone, but facing the emperor, everyone exclaimed, this is the emperor Is it impossible to watch the questions in person?
They really got the answer right, indeed, Emperor Kanghe immediately announced that the five great scholars had an audience.

Long before the announcement of the rankings, these five bachelors were called into the palace by the emperor without any news. Everyone didn't know what happened. Only at this moment did they realize that the emperor wanted them to review the papers again.

After the five bachelors sat down, the five shuffled question papers were placed in front of them respectively. They were divided into three grades, top, middle and bottom, and they were directly marked with a pen in the designated place next to the seal on the far left.

When everyone thought it was over, they only heard Lu Xuanqing say again:

"Second question, prepare."

What?And the second question?Didn't the previous imperial examinations all rely on the emperor to draw people to answer, and focus on argumentation?Generally, they only ask the top ones, and then select the top pick, the second place, and the top pick from the top ones.

The other people's rankings are pushed back once, basically there is not much difference from the quiz.

But at this moment, it seems that nouns that will be tried are not so important anymore?

Originally, Lan Linlang didn't need to participate. After all, the emperor had ordered his Qingyun Road to be cut off, but His Majesty also personally sent someone to Lan's house to order Lan Linglang to participate.

This is also the reason why Lan Tingzhi, who has already retired, came back. After all, his own son is there.

230 eight people, everyone looked at Lu Xuanqing on the high platform, and they were also analyzing the palace test in their hearts. The more they analyzed, the more they exclaimed. In fact, it may not be a bad thing that their nouns can be rearranged.

But what the top three Su Guangsheng, Li Gangyu, and Lan Linlang think in their hearts can be understood by looking at the sweat on their foreheads.

Again as before, the three of them came before the emperor and wrote down the topic.

In the end, the emperor read it out himself. The second question was a real political discussion that everyone had prepared for.

The first one, published by Zuo Shangshu: On the Yellow River breaking its embankment.

The second is from Liu Shangshu: On Epidemics.

The third one is from Lu Xuanqing: On Bandits.

There is nothing wrong with the first two ways, but the third way everyone is dumbfounded, and the officials are also dumbfounded, talking about gangsters?
What kind of subject is this?What else can the thugs prove?

But the question has already come out, Kang Hedi will not read it out if he does not approve, so this time it will take a little longer, and it takes three incense sticks to answer all the answers before it is over.

Some officials are thinking about these three questions. There is nothing to think about the first two questions, but the third one, the bandits, is related to military officers. Generals who usually think that this imperial examination is a matter for literati, it is the third question. Once I started to feel that this palace test was a bit interesting.

Everyone is even guessing, but there is still a third round.

It's just that when the time was up, Lu Xuanqing announced that the answering questions were over and they were waiting for the review, or even waiting here, and no one was allowed to go out.

You said you wanted to go to the bathroom, did you see that?The Imperial Forest Army guards the gate in person, and if someone tells you, even if you are an official, there will be more than five officers and soldiers personally escorting you. If you have the ability, you can speak and pass on news, as long as you have the ability.

Everyone also discovered at this time that Shen Tai and Shen Dutong, who hadn't shown up for a long time, actually led the troops outside the hall. They didn't think about your lord for a while, and they all began to guess whether this palace exam was too harsh?

The harshness is a bit too much, is there something happening in this?
As for the faction of the three princes who had something to do with this fraud, there are even a few people who have never stopped sweating on their foreheads, but they don't know that there are dozens of imperial guards hidden in this palace, and the officials' Responses are fully documented.

An hour later, after the review of the papers by the five bachelors was over, His Majesty ordered the papers to be shuffled again, and the places they marked were sealed again.

Then Emperor Kanghe invited the other five bachelors from the Hanlin Academy to come out again, and sat in the positions of the previous five bachelors again for review.

Such strictness made everyone dumbfounded.

It was already past noon, but the emperor did not move, who would dare to move without authorization?

During the period, the servants brought two big bowls of big steamed buns, and the Imperial Forest Army personally handed them out, one for each person. No one dared to say that the food was poor. Didn’t you see that even Kang and Emperor ate this?Why didn't I see Kang Hedi said.

However, this appearance made many students have more confidence in the imperial court. You must know that there are always more poor students than rich ones. This white flour steamed bun is extremely precious to many families.

It's good to have a family. Seeing this steamed bun, you can't eat it, but when you see Kang and Di eating it, you can't eat it.

Lu Xuanqing couldn't help but smile when he saw all kinds of beings, he just ate a steamed bun, and looked at these officials, each one was wronged, this is the current Great Wei State, this is the current Great Wei State.

Corruption and embezzlement are almost full of it, slowly corroding the center of the Great Wei Kingdom like moths.

If these bugs are not removed from the roots and replaced with fresh blood, how can it be possible?

Emperor Kang and Emperor had mixed feelings in his heart. When Lu Xuanqing said that he would hand over the full power to him, he didn't expect that even the meals would be included. The problem is that some officials even vomited while eating. Such a good thing for the common people is actually hard for them to eat.

But in the eyes of these students, they feel that the imperial court is so precious and close to the people.

What a joke, after being an emperor all his life, he was not as clear as Lu Xuanqing's little hand.
