Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1254 Promise
"By the way, Shangluo, since you are here, let me discuss the imperial examination with you. Elder Wen has told you, right? Try harder in March next year and try to pass the exam and get a first-class Jinshi."

"Eh???" Shangluo asked in surprise, "Isn't it the Queen of Autumn?"

"I told you in advance. I'm going to give you an extra exam. You go and prepare for that."

"Oh, this. Can I pass the exam?" Shangluo was confused. Jinshi, an unattainable dream, the pinnacle of the imperial examination system. He still had awe for the title of Jinshi, because he respected learned people.

"You are almost at the Jindan stage. It shouldn't be difficult to pass the imperial examination, right? You know the rules. First, the provincial examination determines the qualification, and then the palace examination determines the ranking. I'm telling you here, as long as you pass the provincial examination, I will directly select you as a first-class imperial scholar in the palace examination."

"Is this legal?"

"This is actually in accordance with the rules. You don't know that the palace examination is one of the most troublesome things for me at the beginning of the year. It is really a headache to rank those one or two hundred people and interview them one by one. Because everyone is a talent among talents. So here, although it is indeed my decision in principle, I usually let the cabinet decide. After all, let them do the things that offend people. And..."

There is another part that even Zhu Xianxin cannot explain.

"You understand, right?"

"I don't quite understand what the other part is?"

"In fact, after the examination, the candidates are selected based on their real abilities, and the rest are up to each other. At this time, I interview each candidate one by one. Although it helps to deepen the relationship, it is just a formality in terms of procedure. The real process is that the chief examiner of the year divides all the papers into two sides, first decides the second and third place, and then draws up a list of the top two and second place for me."

"What about the third flower?"

"The third place is the only one that is completely decided by me. After all, the third place is not based on scores, but only on appearance - don't underestimate the role of appearance. You can go and see everyone above the third rank, every one of them has a decent appearance. If the appearance is not so decent, they will pay special attention to the shape of their beard to modify themselves. If even the beard cannot be saved, such a person can't actually enter the cabinet."

"Is there any such thing?"

"Because at this level, all geniuses are similar, so they can only be distinguished by their faces. So face reading is very important. For people who have reached a certain level, whether they can get a high position can indeed be seen by looking at their faces. Good face is good, good face can get you promoted. Among the first-class Jinshi, there is a special award for the best face, and this award is entirely chosen by me. So, I plan to give this award to you."

"That's true. Thank you very much. But, this won't involve anything unfair, right?"

"No, because there is no special treatment for the Tanhua, and everyone goes to the Hanlin Academy. But in principle, the three first-class Jinshi can choose their destination first. Generally, the first choice is the Ministry of Rites, the first of the six ministries, followed by the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, and so on. If you don't choose these popular options, no one will say anything about you from beginning to end. Instead, someone will thank you for not taking their place - but then again, if you take their place, then what can you do about it. This world is not a dispenser, how can you guarantee that the error of each test tube meets the standard."

"No, no, it's better not to take it. Mainly, I'm not a full-time councillor. Councillors are very busy, right? If I take an important position and then don't come to the meeting, then people will criticize me. The last seat is fine, I have no objection. But I don't know if I can pass the exam."

"With your level, I think you can definitely do it. I don't actually trust your learning ability. After all, I can tell at a glance whether you can do it or not."

[Is your pain point touched? The person in front of you is a real scholar. He got into the university by himself. 】

"To be honest, I didn't study hard on the way to the exam, so it's normal that I can't pass the exam. But if that's the case, why do you think I can definitely pass it?"

"Because I estimate that you are not far from the Jindan stage. I am counting on this - there is no other way. There are only three months left. I can't expect you to reach the level of a Jinshi in three months. I am afraid that it will not be enough to pump knowledge into your brain with a high-pressure pump. I think the final solution is to let you reach the Jindan stage first, and then prepare for the exam." "Okay, okay." Although they didn't ask themselves, Zhu Xianxun and Wen Zhong seemed to have arranged everything, and arranged it properly. Without wasting too much of Shangluo's time, the two of them hoped that Shangluo could play his role to the maximum extent.

"Well, that's it." Zhu Xianxun walked out the door, "I'm going shopping with Zhu Ling in a while. See you later. Remember to come find me if you have anything. I'm a celestial being now. I'm 10 times stronger than before!"

"Your brother said he's 10 times stronger?"

"In what sense? Are you asking about daytime or nighttime? During the daytime, yes. But I don't know about nighttime. By the way, let me introduce him to you all." Zhu Ling pulled the new and old classmates next to him, "This is the Xiangrui I told you about before! This is a treasure of our country! The opportunity to see a national treasure doesn't come every day."

"Excuse me." Phaethon pulled Shangluo out.

Shangluo's steps were a little hesitant, and he actually felt a little unsatisfied.

"You're done." At the door, Phaethon shook his head, "Are you almost tamed by her?"

"What do you mean by taming? I just need to cooperate with her."

"Don't play the role-playing game with her anymore. You are not a 5-year-old child anymore."

"Hey, this isn't looking at"

"So if there are no other conditions, you prefer the type of Zhu Ling, right?"

[Let me explain, Zhu Ling's type is second. His favorite is actually Yan Qiu's type.]

"I don't even know it myself, how do you know?!"

[Nonsense, what's wrong with you saying that? Isn't it my analysis that makes sense? If you say that yourself, you're not yourself.]

"Tsk." Phaethon looked at him, "So, what is the standard?"

“I can’t really explain this.”

[In fact, he likes the hard-line type, or the equal type. He doesn't like being too gentle or too attentive. You are somewhere in between, so he only approves of your appearance 60%. ]

“But at least 80% inside!”
