I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

This is for candidates to answer questions, one person per table, and pen and ink are already prepared on the table.

There is only one question in the imperial examination, which is the policy question.

Examination questions are generally drafted by the cabinet first, and then submitted to the emperor for review, and finally one is selected as the examination question.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the emperor personally writes the question.

There is only one day for the palace examination, and the papers will be handed in before sunset.

"The Emperor is here!"

After the basic ceremony before the exam was completed, with a loud shout, the emperor finally appeared in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"See the emperor!"

All the candidates saluted together.

"All the students are flat!"

The emperor smiled and raised his hand to signal.

After the emperor gave a few words of encouragement as a routine, a cabinet official came out to preside over the test, ordered all the candidates to sit down, and began to distribute the test papers.

There is only one test question, about [-] characters.

Candidates are required to make in-depth debate and analysis on the content of the examination questions and express their own views.

After all, the ultimate purpose of the imperial examination is not to select talents, but to select officials.

Of course, if both painting and calligraphy are emphasized, it will be the icing on the cake, and it will make the emperor look differently.

After getting the test paper, all the candidates put aside their distracting thoughts and began to frown and think hard.

At this time, the emperor was sitting in front of the hall, his eyes wandered around, and finally fell on Gu Ming.

Although he had never met Gu Ming before, the seat where Gu Ming was sitting was arranged by him secretly, so that it was convenient for observation.

"Yu Aiqing"

After sitting quietly for a while, the emperor couldn't help but called out to an old minister standing to one side.

This person's name is Yu Wei, a cabinet scholar, and also the chief assistant of the cabinet. He is the head of all the officials in the court, which is equivalent to the position of the prime minister in the previous dynasty.

"emperor!"

Yu Wei hurriedly bowed sideways.

"Sit down, don't stand up."

"This humble minister is terrified."

Under normal circumstances, during the palace examination, the emperor would come and walk around and then leave, but today he was sitting here invigilating the examination with great interest. Yu Wei had no choice but to stand and invigilate the examination.

"I let you sit down, come and give me a seat!"

"Yes!"

Even a eunuch responded, and lifted a chair to Yu Wei's side: "Master Yu, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yu Wei saluted the emperor before sitting down.

After all, he is not young anymore, and he might not be able to stand for a long time.

"Yu Aiqing, if Gu Ming wins the number one prize this time, where do you think it would be better to arrange him?"

Yu Wei was stunned, and subconsciously replied: "Your Majesty, according to the long-standing rules of this dynasty, don't the champions first enter the Imperial Academy to be responsible for editing?"

Hanlin compiled and compiled from the sixth grade.

It seems that the official rank is not high, but this is just a springboard. After all, the Imperial Academy has always been the place where the imperial court trained senior officials. Many officials entered the Imperial Academy first, and then entered the cabinet.

The emperor smiled and said: "That's right, it was indeed like this before. But Yu Aiqing, it seems that there has never been a candidate who attracted Tian Xianrui when taking the exam, right?"

Hearing this, Yu Wei couldn't help but suddenly realized that the emperor wanted to reuse Gu Ming, and now he was just testing his attitude.

Could it be that the emperor wants this son to directly enter the cabinet?

After pondering for a while, Yu Wei couldn't help saying respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think that if this person really stands out as the number one scholar in high school, it's better to enter the Imperial Academy first."

The emperor frowned: "Why?"

"Your Majesty, the Hanlin Academy is also an important place for the imperial court, and Gu Sheng's going here is just a formality.

After a year and a half, the minister will recommend him to the emperor again, and recommend him to the cabinet. Isn't this the best of both worlds?It also saves some veterans from talking in front of the emperor. "

"Well, what Yu Aiqing said makes sense."

The emperor nodded thoughtfully.

After all, the position of the cabinet is too special, how many ministers in the court are staring at it?

It is indeed inappropriate to directly arrange for a newcomer to enter.

Although he is the emperor, he can be self-willed, but I am afraid that he will also attract criticism from many courtiers.

"However, Your Majesty, this son is indeed very comparable. I heard that this son is capable of martial arts and even spells.

The three-character scripture is even more amazing.I think that this son's achievements in the future may be incalculable."

"Haha, Yu Aiqing's thoughts coincide with mine."

The emperor smiled gratifiedly, and turned his eyes to the candidates below again.

In the field, none of the candidates started to write, and they were all in deep thinking.

Although the palace test is just a ranking, the ranking is very important to the future of an individual.

If you don't do well in the exam, I'm afraid you can only get fame. If you want to be an official, you have to wait in line slowly.

At noon, the drowsy emperor suddenly regained his energy.

Because, Gu Ming finally started to write.

During the provincial and general examinations, he attracted phenomena from the heavens, which is why the emperor made an exception to stay in the examination room today.

He wanted to see with his own eyes whether there would be another miracle this time.

This is one of them.

Second, the "Three Character Classic" written by Gu Ming has been recognized by him as a masterpiece of the world. Such a talent can be said to be rare in a thousand years, so he will naturally pay special attention to it.

"There are three foundations for governing a country, four solid foundations for a peaceful country, and five things for a rich country. Five things, and five classics."

"I have tried to seek the heart of ancient benevolent people, or the difference between the two, why? Don't be happy with things, and don't be sad with yourself.

If you live high in a temple, you worry about the people, and if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about your ruler.

It is also worrying about advancing, and worrying about retreating.So when will you be happy?

It must be said to worry about the world's worries first, and to be happy after the world's joy."

In this policy theory, Gu Ming borrowed a few sentences from "The Story of Yueyang Tower", supplemented with some ideas from previous lives, and combined with the current political situation, he was eloquent and eloquent.

"hold head high"

When I was writing vigorously, a long howling sound suddenly came from the sky, and the sound shook the whole field.

Before everyone came back to their senses, there was another crisp cry like a phoenix.

"This"

Yu Wei's face changed in shock, and he hurriedly raised his head to look at the sky.

At the same time, all the candidates also put down their pens and looked around.

The sound came from nowhere, it seemed to be in the ear, and it seemed to be in the sky

Chapter 197 title on the gold list, high school champion! ! !

A palace examination also affected the hearts of many people outside the palace.

After all, every imperial examination will involve various interests and personal connections.

Especially some candidates with special status.

For example, some disciples from powerful families, some disciples of important officials in the court, and so on.

Even some poor students, after coming to the capital, they will inevitably be wooed by all parties in advance, and it is almost impossible to be alone.

Tianzhao Temple.

Sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, Pudu Cihang changed from the calm and calm appearance of an eminent monk in the past, his brows were tightly frowned, and his eyes changed from time to time.

A black-robed man bowed his waist, and was describing the results of his investigation in Guobei County.

"This disciple went to Guo Bei and inquired a lot of news secretly."

"In Guobei County, the reputation of the boy surnamed Gu can be said to be in the sky, and everyone knows it."

"That kid is doing a lot of construction work near Lanruo Temple"

"What's strange is that this kid was not outstanding before, he was just an ordinary scholar, that is, he rose rapidly in the past year"

"This son has a close relationship with a Taoist named Yan Chixia in the Jianghu"

"okay!"

Purdue Cihang waved his hands impatiently.

"Speaking of it, you still haven't figured out his real background. This son's way is very strange, very similar to the legendary Confucianism and Taoism."

"Confucianism and Taoism? Isn't it long gone?"

"Wrong, Confucianism and Taoism are not declining, but have become popular all over the world and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

Just when he said this, a long howl echoed in the sky, causing Pudu Cihang's expression to change suddenly, and he hurriedly raised his head to look up at the sky.

"Miss, Longlong"

In Luo Mansion, Jin'er raised her finger to the sky, stuttering and unable to speak.

Luo Yan also looked shocked, watching a faint shadow of a dragon spinning in the sky.

It was not a real dragon, but a faint phantom, like a cloud.

But it was alive and well, flying up and down in the direction of the palace.

At this time, the entire capital was already boiling.

Including the people in the suburbs, they also saw this rare spectacle in a millennium.

Not long after, a phoenix shadow also appeared above the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

For a while, the dragon roared and the phoenix screamed, and a dragon and a phoenix flew up and down to play, stirring up the white clouds in the sky, and the clouds turned and surged for a while, which was truly spectacular.

"gollum"

Yu Wei was stunned for a while, then swallowed involuntarily.

Then the old man burst into tears and bowed to the emperor: "Congratulations to my emperor, the prosperity of the dragon and the phoenix is ​​a sign of great auspiciousness. Fortunately for this dynasty, my emperor's prosperity is as good as the sky, and will last forever!"

As soon as he took the lead, other officials, eunuchs, and maids at the scene also bowed in unison: "The emperor's blessings are as good as the sky, forever!"

"The emperor's blessings are equal to the sky, forever!"

A group of candidates also stood up one after another, bowed their hands and saluted and drank.

"Hahaha, good, great, I am so lucky!"

Looking at the shadow of the dragon and phoenix above the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor's voice became a little choked up in excitement.

Cining Palace.

"The dragon and the phoenix present auspiciousness. This is the fortune of this dynasty and the blessing of my son!"

The queen mother murmured to herself with tears in her eyes.

"Congratulations to the Empress Dowager, all blessings to the Emperor!"

All the court ladies knelt and saluted together.

Kunning Palace.

The empress looked pious, and led a group of court ladies to bow to the sky
