Chapter 553 Palace Examination Gold List (Part [-])
In the Zhongji Hall, the five ministers of the cabinet, Jiuqing and other ministers were holding a palace examination paper, and they were examining it carefully. Many people frowned slightly as they watched.

Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun looked around with a serious face, looked around at the ministers, and suddenly asked: "What do you think about my policy today?"

Zhu Yijun's question lacked the immaturity of a young emperor, and added a bit of deep concern for the country and the people, which made it difficult for all the officials present to open their mouths.

At such a moment, the chief assistant had to be the first to speak. Guo Pu put down the policy question paper, pondered for a while, and said, "The emperor's policy question today is thoughtful and simple. It doesn't refer to one thing, but the plan is broad and extensive. I worry that the Chinese-style scholars have no experience in governance, and their answers may become mere formalities..."

Zhu Yijun's face remained unchanged, he nodded slightly, and asked Zhang Siwei, "What do you think of Ci Kui?"

Zhang Siwei's answer was much more concise than Guo Pu's. He saluted the emperor and said calmly: "This is the prime minister's question."

Of course, the Ming Dynasty did not have a prime minister for a long time, but everyone has long been accustomed to using the prime minister to refer to the cabinet ministers, including the emperors themselves, often use this way of expression, so it is not impossible to break the ban.

However, Zhang Siwei's answer was straightforward enough. What he meant was: this question is not a test for a new scholar, but a test for a prime minister.All the ministers in the court also nodded their heads to express their approval—in fact, what Guo Pu said just now meant the same thing, but Guo Pu said it in a subtle way.

However, Zhu Yijun just smiled, and said: "The general examination and the palace examination are the great ceremonies of the state. The scholars selected are all the pillars of the state. Presumably there will be a prime minister from them in the future. I think it is very good to try it now."

Ordinary people may not be able to understand the meaning of the emperor's words, but Guo Pu and others were moved in their hearts, "In the future, there must be a minister from it"?It should be noted that there is not a single prime minister in a subject, but there are many, why is the emperor so sure?Could it be that he has confirmed that among the undergraduate Jinshi... there must be Zaifu?
Guo Pu bowed and said, "Your Majesty's love of talents is known to all the ministers and empathizes with them. Now the auspicious time is approaching. Please invite the emperor to receive Chinese-style Jinshi and announce the imperial examination."

Before the emperor led all the senior officials to the stage, the examinees had already seized the time to line up in front of the palace gate, and under the leadership of the guide officer, they filed towards the Zhongji Hall.After entering the door, each person can even receive a box of palace cakes and a bottle of fruit juice made by the imperial dining room.Many people were overjoyed that the treatment of Jinshi was good, and they had just passed the exam, and their rankings hadn't even been determined yet, so they started to eat and drink.

Excited, the examinees followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites and walked through the screen wall to the square. The court houses on both sides of the square made the road to Zhongji Hall seem very long.After passing through two palace gates, I suddenly saw a very open platform, with white marble fences carved with dragons and painted buildings, and rows of neat tables and chairs, which further set off the majestic and majestic Zhongji Hall at the end. Incomparable.

Feeling the majesty and majesty of the imperial palace for the first time, all the Gongsheng students felt a sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts. In the eyes of the world, Zhongji Hall is undoubtedly a symbol of imperial power. Why else is the capital called "Zhongji Hall University Scholars"?

The officials who came in earlier had already separated on both sides of the red carpet on the platform, and the Gongsheng students also stood behind the officials on the left and right under the guidance of the officials from the Ministry of Rites.Gao Yushi is Huiyuan, the so-called "Miansheng, the foreman of the Jinluan Temple", so he stands first among the tributes.

When everyone stood still, there was loud music on the platform, accompanied by Huang Zhong Da Lu, Xiao Sheng, reed flute, and chime bells and copper chimes.

Amidst the sound of playing music, the figure of Zhu Yijun, the ruler of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty with trillions of people, the emperor of Wanli, finally appeared in front of the Zhongji Hall.

The young emperor is wearing ordinary clothes today, wearing a black gauze scarf with folded corners on his head, and a bright yellow robe with a narrow collar and narrow sleeves. The chest, back and shoulders are each embroidered with gold-woven dragons, and the waist is tied with a jade belt, which is graceful and noble. [This attire was custom-made in the third year of Yongle. ]
"The ministers kowtow to my emperor, long live long live long live..." The voice of Shan shouting long live is always so shocking, especially for Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Wanli who is not yet officially in charge of the government.

However, Zhu Yijun does not plan to speak in person - he has just passed the voice change period, and he will feel uncomfortable if he speaks too loudly, and he himself feels that his voice is not the type of "Hong Zhong Da Lu" and lacks some majesty, so he simply does not Speaking in person, just let the officials of the Ministry of Rites proclaim the imperial decree.By the way, eunuchs will not be allowed to announce the decree today.

Although the emperor didn't want all the new scholars to listen to Lun's voice, many of the Gongsheng students who saw Tianyan and listened to the hadith for the first time were so excited that they burst into tears, although they couldn't scream. But there were several fainted.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yijun couldn't help being a little proud, and his posture in front of the hall was even more upright.But Gao Wushi knew that the Gongsheng students were not necessarily fainting because of the excitement of seeing the emperor, but more likely that they were remembering and commemorating their long, difficult and unbearable scholar career.

However, he himself didn't have any special feelings. After all, the exam went smoothly all the way, he didn't experience so much suffering, and he didn't have so many unsatisfactory things to grieve for. The group of guys behind know that you were wearing the eunuch costume to play the leaf card with me not long ago, I wonder if they will be shocked?"

Just as he was thinking wildly, the imperial decree was finally read out.With a serious expression on his face, Zhu Yijun picked up the cutting knife, unsealed the test questions on Huang's case himself, and awarded them to Guo Pu, the chief assistant beside him.

Old Guo Ge held the test question in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "The Gengchen Imperial Examination in the eighth year of Wanli, the test begins!" Then he handed it over to Pan Sheng, Minister of Rites.

Next, a group of officials who were called to support the scene began to leave, but senior officials such as the five ministers of the cabinet, the officials of the six departments, and the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate still led a group of document readers and supervisors.

However, the scholars don’t have the time to pay attention to them now. When the test papers are distributed, they quickly open them one by one to read. Unexpectedly, this question is extremely long. It is more like an article than a question.

At this time, the loud and heavy voice of the chief assistant Guo Pu also just came: "This question is written by the Holy Majesty himself. It is not easy to write a word for the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites. You need to understand it carefully and answer it seriously."

Everyone knew that this topic was completely inspired by the holy will, they couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of spit, and looked at it seriously.

This topic is really very long: "I heard that governance is rooted in Dao, and Dao is rooted in virtue, and those who discuss governance in ancient and modern times must compromise with Confucius. Confucius told Lord Lu that government is based on the Nine Classics, but it is based on the Three Virtues.

As far as the Song official Sima Guang said, there are three great virtues of a human monarch, namely benevolence, Ming and martial arts.If he is in harmony with Confucius?Guangli has experienced three dynasties, and the three are presented with his words, which is self-proclaimed to be the most refined and important!
However, my view of ancient records is different!It is said that its benevolence is like heaven, and its wisdom is like gods.It is said that he is benevolent and amiable, and his words are credible, but they are not as good as Wu Ye.Under the business alone, there is a reputation for bravery, fame, and victoriousness. How can it be said that the queen king is still a martial artist?

The master of the great Lung Ji of the modern age, if he is tolerant and loving, knowing people and being good at tasks, or the Ming and Ming Dynasties, he is arrogant and decisive, or his career is better than Tang Wu, and his governance is almost healthy, or he is benevolent, filial, friendly, smart and open-minded, then he is beautiful!And the three virtues are not pure, but they are enough to create Hongxu, why?

It seems that those who keep the successful smuggling industry are not as good as they are.Or be called Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Renzong of Song by benevolence, Emperor Ming of Han and Emperor Ming of Tang by Ming, Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Wuzong of Tang by Wu.
The so-called combination of the three means that if the governance deficiency is one, it will decline, and the other will be in danger. Shouldn't it also be blamed for being too prepared?

There are also those who neglect the six precepts, saying that the precepts are too chaste, and the precepts are endless.Those who suffer from nine evils are said to be smart and powerful.The above six things are said not to like military punishment, and not to use wisdom and numbers.Is it relevant to the three virtues?
I have been in charge of the world for more than eight years, and I am vigilant against morning revival in the evening, and I will always cherish the truth.However, the discipline is orderly and the officials are playing, the fields are cultivated and the people are poor, the schools are austere but the scholars are stealing, the borders are despised and the soldiers are rioting, and the supervision and arrest are strict but the robbers are rampant. Where is the blame?Is it true that my benevolence has not been exploited, that there may be disadvantages, and that when the opportunity arises, I will be less severe?Husband puts everything in the world with three feet and harms benevolence, but if he is dedicated to Shangde and probation, he is afraid that he will not be benevolent and will become appeasement.All the storage of pollution and diseases will harm the Ming, but if you are dedicated to committing treachery and ambush, you may not be clear and hurt the tyranny.All kindness and gentleness will harm martial arts because of resignation, but if you specialize in Wick love, you may be sick of violence if you are not martial arts.

It is the way to use the imperial edict, enter the toast, and extend it to the court in detail.Can all beings flourish without thinking hard?It is for me to explain the purpose of Dianmo, to promote the constitution of the emperor, and to review the affairs of the world.My family is hereby inquiring about it, and I will make a decision and adopt it!
