The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 517 Scoring ([-])

However, don't think that everything will be fine after passing the palace test.As long as Gu Chengyu enters the court, he will know the cruelty of the court battle.For things like Wan Xuenian, he could only blame himself for being careless, Yu Zheng snorted coldly in his heart, and looked elsewhere.

By the time the sun set, Gu Chengyu had finished writing the examination papers, and the emperor had already left the Hall of Preservation and Harmony.

The emperor passed behind Gu Chengyu for a long time, and all the candidates behind him knew about it.For Gu Chengyu receiving so much attention, they all secretly sighed with envy.After Xia Qingxun talked to him last time, Min Feng calmed down a lot.

Although he knew that the emperor was satisfied with Gu Chengyu's answer sheet, he was not discouraged and just concentrated on writing the answer sheet in his hand.

Gu Chengyu reckoned that it would be Youshi in less than half an hour.At this moment, Gongsheng has not yet handed in the paper.Gu Chengyu carefully read the examination paper from top to bottom, and found that there were no typos or omissions, so he planned to hand in the paper in advance.

In fact, whether to check or not is the same.If you find a typo, you can't change it. Doing this is just to know what you know.

As soon as Gu Chengyu got up, officials from the Ministry of Rites came up to seal Gu Chengyu's examination paper.He folded the first page of the examination paper into a tube, sealed it and sealed it.Then stamp the seal of the Ministry of Rites on the rest of the rolled surface, rolled back, and riding seams.

Gu Chengyu watched the examination papers being taken away. At this point, he finally ended the imperial examination and his life in the imperial examination.Regarding the results of the exam, Gu Chengyu was not too worried, after all, he was a member of the Huiyuan, not to mention the number one, the top ranking should be certain.

Gu Chengyu followed the officials from the Ministry of Rites to the outside of the palace, and then another servant led Gu Chengyu to the palace gate.Now that the palace examination has been completed and no stay in the palace is allowed, Gu Chengyu can only wait for Ye Zhiqiu at the gate of the palace.

The marking day is tomorrow, and after the results of the palace examination are filled in the list, the emperor will hold a ceremony in the Hall of Supreme Harmony on the second day after the palace examination to announce the results of the palace examination.

Ming Mo sat on the shaft of the carriage, looked at the gate of the palace, and waited anxiously.His son went to the palace in the morning, but he hasn't come out until now, and he doesn't know how he did in the exam.Although I have confidence in the young master, but this is a palace test, so I can't help being nervous.

So far, there is not a single Gongsheng who has left the palace, and the sun is almost setting.Ming Mo glanced at the sky, the setting sun had already set in the west, and the surrounding sunset glow dyed the western sky crimson.

Just when Ming Mo was worried, Gu Chengyu walked slowly from the gate of the palace, and Ming Mo hurriedly jumped off the shaft of the car to meet him.

"Young master!" Ming Mo quickly stepped forward, bowed to the young master, and was about to ask about the exam situation, Gu Chengyu waved to him, signaling him to get into the carriage first.

Ye Zhiqiu and Gu Chengyu rode in the same carriage. Ye Zhiqiu hadn't finished the exam yet, and Gu Chengyu planned to wait for him in the carriage.After climbing into the carriage, Gu Chengyu's mind finally settled down.

Although he comforted Ye Zhiqiu when he first entered the palace gate in the morning, how could he not be nervous?It's just that it didn't show up!I hope that Ye Zhiqiu can perform at his usual level. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for the first class, but there are still some opportunities ahead of the second class.

Another half an hour later, when the sunset glow in the sky turned pink, Gongsheng came out from the gate of the palace one after another.Ming Mo noticed with sharp eyes that Ye Zhiqiu was among them.

"Young Master Ye! Here." At this moment, there were many carriages coming to pick up Gongsheng at the gate of the palace. Ye Zhiqiu went out of the palace gate and looked outside.Before he could search for Gu's carriage, he heard Ming Mo's shout, and then he walked quickly towards the carriage.

When Ye Zhiqiu climbed into the carriage and saw Gu Chengyu sitting in the carriage, he quickly asked about the palace examination.

"Chengyu, this policy question is quite difficult. Although I struggled to answer it, I finally answered it. I just don't know if I can get a good ranking. Your policy question has always been praised by the doctors of the Imperial College. This time the topic is not difficult for you, right?"

Gu Chengyu smiled, "It's not a problem to answer all the questions, but it's not clear if it meets the wishes of the examiners and the emperor. The exam is over, so don't think so much. You study at home all day .I won’t even ask you to go out for an outing. Should I be able to take care of myself tomorrow?”

Ye Zhiqiu was still a little worried, because he was afraid that he would not get good grades in the imperial examination.

"The results haven't come out yet, how can I have the heart to go sightseeing? I think I have to wait until the results of the palace examination the day after tomorrow before I can rest assured. I was worried that I would be admitted as a Jinshi, and I would really want to cry without tears." .”

Gu Chengyu sighed, in fact, who would not care about the result?He also just wanted to ask Ye Zhiqiu to go outside to relax and relax.During this period of time, Ye Zhiqiu was really tense. He got up at [-]:[-] every day and had to read at night with a lamp, even his body couldn't bear it.

Ye Zhiqiu's complexion was very pale, his lower eyelids were black and blue, and his body bones were much thinner than before. Gu Chengyu was really worried that he would faint anytime, anywhere.

"It is important to know that you have to relax when you study. Your body is already weak. If I hadn't dragged you around often, you would have been carried out during the test. There is still a bright future waiting for you! You have to cherish yourself It's the body of a child."

Gu Chengyu persuaded him again, making up his mind that when the opportunity arises, he must drag Ye Zhiqiu to go to morning exercises with him.

Speaking of Ye Zhiqiu's poor health, Gu Chengyu thought of Wang Qikai and others who were far away in Jingyuan Mansion. They failed to pass the exam three years ago, and they don't know if they will pass the exam this year.

Last time Wang Qikai wrote in a letter saying that his toxicity has long been eliminated, but his body cannot lose weight.Gu Chengyu also found it a little funny, Wang Qikai's food intake has become a habit, and it should be difficult to reduce it.

The next day, the emperor ordered eight ministers in the cabinet to be the reviewers of the palace examination, each with a table, and read them in turn.At this time, there are about 400 people in the palace examination. With so many examination papers to read, it is natural to use the method of elimination first.

Those who have typos, sentences are not clear, and the papers are not neat are put aside first, and most of these candidates are fellow Jinshi.

As the head of the cabinet, the chief assistant Xia Qing is naturally the last person to check and determine the ranking.The other seven officials have already started grading the examination papers. In the palace examination, they only need to paste their names and do not need to change the book.

And the exam papers that I have read, if I think it is good, I will draw a circle on it, followed by triangles, dots, lines, and crosses, which are divided into five grades.If the test paper has the most circles, it is the well-deserved No.1.

It's just that personal views and visions are different, and of course there are disputes, which require Xia Qing to decide.Until the top ten are finally selected, they are sent to the emperor for review, and the emperor finally selects the top ten.
