Monument Yangmen

Chapter 119 Palace Examination ([-])

Kou Zhun straightened his back and bowed to salute, "Your Majesty, the student is just about to enter the official career, how can it be possible to lie about his age and do something to ruin his official career?"

Zhao Guangyi thought for a while, and felt that what Kou Zhun said was polite.

Besides, the imperial court's scientific examination is very strict on the household registration, so there should be no mistakes.

Zhao Guangyi was thinking about how to deal with this matter when he heard Minister of the Ministry of Officials say: "Your Majesty, Kou Zhun from Huazhou is only 19 years old even if he didn't lie about his age. It's better to pass one class and admit him to the next subject..."

"Hmph!" Shen Lun snorted coldly when he heard the words of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, "The Grand Ceremony of the Court's Ethics depends on the words, not the age."

Zhao Pu said quietly, "Gan Luo paid homage to the prime minister at the age of 12, Cai Wenji could distinguish strings at the age of six, and Cao Chong wrote poetry at the age of five..."

Zhao Pu counted more than a dozen examples of juvenile prodigy in one breath, without saying anything else.

Xue Juzheng, who was asleep with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, "Wisdom is a gift from God, it's not unusual to be a Jinshi at the age of 19."

The three prime ministers all spoke, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials gritted his teeth unwillingly.

In fact, he didn't intend to embarrass Kou Zhun.

Entrusted by Pan Renmei, his goal was Yang Yansi from beginning to end.

As long as he can overwhelm Kou Zhun in one subject with the question of age, then he will naturally be able to overwhelm Yang Yansi in one subject with the same question later.

It's a pity that what he is doing is old Jianghu. When he raised this question, people have already seen through his intentions.

Obviously, the three prime ministers all meant to protect Yang Yansi inside and out.

"I still feel that Kou Zhun is too young to pass a subject..." The Minister of the Ministry of Officials struggled.

Shen Lun: "I disagree..."

Zhao Pu: "I disagree..."

Xue Juzheng: "I disagree..."

The prime minister and the two prime ministers clearly disagreed. Zhao Guangyi wanted to suppress him, but he had to take into account the faces and thoughts of the three prime ministers.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Kou Zhun's essays are sophisticated, you don't have to take a subject, you can take this one."

Shen Lun, Zhao Pu, and Xue Juzheng bowed slightly to Zhao Guangyi.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Kou Zhun walked around the edge of the cliff, a layer of fine hair appeared on his forehead.

Kou Zhun didn't know that he was just being linked.

Yang Yansi knew it very well, fortunately, the three old men were helping him, allowing him to escape unharmed.

Yang Yansi finished copying the papers and applied for handing in the papers.

Wang Jien walked up to Yang Yansi, although they were familiar with each other, he didn't show any intention of being close, took Yang Yansi's paper, and sent it to the dragon case without saying a word.

Zhao Guangyi took Yang Yansi's paper and reviewed it carefully.

Then, without saying a word, he circulated it to Shen Lun and the others expressionlessly.

After returning to the dragon case again, there were eight circles and a cross on Yang Yansi's paper. If there is no accident, the chacha should be drawn by the Minister of the Ministry of officials.

It's a pity that this one fork matches eight circles, which is just a drop in the bucket.

It is irreversible to win Yang Yansi.

Even if Zhao Guangyi wanted to suppress Yang Yansi, he could only think about it.

If he insisted on dismissing Yang Yansi, there would probably be eight important ministers hugging the pillars to persuade him to speak up.

This has nothing to do with the question of how much face Yang Yansi has to make the important officials pay for him, but the question of the status of the civil servants in the court.

This court is not Zhao Guangyi's one-word court.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhao Guangyi is not willing to be a villain. Last time, he had an unpleasant fight with the Yang family because of the Liyu Pavilion.Selling a favor to Yang Ye this time is not bad as compensation.

At this point, Zhao Guangyi also drew a circle on Yang Yansi's paper.

The students handed in the papers one after another. When the time came, the students who did not hand in the papers had no chance to write.

The papers were forcibly collected by the eunuchs in the palace.

Some people were taken away because they only copied half of the papers, and they cried loudly while being sad.

When the guards outside the gate enter the gate, they will drive them away, and then throw them into an empty side hall to make them sad alone.

The reviewing process took a long time. The students stood in the hall and waited until noon before Zhao Guangyi, Shen Lun and his party finished reviewing the papers.

310 Seven people participated in the palace examination, and only 11 people handed in the papers.There were [-] people who failed to hand in the papers on time and were driven out.

Three hundred and six papers were placed in front of Zhao Guangyi.

Rank according to the number of circles drawn above.

A larger number will naturally move forward, and a smaller number will naturally move to the rear.

There is only one person in the ten circles.

Jun Yi Su Yi Jian!

Nine circles, three people.

Huazhou Kou Zhun!Kaifeng Yang Yansi!Mingzhou Li Hang!
……

Three first-class scholars will be selected, and Jinshi will be awarded.

Three of the 110 second-class scholars were awarded Jinshi background.

There were 190 third-class scholars, all of whom were born with Jinshi.

……

On the dragon case, Zhao Guangyi held the papers of Kou Zhun and Yang Yansi, thought for a while, and put them in the third and fourth positions on the jade plate.

"Take it down! Draft and publish the list!"

Wang Jien stepped forward, glanced at the position of Yang Yansi's paper, and was slightly taken aback.

Then he picked up the plate with the test papers and prepared to leave.

"return!"

When Wang Jien returned, Zhao Guangyi spread his hands and took out Kou Zhun's paper, then Yang Yansi's paper, after a final thought, he took out Li Hang's paper.

Zhao Guangyi thought about it, and quickly switched the positions of the three papers.

Seeing that Zhao Guangyi had finished changing, Wang Jien wanted to leave, but Zhao Guangyi stopped him again.

I saw Zhao Guangyi picked up Yang Yansi's paper again, thought about it, and changed his position again.

After changing, he saw Wang Ji'en standing beside him and did not leave.

"Why don't you draft and publish the list?"

Wang Jien bowed slightly, "Your Majesty won't change anymore?"

Zhao Guangyi pondered for a while, and finally shook his head.

"Don't change it, go to draft and publish the list!"

"promise!"

Wang Jien took the paper, walked to Zhongshusheren, and handed the plate to Zhongshusheren.

Zhongshusheren began to draft the imperial list in the order Zhao Guangyi arranged.

Sitting on the dragon seat, Zhao Guangyi said, "My lords, from now on, you will be my subjects. I believe that you are the pillars of the country. Remember to be self-restraining and on duty. Don't disappoint my expectations of you."

A group of newly promoted Jinshi saluted Zhao Guangyi with their heads held high and their chests high.

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

Zhao Guangyi waved his hand, "The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day... Go! Go and enjoy your glory. I will host a banquet at Jinming Lake tonight to entertain you all."

Why did Zhao Guangyi say that?

Because what follows is the most glorious moment of each imperial examination.

Donghuamen roll call!
Yujie praises the official!

After expressing gratitude, the Xinke Scholars, under the leadership of Wang Jien, raised their heads and chests, and walked towards Donghuamen with a happy face.

……

　At this moment, do you all feel very angry... Cursing in your heart: You have so much water, just don't talk about Yang Yansi's number!Do you want to die?No way, the scarecrow would rather be called a broken dog than a single dog or a poor dog!
