This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 5
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

The date of the imperial examination came quietly.

The Great Zhou Palace Examination was presided over by the emperor himself.

Anyone who passed the examination can participate in the palace examination.

And the palace examination does not eliminate candidates.

However, candidates will be ranked.

After the palace examination, there are three tops, and the top three are awarded Jinshi and the first place, that is, the number one scholar, the second place, and Tanhua.

Erjiaci was born as a Jinshi, and No. 1 is collectively referred to as Chuanlu.

Sanjiaci was born with Jinshi.

Although the palace examination is not eliminated, the ranking of the palace examination has an important impact on the candidate's future official career and promotion.

One and three people will be appointed immediately.

Generally speaking, the number one scholar is awarded to the Hanlin Academy for editing, and the second place and Tanhua are awarded to the Imperial Academy for editing.

Second, if the top three Jinshi want to be appointed as an official, they have to pass an assessment.

In other words, if there is no accident, the promotion of the official career will have an absolute advantage over other palace examination candidates.

The sky is gray and the dawn has not yet come.

Li Qing then gathered outside the Hall of Tai'an with a group of candidates for the palace examination.

"Brother Li, what is the future of scholars of my generation? The end of the imperial examination career is the palace examination. The palace examination is not about classics, nor the way of sages, but policy questions. As far as I know, this policy question His Majesty personally drafted the title."

Beside Li Qing, Kong Dexiang was full of anticipation.He lost to Li Qing in the general examination, but he was determined to win the imperial examination.

Policy questioning is not only Li Qing's strength, but also his weakness.

Relying on his experience and experience in two lifetimes, he can always put forward some novel and epoch-making strategies.

But policy theory is different from classics, and it cannot be read by just reading.

You need to comprehend it according to the national conditions, and you need to be taught by a famous teacher.

A group of students waited outside the hall for about half an hour. The chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came over and said loudly:
"Xuan Jinke Gongshi enters the palace!"

Li Qing took a deep breath and followed the crowd into the Hall of Tai'an.

The Tai'an Hall is one of the most important halls in the imperial palace, and it is usually used to hold grand ceremonies and pray for blessings.

Since the Tianfu Dynasty, the palace examination has also been held here.

As soon as you enter the Tai'an Temple, there is a kind of fragrance.This is a precious sandalwood, which has a refreshing effect.

Although it is not as precious as crane saliva tea, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The Tai'an Hall is spacious and grand, and hundreds of desks have already been placed in the center of the hall, on which are prepared the top-notch Four Treasures of the Study.

On the left and right sides, sat four court officials.

On the dragon chair above, an elderly man wearing a yellow robe sits in it.

This is the Great Zhou Emperor, the Tianfu Great Emperor who has reigned for decades.

"See Your Majesty!"

Many students bowed together to salute.

"Pingshen, take your seat!" Emperor Tianfu laughed heartily, appearing approachable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The examinees were numbered according to the ranking of the exam results, and under the guidance of the eunuch, they took their seats one by one and waited for the exam questions.

After everyone was seated, Emperor Tianfu got up from the dragon chair and said:
"You are all talented people after my big Sunday. I hope you will show off all your knowledge in today's palace exam. Prime Minister, I will give you a strategy question."

Among the four important ministers, one with a long beard stood up.

"The vassal kings from all over the world support their troops and respect themselves. Since ancient times, the vassal kings have suffered endlessly, and the same is true of my Great Zhou.

During the time of the first emperor, the Seven Kings Rebellion occurred in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which caused great chaos in the world and the people were in dire straits.

Today's palace examination strategy question is how to cut off the disaster of the vassal king.You students can express your feelings directly, and hand in the paper at dusk! "

In normal dynasties, the policy of reducing the vassal will never appear in the imperial examination.

But the Great Zhou Empire was different.

When the first emperor was in power, he had just quelled the rebellion of the Seven Kings.

Now that Emperor Tianfu is on the throne, the power of the vassal princes in various places has not yet developed enough to launch a rebellion.

But it is also necessary to learn from the lessons of the previous emperor's period to curb the vassal kings from rebelling, so there is a strategy for cutting the vassals in this palace examination.

After announcing the policy questions, Prime Minister Sima Yan sat back.

The palace examination has also officially started.

The Tai'an Hall was silent, and all the students began to think about how to countermeasure.

Li Qing spread out the white paper with a calm expression, but his heart couldn't stop churning.

If the aristocratic family is the cancer and silverfish of a dynasty.

That vassal king is a bomb that may detonate at any time.

The palace test policy question turned out to be the topic of cutting off the disaster of the vassal king.

It seems that Emperor Tianfu wants to attack the feudal king.

Or the aristocratic family wants to take action against the feudal king.

The imperial court is planning to cut down the feudal clan!
The three words "Tweeting Order" directly appeared in Li Qing's mind.

In the previous life, Huaxia's No. [-] Yang conspiracy to push grace was the best way to cut down the vassal.

Li Qing was grinding carefully while thinking about how to write the Tweeting Token according to the background of this era.

After he had a complete plan in his mind, he took a deep breath and started writing.

"In ancient times, feudal lords were no more than a hundred miles away, and strong and weak were easy to control. Today's feudal lords may span dozens of cities and cover thousands of miles. If they are slow, they will be arrogant and extravagant and easy to become promiscuous. If they are urgent, they will prevent the strong and join forces to rebel against the capital.

Now, if we use the law to cut it down, then rebellion will sprout, just like the chaos of the former emperors and seven kings.

Today, there are perhaps a dozen children of the princes, and they are suitable for successors. Although the rest are flesh and blood, they have no size and land feudalism, so the way of benevolence and filial piety will not be proclaimed.

Your Majesty can order the princes to favor the younger brothers and treat them with land.

Everyone is happy to get what they want, and the superior will give virtue to divide the country, and it will not be weakened but slightly weakened. "

There is no limit to the length of the palace examination essay.

But with particular emphasis on writing, you must use the regular style.From a certain point of view, calligraphy is often more important than articles.

For the imperial examination, Li Qingqin practiced calligraphy, and his first hand was square, bright and black.

It looked pleasing to the eye.

More than a hundred words were eloquently written, and it was finished in an instant.

After carefully checking that there were no mistakes, Li Qing dried the ink, put away the four treasures of the study, and sat quietly waiting for the paper to be handed in.

And as the leader of the examination, he came from a poor family, so he naturally attracted the attention of Emperor Tianfu and the other four ministers who graded the papers.

Everyone was surprised that he wrote the book as soon as he got the topic, and he finished it in just a cup of tea, and they were even more curious.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Tianfu, who wanted to leave and come back when the sun sets, couldn't help the curiosity in his heart.

Asked: "Li Qing, you stop writing and collecting ink, but you have completed the problem?"

The students who were scratching their heads all looked up when they heard the words.

They don't have any idea in their minds, Li Qing has already completed the plan, how is this possible?

Li Qing got up and said: "Your Majesty, the students have finished answering the questions."

"Okay! As expected, he is the first Huiyuan from a poor family since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Submit it to me for a look."

Emperor Tianfu applauded, and the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was waiting beside him, hurried over to get Li Qing's advice.

"Tweet order."

The title of policy question that came into view did not impress Emperor Tianfu.

But when he scanned the more than one hundred words at a glance, his face suddenly became serious.

In just a few hundred words, Emperor Tianfu Rushi Ganyi read it back and forth more than ten times.

"Okay! What a tweet!"

Emperor Tianfu held the scroll as if he had found a treasure, and burst out laughing, regardless of the emperor's manners.

He looked at Li Qing with admiration, "With this decree of grace, there will never be any chaos among feudal lords in the Great Zhou Dynasty! Evergreen talents are rare in ancient times, rare in ancient times!"

There are only two reasons why the emperor is not stingy with boasting.

First, it is hard to express the joy in being hit in the middle of the heart.

Second, there is his purpose of boasting in it.

The students in the hall were terrified when they heard Emperor Tianfu's praise.

It was only time for a cup of tea, and before he and others started writing, Li Qing wrote a policy theory that was so highly appraised by Emperor Tianfu.

How can this be?

What exactly did he write?
The four reviewing ministers were also full of curiosity.

Prime Minister Sima Yan got up straight away and said, "Your Majesty, can I let you wait and see?"

"Come on, all of you have a look."

The four aged veterans all surrounded Emperor Tianfu, carefully reading Li Qing's strategy.

Soon, their faces changed drastically.

Prime Minister Sima Yan congratulated loudly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, with this order of kindness, the troubles of the vassal king will be relieved in an instant!"

Yang Ying, the Grand Master of the Palace Pavilion, nodded repeatedly, "In just a few hundred words, it will completely solve the troubles of the feudal lords. The Tweeting Order can be called the number one conspiracy in the ages! Once this plan comes out, no matter how the vassal kings of various places respond, There is no way."

Emperor Tianfu took Li Qing's theory into his arms as if it was a treasure, and said: "Since Changqing has finished answering the theory, follow me to Qianyuan Palace for questioning."

Led by Emperor Tianfu, Li Qing and the other four reviewing ministers hurriedly left Tai'an Hall and headed for Qianyuan Hall.

A group of students were left sitting on the ground and looking at each other.

They haven't written a pen yet, and they don't even have any thoughts in their hearts.

As a result, Li Qing had already finished answering the policy questions, and was even highly recognized by Emperor Tianfu and the four ministers who graded the papers.
