Houmen's concubine

Chapter 401 The Palace Exam Begins

Don't look at Qi State's friendly exchanges with the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past few years, in fact, many spies were secretly sent to lurk in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the name of doing business to steal useful information.

However, the Great Zhou Dynasty was not a vegetarian, and it was polite and reciprocal, and many spies were placed in Qi.

Therefore, Xie Yuheng's first reason was to avoid suspicion, and secondly, he had a case to be tried, so he couldn't get away.

"Swipe!" Wang Tong'er shook her head, the holding scroll had already been opened.

She looked up and saw three large characters written on it - the prosperity of the country.

Wang Tong'er paused, she had already experienced the emperor's questions, they were all extremely simple, but when she thought about it carefully, it was extremely difficult, because simple was only a few words, so it didn't even have a scope, and the questions were extremely broad, making it difficult to answer .

The people around her naturally thought the same way.

Afterwards, Wu Zhi personally brought up a pure gold octagonal censer, with a thin stick of incense stuck in it.

"In the 98th year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the palace examination begins!" Following Wu Zhi's order, the people around went to the table that had already been arranged, and began to write hard.

Wang Tong'er was only in a daze, so she was half a beat too late, and was the last one to sit down.

Fortunately, I am a modern person, and fortunately the emperor is an acquaintance, otherwise I would be so excited that my heart beat like a drum!

calm down······
Wang Tong'er took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tried to calm herself down.After a moment, he opened his eyes and picked up a pen to write.

With one stroke of the pen, there is no pause, and it is done in one go!The time for a stick of incense passed in a flash, and a clever little eunuch came forward, collected all their answer sheets, and passed them on to Wu Zhi, who then handed them to the emperor.

Wang Tong'er put away the pen, stood up, and watched Yishui'er's court ladies and eunuchs remove all the desk cases.

As soon as Wang Tong'er raised her eyes, she met her elder brother Wang Jiahui's eyes. The two of them looked at each other with a relatively calm face.

But in fact, it's just on the surface. Wang Jiahui's hands were tightly squeezed together in a place that Wang Tonger couldn't see. The palms were covered with sweat. The Fengtian Hall was extremely empty. When the spring wind blew, I felt my whole back was tingling. cold.

The palace exam is not an ordinary exam, what the future holds depends entirely on today.

"Bang!" There was a sound next to him, and Wang Tong'er couldn't help turning around to look, only to see a man in his thirties, wearing a dark gray shirt and a short beard, lying on the ground. Pale, even trembling and fainted to the ground.

Wang Tong'er paused for a moment, and couldn't help frowning, feeling sorry for him.

"Hurry up, pass on the imperial physician! Take him down!" Wu Zhi's reaction was the fastest, and immediately called several tall guards in, and carried the man with the short beard away.

"Tsk, pitiful." Wang Tong'er faintly heard someone talking next to her.

In the eyes of these people, this person is indeed very pitiful. After studying hard for more than ten years, he finally got what he is today, but he passed out in front of the emperor. Isn't it just a missed opportunity for nothing!
However, this is the cruelty of the imperial examination.

"Qin Yu." At this moment, Emperor Mingzheng, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, suddenly opened his golden mouth.

"The student is here." Wang Tong'er cheered up immediately, and took a step forward to agree.

Emperor Mingzheng handed over the answer sheet to Wu Zhi, who then passed it on to the officials standing below for circulation.

He had basically looked over the answer sheets of the sixteen people, and now he called someone because he had a question to ask.

This is the biggest difference between the Palace Examination and the previous ones. Only if the answer sheet is written well and the answer is good can one be able to excel.

Of course, there are a total of sixteen people here, and not everyone the emperor would ask.

After Wang Tonger, he was called Cui Yan again.

Then, another person was called, and Wang Tong'er saw a trembling mustache take a step forward.

"Student, the student is here." The man took a step forward, but after listening to the question asked by the emperor, he couldn't speak a single word. ··
Wang Tong'er looked at her with lowered eyes and remained silent.

Today's assessment is the prosperity of the country. One of the conditions that a minister needs to meet is to be able to speak in front of the emperor, not to mention speaking freely, but not even being able to speak a complete sentence.

No matter how outstanding this person is, it is in vain.

Going to court is not just for them to listen to. In many cases, it is the officials who talk and the emperor listens.

That's why the palace exam has the habit of asking and answering questions from the emperor.

however……

Mingzheng then asked three more people.

Among them is the elder brother Wang Jiahui.

"The emperor has finished asking, do you have any questions?" Over there, Wu Zhi received the meaning of Emperor Mingzheng.

Several ministers got the approval of the emperor, and they were very familiar with Qin Yu.

Regardless of his young age, not only did he offer prescriptions to cure the plague years ago, but he even went to northern Mongolia, the epidemic area, which shows that this person's courage is extraordinary.

In addition, the Xu Xian played, tsk tsk, is really flexible...

The most important thing is that you can rely on your face to make a living, but you can rely on your talent!
Poke your heart!
First of all, he asked Wang Tong'er: "I have a question, I want to ask Qin Yu."

"The same is true for the minister."

"I want to ask Qin Yu!"

Wang Tonger was speechless...

Although some people asked tricky questions, it was better than asking nothing and being ignored.

Wang Tong'er was a soldier who came to cover up the water and earth, so she answered impeccably, and her attitude was even more generous.

Among the group of people they were standing, they were extremely conspicuous.

Wang Tong'er watched, and many ministers couldn't help but nodded after asking her questions, which was their recognition of her.

But for the imperial examination, they don't count at all, it has to be approved by the emperor, and then it is considered a success
"Students, please wait outside the palace." All the questions that should be asked have been asked, and today's palace examination is over.

Wu Zhi came down from the hall, led Su Li and others, and walked outside the hall.

This is to leave time and space for the emperor and the ministers to discuss and come up with a result.

The rank of the palace examination can be known on the same day.

Wu Zhi couldn't help but glanced at Wang Tong'er, knowing in his heart that the emperor attached great importance to Qin Yu.

Standing beside the emperor, Wu Zhi could see clearly. The emperor's admiring eyes fell on Wang Tong'er all the time.

This is not attention, what is it?
It's just that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. How about Qin Yu's ranking this time?He couldn't make up his mind either.

He just had a vague feeling that the emperor couldn't wait to make Qin Yuchao an official.

Otherwise, back then in Qinzhou, she would not have written the questions and invigilated her county exam.

It sounds inexplicable to say this, but Wu Zhi just has this weird feeling.That is the number one scholar is Qin Yu!

　It is estimated that there are still ten chapters to be finished.
