Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 87 Ask the officials to determine the topic of this year's palace examination...

Gao Zhang strode forward in the direction of the palace gate, not far away.

Then I saw Cai Laoliu rushing towards this side, as if there was a vicious dog chasing after him.

"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly?"

Seeing Gao Zhang looking at himself curiously, Cai Laoliu, who was not willing to expose to Gao Zhang that he was almost beaten by his own father, hurriedly talked nonsense.

"I've met Senior Brother Gao, I'm fine, just now I accidentally ran into a vicious dog and was frightened."

"Sneeze!" A sneeze came from a carriage in the distance.

But it was quickly overshadowed by the noise at the palace gate.Gao Zhang and Cai Laoliu strode forward, and soon merged into the nearly [-] palace examination tributes.

As the first provincial governor in the provincial examination, Gao Zhang was placed at the forefront of the team.

When the time came, the gate of the palace opened slowly, as a model of Gongsheng, Gao Zhang was the youngest and shortest.

In the eyes of countless pairs of eyes, head held high, strode straight into...

A group of tributes behind him looked at this Jinke Shengyuan, and their fighting spirit was burning at the moment.

Not for anything else, but to hope to be able to compete with this yellow-mouthed kid in the palace test.

Let this kid understand that it is your limit to be able to save money with two very talented policy questions.

And the palace test in front of him is the real bloody battlefield.

This palace test is based on poetry and prose. As for you, you have only been enlightened for three years. I am afraid that you haven't even read all the four books and five classics. How can you have the time to engage in literary creation?

Unlike the old gentlemen present who have been studying for many years, they don't know how many famous poems and prose they have read.

Not to mention that the Goulan Pavilion has been strolling back and forth for countless times, which is the source of inspiration for poets and poets.

In particular, many tribute scholars who have already gained a reputation in poetry are even more confident today.

At that time, Yuan Xiangong tried his best to fight his way out in the Jinshi Science and Technology Province, and then he blew his heart and blood in the palace examination, but he could only get one Jinshi and rank.

It has already caused an uproar in the world, not to mention that Yuan Xiangong, the heir to the family of poems and books, is three years older than this kid.

In short, everyone is very confident, and they really want to see Gao Zhang, the provincial leader of the current science and technology. If he can't even enter the top three today, then he has a good reputation as a prodigy in the Song Dynasty, hehe...

Sensing the malicious eyes of those Gongsheng students around him, Gao Zhang didn't take it seriously.

After all, such a thing as standing out from the crowd, envious and jealous must be the chicken.

As for the cranes, what they care about is the cloud nine they are about to soar to.

Are you still willing to lower your head, look at a group of obese poultry and call them brothers?
At the moment when the tributes were filing in, here, the emperor of the Song Dynasty had already taken his seat in the Jiying Hall.

At this moment, holding the imperial pen in his hand, he looked at the piece of red rice paper in front of him, thoughtfully.

At this moment, Zhao Ji felt a little regretful in his heart, if he had gone to see Gao Zhang at that time.

Give him some hints in advance, with his talent and extraordinary talent, maybe he can really create another miracle.

It's a pity, at that time, my brain was hot, and I always thought that this kid could win the Provincial Yuan, and in my dream, I saw him win the top prize in one fell swoop, and was named the No. [-] Scholar.

So much so that after getting his blood on his head, he didn't even consider that he was still a child.

It's a pity that there is no if and no regret medicine.

The most important thing now is to conceive a topic that makes all Gongshi feel that it at least looks reasonable.

But it can also allow Gao Zhang, a beloved apprentice, to take advantage of a little bit, this is already the limit of what I can do.

Wu Zhizhong on the side was really impatient to wait. At this time, an eunuch hurried into the palace to report.

The auspicious time has come, and all the tributes have already started to enter the palace and are heading towards the Jiying Hall.

Unable to restrain himself, Wu Zhizhong stood up and reminded Zhao Ji, who was pensive, loudly.

"I also ask the officials to quickly determine the questions for this year's palace examination, and the ministers can read them out after the tributes arrive at the examination room."

"Wu Aiqing don't need to worry, I already have it." While speaking, Zhao Ji's mind flashed and the pen fell on the paper.

While writing like flying, he said loudly.

"The imperial examinations in my dynasty are prosperous, and this year's imperial examinations, there are even more talented young people. Although young, they can still have the ambition to help the people. I am very relieved, so today's imperial examination, I will use young people..."

Hearing what the officials said, the faces of all the ministers and workers present turned black.

"Officials, I feel that it is a little inappropriate, after all, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the names of poems and fus have been named.

There are many sources, and today's method of writing questions seems to be..."

"I feel that this topic is very novel for officials, after all, it has been since Emperor Taizu.

Although most of the poems and proses in the palace examination come from classics, there are also some proses written by the late emperors themselves. "

Zhao Ji put away his pen, looked at Wu Zhizhong who was standing in front of the imperial case, and asked kindly to the chief examiner who was still in charge of the palace examination.

"Aiqing is the chief examiner of the imperial examination this year, what does Aiqing think?"

Wu Zhizhong, who had listened very seriously just now, had no choice but to pay respects to this stupid king who was always doing a lot of tricks, but today's palace test questions are very appetizing.

"I believe that this Fu title is very appropriate, and it is very consistent with the current situation of the subject."

Seeing that the chief examiner also stood up to support the official, those opponents who originally wanted to say a few more words could only retreat back to Lie Ban in a dull manner.

After all, since both the examiner and the officials agree, if they object again, they might annoy the officials and make them miss me, so why bother?
#####
Gao Zhang finally came to the square in front of the Jiying Hall with a group of tributes, and he saw the three hundred desk tables from a distance, covering the entire square.

It seems that this is the main battlefield of the palace examination, and that's right, not to mention the Jiying Hall, even the largest Daqing Hall in the palace, there is simply no room for [-] palace examination tributes to splash ink inside.

The officials led him to sit down in the front row, and when Gao Zhang raised his head, he could see the steps of the Jiying Hall, which was only three steps away from him.

Fortunately, the weather today is cloudy, and it is still early, otherwise, if the sun is hot, it will last longer.

It may affect the performance of the tributes, and it may be that some tributes who have no power to restrain the chicken will be directly exhausted by heatstroke.

This is why it is not long after the provincial imperial examination in the spring that we have to hurry up to complete the imperial examination.

Anyway, Gao Zhang thought so, when he was sitting in front of the desk and thinking wildly.

Then he saw an acquaintance finally appear on the steps, it was Wu Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites who put himself on the provincial throne.

Wu Zhizhong glanced over the group of tributes, and at a glance he saw Gao Zhang who was sitting under the steps and sizing him up curiously.

After Wu Zhizhong raised his mouth slightly, he cleared his throat, spread out the red paper of the official imperial pen, and began to recite the topic of the imperial examination aloud...
