"What about the writing style?" Liu Xiuwen asked dissatisfied.

Zhou Yu glanced at him and said disdainfully, "You compare writing with a great scholar?"

"Oh……"

Liu Xiuwen made a big blush, and everyone burst into laughter again.He knew in his heart that if the thinking of the nine of them really conformed to Shangyi, the champion could only be Luo Xin's.

but……

They forgot that the number one scholar selected by the emperor was within the twelve examination papers, which were selected by the examiners and presented to him.

At this time, Lu Bing and Xu Jie were walking through the corridor with the twelve selected examination papers, heading straight for Shengshou Palace.

The Shengshou Palace was brightly lit, and Emperor Jiajing was sitting behind the imperial book table, squinting his eyes slightly, waiting for the examination papers to be delivered.

When Lu Bing and Xu Jie came to the gate of Shengshou Palace, Huang Jin had already been waiting there.The two saluted Huang Jin and said:
"Your father-in-law will inform you!"

Huang Jin smiled and said: "Your Majesty has already ordered you to come here. You don't need to report when the two adults come. Come in with our house."

"Eunuch, please!"

Huang Jin turned around and walked into the Shengshou Palace first, followed by Lu Bing and Xu Jie, and bowed down to Emperor Jiajing:

"Minister Xu Jie!"

"Minister Lu Bing!"

"Congratulations to Saint Ann!"

"Get up!" Emperor Jiajing's voice came from above: "You have worked hard these past few days, please give me your seat."

Immediately, the young eunuch moved two brocade stools, Xu Jie and Lu Bing just sat down after thanking them for their kindness.

Emperor Jiajing looked at the stack of test papers in Xu Jie's hand, and Xu Jie hurriedly stood up again and said:
"Qizou Your Majesty, the examination papers have been screened."

Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, and Huang Jin came out from the shadows, took the stack of test papers from Xu Jie's hand, and put them on the imperial book case.Emperor Jiajing's rare expression became solemn, and he began to look at the examination papers one by one, but the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became. Not to mention that there was no Luo Xin's name in the twelve papers, even the answers were all the same. Firmly agree with the theory of opening the sea.This made Emperor Jiajing stretch his face involuntarily, looked at Xu Jie with gloomy eyes and said:

"This is the article you selected?"

Xu Jie said with a dull expression, "Your Majesty, these twelve examination papers are the best examination papers for this palace examination."

"Are you sure there are no omissions?" Emperor Jiajing's voice was a little cold.

Xu Jie's expression was still blank. In fact, it was not all Xu Jie's selfish intentions to depose Luo Xin and other Jinyang Jiujie's articles this time.He also saw the difficulties of Da Ming. If this momentum continues, it will only be a matter of time before Da Ming will perish.To solve the problem of insufficient land in Ming Dynasty, the only way is to open the sea.So he not only dismissed Luo Xin's unconventional papers, but also dismissed all the papers against Kai Hai.So when Emperor Jiajing asked him again, he hurriedly stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Ming Dynasty is in great financial difficulties. The only way to solve the financial problem is to open the sea. So I selected the papers according to this idea. There are generally three ideas for the examinee's essay. How to prevent Japanese pirates from happening in the coastal areas after the Japanese was not involved at all. This kind of person thinks that his vision is too shallow. The second is that he does not support the opening of the sea. Such people stick to the rules and are not suitable for the development of Daming today. The twelve selected examination papers are all the best in favor of Kaihai’s articles.”

Emperor Jiajing stared coldly at Xu Jie who was standing opposite him and talking with eloquence. Xu Jie's words were really impeccable, and he had no personal grievances at all, but only proceeded from the interests of the court.Didn't your Emperor Jiajing propose to open the sea?That's why I chose articles supporting Kaihai to support His Majesty, which made Emperor Jiajing feel very tight in his chest for a while, but he didn't know how to speak.

Two days passed quickly.

Accompanied by the ringing of the solemn Jingyang bell, the three main gates of the five gates of the imperial palace, and the two tuck gates that opened from east to west slowly opened at the same time, and two teams of big men wearing golden flying fish suits and holding a painted halberd came out from the gates. The general, with his chest up and his head raised, walked out of the four door openings facing each other with uniform steps, and stood beside the five avenues inside the door.

At the same time, outside the palace gate, all civil and military officials had arrived, and Luo Xin and other new scholars also lined up.Every candidate was very excited. After today, they were one of the officials standing in front of them.

Looking at the majestic palace, the mighty generals, and the noble officials, some candidates' eyes are already moist when they think of their past years of studying hard.

At this time, Luo Xin's eyes fell on the three extremely tall door openings in the front, especially the middle door opening was even taller. Only the emperor could walk through this doorway. Anyone who dared to walk through this doorway would be beheaded immediately.

However, three of the candidates Luo Xin and the others had a chance to walk.

There are two privileges in Daming, one is when the queen gets married, you can walk from here once.The other is the number one scholar in the palace examination, the second place and Tanhua can go once.

At this time, not only Luo Xin looked at the tall gate in the middle, but all the candidates looked there.Being able to pass there is the greatest honor in a scholar's life, not only honoring his ancestors, but also leaving his name in history.Even those who believed in their hearts that they would not be the No. [-] pick, No. [-] and No. [-], their gazes at the doorway were full of envy and reluctance.

"Will I be one of the ones who walked through there?"

Even Luo Xin was agitated at this moment. He stood in the center of the team, and as a member of the examination committee, he had this treatment. Wat Ban, everyone stood there solemnly, and the solemnity of the officials spread in everyone's heart.

At this moment, Luo Xin's heart was calm, he really didn't take the number one scholar seriously, as long as he became a Jinshi, he would be satisfied.Finally, the development of official career in the future depends on the individual's ability, not the number one scholar will definitely be able to become the capital of the cabinet.Zhang Juzheng is the sixth in history, isn't he also the capital of the cabinet?
In the past two days, a lot of news has come out. After all, some of these candidates have very good backgrounds. The news that came out is that the twelve papers finally selected by Xu Jie are all in favor of Kaihai, which shows that there are no candidates who agree with Kaihai. Don't even think about being selected as the No. [-] pick, No. [-] and Tan Hua.

These two days, Jinyang Jiujie's mood was very dull. They expected the question from Emperor Jiajing, but they didn't expect it, but they didn't figure out the correct thoughts of Emperor Jiajing. But Luo Xin couldn't be blamed for this matter. After careful consideration, he agreed with Luo Xin's opinion.
