After the three yuan and the third, the ministers angered the ceremony and the music collapsed

Chapter 34 Palace Examination ([-])

Everyone stood in front of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, clenching their fists nervously. What is the future? The key point of the imperial examination career is the palace examination.

If it is unsuccessful, the children of the aristocratic family will go home to inherit the family business at most, and those with titles can wait for the yin seal.

But there are also a few children from poor families. If they fail the palace examination, all their hard work of more than ten years will be ruined, and they will probably only be able to go home and become teachers.

A group of candidates waited outside the hall for about half an hour when a eunuch's shrill voice sounded.

"Your Majesty is here—"

Jiang Zhao looked at the eunuch wrongly, and saw that the pattern embroidered on his clothes was much more colorful and gorgeous than the pattern on the eunuch who led them the way just now. Looking for is also a palace supervisor.

It was the first time for Jiang Zhao to see an eunuch. The eunuch who led the way before kept walking with his head bowed, making it difficult for people to see clearly.

Now there was an eunuch standing in front of him, he couldn't help being curious, so he took a closer look, and found that the eunuch's waist was bent naturally, and the overlapping fingers in front of him were slightly curled up.

As far as the eunuch temperament emanating from the whole body is concerned, there is no need for a physical examination, and people can tell that this is an eunuch at a glance.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Zhao saw a few guards carrying an imperial chariot walking past Yu Dao Dan Majesty.

However, when Jiang Zhao was watching ancient TV in his previous life, the emperor walked on the Royal Dao Alchemy in person, so why did he become a royal chariot hanging above the Royal Dao Alchemy when he got here.

Jiang Zhao carefully looked at Yudao Danbi, and found that it was carved from a whole block of white marble, with auspicious patterns of phoenix, Yinglong, cloud dragon, white deer and other auspicious animals engraved on it, which is a symbol of royal status , to show the majesty of the royal family.

Jiang Zhao thought about it, and it was also true that the patterns on the Yudao Danbi are extremely complicated, and the surface of the stone is also very uneven, and this place is a steep slope, not a flat road, and this road is really difficult.

If the emperor was really allowed to walk by himself, he would probably trip over those protruding patterns every minute. How could such a thing be allowed to happen on such a grand occasion?
The guards carried the emperor to the front of the hall, and the emperor came down from the imperial chariot.

In front of the hall, Luan Yiwei set up a halogen book method to drive in front of the hall.

The emperor stood still and turned to look at the examinees and ministers. Everyone knelt down and shouted:

"His Majesty Saint Ann——!!!"

Jiang Zhao looked at everyone kneeling, it was too abrupt for her not to kneel alone, and this was in the Tianyu dynasty, not her previous life, if she didn't kneel, she would be beheaded, so she had to kneel with everyone.

At the same time, I complained about this damn feudal system in my heart. Didn't it mean that scholars can see officials without kneeling?
She has lived for so many years, and she has only kneeled down to her parents. She never thought that she would kneel down to a young man after time travel.

This young man might not be as old as she was in her previous life, but probably about the same age as Si Mubai.

What she didn't know was that under normal circumstances, it was not necessary to kneel when meeting the emperor, but on such an important occasion, one should still kneel.

Kneeling for a while, the emperor above waved his hand, and the eunuch beside him immediately understood, and said loudly: "Pingshen——"

Everyone is now at the same level.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor sat on the top and said something encouraging to everyone, then walked into the dragon chair in the Baohe Hall and sat down.

After the emperor sat down, the whip began to be blown outside the hall, and the drums and music rang together, which meant that the palace examination had begun.

The eunuch came in and announced to the examinees: "The time has come, and the Xuanjin Ke Gongshi will enter the palace!"

All the candidates entered the hall one after another.

In the hall, apart from the emperor sitting above, there were also four academicians specially selected for this palace examination, and several ministers who looked like extremely human ministers.

The role of several ministers is to review the papers with the emperor after the palace examination.

Candidates found the desk case with their names written on it. At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Officials began to distribute the test papers. When the test papers were distributed, the candidates had to kneel and accept them.

This made Jiang Zhao complain about the damn feudal system again.

After getting the question paper, the candidates can stand up.

After getting the test paper, a white-haired bachelor stood up and announced the test questions.

"All Xinke tributes will be the pillars of the country in the future. Now the barbarians in the north and the monsters in the south are staring at our Tianyu. Although our Tianyu army has severely injured the northern barbarians, it has also suffered heavy losses. There will be no one in a hundred thousand troops."

"Today's palace exam strategy question is how to develop our forces in the Heavenly Territory, so as to drive out the northern barbarians and the southern demons in the future!"

"Students, you can express your feelings directly, and hand in the paper at dusk!"

Jiang Zhao originally thought that the subject of the imperial examination would most likely be on the aristocratic family.

Unexpectedly, the topic was to develop military strength.

But think about it, the officials present are all from aristocratic families, the emperor is young and weak now, and the aristocratic family controls the government, how could it be possible to blatantly weaken the power of the aristocratic family?

As soon as the word "strength" came out, Jiang Zhao thought of the "Twenty Military Merit System" of the Shang Yang Reform in the previous Qin Dynasty.

Once the military merit system is released, no matter whether it is family or military strength, everything can be solved.

Jiang Zhao thought about it in his mind, thinking about how to combine the background of this era, and write the system of twenty military meritorious titles.

After going through the general things in his mind, Jiang Zhao already had a plan, so he picked up his pen and began to answer the questions.

"I heard from my ministers that throughout the ages, there have been invincible troops, but they were all trapped by Shiqing and Shilu. The son of the Duke of the state became the prince of the state, the son of the general became the general, the son of the soldier became the soldier, and the son of the slave became the slave. Destroy the strength of soldiers."

"That's why the soldiers have no ambition to win, and think of their whole lives; the people also only want to work for food, and don't want to be soldiers."

"If you want to have the whole army, it is a title system. Your Majesty can control military merits by military merits. Whoever wants to be the leader, wants to have rights, farms, slaves, first has military merits, and then he will be awarded the title."

"There are [-] ranks, and each has its own rank. The greater the merit, the higher the rank, the better."

"And the slaves get rid of the slaves of the military meritorious titles, eat enough to live in the fields and houses, and live in glory."

"People in Houtianyu must abide by its rules, and they can only make contributions to establish Tianyu. If they can't make contributions, they have no rights at all."

"The minister is a newcomer to learning, ignorant of taboos, arrogant and strict, and trembling to the extreme, the minister is right."

An article related to the future direction of the Tianyu Dynasty, with more than a hundred words, was completed in just one stick of incense.

Fortunately, there is no word limit for palace examination policy essays.

Jiang Zhao carefully checked his essays. The imperial examinations of the Tianyu Dynasty put special emphasis on calligraphy. If the handwriting is good, you can also get extra points.

She checked and found that the handwriting was correct and there were no mistakes, so she packed up her pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and planned to hand in the paper.

Si Mubai, who was sitting behind her, saw Jiang Zhao and started packing up.

I sighed in my heart, brother Jiang Zhao is indeed a genius, and the theory of the palace examination was written so quickly.

Jing Huarong, who was sitting diagonally across from Jiang Zhao, saw that Jiang Zhao was already packing up, and thought she had given up.

He doesn't think that any good articles can be written in just one stick of incense.

Even Du Yuebin, who was sitting next to Jiang Zhao, thought that Jiang Zhao had given up.

With a sneer in his heart, he thought that the number one scholar in the palace examination was none other than himself.

In the test, if it wasn't for Jiang Zhao, then he would be the first in the test.

But think about it, Jiang Zhao is just a child from a poor family, and being able to pass the exam at the top of the list is already an honor for his ancestors.

The palace examination was proctored by His Majesty himself. Presumably, she was shivering under His Majesty's might and could not even hold a pen tightly, so she chose to give up.
