Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 304
"Ziming, you don't know that because of your affairs, I haven't been able to eat well or sleep lately. I'm worried that the emperor will be angry with you. I'm sorry for you! Also, I asked the governor two days ago and I heard that you are going back Anlu Prefecture is gone, and the emperor didn't want to stay. I was sad to hear that, brother, and I've been out of energy lately! Today, the emperor called brother Yun to come over, saying that he wanted to notify you to participate in the scientific examination, and gave you an order that you must If you pass the exam, you will be ranked in the top three, and then he will appoint you as the champion!"

"Ziming, you take the exam well, and when the time comes to serve the emperor, we will be able to work together again!"

Lin Tong said loudly happily.

Qin Shao was a little confused, not knowing what kind of operation this was.

He wanted to ask Zhu Houzhao why he suddenly let him take part in the test?
Seeing Wang Yun's ambiguous eyes, he temporarily suppressed his curiosity and responded to Lin Tong pretending to be very happy.

This errand was originally informed by Wang Yun, Lin Tong was too excited to hear the news, so he came together.

Wang Yun reminded Lin Tong that he still had other errands to do. Qin Shao promised to treat him to dinner and drinks in a few days, and he happily went to do his own errands.

"Why did the emperor suddenly let me take part in the examination?"

As soon as Lin Tong left, Qin Shao asked directly.

Wang Tu also had an expression on his face eager to know the reason.

"The emperor was stimulated, I don't think he really uses you!"

Wang Yun's face was not very good.

"What stimulated the emperor?"

Qin Shao also found this strange.

On the surface, Zhu Houming liked him very much and didn't blame him, but he kept showing up by his side and doing so many things.

Qin Shao already felt Zhu Houzhao's inner conflict, and his slight guard against himself.

He wants to use the clan, but he is afraid of the clan, especially the princes who are too close, after all, he has no heirs yet.

So, be very sensitive to your own attitude.

At least he felt that Zhu Houzhao would not fully trust himself even if he stayed, and he never objected when he returned to Anlu Prefecture.

In a few days, he suddenly proposed to let himself take part in the scientific examination, which really made people suspicious.

"Yang Shoufu's son, Yang Shen, said at the son-in-law banquet yesterday that he is bound to win No.1 in the first-class competition and win the No. , I heard, a lot of unhappy, came back and smashed a lot of things!"

"Call me over today. After asking about your situation, let me inform you to take part in the examination! At that time, the governor and Lin Tong were both present, and they were also very happy. It's just that I think the emperor is just a passing moment. If you really want to use the prince, you should Let Shizi go over and tell Shizi about this matter. I just let me come back to pass the letter today, I feel disrespected, after all, Shizi has helped him so much..."

Wang Yun said with a gloomy expression.

"Hey!"

Wang Tu sighed.

"My son, what do you think should be done about this matter? There are so many talents in the imperial examination, how can you say that you can take the exam if you take the top three? The number one scholar doesn't say that you can take the exam if you want, isn't that embarrassing? Then Yang Shoufu's Your son has participated once before, he has a reputation as a child prodigy since he was a child, and he has been studying for so many years..."

Wang Tu was a little angry at Zhu Houzhao's request.

"My lord, you said this..."

Wang Yun said with some embarrassment.

Now his relationship with Qin Shao has been made public. Although he keeps the Jin Yiwei now, he keeps a low profile. Even with Lin Tong and Jiang Bin, he tries to avoid too close contact, lest Zhu Houzhao become suspicious.

"Don't worry, since he wants me to take the test, I'll take it, but I can't guarantee that the test will be so good, unless he cheats me and read the test papers in advance."

Qin Shao laughed, trying to ease the atmosphere.

This ancient imperial examination is actually much more difficult than the previous life. It can be said that there are very few people who pass the imperial examination at one time.

Nowadays, many of the candidates in Beijing are people with many times of actual combat experience.

Even though he is familiar with those Four Books and Five Classics now, he still can't guarantee that he can really pass the Jinshi examination.

But since he came to Daming once, and now that Zhu Houzhao gave him a chance, he might as well give it a try.

"Yes! My son, since the emperor asked us to do it, we will do it on a whim. It's the end of the month. You can go back after the exam. Then go see the concubine. The concubine is a few days away. Hearing that you are going back, I am in a very unhappy mood, I told her, she must be happy, now that you have established a clear relationship, entering the palace will not be so troublesome."

Wang Tu supported it.

……

The first day of April.

Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Houzhao formally appointed two examiners: Ming Shaochuan and Prince Taichuan Minister of the Household Department Jiang Mian, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and Zhan Shifu Minister of Officials and Liang Chu, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, as the examiners .

There are 18 examiners, which is the legendary "Eighteen House System".

Jiang Mian and Liang Chu were the presidents, and the other 18 examiners read the Five Classics test papers separately, selected the test papers that they thought were good, and finally submitted them to the president for ranking.

Of course, these test papers are completely sealed and copied.

Therefore, if the examiner wants to cheat based on handwriting, it will not work.

However, the president also has his own rights, that is, the right to read the answer sheets that were rejected by the same examiner.

If you feel that the failed papers are good, you can nominate them, but the chief examiner will also face pressure. The papers he selected must be read by others, and the papers of the successful candidates must be made public.

If you bring up a poor test paper for selfishness, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the pressure will not be mentioned...

Therefore, Qin Shao learned about the Great Ming Science Examination, and felt that it was very fair!
In short, no matter in ancient times or now, this scientific research is very good!
The second day of April.

The emperor ordered Yang Tinghe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, to pay homage to the ancestor of Confucius. After the memorial ceremony, the examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites officially began, and candidates entered the arena.

The location of the exam is the Gongyuan of Mingshifang in the southeast of Shangjing.

When Qin Shao entered the arena, he saw Zhang Cong who was carrying a test basket from a distance. The two didn't speak, but just nodded.

The general examination is the same as the rural examination, one exam in three days, a total of three exams, nine days.

You can rest after one exam, but you can't leave the Gongyuan in the middle.

That is to say, you have to stay in the dormitory for nine days when you pass the exam, and you have to eat, drink and drink in the Gongyuan for these nine days.

Compared with the food provided in some places in the rural test, the food in the Beijing test must be prepared by yourself.

Qin Shao sighed that this is not as good as the place.

Fortunately, this place is different from the toilet in the No. [-] room of the Kekao Lasa he saw in his previous life. The Gongyuan has a latrine, but if you want to go to the latrine during the exam, you must be accompanied by soldiers.

The food was prepared by Wang Yun's wife, Mrs. Fu, who brought Qin Shao bacon, pickles, flatbread, rice, and a small pot.

There is charcoal prepared by the imperial court in the No. [-] house, and candidates can cook by themselves after the exam.

Compared with the strict search of the township examination, Qin Shao found that the search of the general examination was relatively loose, and it could even be said to be a routine.

After all, the people who took the exam were all Juren, and even if they had fame, those soldiers still respected them very much.

If you conduct a strict body search today, you may be awarded a Jinshi in a few days, and you will be a lord in a short time, and you will even be valued. At that time, I will wear a pair of shoes for you, so you can walk around without eating!
Therefore, being able to be a soldier in Shangjing is also a very winsome master!
Not everyone can get into such an errand!

When Juzi entered the dormitory, the door was instantly closed.

Unless the capital is captured, everything outside has nothing to do with the candidates who take the exam.

Toss in, tidy up things, get familiar with the environment, go to the toilet, everything is over, it is already evening.

The papers will be distributed on the second day, and the exam will officially start. Many candidates start to cook and prepare for the next day's exam.

Qin Shao ate meatloaf at noon, and now he has no appetite.

I made the bed, lay on the bed board, and looked at the gradually darkening sky.

"Eldest son!"

Suddenly there was a cry from the side.
