The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 129 The Capital
Time flies, and a month passes quickly.

It's January.

February is the test in the capital, and we need to start now.

Runtu took Zhang Ergou to the capital together, and accompanied Wang Juzi on the way.

Arrived in the capital more than ten days in advance.

Ten days passed.

On the day of the examination, he and Wang will take part in the examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites.

There are three chief examiners and more than 30 examiners.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites is in charge.

Most of the examiners are Hanlin Academy.There are offerings, but there is not much real power, and the status is respected.

Various systems are similar to the township examination.

There are three exams, each for three days.

The first test is the scriptures, the second test is the theory, and the third is the strategy.

It still pays attention to stereotyped writing, which requires high craftsmanship.

Runtu also specifically asked some people to learn the method of stereotyped writing better.

Candidates from all over the world gathered in the capital.

They are all candidates, and there are thousands of candidates.

There are only three to 400 people who can pass the exam, and the elimination rate is also very high.

Candidates in the capital have the advantage of waiting for work at leisure.

People from other places come all the way, guides, registration, and other messy things are exhausting enough.

Fortunately, they are already Juren, and they are not short of silver taels at ordinary times.

The exams are relatively routine.

But the more routine it is, the more serious it is.

Everyone thinks it is simple, so how to increase the score.

The test will be more stringent than before.

Not only are the students strict, but the examiners are even stricter.

These days, they can only stay in the Gongyuan and are not allowed to go anywhere.

The main reason is that the latter policy theory is more difficult and can increase the distance.

Nine days passed and everyone handed in their papers.

All of them looked very tired.

Excited and frustrated.

"Brother Zhang, how do you feel this time? I have suffered a lot, and I have been exhausted for nine days. Brother Zhang looks pretty good."

Together out of the examination room.Wait a few days for the answer to be revealed.

The test requirements are more stringent.

The examiner can only look at his own share, and cannot comment on the merits of the test with others.

Usually a paper will be reviewed by several reviewers.The imperial examination is considered fair.

Several examiners struggled for several days, and they read most of the papers.

Several hundred copies were taken out.

Get ready to sort them.

"This policy theory is good and has something to say."

The examiner took a test paper and handed it to the examiner.

His right to take is only able to recommend.

But generally those who pass it here, the examiner will also pass.

After many days, the papers for the three exams were completed one by one.

The rankings were also arranged, and they were all sealed up.

Officials who filled the list were arranged.

After tidying up, I sent it over and the list will be released tomorrow morning.

On this day, none of the scholars in the capital could sleep well.

The place where the list was released was full of people on the inner three floors and the outer three floors.

Everyone is getting tense.

Read the list while releasing the list.

"3 Fifty people, Zhang An, Changshan Mansion."

"349, Zhao Qiang from Taiping Mansion."

"348, Wangyou of the capital."

Everyone onlookers looked for names they recognized on the list.

There were too many people, and most of the people who came and crowded were poor scholars and servants.

Runtu was sitting in the inn at the moment, and he was in a rather disturbed mood.

"Brother Zhang, you can still sit still on this day?"

Pull him out directly.

At this time, the streets were crowded with people.

There is a restaurant opposite the place where the list is released.

The restaurant was full of people.

The name of this Wang Juzi is Wang Chunzhi.

But Wang Chunzhi had reserved a seat in advance.

Pulling Runtu up the stairs together.

There is a special servant who reads the list for them, and will come back and reply whenever there is news.

There are many like them.

The location of this restaurant is good.Everyone did the same thing, some servants were watching from the outside, and the scholars were sitting in the restaurant waiting for the result.

"Mr. Li from Changshan is on the list and won the 3th place."

The people who announced the good news began to come in one after another, yelling a few times.

"Brother Li, congratulations."

"reward."

"I just started to read the list, and all the virtuous brothers have a chance, but I only got the last place, more than 300."

Although it was the last, the joy on his face couldn't be concealed.

The people around are also full of envy, thinking how good it would be if they were themselves.

Every once in a while someone came into the building to announce the good news.

This restaurant also has hundreds of candidates, that is, Juren.There are probably dozens of them.

The people sitting outside the window waited anxiously, looking out the window to see when they could pronounce their names.

Time passed slowly.

"173, Master Wang Chunzhi of Hangzhou Mansion."

Wang Chunzhi next to him heard Gao Gao say: "Reward, I won, brother Zhang, I won, I won."

As he spoke, he even burst into tears.

It stopped after a while, and I was very excited when I was hit, but Runtu next to me didn't know the result yet, so it wouldn't be too late to be happy together when the result came out.

The top [-] will be registered soon.

Those very confident and calm people in the restaurant can't sit still now.

After all, most of the places have passed.The top [-] is not so good.

The more advanced the person, the better the result, even if it is the palace examination, the chance of being a second-class Jinshi is greater.

continue to wait.

Registration is getting closer and closer.

At this time, Runtu was a little uneasy.

There was no wave on his face, but he was very worried.

There are only forty people in the front, and all of them are dragons and phoenixes.

It made Wang Chunzhi next to him very nervous.

"With Brother Zhang's ability, it is not surprising that the ranking is high."

He kept comforting Runtu.

That's what I said, but no one can be sure.

Everyone in the restaurant was a little desperate.

Gradually, no one came into the restaurant to announce the good news.

After a while, hurried footsteps came again.

It's Zhang Ergou.

"Boss, we won, we won, No. 40 nine."

This servant is more exaggerated and looks happier than everyone else.

Hearing this voice, Runtu's heart also settled down.

"Brother Zhang, congratulations, I knew you could do it."

The announcer also came.

"Master Zhang Ruosong from Shaoxing Prefecture, I am happy to win the No. 40 nine."

"it is good."

Runtu was very excited.It even broke into the top fifty.

According to the past practice, there will not be too much difference between the ranking of the general examination and the ranking of the palace examination.

"congratulations."

Runtu gave him a tael of silver directly.

All the people in the restaurant cast envious eyes.

There are 49 places, and there is one less place.

The average Jinshi must be a seventh-rank county magistrate at least.

Those who are more powerful will enter Hanlin.

The power of the county magistrate is similar to that of the Tu Emperor, who can kill or seize a county.

More people in the restaurant are more jealous.

In the same ten years of studying hard in the cold window, others can get in, but I can't get in, secretly thinking that it is unfair.
