Bachelor

Chapter 372 Huiyuan
Generally speaking, the exam period is the ninth day of February, three sessions and nine days, and the exam ends on February [-]th.

According to the procedure, after the exam is completed, it is transcribed, sealed, and graded.By the end of February, the ranking will be available on March [-]st at the latest.

Because Chunwei, the subject Sun Dan participated in, was Enke, the examiners were also very careful, and the results were released on February 29th.It can be seen from this that the efficiency of the group of examiners headed by Zhao Jian is still very good.

After the examination results are released, for scholars, the long journey of studying is over.

Of course, there is the last palace test to pass.In fact, this level is no longer an exam for the vast majority of candidates.In fact, after passing the test, almost 500 people were admitted. These people are also called Gongshi, which means talents who have contributed to the emperor. Only these [-] people can be qualified to participate in the palace test.

As long as one is admitted as a tribute, no matter how poor the palace examination is, there is no such thing as losing one's reputation.

Moreover, the exam questions in the Palace Examination are also very simple. It is just a theory, an article with hundreds or thousands of words. For many people, it is easy to pick up a pen, and there is no difficulty at all.

The so-called palace examination supervised by the emperor himself is just to rank these people, and sometimes they don’t even read the papers, let the examiner review the papers first, and then circle them with a red pen.

As for who will win the number one scholar, who will be awarded the Jinshi, and who will be the same Jinshi, the emperor has already arranged in advance according to the ranking of the candidates in the general examination.That is to say, the result of your test is the result of the palace test, and the emperor is just going through the motions.It's just that the top three in the first class, that is, the top pick, the second place, and the third place in the first class, are too sensitive, and they are the focus of the attention of scholars all over the world. The article about the imperial examination should also be published in the residence newspaper.Therefore, the policy theory of the imperial examination is still very important.At least for those who aspire to enter the Hanlin Academy, and those who aspire to enter the top three.

On the 29th, the test list was released.

The entire Sun family was tense for a while, but Sun Dan didn't think it was a big deal. The Gongshi in this department was determined to win, and his mood was very stable.

The damn nine-day test made his biological clock a little messed up. He slept until nine o'clock in the morning Beijing time in the later generations, and missed the most important day in his life.

When he was sound asleep, that is, around three o'clock in the morning, Ting Lan had already woken up all the family members.The maids began to prepare lanterns and firecrackers, and sent people to kneel in front of the shrine to pray continuously.And the boys were sent by her like running water to the Tribute Academy to watch the list, and kept passing the news back home.

There was a lot of noise, which made Sun Dan sleep quite uneasy.

By around nine o'clock, the sky was bright.Then there was a wave of cheers, the sound of gongs and drums, and the crackling of firecrackers.

One of the servants ran into Sun Dan's yard and shouted, "Master has won, master has won."

Sun Dan didn't sleep well at all, and couldn't even open his eyes. He was so angry that he rolled over from the bed, opened the door and yelled angrily: "What's the noise, why don't you let people sleep?"

The servant's face turned pale from Sun Dan's scare. Recently, the master likes to get up late, and he has the urge to get up.Generally speaking, don't mess with the master within half an hour after he wakes up, and it's best to ignore him.

The servant thought that if he was the first to report such a happy event, there would be happy money to ask for, but he didn't expect to touch Sun Dan's bad luck, and his face immediately turned into a bitter melon.

And Zhiniang appeared behind Sun Dan, smiled softly at the servant, and asked softly, "Did you win?"

"Yes, yes, the master is hit." Jia Ding nodded repeatedly.

"It's true, and the ancestors bless you!" Zhi Niang rubbed her chest and let out a long breath, "It's only now that the master has really become an official of the court, and has become a grand master. When we were in Shandong, we never dreamed of it." There is today."

As she spoke, her eyes became a little hazy, with a hint of water in her eyes: "Since Zhiniang married into the Sun family, she only wants to stay with you, Master, for the rest of her life. But today, looking back now, I really can't believe it!"

When Sun Dan heard Zhiniang's words, he was moved in his heart, took Zhiniang's hand, and said softly: "My lady, Sun Dan owes you too much, this life is not over, and I can only do my best to let you live well." Days." His waking up gas is gone.

"Congratulations, master." Ting Lan walked in, waved her hand at the servant, and said with a smile, "You're a clever human being, that's all, go to the accountant to receive the reward."

The family member hurriedly went to thank you.

"Wait, what number did I win?" Sun Dan remembered to ask his own ranking.

Ting Lan beamed with joy: "Returning to the master, you won the No. 1 club in the current subject examination. By the way, the official messenger who delivered the good news is still waiting outside, and I asked the master to go out and send them away."

Sun Dan nodded secretly: Sure enough, he won the first place as expected. This No.1 dare not say that the top three cannot escape.It depends on the level of the palace test the day after tomorrow.

After going out, he socialized a few words with the officials who came to announce the good news, and sent out more than 30 taels of happy money. The people who came to deliver the good news were naturally very happy.They all secretly said: Mr. Sun's atmosphere is still here, and the price is a few dozen taels of tea, unlike some tributes who only give a dozen Wen, which is so shabby.Sure enough, he is the number one famous person in the country. Only Yang Ge can match his demeanor and ostentation.It's a pity that the Sun family is still very small, if I hit a few more tributes in one go, wouldn't it make me rich?
After a few words with the official, Sun Dan learned about the release of the rankings for this subject. It turned out that this time was different from the previous round of rankings. A wedding shed was set up directly at the entrance of the Gongyuan, and the names of the candidates were hung out. .

Before dawn, thousands of candidates went to see the list.

Nearly 500 people were admitted to this subject, among which Jiangxi was the most, nearly [-], followed by Jiangsu, followed by Zhejiang and Fujian.It can be seen how prosperous the cultural relics and education in Jiangnan is.Huguang, Zhili, Shanxi, and Sichuan are next, and each province has only a few dozen people.The least is Yunnan and Guizhou. It seems that there are only three people in the two provinces combined.

After saying a few words and taking a sip of rice wine, several officials stood up and said goodbye, saying: "Mr. Sun is very famous, and he has won the junior three yuan before. Now it is Jieyuan and Huiyuan again. It seems that the palace examination the day after tomorrow should also I have won the number one prize. For the matter of Lianzhong Sanyuan, I have only produced one Master Shang since the founding of the country, and it seems that now it will be on your head, Master Sun."

Sun Dan smiled, in his heart, it doesn't matter if he is the number one scholar or not, as long as he can enter the Imperial Academy and get the qualification to join the cabinet.

After he sent the officials out, he asked them about the address of Zhao Jian, the chief examiner, and ordered his servants to prepare the carriage and go to Zhao Shangshu's mansion.
