For scholars in the capital, there are still many things in this period of the imperial court. First, the civil service system was introduced, and then the Zhongzheng Temple was built. Although there were many people paying attention to these two things, it was obvious that it was not a group of people paying attention to these two things.

Those who pay attention to Zhongzheng Temple have more officials, or those who have more officials at home, and then there are Juren.

Most of the people who pay attention to the civil service system are scholars and scholars below.

Among those who pay attention to the civil service system, most of them are poor scholars. Those who are rich and powerful at home do not care about the civil service system at all. This is not their pursuit or their ideal.

They are not so anxious to enter the officialdom. Jinshi is their pursuit, and they don’t have to work hard at home anyway.

Even if a small number of people pay attention to it, the number of people is still very small. Most of these people have no hope of being in the imperial examination, and they want to be officials. The smaller part is really ambitious, but they have no hope of being in the imperial examination, and they don’t want to waste their time.

For example, Sun Chengzong felt that he had no hope of imperial examinations and did not want to waste one of his years.

Since he passed the scholarship at the age of 16, Sun Chengzong has taken the Juren three times in a row, and has not passed the exam yet. Speaking of which, Sun Chengzong thinks that he is still good at studying, but he doesn't know why he just can't pass the exam.

This illusion made Sun Chengzong feel that studying hard at home is not a good idea, so he began to travel.

After arriving in the capital, Sun Chengzong began his teaching career. After all, the capital was at the foot of the emperor, so he didn't want to leave when he came here. Through his friends, Sun Chengzong found a teaching job.

He worked as a teacher at the home of Jiang Bi, the right leader of Dali Temple. After hearing about the civil service system, Sun Chengzong could not sit still.

In fact, Sun Chengzong, who was sensitive to current affairs, had long realized that this was a changing era, and he had known from the new policy implemented by Zhang Juzheng. However, like most scholars, Sun Chengzong was also skeptical about Zhang Juzheng's reform.

Many people’s evaluation of Zhang Juzheng is in four words: taking over power too much!

However, after Zhang Juzheng's death, the expected liquidation did not come. The emperor was also extremely generous to Zhang Juzheng. This time, the Zhongzheng Temple was said to have to be built for Zhang Juzheng, and it was later expanded to the construction of the temple for loyal ministers.

Recalling the emperor's policies and the emperor's age, Sun Chengzong realized that this was an opportunity.

"Brother Zhisheng, have you thought about it?"

A black-faced man in his thirties looked at Sun Chengzong and asked, "This is not a small matter. You are still young, so you don't have to be so anxious! You may not be able to get a gold medal in the exam for several classes!"

Sun Chengzong glanced at the man talking, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "I am twenty-four years old this year, and I am a scholar at the age of sixteen. Many people say that I am a genius, with extraordinary talents, and belong to the ranks of child prodigy."

"But I took the exam three times in a row and didn't even pass a juren, so why did I say that I was on the Golden List?"

Compared with the black-faced man, Sun Chengzong looked much better. His square face and straight facial features were very consistent with the aesthetic view of the Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of the black-faced man, he looked so magnificent, which was a natural material for being an official!

"Brother Zhisheng, don't make this plan. There are so many people in this world who are late to achieve great things. Besides, you are only twenty-four years old, thirty-year-old Mingjing, fifty-young Jinshi, and it is hard to get an imperial examination, so you should work tirelessly!"

After glanced at the black-faced man, Sun Chengzong knew that he was doing it for his own good, so he smiled and said, "Brother Zhongyuan, do you think I lost my confidence because I failed the third exam?"

Zhang Zhongyuan looked at Sun Chengzong and did not speak. The expression on his face showed that he was thinking that way.

"I have been working hard to study and serve the country. I have just come out of this civil servant, so it is hard to say that this is not a shortcut in Zhongnan? I can continue to take the exam, but when will I be a Juren and when will I be a Jinshi?"

"Even if I pass the Juren in the next subject, how many subjects do I need to pass the Jinshi?"

"When I really wait until I get a Jinshi at the age of fifty, how many years will I have to be an official?"

Sun Chengzong said it very calmly, but Zhang Zhongyuan didn't know how to refute Sun Chengzong. He also knew that Sun Chengzong was telling the truth. He passed the next juren and the next jinshi. He didn't believe this.

If Sun Chengzong had this ability, he would have passed the exam long ago and would not have failed the exam three times.

"There are unexpected situations in the world, and people have good fortune and good fortune every now and then. Who knows what will happen in a few years? Now that you have a chance, why not do it? I am willing to do it, and I believe this is a good opportunity."

After drinking the wine in the glass in one sip, Sun Chengzong said firmly, his eyes drifted out along the window and towards the palace of the Ming Dynasty.

"The Lord of Zhongxing should have a minister who wants to be a minister who wants to be a minister who does not have great courage and great decisions, how can you do it?"

Sun Chengzong didn't say this, but this was what he told himself in his heart. Instead of betting on the seemingly unmatched path to the imperial examination, he would rather bet on the young emperor in the palace to make a future for himself.

"Brother Zhongyuan, I will go to the civil service exam tomorrow. I wish you pass the exam!" After saying this, Sun Chengzong took out a handful of copper coins and put them on the table, and said with a smile: "Waiter, check out!"

Seeing Sun Chengzong taking big strides, Zhang Zhongyuan sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yijun is also paying attention to the civil service exam at this time. This exam is very important and it is also an exam he values ​​very much. This is a spark! A spark can burn the prairie. What Zhu Yijun needs to do now is to cultivate this spark.

Zhu Yijun didn't know that Sun Chengzong, a famous minister in the late Ming Dynasty, was ready to join the fire and be ready to become a fire.

In fact, Sun Chengzong's journey to the imperial examination has been unhappy. He was in his forties before he passed the Jinshi in his previous life. Although he was not yet fifty, it was not a few years away. However, what Sun Chengzong didn't know was that he lived long enough.

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army launched a large-scale attack. In November, they attacked Gaoyang. Sun Chengzong, who was idle at home, led all the soldiers and civilians in the city to defend the city. The city was broken and was captured and hanged to death. His five sons, six grandsons, two nephews and eight nephews died in battle. More than a hundred people in the Sun family were killed. Sun Chengzong was 76 years old at the time.

If Zhu Yijun knew that Sun Chengzong was going to take the civil service exam, he would definitely be very happy. For this name, he would need to focus on training.

"The exam preparations for tomorrow are almost done, right?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile, looking at the people standing below.

There are three organizers for this civil servant exam, one is Hai Rui and the other is Xu Wenchang. These civil servants will work under their subordinates in the future, so they naturally have to participate.

The third organizer is Lu Shenxing.

As the son of Lu Diaoyang, who was the assistant to the Ming Dynasty for the last time, Lu Shenxing has always been in the Royal Academy of the Ming Dynasty. Compared to the court struggles, he also liked the atmosphere of the school more, but this time Zhu Yijun transferred him out of the school.

As a civil servant trained by the school, Zhu Yijun attaches great importance to Lu Shenxing.

Zhu Yijun has long had plans for his status and training, and there will be more and more civil servants in the future. Lu Shenxing is the ******* prepared by Zhu Yijun. All civil servants who pass the civil service examination must come to him for training.

Zhu Yijun thought about the name of the school and called it the Ming Civil Servant School.

Although it is very tacky and has no creativity, it is more simple and clear.

After hearing Zhu Yijun's question, Hai Rui and Xu Wenchang all looked at Lu Shenxing.

As Lu Diaoyang's grandson, Hai Rui and Xu Wenchang were of course surprised, but what surprised the two of them even more was Lu Shenxing's ability. The entire recruitment and examination came to his hands, and everything was well organized and at ease.

"Your Majesty, you have prepared it, and the venue has been arranged long ago."

"There are 167 scholars who have registered for civil servants this time, and there are probably not so many people who come for the exam. However, I have prepared according to 167 people and will not make any mistakes."

"As for the exam questions, I also follow His Majesty's instructions to take the lead in exams for people's livelihood."

"If you answer the five questions correctly, those who answer the three are inferior, those who answer the four are moderate, and those who answer the five are superior. According to the emperor's instructions, this time, thirty civil servants will be recruited and selected for the best."

"But I think I'd better not accept it!"

Zhu Yijun was stunned. Lu Shenxing wanted to be better than to be ill. After thinking about it, Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Okay, just act according to your beloved! I will also go over for the exam tomorrow and encourage them."

To put it bluntly, it is to support the situation and promote it.

Expressing one's emphasis on civil servants is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also for publicity. When the next time a civil servant is recruited, a new benchmark will inevitably be set, and a large-scale recruitment will be held.

The three of them were stunned, and then they understood what Zhu Yijun meant and said in unison: "I will receive the order!"

The civil service examination was at the Gongyuan in Shuntian Prefecture. A lot of people gathered here in the morning, but the momentum was many times worse than that during the imperial examination. Of course, most of them were watching the fun.

Among the crowd, the one who was carrying the exam basket was here. He was dressed in bright clothes and held a paper fan in his hand. The one who kept shaking was obviously watching the fun.

From time to time, I even pointed and looked disdainful. Some people could not stand it anymore and covered their faces and left.

In front of the crowd, Sun Chengzong held the basket with a calm expression and looked around from time to time. He found that the people around him were also calm and couldn't help but say curiously: "Sun Chengzong, whose name is Zhisheng, is from Gaoyang, what is the name of this brother?"

The man glanced at Sun Chengzong, smiled and bowed, "Li Yiqi, whose courtesy name is Jiefu, is from Shuntian Prefecture!"

The two of them were about to chat, but suddenly the crowd became turbulent, and then the crowd was in a big uproar. A pair of imperial guards rushed over and directly separated the crowd from a long distance. Then the Jinyiwei rushed over, followed by the Dongchang man.
