Chapter 915 New No. 1 Scholar (1)

There are also women who participated in the palace examination, which are strongly sought after by young handsome men in Changsha City.

This is the future female official.

After the emperor came to power, the status of Wu Xun was rapidly elevated. Now it seems that the status of a woman can also be greatly elevated.

Zhao Dongting in the palace knew this very well, but he just let it go.

In this society, human relationships are always indispensable.

However, he didn't care about the relationship between these tribute men and their backstage. He personally presided over the palace examination and eventually spoke with his grades.

But at the same time, the Supervision Bureau has many spies traveling through the streets and alleys of Changsha City.

This was Zhao Dongting's instruction.

Although he had already passed these tests in the provincial examination, government examination, and college examination, he still did not want to miss this part when he went to the palace examination.

The first priority is to be a official.

Two days before the palace examination, the student was disqualified from the palace examination due to improper behavior. At the same time, the emperor personally issued an order to never hire the candidates.

This scared the students gathered in the city very much.

From here on, I was honest and didn't dare to move the little thoughts of walking.

On February 14th, the palace examination arrived as scheduled.

There is already spring in Changsha City.

Candidates from all over the country rushed to Yuelu Academy early.

The imperial examinations are divided into civil and military officials, and the military examinations are two days behind the civil and civil examinations.

There are 509 fresh candidates.

This was not beyond Zhao Dongting's expectations.

Although there are many academic institutions everywhere, it is difficult to have so many students with outstanding knowledge and qualifications for palace examinations.

You should know that students of this era are just getting involved in the saying "professional..."

The examination subjects are divided into eighteen subjects, and the test papers are all different and each has its own targets. However, there is also a popular test paper, focusing on political cognition, which is a subject that every student must take.

In the early morning, Zhao Dongting took Lu Xiufu and others to Yuelu Academy in person.

The birds sing and the flowers are fragrant in Yuelu Academy, and the scenery is pleasant and full of elegance.

When Zhao Dongting and others arrived, the dean of Yuelu Academy hurriedly accompanied them.

When the bells in the academy rang, the candidates gathered in the square of Yuelu Academy.

Both men and women have them, but now, the proportion of male students is far greater than that of female students. After all, there are not many women who can read in this era.

These female students who are capable of attending the palace examination are no surprises. Women from wealthy families. Those who have the will to do so will still be at home to read.

Zhao Dongting took Lu Xiufu and others to the square.

All the students in the audience quickly knelt on the ground, "Long live my emperor!"

They are inevitably excited.

Not to mention passing the palace examination, even being able to meet the emperor is already a great honor in this era. Even if you fail to return to the place, this is a thing worth bragging about.

There are thousands of people in the Song Dynasty. How many people can see the emperor’s true appearance?

"Everyone is flat!"

Zhao Dongting brushed his hand slightly, signaled everyone to get up, and said with a smile: "This is my first imperial examination since the reform of the imperial examination system. I am very pleased to see so many students qualified for the palace examination. You are all pillars of the Song Dynasty. It is very difficult to make your name in various majors in this short period of time. This is enough to show that your efforts, perseverance and talent are outstanding. The Song Dynasty today lacks talents like you."

His few short words made the students look even more excited.

Zhao Dongting continued, "Now there are few officials in all yamen. I don't mind promising you here. As long as you can get good results in the palace examination, I will send you all to positions where you are good at. However, I also need to talk ugly things ahead. If you are unconsciously whispering, secretly looking at other people's test papers, etc., I will not let you go. I appoint officials, first of all, and secondly, only by paying attention to your abilities."

"yes."

The candidates quickly bowed.

Zhao Dongting looked at Lu Xiufu next to him, "What do you have to say about the State Order?"

Lu Xiufu shook his head gently with a smile.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "In this way, you are all ready to enter the field to take the exam! Don't be nervous, just use your knowledge to the best of your ability."

After saying that, amid the tide of long live, he led Lu Xiufu and others to the depths of the academy.

With his emperor's resources, it is naturally impossible to go to various examination halls to inspect in person. Being able to sit in Yuelu Academy is enough to show his importance to this palace examination.

Students from all walks of life entered the examination hall one after another.

The bells in the yard rang again.

The first imperial examination after the Song Dynasty reform began under such circumstances.

There were old masters holding rulers in each examination room to patrol and shuttle back and forth. Outside the examination room, there were even soldiers wandering in groups.

These old masters are all respected people from various academic institutions in Changsha City.

In such a situation, candidates must not dare to do anything fraud.

After two consecutive days, Zhao Dongting stayed in Yuelu Academy during the day and personally invigilated the exam.

Perhaps his words worked. There was really no cheating person from beginning to end in this palace examination.

This made Zhao Dongting quite happy. At least, these people's character was quite good. Unlike later generations, people did not use any means and tried their best to pass the exam.

After the article was over, the students of each student did not leave Changsha City and had to wait for the results to be released in Changsha City.

However, there are always officials who want to visit Lu Xiufu and others instead of the young man at home, and want to know how the young man at home performs this time.

However, Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu and others had expected that they had already closed their doors to thank the guests.

So everyone could only wait.

The inside of Changsha City is calm on the surface, but the hearts of these students are ups and downs, and they are really nervous.

Then the martial arts began.

It is much easier to practice martial arts, only two subjects: Confucian generals and powerful generals.

Confucian generals mainly test the arrangement of troops, training soldiers, and the use of combat skills, etc.

For the powerful generals, they will take horsemanship, archery, etc.

Zhao Dongting originally thought that those who took the Confucian generals would avoid those who took the test of the powerful generals, but in the end, he found that more people took the test of the powerful generals.

Perhaps before this era, they either practiced martial arts or practiced literature. Most of the people who practiced literature had already taken the exam for literature, and the number of people who took the exam for Confucian generals here was much smaller.

Of course, there are also candidates who are both Confucian and fiercely tested. Such candidates have already shown their strengths before they can refer to them. They think they are great talents with both civil and military skills.

Deputy Military Commander Su Liuyi personally presided over the exam, and Zhao Dongting was in charge.
