After the Gongshi re-examination, a few days later, the palace examination was held on the 10th day of April.

Only after taking part in the palace examination and determining the final ranking can you be called a Jinshi.

The rankings of the palace examinations in this dynasty are divided into top three, first top and third place, the first place is number one, the second place is second place, the third place is third flower, and the third place is awarded Jinshi and the third place.

Erjia, a number of names, given to Jinshi origin.

Several names in the top three are given to people with the same background as Jinshi.

The palace examination is the same as the re-examination. It only takes one day. There is no such thing as failure. At most, it is bad luck and you will be placed in the top three and become a fellow Jinshi.

Although the reputation of Tong Jinshi is not very good, the official fortune of Tong Jinshi in the past dynasties is not too bad.

The reason why people were not eliminated in the palace examination was because of Zhang Yuan in the Northern Song Dynasty.

After this person failed the examination, he became angry and went to Xixia to become a spy. He helped Li Yuanhao invade the Northern Song Dynasty and killed many generals of the Song Dynasty. He was an out-and-out villain with talent but no virtue.

He also wrote a poem: How did Xia Song rise, Han Qi is not surprising. The river is full of dragons and tigers, and he still talks about military plans.

Later emperors learned their lesson and no longer eliminated people in the palace examination, the worst they could do was to be the same as a Jinshi.

On the day of the palace examination, everyone is paying attention.

In the palace of Prince Jin, Fu Cui asked enthusiastically: "Can we watch the number one scholar parade through the streets?"

"It's not very interesting for the No. 1 scholar to parade through the streets." Xiao Chun watched it twice and had no interest in the No. 1 scholar's parade.

"Xiao Chun, I seriously suspect that you are showing off." Fu Cui said.

"Be confident and get rid of serious doubts." Xiao Chun said with a smile.

Fu Cui yelled, "Xiao Chun, you have learned bad things from Shu Fei!"

Shu Fei came in with a food box. After hearing this, he said: "Fu Cui is really good now. He has learned how to cut and beat him. He not only criticized Xiao Chun, but also scolded me."

"I'm so good because I didn't learn from you. I'm almost black when I'm black, and I'm red when I'm nearly red." Fu Cui said with a smile.

"Oh, I really can't stand the praise. It's called black when you are close to ink, red when you are close to vermilion, you ignorant girl." Shu Fei put the food box on the table.

"It doesn't mean the same thing, it's just that you like to chew on words." Fu Cui poured warm water and held it in front of Jiang Changning, "Princess, please wash your hands."

Jiang Changning put down the puzzle in his hand, Xiulan helped her off the kang, squatted down and helped her put on her shoes.

"What did you cook again?" Jiang Changning cleaned his hands, walked to the table and sat down.

"Ophiopogon japonicus fillet, Nanny Feng said, eating Changwa will not make the princess fat." Shu Fei knew what Jiang Changning cared about.

"Why can't I get fat? I'm obviously already fat." Jiang Changning touched his face, "I almost have a double chin."

Having said that, it was good for the children to eat it, so Jiang Changning still ate the cup of Ophiopogon fish fillets obediently.

"Princess, she looks just right. She was too thin before." Aunt Feng walked in and said with a smile.

Jiang Changning touched his belly, "I have a thin frame. I look skinny, but I actually have a lot of meat."

When she saw Princess Deok, who was also pregnant, and saw that she had put on a lot of weight, she was convinced that she really hadn't put on much weight during pregnancy, and that all the food she ate was on the baby's body.

Let’s not mention it at this time.

Four hundred and twelve tributes filled the Baohe Hall.

There is only one strategy topic in the title: I am a ruler by nature, I serve the people of heaven, and I am the first person to govern the country. I am the one who nurtures and teaches you. Raising the people should not be more important than controlling the fields. I will personally see it.

Zhou Duxin was writing inkstone while thinking about how to answer.

Although this dynasty will not be punished for words, being demoted will still cause headaches.

He doesn't care how much control he has, but he has to take care of the people in his family and the princess.

A quarter of an hour later, the ink was polished.

Zhou Duxin took up the pen and wrote on the draft paper: I am right, I heard that the way to govern is to have a government that is benevolent to the people, and it is especially important to have a benevolent heart for the people. I have a benevolent heart. I am extremely trembling. I am sincere.

right.

It contained thousands of words. After reading it once, Zhou Duxin felt that he had written it well and began to copy it carefully.

You can submit the paper in advance for the imperial examination, but Zhou Duxin finished copying and was not in a hurry to hand it in.

He read it again, checking whether there were any typos or omissions, whether there were any taboos, whether there were taboos in places that should be avoided, and whether the number of words met the requirements.

At this time, people were already handing in papers and leaving one after another, but the emperor had been sitting on the throne at the front, and the ministers had all left.

The emperor personally presided over the palace examination, which represented the importance he attached to the imperial examination and talents.

Those who have participated in the palace examination can be called disciples of the emperor.

Zhou Duxin counted silently, and after more than twenty people had handed in their papers, he packed up his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, neatly put the things into the examination basket, and raised his hand to signal to the eunuch in front that he wanted to hand in his papers.

The eunuch came over, put his name on the test paper, and said, "Please follow the younger one."

Zhou Duxin picked up the examination basket, bowed his body, and under the guidance of the eunuch, exited the Baohe Hall. Without daring to stay longer or talking to other Gongshi, he walked quickly to the palace entrance.

When they arrived outside the palace, the young servant of the Zhou family saw him with sharp eyes and hurriedly greeted him, "Third Master, thank you for your hard work. The carriage is over there."

When he returned home, Zhou Chengcheng urged him, "Quickly reveal the strategy and let me take a look."

Zhou Duxin obediently wrote out the strategy and handed it to him to read.

"Well, your writing has improved. There should be no problem on the paper. Now let's look at the content." Zhou Chengcheng read it carefully.

After reading it, Zhou Chengcheng smiled, "That's right, that's right, especially these few sentences, the benevolence that nourishes the people will last for a long time."

"As long as we don't fall into the top three, that's fine." Zhou Duxin said with a smile.

"If you have no ambition, why don't you think about it and enter the first division? It would be such an honor to be the top pick and parade through the streets." Zhou Shouxin said.

Zhou Duxin said calmly: "Dreaming is faster."

"It shouldn't fall into the top three. The second-tier ranking will be higher, and don't even think about the first-tier one." Zhou Chengxin analyzed matter-of-factly.

"After ten years of hard work and no one asking, he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop." Zhou Shouxin shook his head and said.

We just have to wait a few days to know the ranking.

In the palace, in a palace, the examiners were evaluating papers.

There were so many tributes admitted this time that the emperor appointed ten evaluators.

After the examiners have read the paper, they will mark it.

The circle is the first level, the hook is the second level, the dot is the third level, the horizontal line is the fourth level, and the cross is the fifth level.

In addition, he will also write comments and stamp his official seal.

The one with the most circles is the best one, and ten copies are selected and presented to the emperor, who appoints the first, second, and third highest graders in the royal batch, which are the familiar top picks, second picks, and top picks.

On the evening of the 15th, all the more than 400 papers were marked. All the examiners looked tired and their eyes were red.

The ten selected papers were sent to the emperor.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Duxin and other tribute scholars entered the palace early and stood in two rows outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony according to their ranking in Chunwei. They were wearing Jinshi uniforms issued by the imperial court.

In the palace, the emperor was discussing matters with the courtiers of the fourth rank and above. The most important thing today was the final ranking of the new Jinshi.

The ranking can greatly affect the official career. The three people who have passed the Jinshi and the first Jinshi can directly enter the Hanlin Academy and be promoted to official positions immediately.

The number one scholar is generally awarded to the editor of the sixth grade, the second and third best are generally awarded to the editor of the seventh grade, and the first place in the top two is generally awarded to the editor of the seventh grade.

The remaining Jinshi and those with the same Jinshi background still need to take the Chao Kao, and only after passing the Chao Kao can they enter the Hanlin Academy.

If you fail to pass the imperial examination, you can only be sent to other lower-level officials such as local magistrates at the county level or officials of the six ministries.

If you are not a member of the Hanlin Academy and do not join the cabinet, you cannot enter the Hanlin Academy, which means that you have no way to become a first-class official.

Of course, it is not impossible to make exceptions if you have obtained the Sacred Heart very much, but this situation is very rare.

Note: The questions and answers are selected from the Yiwei Kedian Examination Questions in the 11th year of Chenghua.
