In the Jukui Hall, Taichang sat there seriously without saying a word.

More than ten Mixed officials, more than ten Censors and Censors also stood on both sides with serious faces, holding their breath and calming down.

The only sound of the remaining test papers in the lobby was solemn and grand.

The imperial examinations are the top priority for scholars these days, and the tribute scholars who can rank among the top three in the imperial examination are likely to rank among the top three in the palace examination list.

The top scorer, the second place, and the Tanhua are all talents admired by scholars all over the world.

Now the top three tributes list will be announced, so of course it must be more solemn. Even if you pretend, you must be very solemn.

So who are these three people?

The leading official Mi Feng carefully opened the outermost sealing paper on the test paper, slowly unfolded the first test paper, and looked at it, and a hint of admiration appeared on his face.

Good handwriting is really good handwriting.

Although everyone uses Guange style during the imperial examination, Guange style can also show a person's calligraphy skills. Even if the articles written in Guange style are written in Guange style, they are extremely beautiful.

Immediately afterwards, the leading official Mi Feng carefully opened the sealing paper at the front of the test paper, and the candidate's information instantly entered Taichang's eyes.

Name, Wen Zhenmeng.

Origin, Changzhou, Southern Zhili.

Seeing this, Taichang was stunned.

Well, isn’t this the famous No. 1 scholar?

Wen Zhenmeng was indeed the top scholar, and he was also one of the four great talents of Jiangnan in the Hongzhi Dynasty and Zhengde Dynasty, and Wen Zhengming.

However, it is not because of this.

The main reason for his fame is that he was humiliated by Wei Zhongxian. As a new top student, he was pulled outside the Meridian Gate by Wei Zhongxian, stripped his pants naked, and beaten them back to eighty boards. Then he was dismissed from office and demoted to a civilian.

As for the reason, he submitted a memorial to impeach Wei Zhongxian and acted miserably, and he was also listed as a member of Donglin by the eunuch party.

This article Zhenmeng naturally cannot be Donglin, because he has just passed the top scorer and has no time to attend the Donglin Conference at Donglin Academy.

Moreover, the censors are not guilty when they hear the truth. This is the rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang. What's more, he is the new top scholar, and he is not slandering others. The crimes of his impeachment are based on the basis.

The reason why Wei Zhongxian humiliated him so much is because he is the top scorer in the new subject. Wei Zhongxian wanted to tell scholars all over the world that the miscellaneous family is nine thousand years old and you can't afford to offend them!

Is the new top scorer awesome?

The new top scorer has been beaten to be a dog by the miscellaneous!

Do you still dare to chat in front of the miscellaneous family?

Alas, this guy can be said to be the most tragic No. 1 winner in history, no doubt.

Because he had just passed the top scorer and he foolishly impeached Wei Zhongxian, who was in power in the court and the country, was humiliated and beaten half to death, and was dismissed from office and removed from office.

After the Chongzhen reinstatement, he foolishly impeached the treacherous minister Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, and was humiliated again and dismissed from office and removed from office!

It is said that he was pissed to death in the end.

Wei Zhongxian and Wen Tiren are indeed not good people, and they are both powerful.

This guy went to impeach others stupidly, definitely not for himself, because he was already the top scholar and was already famous enough. His impeachment of others can be said to be pure concern for the country and the people.

OK, with his talent and concern for the country and the people, he is the first in the tribute scholar list, and even the next top scholar.

Taichang nodded slightly and signaled that Miqian official to continue.

As soon as the second test paper was opened, another exquisite calligraphy work came into your eyes.

This guy’s handwriting is actually better than Wen Zhenmeng!

To be honest, even Mi Feng was shocked.

The emperor's vision is really amazing, and the people selected are all talented people.

Needless to say, Wen Zhenmeng is a talented man who has been famous all over the world.

This person's handwriting is actually better than Wen Zhenmeng's. Who will it be?

He couldn't wait to take a break and take a look.

Name, Ni Yuanlu.

Hometown, Shangyu, Zhejiang.

Uh, I haven't heard of this!

Mi Fengguan was stunned, and Taichang was also stunned.

Ni Yuanlu, a native of Shangyu, Zhejiang?

Suzhou magistrate Ni Yuangong is also from Shangyu, Zhejiang!

Both of these two people have the surname Ni, and they are both of the Yuan generation. The last character of the name is next to the character Wang. They must have come from the same clan!

Could this guy be Ni Yuangong's younger brother?

Ni Yuangong was one of his earliest confidants, and Ni Yuangong did not rely on his favor to get a relationship with him. Ni Yuanlu is really a talented person. It would be no problem to be the second place!

Taichang nodded with satisfaction, and then signaled Miqian to continue.

As soon as the third test paper was opened, Mi Feng was stunned.

This man's calligraphy skills are actually better than Wen Zhenmeng. Although he is not as good as Ni Yuanlu, he is not much worse.

Why is the emperor so powerful?

Who is this person?

He couldn't wait to unpack the first one and saw it, and was stunned again.

Name, Huang Daozhou.

Origin, Zhangpu, Fujian.

Well, he has never heard of this!

When Taichang saw the name, he almost gave himself a big mouth.

Zodiac?

One of the two big mouth cannons in Donglin!

This guy dares to scold even those who are emperors. Isn’t he causing trouble for himself?

what to do?

To be honest, he really didn't expect that the third one would be this guy.

Question, in order to show justice, he said everything in front of the story. These three are the top three on the tribute list!

Could it be that he has to find a way to break his promise and get this guy out of the tribute list?

Taichang frowned and pondered for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed.

By the way, Donglin has been completely fucked now, and this guy can't get along with Donglin's group of people anymore.

As for the problem of verbal trouble, that is not a problem. As long as you win over it and let him scold others, it would be nice!

Whether many people with special talents are good or bad depends on how you use it. If you use it poorly, it will naturally be a disaster. If you use it well, you will be a capable person!

Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and said, "Well, just these three, Wen Zhenmeng is the first, Ni Yuanlu is the second, and Huang Daozhou is the third. You pass the test paper down and let everyone take a look."

At this point, his performance has almost finished.

After gathering so many people in Kaifeng in person, the test papers after opening them are just like calligraphy works, and their literary talent has been verified by Xu Guangqi and Bi Maokang, and they are definitely the best among these candidates.

Is this fair enough?

Sure enough, after the test paper was passed down, no matter whether it was a clerk, a censor or a minister, no matter whether it was a eunuch or not, they all nodded repeatedly with admiration on their faces.

These three people are really convincing. Not only are they well written, but they can't find any problems.

These top three are well deserved.

The top three were decided, and the subsequent marking was completed quickly. Unexpectedly, two more candidates with outstanding literary talent and eagerness to serve the country were released.

Taichang ordered people to open the test paper and see that their handwriting was very good, just like Wen Zhenmeng.

What to do?

After thinking for a long time, he decided to rank Liu Lishun and Wang Duo, who were behind, in fourth and fifth respectively.

Because he had heard of the first three, and these two seem to be of little fame in history, and should not be uniquely talented.

In fact, he made a mistake. These are actually talented people, and they are all mortal enemies of the eunuch party, and they are all called Donglin generals by the eunuch party, including Ni Yuanlu and Huang Daozhou.

As for the reason, it is very simple, because in history, the chief examiner and deputy examiner of this class were Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, and among these five, except Wen Zhenmeng, the other four were Yuan Keli's proud disciples.

Their mentor Yuan Keli was dismissed from office and removed from his post because of disobeying Wei Zhongxian. This incident also caused the murder of the four southern guards in the future. The situation in Liaodong became uncontrollable, so they naturally hated the eunuchs.

Therefore, they are incompatible with the eunuch party, and scolding the eunuch party is also the most ruthless. The eunuch party naturally wants to deal with them and falsely accus them of Donglin.

Of course, at this moment, they are no longer Yuan Keli's disciples, but the disciples of the emperor!
Chapter completed!
