Dress up as a queen and start the game with a card drawing system

On April 23, the examination ended.

Next, it’s time to mark the test papers.

Because the examiner is Qi Yun, Qi Yun will read the test papers this time, and she will decide who wins.

Of course, before Qi Yun makes corrections, he will ask these invigilators to correct the papers and write comments and comments.

Those test questions with fixed answers can be corrected by these examiners to calculate the scores. Qi Yun mainly read their articles.

On April 27th, the examination results will be released.

In this examination, Your Majesty selected a total of 637 candidates, including 491 men and 146 women.

On the day when the results were released, Yan Xinru sat in a carriage with her personal maid Si Shu and hid in a corner to read the results.

The boy who was sent to read the list squeezed out from the crowd and said: "Miss, you won, you won!"

Yan Xinru had expected it and just asked: "Where am I?"

"You're in eleventh."

Yan Xinru was stunned.

She actually only ranked eleventh.

"Among the top ten people, are there women?"

The boy shook his head, "No, Miss, you are the number one among women!"

Yan Xinru felt a little better, "What's the name of the top one?"

"Shao Yong, it is said that he is also the Jieyuan of Black Mountain City!"

The first place in the provincial examination is called Jieyuan, the first place in the joint examination is called Huiyuan, and the first place in the imperial examination is called Zhuangyuan.

If someone can take the top spot on these three lists in a row, it will be a "three yuan and third place".

Yan Xinru has always had a high self-esteem. She once thought that if she took part in the imperial examination, she would be able to get the top spot easily.

Now that I participated in one by chance, I realized that I was too arrogant in the past.

She actually couldn't even get the Huiyuan for the exam!

In Dayu's kingdom, there were still ten people who were more talented and learned than himself!

She was quite dissatisfied.

"Go home!"

After the examination results are released, a deer roaring banquet will be held, and the palace examination will be held three days later.

This time, the host of the Luming Banquet was of course Liu Qingqing.

Although Your Majesty has taken the title of examiner, it is certainly impossible for her to actually do the work of an examiner.

In addition to topic selection and marking, Liu Qingqing is still responsible for the rest of the work of the examiner.

Liu Qingqing was not a disciple of the emperor, but she became a disciple of the emperor because of her support. This favor could not be lost no matter what.

This was her brilliance in moving Qi Yun to be the examiner.

And this move is undoubtedly telling others how much she, Liu Qingqing, has the Sacred Heart.

Those who want to climb up will naturally line up behind her as long as they understand the situation.

Let alone others, at least those female candidates who came from out of town and had no connections in the court would join Liu Qingqing's sect no matter what.

When Yan Xinru returned to the mansion, she had already gone to the ancestral hall to kneel.

Yan Jue had already heard about his daughter's success in the imperial examination. After going to court, he heard that his daughter was punishing herself in the ancestral hall, so he immediately found her.

"Father, my daughter made her own decisions and passed the examination. I hope my father will punish her."

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible daughter in front of him, Yan Jue sighed: "Get up! Your Majesty will personally mark the examination papers, so you have to answer the questions."

If you hand in a blank paper without a valid reason, and let His Majesty find out that you don't take the exam seriously, Feng Yan will be furious and it will most likely bring harm to the whole family.

This is also the reason why the female talents who were arranged by their families to enter the audition did not leave early.

No one is so stupid that he doesn't care about becoming the Emperor's disciple.

Even if she really doesn't care in her heart, she must still be grateful on her face.

It is not advisable to answer randomly. Since you can become a scholar, you must have certain skills.

If the answer level is too low, not only the examinee himself will be unlucky, but also the local officials who selected him to pass the provincial examination will be unlucky.

Those women knew that after passing this exam, they would become the Emperor's disciples and their names would be known to His Majesty.

By then, not even the family can restrain them, who wouldn't be tempted?

Yan Jue thought of His Majesty's statement this morning that foreign managers are needed in various parts of the five states.

Plan to select people from the court.

Even before the imperial examination began, His Majesty was in a hurry to select someone to send out.

This is obviously to arrange for the old men in the DPRK and the Central Government who have opinions on the New Deal to be moved out, so as to make room for the new scholars!

I am afraid that the purge of the party will be over.

Yan Jue's political acumen was very high, and he felt an unprecedented crisis.

Yan Jue has a son at his knees, but he is not very successful. He has not even gained the title of scholar yet.

He estimated that it wouldn't be long before he, like Xu Jiangwei, would be transferred to the cabinet, promoted openly and secretly.

Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God. Even if he is unwilling to do so, he can only accept it.

After he was transferred from the Ministry of Rites, whether the Yan family's prosperity could continue could only depend on the daughter in front of him.

Don't look at the fact that they keep saying that women are not good enough and that women will bring trouble to the court as officials.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that this was a high-sounding excuse because their interests were touched by the female official and in order to unite to deal with political opponents.

If the family really gave birth to a capable daughter who could continue their connections in the court, officialdom resources, and ensure the family's long-term prosperity, it would be too late for these old men to laugh in bed, so how could they really dislike her? ?

Especially now, when everyone in the Qing Party is in danger, the first batch of people to leave the Qing Party must be those whose families have daughters who won the election in this examination.

"Ru'er, my father is old, and the family has now reached the point where there is no successor. Now that you are a new imperial examination son and an official in the future, you should not forget the kindness of the family in nurturing you."

Yan Xinru was immediately elated when she heard that her father had relented and planned to agree to her joining the court as an official without her own persuasion.

But she was still afraid that these were her father's words of temptation, so she just cried: "My daughter has been taught by her father since she was a child, and has three obediences and four virtues. How can she show up in the court? Doesn't it bring shame to the family?"

Yan Jue was a little embarrassed. Seeing Yan Xinru's reluctance, he persuaded her: "Your Majesty has changed the new etiquette. It's okay for you to serve as an official..."

"You have been smart since you were young, and my father can rest assured. With the spring breeze of His Majesty's New Deal reforms, and the favors from my father's officialdom, your achievements in the future will definitely not be lower than mine."

"Now, you have to listen carefully to what my father is telling you..."

As he said that, he told his daughter one by one which people he was really close to and trustworthy in the court, which people were just superficial, which people were at odds with each other, and which people he needed to be wary of.

He also reminded her that when she becomes an official in the court in the future, she needs to pay attention to some unspoken rules in officialdom, as well as the personalities and temperaments of several cabinet officials.

The more Yan Xinru listened, the more her blood boiled.

These words, these things, were never said to her by her father!

She understood that her father completely regarded her as the heir of the Yan family in the court and told her all the Yan family's connections in the officialdom.

He said a lot, some of which Yan Xinru had guessed with her intelligence, and some of which even she didn't know.

For example, she never imagined that Mr. Zuo Xingjian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who had always been flirting with her father in the court, was actually her father's most trusted friend in the court.

The discord the two created outside was just an appearance deliberately shown to Zhuge Liang and other superior officials!

Finally, Yan Jue let out a long breath and said: "When you become an official in the future, you must always remember to keep yourself clean and love yourself. You must not be willing to degenerate. The most important thing to avoid as a minister is to be unsteady. Remember, you only need to be loyal to your mission. Just come on."

"You can fight with other ministers and unite with other ministers, but your loyalty can only be given to the king."

"As long as your heart is loyal to your Majesty, no matter how fiercely you fight with others over political differences, His Majesty will give you some mercy, but if you dare to have second thoughts, even the gods will not be able to save you. you."

"Yes, my daughter will remember her father's teachings."

Yan Xinru knelt down and kowtowed solemnly.

"In a few days, my father will cancel your marriage to the second son of the Li family."

Since it has been decided that this daughter should be regarded as the heir to the family's official resources, she must not be allowed to marry into Beppu.

Yan Jue was also a decisive person, "After a few years when you have established a firm foothold in the court, I will find you an obedient husband."

Yan Xinru's eyes suddenly turned red.

At this moment, she felt like her life was gradually in her hands.

Finally, she no longer had to be trapped in the inner courtyard and could only circle around men every day!

Yan Jue finally said: "You go to rest first, and you will also attend the Deer Ming Banquet in the evening to make friends with more people, especially those from poor families... You are my daughter, and you are in the same class as them, so it is easier to make friends with them." Winning them over, regardless of whether they are men or women, they will be your capable subordinates in the future."

"Especially Huiyuan Shao Yong, if there is a chance, it would be okay to promise him life."

Shao Yong has already won two prizes in a row. As long as he doesn't write blindly during the palace examination, there is a high probability that His Majesty will be a man of beauty and select him as the top prize.

There have long been rumors among the people that people who passed the Three Yuan Dynasty were descendants of Wen Quxing.

Selecting Shao Yong as the number one scholar will not only achieve his reputation as a third-level scholar, but also show that Your Majesty is a truly wise king who has been reincarnated by Wenquxing and served in the mortal world.

This is a win-win situation for both king and minister, and only a fool would not do it.

The first number one scholar of this dynasty was also ranked third, and his future is absolutely limitless.

If my daughter could marry such a person, it would be easy for the Yan family not to mention rebuilding its glory, but to move to a higher level.

"The palace examination will be held in three days. Prepare well. You have now stood out among the female candidates. As long as you pass the top grade in the palace examination, you will definitely be favored by the Sacred Heart."

"Yes, my daughter saved it. Please don't worry, father."

Yan Xinru raised her head, her eyes full of confidence.
