On this day, Tang Ruilang was also taking the test.It's just that the young master of the dignified Shangshu's right servant Shejia doesn't need to endure this miserable wind and rain with ordinary Gongsheng.

Since the Tang family is an in-law of the clan, and Tang Quan held an important position in the imperial court, in order to avoid suspicion, he took part in the "Between Examination" of the Ministry of Officials.

From the side of Mingyuan Tower, one can also see the examination hall set up in the selection courtyard of the Ministry of Officials to the west.It was a small building of a rich and green family. Although the door was closed, it was not difficult to imagine that the conditions inside must be much more comfortable than the Gongyuan.

If it is said that the candidates in the Gong Yuan are fighting to change their own lives, then those people in the small building will probably determine the future of the Daning Dynasty.

More than [-] candidates were divided into three sessions.After all the exams were finished, the days and nights of more than half a month passed by in a hurry.

After that, all the test papers were ambiguously named and handed over to the three-level review of the examination paper officer, the reference officer, and the Zhigong Ju, and it was abolished for more than ten days.Afterwards, the results of the provincial examination were released, and there were more than 130 candidates, but only [-] were left in the end.

On the third day of February, at midnight, the bells and drums sound together.The imperial list inscribed with a name of 130 was slowly carried out from the Ministry of Rites and posted on the east wall of the Gongyuan.

Candidates, who had been anxiously tossing and turning all night, flocked to the front of the list like a tide, looking for their names.However, no matter the Tang Mansion in Shengyefang or the Zitong Courtyard in Zichen Palace, they both got the news early, and no one came to check.

When the spring test is over, the spring breeze will come as expected.The streets of Zhaojing, which had been silent for a whole winter, gradually changed from light yellow to light green, and from light green to bursting with colorful splendor.

When the first peach blossoms bloomed in the imperial garden, the period of the palace examination was also set.

After a period of cultivation in Penglai Pavilion, Emperor Huiming's health has improved greatly.Therefore, although the prince's system of supervising the country has not changed, he still personally presides over the palace examination.

On February 130th, [-] candidates on the list, led by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, formed two teams and entered the Qianyuan Hall of Zichen Palace through the side doors on both sides of the Qianyuan Gate.

At this moment, the layout of Qianyuan Hall has been completed.The empty palace was neatly filled with desks and cases. Not only were there paper and pens on the tables, but there were even precious delicacies bestowed by the imperial court.

Everyone knelt down in front of the steps to salute, shouted long live, and then came to the table in order.

Only then did they dare to raise their heads and look quietly to the north.

On the golden throne, Emperor Huiming, crowned by Dragon Dagon, was sitting in danger.On the left and right sides of the dragon couch, stood two handsome servants, one tall and one short.The tall young man with a bright head was obviously the Duke of Changqiu, Qi Yunchu, while the short one vaguely had the shadow of a young man, but he was dressed in a purple robe and looked very regal.

However, the top priority right now is not curiosity and inquiry. The test papers have already been distributed, and from now until sunset, it is the last chance to give it a go.

Immediately there was silence in Qianyuan Hall, only the rustling of scrolls and the sound of writing could be heard.

After a while, Emperor Huiming seemed a little tired, so he was supported to go to Penglai Pavilion. Before leaving, he asked Qi Yunchu and Lu You to continue guarding the hall for him and pay attention to the performance of the candidates.

The two took orders at the same time.However, after sending the emperor away respectfully, Qi Yunchu also left with an excuse, leaving only Lu You to look at each other with the examiners from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.

It's really boring to stand around like this.Lu You wandered left and right for a while, and soon found the person he was looking for.

Tang Ruilang, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was sitting at the farthest side of the three rows on the east side, writing vigorously without raising his head.

However, if you look closely at his expression and demeanor, you can see that his thick eyebrows are furrowed, obviously not satisfied.

This is, is there any problem encountered?

Lu You's footsteps were silent, pretending to be patrolling, approaching Rui Lang little by little, and then standing on the side of his desk with his hands behind his back, carefully looking at the contents of his roll.

Swiss Lang's characters are upright without losing their character, yet elegant in their vigor.When he was in the Guozijian, Lu You secretly imitated it for a while.

However, at this moment, what Lu You cares more about is the coherent meaning of this beautiful handwriting.

There is only one policy question in the examination questions of the Daning Dynasty Palace Examination.This year's policy question is a "literary policy".The examination is the literary skills of the candidates.

In all fairness, compared with other policy questions such as "Operational Research Decisive Section" and "Virtuous Founder Can Outspoken and Admonish Section", this topic in front of me is really simple.

Lu You calmed down, and then peeked at Rui Lang's countermeasures—let alone the intention and use of allusions, the writing and rhetoric are already excellent.The rest of the people in this hall may not be able to match it.

He thought about it again, and then he suddenly understood.

Rui Lang frowned, probably because he didn't like this question.

Since ancient times, the Imperial Palace Examination has been used to select talents for the imperial court to govern the world and strategic planners.But now that there is a science competition, it is better to compare who has gorgeous rhetoric and high literary attainments. What is the use of the elected officials?

Thinking of this, Lu You's mood also darkened.

But at this moment, Rui Lang raised his head instead.

The eyes of the two met in mid-air.Tang Ruilang's frowning brows quickly relaxed.Although unable to speak, he still smiled slightly at Lu You.

Lu You glanced at the direction of the invigilator from the Ministry of Rites, and after confirming that no one was looking, he returned a smile, then turned and left silently.

This Ruihe 32-year palace examination lasted from morning to dusk.After the test, the test papers are still unnamed and packaged, and sent to the examiner for marking.

After two days and one night, out of the 130 test papers, ten of the best ones were presented to the imperial court, and Emperor Huiming would personally select three of them as the top three.

The test papers were sent to Penglai Pavilion, and Lu You opened and read them one by one for Emperor Huiming.

There are many good sentences in cadences and catchy sentences in the essays of Yalike.However, Lu You only saw flattering words in front of his eyes, and felt disgusted in his heart; but when he read one of them, he concentrated his attention, and even read it and looked into it, almost forgetting the serious business.

After listening, Emperor Huiming stroked his beard and said, "Do you like this too?"

Lu You said respectfully: "I just feel that apart from the rhetoric, this policy article is more meaningful and thought-provoking. It's a lingering fragrance after reading it."

"What a lingering fragrance." Emperor Huiming also nodded and said: "Then, I will make this one the number one scholar."

Said, and asked the examiner at the side: "Who did this?"

The examiner stepped forward and opened the seal, and presented it to the imperial court again.Emperor Huiming lowered his eyes and immediately burst out laughing.

"It turned out to be this child... I really didn't misunderstand him. However, he is also considered to be an in-law of the clan, and his father is an official in the court, so he will be demoted to the third place. Give him a job as a prostitute, and we will take care of him in the future." It just needs to be cultivated.”
