you are unspeakable

Dachang, ten years of Mingde, imperial examination.

Emperor Mingde, who had been enthroned for ten years, was sitting on the dragon chair, his phoenix pupils under the crown were slightly narrowed, he wandered around the hall at will, and then looked away. The servant Zhong Sheng looked at the Lord Long Live, and he knew that he was interested in this time. Not interested in the imperial examination, he quietly walked forward, bowed and whispered to Emperor Mingde: "Your Majesty, this servant met Mr. Liu on the way back to the palace today, and chatted with him for a while. The results of the written test are out, and several of the generals’ sons are very good at military strategy, and they are waiting for the final palace test to pick a few good ones to present to His Majesty in person.”

After hearing this, Emperor Mingde nodded slightly: "Is that so? You are always well-informed," he said with a sideways glance at Zhong Sheng, and said with a smile, "I'm still arguing with you. Come on, is it because Liu Shibang is pulling you again and saying that you are being restrained?" gone?"

Zhong Sheng laughed twice, held Emperor Mingde in his arms and said: "Your Majesty still understands slaves, how can slaves understand military strategy, slaves tremble in their calves when they see swords, but Master Liu always cherishes talents, so he pulls The slave said a lot, saying that Qu Lin, the son of Du Du’s family, Gu Ji, the son of General Gu’s family in Zhenbei, and Song Cui, the concubine of Song Taiwei’s family, all wrote well, especially Mr. Song, who wrote well.”

"How come everyone in the next family is a concubine, and when you come to Song Taiwei, you become a concubine. Song Cui... this name sounds familiar to you, and I have never heard the Taiwei mention it." Emperor Mingde came with a little interest: "Wu Zhuangyuan The election was set up after I ascended the throne, and the Communist Party has only done it a few times. If you want to recommend an official, the list must first be submitted to the Ministry of War for review and verification. What a strange thing."

"This..." Zhong Sheng looked embarrassed: "I don't know much about it, I only heard that this Song Cui was admitted step by step from Linzi County, and he didn't occupy the place of the Taiwei's family."

"I remember when you said that," Emperor Mingde said with a smile: "When I was still the crown prince, I heard that the Taiwei's house was not in harmony. I think this Song Cuying is not a favored son, which is a bit interesting. Wait for me to see." After finishing the palace examination essays, go to Liu Shibang and get the essays written by the few people just now."

Zhong Sheng repeatedly said yes.

Zhong Sheng chatted with Emperor Mingde for a while, and the palace test was over.

Just a prophecy гаыэ

Before Emperor Mingde came to the throne, the Dachang Dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs, and the imperial examinations were the top priority every year, especially the imperial examinations, where papers were answered one day, reviewed the next day, and published the next day.When Emperor Mingde came to the throne, he put more emphasis on martial arts than literature. Not only did he set up the military imperial examinations, but he also changed the palace examination, which could only be ranked in three days, into half-day answer papers, half-day review papers, and evening rankings.

At the beginning, when Emperor Mingde proposed reforming the imperial examinations, he was just a 20-year-old new emperor who had just ascended the throne. All the ministers objected, but Emperor Mingde resorted to decisive measures, and the civil servants who were the loudest objectors were accused within seven days. In the short period of half a month, he was taken off the black hat one after another for his family's corruption of ink, and what's more, he was copied and executed all over the family.Since then, there has been a lot of turmoil in the court, and no one dares to refute the new emperor's face easily.

Now that Emperor Mingde has been on the throne for ten years, the 28-year-old young emperor is in his heyday when he is in power and unambiguous.

After lunch, he went back to the inner court to deal with some government affairs. In the evening, he went back to the main hall to read the several articles presented. Emperor Mingde looked normal after reading it, and picked out two of them that were a little bit passable and put them on the top. The examiner and promotion officer of the imperial examination came close to him and tapped his finger on the examination paper: "What I want is to tell the truth, talk about practical affairs, and have articles with practical knowledge, not flattery and rhetoric. If a literati has Great talents, no matter what kind of poems and songs are, they can be famous all over the world and become everyone, but being an official in the court is different from writing poems. It’s okay to repair books and make up books.”

The probation officer and the transfer officer quickly knelt down, looking terrified: "Your Majesty is right."

"Get up," Emperor Mingde waved his hand, and said, "I'm not saying that the articles you selected are not good. I've read all ten of them, but I'm just a little disappointed. Seeing what really makes me feel good, there are not a few people who flatter and flatter me. If things go on like this, how can Dachang be proud? That's all, the above two copies will be the number one winner this time, and the rest will be determined in order , I’m tired, you can watch what’s next.”

After returning to Changle Palace, Emperor Mingde, who said he was tired, picked up the papers of the martial arts examination and read them carefully. After reading four or five papers in one breath, Emperor Mingde had a smile on his face, and said he was most satisfied. Na Fen smiled at Zhong Sheng: "Look at this Song Cui, at such a young age, there is arrogance and domineering that cannot be concealed between the lines, as if if I give him an army, he can destroy Changting in the north and Shuhai in the south. Haha, what a young man!"

Seeing that Emperor Mingde was happy, Zhong Sheng became happy himself, and then boasted: "Since His Majesty likes this Young Master Song so much, it seems that Lord Liu has a really good vision."

"It was also Song Cui who bumped into Liu Shibang's hand. If someone saw this test paper cautiously, he would not dare to present it to me." Emperor Mingde laughed: "Go, call Liu Shibang here."

When lighting the lamp, Master Liu Shibang hurried into the palace and chatted with Emperor Mingde for several hours, most of the time was talking about this Song reminder.
