"Speaking of this, I have always been curious," Li Baolu sat cross-legged across from him and said, "It is said that Tongjinshi are like wives, but they also worked so hard to pass the test all the way from Tongsheng, and each session only takes more than 300 Jinshi. Their grades are only slightly lower than the previous second-class jinshi, why do you look down on them so much and compare them to Mrs. Ru?"

The    township exam is much more rigorous than the college entrance examination in the previous life. Especially for the exam, there are only more than 300 people in the whole country every three years, and when the shortage of officials is the worst, the number of scholars will not exceed 500.

  There are so many scholars in the country who can make it all the way to the top 500. It can be seen how powerful these scholars are, but they are only one difference. The treatment of the same jinshi and the second-class jinshi is very different.

In the    exam, except for the essay questions of the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" exam, there is no fixed answer at all. The examiners will definitely have personal preferences when grading the papers, so Li Baolu feels a little wrong with the jinshi.

   Gu Jingyun had never thought about this question. He lowered his head and thought about it, then shook his head and said, "There has been such a saying since ancient times, but I really don't know when it started. Maybe I can check it when I go back."

"Didn't senior brother anticipate this before the test, and there is nothing wrong with being a jinshi. When the time comes, senior brother can go outside, the sky is high and the earth is wide, and there are opportunities to show it. It is better than staying in the capital, staying in this square inch of land. Being stared at."

   Gu Jingyun pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "It's reasonable, don't you want to stay in this square?"

   "Yeah, but it's not easy for us to go. Let's go out to play when Uncle and the others come back."

   "Where do you want to play?"

"I want to go anywhere. I heard that there is an endless desert in the far north. The sand there is scalding hot during the day, but at night the temperature can freeze people to death. If people don't have enough clothes to keep out the cold, they can dig a hole and use sand to cover them. If you bury it yourself, you can keep your body temperature and not freeze to death."

"Sounds interesting," Gu Jingyun tilted his head and said, "Then I'll take you when uncle comes back, and go to the prairie by the way. Haven't you always wanted to eat a whole leaning yellow sheep? Smear it with honey , roasted to a golden brown..."

  Li Baolu took a sip and said expectantly, "You should take the exam for the champion, and then help your uncle to rehabilitate. I'm so hungry."

   Gu Jingyun laughed out loud when he saw her greedy expression.

  Gu Jingyun is Huiyuan and Jieyuan. Most people guess that he will definitely be the number one scholar.

   Actually, the emperor thought so too.

   But the palace exam was held under the watchful eyes of the public. Besides the emperor, there were also ministers present, so if Gu Jingyun was too bad, the emperor would be embarrassed to appoint him as the champion.

   However, it turned out that Gu Jingyun was very good. The other candidates were excited when they saw the emperor. He didn't even have a mood change, and he sat down in his seat, ignoring everyone's attention.

   Lord Gu stood in the middle of the ministers and looked at Gu Jingyun with complicated eyes.

  Gu Lekang did not participate in this general examination, and naturally he would not participate in the palace examination.

   Affected by various things at home, this child is emotionally unstable. Although he studies at night, neither Gu Huaijin nor Gu Houye want him to take risks at this time. What if he gets the Tongjinshi exam?

   That is a major event that affects the future.

   And this year, none of the Gu family’s children who participated in the exam passed the general exam, only Gu Jingyun.

   Lord Gu withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes. He is still his grandson, but he is no longer his bloodline.

   He is his own patriarch.

  The emperor was also looking at Gu Jingyun. Many people were looking at Gu Jingyun. They were all amazed in their hearts. It turned out that this was Qin Xinfang's nephew.

   Unlike the Gu family, it is naturally like the Qin family. Sure enough, who raised it looked like who.

When the test papers were released, Gu Jingyun answered the questions with a serious heart. Wei Cong, who was sitting at the back, pouted and soaked the frozen brush with water. Then he began to grind the ink. I'm targeting him, otherwise he is two hundred and one, how come this seat is lined up outside the hall?

   Not to mention the cold wind blowing, even the cushions are thin, sitting on one buttocks, the cold air on the ground kept rising.

   This time is even better. Even the officially prepared pens are frozen. He has never heard of new pens that can be frozen.

   But the emperor wanted to be angry with him, but he was not angry.

   When Wei Cong turned the pen away, he had already made a draft in his heart, and he wrote it in a dazzling manner. Hmph, let you underestimate the master, and let you see the ability of the master.

   But no matter how fast Wei Cong was, he was not as fast as Gu Jingyun. He just put down the pen before he started to half a column of incense, picked up the test paper and checked it, then dried the ink and handed in the paper!

   The person who sat next to him and answered the questionnaire immediately tense his nerves and wailed in his heart, do you want to be so fast, is this going to kill people?

  The corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth twitched, he didn't hide his arrogance at all, and handed it over directly.

The    palace exam is to hand in a paper and then review one, and the examiners in the row beside the emperor are all waiting.

  The results of the palace test are also released on the same day, so there is no possibility of cheating.

   Gu Jingyun's exam paper was handed over to the emperor for review first, and the emperor handed it over to the examiner with complicated colors after reading it, without expressing his opinion.

   The examiner just read the question part and couldn't help touching his beard and exclaimed, "Okay!"

   made the students below and the officials in the hall even more nervous.

   They also have juniors taking exams below.

   This year's meeting was about water conservancy, but the palace examination was about taxation.

   This is a sharp question, and one is not good to get caught in a melee.

   But if the candidates are as clueless as the muddy, what is the emperor using you for?

   So after getting the title, everyone was thinking about how to be meaningful without being extreme.

   But Gu Jingyun's concerns are obviously much less. His answer is to be more euphemistic, or to be more direct, and the central idea will generally not change.

   So the emperor was very complicated, he seemed to see Qin Xinfang back then.

   Qin Xinfang's palace examination papers were also reviewed by him. Qin Xinfang did the same back then. He was full of confidence and submitted papers ahead of time.

   At that time, he was grateful for the assistance and teaching of the Taifu, and secondly, he really admired Qin Xinfang's talent, so he was named the champion by the palace.

   And now, Gu Jingyun's talent is more prosperous than Qin Xinfang, but he is old and does not want to see his courtiers so radical, but at this time there is no better candidate than Gu Jingyun.

  The exam papers were collected one after another, but the examiners only held Gu Jingyun's exam papers and communicated in a low voice, and finally put his exam papers aside and tried others first.

The candidates under    were even more nervous when they saw this, and they didn't know whether Gu Jingyun's papers were good or not.

  Wei Cong also handed in the papers ahead of time, and the invigilator collected his papers. The emperor, who had not spoken, suddenly pointed at him and said, "Bring it to me to see."

   The invigilator was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took the exam paper to the emperor.

  Unknown candidates and officials glanced at Wei Cong with envy and hatred, while candidates and officials who knew the inside story twitched the corners of their mouths, bowed their heads strangely, and secretly aimed at the emperor from the corner of their eyes.

  Gu Jingyun, who was sitting in the middle of the first row, also narrowed his eyes. The emperor was more careful than he thought, so why was he the only one so tolerant towards him?

   Really just reminiscing about the old love of the Qin family?

  The emperor carefully read Wei Cong's test paper, and finally pouted and threw it aside, "It's just a shit, so the last name is the last name."

   The chief examiner glanced at the emperor helplessly, and then glanced at the exam paper that had been put away by Director Su, and knew that this exam paper would not be read to them again.

  The emperor said that Wei Cong's exam paper can get two or three hundred at most, so he arranged it to be two hundred and one, which happened to be in the top three.

   This time, I wanted Wei Cong to keep this ranking. Although he would be named the same jin shi, he was only one rank behind the second-class jin shi, which was not too bad.

   Who knew that the emperor had such a small mind, and he directly named Wei Cong's last name, which could be called the most blatant cheating.

Everyone looked at Wei Cong with sympathy for an instant, but Wei Cong didn't mind at all. Back then, when he dared to go to the gate of the palace to scold him, he thought about it, as long as he didn't get involved with his junior and senior brothers. What's the difference between the first and last?

   He stared at it with great interest, wondering if the junior and junior brothers could be awarded the first prize, the third and the third, something that even the teacher could not do.

   As expected of the students taught by the teacher himself, he is amazing.

   The bell rang, and a ritual official sang loudly: "The hour is up, stop writing _"

   All the students stopped writing, the invigilator went to collect the exam papers and handed them over to the examiner for marking, while a group of waiters filed in with food boxes to deliver meals to all the candidates and officials.

The    emperor also had a share.

   This is the emperor's gift of food. Everyone knelt down and expressed gratitude. They got up when they heard the ceremony officer sing "Get up", and then everyone picked up their chopsticks with gratitude and waited for the meal.

  Gu Jingyun touched his rice bowl and stared at the frozen oil on the plate. He had never eaten such a cold thing even when he was traveling.

   He hesitated for a while, and seeing that everyone was eating with relish, he reluctantly grabbed the rice, but the dishes on the table didn't move a single chopstick.

  The emperor saw the chopsticks in his hand and pointed to the tofu on his table to Mr. Su: "Send a plate to the future champion."

   Everyone froze and looked up.

   Director Su hurriedly smiled and brought the tofu in front of the emperor to Gu Jingyun's table.

  Gu Jingyun got up helplessly and thanked him.

  The emperor said with a sullen face: "Why, do you not like the dishes that I gave you, or do you not like me ordering you to be the champion?"

   "The minister is too late to be grateful, so why don't you like it? It's just that the minister did not expect that His Majesty would directly appoint the minister as the champion." After all, the test paper has not been read yet.

"Your test paper is very good, no one can surpass you at present, and I don't think anyone can surpass you, it will be a matter of time to appoint you as the champion," the emperor said: "But I want to know the first time since the founding of this dynasty. What kind of official does a Sanyuan Jidi want?"

  All the candidates and officials looked at the emperor with bewildered expressions, Your Majesty, you are progressing too fast, didn't you walk across the street first, attend the palace banquet and then go to the official after you named the champion?

  Why so fast?
