"Your Majesty, this is against the rules."


    "The process of the palace examination is that the examiners pick up the top three qualified examination papers among their examination papers and submit them to your majesty for decision."


    "It would be unfair if your majesty selected a single test paper and didn''t let the ministers evaluate it first."


    "No, if you can get the grade after the review, can you deliver it to your Majesty''s desk?"


    Hearing Di Renjie say so, Emperor Wu was stunned. Her hand trembled when she was about to get Gu Zheng''s test paper. She put Gu Zheng''s test paper down and said only one sentence: "good."


    Waving his hand, he asked the officials to send Gu Zheng''s test paper directly to di Renjie.


    Let you old people see first. Anyway, Gu Zheng is your disciple. In the end, he must be sent to my case.


    Wu Huang, who was no longer talkative, began to close his eyes in front of us.


    The efficiency of the eight examiners is indeed extraordinary.


    It was supposed to take half a day to read the test paper, but it was highly efficient by all adults. It took only half of the time to read all the test papers.


    Among them, there are only two amazing papers, and for these two articles, it is rare that the civil service group is divided into two factions for this purpose.


    One is Zhang Yizhi''s, needless to say, the test question stolen by the Emperor Wu asked someone to make a special response. This article that only needs to be copied is naturally gorgeous in rhetoric, natural and unrestrained in style, with the smooth and mellow officialdom.


    The answer of these game theories is like playing Tai Chi, which is very satisfactory.


    The other is naturally Gu Zheng''s. This boy can''t say that he wrote badly, but that he was really good. He spoke harshly and pointed directly at the disadvantages of the policies of the central government, which can be regarded as saying what many people said in their hearts.


    But even if these are facts, you can''t say it in this place.


    If you dare to put forward these aspects of military system in the imperial court, it is estimated that Gu Zheng will be hit on the ground by the big fist of the people affected in all aspects.


    Today, the boy named Gu Zheng wrote very cleverly at this time, which can be seen by his majesty without causing a great uproar in the court.


    It''s really the best time to throw an idea out.


    However, Gu Zheng is really brave. He is not afraid that the examiner''s dislike for this style of writing will affect his final ranking?


    You know, he is a man one step away from the title of No. 1 scholar in the Ming classics. Is he going to give up his hand to the boy named Zhang Yizhi?


    Many people who love talents have raised their concerns about Gu Zheng. They even raised their mind that they don''t want his majesty to see this test paper.


    However, when his majesty Wu Huang, sitting at the top, looked at the people below pointing around Gu Zheng''s test paper, he couldn''t bear his anxious heart and asked the internal officer on one side to cut off the test paper.


    "Dear Aiqing, have you ever had a judgment in your heart? If you have that hesitation, don''t take it. Let''s study it together."


    Having said that, without waiting for the ministers to react, they asked the small officials on one side to accept the nearly ten best papers selected by the ministers in front of her.


    Wu Huang didn''t even care about the minister''s evaluation of Zhang Yizhi. Instead, Gu Zheng, who was buried in the test paper, was the first to be selected.


    After looking at this paper, the emperor''s face was like opening a grocery store, and the change was very interesting.


    At the beginning, Gu Zheng''s praise was Longxin Dayue. A beautiful feeling came naturally.


    But when he saw the old ministers with different thoughts, his majesty Wu pointed to the tray of the top ten selected in front of him and said:


    "In the order of Ming classics, let''s follow my example."


    When the people hurried to take the tray into their hands, all the ministers looked up at his Majesty in surprise, and then rushed to di Renjie to congratulate him. He once again recommended a recognized talent for the imperial court.


    Because Gu Zheng was still the top scholar, they thought that the emperor would rank Gu Zheng in the place of tanhualang because he was too young and his face was too prosperous.


    If so, they''re just like that.


    But who would have thought that Gu Zheng was still the first name, so what was the purpose of his Majesty''s inexplicable palace test?


    No one can guess that the mystery can only be truly understood by the slightly guilty Emperor Wu himself sitting at the top.


    ……


    The next day, the day seemed to dawn quickly.


    Gu Zheng, who is in the courtyard, rarely went to see the list posted at the South Gate of the imperial city.


    He was just quietly in the courtyard, watching crazy Taoist priest cook a pot of good tea with his tea ceremony skills.


    The tea brewing skills of the crazy Taoist school are quite similar to those of the Xiuxian school.


    Let Gu Zheng take a bowl of tea and feel


    One bowl of throat kiss moisten, two bowls of broken lonely stuffy.


    Three bowls of dry intestines, only five thousand words.


    Four bowls of hair light sweat, life injustice, do to the pores.


    Five bowls of muscle and bone clearing, six bowls of fairy spirits.


    I can''t eat seven bowls, but I feel clear in my armpits.


    ……


    In the soul, it seems to be drifting away in the wind.


    Seeing that Gu Zheng was even more leisurely than he, a tea maker, the crazy Taoist priest couldn''t help asking: "are you not worried about your rank? Do you still have the heart to drink tea here now?"


    Only Gu Zheng knows what disease he has committed, and his desire for the client to successfully participate in the imperial examination has been basically completed.


    As for ranking?


    You didn''t agree with me.


    I won the last place with my ability. Why should I be scolded?


    In this way, Gu Zheng welcomed the news of the officials who sang and sent good news outside the door.


    The scene of gongs and drums sounded again in the small courtyard.


    "Congratulations to Mr. Gu. Congratulations to Mr. Gu. Today''s palace examination list is distributed. Congratulations to Mr. Gu on winning the top of the Ming classics again."


    "Now, the little one can respectfully call Lang Jun the number one scholar!"


    There is no straddling horse parade. The flower Exploration Tour in Apricot Garden is over. Just wait for the assessment of the Ministry of officials.


    Therefore, this announcement is very simple. The Jinshi who have obtained the first and second-class evaluation in the list will go to the official department for evaluation after thanking outside the Palace tomorrow.


    First class three, second class six.


    Of the total of 18 in the two lists, only six went to the official position.


    Six out of 100 is still after hard work and winning the Jinshi examination.


    The rest of the staff are made up.


    This is the proportion of officials in the crazy Tang Dynasty, which is very perfect to avoid the huge overstaffing of the official mechanism.


    It''s just that the people at the bottom can''t see hope.


    Gu Zheng took the number one scholar''s papers and distributed money. Naturally, Xiaoman did it.


    He shook his head and threw the document into the draw box in the courtyard, but it attracted a burst of protest from the soul ball in the cinnabar mole.


    "This is the number one ultimatum. How can you be so careless!"


    Gu Zheng shook his head indifferently and communicated with his mind: "these are foreign things. I think the official department test this time is also to hold hands gently. So far, the scientific research between us has been carried out smoothly with talent, and the contract of your ability has been seen by the emperor''s majesty, even if it has been completed?"


    The small ball in cinnabar mole nodded and said, "nature."


    "That''s good. The contract is done. Let''s say goodbye."


    Speaking of this, Gu Zheng wanted to communicate about laughing and forgetting books and going home by himself.


    But unexpectedly, the ventilation system trembled and pointed to the sky twice.


    Seeing this, Gu Zheng asked strangely, "what''s the matter with you? You''re sick again? Just say that your strongest system in history is unreliable?"


    The laughing forgetting book, like a thief, pointed to the sky again, and replied, "it''s over. It''s discovered by one of the great powers in the world."


    Hearing this, Gu Zheng was half afraid. Instead, he said curiously, "what will happen if he is found? Who is the great power?"


    The laughing and forgetting book was appointed to play the scene in the divine knowledge sea to Gu Zheng: as soon as the lens turned, two pairs of big hands secretly chiseled out the space channel of the laughing and forgetting book, one left and one right were blocked.


    A Taoist priest with a long beard and a bun on his head poked out his big face in front of the camera of laughing and forgetting the book.


    There was still some surprise in his mouth and said, "little friend, I''m going back now?"


    "But you haven''t finished what my Taoist school entrusted you?
