Chapter 87 Ask the officials to confirm the topic of this year's palace examination
Chapter 87 Please ask the officials to confirm the questions for this year’s palace examination...
Gao Zhang strode forward in the direction of the palace gate, not far away.
Then I saw Cai Laoliu coming towards this side in a hurry, as if there was a vicious dog chasing behind him.
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"
Seeing Gao Zhang looking at him curiously, Cai Laoliu, who was not happy to be exposed in front of Gao Zhang and was almost beaten by his own father, quickly started talking nonsense.
"I've met Senior Brother Gao. It's okay. I just accidentally encountered a vicious dog and was frightened."
"Sneeze!" A sneeze came from a carriage in the distance.
But it was soon covered up by the noise at the entrance of the palace. Gao Zhang and Cai Laoliu strode forward, and soon merged into the nearly three hundred palace examination tributes.
As the provincial leader who ranked first in the provincial examination, Gao Zhang was placed at the front of the team.
When the hour came, the palace door slowly opened, and as an example for the Gongsheng students, the youngest and shortest Gao Zhang appeared.
"The imperial examinations in our dynasty are prosperous. This year's imperial examinations have even more talented young people. Although they are young, they still have the ambition to manage the world and benefit the people. I am very happy, so I will use young people for the imperial examinations this year..."
Wu Zhizhong, who had just listened very seriously, had to bow respectfully to this fatuous monarch who was usually full of tricks, but today's Dao Palace test questions were very to his liking.
But at the same time, Gao Zhang, his beloved disciple, can take advantage of him a little bit. This is the limit of what he can do.
The officials led him to the front row and sat down. When Gao Zhang raised his head, he could see the steps of Jiying Palace, which were only three steps away from him.
Seeing that the examiner also stood up to support the official, those opponents who originally wanted to babble a few more words could only return to their duties indifferently.
In particular, many tributes who have already gained a reputation in poetry are even more confident today.
It seems that this is the main battlefield for the palace examination, and that's right. Not to mention the Jiying Palace, even the Daqing Palace, the largest palace in the palace, cannot accommodate the three hundred palace examination tributes inside.
There are many sources, but today’s method of formulating the question seems..."
The auspicious moment has arrived, and all the tributes have already begun to enter the palace and are heading towards the Jiying Palace.
In short, everyone is very confident and want to see if Gao Zhang, the provincial leader of Jinke, cannot even enter the top three today, then what about his reputation as a prodigy of the Song Dynasty, haha...
A group of tributes behind him looked at this Imagination Shogen, and their fighting spirit was burning brightly at this moment.
Wu Zhizhong on the side was really impatient to wait. At this time, a eunuch quickly entered the palace to report.
Wu Zhizhong couldn't hold himself back, stood up, and reminded Zhao Ji loudly, who was holding a pen and thinking deeply.
Give him some hints in advance. With his talents and extraordinary talents, he might really be able to create another miracle.
This is also the reason why it is necessary to rush to the whole palace examination not long after the imperial examination and provincial examination in the spring.
"Wu Aiqing, don't worry, I already have it." As he spoke, an idea flashed in Zhao Ji's mind and he put his pen on the paper.
At this moment, he was holding an imperial pen and looking at the red rice paper in front of him, thoughtfully.
As for the crane, what it cares about is the destination beyond the sky where it is about to fly.
This has already caused an uproar in the world, not to mention that the poet and calligrapher Yuan Xiangong is three years older than this boy.
It might affect the performance of the tributes, and it might be that some tributes who don't have the strength to tie a chicken will just suffer from heat stroke.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs and there are no regrets.
At this moment, Zhao Ji felt a little regret in his heart, if he had gone to see Gao Zhang at that time.
Are you still willing to lower your head, look at a bunch of fat poultry, and call them brothers?
Just as the tributes were filing in, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was already sitting in Jiying Hall.
At that time, Duke Xiang of Yuan Dynasty fought tooth and nail to carve out a bloody path in the Jinshi Science and Technology Provincial Examination. After that, he worked hard in the palace examination, but could only get one Jinshi.
Let this kid understand that if you can save money with two very talented consultants, that's your limit.
"I believe that the title of this poem is very appropriate and fits well with the current situation of modern science."
Listening to what the officials said, the faces of all the officials present turned dark.
"The official family, I feel, may be a little inappropriate. After all, it has been the name given to poems and poems since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
For no other reason than to be able to compete with this yellow-mouthed boy in the palace examination.
"Ai Qing is the examiner for this year's palace examination. I wonder what Ai Qing thinks?"
Fortunately, the weather is cloudy today and it is still early. Otherwise, the harsh sun would have lasted longer.
After all, since both the examiner and the officials agree, if they object again, they might annoy the officials and make them care about them, so why bother?
#####
Gao Zhang finally came to the square in front of the Jiying Palace with a group of tributes. From a distance, he saw the three hundred tables covering the entire square.
"I think this question in the official family is very new. After all, it has been around since Emperor Taizu.
Zhao Ji put away his pen, looked at Wu Zhizhong, who was standing in front of the imperial case, and asked the examiner who was still in charge of the palace examination with a pleasant look.
The most important thing now is to come up with a topic that all the tributes think at least seems reasonable.
The palace examination in front of us is a truly bloody battlefield.
Just under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, head held high and chest held high, strode straight in...
While writing, he spoke loudly.
#####
Sensing the ill-intentioned glances of the Gongsheng students around him, Gao Zhang didn't take it seriously.
After all, when things like standing out from the flock of chickens happen, it must be the chickens who are envious, jealous, and hateful.
"I would also like to ask the officials to quickly determine the questions for this year's palace examination, so I can wait until the tributes arrive at the examination room and read them out."
It's a pity that at that time, I was so excited that I always thought that this kid could win the provincial prize. In addition, in my dream, I saw him win the first prize in one fell swoop and be selected as the number one pick.
So much so that after letting his blood rush to his brain, he didn't even consider that he was still a child.
Although most of the titles of poems and poems in the palace examinations come from classics, there are also poems and poems composed by the former emperors themselves."
This palace examination is based on poems and poems. You are a boy who has only been enlightened for three years. I am afraid that you have not even read the Four Books and Five Classics, so how can you have the time to engage in literary creation?
Not to mention that I don’t know how many times I walked back and forth to Goulan Pavilion, which was the source of inspiration for poets and poets.
Unlike the old gentlemen here who have been studying for many years, they have read countless famous poems and poems.
Anyway, that's what Gao Zhang thought, just as he was sitting in front of the desk and thinking wildly.
Then he saw an acquaintance appear on the steps. It was Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who had promoted him to the position of provincial governor.
Wu Zhizhong glanced at the group of tribute soldiers, and at a glance he saw Gao Zhang sitting under the steps, looking at him curiously.
After Wu Zhizhong raised the corner of his mouth slightly, he cleared his throat, spread out the red paper with the official pen, and began to recite the questions of the Jinke Imperial Examination loudly...
