However, don't think that everything will be fine after passing the imperial examination. As long as Gu Chengyu enters the court, he will know the cruelty of court battles. For things like Wan Xuenian, he can only blame him for being careless and in his heart
He snorted coldly and looked elsewhere.
By the time the sun went down, Gu Chengyu had already finished copying the examination papers, and the emperor had already left Baohe Hall.
The emperor had been hanging around Gu Chengyu for a long time, and all the candidates behind him knew it. They all secretly envied Gu Chengyu for receiving so much attention. Min Feng became much calmer after Xia Qingxun talked to him last time.
Although he knew that the emperor was very satisfied with Gu Chengyu's answer sheet, he was not discouraged and just concentrated on writing the answer sheet in his hand.
Gu Chengyu estimated that it was half an hour before Unity Time. At this moment, no Gong students had submitted their papers. Gu Chengyu carefully read the paper from top to bottom and found that there were no typos or omissions, so he planned to hand it in in advance.
In fact, it’s the same whether you check or not. You can’t change a typo if you find it. This is just to make sure you know what you are doing.
As soon as Gu Chengyu got up, an official from the Ministry of Rites came up to seal Gu Chengyu's examination paper. He folded the first page of the examination paper into a tube, sealed it and stamped it with a security seal. Then he stamped the Ministry of Rites stamp on the other pages, back and seams.
chapter.
Gu Chengyu watched the examination papers being taken away. At this point, he finally ended the palace examination and also ended his imperial examination life. Gu Chengyu was not too worried about the results of the examination. After all, he was a Hui Yuan. Not to mention the top scholar, he should definitely be ranked first.
of.
Gu Chengyu followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the outside of the palace, and then a chamberlain took Gu Chengyu to the palace gate. Since the palace examination had been completed and he was not allowed to stay in the palace, Gu Chengyu could only wait for Ye Zhiqiu at the palace gate.
The marking day is tomorrow. After the results of the palace examination are filled in, the emperor will hold a passing ceremony in the Hall of Supreme Harmony on the second day to announce the results of the palace examination.
Ming Mo sat on the shaft of the carriage, looking at the palace gate, waiting anxiously. His young master had been to the palace since the morning, but he hadn't come out yet, and he didn't know how he had done in the exam. Although he had confidence in the young master,
But this is a palace examination, so I can't help but be nervous.
Until now, not a single Gongsheng student has left the palace, and the sun is almost setting. Ming Mo glanced at the sky and saw that the setting sun had already hung in the west, and the surrounding sunset dyed the western sky crimson.
Just when Ming Mo was worried, Gu Chengyu slowly walked from the palace gate. Ming Mo quickly jumped off the carriage and went to greet him.
"Young Master!" Ming Mo quickly stepped forward and saluted the Young Master. Just as he was about to ask about the exam, Gu Chengyu waved to him, indicating that he should get on the carriage first.
Ye Zhiqiu and Gu Chengyu were riding in the same carriage. Ye Zhiqiu had not finished the exam yet, so Gu Chengyu planned to wait for him in the carriage. After climbing onto the carriage, Gu Chengyu calmed down a little.
Although he comforted Ye Zhiqiu when he first entered the palace in the morning, how could he not be nervous? He just didn't show it! I hope Ye Zhiqiu can perform at his usual level. I'm afraid Yijia is a little nervous.
The difficulty level is at the top of the second level, so there are still some opportunities.
After another half an hour, when the sunset on the horizon turned pink, Gongsheng appeared one after another at the entrance of the palace. Mingmo noticed with sharp eyes that Ye Zhiqiu was among them.
"Young Master Ye! Here." At this moment, there were many carriages coming to pick up the tribute students at the palace gate. Ye Zhiqiu walked out of the palace gate and looked outside. Before he could look for Gu's carriage, he heard Ming Mo
shouted, and then he walked quickly towards the carriage.
When Ye Zhiqiu climbed onto the carriage and saw Gu Chengyu sitting in the carriage, he quickly asked about the imperial examination.
"Chengyu, this time the policy questions were quite difficult. Although I struggled to answer them, I got them all right. I just don't know if I can get a good ranking. Your policy questions have always been praised by the doctors of the Imperial College.
The question this time is not difficult for you, right?"
Gu Chengyu smiled and said, "It's not a problem to answer them all. However, it's not clear whether it is in line with the wishes of the examiner and the emperor. The exam is over, so don't think too much. You can study at home all day long.
.I asked you to go out for an outing, but you refused. You should be able to take care of yourself tomorrow, right?"
Ye Zhiqiu was still a little worried, fearing that he would not get good results in the imperial examination.
"The results haven't come out yet, so how can I think about going sightseeing? I think I have to wait until the results of the palace examination come out the day after tomorrow before I can rest assured. I'm worried that I will get the same Jinshi exam, which will really make me want to cry.
.”
Gu Chengyu sighed, in fact, who doesn't care about the result? He just wanted to ask Ye Zhiqiu to go outside to relax and relax. Ye Zhiqiu was really tense during this period, getting up at 2:00 every day, and still
If you have to stay up late and read at night, even a strong body can't bear it.
Ye Zhiqiu's complexion was very pale, his lower eyelids were black and blue, and his body bones were much thinner than before. Gu Chengyu was really worried that he would faint at any time.
"It should be noted that you have to relax when studying. Your body is already weak. If I hadn't dragged you around frequently, you would have been carried out during the exam. There is still a great future waiting for you! You have to cherish yourself.
It’s your body that matters.”
Gu Chengyu persuaded him again and made up his mind that when he had the chance, he would drag Ye Zhiqiu to go for morning exercises with him.
Speaking of Ye Zhiqiu's poor health, Gu Chengyu thought of Wang Qikai and others far away in Jingyuan Prefecture. They had not been admitted to the scholar examination three years ago, and they did not know whether they would be able to pass the examination this year.
The last time Wang Qikai wrote to him, he said that his toxicity had been eliminated a long time ago, but he just couldn't lose weight. Gu Chengyu also found it a bit funny. Wang Qikai's food intake had become a habit and it should be difficult to reduce it.
The next day, the emperor ordered eight ministers in the cabinet to serve as reviewers for this palace examination. Each person had a desk and they would review in turn. At this time, there were about 400 people in the palace examination. With so many examination papers to read, it was natural to use the elimination method first.
.
Those with typos, unclear sentences, and untidy papers were put aside first. Most of these candidates were the same as Jinshi.
As the head of the cabinet, the Chief Assistant Xia Qing is naturally the last person to review and determine the ranking. The other seven officials have already started grading the papers. For the palace examination, it is only necessary to name the names and not to change the names. After each grading officer has finished marking the examination paper, he must mark it on the paper.
Put your seal on the back.
If you think the test paper you have read is good, you will draw a circle on it, followed by a triangle, a dot, a line, and a cross, divided into five levels. If the test paper has the most circles, it will be the well-deserved first place.
.
It's just that personal opinions and visions are different. Of course, there will be disputes, which require Xia Qing's decision. Until the top ten are finally selected, they are sent to the emperor for review, and then the emperor finally appoints the top ten.
