Several people agreed. But then Xia Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, are these two Chinese-style candidates from the vassal country included in the quota for Shandong and Yunnan?"
Yunxi was stunned for a moment and said: "No need. Chinese people from the vassal state are not included in the existing one hundred tribute quotas, and two more quotas will be added."
"In the future, it will also be established as a rule that Ying Fan Kingdom and Min Fan Kingdom will be calculated separately, and each country will have one quota. In two years' time, I will also tell King Song, King Su, King Yong, King Pu, King Qin and other feudal vassals to hold separate provincial examinations. Give at least one tribute quota."
"And those foreign students, are there any foreign students coming to take part in the scientific examination this year?"
"Your Majesty, no one from outside the country participated in the examination, but three people from the Ryukyu Kingdom were admitted to the Imperial College. At that time, the Ministry of Rites reported to your Majesty, and your Majesty also approved it," Chen Di said.
Yunxi also remembered this matter and murmured to himself: "If I had thought of it earlier, I would have let these Ryukyu people take the exam this time."
After a pause, Yunxi said: "That's it. You go down and announce it on a day. Xia Yuanji stays."
Everyone agreed and bowed down. Xia Yuanji stayed and waited for Yunxi's order.
Yunxi ordered: "Draft an edict and order each country to follow the example of the Ming Dynasty and set up three-level examinations: government examination, hospital examination, and rural examination. Those who pass the Fanguo government examination will be similar to the Ming Dynasty children; those who pass the Fanguo academy examination will be similar to the Ming students. Scholars of the Ming Dynasty; those who passed the provincial examination of Fanguo are similar to those who were elected in the Ming Dynasty."
"Also, people from the Fan Kingdom are allowed to participate in the Ming Dynasty examination. The Ming Dynasty will treat them as one, without any partiality. If those who pass the Ming Dynasty Jinshi are willing to stay in the Ming Dynasty and serve as officials, they will be appointed as officials together; those who are willing to return to the Fan Kingdom will be left to their own devices. "
"The Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty allowed military generals from foreign countries to take the exams. The rules are the same as those for the military generals of the Ming Dynasty. There is no favoritism. After graduation, they will be treated the same as the imperial examinations."
Yunxi decided to use talents to bring various countries closer to the Ming Dynasty. Although the effect is hard to say, it is better than doing nothing. Besides, this is also in line with the ideas of Confucian scholars, and there will be no obstacles.
Xia Yuanji drafted the edict, Yunxi read it and issued it, and Xia Yuanji also withdrew.
After they retreated, Yunxi stood up, relaxed his legs, and walked towards Kunning Palace.
But walking halfway, Yunxi was still thinking: 'The general examination has been decided, but the palace examination will be held in a few days. That's fine, but now I am still difficult to decide between the two examination questions. These two Which question should I test? You can't test two questions. It's really nerve-wracking.'
'Forget it, it's too late now, let's think about it tomorrow.'

…
The next day was the day when the results were released. Early in the morning, before dawn, many restless candidates and people who relied on the announcement of the good news to get a few rewards came to the gate of Gongyuan.
Hu Guang and his group also came. Hu Guang didn't want to come. He expected that even if he could try to discuss the topic, 99% of the candidates would not be able to figure it out. He was also arrogant and thought that he would definitely win the tribute. I don’t want to see the list.
Although Wang Gen and Jin Shan were a little nervous, they didn't think it was useful to look at the list, so they didn't want to look at it at first. However, Li Guan was very nervous and eagerly urged them to look at the list. A few of them didn't want to wipe it out. In order to save my friend's face, I came together.
While waiting, Li Guan was nervous and at a loss. Maybe it was because of the cold weather. He kept walking around without paying attention to the road ahead, and bumped into people from time to time. Fortunately, he wanted to rely on the reward for reporting the news. People don't dare to offend these juren, and they can only say a few weird words; other juren won't argue with him, so it's okay.
Hu Guang leaned against the wall again. Seeing how nervous Li Guan was, he said, "Brother Harada, the test papers have been judged and the rankings have been arranged. It's useless for you to be so nervous."
After listening to Hu Guang's words, Li Guan said: "I know this too, but I just can't control my nervousness."
Although Jin Shan did not speak, the expression on his face clearly agreed with Li Guan's words. He was not too nervous when he was at the inn, but when he came to the gate of Gongyuan, he saw one after another with nervous expressions on their faces, as if
It seemed as if he was also infected, and he couldn't help but become nervous.
Hu Guang was about to say something again, when suddenly a cry came from the outermost edge of the crowd: "The people who released the list are here!" Then he saw the crowd splitting on both sides like sea water split by a sailboat. Behind them
On the separate road, a dozen soldiers holding imperial lists walked in.
Countless people looked at the imperial list in the hands of these people, and some of them seemed to want to snatch the imperial list from the hands of the soldiers. But of course no one took action in the end.
Under so many gazes, several young soldiers seemed a little nervous, but several veterans were very calm and did not care at all about their gazes.
The group of people walked to the Gongyuan where the results were released, and a few young soldiers formed a group outside to prevent the people from rushing over.
Several veterans posted the imperial notice very quickly, probably because they were afraid that they would be trampled to death. After posting the imperial notice, they quickly squeezed a path out of the crowd and rushed out.
But at this time, who still cares about those who released the report? Everyone rushed forward with all their strength, especially those who reported the news, who rushed forward headlong.
Hu Guang's name was at the top of the imperial list, which was very eye-catching. When Wang Gen saw Hu Guang's name, he immediately congratulated: "Brother Guang, I'm so happy!" The other governors from the same province in Changxi also gathered around and congratulated him.
Hu Guang was also quite happy, but although he was crazy with joy in his heart, he pretended to be calm on his face.
Later, when they saw Wang Gen ranked fifth and Jin Shan ranked ninth, everyone congratulated them one after another; someone else said: "In this subject, three of the top ten in Jiangxi are ranked. When it comes to the prosperity of writing style, Jiangsu and Zhejiang cannot compare with our Jiangxi."
West!"
At this time, Li Guan finally saw his name, ranked 76th. Li Guan exhaled first, glad that he had passed the Gongshi exam, and Hu Guang and others also congratulated him.
But an unspeakable feeling immediately arose in his heart: 'I am only ranked 76th, and I won't be able to get into the top few in the palace examination at this rate. It is obvious that my ranking in the provincial examination was still higher than theirs before!'
But no matter what, he couldn't say what he was thinking, so he forced a smile and went to celebrate with a few other people who had won the tribute.
…
…
Yang Zirong saw that he was only ranked ninety-sixth, and said incredulously: "How is it possible! My scriptures and meanings are perfect, and my strategies will definitely surprise His Majesty. How can I only be ranked ninety-sixth!"
His friend Li Chao thought that he was so rude because he was ranked lower than him, and comforted him: "With your ability, you will definitely be able to pass the Sanding A in the palace examination. This time, the examiner will be blind."
Eye-catching."
Yang Zirong had to give face to his friend and forced a smile. But the doubt in his heart was still: 'Why did your Majesty just let me be ranked ninety-sixth?'
