The ministers couldn't wait to know who this person was, but they also knew that it was time to mark the papers. For fairness, they used the "fake name system". They were afraid that they would have to wait until all the test papers were reviewed and ranked in order to see the specific name.

But if you line up the people you know, you can have the same writing style as the "Baowu Zhibao", and the candidate seems to be...

"Your Majesty, this year's test papers have been revised. Will they be submitted according to the rules of previous years?"

The so-called rules in previous years were to select the candidates from the A and B lists and arrange a rough ranking for Emperor Mingguang to refer to.

How to arrange it in the end needs to be determined by Emperor Mingguang.

Of course, only the top twenty are listed and the order is not determined, and the order is determined by Emperor Mingguang.

"Come on."

Emperor Mingguang was very curious. Who is the top 20 this year?

In a short while, he saw the list.

Most of the names look very familiar, especially the names of Yao Anhong and Huo Botao, who are so familiar that they can't be more familiar.

Before the exam, Li Wenchong had a chat with him and said that he had two people who ended up in his family.

Unexpectedly, I was not particularly outstanding in the imperial examination, but I performed so well in the palace examination?!

Emperor Mingguang smiled.

It seems that the emperor's brother is "double happiness".

Emperor Mingguang not only didn't mind, but was happy that Li Wenchong had two talents and could take care of him in the future.

Obviously, Emperor Mingguang forgot that although Huo Botao was Li Wenchong's "grandson-in-law", he was even more nephew of Prince Cheng. Don't forget that Prince Cheng's concubine came from the Huo family in the capital.

In order not to show any strangeness in front of the ministers in the court, Emperor Mingguang did not rush to pick up the articles of the two of them to read, but read them one by one according to their arrangement.

"Not bad!"

"There are many outstanding candidates this year. They are practical and put into practice. Unlike in previous years... I have been talking for a long time and I always feel that something is missing."

It’s not that it’s really bad, but that compared with the gorgeous words “high-end” in previous years, more candidates who “speak in meaning” and put them into practice this year have been produced.

Of course, they were able to do this because they read the "Baowu Zhibao" and studied the "Da Ming Daily" and controlled the political direction of the Ming Dynasty better.

Unlike in previous years, it is difficult to be outstanding in other places where there are unknown places except for the noble sons of the tribe trained by the large family and the students taught by famous teachers of Dashan Academy.

The imperial examinations in the court were not better than anyone else's articles. In addition to being able to write articles, the contents should also have something. They should not be "fake and empty", and they look like castles in the air at first glance.

Just like the style of "Baowu Zhibao", starting from reality and falling into the specific event itself, there is a real place to settle down, which is closer to the lives of the people.

Only by being down-to-earth can you do practical things and seek benefits for the people.

This is the official in the court that Emperor Mingguang really wants.

But there was no way. In previous years, there was no "Da Ming Daily" and "Bowu Zhibao". There were no newspapers that introduced the customs and customs of various places and local current affairs. There were only poetry and etiquette, and they wrote the "words of saints" for thousands of years in the book.

The words of a saint are thinking and behavioral codes, which can subtly influence a person.

but……

Can that thing be eaten as a meal?

Can it be put into practice and solve the people's food problems?

The family has a deep charm and famous teachers from Dashan Academy appear, giving their "students" more chance to get closer to the thoughts of saints, and have a better chance to understand the lives of the people, know what the "government" looks like, and how to do it.

However, if the family is not in good condition or can only go to some bad academies to study, it is difficult for them to get into these things. It is a problem that has existed since ancient times when it is difficult for poor families to have noble children.

When the material is not abundant enough, the human spiritual world will also be scarce.

If you can’t even eat enough, who will pursue the spiritual world and go to study?

When people at that time studied, they only wanted to be a disciple of the world and to glorify their ancestors.

Without the guidance of famous teachers, the place they see is only so big and the mountain they climb is only so high. How can they be required to do the words of saints and do the work of saints, "establish a life for the people, establish a mind for the heaven and earth, inherit the unique knowledge for the past saints, and open peace for all ages"?

Otherwise, no matter how good the slogan is, it will be just a castle in the sky, flowers in the mirror, and moon in the water, which can be seen and invisible.

Before, Emperor Mingguang only felt that newspapers could not be put on the table and were used to achieve certain ulterior motives.

It is the "Baowu Zhibao" that Yao Jiuye and the others tried their best to build. In the eyes of Emperor Mingguang, they are also "extraordinary and lewd skills" and cannot be put on the table.

If it weren't for the "original intentions" of Yao Jiuye and the others, if it weren't for the training of these children, Emperor Mingguang might not have allowed a group of princes and grandsons to keep their "main work" and do such things that cannot be put on the table.

However, in fact...

These things that cannot be put on the table seem to affect more people.

When Emperor Mingguang looked at the papers, he thought about what was changing all this behind his back. He seemed to understand a little why Li Wenchong wanted to "engage in education" with Gu Qingling.

A spark can start a prairie fire.

Even if it is just a small newspaper, as long as it is done well, it can affect its people in some invisible places.

Emperor Mingguang used locusts as the imperial examination twice in a row. In addition to trying to compare the candidates, he also wanted to make the ministers in the court understand that he was going to destroy locusts.

And then, he wants everyone in the world to know about this.

And the test papers of all the candidates are a "surprise" for him.

Although it is not particularly clear, you can vaguely detect how much changes someone's actions will bring to the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Suddenly, Mingguang really became a little expectant.

The smile on his face made the ministers in the hall breathe a sigh of relief.

They didn't know what Mingguang was thinking, they just thought it was the candidates' answers to make Emperor Mingguang happy, which also means that they completed the task "excellently".

According to his own wishes, Emperor Mingguang dialed Yao Anhong and Huo Botao's rankings forward.

...

"Brother Hong passed the exam to Tanhua?!"

Gu Qingling looked surprised and couldn't believe it.

Yao Anhong's performance was not as good as amazing, so why did he suddenly become Tanhua?

She quickly asked Li Wenchong, could it be that he was saying good things in front of Emperor Mingguang?

It’s okay to say good things, but this ranking can’t be too exaggerated, right?

Li Wenchong laughed and said, "Are you a little confident in your grandson? Brother Hong took the imperial examination. I greeted the emperor in advance, but I didn't have the final say on how he was doing in the exam and whether he could pass the exam. Brother Hong was able to be named Tanhua. One is that his article was written well, and the other is that he was young and handsome... Since ancient times, the position of Tanhua has been left for handsome boys."

Not to mention the one who was far away, just talk about the previous one. Isn’t it because of his outstanding appearance that he was called out to Tanhua?

When it comes to top scholars, you need to talk about talent.

When it comes to Tanhua, you have to talk about appearance.

And the second place...

In fact, the talent of the second-tier figure cannot be bad, but the problem is that there is the top scholar with more outstanding literary talent in the front, and the young and beautiful Tanhua behind. If there is nothing to show off, the limelight will be suppressed?

Although Li Wenchong was a little surprised, considering Yao Anhong's young age and outstanding appearance, the possibility of being a Tanhua is quite high.

What does this mean?
