Of course, Chu Tianxiu would not tell Li Gannian about her thoughts.

He recruited Li Gannian to come here just to ask about the experience of the palace examination. Only after participating in it personally can we understand some tricks, which is the most valuable practical experience.

A woman like the second wife in the palace dares to show Xiaohunhou's face.

But the children of the Li family, such as Li Gannian, completely depended on the main branch, and did not dare to be disrespectful to Xiao Hunhou, the son-in-law. Otherwise, they would be expelled from the main branch and would become civilians who would never make a breakthrough in an instant.

Li Gannian immediately gave his experience in the palace examination without reservation and answered 110 times.

Every year at the age of Laba, the imperial court's first-class government affairs were awarded. The test questions were given by the emperor himself, and the emperor alone scored the papers. The answer sheet was scored as "excellent, upper, middle, and lower", and the officials were awarded according to the grade.

Even the Prime Minister's Mansion, who assisted the emperor, cannot even get involved in this matter.

So, no one can know the test questions that were taken this year.

Even if the answers to the test questions are correct or not, no one can know, it all depends on the emperor's likes and dislikes and judgments. Without the so-called "standard" answer, no matter how beautiful the answer is, it is useless.

The emperor Xiang Yanran has a good reputation in the Great Chu Dynasty. Except for the siege of the Huns who were besieged in northern expeditions and a chaos occurred. In the years since he ascended the throne, he has made no mistakes and has the reputation of a wise monarch.

But the emperor's heart is unpredictable.

No one can guess what test questions the emperor will give or what answers he wants.

There are time limits for answering questions in palace trials.

The time limit is one stick of incense.

How long does one stick of incense last?

It takes about one quarter of an hour, which is about fifteen minutes to convert into later generations.

It is extremely difficult to answer the emperor's question that has no traces to follow in this short incense stick of time and give an answer that the emperor is satisfied with.

In just fifteen minutes, many students probably haven't even figured out the question, let alone given an answer.

The reason why the palace examination policy is so short is probably related to the morning court system.

Once the emperor had any questions during the morning court, the ministers in the court had to think about it on the spot and immediately provide countermeasures.

It is impossible to give one or two hours to reply after thinking carefully - in that case, the whole morning court would probably only be able to deal with one or two things.

This requires officials to have very strong accumulation and insights to provide the emperor with a suitable countermeasure in such a short period of time.

Therefore, every year, when the palace examination policy was held, only a few of the "excellent" candidates were fortunate to be directly awarded the title of "county magistrate" and other officials, and successfully embarked on the career of the government.

The emperor has a good impression of the "excellent" son. His career has the fastest rise and he manages counties and counties well. He is promoted every three or five years. He has a great chance to be promoted to the nine ministers of the court.

The other "high-level and medium-level" candidates were all sent to be the lower-level officials of the county and county, and they had some experience. They had good luck and made contributions, and could be replaced by the county magistrate.

Or stay in the Jinling City Public Car Mansion, and wait for the minor officials in various departments of the court to fill the vacancy, get a degree, and promote it.

There are also a few "lowest" candidates who answer the questions the worst, who are directly rejected or even punished.

Chu Tianxiu calculated carefully and felt that he didn't have enough time to answer the questions.

For later generations, it takes an hour to consider a 800-word essay.

In the palace examination, there was only one stick of incense, and it took about fifteen minutes to answer the questions. There was no time to think deeply. As soon as the emperor spoke, the candidates had to write the answer immediately.

If you can write a perfect answer, you will definitely be a monster.

"The time is so short, can you all finish the answer?"

Chu Tianxiu was surprised.

Li Gannian looked mysterious, lowered his voice and whispered: "Son-in-law, it must be too late to deal with it on the spot! The trick is to preview the topic in advance."

"Precaution?"

"It is. The palace examination strategy will not deviate from the major affairs of the court, the national economy and people's livelihood. It is just that the national politics involves many aspects, thousands and tens of thousands, which are difficult to count... The only way for candidates to take advantage of is to slap the questions.

I chose five, six, and ten major events that happened in the imperial court last year and set the questions separately. Then I thought about it carefully and wrote a "countermeasure" for each question.

Even each question, with different angles, front and back, gives different answers.

After the palace examination, the emperor asked for a question and if he was lucky enough to get the question, he would do it without thinking and write an extremely perfect answer in one stick of incense."

Li Gannian nodded repeatedly.

If you don’t bet on the high school entrance examination questions in advance, and you can only do it if you want to be "excellent" on the spot.

He looked a little regretful and said, "This is the key trick to ask the palace examination strategy. The answer sheets that the emperor can appreciate are almost all lucky enough to win the exam questions of that year. If you don't get the bet, you will be unlucky.

I went to the exam two years ago, but I didn’t beat the test. My mind was confused and I didn’t know what I wrote on the bamboo slips... I hope I can beat the test this year!"

"Okay, I get it!"

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help laughing.

This method is exactly the same as the essays for college entrance examination candidates. It’s just that they write ordinary essays, while the emperor tests national politics.

The difficulty varies greatly.

Point the question!

For later candidates who have experienced many battles, they are simply familiar with each other.

"Son-in-law, my experience is here. Each student has different answers to the question and answer. Let me go back first and take one or two questions tonight.

You should also try to ban a few more tonight to avoid losing your room in the palace examination. In the early morning of tomorrow, I will come to my son-in-law and go to the palace to participate in the palace examination together."

Li Gannian stood up and bowed.

The two of them discussed the question together, which made little sense. If the answer came out in the same way, wouldn’t the emperor suspect that you two were copying the paper?

"Okay! You go back first."

Chu Tianxiu nodded.

Li Gannian bowed to say goodbye, put on a bamboo hat and cloak, and left in the cold snow.

Chu Tianxiu paced back and forth in the study and had some insights into participating in the palace examination.

Although I have never participated in the palace examination, I still have rich experience in calculating the exam.

The title must be accurate, provided that the information must be accurate.

He had already had some vague understanding of the Great Chu Dynasty.

The Great Chu Dynasty under Emperor Xiang Yanran was approximately equivalent to the early Western Han Dynasty. The history before the pre-Qin period did not change, and only the history of these sixty or seventy years changed.

He has read a lot of historical materials.

In addition to Yuyuan Study Room, the Pingwang Mansion also has a Pingwang Mansion library, which contains about thousands of bamboo slips - a huge amount of information that ordinary Confucian scholars would never have.

But if it is a hundred pages of paper books, the number of words is only a few dozen.

There are many historical materials about the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom.

It's still early, and it's a few hours tonight.

Chu Tianxiu immediately went to the library and flipped through the bamboo slips to see if there was anything he could use.

If you sharpen your knife at the time of battle, you will be shining even if you don’t feel happy!

Killing people may not be profitable, but it is still enough to scare people when you show them out.

When he saw this, he found a lot of historical materials and was very interesting to read.

The thoughts of the ancients were exactly the same as those of modern people! Many things that modern people are accustomed to, but the ancients may not be like this.

At night, the scholar Chu Tian left the royal palace library with satisfaction and went back to the study to have a beautiful sleep.

Emperor, you can just give a question.

Let’s see how this little Hunhou answers, so that you can know how powerful this little Hunhou’s knowledge is!
