"Your Majesty, the case has been investigated clearly. It turns out that it is a scholar named Ruan Dacheng. This man, Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu are both scholars from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefectures."
"In the college examination, these three people performed extremely well!"
"The examiner thought he had the talent to be a Jinshi, but in the provincial examination, this person barely managed to pass the exam."
"After the general examination, this person failed and failed the examination."
"But looking at Jie Yuangong and Ya Yuangong in the provincial examination, one got the second place in the general examination and the other got the fourth place in the general examination!"
"This person suddenly felt it was unfair and became jealous!"
"So this person wanted to prevent Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu from becoming Jinshi, or even make them lose their honors like him."
"That's why he would do such a thing!"
Zhang Derong, deputy factory supervisor of the East Factory, reported everything he investigated to the emperor today.
Huang Tinghui also didn't expect that he hadn't done anything yet.
Someone has already proven his innocence for him.
It’s really easy to do things with someone in the DPRK!
"What a jealous person, what a jealous person. This kind of person almost killed two talents from our Dasheng Kingdom!"
"What a scumbag that brings disaster to the country and the people. If there were people like this in the whole world."
"Who among the talented people in our prosperous country dares to take the imperial examination?"
"These people can frame others just because of jealousy or jealousy?"
The little emperor smiled instead of being angry. This was the first time that he valued the imperial examination so much.
I didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the imperial examination that I valued so much for the first time.
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with this person?" Zhang Derong bowed to the little emperor and then asked.
"This person!"
"Exiled to the frontier, deprived of honors, never hired!"
"I want everyone in the world to know that there are some things and some bottom lines that cannot be touched!"
"Do you understand?" the little emperor looked directly at Zhang Derong, deputy factory supervisor of the East Factory, and said.
"His Majesty!"
"I understand, little one!"
As expected of the Imperial Guard, this so-called "imperial examination fraud case" that had caused quite a stir was eradicated with such high efficiency.
Those candidates who wanted to continue making trouble with these things also suddenly lost their temper.
As for Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu, they were not affected by this incident at all.
After the dust has settled.
Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu also visited several big shots in the court introduced to him by Li Baichong, which could be considered as a way to get acquainted with each other.
In addition to those people known by Huang Tinghui's teacher Li Baichong, some people known by Tang Zihu's father naturally also wanted to visit.
At present, both Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu have stood out in the joint examination, and they are among the best.
In the palace examination, Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu were probably among the top ten.
Therefore, others would naturally not reject Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu's overtures.
After all, who would reject these younger generations who have a bright future?
If he hadn't known that Huang Tinghui already had a wife, Tang Zihu would have said that he would return to his hometown to get married after becoming a Jinshi.
There are many people who want Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu to be their son-in-law.
If Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu perform well and win the first prize in the palace examination.
He was the future prime minister, so there were many wealthy families who wanted to marry Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu.
Of course, Huang Tinghui originally planned to visit Zhang Derong, the deputy director of the East Factory, after the examination, but because of what happened, it was no longer appropriate to visit Zhang Derong, the deputy director of the East Factory.
So Huang Tinghui just wrote a letter of thanks to Zhang Derong and taught Zhang Derong something called "backgammon".
After all, you will soon get tired of playing with the Rubik's Cube.
The little emperor must be looking for some other fun, and this backgammon game can at least handle it for a while.
Of course, Huang Tinghui’s belly contains more than just these things.
There are also flying chess, werewolf killing and even scripted killing. If the little emperor wants to play something exciting, the haunted house is of course the choice.
However, Huang Tinghui considered that this thing was too exciting and could not be handed over to Zhang Derong casually.
What if something happens and the little emperor is killed?
Then something really big would happen.
Just after Huang Tinghui wrote a letter to Zhang Derong and exchanged words with each other.
The imperial examination also came quietly.
The so-called palace examination is also called "imperial examination", "court examination", "court examination", etc.
It was one of the imperial examinations during the Dasheng Dynasty.
The imperial examination is planned by the cabinet and then submitted to the emperor for selection.
Only those who are successful in the general examination can participate. The purpose is to distinguish those who have passed the general examination, select officials, etc.
The imperial examination is the highest stage in the imperial examination. It was created by the Li Dynasty in the Luocheng Palace of Ziwei Palace in the divine capital, so it started from the Li Dynasty.
The first person in the imperial examination is awarded the title of Zhuangyuan.
In the history of imperial examinations, the first imperial examination was initiated by the first female emperor.
In February of the first year of Zaichu, the female emperor was about to proclaim herself emperor, so she asked tribute scholars at the Luocheng Palace in Ziwei City, the divine capital. Elites from all over the country gathered in Luoyang. There were tens of thousands of candidates, and they took the exam for several days.
From then on, people were examined in front of the palace. Those who passed the imperial examination were considered Jinshi.
This system was officially established in the Zhao Dynasty and was continued in the Dasheng Kingdom.
This exam was conducted by the emperor himself.
Only those who are selected in the general examination can participate.
The purpose is to differentiate among those who pass the examination.
Dasheng Kingdom is divided into top three, but not second place.
Similar to the provincial examination and the general examination, this palace examination is held every three years and is attended by those prospective scholars who have won the tribute title in the general examination.
Since the questions for the Imperial Examination were set by the emperor, it was relatively difficult to disclose the questions.
In the past, when the little emperor was still young, the questions for the imperial examination were given by the cabinet ministers on his behalf.
However, this time the palace examination is quite special, and the little emperor attaches great importance to this palace examination.
Therefore, the person who set the questions for this imperial examination was the little emperor himself.
In this way, the possibility of leaking the question is extremely small.
Unless someone can reach out to the little emperor.
However, because things would come out in the test, the little emperor wanted to ensure the confidentiality of the imperial examination questions.
He didn't even let out a few of his personal eunuchs until the test questions were taken away and the palace examination officially began.
Therefore, even the cabinet ministers do not know what the issue is today.
What's more, the scholars who participated in the palace examination this time.
As a result, the expression of the deputy minister of the cabinet became a little bad.
After all, his son was a Huiyuan who was good at taking exams, so the little emperor's behavior made him look extremely embarrassed.
It seems that it is kept secret just to guard against him.
After the Imperial Examination in the Dasheng Dynasty, the imperial examinations were divided into three categories: the first three were awarded Jinshi and ranked first, commonly known as the number one scholar, the second best scholar, and the third best scholar.
Erjia was given a Jinshi background, and the first one was generally called Chuanlu.
Sanjia was born with Jinshi.
March 15th is also the day of the imperial examination.
It has been a month since the trial ended.
But this time, Huang Tinghui's salty time did not last too long.
After all, after the proficiency test is over, the palace test will take place in just one month.
Except for visiting some officials with whom he had friendship, Huang Tinghui studied at home behind closed doors.
Also prepare for the upcoming palace examination.
After a very tedious day, Huang Tinghui went to bed early the day before the imperial examination.
Unlike other candidates who barely managed to fall asleep after tossing and turning, Huang Tinghui quickly fell asleep.
This sleep was particularly sweet, and there was no great pressure. It was not until Huang Tinghui heard the sound of the third night in a daze that he rubbed his eyes and woke up from his sleep.
.
Regarding the imperial examination, Huang Tinghui was not nervous at all, he was more excited.
If this were put in the eyes of others, they would definitely think that Huang Tinghui was big-hearted.
But the reason why Huang Tinghui was excited was because the imperial examination was the last subject of the imperial examination.
As long as you finish this exam, you will truly be free from the imperial examination in the future.
This is like the feeling of Huang Tinghui taking the college entrance examination in later generations.
As soon as the college entrance examination is over, they can get rid of the boring examinations and officially take the first step in life.
This feeling is so mysterious that Huang Tinghui himself finds it hard to explain.
However, he always failed in the exams he took with this mentality.
As for this time, Huang Tinghui also has great confidence.
He doesn't want to be ranked first, second, or third overall.
All you need to do is get a second-class Jinshi. After all, no matter how well you do in the exam, your future development is still uncertain.
Although many cabinet ministers are ranked number one, number two, or number three.
However, there are also many cabinet chief ministers who were born as Jinshi.
For example, the current chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Julu, was ranked ninth in the palace examination.
As for other names and appearances, many of them come from less high-ranking families.
But this does not prevent them from holding high positions in the future and controlling the future destiny of the entire empire.
Huang Tinghui understands that many things are beyond his control, and the only thing he can do well is to be himself.
After getting on the carriage and rushing to Dashengmen, Huang Tinghui immediately got off the carriage and continued walking to the inner room.
At this time, the sky was just getting bright.
More than three hundred tributes arrived one after another.
They were all wearing new clothes and looked excited.
After all, when they reached the palace examination, they almost had official status. In this way, they didn't have to worry about falling short at this final level like the previous dynasties.
Naturally, my mood is much more relaxed than before.
Each of these tributes was beaming with joy, and when they saw each other, they bowed their hands.
We were still chatting together, and there was no fear or uneasiness at the beginning of the exam.
"Brother Tinghui!"
"Brother Tinghui!!"
"Hahaha, Brother Tinghui, you are the number one scholar in our Jiangzhe Prefecture, so you must show your best and bring some glory to our Jiangzhe Prefecture's face!"
"Brother Tinghui, from now on we will be officials in the same palace, so we must take care of each other!"
"There are actually some envious people who are jealous of Brother Tinghui's talent. Now that man is exiled, it's so satisfying!"
"Brother Tinghui, I hope you will lead the world!"
"Dakui world!"
"Dakui world!!"
The scholars who gathered together often considered themselves from the same hometown, so they were all cheering for the most powerful person in their hometown party and doing favors for that person.
Of course, who doesn’t want to be the best.
Who doesn't want to become the number one scholar?
Just as everyone was talking about it, the Dasheng Gate slowly opened.
Guards guarding the city gate were lined up on both sides.
At this time, an official suddenly appeared. He walked to the gate and asked: "Fellow tributes, line up in three rows, headed by the first to third tributes!"
"Then they are arranged in order."
After hearing what the man said, Huang Tinghui and others slowly walked forward.
The official nodded and confirmed that these were indeed the top three candidates.
After others confirmed that those participating in the palace examination were all tributes, they announced that everyone should enter the palace.
Although in this case, it is unlikely that these tributes are impostors.
But those officials were naturally afraid of making a fool of themselves in the palace and displeasing the emperor.
So the inspections that should be done still need to be done.
After confirming that everything was correct, they allowed these tributes to go to the main hall where the palace examination was held according to due procedures.
"Everyone!"
"This is a royal place. No noise is allowed, no whispering, no looking left or right!"
"If it disturbs the peace of the royal family and the emperor comes down, don't say I didn't warn you!"
The old-fashioned official looked at everyone with a serious face until he announced the discipline.
Naturally, all the tributes kept saying "yes"
They were all newcomers entering this palace for the first time, so naturally they did not dare to make any mistakes in this matter.
The official was very satisfied with everyone's performance.
He nodded, and then said to all the tributes: "Xinke tributes!"
"Enter!"
At that moment, the official made an invitation gesture towards Huang Tinghui and other tributes.
Naturally, all the tributes immediately returned the courtesy to the official.
Then, under the guidance of this official, three hundred tributes entered the hall.
At this point, the imperial examination, which is extremely sacred in the minds of thousands of imperial examination scholars, has begun.
At this time, there were dozens of officials waiting in the hall.
Huang Tinghui couldn't help but glance at them. Sure enough, they were all important officials of the imperial court.
Led by Zhang Julu, the chief minister of the cabinet, all the important ministers who could make the entire Dasheng Kingdom tremble with their stamp of feet were looking this way.
Huang Tinghui looked at these people and didn't think there was anything special.
After all, in later generations of television, some big figures have also watched a lot.
So deep down, I don't feel that these big figures are too out of reach.
However, other candidates did not have such a good attitude as Huang Tinghui.
They looked at these important officials appearing in front of them and swallowed their saliva one by one.
It’s really too stressful and too stressful!
However, everyone's nervous thoughts were quickly interrupted when a burst of music sounded.
The little emperor slowly walked out under the protection of his servants.
At this time, all the court officials bowed to the little emperor.
The other scholars also followed suit and bowed to the little emperor.
"Get up!"
"Everyone, please perform well today and let me see your style!"
The little emperor stretched out his hand and motioned for the soldiers to stand down.
This was the first time that the little emperor paid so much attention to the imperial examination. If it had been in the past, the little emperor might not have appeared in the imperial examination.
After all, there are many strange emperors in the Great Sheng Kingdom, and there are also many who have not been in court for more than 20 years.
In this way, Huang Tinghui and the others can see what the little emperor looks like during this palace examination.
It was also Huang Tinghui and the others who got lucky.
The little emperor raised his eyebrows at the big eunuch beside him. The big eunuch who received the little emperor's instructions immediately shouted in a sharp voice: "Linxuan makes a plan!"
At this time, Zhang Julu, the chief minister of the cabinet, stepped forward to take the sealed palace test paper and opened it.
Then someone distributed the test paper to all the candidates.
As the second placer in the joint examination, Huang Tinghui naturally received the earlier batch of test papers.
At this time, the entire hall was silent.
Not a single scholar made a sound.
Some of them stared directly at their exam desks, while others stared at their exam baskets without moving.
Some even choose to close their eyes and relax to relieve the stress in their hearts.
These people have different expressions.
But only Huang Tinghui was different. He looked at the movements of the candidates, a bit like a crowd eating melons.
"Little Dezi!" The little emperor was very interested when he saw Huang Tinghui's actions. He called the little eunuch next to him over.
"Young one is here!" Hearing the little emperor's call, Zhang Derong naturally stepped forward immediately.
At this time, the little emperor glanced at Huang Tinghui who was not far away. He said to Zhang Derong, "You met Huang Tinghui when you were in Jiangzhe Mansion. This person is really interesting!"
"Everyone else is preparing for this palace exam, they are very nervous!"
"Only this person has the leisure to look at others here and there!"
"What a wonderful person!" the little emperor said to Zhang Derong with a smile.
Zhang Derong naturally heard that the little emperor was not dissatisfied, so he quickly said to the little emperor, "This Huang Tinghui is indeed a wonderful man!"
"Only people like him can think of double-entry accounting!"
"You can't think of a way to make money like that!"
"Since ancient times, all good people are always a little different!"
After hearing Zhang Derong's explanation, the little emperor expressed his satisfaction.
"Um!"
"You are right. After this person wins, I will give him an official position responsible for making money!"
"In this way, this person can continue to make money for me!"
Hearing what the little emperor said, Zhang Derong quickly agreed.
However, if Huang Tinghui, who was not far away, heard that this little money-crazed emperor actually planned to arrange himself in this way, he would definitely have a dark streak in his head.
The rumors are indeed true!
This little emperor is probably the most money-loving emperor in the history of Dasheng Kingdom!
Let yourself be an official just to make money for him.
Sure enough, the strange emperor cannot be treated with common sense.
However, under the education of a wise minister like the Chief Minister Zhang Julu, why did the little emperor grow more and more crooked?
Could it be the rumored rebellion?
Zhang Julu wanted the little emperor to become a wise monarch who could make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment.
The little emperor was rebellious and wanted to make more money for himself and build more big palaces for himself.
Buy yourself some more goodies!
It is rare to see an emperor who loves money so much.
If what goes up and down the line work, I'm afraid the entire Dasheng Kingdom will be rotten to the core soon.
Huang Tinghui also noticed that the little emperor was paying attention to him, and he immediately put back the look he had been looking around.
Even though I have a lot of complaints about the little emperor in my heart, at the moment, the little emperor is my future boss no matter what.
Huang Tinghui still needs to give his future boss a good impression.
However, this scene fell in the eyes of the little emperor, and he found Huang Tinghui extremely interesting.
This palace examination starts at the beginning of the morning, so the time has not yet come, and it is impossible for everyone to start it in front of the young emperor and all the important ministers.
Perhaps they were afraid that the scholars would be hungry during the exam, so the chamberlains distributed a packet of palace cakes to each of the scholars on the table early.
If the scholars feel a little hungry, they can pick up this palace cake to cushion their stomachs.
After all, in order to prepare for this imperial examination, I think these scholars all got up early in the morning.
If this happens, I'm afraid I won't have time to eat.
Therefore, the palace thoughtfully prepared some food for these scholars to enjoy.
But in front of the emperor, in front of the cabinet ministers and all the ministers.
The scholars would not lose their bearings, just pick up the palace cake and eat it.
Even if they are hungry, they will not move much.
Unless you get to the end and you just can’t stand it any longer.
Only then will they eat something to fill their stomachs.
In addition to the palace cakes to satisfy hunger, a lot of tea was also prepared in the hall.
These scholars who participated in the palace examination were free to use it.
Huang Tinghui woke up early in the morning and ate the buns made by the little girl, so he was definitely not hungry.
However, I ate the buns in a bit of a hurry, as I was rushing to take part in the imperial examination.
So he only felt a little thirsty at this time, so other scholars did not dare to act rashly.
Huang Tinghui called the waiter, asked about the situation, and fetched tea in a swaggering manner.
This scene made the important officials of the imperial court look at each other in shock.
You must know that when they took part in the palace examination, they were extremely well-behaved.
There will be situations where students get water by themselves before the exam starts.
However, Huang Tinghui naturally has his own reasons. First of all, he is getting some water because he is really thirsty. Secondly, he came here to drink tea during the exam. Wouldn't that be a waste of time?
"Hahaha, this guy is really interesting!"
"interesting!"
"It seems that if I choose him as a Jinshi in the future, there should be a lot of interesting things happening!"
The little emperor was already very playful, but when he saw Huang Tinghui's actions, he felt that Huang Tinghui was different.
Even Zhang Derong did not expect that Huang Tinghui would fall into the eyes of the little emperor.
But come to think of it, this is also due to Huang Tinghui's contribution to the double-entry accounting method, and Huang Tinghui's contribution to adding gold and silver to the little emperor's treasury!
Of course, for the little money-loving emperor.
The most important thing should be that Huang Tinghui has the ability to keep filling his small coffers.
Just after Huang Tinghui finished drinking water and returned to his seat, Chen Shi finally arrived.
I saw Zhang Julu, the chief minister of the cabinet, walking in front of all the candidates.
His eyes scanned all the candidates present. Although Zhang Julu was old, his eyes were still very powerful.
"The exam is about to begin!" Zhang Julu, the chief and assistant minister of the cabinet, was heard to say.
The imperial examination finally officially began.
…
Chapter completed!
