Jianwu three years.

Chinese New Year.

The New Year flavor is very strong.

It's also very meaningful.

At that time, 100,000 families from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty invaded Liaodong, and all of Liaodong fell. Now the king of Han has founded the country, established the country, and has strong soldiers and horses.

This year is the first year after the liberation of Liaodong and the expulsion of the Tartars.

The first Spring Festival.

In the town of Jiang County, every household is busy visiting relatives and neighbors. Children, big and small, are laughing and making noise in groups, and the sounds of children's laughter are endless.

Chen Ning, an old man in the east of the city, sat in front of the gate, squinting his eyes, smoking a dry cigarette, and watching the children playing, feeling very satisfied.

"After experiencing war, we know how precious peace is."

"Your Majesty, Shenwu, protect our mountains and rivers."

In the west of the city, Chen Shan, a childless and helpless old man who turned seventy and two this year, was sitting in front of the stove to warm himself. Three kilograms of meat hung on the wall and the rice vat was full of rice.

The imperial court subsidized the people, and provided rice and meat to those who were alone, widowed, old or weak, as appropriate.

Chen Shan kept warm and smiled, very happy.

In the first year of expelling the Tartars and regaining Liaodong, the people of the Han Dynasty were very fat.

In the palace.

As usual, princes, young masters, and princes all came to pay homage to Wu Nian. The eldest princess Wu, along with her daughter-in-law Li Ya and her grandson Zhang Xiong, entered the palace to celebrate the New Year.

Wu Nian smiled and gathered with his family, then left the harem and arrived at the imperial study room in the front palace to accept the worship of the civil and military ministers who were currently in Jiang County.

Cabinet of five.

They are the first assistant Liu Zhixing, the second assistant Li Yong, Zhang Haiping, Cui Wushuang, and Gongsun Sang. Li Yong has a very strong old bone, and he survived hard, and his complexion looks good.

Liu Zhixing continued to take the lead and was the main force in the cabinet.

Zhang Haiping continued to shine. Cui Wushuang and Gongsun Sang, who were newly appointed to the cabinet, were full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm. The official positions left vacant after they left were filled by others.

The officialdom of the Han Dynasty turned a new page.

There are ten palaces and five cabinet ministers.

As the territory expanded and the population grew, the bureaucracy also grew larger.

After the New Year, the Han Dynasty continued to maintain its upward momentum and was very strong. The generals in each department used veterans to lead new troops, and the army gradually regained its strength.

Huanglong Mansion's two new garrison houses gradually gained some momentum.

At least standing on top of the city, there is no problem in defending the city.

The newly acquired Huanglong Mansion was quickly integrated into the Han Dynasty's system and became an indispensable existence.

The growth of population and land has made commercial activities further prosperous.

The most important one is the imperial examination.

I studied hard for ten years in a cold window, just to get my name on the gold medal list.

In the morning he was a farmhouse man, and in the evening he ascended to the Emperor's Hall.

Learn a skill and serve your father.

In Liaodong, the scholars in Youyan are full of joy and enthusiasm. A long time has passed since Wu Nian annexed Youyan.

Lu Sheng, the governor of Youyan, promoted it well. Now the scholars of Youyan can not only write well, but also speak fluent Chudu Mandarin.

Going to Liaodong and taking part in the palace examination is not a problem at all.

Of course, some traditional scholars are also a little dissatisfied. This time the exam actually requires geography, arithmetic, and science.

But there is no way, it is your father’s order.

If you don't take the exam, get out.

If you don't take the exam, some people will take the exam.

Because of Wu Nian's overweight, many people did not pass the examination.

Those who are admitted to the scholar examination are actively preparing to be admitted to the examination.

Those who failed to pass the examination can only pinch their noses and learn new knowledge, hoping to pass the examination in the next imperial examination.

From this aspect, it has positive significance.

In order to take the imperial examination, scholars had to accept new knowledge.

If you don't accept new knowledge, you will be eliminated. If you study hard in a cold window, it will turn into a dream.

In May of Liaodong, scholars from Youyan and students from the Imperial College conducted the provincial examination, and the imperial court selected candidates.

Not to mention the candidates for Liaodong, the candidates for Youyan were escorted by troops sent by Governor Lu Sheng to Jiang County, the capital, to participate in the examination.

In this imperial examination, the imperial court admitted 230 Jinshi.

Divided into three rankings.

The first grade of Jinshi.

Second Class Jinshi.

The top three are the same as Jinshi.

The imperial examination is to select Jinshi from among the candidates. That is to say, if you pass the imperial examination, you are equivalent to being a Jinshi. The final palace examination is the official ranking.

The palace examination was held in the main hall, and Wu Nian took the examination in person.

morning.

In the imperial study room, Wu Nian was sitting on the throne, drinking tea. It was the wild mountain tea from Beishan Castle, and Wu Nian liked this the most.

ahead.

Cabinet ministers, lined up.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of the top ten for the examination after discussion among the ministers." Liu Zhixing held a booklet and handed it to Wu Nian respectfully.

Wu Nian reached out and took it, opened the folder and looked at it. He was very impressed with the first name.

Zhang Songshan.

"Where does this Songshan person come from? How old is it?" Wu Nian raised his head and asked.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I am from Nanhai Prefecture in Liaoning Province. I am twenty-eight years old this year." Liu Zhixing spoke of his family's treasures.

"Young talent." Wu Qingqing nodded lightly.

Among the people, the old are respected and the young are respected. But in the officialdom, young people still have the advantage. The imperial examination is abnormal, some people are gray-haired, and they are still taking the imperial examination.

Even if a gray-haired old man is admitted, it will be of little significance to the country.

"Since it's your chosen Huiyuan, then it should be him. According to the plan, the palace examination will be held ten days later. I will test them personally."

Wu Nian put down the book in his hand, raised his head and smiled at the cabinet ministers, fully expressing his trust.

"Yes." The ministers responded with their hands raised.

The king made a decision, and the cabinet ministers provided suggestions. The first imperial examination of the Han Dynasty, the imperial examination list for the third year of Jianwu, was issued.

Zhang Songshan, a 28-year-old native of Nanhai Prefecture, graduated from high school.

For a time, the town of Jiang County was buzzing with people. Some people were happy, some were sad. Some were ready to go home, continue studying hard and wait for the next opportunity.

Someone plans to get drunk in the capital.

The prospective Jinshi who passed the examination will naturally continue to study hard to prepare for the palace examination ten days later.

August twenty-fifth.

The palace door opens.

Two hundred and thirty prospective Jinshi, dressed in clean and tidy clothes, headed to the main hall under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Etiquette.

After entering the main hall, everyone takes their seats according to the number plates.

Many people raised their heads secretly and looked at the king's father who was sitting high on the throne.

This great general is skilled in martial arts and a wise king who knows people and is good at assigning them.

On the throne.

Wu Nian, wearing a black gauze winged crown and a dragon robe, was relatively far away from the prospective Jinshi scholars. The prospective Jinshi scholars could not see his appearance clearly.

But now the face is not important, the aura and environment are important.

The would-be Jinshi scholars only sighed when they saw it.

He is indeed a king and father, and his majesty comes naturally.

In the morning he was a farmhouse man, and in the evening he ascended to the Emperor's Hall.
