Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be attracted by this test paper, Xie Qian, who was in charge of scoring the paper, quickly stepped forward to cupped his hands and said: “Your Majesty, the minister and others were also caught by this test paper. The policy theory put forward on the test paper is amazing.

Imperial court has also put forward the proposal to open the mutual market, but most of its purpose is to trade war horses, cattle, sheep and other materials.

It’s just that the tribal leaders on the grassland don’t want to see the war horses flow into my Daming territory, so this mutual market will eventually be able to stop.

For example, the novel angle on the test paper in front of me, The ministers are also unheard of and have never thought of it.

If it can really be as stated on the test paper of this candidate, opening up the mutual market can really have a miraculous effect on the management of border troubles.

However, this is only a one-sided word of the examinee. No one has tried it before.

So after the ministers and so on, they decided to set the test paper in He won the third place.”

Emperor Hongzhi was nodded, he indifferently smiled and counted: “Yes, what you are waiting for is indeed very thoughtful.

But anyway, this one The policy theory put forward on the test paper can be regarded as a good policy.

In the selection of the best in the open hall test, what I want is this kind of capable minister who can put forward good policies and dare to put forward good policies.

In my opinion, even if this person’s test paper has a first name, it’s not enough.”

While talking, Emperor Hongzhi opened the seal on the name of the test paper. He wanted to take a look at it. From such a novel perspective, who is the candidate who can put forward the open exchange market?

“Shaanxi, Zhou Chen?”

After seeing the name of the owner of the test paper, Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but gently frowned.

He slowly put down the test paper in his hand, first glanced at Zhu Huzhao next to him without a trace, and then looked thoughtful and nodded.

“Is this the man who rescued Crown Prince some time ago?”

Just when Emperor Hongzhi was thinking about something, Xie Qian cupped the hands again and reported:” Your Majesty, according to the records of the Ministry of Etiquette, this Shaanxi examinee Zhou Chen looks quite handsome, and he can be regarded as Peak when he only learned, and he is still very young, only seventeen years old this year.”

“Youth Dezhi , This may not be a good thing!”

Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand and tapped the table case lightly, muttering to himself, “If this person is named the top champion, this would be for him I am afraid that future official career will not be a good thing!”

“Your Majesty is wise!”

The Xie Qian below is also nodded, echoing: “A champion under twenty years old , It will indeed be hated by many people.”

However, when the words in Xie Qian’s mouth just fell, Zhu Huzhao, who was standing next to Emperor Hongzhi, suddenly retorted: “But this Zhou Chen The answer to this policy theory is amazing. Dad, you can’t just move his ranking to the back just because he is young.”

When he was in the ruined temple earlier, Zhou Chen In other words, it can be regarded as saving Zhu Houzhao’s life, so now Zhu Houzhao can’t help but argue for Zhou Chen.

“haha, Crown Prince, don’t be anxious.”

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but smile heartily and said: “This Zhou Chen’s talent is really good, and Didn’t the Ministry of Etiquette record that he is quite handsome?

In this case, just give him a Third Placer fame according to what Xie Ge and the others decided before.”

Since the implementation of the imperial examination system, Third Placer has been served by candidates with the highest scores and the best looks among the candidates for the palace examinations.

Emperor Hongzhi originally planned to place Zhou Chen as the champion of the palace examination, but because Zhou Chen was too young, Emperor Hongzhi planned to suppress Zhou Chen a little bit.

In this way, this Third Placer’s fame is really suitable for Zhou Chen.

After seeing that Emperor Hongzhi had made a decision, Zhu Houzhao and Xie Qian had no other objections.

I saw the two of them cupped his hands and said: “Your Majesty Shengming!”

In a blink of an eye, two days passed in a hurry.

In the early morning, in the sky is just a grey dawn, when the morning sun has not yet risen.

As soon as Xinke Gongshi was led by officials of the Ministry of Rites, he once again entered the majestic, splendorous and majestic Forbidden City.

Today is the big day for the temple test to be released. The emperor will personally name the top three champions, the second place, and the top three in public, so all the tributes will once again come to this temple.

Across the luxurious avenue paved by the white jade, Zhou Chen and more than a hundred new tributes, all full of excitement, once again came to the Ming Dynasty Hall, the most powerful one. The place.

At this moment, the two sides outside the Jinluan Temple are already covered with civil and military officials.

All these ministers have smiles on their faces. Even the political enemies who usually attack each other to the death and alive, are maintaining the ostensible harmony with each other.

Today is a festive day for the emperor to select the top three in this imperial examination. Those of them who are courtiers are naturally impossible to add to the emperor.

Among more than a hundred tributes, Zhou Chen quietly waited for the emperor’s appointment.

Do not use the nervous and excited look on the faces of other Gongshi, right now Zhou Chen’s heart is very calm.

As for how much he can rank in the palace exam, Zhou Chen doesn’t really care much.

For him, as long as he can have the fame of a Jinshi, it is completely enough.

Of course, if he is fortunate enough to be in the top three of the top three, it is naturally better for him.

In the eager gaze of all the tributes, Li Dongyang, the chief assistant of the cabinet who was in charge of the palace examination, came out more and more, and came to the forefront of the civil and military officials.

Li Dongyang faced the civil and military officials and a group of Xinke Gongshi. He slowly unrolled a yellow silk scroll in his hand, and read aloud: “Accepting orders from Emperor, Zhao Said…”

After the gorgeous rhetoric of Haoyitong praising Taiping, Li Dongyang finally said the most important content: “The 15th year of Hongzhi’s imperial examination is over, and Your Majesty will personally test the world’s tribute. !

First class Jinshi and the third place are bestowed, the Second Class Jinshi is fifty-six, and the third Class is the same Jinshi 115.”

Read here, Li Dongyang breathed a little, and then announced in a louder voice: “First place in the first class, champion, Kang Dehan!

Second place in the first class, second place in the ranking, Gu Lianggong!

p>

The third place in the first one, Tanhua, Zhou Chen!”

After Li Dongyang just named the top three in the first one, all the tributes in the great hall moved towards their three people. Came an extremely envious look.

Even the hundreds of civil and military officials in the Imperial court are paying attention to this.
