Chapter 954 The Emperor with a Filter

The boy's breath calmed down for a while, and then he said: "The eldest son's name is in the list of tributes."

 “By the way, Mr. Su took Huiyuan.”

Gu Qing clapped his hands and said, "Brother Chen already won the Xie Yuan, and now he has won the Hui Yuan. If he can get the top prize in the imperial examination, it will really be a big three yuan!"

Gu Zhang's thoughts were not on Su Chen, he was just happy that his son had realized the dream that he had not been able to realize when he was young.

However, getting the tribute is not the final result, it can only be regarded as qualifying for the palace examination.

He suppressed his joy and told Gu Qing in a deep voice, "In the next two days, just concentrate on reading the article at home and prepare for the imperial examination."

One day later, early in the morning, before dawn, Gu Qing washed up, had breakfast, and went to the palace to take part in the palace examination.

The imperial examination was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

 The one hundred and twenty tributes and one Huiyuan who were selected were called by name and saluted, and then the test papers were handed out.

The imperial examination is nominally presided over by the emperor, but no emperor would stay idle for a day in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

  Basically it was just a formality. The emperor presided over the ceremony and left.

 The palace examination only tests policy questions.

 The policy question is to raise one or two problems that the court needs to solve, and the candidates will give solutions.

The general meaning of the question of this palace examination is: after three years of severe drought in the Northland, the remaining population is less than one-third of the original population, and the fields are barren and uncultivated. How can the Northland recover quickly?

Su Chen and Gu Qing were both people who had escaped from famine, and were more familiar with the situation in the Northland than other candidates. They thought about it briefly and then began to answer the questions.

 At noon, the emperor came over and took a look around.

First I walked to my nephew and read his article.

Su Chen's handwriting goes without saying. Even if it is a draft, it looks like it was printed in a very standard style. Regardless of the article, just looking at the handwriting is pleasing to the eye.

The emperor looked at it, smiled, and was about to leave when he caught a glimpse of Gu Qing.

When the Gu family was in Ping'an City, they didn't have much contact with the palace, but the emperor also met Gu Qing two or three times.

 He didn’t know that the Crown Princess’s brother actually took part in the scientific examination and passed the imperial examination.

The emperor walked over and stood next to Gu Qing, read his article, and nodded slightly for a while.

 First of all, Gu Qing's calligraphy is also very good. As long as he is a scholar, he has been learning Guange style since he was a child, because the imperial examination requires writing in Guange style.

Secondly, several countermeasures proposed by Gu Qing, such as reducing taxes, verifying that ownerless land is donated to the people at low prices or free of charge, and the government distributing grain seeds, are relatively pragmatic and highly feasible. The writing style is a little simple, but it is still good. article.

 After seeing the two acquaintances, the emperor showed no interest and left.

 At noon, the palace gave me food and drink. After eating, I continued to take the exam.

 It wasn’t until sunset that someone came over to collect the papers.

 The papers were collected, names were anonymized, and then sealed. They had to wait until the next day for several examiners to take turns marking the papers.

 The examiner gives five grades of evaluation to the test papers, selects the ten test papers with the best overall scores, and presents them to the emperor, who then personally selects the top, second, and third papers.

In just a few days, ten test papers were placed on the emperor's desk.

The emperor flipped through the ten test papers and found Su Chen's paper first. His nephew had often corresponded with him in the past, and the font was very familiar. After reading the article carefully, the emperor couldn't help but slam the table, "What a good article! "

The article quotes classics and classics, and the writing is brilliant. Not only does it have its own unique insights on government affairs, but the writing is also extremely beautiful.

 The emperor wrote "1" on Su Chen's paper without hesitation and then put it aside.
