Xiao Huiyuan from Lin'an Prefecture?
When everyone heard this, they all thought of the answer sheet with powerful calligraphy and unique content. They admired it and couldn't help but frown.
"Then Xiao Huiyuan is indeed talented, but isn't he too young?"
He has a hairless mouth and is weak at work.
The officialdom is not a place where you can get along well if you are knowledgeable. You also need to be able to read people's faces and speak well.
"It's a pity that Shen Huiyuan may not be able to enter the first class."
"What I'm saying is that most of the students in the Imperial College are seven or eight years older than him, and they have family support, even if they are less knowledgeable, they can Establish a foothold in officialdom.”
“Alas, it’s hard for children from poor families.”
“Don’t forget, those in front of us have descendants in the Imperial College.”
The ones in front of us have descendants in the Imperial College. A few of them are Prime Minister Zhou and others.
Everyone looked at each other and sighed for Shen Xingluo, knowing in their hearts that he and Yijia were not destined to be together.
What's more, it may be impossible for even the top two to enter. You must know that in addition to the Imperial College, there are many children from aristocratic families who also participated in this palace examination.
"Okay, our duty is to mark the papers and select the top ten. The rest are not ours to control, so we should be silent."
Several deputy examiners all shut up, except for Du Shilang He glanced at the emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne and was reading the answer sheet carefully, his expression was a bit unpredictable.
Main hall.
After reading the ten answer sheets one by one, the emperor asked Prime Minister Zhou, Mr. Jiang and others to circulate them, and waved to the eunuch chief standing next to him.
"Let them enter the hall."
"Yes."
After a while, the students who were waiting in the side hall came up with ten names, and suppressed their hearts. The ecstatic queue re-entered the main hall. The most important scene in the palace examination, which tests on-the-spot response, is coming. The candidates are trembling in the face of probing and sizing eyes. Even if they are in a good mental state, their legs are already starting to tremble.
Apart from Shen Xingluo, Qin Zheng and Yu Heting were also on the list, and the top ten Chinese sub-prisoners accounted for five places.
The emperor smiled slightly and slowly asked questions for His Highness's people to answer one by one.
Some people are so nervous that they can’t express themselves with words, and they don’t even know what they said. Some people talk eloquently and respond fluently.
Among the ten people, Shen Xingluo's unexpectedly calm and neither humble nor overbearing tone attracted everyone's attention. Even Prime Minister Zhou's expression showed a bit of thoughtfulness and surprise. Mr. Jiang stood aside. He was excited and amazed.
The palace examination will not be announced on the spot, and the ten people will soon be sent out of the main hall by the eunuch again.
"My beloved sirs, do you have any opinion on Yijia?"
The emperor's question seemed to be unconcerned, but his tone revealed a bit of unquestionable majesty.
Everyone, headed by Prime Minister Zhou, put forward several names one after another, and they praised each other. They were all members of the Imperial College. Only Jiang Lao and the other three had different opinions. Apart from Shen Xingluo, the names of Qin Zheng and Yu Heting were also mentioned. Mentioned once or twice.
"Shen Zijing?"
Xiang Zhou said casually, "Master Jiang's candidate is too young. Officialdom is not an academy where you only study all day long. It is undeniable that Shen Zijing is indeed talented. But at the same time, he lacks experience. I think a local official position is more suitable for him.”
Lack of experience, local official position.
I have expressed my opinions clearly in just eight words, but in fact, in the scientific examination, the candidates who can watch from the outside can't even get into the second grade.
The other officials were slightly startled when they heard this, and then thought it was natural.
Mr. Jiang chuckled softly, "I'm afraid Prime Minister Zhou may have looked to the left this time."
