Chapter 335: First place, Wang Wanqing!
The quota for the imperial examination was handed over to the imperial examination. This time, Xiao Li asked Song Junzhan to arrange two rounds of screening in advance. Tens of thousands of people registered, but just like the literati in Yizhou, it had a lot of water, and in fact, there were only one thousand people in the end.
Xiao Li is not so eager for talent now, so she doesn’t care so much about how many outstanding talents there are. The only thing she wants to know is how many women there are.
The people in the court could more or less guess the empress's thoughts, so they specially named the women's quota.
This time it was no longer Wang Yizhu crossing the single-plank bridge alone.
In addition to Wang Wanqing who Xiao Li clicked in, there were twenty female names.
The older one is thirty-seven, and the younger one is as old as Wang Wanqing, and is only in his early twenties.
Looking through the resume, they came from merchant families, declining families, and poor scholarly families. They all married, some lost their fathers, some divorced, and of course, some were still beautiful, such as Qiao Ruyan.
Xiao Li looked through the final review of the information. The top one was Song Junzhan's name. These people were all reviewed and sent to him.
Just then, Song Junzhan walked in.
"Your Majesty."
The eyes fell on the list in her hands and instantly understood what she was looking at: "There are a total of 130 women who signed up this year. I personally screened them, never favoritism or suppression, and achieved absolute fairness, and only left behind These twenty people."
He knew that the empress wanted a woman to be an official, but he understood His Majesty that the premise for a woman to be an official must be ability, wisdom and perseverance.
The empress took care of women, but her court did not raise waste.
She asked men and women to stand together in the court, not to suppress men, but to erect the backbone of women.
So he gave these women fairness and allowed them to reach the end with their own abilities.
Xiao Li did not doubt him, closed the list and asked casually.
"You were obsessed with the imperial examination at the time, did you ever think that women would also step on the imperial examination and enter the court?"
Song Junzhan said bluntly: "No."
His eyes fell on Xiao Li: "It's like my ministers didn't expect that the monarch he was serving in the end would be an empress."
When he realized Xiao Li's identity, he thought about asking the princess to help persuade the previous emperor. He never thought that the princess could become the emperor.
But Xiao Li turned everything into possibility.
He accepted Xiao Li as emperor because of her strength. Similarly, if a woman had the ability, why could not enter the court and become an official?
Of course, Xiao Li is the only and necessary premise. If it weren't for the shock she gave him, he wouldn't have thought like this.
Compared to these, it is actually more common for him to have feelings for the empress.
She is so powerful and beautiful, and he has followed her to this day, admired, impressed, and surrendered, and wished to give everything. It would be strange if he had no feelings.
The gentle eyes fell on Xiao Li, and under the calm eyes were extremely surging emotions.
Now he is standing in this position, trusted by His Majesty, staying with His Majesty, and creating a dynasty with her and leaving history together. In fact, he is very, very lucky.
But people's hearts are always greedy. As long as you see a little possibility, this greedy heart will surge like a vine, swallowing reason all the time.
——
At the beginning of the imperial examination, no one of the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice should be lazy and all of them came out to correct the papers.
It is still the previous system, and it is impossible to cheat in public. There is no missed question, and it is absolutely fair and just.
Although this process lasts for three days, it lasts for three months.
The final result came out, and there were two women in the top ten, and ten women in the top 100, and the remaining nine people had the lowest rankings within 300, all of them were left.
The top ten finally voted in the form of blind votes.
Finally, the first place was selected, and the moment the name was revealed, Xiao Li smiled.
"First place, Wang Wanqing!"
Among the crowd, Wang Wanqing was sent out by the stars and the moon, and a generous gift was given.
"My minister Wang Wanqing, pay homage to Your Majesty." Although he had tried his best to show his steadily, the corners of his mouth were really hard to suppress. She finally stood in front of His Holiness.
The empress raised her hand and said, "Flat."
Xiao Li had selfish intentions, but without favoritism, Wang Wanqing finally grew up to what she expected.
"Second place, Jiang Zhou!"
Jiang Zhou grinned and saluted.
"My name Jiang Zhou, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Although he has a few fewer votes than the female devil, it is not much different at all. In the future, Jiang Zhou will be able to shine his ancestors.
He didn't choose an official on his own initiative, but he was quite addicted to being an official of the empress for a while.
For his not-so-good father and for the nervous brother who doesn’t know where he is, he is determined to be the official!
"Third place, Xin Yuan!"
"Fourth place, Li Yunhao!"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"Tenth place, Qiao Ruyan!"
According to the previous rules, the rankings were released, the horses were paraded, and then the Golden Palace was awarded the title.
Wang Wanqing was the top scholar and was originally a sixth-rank official position, but because of the contributions he made before, the initial official position was the fifth-rank official position.
Jiang Zhou also made contributions first and was promoted to the sixth grade.
Although he was named a temporary doctor of the Ministry of Rites before, his temporary official position was different from now. It seemed to be a demotion, but in fact it was a promotion.
The third place is the previous seventh-rank editor, and the rest are awarded the seventh-rank official positions according to the previous rules.
Then training is of course essential, and the rest will be rolled up according to the previous rules.
This time, Xiao Li won’t take action. No one knows training and knows more about the current officials in the court.
A group of "old" officials looked at the young new officials and smiled so lovingly.
Welcome to the North Korea, let’s roll up together.
Let you also taste the suffocation given by the empress and experience the despair of being on the pirate ship but not getting off.
Except for Wang Wanqing who was already inside and Jiang Zhou who had a clear understanding of the trick, others didn't know that their nightmare was about to begin.
Of course, before being turned into a officialdom, they could enjoy a banquet for the empress with comfort.
The top is the empress, and the front is the third-rank or above officials. The top ten have the chance to sit with a group of big shots, and the rest are in the back row according to the ranking.
With Wang Yizhu's existence, Wang Wanqing and Qiao Ruyan are not so special.
Wang Wanqing has been following the Empress and has also been in the six divisions before. Her abilities are obvious to everyone. To be honest, it is not surprising that Wang Wanqing can be the top scorer at all.
They had seen Wang Wanqing's ability long ago, and they also agreed that Wang Wanqing was destined to be an official in the same dynasty as them, which was at most a matter of ranking.
Although Qiao Ruyan came from afar, her husband Han Bin was from the Empress and Princess's Mansion, and she was a half-acquaintance.
In addition, Qiao Ruyan is indeed capable, so she is naturally blameless.
To this day, there will be no more remarks in the court that the hen is in charge of the Chen Dynasty and the woman becomes an official and turns against Tiangang.
This is the benefit of Xiao Li killing through the court and reshaping the extraordinary principles.
Without those stubborn, greedy and pedantic old antiques, young people's ability to accept will be much better.
