    At the gate of the Imperial Palace in the capital, Liu Jin stood with many scholars, waiting to enter the palace to take the palace examination.

    Although Liu Jin also entered the palace once, it was only Zhu Houzhao who brought him in, and his identity was just a commoner, but now it is different.

    He was a scholar of Jinke and came to the palace to take the palace examination. Regardless of whether he did well or not, according to past practice, Liu Jin was considered to have bought into the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy.

    If you do well in the palace examination and get into the top few, the next step is to enter the Hanlin Academy. After a few years in the Hanlin Academy, you can rise to the top, and if nothing happens, you can basically reach the level of the six departments and nine ministers.

    Of course, if you get in the middle of the exam, not too good, and can't get into the Hanlin Academy, you can still work in the Sixth Ministry, become a proper Beijing official, and become an official such as the director of a certain ministry. Generally speaking, it is a place with a bright future. Of course,  , if you do not enter the Imperial Academy, your future promotion space will be limited, and non-Hanlin candidates cannot join the cabinet. This is basically an unwritten rule.

    If you don¡¯t do well in the exam and get into the bottom of the second-class or third-class rankings, then don¡¯t worry, at least you will have the opportunity to become an expatriate and serve as a local official.

    Although the starting point is relatively low at the beginning, maybe a minor official of the eighth or ninth rank, he is generally promoted very quickly. After working for a few years, he can be promoted to a county magistrate or something like that. After a few more years of working as a county magistrate, he will be  Able to be promoted quickly.

    Generally speaking, as long as you can pass the general examination and participate in the palace examination to become the emperor's disciple, you will have a bright future, especially those who are ranked first and second.

    First, he went to the Hanlin Academy to stay for two or three years, where dozens or hundreds of people worked together to repair and compile books, or to go to the Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace to correct calligraphy and proofreading, etc., all of which were for free.  Once a vacancy becomes available, it can be filled immediately, and promotions are super fast. Many people can be promoted to the position of Minister of the Sixth Ministry or Minister in just a dozen years.

    The imperial examination is held every three years. There are more than a hundred Jinshi admitted from the entire Ming Dynasty. Naturally, all of them are very valuable and have a bright future. All the famous civil servants in the history of the Ming Dynasty also passed this imperial examination.  Selected in the exam.

    So at this time, the fellow scholars around Liu Jin were all high-spirited and had a spring breeze on their faces. They had slowly grown from a book boy to today. Everyone had suffered countless hardships for this.

    Now, finally, all the hardships have come to an end, and I have successfully realized the carp leaping over the dragon's gate, and realized the highest ideal of a scholar, to be a farmer in the morning, and to ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening.

    "Father, have you seen it?"

    Tang Yin was wearing a brand-new scholar's uniform. Looking at the group of ministers in front of him who kept walking inside, he couldn't help but ask his deceased father in his heart.

    Tang Yin¡¯s family background was not that good. His father ran a tavern and his family was in decline. Therefore, his father had very high demands on him since he was a child, hoping that he could pass the imperial examination and shine brightly.

    Tang Yin¡¯s family was actually very glorious. His ancestor was Tang Hui, a former general of Lianglingjiang River. Tang Hui¡¯s grandson Tang Yao was the prefect of Jinchang. Later, Tang Yao¡¯s son Tang Bao was named the Duke of Jinchang due to his meritorious service.

    Later, Tang Bao's grandson Tang Jian followed Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to join the army and was granted the title of Duke of Ju. He was one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. This shows that the Tang family was also very impressive in the past. Some people were granted the title of Duke of Ju and were extremely prominent.

    However, by the time of the Song Dynasty, the Tang family did not send many outstanding people abroad. They only produced minor officials such as censors and military officials. After all, they were still a family of officials.

    By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the Tang family was completely in decline. There were no more talented people, and no one was an official or general.

    Because of this, his father was very strict with Tang Yin. Tang Yin has been famous as a child prodigy since he was a child, and he learned everything very quickly.

    A few years ago, Tang Yin¡¯s father, mother, first wife, son, etc. left one after another, which was a big blow to Tang Yin, so he also placed his hope on the imperial examination to revitalize his family.

    Now he has finally passed the Jinshi examination as he wished, fulfilling his father's high hopes for him.

    "Finally passed the exam~"

    Similar to Tang Yin, young classmate Wang Shouren was also filled with emotions at this time. His father was the number one scholar and he could be said to be born extraordinary. His mother was pregnant with him for fourteen months before giving birth to him. Her mother dreamed of gods before giving birth to him.  Beautifully dressed in jade, the clouds advocated that a naked child fell from the sky, so Wang Shouren was called Wang Yun at first.

    ??To put it simply, he was born into a great person, and when he was born, he was like a saint. There was auspiciousness coming from the sky, and the great person was not good enough.

    He is indeed young and promising,He began to attend private school at the age of two. At the age of fifteen, he wrote to the emperor many times, offering advice to quell the peasant uprising. At the age of fifteen, he dared to travel throughout the Ming Dynasty, and even dared to go beyond the Great Wall.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    However, he failed repeatedly in the general examination. When he failed the first time, Li Dongyang said, "If he fails this time, he will definitely win the first prize in the next imperial examination."

    But next time he took the entrance examination again, he still failed, and he suddenly felt a lot of pressure. His father was the number one scholar, and he was said to be the number one scholar by big guys like Li Dongyang, but he failed the exam twice, so that  Being laughed at.

    Now, he is just twenty-eight years old this year. He took the exam for the third time and finally passed it. He was relieved and would not be laughed at anymore. The words of this tiger father and son were very harsh.

    It can be said that everyone present is similar to Tang Yin and Wang Shouren. Everyone looked at the courtiers entering the palace in front and felt a lot.

    ¡°Well, of course, this has to exclude Liu Jinlai.

    Liu Jin has a golden finger, and he passed the imperial examination while sleeping. He has never experienced the difficulty of the imperial examination in this era, and he doesn't know what his status means now. At this moment, he feels that the strict system of ancient times is really  So inhumane.

    He has been waiting here for more than an hour. Standing here, he can neither walk around casually nor whisper to each other. He even has to stand straight and have a certain appearance.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????

    "Oh, did you fail the test on purpose? If you go to morning court every day in the future and stand up for morning court, you will definitely collapse."

    Thinking of going to the morning court, Liu Jin looked even more sad. He got up at midnight every day and waited here. He stood still for an hour or two before going to the morning court. Thinking about it, he felt that this was not something human beings do.  .

    Finally, after waiting until Liu Jin¡¯s legs were numb, it was time for the new scholars to enter the palace to take the imperial examination.

    The place for the palace examination is arranged in the Taihe Palace Square in front of the Jinluan Palace. At this time, the square is surrounded by the big bosses of the dynasty. On the dragon steps, Emperor Hongzhi is also sitting on his dragon chair with a carefree attitude.

    After a bustling ceremony, it was finally time for the exam. The emperor himself set the questions for the palace exam. Of course, sometimes the emperor was lazy and would send an important minister to do it for him.

    Emperor Hongzhi is a diligent emperor, and he attaches great importance to this triennial ethics ceremony. Naturally, he cannot be lazy.

    Emperor Hongzhi's eyes swept around Liu Jin and others, and soon locked on Liu Jin sitting in the front row, and he couldn't help but smile.

    "What question should I ask?"

    Emperor Hongzhi thought about it in his mind. In the palace examination, the emperor set the questions and the emperor took the test, so everyone was called the disciples of the emperor. However, the questions set by the emperor were usually related to current affairs and politics, and the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics were rarely published. After all, what the emperor needed was  Talents who can govern the country, not nerds who can only read rotten books.

    "Yes~"

    Soon, Emperor Hongzhi thought of something, picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the paper.

    Why An Xinan~

    This is the question for this imperial examination. It is also based on current affairs and politics. Since the Ming Dynasty, the southwest has been unstable. The chieftains in the southwest often rebelled, and sometimes they even became very serious.

    Now that the border troubles in the north have been temporarily put to rest due to the emergence of cement, Emperor Hongzhi only has the chieftain affairs in the southwestern region on his mind.

    Recently, another piece of bad news came from Guizhou. The female chieftain Milu rebelled again because she had a conflict with her husband. The uproar caused no peace in Guizhou, which gave Emperor Hongzhi a headache.

    The steep mountain roads in the Yunnan-Guizhou region are not suitable for large-scale battles at all. Even if the imperial court sends millions of soldiers to the Yunnan-Guizhou region, it will be in vain. There is nothing that can be done against these chieftains who are hidden deep in the mountains and forests and high mountains.

    Emperors of all dynasties have been very troubled by the affairs in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, and they have never been able to come up with a good solution.

    Now Emperor Hongzhi is also taking this matter to test Liu Jin and other new scholars. He wants to see what insights they can come up with. Of course, the main purpose is to see what good methods Liu Jin, a disciple of an expert, can come up with in this regard.  .

    "Why settle in the southwest?"

    Soon, everyone saw the question asked by Emperor Hongzhi.

    The ministers in the court suddenly began to think about it one by one. The emperor's question was obviously not random. The emperor was worried about things in the southwest. Naturally, they ministers also had to worry about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor.

    As for Tang Bohu, Lun Wenxu, Liu Long, and Fengxi, they all frowned and began to carefully figure out Emperor Hongzhi's intention of asking this question, and then thought about how to answer it.

    This kind of test question must be very difficult for those nerds who study hard. You can't study hard, but you still have to apply what you have learned.

    "Why settle in the southwest?"

    Liu Jin looked at the test question, thought about it carefully, picked up the pen and started writing. The beginning was the four characters "change the soil and return to the current".  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?, the emperor's topic was obviously not random.
