- On March 13, everyone left the customs.
On the second day, the Chinese candidates rushed to the Ministry of Etiquette to gather and listen to the Minister of Ceremony and Qing Dynasty, who explained to them the process of the next day's palace examination.
The imperial examination was conducted in the Forbidden Palace and was presided over by the emperor himself. Any slight deviation would be a sin of disrespect for the emperor!
At the same time, the officials of Honglu Temple have already arranged the "strategic questions" in the east room of Huangji Hall; Guanglu Temple has arranged 403 test tables neatly in the east and west verandas outside the hall.
There are also Jin Yiwei who display the Lu Book Dharma Driver in front of the Golden Palace. The Jin Yiwei display Zhonghe Shao Le under the eaves of the Golden Palace, and Danqi Da Le under the north corridor of Huangji Gate.

The first auxiliary room of Wenyuan Pavilion is in the room.
After an afternoon of discussion, Mr. Xiaoge and Zhang Juzheng formulated four policy topics.
Although it is said that the emperor, the chief examiner, should draft the questions for the palace examination, since the Zhengde Dynasty, the cabinet has basically drafted four or five questions and then sent them to the emperor to approve one.
Because Li Chunfang had served as the chief examiner of the examination, Chen Yiqin needed to avoid it, so this year's examination questions were decided by Mr. Xu Ge and Mr. Zhang.
Of course, Mr. Xu Ge¡¯s work will be done by Mr. Xiao Ge as usual.
The old chief assistant is already sixty-five after the New Year, and his head hurts from looking for chapters and sentences, and quoting scriptures, and he just has to make the final check.
"Not bad." Xu Jie carefully looked at the topic the two of them had drawn up and took off his tortoiseshell glasses. "Send these four questions to Qianqing Palace."
"Yes, Prime Minister." Zhang Juzheng put the book in his sleeve and was about to leave it when he heard a report from the Zhongshushe people outside:
"Please report to Yuan Fu, Eunuch Teng, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, is here."
"Oh, please." Xu Jie frowned slightly.
The ceremonial supervisor is specially used to check and balance the cabinet. Usually the Secretary of Ceremonies would read the memorials sent by the Secretary of General Affairs for the emperor first, select the important ones and tell them to the emperor, and then send them to the cabinet for approval.
After all, the cabinet is still the emperor¡¯s secretarial agency in name only, not the real prime minister.
The bachelors could not directly approve the memorial. They could only pre-write the reply drafted for the emperor on a small piece of paper called a "ticket" with an ink pen. Then affix the ticket signature to the memorial, and then send the memorial back to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
After the emperor saw that there was no problem, the eunuch Bingbi picked up the red pen and copied it, which was the so-called "praising the red". Finally, the eunuch used the seal to formally form the emperor's will.
Therefore, the relationship between the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies is very delicate.
During the Jiajing Dynasty, both the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies were all vying to flatter the emperor. Apart from having a beard, the bachelor is no different from the eunuch, so the relationship between the two parties is naturally very harmonious.
But in the Longqing Dynasty, the cabinet changed its style. In order to reshape his image, Mr. Xu Ge began to actively distance himself from the emperor, and often protected Yan Guan who attacked the eunuchs.
Teng Xiang, who has a big palm seal, naturally has a lot of opinions about Mr. Xu Ge.
Mr. Xu Ge knew that this old eunuch often spoke ill of himself in front of the emperor. But now he no longer bothers to put down his pretensions to please the lieutenant.
Therefore, the two parties have been in contact with each other for this year.
Teng Xiang suddenly came over today, which naturally made Mr. Xu Ge think a lot.
After a while, Eunuch Teng, dressed in a bright red python suit and a steel fork hat, came in and saluted Xu Jie with his crossed hands without any nonsense.
"Yuan Fu, the All Saints have decreed that he will come up with the questions for tomorrow's palace exam himself."
"Oh?" Xu Jie couldn't help but said, "This matter has always been handled by the cabinet"
"You have already said that you are doing it for me. Long live, you have already worked very hard, so I won't bother you this time."
Teng Xiang stopped talking and left quickly: "Nothing else to do, our family is going back to Qianqing Palace."
"Uncle, I'd like to send Eunuch Teng off to you." The official seal number of the Supervisor of Ceremonies is "Inner Prime Minister". Although Teng Xiang was not very useful, Mr. Xu Ge did not lose his courtesy.
When Zhang Juzheng sent Teng Xiang out, Xu Fan immediately whispered: "Father, something feels wrong."
"What's wrong?" Xu Jie looked at the red clouds outside and suddenly said in his heart, "The sunset is infinitely beautiful."
"This is because we are afraid that we will spread the test questions to others."
Xu Fan¡¯s veins were pulsing in his forehead. He had already promised at least a dozen companies and told them the four questions issued by the cabinet when he got back.
The emperor suddenly came here. Have you considered where to put Mr. Xiaoge¡¯s face?
"Who did you promise again?" As expected, it was Mo Ruofu, who knew his son.
"No one. What's the use of talking about this now?" Xu Fan suppressed his irritation and thought to himself: Why is this year's competition so bad?Good?
"If you don't tell me, how will your father know who to choose?" Xu Jie said quietly.
"Oh?" Xu Fan was overjoyed when he heard this. His father always cherished feathers and never touched any leaves on his body.
¡°It was all his effort to sort out all these messy things.
Now that my father is willing to help, what more questions are there for the exam?
Although my father is only the chief reader in name, as a rule, except for the top ten, he is responsible for all rankings.
Even the top ten were actually selected by Mr. Xu Ge. The emperor just ranked them.
"Since my father is willing to help, it will be much easier to handle." Xu Fan said happily: "My son is a Mi Feng official. I will read their papers tomorrow and tell my father in detail in the evening."
"Yeah." Xu Jie nodded, and suddenly whispered: "You can send favors as you like I guess in the next competition, even if my father wants to help, he won't be able to help."
"Ah?" Xu Fan was stunned when he heard this, and said after a while: "Father, do you really want to retreat bravely?"
?Obviously, this is not the first time that this kind of topic has been discussed between father and son.
"Retreat early, it's annoying to not know how to advance or retreat." Xu Jie said with a self-deprecating smile: "Didn't you see that Eunuch Teng's face is full of His Majesty's impatience with being a father?"
"So what? My father is a veteran who cares about his life, and he is supported by hundreds of officials. If the emperor replaces his father, who will govern the country for him?"
Xu Fan certainly didn¡¯t want to see this scene, because that was also the moment when he lost his power.
"You always have to retreat. When Mr. Yan Ge is over 80 years old, he still won't want to leave? It's just a joke."
Xu Jie shook his head and said unmoved: "I will talk to His Majesty later and tell him not to worry. In two years at most, when he has learned how to be an emperor, it will be time for me, an old minister who cares about life, to retire and return home."
"" Xu Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. There is no need to waste time talking about things that will happen in two years' time. Maybe in a year and a half, the old man himself will change his mind.
He picked up the four test questions on the table, took a look at them, crushed them up and threw them into the wastebasket.

In that room, Zhang Juzheng sent Teng Xiang out of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Before he came up to carry his father-in-law, Eunuch Teng suddenly glanced at him.
Zhang Juzheng nodded slightly and watched his sedan disappear into the dim dusk.
In fact, Teng Xiang doesn¡¯t need to add any unnecessary extravagance. Seeing his visit, Zhang Juzheng knew that Emperor Longqing had listened to his suggestion - to use tomorrow's imperial examination to gather a group of fresh blood willing to safeguard the imperial power!
But obviously, this is contrary to Mr. Xu Ge¡¯s interests.
Therefore, Your Majesty will have a showdown with Yuan Fu in the imperial examination tomorrow.
Mr. Zhang gently stroked his silky long beard, wondering what kind of tricks His Majesty would use
Thinking about it, I still have some small expectations.
