The Little Fox Demon Doesn't Want To Have Cubs

36

Early the next morning, all the tributes were led into the palace.

This was the first time in the dynasty that the Holy Majesty no longer presided over the palace examination, and the dragon chair was hung empty in front of the main hall, but no one felt relieved. Prince Jiang Shen's prestige among the people is no less than that of the current emperor.

All the tributes stood quietly on the main hall, each with their heads down, and no one dared to speak.

The position of the Gongshi in the main hall is based on the ranking of the examination. Three people form a row, with the left as the respect. Among the three people at the front of the line, a young man in his twenties stood in the middle.

The young man was wearing a light blue cotton long gown, which had been washed many times, and the original color could no longer be seen. Even in this hall where everyone is nervous and in danger, it seems a bit out of place.

There is no other reason, his clothes are too torn.

It is true that the imperial examinations were popular in Daxing, but if you want to take part in the imperial examinations, you must first be able to read books, and secondly, you must be able to pass the capital.

These two seem simple, but for the real poor students, it is not easy.

Students from poor families can't afford books, lamp oil, and travel expenses to Beijing. I don't know how many people die on the way to Beijing every year to catch the exam.

On the contrary, it is a famous family.

Living a good life since childhood, reading and practicing calligraphy in the rich clothes and jade food, it is logical to obtain fame.

Almost every time the imperial examinations are held, the children of famous families account for the majority.

It is not easy for a student from a poor family to squeeze into the palace examination, let alone get the top few rankings.

The young man's left, right and rear are now full of well-dressed and well-dressed disciples, so naturally he looks a bit abrupt.

So, when Jiang Shen walked into the hall, his eyes fell on him first.

But it was just one more look and then looked away.

Of course, Jiang Shen couldn't sit on the dragon chair, and ignored the chair that the eunuch gave him beside the dragon chair. He just stood in front of the hall and asked the chief examiner, Ge Xueshi, to read out the rules of the palace exam, and began to ask questions.

The topic of the policy question was prepared in advance by Jiang Shen and the Hanlin.

He didn't need to ask questions in person, he only needed to listen to Gong Shi's answers, observe his expression and demeanor, and after comprehensive consideration, he finally decided on the top three.

The order of policy questions is completely random, and whoever's name is clicked will answer on the spot. Jiang Shenzai listened carefully, without saying a word.

"Wen Liangchu." Ge Xueshi clicked on a name.

The young man in the middle of the first row of the hall raised his head.

Jiang Shen has always been interested in Wen Liangchu, the second-placed student in this year's exam. It is said that this person was born in a poor family, and since he was a child, he has determined to obtain fame and fame, and wants to stand out for the poor students all over the world.

The essay he wrote in the exam was very good, even compared with the essay that won the award in the end, it was not much worse.

What made Jiang Shen even more interested was that during these three days, he never showed any intention of being attached to Jiang Shen.
