The emperor smiled lightly and said: "Today's palace test I am very relieved, not only Gu Jingyun is talented and far-sighted, but also Xu Jiuyan's words are sharp and unique, Huang Gonghua has thought for a long time, and those who can pass the test and enter the palace test are not ordinary people, my great Chu can win you Waiting for good candidates is really a blessing to the great Chu, and my Li family. Because I am very happy today, I allow the first three of you to mention what kind of official positions you want. Jing Yun, you are the champion, you come first. "

   All the examinees understood, they felt a lot better, and the eyes looking at Gu Jingyun were much less sharp.

   It turns out that the top three have already been confirmed. It is estimated that the results of the palace examination will be out soon. No wonder His Majesty will ask about the official appointment at this time, so it should be regarded as a small talk.

   And the ministers standing below the emperor wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads in unison. The budding candidates don't know, don't they know that these old ministers don't know, the emperor must be willful again.

   The examiners who had taken up their rice bowls and planned to use lunch quickly and uniformly dropped their bowls when the emperor asked about Gu Jingyun's appointment to the officials, and quickly picked up the test papers and read them.

The clerk on the    side quickly calculates the scores based on their scores, and combines them with the results of the general examination to calculate the final score.

Fortunately, there were only a few remaining exam papers, and everyone worked together to read them quickly. The chief examiner took advantage of the gap between the emperor's words and took the three exam papers forward, hurriedly knelt down in front of Gu Jingyun and said: " Please, Your Majesty, choose the top three."

  The emperor also knew that he was too impatient. Although he was a little guilty, he was still confident on his face. He chose Gu Jingyun's test paper first and said, "The first name should be Gu Jingyun, Huang Gonghua is the second best, and Xu Jiuyan is the third flower."

Out of the corner of the emperor's eyes, the emperor glanced at the examiners who were still working hard, and his heart was even more empty. He coughed and said, "Today, I am very relieved. Let's all come and see the top three articles together."

  The emperor picked up Xu Jiuyan's article and handed it to Director Su, calling him by name: "Take it to Xu Shilang, let him read it, I remember that Xu Jiuyan is his nephew?"

   Xu Shilang came out, and said with honor: "Back to your majesty, Jiuyan is the nephew of the minister."

   He took the test paper with both hands, opened the test paper with bright eyes, and recited in cadence.

  Xu Jiuyan has few talents and names, and he learned from the great Confucian scholar Yan. Needless to say, his literary talent is worthy of the name of Tanhua.

   It's just that the third-ranked article is so good, how should the second and top picks be so good?

  Originally, because of the first three who missed out, the arrogant sons of heaven immediately recovered from their loss and looked at the emperor in the hall with bright eyes.

  The emperor lived up to their expectations. After reading Tanhua's article, he chose Huang Gonghua's article to Peng Dan, and said with a smile, "Peng Aiqing will read the second-rank article by Huang Banghua."

  Peng Dan had already taken a fancy to Huang Gonghua, smiled slightly when he heard this, and stepped forward to take his test paper.

  If Xu Jiuyan's essays are gorgeous and sharp like a sharp knife, then Huang Gonghua's essays are like a rock that can't fall down, calm and atmospheric, with far-reaching vision because he stands on the top of a mountain.

   His choice of words and sentences lacked the piling up of gorgeous words, but it was very stable and heavy, not to mention the candidates, but the ministers who stood under them all nodded, and their favor for Huang Gonghua skyrocketed.

  Young people are more aggressive and appear youthful, but they have been officials for many years, but they prefer calm and meaningful talents. Huang Gonghua is obviously very appetizing to them.

   All the candidates were amazed in their hearts, it really is someone who is outside of people, and there is heaven outside of heaven.

   Everyone stared at the emperor invariably, wondering how good Gu Jingyun's article was?

The    emperor picked up Gu Jingyun's article, gave it to Li An after thinking about it, and smiled lightly: "I know that you two are very close friends, so you can read his article."

  Li Anxin danced in the drama, and went forward to take the test paper with some trepidation.

   The fourth prince raised his lips sarcastically, and looked at Li An with gloomy eyes.

Li An stood in the middle of the hall. As soon as he looked up, he saw Gu Jingyun's quiet eyes. He was calm. Since the emperor's grandfather named Gu Jingyun as the champion, he obviously didn't like him. A column is pretty good.

  Think about Wei Cong.

   Ang Lee thought about this, opened the test paper and glanced at it, and then began to read aloud.

   After reading the third sentence, Li An sank his heart and devoted himself to the test paper.

   The people in the hall couldn't help but lift their spirits, and the examiner on the side couldn't help but pick up the corners of their mouths. This is the number one recognized by all their examiners. How could the article be bad?

  Xu Jiuyan is a sharp knife, Huang Gonghua is a rock, and Gu Jingyun is the sea, an all-encompassing and boundless sea.

When it comes to taxation, no one can compare to Gu Jingyun, because he has a great-grandfather who was a patriarch of the three dynasties and a grandfather. This old man has left behind a lot of manuscripts, in addition to his travels and inspections. The most are various worries, opinions and suggestions related to people's livelihood and national land.

   He also has an old uncle in the former pavilion who is a teacher. Since he was a child, his thoughts and thoughts are naturally deeper and more comprehensive than others.

   Finally, he has a partner and wife who is educated in the 21st century and has seen various tax policies in history.

   His brain hole continues to open up and expand with Li Baolu's brain hole. How can you and other mortals be able to compare?

Fortunately, he knows that what suits the current situation is the best, so he did not mention shocking proposals such as abolishing the agricultural tax in the volume. Instead, he improved the tax mechanism based on the current national conditions, and explained the advantages and disadvantages of this mechanism. He followed this mechanism to formulate a brand new tax system, indicating the extent of the national strength and the national conditions when it can be implemented...

  Li An was only halfway through, when there was an uproar in the hall, and the candidates even looked at Gu Jingyun with a look of evildoers.

   Is this really his own test paper? Even Peng Shoufu couldn't make a tax system by himself. It's better to improve the existing tax system first and then change it...

This is like when adults give everyone a piece of plasticine to play with, and ask everyone to make a base for the house. While the children are chatting about how to make a base, a child has already built a house by himself while everyone is discussing, and there are various kinds of houses in it. Fully furnished, the home is well constructed and sturdy…

   If he is not cheating, he is a monster!

   This is the idea of ​​all candidates.

   Li An also broke out in a cold sweat while thinking about it. Gu Jingyun's edge is too revealing, and Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng!

   He looked at Gu Jingyun with some concern.

Gu Jingyun glanced back at him calmly, then looked at the emperor on the dragon chair, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, he did not expect the emperor to read their articles aloud in the palace, but it was more beneficial to what he was going to do next, he was happy Incomparable.

   An examiner came forward with the roster in his hand, leaned into the examiner's ear and said a few words. The examiner took the roster in his hand and stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the results of the palace exam have been counted."

   All the candidates who were still immersed in Gu Jingyun's article but couldn't recover, woke up agitatedly and looked at the roster in the examiner's hand with bright eyes.

  The emperor waved his hand and let him read it in court.

   This year, 382 candidates will be selected. Unless the candidates lose their temper in the palace or the examination papers are really unsightly, they will generally be selected. Therefore, the 382 candidates in this palace test are all on the list.

   It only took more than half an hour after reading the names of the three hundred and eighty-two people, and the examinees who were kneeling at the bottom were a little excited and dazed.

   A lifelong ambition is finally possible.

   If it wasn't for the reason that they still had the pressure, and they went through the township examination and the general examination, everyone would almost lose their temper.

  The emperor gave everyone half an hour to ease their emotions, and then looked at Gu Jingyun again, "Jingyun, what official position do you want?"

  Everyone saw the emperor smiling and felt that he was not as faint as he was rumored to be. He seemed to be very talkative, right?

   But the ministers who were familiar with the emperor and Gu Jingyun only saw Shen Su in the emperor's eyes. This is not a joke, Gu Jingyun's request will involve his future.

   Gu Jingyun glanced at his left and right back, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, let Xu Tanhua and Huang Bangyan talk first."

  Xu Jiuyan frowned slightly and looked at Gu Jingyun unhappily.

The emperor nodded slightly and asked, "Huang Gonghua, Xu Jiuyan, what kind of official position do you want?"

  Huang Gonghua and Xu Jiuyan looked at each other, got up and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this minister thinks of the Hanlin Academy first."

   This is a common practice. The top three can directly serve in the Hanlin Academy, and the second-class Jinshi needs to be re-examined.

   Huang Gonghua and Xu Jiuyan have already noticed that the situation is different, how can they dare to ask for something else?

   Just hope to get out of this strange atmosphere quickly.

  The emperor nodded slightly and said, "Grant Huang Gonghua, Xu Jiuyan sixth grade editing."

   Huang Gonghua and Xu Jiuyan's eyes lit up, and they thanked them excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

  According to the usual practice, the champion of the new division is awarded the sixth-rank editor, and the second and third flowers are awarded the seventh-rank Hanlin officer. If you are lucky, you can be promoted to the sixth-rank after two years, and now they are directly awarded the sixth-rank officer.

  The emperor smiled and nodded, "You two must serve the country diligently in the future, and don't let down my expectations for you."

   "I respect your Majesty's will."

The Emperor    then looked at Gu Jingyun.

  The two quietly retreated, feeling relieved after they had withdrawn from their aura, and then they became strange again.

   At first, they thought that the emperor asked this question because he liked to appreciate Gu Jingyun's talent and wanted him to step up and down, but the atmosphere at the scene seemed a little wrong.

   noticed that there was a lot of people who were wrong, so the needle drop could be heard in Nuoda's palace, it was extremely quiet, and everyone looked at Gu Jingyun openly or secretly.

  Gu Jingyun didn't flinch, got up and knelt down, raised his head slightly and smiled at the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the ideal that this minister told you?"

  The emperor was silent.

"Although I have never seen my grandfather, I yearn for it. My wish is to fill the world with peaches and plums, but I have no grandfather, so I can't give up fame and fortune. I am greedy. Today, Your Majesty asked me what official position I want, and I will do it. Dare to ask Your Majesty to fulfill the two ideals of the minister."

  The emperor looked at him, his heart was sour and astringent, he nodded and said, "You say it."

   "I ask Your Majesty to give me a lecturer for the fourth grade of the Hanlin."

   As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the whole hall, and even Peng Dan, who had always been indifferent to his anger and anger, couldn't help but look at Gu Jingyun in surprise, looking at him like a madman.

   A smile flashed in the emperor's eyes, and then he looked at him with incomparable complexity, he is really a child raised by Junde!

   "What about another ideal?" The emperor asked softly: "The four-rank servant is to satisfy the fame and fortune that you can't let go, so how do you want me to help you fill the world with peach and plum?"

"Your Majesty please preside over the apprenticeship ceremony for the minister and the grandson." Gu Jingyun raised his head and said, "Before the minister did not participate in the general examination, His Royal Highness had promised the minister that if the minister could pass the top three in the palace examination, he would let the grandson worship the minister. as a teacher."

   This time was even more shocking than the previous request. There was a buzzing discussion in the hall. Everyone looked at Gu Jingyun with a crazy look, and some people even regarded Gu Jingyun as a dead person.
