The next day, Zhao Bing got the answer. After paying homage to the empress dowager, Su Lan invited the queen and several empresses back to Zhiyuantang. He also understood that these were all teachers he found. Looking at the few people, Chen Shu, who doesn't like reading the most, may even read more than her, let alone the queen waited for a few people. But it was embarrassing to let his wife be a teacher. Fortunately, he didn't leave it outside, but he was all thrown away at home, which made him raise his head in front of his wives in the future.

"It's a little too small, so let's go to the pavilion outside!" Zhiyuan Hall is not large in area. In addition to his wives, there are also maids accompanying him. They sat in the tea room and seemed very cramped, so he suggested,

"Well, that's fine. The weather is a bit gloomy today, and the hall is also stuffy!" Wu Xi nodded and said.

"In this way, I will arrange the pavilions on all sides, and the officials and the ladies will move to the pavilion later!" Su Lan said with a slight politeness.

"Okay, very good!" Zhao Bing stared at Su Lan and said angrily. You should know that this is the case, you might as well spend some effort to "study yourself" and get such a room of people to let him see it.

"I obey the order!" Su Lan pretended not to see it, crossed her hands and retreated, leading people to set up the venue.

"The official family, let me wait for me to sit like this, not even a cup of tea. Is there a ritual of treating guests?" Seeing so many people staring at each other with big eyes, Chen Shu broke the silence and said angrily.

"Haha, are you guests? There are so many etiquettes at home. I want to drink tea and pour it yourself. What do I want to eat to prepare the kitchen? Do you still want me to pour tea for you?" Zhao Bing smiled with his neck tilted.

"Is the official family scolded by his master again? There is no place to spread evil fire?" Chen Shu also tilted her head.

"Concubine, why are the officials scolded again?" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Sanniang asked anxiously.

"It's not that the official family insisted on expeditioning in person and went to the sea to intercept the Goryeo naval army, but was stopped by the governor Ying and Governor Jiang. The queen mother asked us to take good care of the official family and not let him run out secretly again!" Chen Shuyan said.

"The official family is different now, so you must not be willful and do it anymore!" Wu Xi also quickly persuaded after hearing this.

"Men should go to the battlefield, and only cowards will die of old age at home!" Li Sanniang didn't think so, and she glanced at them.

"Yes, Sanniang is right. A man who has never been on the battlefield is not a real man!" Zhao Bing pulled Li Sanniang over and asked her to sit beside him, put his hand on his waist and smiled.

"Official family, don't do this..." Li Sanniang struggled for a few times and got rid of the little emperor, and said with a blushing face.

"The official family is going to elope with Concubine Shu, leaving us behind!" Chen Shu said with a resentful look when she saw this.

"How could the official family be willing to let the concubine who is as beautiful as a flower, run away? She will take you with her even if she leaves!" Wu Xi patted Chen Shu and comforted.

"Will the official family really run away from the palace?" Chen Concubine Wang Yu asked quietly.

"Of course, the government has been like this since childhood. If he is unhappy, he will sneak out of the palace. Oh, when he was in Guangzhou, the government escaped from everyone and sneak out of the palace, which made Ying Governor lead the army to search the city before he found him back!" Chen Shu glanced at the little emperor and said.

"No, I obviously went back by myself, and it was not as lively as you said!" Zhao Bing glared back and said.

"The official family lied to me. At that time, I was accompanying my father to recuperate in the commander's mansion. All of them were seen with my own eyes, so I would not be wrong." Chen Shu said without any weakness.

"Hmph, you were forcibly sent home by Shangshu Chen because you repeatedly threatened me, so how could you meet me?" How could Zhao Bing admit defeat and snorted coldly.

"I... I just met!" Chen Shu said without showing any weakness with her neck.

"Imperial Concubine, there are military troops guarding the palace inside and outside the palace city, and there are guard camps following them all the time. Why don't they know when the official family goes out?" Wang Yu still felt incredible and asked curiously.

"Don't mention those guards." Chen Shu said helplessly, "The guard commander Ni is the official who let his head be cut off immediately, and he will not say anything. Chen Dun was even worse before, so it would be good if he didn't instigate the official. The new Xiao Tanzi looked honest, but he also followed the official since childhood, so he told him to go east and never to go west. Think about it, if the official family wanted to go out, they would naturally hide it for him and even assist the official family in leaving the palace. How could he dissuade him!"

"Ah?! The official family is leaving, won't anyone stop him!" Wang Yu said with a sad face after hearing this.

"So Sister Lei must keep the key to the money treasury and never let the official get the money, otherwise he will be gone forever!" Chen Shu turned to Lei Yan and said.

"Imperial Concubine, I can't do it!" Lei Yan waved her hands repeatedly, "You don't know how big the business of the official family is, and there is no need to use a single cent of the treasury in the palace!"

"Oh, how much money can the official family have?" Several people looked at Lei Yan and said.

"Two days ago, the owner of the mansion sent more than 600,000 yuan, saying that it was the monthly income from operating the inn. I only realized that all the inns in Jiangnan were invested by the government, and they would not worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation wherever they went!" Lei Yan said, "The owner of the mansion also said that in two days, the Japanese fleet would return, and at least five million yuan of silver would be put into storage. When the Nanyang fleet returned from trafficking spices in July, the profit would be more than ten times."

"Official family, how many ships are there in the fleet?" Zhang Ping couldn't help asking at this time.

"There are about a thousand or hundreds of ships, and I can't remember them clearly! Anyway, the batch of warships seized last year were almost rotten in the port, and no one wanted them, so I bought them all and did some small business to supplement the family's expenses!" Zhao Bing looked at him with twinkling eyes, staring at him with a secret joy in his heart, and said indifferently.

"The official family is so rich, but he still has to pretend to be poor. I believe it so much that I cheated. I foolishly saved my salary and paid for it for the official family!" Chen Shu said angrily after hearing this.

"Imperial Concubine, but the official family does use it very little, and almost all of it is used for state affairs. This is not deceiving us!" Lei Yan quickly stood up and grabbed Chen Shuyan who was about to rush to death.

"You have leaked all my family today. It's really time to be beaten!" Zhao Bing reached out and slapped Lei Yan on the butt.

"The official family atones for his sins, I don't know what to keep them confidential!" In front of everyone, His Majesty made such ambiguous actions, which made Lei Yan a little panicked and blushed.

"From today on, no word can be revealed to the outside world, otherwise the penny will be lost. Those foreign ministers will try their best to empty the money in the warehouse. Remember!" Zhao Bing said seriously. But his heart was also moved, thinking that he had become so 'lustful', and he actually "teased" the little girl in front of so many people, but then he thought that he was obviously his wife, so what's the harm in touching it!

"I understand!" Lei Yan quickly saluted.

"Recently, the owner of the manor will help you to exchange the money in the warehouse for gold and silver. From now on, you will need to use more copper coins and salt bills to reduce the outflow of gold and silver!" Zhao Bing reminded again.

"I obey the order!"

"Okay, as long as your family knows the matter in the palace, you must not tell me it casually, otherwise it will be trouble or even the root of disaster!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked him to bow to him.

"After saying so much, if the official family wants to sneak out of the palace, we still have no choice!" Wang Yu frowned inappropriately from the side. He had not forgotten this matter yet.

"It's easy to deal with! From today on, our sisters will take turns to Zhiyuan Hall every day, keep an eye on the official house and see how they can run away." Chen Shu said with a straight face, but as soon as she said that she saw the sisters blushing, and suddenly realized something, and her face turned red...

Although Zhao Bing's body contained an uncle's soul, he still had the feelings of a boy in terms of men and women. The women were all young. Although they lived in the palace in the past, they rarely walked around and were afraid of the rules in the palace, and they were still a little distant from each other. However, when they found out that the little emperor was not as dull and vicious as he was when discussing matters, but a big good man, he gradually let go of his reserve and "bullyed" him together. He was no longer as respectful as before, and even Wu Xi teased him a few words from time to time.

After laughing with the girls, Zhao Bing felt that the atmosphere of home was relaxing, rather than being as serious as the court. At this time, the little yellow gate reported that the outside had been arranged and asked His Majesty and the Empress to move to the pavilion on all sides. When they came out of the house, it started drizzling with cows outside, and everyone came along the corridor. This was once where Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou enjoyed dancing on the lake, so the area was naturally not small. There were curtains hanging around, blankets were also laid on the ground, mats were laid, futons were placed on top, and a short table was placed, and some fruits and snacks were placed.

The breeze in the pavilion brought a hint of coolness, making people feel very comfortable. Everyone sat around the table, Zhao Bing sat on the top, and the six girls were sitting at the top according to their identities. At this time, it was mid-spring, and the weather was warming up, and they had already changed into single clothes. He was hugging left and right, and his concentration was greatly reduced. But at least he did not forget that there was still some serious matter today. Wu Xi's family background was related, and everyone recommended her to talk first.

Wu Xi did not refuse too much. She asked a few questions first and then understood that the young emperor's understanding of the imperial examination system was only at a level of only half of understanding. He didn't know much about the details. He started by reciting his thoughts with the establishment of the system.

In the early Song Dynasty, the old system of the Five Dynasties was divided into Jinshi and various subjects. The imperial examination was also "more easier in dynasties". The imperial examination was not abolished. The following month of the establishment of the Song Dynasty, that is, in February of the first year of Jianlong, the first imperial examination was held. It was still held once a year according to the old system of the Five Dynasties. Since the seventh year of Kaibao, the "tribute examination" was held once a year, which gradually became a routine. There is no fixed number of Jinshi, which is generally equivalent to the Later Zhou Dynasty. The number of people admitted to "severe subjects" is usually more than the number of Jinshi in the same subject, which is the so-called "at the beginning of the country, there were more people than Jinshi in various subjects, which was probably the best news of the five seasons."

The first time in the Taizong period, the generals of the Jinshi were ordered to "determine the advantages and disadvantages of the Jinshi to the third grade", which was the first time that the Jinshi was divided into three grades. The positions of the Jinshi were also increased: the first grade was the general and the supervisor, the second grade was the judge of the Dali, and the general judge of various states. The same origin was exempted from the election, and the junior post was the first grade, the first grade was the judge of the Sipuwei. In fact, all Jinshi were divided into three grades, the first grade and the second grade were the Jinshi, and the third grade was the same grade. In the second year of Yongxi, the Jinshi who passed the exam was divided into three grades, and the third grade was the Jinshi. In the third year of Chunhua, the Jinshi was divided into five grades, one, two, and three grades were awarded to the Jinshi, and the fourth and fifth grades were awarded to the Jinshi.

In the fourth year of Jingde, the court promulgated the "New Class of Examination of Jinshi", which completely determined the admission and grade standards based on the test scores. In the fourth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, the "Personal Examination of Jinshi" was promulgated, and a series of regulations were formulated, and the standards for five levels were set. In the fifth year of Tiansheng, the Jinshi was divided into sixth grade, the first grade was first grade, the second grade was first grade, and the sixth grade was fifth grade, and the Jinshi was divided into eighth grade.

Later it evolved into the fifth grade, and the first grade was the first grade. Later, it was determined that the first grade was the Jinshi and the third grade was the Jinshi, the fourth and fifth grades were the same as the Jinshi, and later the fifth grade was the same as the Jinshi. During the Xiaozong period, it was changed to the first grade, the second grade was the Jinshi and the third grade, the fourth grade was the Jinshi, and the fifth grade was the same as the Jinshi.

"These markings and division of armor are the same, and they are all for distinguishing them when they are appointed as officials!" Zhao Bing nodded when he heard this, looking like this.

"The official family, what do you think it is?" Wu Xi was stunned. The emperor didn't even know these basic things and asked in surprise.

"I just thought it was different on the list at the beginning and didn't ask much. Moreover, when the students were admitted in Qiongzhou, the level of those scholars was too low. They randomly selected several awards, and they didn't even have the top scorer or second place. The rest were all admitted to the Imperial College for re-study. Those who failed the exam went to the state school to wait for the next exam, but no one said anything!" Zhao Bing scratched his scalp and said inexplicably.

"The official has been trying hard!" Wu Xi sighed.

"Please ask the queen to answer the doubts!" ​​Zhao Bing said.

"Officials, I first held the exam. After the provincial examination, it was the palace examination. After the palace examination, it was ranked first, second place, and Tanhua. A scholar who scored the first place in the provincial examination, if he found that his name was lower than the top three after the palace examination, if he found that his name was lower than the top three, he could stand up as the palace and raise objections and ask the emperor to rank his name forward." Wu Xi answered.

"Haha, there is such a thing. If they don't say it, how can I know. But this palace examination is just to select talents from the tribute scholars in the re-reflection exam and win the provincial examination, but it may not be possible to not fail the palace examination!" Zhao Bing said with a wry smile, and defended himself for his "idiot" behavior.

"What the officials said is not bad, but in the Renzong Dynasty, there was a scholar named Zhang Yuan who failed the palace examination repeatedly and then enrolled in Xixia. Later, he became the prime minister of Xixia. He gave advice for Xixia, which led to repeated failures in the Xia Dynasty. In order to prevent the accident of the scholars selling their country and surrendering to the enemy, Emperor Renzong issued an edict: All the Jinshis will not be dismissed. Since then, those who participate in the palace examination will definitely win the Jinshis, which will become a system." Wu Xi said with a wry smile.

"Isn't this palace examination a waste of time? Why bother to waste the people and money?" Zhao Bing was speechless. Emperor Renzong was also confused. He could not give up because of the choke and turned the palace examination into a ranking competition.
