Perhaps no one believed it. Since he was promoted to Taifu and general commander, Liu Chun found that his affairs were much less. Yes, he only needed to focus on a few key government affairs now.

First, the construction of railways, which has been complicated by many people; second, the issue of agricultural production increases, so there are more people involved, almost all officials from top to bottom are included.

As for the third government matter, it is to rectify the royal family.

Now it seems to be quite effective.

All the children of the royal family were sent to the army and received training.

Except for those with special talents, all the children of the royal family will receive martial arts training. After passing the assessment, they will lead their troops out. They do not want to be invincible, but only want to be able to do a good job in military affairs. At that time, the court will arrange fiefs for them so that they will not be beaten to tears by the natives.

These things took up most of the energy of the ministers. Many people were busy from morning to night and had to work overtime in the middle of the night, so they had no time to think about anything else.

There is no doubt that Liu Chun hoped so much. However, in his busy schedule, he actually forgot one big thing, that is, this year's imperial examination.

"I heard that there are also son-in-laws under the list, which is very lively. Follow me!" Princess Lan Xin pulled Tang Sai'er and said with a smile: "How about I'll grab a good-looking son-in-law for you?"

Tang Sai'er's face turned slightly red, "Princess is joking. I am a humble person, so how can I be worthy of being a Jinshi? Anyone who can pass the imperial examination is the Wenqu star in the sky, which is extraordinary!"

"Oh?" Lan Xin was shocked, "Are they all Wenquxing? How many people will there be in that subject?"

"At least two or three hundred, and at least one or two hundred!"

"So many? I don't believe that there are so many Wenqu stars in heaven!"

Tang Sai'er burst into laughter, "Just say that, it seems that his identity is noble!"

"No matter how noble it is, he is a minister. At that time, I will tell His Highness the Crown Prince that he will help you to match the match." Lan Xin was quite enthusiastic, and she was very stance that she would never give up if she failed.

She took Tang Sai'er to see the announcement of the list of the Ministry of Rites. After going out, she happened to meet Princess Baoqing who was rushing to come.

Since he came with King Yi several times, Baoqing has been here often.

Although Xu Miaoyun took good care of her, the palace was still too deserted and there were many rules, so it was far less free than outside.

Baoqing heard that he was going to the Ministry of Rites to see the results, so she became interested.

"I have heard that I have to parade and praise the officials after passing the exam, which is very lively!"

Baoqing got on the carriage and went to the Ministry of Rites with Lan Xin. Along the way, they were chatting! Then Baoqing said, "Brother Yu Qian is so knowledgeable. He will be the first-class disciple of the Taifu. He will also end in a few years. He will probably be the top scholar."

Lan Xin said, "How come I heard that Tanhualang is actually better!"

Baoqing was not convinced, "Tanhua is the third place!"

"But Tanhua looks beautiful!"

"Tanhua is the editor of Hanlin, who is lower than the top scorer."

"Tanhua is beautiful!"

"Walking in the middle when the top scholar was praised!" Baoqing said with his cheeks puffed.

Lan Xin still shrugged, "So what? Put three people together, don't you still stare at the beautiful one!"

"You..." Baoqing held back a little and nodded depressedly, "Even if you are right, Brother Yu Qian will be the top scorer anyway." The little girl unswervingly supported Yu Qian.

If Liu Chun was here, he would be shocked. When did his disciple's relationship with women be so good? After only a few times, Baoqing became an unswerving "Yu Biao". Is it really puzzling?

Their carriage arrived outside the Ministry of Rites and stopped.

The little girls were chirping and coming out of the carriage.

The imperial examination is usually held in February and March. When the results are released, apricot blossoms bloom, so the Ministry of Rites releases the results, also known as the apricot list.

Once every three years, this is the first examination after the imperial court moved its capital to Peiping. It is logically meaningful.

When Baoqing got off the car, a gust of spring breeze blew and shivered. Tang Sai'er handed over the cloak and asked the little princess to put it on.

"It's a bit cold. Isn't it even colder for the students from all provinces to take the exam a few days ago?"

Tang Sai'er whispered: "Indeed, I'm not going to be able to bear it if I don't have a good health!"

Baoqing felt distressed when he heard this, "I told my fourth brother to ask him to postpone the exam time so that he would not be able to freeze brother Yu Qian."

Lan Xin didn't have time to care about Yu Qian or Yu Qian. She looked around and finally saw a huge screen wall, waiting under the wall.

Lan Xin looked left and right, but she didn't see how lively it was.

According to legend, where is the grand occasion of watching the list together?

Judging from the current situation, I am afraid it is just an ordinary temple fair!

What about catching a son-in-law under the list?

Why didn't you see someone robbing your son-in-law?

Lan Xin was stupid, "Did we come to the wrong place, or... the time was remembered wrong?"

While she was hesitating, two clerks came out of the Ministry of Rites, took a note with their names written on them, and came to the front of the prepared red paper and pasted it on the last one.

"Congratulations to the 370th tribute tribute from Gaohan, Huguang."

At this time, there was a middle-aged man in the crowd who heard that he had won the last place and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh... he could only keep comforting himself, but he won, after all, he won, much better than not.

But after being defeated, why didn’t there be any envious gaze?

Could it be that my ranking is too low?

The new Kogon quickly fled with his tail between his feet.

As soon as he left, the people from the Ministry of Rites successively sent out the list of the imperial examinations... It turned out that only passing the imperial examination could be called a tribute, but not a Jinshi. However, the palace examination would not be dismissed. In other words, if you pass the imperial examination, you can already be regarded as a reserve official and can completely regard yourself as an official.

If scholars, farmers, industry and commerce pass the imperial examination and become officials, is the best among scholars, and will it be envied by countless people?

Lan Xin and Baoqing were very interested at first, but as they watched, they were indifferent. It was nothing. This year's exam was so deserted that no one gave him good news. It was so deserted that many people didn't come to see the list. It seemed that not many people in the entire capital were concerned!

As we all know, as the main way to become an official, the imperial examination will attract countless attentions every time, which even gave birth to a completed industry.

Every few months before the exam, the inn in Beijing will enter a state of fighting, welcome the candidates from all over the country, providing them with food, clothing, housing, transportation, pen, ink, paper and ink... If you serve them well, you can make three years of money in these months.

When the results are released, it will be even more lively.

There was a group of people watching the Ministry of Rites. After making a name for themselves, they immediately went to report the good news.

The news was delivered to the inn. As long as no one came in advance, you were the first one, starting at least five taels of silver.

Don't worry about debts at all.

Because even if there is a tribute master who can’t afford it, someone will give it generously.

After the exam, it will be an official. Are you still afraid that they will owe money?

Therefore, every year during the competition, from the students to the Beijing exam, the palace exam, the celebration, the banquet, thank the teacher, the solid friends in the same subject, and the assignment of positions... For several months, everyone's eyes would be around these lucky ones.

It's like a big show that lasts for half a year, people are happy with each other and are happy to hear it.

But today it was so strange from beginning to end.

I knew that the results were released, but few people were concerned about it.

If the Ministry of Rites had not really announced the rankings, everyone would have thought that the imperial examination had not started at all.

"What's going on? It's so boring." Lan Xin couldn't help but vent her anger.

At this moment, a young man in his early twenties appeared next to him.

He has a beautiful face and a gentle and gentle look, and he looks very pleasant.

"A few little sisters, do you also see the results?"

Lan Xin pouted and said, "Of course, we are planning to grab a son-in-law and go back!"

The scholar looked at the little girls and couldn't help laughing.

"Catching a son-in-law under the list is something that the Song Dynasty likes. The Ming Dynasty restrains officials more strictly, but this is not popular." The scholar was still merciful and did not say that the salary of the Ming Dynasty was too low and the situation of the officials was too poor, which was far less amazing than the Song Dynasty, so there was no grand occasion of catching a son-in-law under the list.

Baoqing tilted his head and said, "Even if there is no son-in-law under the list, it will be too deserted this year!"

The young man was helpless, "Last year, the imperial court established Jiaotong University, and many people went to take the Jiaotong University exam. Later, Jian Yi, the Minister of Rites, was involved in the case and was dismissed from office and returned home. Zhengdao Academy was also sealed off, and many people were arrested. Naturally, no one cared about the entire examination."

Baoqing said: "So that's it. Then are you taking the exam too?"

"Yes!" the young man nodded helplessly, "I would have gone to take the Jiaotong University if I had known this. If I didn't come, I'd be able to take the exam."

Lan Xin smiled and said, "It's not too late now! I also know people from Jiaotong University! If you want to go, I can help you."

The scholar looked at it carefully. These two little girls are not old, but they are full of nobleness and are definitely not like ordinary people.

"Thank you for your kindness. If I fail the exam, I will definitely go to Jiaotong University."

"Okay, let's wait!"

The appearance of the scholar gave several more reasons to wait. Gradually, the rankings became higher and higher, and the remaining opportunities were becoming increasingly slim.

The scholar's face was not very good either. When the third place was posted, he shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that I failed the exam, and I don't know if Jiaotong University can still ask me! I really shouldn't have come to take the exam." After saying that, he shook his head and sighed, feeling particularly depressed.

Lan Xin smiled and said, "It's okay, this is called the dependence on good and bad luck. Maybe you can go to Jiaotong University to better use your talents!"

The scholar smiled, "Borrow the auspicious words of the girl."

At this moment, three people came out of the Ministry of Rites, one more than before, and the name on his hand was one bigger.

Pa, the name is posted on the first place on the apricot list!

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin Huan, the first place in high school Huiyuan, Fengtian Palace Face Saint!"

The scholar was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I actually won, but what does it feel like?" A thought surged in the scholar's mind: Imperial Examination Pill! What can I do if I pass the palace examination?
Chapter completed!
