Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 21: Questions for the imperial examination for a fifth-grade doctor? All civil and military officials were shocked!

In the court room.

Zhu Yuanzhang wore a military uniform made of yellow gauze embroidered with Zhai patterns, dragon patterns, and twelve chapter patterns, and a gold crown. He sat on a dragon chair made of golden nanmu.

Below stood hundreds of civil and military officials.

There are mainly two factions.

Zhejiang Group headed by Liu Ji.

Li Shanchang heads the Huaixi Xungui Group.

All the officials came forward one after another.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to them one by one and made decisions.

If you can't make a decision, ask the officials for their opinion, or make a decision, or make a decision later.

"Your Majesty, I heard that this palace examination will be asked by a fifth-grade doctor?"

An official suddenly stood up and asked.

Everyone in the court suddenly became serious.

After the general examination comes the palace examination.

The emperor is generally responsible for the palace examination.

Whether it is the date or the test questions, it is the emperor's decision.

However, they heard that Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the questions for the palace examination to others.

This is actually the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

It would have been fine if Zhu Yuanzhang had handed over the questions for the imperial examination to a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, a bachelor, or a great Confucian. However, Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the questions for the imperial examination to an unknown official.

And he is also a fifth-grade doctor.

The fifth grade doctor.

But he is not even qualified to go to court.

How can this person be so virtuous as to be able to pass the examination questions in the imperial examination?

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and smiled.

"That's right."

"We will indeed ask a fifth-grade doctor to write the questions for this imperial examination."

"this......."

All civil and military officials in the court were shocked.

They thought it was just a rumor.

Who wants the emperor to admit it personally?

They felt incredible.

"This little doctor can also pass the imperial examination questions?"

"The imperial examination is to select talents who can be used by the country."

"The emperor always values ​​​​him."

"Every time there is an imperial examination, the emperor does it himself."

"And this time, why did the Emperor leave such an important matter as setting the questions for the imperial examination to a fifth-grade doctor?"

The eyes of the officials fell on Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, and their expressions were a little subtle.

Ye Xuan, a doctor of the fifth rank of the Ministry of Rites, is a person who is appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not choose him as the Minister of Rites.

And pick his subordinates.

Isn't this a slap in the face of Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, and thinks that he is incompetent?

Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, felt sullen in his heart.

There are so many capable people in my etiquette department.

Why did the emperor choose a fifth-grade doctor?

He was dissatisfied.

At the same time, I was also frightened.

Could it be that he, the Minister of Rites, did something wrong?

Is that why the emperor did this?

Ren Ang noticed that countless eyes were looking towards him. He looked over secretly and saw expressions of sympathy, ridicule, teasing, etc. on the faces of civil and military officials from all over the court.

He was even more annoyed.

Finally, he couldn't help it and stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have something unclear!"

"I dare to ask the Emperor to clarify my doubts!"

Ren Ang bowed.

Head down.

All he could see was the hem of his crimson official robe and the bluestone tiles on the main hall.

Ren Ang's heartbeat accelerated.

My heart felt like it was beating out of my chest.

Breathing becomes slightly faster.

To die.

How could he forget what kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang was.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang has become suspicious by nature. He can only listen to a few words from Queen Ma. If other ministers displease him, Zhu Yuanzhang will be killed directly.

Ren Ang swallowed hard,

I just hope Zhu Yuanzhang can spare his life.

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and leaned forward slightly.

"What puzzle do you want us to help you with?"

Ren Ang gritted his teeth and said:

"His Majesty."

"Don't you usually set the questions for the palace examination yourself, Your Majesty? Why did you ask an unknown doctor to set the questions for this year's palace examination?"

"My lord, I don't understand."

"I believe that other people are as puzzled by your Majesty's actions as I am."

Liu Bowen glanced at Ren Ang.

The old god is here.

He was indeed curious.

But he didn't want to be like Ren Ang and ask Zhu Yuanzhang rashly.

If Zhu Yuanzhang is in a bad mood.

Questioning like this can get people killed.

Li Shanchang stroked his beard.

Thought:

This Ren Ang is really bold.

How dare you question your superiors like this.

Do you think Liu Bang is the one who is in charge?

Liu Bang has a casual temper. As long as you don't offend him, he will let you say whatever you want, even if you scold him.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was different.

If you say something wrong.

The next day you have to lose your head.

The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face disappeared and became expressionless.

The majesty of the emperor is fully displayed.

The court became silent.

There was silence.

You can hear a pin drop.

Ren Ang keenly noticed this change and felt chills all over his body.

I just feel like my life is at stake.

He was deeply regretful.

Very good.

Why did he raise this issue?

What the Emperor hates most is when others question him.

"It's our decision."

"Why do I need to explain to you?"

"Could it be that, no matter what we do, we need your consent?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

Ren Ang's throat was dry and his voice was hard, "I don't, I don't dare. I'm just curious about what is so magical about the doctor named Ye Xuan that he got into the eyes and ears of the emperor."

"I am definitely not questioning the emperor's decision."

"I don't dare to question the emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression did not improve and he snorted coldly.

"You'd better not have such thoughts."

"Otherwise I'll chop off your head!"

............

"I would never dare to have such thoughts!"

Ren Ang quickly assured.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Ye Xuan and put a smile on his face again.

"Why did we choose Ye Xuan."

"You will know then."

"This boy is quite extraordinary."

He praised Ye Xuan twice.

Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others were in disbelief.

The superior actually praised a fifth-grade doctor like this?

What is the merit of that man named Ye Xuan that makes his superiors praise him so much?

No one dared to question Zhu Yuanzhang's decision to ask Ye Xuan to take the imperial examination.

The matter was settled just like that.

After leaving the court.

Li Shanchang and others left one after another.

Huaixi Xungui followed Li Shanchang, and Zhedong Group followed Liu Bowen.

"This is the first time I've seen a superior value such a small fifth-grade doctor. Where exactly is this fifth-grade doctor able to win the favor of a superior?"

Li Shanchang was puzzled.

"I heard that the examination questions for the general examination were changed by the fifth-grade doctor named Ye Xuan. I think this person must be outstanding."

said the official next to him.

Li Shanchang stroked his beard.

"Change the exam questions..."

"This person is not simple."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not blame him for changing the examination questions. Instead, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to take the examination questions. From this, we can see that this person is not simple.

"Your Majesty actually asked a fifth-grade doctor to take the palace examination questions. Isn't this a bit unethical?"

Liu Bowen glanced at the official who spoke and said:

"Don't talk nonsense."

"The emperor must have a reason for doing this."

Although he also felt that it was inappropriate to ask a young fifth-grade doctor to take the imperial examination.

But Zhu Yuanzhang had already chosen that person.

So, even the nine-headed cow can't turn back from this matter.

He was curious that a small fifth-grade doctor could be so valued by Zhu Yuanzhang.
