The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

Although the military situation in the northwest border was critical, after the new emperor ascended the throne, many things that had been stalled due to the illness of the previous emperor and the struggle for the throne were finally able to continue, such as the palace examination that had been postponed for two months.

On June 17, the palace examination was finally held. More than a hundred tribute students who had been anxiously waiting for two months came to the Golden Palace under the leadership of the eunuchs and participated in the palace examination under the witness of the emperor and the ministers in the court.

All the students who participated in the palace examination wore the same tribute student uniform, with high spirits and a dignified appearance. This year's palace examination was full of talents, which revitalized the court that had been severely damaged by a series of changes.

Xuanyuan found the first seat on the left in the first row and sat down. He looked calm and composed, as if he had already made up his mind about the palace examination and had a good grasp of the wisdom.

But in fact...

0617 was turning around in Xuanyuan's sea of ​​consciousness like he had anxiety disorder, and the whole system was extremely crazy: "What should I do, what should I do, what should I do! Host, are you sure? What if you get first place in the imperial examination and fail the palace examination?"

"Shut up." Xuanyuan's handsome face was calm and indifferent, "If you make noise again, I will suppress you for a hundred years."

0617:... trembling and dare not say a word. Once before, he annoyed Xuanyuan and was directly locked in a small dark room by his spiritual consciousness. That unforgettable experience has not been forgotten by it until now, and it dare not easily provoke Xuanyuan again.

0617 was quiet and aggrieved, and he didn't dare to say a word, but he was still worried and anxious in his heart. The host's previous examination was not his real knowledge. Now he is taking the exam in front of so many people, he can't pull out the soul of "Lin Yingjie", right?

After the twelve-year-old new emperor, who was full of childishness, expressed his encouragement and expectations to the tribute scholars according to the procedure, the palace examination officially began. The questions of this palace examination were set by the three regent ministers, but they were directly related to national affairs, asking directly how to decide the northwest affairs.

Don't think that the tribute scholars only learned the Four Books and Five Classics and didn't know the art of war. The Wei Dynasty was both civil and military. Every student who could reach the level of tribute scholars was a general who could fight on horseback. The words "civil and military" were not empty words, but the standard for selecting Jinshi in the Wei Dynasty.

This palace examination undoubtedly examined the positions of these scholars on the northwest war, whether they advocated war or peace, and what proposals and suggestions they had for the battle with the Xiongnu in the northwest. According to this palace examination policy, not only can the knowledge of the tribute scholars be distinguished, but also their political positions can be seen, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After laying out the white paper, Xuan Yuan polished and moistened the brush, and after a moment's hesitation, he wrote quickly and finished it in one stroke. His thoughts seemed to be flowing, and he wrote the "Strategy Theory" in a smooth and uninterrupted manner, without any pause in the middle. In the eyes of others, it was obvious that he had made up his mind about the northwest affairs, and he was very firm.

After finishing the last stroke, Xuan Yuan looked at the majestic and vigorous handwriting on the paper, and read the "Strategy Theory" he wrote from beginning to end. He nodded slightly and put down the brush, and stopped writing. It was obvious that he had already written it and did not intend to revise it.

The time for the palace examination was far from over, and Xuan Yuan closed his eyes and rested his mind. Even though he was in the Golden Palace to participate in the palace examination, he was still calm and composed.

"Host, what the hell did you write!" Xuanyuan wanted to close his eyes and rest, but unfortunately 0617 didn't let him do so. 0617 collapsed and screamed in Xuanyuan's sea of ​​consciousness, and the whole system went crazy.

It turned out that Xuanyuan's strategy paper, which was written with a single stroke and as if by god, clearly said "0617 is a noisy idiot". The whole piece of paper was filled with this sentence!

0617 was going crazy: "Host, even if you hate people being noisy, don't write this kind of thing in such an important occasion QAQ It's over, it's over, the host is afraid that he will fail this time, and the mission will fail"

Xuanyuan was still calm, only his eyebrows jumped slightly: "Shut up." He still closed his eyes and rested, as if he was sure of victory.

"Lord Li, this is your grandson, right? He is really handsome." A civil servant wearing a purple official robe with a peacock embroidered on the chest stroked his beard and praised him with a little admiration. He was the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a powerful official in the court, and had always had a good relationship with Lord Li.

Originally, during the palace examination, His Majesty and the ministers should have inspected the candidates' answers, but now the new emperor is young and only sits on the dragon throne. The other ministers can't inspect the candidates' essays, so they can only stand on both sides of the palace and whisper a few words in private.

Lord Li stroked his beard with reserve, pretending to be indifferent and said: "I am just a kid, I don't deserve such praise, I just have some knowledge, it's not shameful."

"Lord Li is really... the first in the examination is just some knowledge, how can other scholars stand?" The Minister of Revenue laughed, he also knew that this was Lord Li's implicit boasting and showing off, and he couldn't help but feel helpless, Lord Li is really an old child.

After the palace examination, the essays of many tribute scholars were carefully sorted out and submitted to the chief examiners for review. Only the essays rated in the top ten would be presented to His Majesty, and then the emperor and the ministers would discuss and determine the rankings of the top three and the top ten.

"This essay..."

"What do you think?"

"It should be the first."

"It should be the champion."

After all the scholars' strategies were sorted out and reviewed by the examiner, they sometimes discussed in whispers and sometimes consulted each other's opinions. They took a very serious attitude towards the evaluation of the ranking of each scholar's strategies. This year's scientific examination went through two emperors. The emperor is the first subject of the new emperor, so there can be no mistakes no matter what.

When the examiners saw a policy paper, they immediately became excited, whispering to each other, and arguing endlessly. In just a moment, the results of the evaluation of the policy paper by several examiners were reached, and all the examiners had the same opinion.

After the top ten strategies selected by the examiner were handed to the twelve-year-old new emperor Wenyuan, he pretended to look through them, with a serious expression on his young face, and said solemnly: "This is The next imperial examination will be based on the opinions of your lords."

In other words, he does not intend to interfere with the top three and top ten rankings. This is also a very smart move. After all, he has just ascended the throne and is still young. At this time, he should listen to the opinions of the ministers instead of rashly Intervene in matters that are unclear to you.

"Host... I have a hunch that we are doomed." After Xuanyuan exited the Jinluan Palace with the other scholars and left the palace under the leadership of the chamberlain, 0617 said in Xuanyuan's mind with great emotion. low.

Xuan Yuan ignored it and strode straight towards the palace gate. He walked calmly and with long strides. He was not like other scholars who felt weak in their feet and hands after leaving the Golden Palace, as if they were weak after being nervous.

0617 kept up his efforts: "Host, I've seen it all. What you wrote in your policy paper is all nonsense and irrelevant words. It's complete bullshit. You will definitely fail the exam QAQ"

"Shut up." Xuan Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, interrupting 0617's endless chatter, "Just wait and see."

0617: What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the host to fail?

But soon 0617 was severely slapped in the face. One day later, the results of the palace examination came out, and the imperial edict came down. Lin Xuanzhu was named on the gold medal list, and was selected as the number one scholar in Jinke. He was also appointed as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, and was ranked as a sixth-grade official.

If f writes something that curses me, can he become the number one scholar?
