Wen Zhiyun followed Mrs. Wu in medicine for a few days and had a sudden enlightenment.
His previous speculation was confirmed, and the blocked path gradually became unblocked. Only then did he realize that the disease he had diagnosed was indeed a single disease, and could not be compared to the vast sea of medical treatments.
He is like a piece of mulberry paper exposed to the sun, finally falling into the mountain spring, opening up to absorb the sweet rain.
This was a good thing and took the siblings' worries away.
But it’s not good enough, which makes them worried.
Who arranged it for Dr. Wu?
Is it... Xiao Wu?
Unfortunately, time was tight and they didn't even have time to investigate, and the palace examination came as scheduled.
The palace examination, as the name suggests, is an examination in the Jinluan Palace.
It is the last step in the imperial examination and a crucial turning point.
Some people say that the greatest luck in the palace examination is that just ranking does not mean you will fail.
Some people also say that your ranking in the imperial examination is crucial, as it determines whether you will be successful or miserable in the future.
Both statements are correct.
The Dayu Dynasty no longer failed in the palace examination, but had to thank the previous dynasty for the blood and tears shed.
It is said that at the end of the previous dynasty, a Gongsheng student failed several times in the palace examination. Out of resentment, he joined the enemy's army. He actually won many battles during his planning and planning, which caused the previous dynasty to suffer a big loss.
Thinking about it, those who can pass the exam from a boy student to a Gong student are almost certain talents.
Rather than letting talented people fail in the rankings with resentment, it is better to be directly assigned official positions so that they can contribute more or less to the dynasty.
Since then, the elimination system in the palace examination has been cancelled. All Gongsheng students can obtain honors, but they are divided into first, second, and third grades according to their merits.
The first, first and third places are called Jinshi and the third place, which are also known as the number one scholar, the second person and the third flower.
There are dozens of people in the top two, who are said to be of Jinshi origin, and the one ranked first also has a nice name, called Chuanlu.
The rest are classified into the top three, also known as Tongjinshi.
Although they can all obtain official positions, depending on their level of excellence, those in the first class will flourish, those in the second class will be average, and those in the third class will obviously be lost to everyone else.
If it all depends on talent and learning, answering the questions according to the rules will be enough.
However, the palace examination is more about being flexible, speaking calmly, and being generous and decent.
In history, there was a person who passed the imperial examination in Huiyuan, but he was unable to accept the title of Jinshi.
There are also those who are worthy of being on the list, but because of their excellent handwriting and neither being humble nor arrogant, they are promoted to the second place, or even the first place number one.
The palace examination is the end of the imperial examination and the beginning of officialdom.
It vividly demonstrates "everything is possible" and makes countless Gong students worried and nervous, with sweaty palms.
From the time when the results of the general examination are released to the palace examination, which lasts for more than half a month, all the candidates are making their final efforts.
Finally, they stood at the gate of the imperial city.
Xu Mo, Qi Huai, An Jun, Fang Yuan, those they knew, those they didn't know, those with grudges or not, were all waiting straight ahead.
It was just dawning, and a faint light penetrated through the clouds and reached everyone's shoulders.
Guards in brocade robes, holding long swords, stood guard at the door, waiting for the dawn to welcome the students.
This scene, which should have been solemn and solemn, turned out to be a bit chaotic because no one was in charge.
The students may talk to each other, express their sorrows, worry about what to do, or gossip.
Xu Mo stood in the crowd, and when he turned slightly sideways, he could see his worried brothers and sisters. He waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
The Fang family has been too quiet during this period, so quiet that they all know that the Fang family will make big moves during the palace examination.
But so what.
The end of the imperial examination is in sight. Xu Mo cannot give up. No matter how many difficulties there are, he must face them.
He closed his eyelashes and prepared for the final review.
Leng Buding was tapped on the shoulder. When he opened his eyes, he saw the coy Qi Huai.
"Brother Qi?" Xu Mo was a little surprised.
"Brother Xu." Qi Huai touched his nose and glanced at the crowd of family members, "Do you know the rules of the palace examination? My father is the Minister of Rites. You also know that the imperial examinations in all dynasties have been administered by the Ministry of Rites, and you are familiar with the rules of the palace examination."
This is the difference between officials and civilians.
Officials have strong connections and know each other through many channels. They can be confident and unhurried even in the imperial examination.
The common people were ill-informed, and their understanding of the imperial examination was limited to a few sentences from the Master, or they could read only fragments of ancient books.
But no one wants to teach generously at this time.
Because of the relationship between each other, because ranking is extremely important, because it involves smooth officialdom in the future.
It was rare for Qi Huai to be generous. Even though Xu Mo had inquired about the matter in advance, he was still sincerely grateful.
"Historical records indicate that the imperial examinations were all hosted by the Tianjia, but in fact, the Tianjia only ranked the top three, and the second, third, and third grades were all decided by officials, such as the Six Ministers, or the Three Gongs and Three Solitaries."
"The exam is divided into three parts. The first step is to ask questions, which means that the Tianjia will give the questions and the candidates will write the papers. The second step is to read the papers. The supervisor will check the candidates' papers. Handwriting and literary talent are the top priority. At the same time, the content of the article is explained. The third step is called the palace test ceremony, where various questions will be randomly selected, not limited to books, and even whims."
"Each of these three steps will receive evaluations from at least six examiners. Different characters are used to represent different evaluations. The higher the score, the better the ranking. It may even attract random inspections by Tianjia. Once Tianjia expresses satisfaction, you will Your career will skyrocket after just one imperial examination."
Qi Huai finished speaking in one breath. While his mouth was dry, he did not forget to glance at the pile of relatives in the distance.
"Brother Qi, thank you for your hard work." Xu Mo asked in various ways, but none of them were as clear and thorough as Brother Qi's words."
"You're welcome, it's a trivial matter." Qi Huai touched his nose again, "I just hope Brother Xu will go to high school in the future and don't forget that I am the Qi family."
Qi... home?
Xu Mo was still confused when there was a commotion ahead. It seemed that the gate of the imperial city was opened.
All the words were swallowed back, and the noisy crowd fell silent for an instant. Countless students and their family members all looked up to the front.
I saw an old man with a white beard appearing above the city wall, wearing a crescent moon robe, and said with great energy, "The sky is breaking, the palace exam is welcoming the new year!"
The well-trained guards in brocade uniforms slowly pushed open the gate of the imperial city.
A bright yellow mist floats in the east. Although it is thin, it carries the power of new life.
Group after group of talents are all the hope of the country.
They are young and eager, bidding farewell to their relatives, and rushing into the hall of longing with brave steps.
Imperial City.
The pinnacle of power, the head of desire.
A devouring beast, a luxurious cage.
But their steps were so unhesitating.
Xu Mo took a deep breath, and together with Qi Huai, he bumped into An Jun on the way. The three of them walked side by side, passing by the Jinluan Palace from the gate, passing through the Taihe Palace, and finally arrived at the Baohe Palace.
Hundreds of students stood in an orderly manner, looking up at the officials sitting in the hall, with admiration and a bit of anticipation in their eyes.
"I just hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to sit there and give all poor students a chance." An Jun said with longing on his face, "By then there will be no more predators, and no poor students will be bullied but cannot speak up."
What a wonderful wish.
But not forgetting your original intention is the most difficult thing in the world.
