The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Imperial City, Palace of Preserving Harmony.

This is where the imperial examination takes place.

After going through roll call, unraveling papers, praise, salute, etc., Jia Jue finally got the test questions for this exam.

But at this time, there was a sudden sound of breathing in the hall.

Jia Jue took the test questions and flipped through them, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This time the test paper is completely different from usual. Generally speaking, the palace test only asks questions, and there is only one question, and the questions are only about one or two things.

But this time, there are six questions in total, namely: Soldiers, Rites, Officials, Workers, Criminals, and Households.

Moreover, the questions are extremely in-depth, and the questions are not superficial. If you want to answer them well, you need to have profound attainments.

Obviously, the purpose of this palace test is to screen out real talents.

Although it was stated in the test paper that one should choose one's own strengths to answer, it was obvious that the more answers to these questions, the better, and the more in-depth the better.

This is also the reason why the other test takers gasped, many of which were their knowledge blind spots.

Jia Jue read the test questions, smiled faintly, and wrote quickly.

……

After a few hours.

Side hall.

Six ministers and six great scholars gathered here, and they will be the examiners of this palace examination.

Because of Wei Yuan's previous incident, in order to make the palace examination fairer, Zhao Qi directly appointed these twelve court ministers as examiners.

With their identities and status, geographical differences can no longer have any impact on them.

"My lords, have you finished reading "The True Explanation of Dianshi"?" Chen Jiang, Minister of the Household Department, asked everyone.

Huang Tao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, sighed after hearing the words: "This book teaches me to be amazed. Although I don't know the way of economics, I can know it. What is said in the book has a lot to do!"

"That's right. This book is simple and easy to understand. It explains the way of management. After studying it for a long time, I feel that this book is profound and profound, and I even have a feeling that I still have a lot of reasons to say after reading this book." Chu Liang, a scholar of Jidian University, stroked his beard and praised it.

Hu Ming, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also echoed: "That's right! Congratulations to Mr. Chen for being a great talent!"

Everyone nodded their heads one after another. They had all read the "True Explanation of the Store Market", and they all felt that the method in it was extremely good.

Chen Jiang said hastily: "My lords, what are you talking about? This is clearly the blessing of the imperial court and the common people. Why am I so happy?"

That's what he said, but his face was full of joy, and he couldn't hide it.

Seeing his proud appearance, everyone shook their heads and laughed.

Qian Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said with a sneer: "If that's the case, then let him join our Ministry of Industry."

Over the past few days, Wei Yuan's case has gradually spread, and they all know that the author of "The True Explanation of the Store Market" is Jia Jue.

The reason why it is said that Chen Jiang has gained a great talent is because after Jia Jue's imperial examination, he has obtained the honor of Jinshi, and after training in the Imperial Academy for a period of time, he is very likely to serve in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Chen Jiang shook his head quickly: "Cun Zhou (Jia Zheng) is already working in the Ministry of Industry, how can father and son work in the same Ministry? It's not appropriate."

Seeing him like this, everyone looked at each other and laughed.

"It's just that I don't know who Yijia is in this palace examination." said Zhu Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

This sentence caused everyone to fall into silence, No. [-], No. [-], Tanhua, these three people have always been the object of everyone's attention.

If it was usual, they would still be somewhat sure, but this time, no one can say for sure.

Because the test questions are too deep, and this is not a stereotyped essay, but a policy question, which tests the professional level and political ability of the students.

There are too many variables to say.

"I think Jia Jue should be able to enter the first class." Yan Jin said out of words.After that pleading guilty, he had a good impression of Jia Jue and had more confidence in Jia Jue.

Wei Ping, a scholar of Wenhua Palace University, shook his head: "I'm afraid not necessarily. Although Jia Jue is proficient in economics, it is only one subject. If there are other students who are proficient in two or even three subjects, it is difficult to say. According to the old man You know, among the candidates this time, there are many talented people with real talents and real learning, many of them are descendants of officials, and under the influence of their parents, I am afraid that they have some experience in a certain way."

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard the words. These words are reasonable. Although Jia Jue is very good at business, he is not necessarily good at other aspects.

However, there is only one exception.

"Have you ever heard about Jia Jue's work in the Imperial College?" Yan Jin asked the crowd.

"You mean the test questions given by those nine great scholars?" Zhou Ping asked him.

This matter has been widely circulated in the circle of scholars, and they have all heard of it.

"That's right. The questions given by the nine great Confucian scholars are probably not in the palace examination. Jia Jue must have a deep talent to win the reputation of the nine great Confucian scholars." Yan Jin nodded.

"It makes sense, but I'm afraid this matter might be exaggerated, so it's not justified." Zhou Ping thought for a while before saying.

This statement also won the approval of many people. After all, they were just hearsay and had never actually seen the test paper.

Yan Jin looked around at them, and suddenly said:

"That being the case, are you willing to take a gamble with me?"

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "You old fellow, you are still competitive at this age."

Yan Jin asked lightly: "To bet or not to bet?"

Zhou Ping shook his head and laughed: "Okay, okay, if you want to bet, then I will pay you for the bet. If you say that Jia Jue is the first, then I will bet three taels of Biluochun, betting that he will not be the first."

His behavior intrigued others, too, who jumped in:

"I bet on Zhuyeqing, betting that Jia Jue won't make it to the top."

"I bet on Taohe Inkstone, betting that Jia Jue won't make it to the top."

"I'll bet on Huzhou Langhao, and bet that Jia Jue won't make it to the top."

……

Most of the people in the field joined in, but they all chose to bet that Jia Jue would not be able to enter the first class, and only a few chose to watch.

Yan Jin was surprised when he saw this: "Why? Do you look down on him like this?"

Xu Chen, a scholar of the Jianji Temple, pondered for a while and said:
"It is true that Jia Jue is talented, but he is too young after all. If he only takes stereotyped exams, he may be able to make some achievements, but if he only talks about strategy, he has limited knowledge and experience, so it may be difficult for him to win the first place."

His words also aroused the approval of many people. After all, this policy question involves a lot of government affairs. It needs to be experienced and dealt with in order to understand it deeply. A teenager in his teens, no matter how much he reads, he cannot touch it. .

In this world, after all, there is no one who is born with knowledge, and it is reasonable for everyone to dislike him.

Yan Jin glanced at Xu Chen, but he was speechless. He couldn't argue with this truth.

In the midst of everyone's conversation, time passed slowly, until a valet brought a stack of test papers:
"My lords, the time has come. Here is the answer sheet. Please take care of me, my lords."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and it was finally time to reveal the answer.
