Qin Shi Mingyue's infinite punch card

Whenever someone confirms that they have won the list, the people around will congratulate each other and hold the relationship with smiles on their faces.

Everyone knows that anyone who passed the exam can be said to have soared into the sky, and their net worth has skyrocketed since then.Even if he performed mediocrely in the subsequent imperial examination, he could still get a good position.

However, there were still a small number of people who passed the exam, and most of them were downcast, and some even cursed and complained about injustice.

But neither happiness nor anger can change the result, and now the dust has settled...

At the same time, Ye Chen also came to Xianyang Palace, talked to Ying Zheng about the big exam, and handed over the test papers of the 50 people selected to Ying Zheng for review.

Ying Zheng simply looked at it and put it away. He believed in the former's vision and ability.And compared to this, he cared more about another thing.

"During the imperial examination this time, how many people stretched their hands in?"

Ying Zheng didn't ask if there were any, but directly said how many there were, which showed that he knew it well.

He still knows those aristocratic families very well.

It can be said that the imperial examination system has greatly affected its interests, making it impossible for it to continue monopolizing official careers.

Therefore, in order to protect rights, some means must be used to influence the imperial examination.

For example, to dredge the relationship, colluding with local officials to open the back door for their own people, so that they can enter the officialdom smoothly.Maintain the nobles' control over their official career as much as possible.

The reason why I hand over the full power of the big exam to the other party and give him so many rights is not only to select truly outstanding talents, but also to find out those moths, and use this to further attack the power of the nobles .

Hearing the question, Ye Chen took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which were written the names of some officials and nobles, there were dozens of them.

Ying Zheng took the list and glanced at it row by row, his eyes gradually turning cold.

"It's quite a lot."

Although he knew in advance that someone would pay attention to the imperial examination, he didn't expect that there would be so many.

If you change the monarch, after seeing so many people involved, you may worry that the influence will be too great and you will be punished lightly.

But Yingzheng's temperament is very strong, and he can't do anything that does not blame the public.

In his opinion, the nobles of those families have already done it, so he naturally cannot give in, otherwise it will only make the other party worse.

After grasping the situation, Ying Zheng didn't take immediate measures, but called Zhang Han and gave him a task.

Now that he has decided to take action, he will use thunderous means to dig out those guys hiding below, and solve the problem once and for all.

But we have to wait for this matter, first of all, to give the Shadow Secret Guard some time to investigate.Secondly, it is also because the imperial examination has not yet ended, and the next imperial examination needs to have a perfect closing.

The exam is over and the results have been announced.

Those who failed all started to return with disappointment and helplessness, and secretly made up their minds that they must study harder and strive to get good grades in the next imperial examination.

And those who passed the exam were happily preparing, wanting to leave a good impression on His Majesty the Emperor in the next palace exam.

Some thoughtful people even came to the National Teacher's Mansion with gifts, wanting to pay a visit.

China has been a humane society since ancient times, even in the upper class.

The reason why candidates do this is definitely not because they really just want to say thank you, but because they want to build relationships.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at being officials. Ye Chen, as the current national teacher, can be said to be the highest in status besides the first emperor.

Although passing the exam is already one foot into the official career, but after all, he is still a novice. If he can find a backer to protect him, his future will definitely be much smoother.

And the national teacher is undoubtedly a big thick leg, if he can get his care, the future will be bright.

And Ye Chen naturally knew what those people were thinking.

But he didn't turn people away, after all, as the chief examiner, he personally selected all the 50 people.For the examinees, it can be regarded as half a mentor, and it is understandable to come to see and thank you.

However, Ye Chen didn't want to get involved in any humane officialdom, so he didn't show up.

For any students who came to pay a visit, he asked the housekeeper to greet them, and then sent them away.And those examinees are not stupid, after understanding the meaning of the former, they are also very sensible and did not bother again...

In this way, another month passed, and finally ushered in the final highlight of the imperial examination, the imperial examination!

4 Chapter Twenty

The Palace Examination, as the name suggests, is an examination in the palace hall.The first emperor Yingzheng personally set the questions, checked the papers himself, and selected the best ones to award them.

Anyone who can enter this round can be said to be a successful person, and if they are lucky enough to be selected by the emperor, then their prosperity is just around the corner.

Two days later, it was time for the palace examination.

Fifty examinees dressed in uniform blue and white brocade clothes came to Xianyang Palace and stepped into the hall full of expectations and apprehensions.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the majestic Yingzheng who was high on the throne.

In addition, Ye Chen, the national teacher who presided over the exam before, was also on the sidelines.

"Meet Your Majesty!

Greetings to Master Guoshi! "

The crowd saluted in unison.

"Be flat!"

Ying Zheng's tone was calm.

The candidates stood up, their hearts seemed to be jumping out, their legs were trembling, and some sweat was leaking from their backs.

Although I had imagined the situation at this time countless times before coming here, I still couldn't control my emotions.

Especially some people from poor families, who didn't even see the county magistrate a few times in their hometown, but now they see the emperor, how can they not be nervous?

Seeing this, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and then said: "Just follow the rules, don't be so nervous, you can relax."

This plain voice seems to possess magical power, able to soothe people's hearts.

As soon as this sentence was passed into the ears of dozens of students who had been handed out, they instantly felt the uneasiness in their hearts dissipate, and their hearts became much calmer.

After the state recovered, all the candidates looked at the former with a hint of gratitude in their eyes.

At this moment, Ying Zheng took a large look at the crowd below, and then said: "Today, you are answering the questions in the main hall. There are seats on both sides. Choose one of them to sit down."

In order to make it easier for the students to answer the questions, fifty cushions and tables were specially added in the hall, and pens, inks and papers were also prepared.

"promise!"

The candidates responded respectfully, then walked to the left and right, and found a random seat to sit down.
