Chapter 294 Palace Examination! Outrageous and Perverted Test Questions!

Latest website:

April.

The palace examination is held as scheduled!

According to the old system, the palace examination should be held on the first day of March.

However, what Prince Han of the Supervisory State likes most is to act unconventionally, so the students are not surprised.

You can hold it anytime, as long as you hold it.

After all, this may be the last major imperial examination. The thief Prince Han was directly dismissed and suspended due to the imperial examination conspiracy!

Some exams are good. Who dares to question the time of this exam?

It was just after the fifth watch, and the sky outside was still dark.

Uncle Yu Qianyu was awakened by a violent banging on the door. He didn't need to think too much to know that the person who came must be his friend Chen Xun.

"Tingyi! If you don't go to the exam, there will be big problems!"

Chen Xun howled miserably, he was really scared now.

This friend is so bold that he is not even willing to go to the imperial examination!

Although you don’t have to go to the imperial examination, there are reasons for that.

For example, before the imperial examination, if you receive a letter from home that your parents have died of illness, or you are temporarily in poor health, or for many other reasons, you can say goodbye to the imperial examiner.

As for the candidates' results of the general examination, they will be recorded in the book. When the next palace examination is held, they can directly take the palace examination. If they don't want to go to Beijing to take the exam anymore, they can also go directly to the Yamen of their place of origin to apply for officialdom.

It's just that this palace examination is likely to be the last one. God knows when that thief Prince Han will resume the examination, so all the tributes attach great importance to it. They got up early before dawn and prepared to queue up to enter the palace. try.

Only my best friend was sleeping soundly!

Thinking about it, Chen Xun banged on the door again and howled miserably.

Yu Qian was extremely annoyed in the house. He had no choice but to get up and open the door, and then fell back to sleep.

"Oh Tingyi! Get up quickly, you..."

"Brother Dezun, I really don't want to go. They are humiliating me. It doesn't matter if I don't take the imperial examination!"

Hearing this, Chen Xun was startled and then smiled bitterly.

This guy is still young, and he dares to put his bright future at risk just because of a trivial matter like falling off the back of a car!

He could ignore Yu Qian, but Chen Xun, as his elder brother, couldn't ignore it.

Seeing that this guy had no intention of getting up, Chen Xun sat down directly opposite him.

"Well, if you don't go, my brother won't go either!"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Qian was shocked, stood up suddenly, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Dezun, why do you have to... alas, that's all!"

Yu Qian smiled bitterly while honestly changing his clothes and washing up.

He knew very well that his good friend's talent and knowledge were enough to create such a myth as winning three yuan in a row!

After all, Chen Xun is already Jieyuan of Ji'an Prefecture. He won Huiyuan again in the previous examination. He was only one short of the number one scholar after winning three yuan in a row!

If Chen Xun can really win three yuan in a row, it will not only be a bright future, but also the highest honor that will shine brightly and be famous forever!

What's more, this good friend comes from a poor family and has to rely on fellow villagers to finance his trip to Beijing to take the exam. He is burdened with huge pressure and expectations!

If it was because of himself that he delayed his friend's career, Yu Qian would regret it for the rest of his life.

After a while, the two walked together and headed straight to the Forbidden City (Nanjing Forbidden City).

At this time, the moon was still hazy in the sky and reluctant to leave. Under the illumination of the moon, Yu Qian and Chen Xun rushed to the Jinshen Hall where the palace examination was held.

Since the restoration of imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examinations were held in Jinshen Hall in the Forbidden City.

The name of the palace is a reminder for the emperor to strengthen his self-cultivation.

Whether the emperors of the Ming Dynasty held grand ceremonies or established princes and queens, they all held them in Jinshen Hall, including the highest level of the imperial examination - the examination room of the imperial examination, which was also in Jinshen Hall.

When the two arrived, there were already crowds of people in front of the palace gate.

Three hundred and ninety-nine tributes, all wearing brand-new palace examination uniforms, were excitedly waiting to step into the Jinshen Hall, the examination room of the palace examination!

After all, this is a small step, but it is a big step in their lives!

Because there will be no elimination in the palace examination, only rankings and no promotion.

Therefore, these 399 Gongshi, no matter how they take the exam, can safely pass the palace examination, at least they are from the same background as Jinshi.

Even if this fellow Jinshi is not very good, he will be assigned to the six departments to be the chief or sent to a local place to be a county magistrate.

So this means that as long as they enter the Jinshen Palace, no matter how they rank in the palace examination, they will have a splendid official career, and they are the existence that ordinary students need to look up to!

Yu Qian walked like a gentleman and followed the team carelessly. He first cooperated with the inspection, then took a shower and changed clothes, and then stood outside the palace gate waiting for the news.

Soon the sun rose in the east and the palace examination began.

A group of tributes followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites into the palace. After paying homage to the Crown Prince and the Prince of Han, they each took their seats under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at these tributes lightly, and when his eyes touched Yu Qian, he obviously paused for a moment.

However, he didn't do anything unusual. He just chuckled and left with the prince.

The palace examination began immediately, but when all the candidates saw the test questions, they let out bursts of exclamations.

This is crazy!

What kind of bastard did this come up with?

This test question is very long, about 500 words in total, but it is off the mark.

The previous sentences mentioned that people cultivate the fields, which is related to the country's agriculture!

To put it bluntly, Nongsang refers to food and population. There is basically no problem in writing around this theme.

Then he mentioned the agricultural tax, salt tax and other imperial tax systems, and even highlighted the commercial tax system stipulated by the imperial court!

Agricultural tax and salt tax were the main tax revenue of the imperial court, and the rest of the mining tax, commercial tax, etc. could basically be ignored.

But this test question focuses on describing commercial tax. What does this mean?

Could it be that the thief Prince Han is planning to attack the imperial tax revenue again?

But we, the dignified scholars and the pure and self-sufficient sons of saints, don’t understand the ways of Lao Shizi, merchants, tax merchants at all?

All the candidates cursed secretly in their hearts and could only continue to look down patiently.

If it is outrageous to say that the emphasis on commercial taxes in the test questions is a bit outrageous, then it is even more damn outrageous to know how to manage government affairs in the Jiaozhi area after switching from commercial taxes!

The few words in this test question explain the difficult situation of the Cochin region with constant rebellion and lack of support from the people. It asks you how to properly solve these problems so that the government can be kind to the people of Cochin...

Damn it, we are still candidates, not local officials!

Han Chuang has studied hard for so many years, who has experience in government administration, and it's still a barbarian place like Cochin? !

Even if it is a small county in the Ming Dynasty, I may not be able to handle it myself. Now you ask me how to govern in Jiaozhi?

Chief minister?

Bu, your uncle!

Those barbarians don't understand the scriptures and don't want enlightenment. Who the hell knows how to govern?

As for the last theme, that was the one that made many candidates feel speechless and chilled the most.

These last few sentences lightly describe how ungrateful and despicable the Japanese country is, and how many mineral resources there are in the Japanese country. Assuming that the imperial court intends to conquer the Japanese country, how to proceed...

Everyone was confused after seeing these last few words.

This test question is no longer a question of whether or not it exceeds the stipulation. This is because the person who wrote the question has something wrong with his head!

In addition to the first theme of Nongsang, what are the other things?

Business tax...

Cochin...

Japan...

Numb!

Completely numb!

There is no doubt that this is definitely a test question asked by the thief Prince Han!

Otherwise, what normal person would come up with such outrageous and perverted things?

Chen Xun was stunned and confused.

Li Zhen was stunned, pulling her hair in distress.

Wang Ao was dumbfounded. He picked up the pen but didn't know how to finish it. UU read www.uukansshu.nett

I have to admit that the first theme of agriculture and mulberry is the simplest. It is written around the food and population, and all the tributes are sure of it.

After all, this is the ideological proposition closest to Cheng Zhu's praise of virtue. The people live and work in peace and contentment, the court applies benevolent policies, and together we move towards a prosperous age...

But since Prince Han puts the farmers in the first place, it proves that what he wants to see most is not the farmers, but the three behind him...

Business tax reform!

The chief minister of Cochin!

Conquer Japan!

It’s just that none of these three major themes is easy to write about!

Yu Qian almost laughed out loud when he looked at these unconventional test questions!

interesting!

What fun!

He didn't expect that Prince Han was really angry with him.

He, a rebellious young man, likes these rebellious topics.

The first thought is not about farming, let alone food, but about land!

Yu Qian knew that it was a common practice for local rural gentry to annex land. This should be the deep meaning of Prince Han!

The second idea, Yu Qian didn't understand the business tax reform and didn't dare to get involved.

The third idea is to govern in Cochin. This seems difficult, but in fact it is the simplest.

Thinking of the big moves made by the imperial court in recent days, it is not difficult for Yu Qian to guess that the "Jiaozhi Chief" refers not only to Jiaozhi, but to the entire Nanyang!

In the land of Nanyang, the situation is complicated, but it also best reflects a person's true talent and knowledge!

As for the last idea, to conquer the Japanese country, Yu Qian also did not want to get involved.

If it is brilliantly written, it is harmful to nature and inhumane.

If you write it euphemistically, it goes against your true intention and is boring.

Thinking about it, Yu Qian decided to start with the third thought.

The chief minister of Cochin!

No, the layout is smaller.

should be……

Nanyang Governor!
