After all the test papers have been collected.
Several eunuchs came out at Wang Jin's signal.
Then the candidates were taken out of Chengtian Hall and sent to another wing to wait.
The palace examination will be held on the same day and the results will be announced on the same day, so the candidates do not need to leave the palace.
Just wait for the final result.
And the exam is over.
Ouyang Ji was surrounded by a group of candidates and asked what he had written.
The question about the most foolish emperors in history really surprised many candidates.
It should be noted that their previous preparations were all about how to govern a country, and they had been reading books and articles on the subject.
What's more, he memorized the "Memorial on Governing the Country" written by Taifu Zhang Zhengming word for word, so that he could use it as a reference and then write a good article.
After all, many people know that the person who is mainly involved in marking the palace examination papers is this Grand Tutor.
But this exam question caught everyone off guard, and they had to re-write their plans.
Then I gritted my teeth and started answering the questions.
And after it's over.
They all gathered around Ouyang Ji.
Because this person is a popular candidate for the top scholar in this imperial examination.
I want to hear his thoughts on this test question and what he wrote, and then compare it with myself to see where the gap lies.
Ouyang Ji naturally greeted them with a smile and started chatting with the other candidates. In fact, his writing was not a world-shattering article. After all, the exam questions had already limited his ability to perform.
When discussing the most incompetent emperors throughout history, he of course had to follow the topic and start by listing some of them.
Then write down some of the actions taken by these foolish rulers when they were in power and evaluate them.
Finally, write down your own opinions.
In fact.
Ouyang Ji felt that although it was not his forte, his evaluation of those tyrants was still very accurate, so he said a few words and wrote a few paragraphs.
After hearing this, the candidates next to him couldn't help but nod their heads.
He believed that the talent of this popular candidate for the top spot was far superior to his own.
I felt that Ouyang Ji was almost certain to be among the top three.
After all, the other party still has the status of Huiyuan.
In any case, it will not fall out of the top two.
But they are not sure whether they can come out on top.
After all, this requires the approval of His Majesty.
So at this moment, everyone was a little anxious.
Ouyang Ji did not continue chatting with the crowd and immediately turned and walked to the other side.
There, Chen Xuance sat alone with his eyes closed, not looking nervous at all.
This made Ouyang Ji a little curious. His good friend was eloquent and was always surrounded by a group of people wherever he went, no matter when. But now he was so quiet.
However, he did not speculate too much about this. Instead, he walked over to the other party and asked, "Xuan Ce, what did you write?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuance opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Just like you, I listed some incompetent rulers and evaluated some of their actions. There's not much difference."
Naturally, he also heard the conversation between the crowd before.
But Chen Xuance knew very well that if we only talked about talent, the other party was better than him.
"More than that, right?"
At this time, Ouyang Ji said directly: "Brother Xuan Ce, based on your personality, it must be completely different from what I wrote, right?"
The exam question this time is about the most foolish emperors in history, and this question is equivalent to a restriction. No matter who it is, there is not much that can be written, and it will definitely be similar.
Therefore, if you want to stand out in the palace examination and be ranked among the top three or even the second best, you must work hard in other aspects.
For example, Ouyang Ji, in addition to what he said, also used this opportunity to comment on some current political affairs.
In my opinion, what is written in the article is absolutely to the point.
It is for this reason that he feels that he must have a place among the top three.
So after hearing what Chen Xuance said.
I immediately felt a little skeptical.
He knew this good friend, and sometimes he would do things unexpectedly.
"Smart." Sure enough, Chen Xuance shook his head and smiled when he heard this.
The two have been friends and classmates for many years and they really know each other very well.
But there was nothing special about the article he wrote.
In addition to commenting on the actions of some foolish emperors, the most important thing is to praise all the decisions made by His Majesty since he came to power, such as the reform, the dispatch of troops to Gaoyang State, the construction of the Grand Canal and the Weizhi Road.
What wise and powerful, with a long-term vision...
What achievements are greater than those of Yao and Shun, and whose virtues are comparable to those of the Three Sovereigns...
Chen Xuance praised almost everything that could be praised.
In addition, the writing style is excellent and the language is gorgeous.
So he felt.
Once this article is published, it will definitely stand out and be listed in the top two, which should not be a problem.
However, Chen Xuance didn't tell Ouyang Ji what he had written. He just said, "Brother Ouyang, let me ask you, if you can rank among the top three this time, are you planning to enter the Hanlin Academy?"
He felt that it didn't matter what he wrote in the article now, after all, the adults had started marking the papers.
As for what will happen in the end, it is no longer up to me to decide.
It’s better to think about where you will go after passing the exam.
The other party was his only close friend in the capital, so naturally he wanted to hear his thoughts.
Ouyang Ji naturally understood what he meant. He thought about it for a moment and continued, "Although the Hanlin Academy is a good place, I would rather be transferred to a lower level. You should understand what I mean."
