Under the leadership of the Shuntian Prefecture and the Admiral of the Nine Gate, Jia Cong and thousands of tribute soldiers entered Zhengyang Gate, including Wang Yinglin, Zhang Maocai, Wei Shixuan, Dai Fengxiang, Gong Dingci and others. On both sides of the Meridian Gate are the legendary Six-College Gate, but Jia Cong didn't have the chance to take a closer look.

They entered the middle road of the Meridian Gate. The middle road of the Meridian Gate will never open unless the emperor travels, but will enter from the east and west.

After entering the royal palace, the energetic tributes became quiet, including Jia Cong, the white jade bridge railings, green streams, gold bricks and glazed glass, wide and magnificent, the steps were layered up, and the palace groups were scattered and arranged, and the eunuchs and guards were so shaking that people could not find the north. Because of the escort of officers and soldiers, they arrived unimpeded outside the gate of Renhua Palace.

Renhua Hall is located south of the Daming Palace and belongs to the central axis of the Forbidden City of Dashun. It was established after the war in the late Ming Dynasty and cost one million yuan. Under the Dan Palace, thousands of juren stood with their hands down. Admiral Yang, the commander of the fifth battalion of the Nine Gates Infantry Patrol, stood in front of the candidates and presented a hollow silver seal: "Previous Order Dong, please verify the tiger talisman. The important place of the palace should not be careless."

"Admiral Yang, please sign for it." Dong Anguo also put a silver seal into the hollow with seriousness. The two silver seals actually overlapped seamlessly, presenting a complete image of a tiger.

Admiral Yang nodded and said, "Is it an exam outside the hall? Or the east and west wings? Aren't the cabinet ministers asking for instructions temporarily?"

"The Imperial Heaven Supervision said that there is rain today, and the dragon and tiger meet, which is auspicious elephant. It is changed to be tested in the east and west wings." A Sili Superintendent, wearing a uniform, came over and said with his pen.

"Secretary and others obey the order." The two of them bowed to each other like the emperor came in person. Admiral Yang asked, "Eunuch Liu is back from the study room?"

Liu Bingbi smiled and said, "I have walked through the Six Ministry, the Department of Affairs, the Six Departments, and the Censorate's Documents. The Nine Border Defense is important, and the famine and floods in the Central Plains cannot be delayed."

Admiral Yang and Dong Fugong laughed without saying anything. Everyone knew that the emperor seemed to be valuing officials. When Liu Bingbi left, they were responsible for a wing and escorting the candidates to the seat. Dong Fugong said, "Why didn't the lieutenant Qiu? Inner city prevention and control is the responsibility of Lord Yang and Lord Yang."

Admiral Yang shook his head and puzzled, but he had already speculated: "I'm afraid the emperor will come in person. Qiu Duwei transferred the Han general. After the handover of the imperial court, he stayed outside. Even though he was a thousand scholars without any power, he was careless..."

As he was speaking, suddenly the drums and music came from the left door of Renhua Hall. In a moment, the flags, axes, and ceremonies embroidered dragons and phoenixes opened the way. The eight-lifted dragon chariot in the middle brought out a nine-five supreme emperor. Admiral Yang and the prefect Dong hurriedly lifted their robe and knelt down on the ground above their heads.

The musicians of the Honglu Temple and the Jiaofangsi were playing music, which moved the world and spread throughout the courtyard. The guards and soldiers and eunuchs were all kneeling. Jia Cong and thousands of tribute scholars were all read by the Four Books and Five Classics. After a few seconds of commotion, they immediately knelt down.

Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, shouted: "Happy!"

Everyone stood up, Dai Quan shouted again: "Bow! Kowtow three times!"

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed three times again, Dai Quan shouted again: "Happy! Bless! Kowtow three times!"

"Happy! Bless! Kowtow three times!"

He bowed three times and kowtowed the great ceremony in a dirt, and Jia Cong cursed secretly. At this time, Dai Quan shouted "After the ceremony, the music stopped." Everyone stood silently. No one dared to look up at the emperor on the dragon chariot.

Emperor Yongle's voice came: "The imperial examination is a great ceremony for national ethics. I am a saint of the emperor who is in charge of heaven and will educate all people, respect the people under Confucius, and to safeguard the world and to calm the world. I am very happy to treat the wise and the people's food and clothing. Therefore, I suddenly put down my memorials and sent oral instructions to not be entrusted to the Tao of the Confucians. You are the new academic advancement in our dynasty in the future. There are generals and prime ministers, some parents, or some officials in the border areas. I am not struggling to visit Renhua, and the courts outside the hall are blowing wind and sun. The ministers and I will go to Renhua Hall and the tribute scholars will take the exam in the hall. They will all be supervised, inspected, and defended. The Dan Pai's orders."

Admiral Yang, Dong Fugong, Qiu Duwei and others respectfully praised "My emperor is wise and respectful to the wise and inferior people". Jia Cong and other tribute scholars did not meet the emperor from beginning to end.

...

Since Emperor Yongle was the last decision to be the chief examiner, Zhang Fenyi and other eight ministers of the paper reading can only praise him and accompany the examination in Renhua Hall.

The Imperial Heaven Prison did have some tricks. Soon after, it rained. Heavy rain filled the entire palace and fogged. It seemed that the Scenery was like a fairyland. Everyone in the Imperial Heaven Prison studied astronomy and astrology for generations. Emperor Ling Chengsi would not believe everything, but he still believed in the "dragon and tiger converge, great luck" he said today.

The emperor ordered a policy article, which was qualified for 500 words, but was not capped. The content was keenly involved in military and national affairs such as "father kings", "musical records", "ma politics", etc., and the time to test the literary talent of the tribute scholars and historians' foundation in history.

After the errand eunuchs moved the tables and stools, more than a thousand tribute men sat silently, surrounded the Renhua Hall, and the seats were filled. Jia Cong was assigned to the window number in the southwest corner of the hall.

The wind roared, and the raindrops hit Danbi, Dong Fugongwei, Qiu Duwei, and Yang looked at each other with a frown. However, they still have this patience since they became an official.

Emperor Yongle, who was on the throne of the dragon, stood up and looked at Zhang Fenyi standing on the side. He was walking back and forth on the hall. Thousands of people breathed in the entire hall, but except for the sound of wind and rain, there were no other sounds. Then look at the ten imperial guards in front and back, including first-class guards, six third-class guards, two fourth-class guards, two fifth-class guards, two loyal and carefully selected, and Emperor Yongle felt much more at ease.

Jia Cong spent half an hour brewing, spreading out red grid paper, lifting a brush dipped ink. He was used to writing the style of the Pavilion Pavilion, so he had to write the calligraphy of "Ou style Zhaomian" in the format from right to left, from top to bottom. Suddenly, he saw Qin Ye, one of the eight ministers reading books, and looked at his hand unhappily. Jia Cong realized: "I almost forgot that the palace examination cannot use the Pavilion Pavilion, but the regular script..."

Jia Cong was also infected by the heavy atmosphere. After all, the royal ceremonial guards, music and guards were not all taken out to decorate, which had a shocking effect.

This is not a random blow. When the Governor General saw this ceremonial guard, his legs were weak. Jia Cong did not faint like some tribute men, even if he was calm.

The person on the master is the most powerful man in the world. One word can determine life and death, and one word can make people prosper and have a great success.

"The disaster of the vassal kings is clear in history, and this is not unwilling to be alert. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, ordered the vassal kings to be divided into different levels. The eldest son of the prince was the prince's prince, the eldest grandson was the grandson, and the first rank of the crown and the first rank of the crown and the second rank of the crown and the second rank of the crown and the general of the state. The great-grandson of the state Fengguo, the third rank of the 4th rank of the 5th rank of the 6th rank of the 6th rank of the 7th rank of the parents, the first rank of the 7th rank of the 1st rank of the 7th rank of the 1st rank of the 7th rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 7th rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st rank of the 1st

"Wanli conquered the Japanese pirates in the east, ping Bobai in the west, and slaughtered Bozhou in the south, exhausted more than 10 million taels of silver in Taicang! This cannot be called a powerful military force, and it also promotes the power of the country... However, Jiajing entered Taicang for four or five million silver in the year, and the royal family's royal family's family's salary reached more than 8 million! The people were famine, taxes, service, and work... and the four directions supported the support, and the descendants of the Zhu family were endless, the royal family abused the people and killed the innocent... blood was endless in history...

It was not until Wanli that the common people of the Zhu family were released, and they did not take the people and each made their own lives. However, it was too late! The lessons of the past, and the army of the future affairs could not be alert?"

While studying the Four Books and Five Classics, Jia Cong read through the historical books of the previous dynasty, such as "History of Ming", "Shi Ji", "Biography of the First Auxiliary since Jiajing", "Draft of Ming History", "Book of Ming History", "Book of the Chronicles of Ming History", and "Brief of the Chronicles of Ming History"... This is also a necessary foundation for historical knowledge in the Hanlin. Moreover, taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, using the past to describe the present and using the past to satirize the present, there is no need to worry about the current political issues.
