Just as Du Zhongxiao's guess, three days later, the court took back his orders and the palace examination was still held as planned.

After this episode, the imperial examination was even more eye-catching. At this time, the northwest was newly defeated, and the whole country was in a depressing atmosphere. The voice of peace talks completely prevailed, and the court also needed a perfect palace examination to attract attention.

In mid-March, Du Zhongxiao walked out of the inn and looked at the green banks of the Bian River in the hazy night, with a firm look. The date of the palace examination has finally arrived. I have worked hard for more than two years, and today it is the time to determine my destiny.

Donghuamen is full of people and bustling, which is even more lively than Du Zhongxiao's college entrance examination in his previous life. For hundreds of years, the famous scholars here checked their identities, received their license plates, and prepared to take the palace examination.

Du Zhongxiao brought pens and other necessary items and stood quietly outside the palace gate, watching the disciples rushing in front of the palace gate, with a calm eyes. It was already at this time, and there was no point in rushing ahead, but it would make the mood messy, and it would be better to let everything go.

The Chongzheng Hall has been well arranged, and everything is similar to the provincial trial, but the surrounding protection has become more strict. Not only are there many invigilators, but there are also guards in the palace, with distinctive clothes and solemnity.

After sitting down before the few cases where his name was written, Du Zhongxiao took a deep breath and closed his eyes to rest. At this time, the most important thing is to calm down, concentrate, and strive to achieve his best level.

Everything was like a ritual. When the paper was handed out, Du Zhongxiao opened it and felt his mind buzzing.

Poetry: Blow the rhythm and listen to the phoenix; Fu: respond to the heaven and the reality rather than the literature; Discussion: Those who Shunde prosper.

The least important poem is something that Du Zhongxiao did not come into contact with, but he knew the allusion that Ling Lun listened to the phoenix ringing and made the twelve rules. The five-character and six-rhyme poem should be made, which is completely different from the rules. As long as he does not deviate from the topic, he can match the rules. This is the basic skill of scholars.

The most important fu and theory were all taken by Du Zhongxiao. The Zhangchang Lun in Shunde came from an unknown book he bought from Daxiangguo Temple. Yingtian did not use the text to come from a joke with Han Jiang. Du Zhongxiao went back to practice with this topic for a long time.

Taking a deep breath, Du Zhongxiao copied the questions on the roll paper, put the questions he sent out into yellow bags, and hung them on his chest. Put them in a clean sheet, don't write them, close your eyes and sit quietly for a while, and relieve all kinds of messy thoughts. The topics of Fu and Theory were beaten, and this palace examination was almost certain, and a Jinshi could not escape. After practicing many times on weekdays, it was equivalent to Du Zhongxiao using his highest level to compare with the lower limit of most people. After failing the exam, don't move the mind of becoming a Jinshi. Of course, delusional top scorers are not realistic. Du Zhongxiao's level and the highest limit cannot match the performance of the most powerful people on the spot. This is a fact and cannot be forced.

After spreading the paper and dipped it in ink, Du Zhongxiao first wrote "Yingtian means reality but not literature". Du Zhongxiao did this fu many times, and asked Su Song and Han Jiang many times about the part of the response of heaven and man, making up for the most lacking link. Yingtian means reality but not literature. Du Zhongxiao once carefully considered what is literature and what is reality. In summary, disasters from heaven reflect that human politics do not cultivate, and that current politics should be cultivated with fear. This is to pray for the practice of the law and not cultivate human politics, but not cultivate human politics, so it is to carry out the text. This topic actually reflects the mentality of the court at that time, that is, dissatisfaction with politics in the past few years, and subconsciously tends to reform.

"Theory of the Shunde Escalation" is in line with Fu, emphasizing the importance of reforming internal affairs. If internal cultivation of moral politics can bring peace to the world.

Looking at this question, Du Zhongxiao's first thought of the New Deal of Qingli was the Qingli Policy. The palace examination questions were chosen by the emperor himself. Needless to ask, the emperor had already had the idea of ​​reforming the government affairs, and the whole country was about to usher in a major change. In fact, as soon as the palace examination questions were announced, the ministers who watched the ceremony knew it well, and some censors had begun to praise the emperor's wiseness.

Du Zhongxiao had already solved the difficulties of the topic, fu, and theory, and it was already early. At this time, it was the organizational language and wrote down the ideas that had been matured before in the best sentences. However, Du Zhongxiao was eager to seek fame and fortune, cautiously seeking stability, and did not dare to involve the northwest wars. He only compared the disasters and events in history to avoid real political events as much as possible. In this way, he also lost the opportunity to emerge from the top.

The Fu Theory was completed in one go, and Du Zhongxiao checked it over and over again, but there was no mistake. He sighed with emotion. This was his highest level, and I don’t know how many levels he could win in the end. In fact, "The Lunar New Year of the Shunde" or similar questions, not only Du Zhongxiao guessed, but many people in the exams at this time had guessed it. Because in recent imperial examinations, these questions were successively published from "accumulating good deeds to achieve virtue" to "great virtues to be born every day". However, no one guessed the Fu Theory, which was purely Du Zhongxiao's luck.

Finally, he finished writing the poem and sorting the papers, and it was already afternoon. Du Zhongxiao saw that one-third of the people in the hall had handed over the papers and left, and stopped delaying, and respectfully handed over the papers.

After leaving Donghua Gate, Han Jiang was waiting for his brother there, and Wang Anshi and Su Song were chatting next to him.

Seeing Du Zhongxiao come out, Han Jiang bowed far away: "Congratulations to Brother Du!" After saying that, he suddenly laughed to the sky.

Du Zhongxiao walked up and replied with a smile while saying, "This lucky thing is to give you all the blessings of Brother Han."

Han Jiang said: "This is your luck. God gave you a salary. What does it have to do with me? At that time, someone else forgot about it. How could he think you would go back and write a question and practice it carefully. You have talked with us many times, but who did you really practice it? I asked Brother Su just now, but he didn't expect that he was like me and did not do this topic specifically. This is a blessing from God. It's yours and it's yours, it's not that you can't force it."

Su Song also laughed: "If I had known that Brother Du could really guess the title, we would have done a few beautiful articles together and maybe win the top scorer."

Wang Anshi also learned that Du Zhongxiao had asked the two for questions and came forward to congratulate him. However, he was calm about his grades and had no expression.

Su Song said: "It's not to mention that it's still early, and we won't be drunk today. Since entering the capital, Brother Du has been worried, afraid that he will not win this time. He even guessed the title right now, so there is no reason to miss it!"

Han Jiang waved his hands repeatedly: "You go and order a banquet. I'll wait for my fifth brother here, and I'll look for you at that time."

Du Zhongxiao looked at the sky, breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly: "Okay, today I am working as an owner, and I will never return without getting drunk! I have left my hometown and come to Beijing for more than a year. I have worked hard and only thought about winning a Jinshi and returning home in glory. This time the topic was something I have practiced for many days, and there is always someone who can't escape. One day I get what I want, my heart will fall like a big rock, and people are much more relaxed."

Han Jiang, Wang Anshi, Su Song and others did a very smooth exam, with a relaxed expression, and laughed together after listening to Du Zhongxiao's words. Han Jiang was the most relaxed. He had an official to take the scientific exam. According to the practice of not winning the path of progress in poor families at this time, he could not win the top scorer.
