Even if he has lived in the Ming Dynasty for more than a year and has been in Beijing for several months, Zhao Hao is still too far away from the top level of the Ming Dynasty.

When there is no historical data to support him, he naturally has no way to explore what happened to the palace test in the second year of Longqing.

Besides, that's not something he should worry about.

But he can surmise that the large fluctuation in the candidates' scores is certainly not caused by the quality of the articles.

Because when I will test and mark the papers, each Chinese-style paper has been reviewed and considered by the same examiner and the chief examiner three or five or seven times. The level of writing that can be selected is fine, and the ranking is basically reasonable.

As mentioned earlier, the Chinese-style examinees basically don't know anything about national politics, and most of the palace examination articles they write are parroted, and the examiners basically judge the level of writing.

In addition, the marking of the palace examination is only two days. Therefore, the examiners have neither the patience nor the need to change the ranking of the examination.

Therefore, it can be concluded that it is caused by factors other than the text.

And because there are so many people involved in the change, it is impossible for someone to go through the relationship and the joint...... If there are so many moves, and the relationship between the national talent ceremony can be passed, then the Ming Dynasty will be overwhelmed.

There's only one reason for that – and that's the point of view!

Often, to be on the safe side, Chinese movers will adopt the views that are popular in officialdom as the core of their countermeasures.

Because they haven't stepped into politics yet, the bigwigs won't laugh at them.

On the contrary, rashly surprising will leave a bad impression on the bigwigs that they are not stable enough and grandstanding, so most of the opinions in the policy paper are clichés of the big road.

If it is the whimsical idea of the admitter, hoping to convey some views that are contrary to the general environment through the praise and disapproval of the temple test strategy, then it makes sense......

~~

After a bold conjecture, it is time to carefully verify it.

First of all, in this year's palace examination questions, Emperor Longqing asked a total of two questions - one is how to eliminate the displaced people, and the other is how to resist foreign humiliation.

Zhao Gongzi said that it was three, naturally in order to hide people's eyes. No matter how much he can pinch and calculate, he can't just guess all two, and he doesn't leave any margin.

That's not scientific.

Zhao Hao sat on the rocking chair by the stove and put a jacquard blanket on his knee.

Shaking slightly, he closed his eyes and recalled his impression of several top-ranked countermeasure papers.

Zhao Hao wants to refine their arguments and see what different views are hidden.

Especially the Luo Wanhua, who can actually make the big guy who can read the papers, ignore the rules for many years, and put on the crown of champion for a Chinese-style lifter at the end of the crane.

After carefully going through it in his heart, Luo Zhuangyuan's lengthy article of more than 4,000 words, Zhao Hao quickly refined the main points.

First of all, Luo Wanhua put forward a rather insightful statement in response to the problem of displaced people who are 'lazy and few returnees':

The first is, 'If you want to drive the people of the world to do this, there is no other way, but you can only pay for it.' ’

The so-called 'Guigu Su' comes from Chao Cuo's "On Guisu Shu". The general idea is to raise grain prices in order to increase peasant incomes. When peasants' incomes are high and their enthusiasm for farming increases, they are naturally willing to go back to farming.

Second, it is proposed to clear the land in the world and crack down on contributions, so that the powerful families cannot evade taxes, so as to share the heavy burden of the peasants.

Ten years later, Zhang Ju is implementing the 'Qingzhang Mu' across the country, which shows that Luo Zhuangyuan has two brushes.

The third is to restore the salt law formulated by Taizu - merchants transport grain to the border in exchange for salt, so that the price of grain will naturally rise, and the imperial court can also collect salt taxes to replace the exploitation of farmers, so as to increase the income of the people and reduce the burden.

On the second question, how to defend against the Tartars.

Luo Wanhua proposed a package plan of 'changing the status quo of emphasizing literature over military force', 'retraining troops in three years', 'accumulating strength through financial management using the method of salt tuning', and 'then seeking opportunities for a decisive battle'.

is also generally in line with Zhang Juzheng's thinking.

This made Zhao Hao's heart suddenly brighten up - it seems that this volume was recommended by Zhang Idol.

'Idols deserve to be idols, and they really promote talents in an eclectic way. Zhao Hao changed his tone and no longer thought that anyone was fooling around.

Can idols be called foolishness? That's a lot of foresight.

However, according to Zhao Hao's memory of the rules of the palace examination, the examiner can only recommend a dozen test papers, and finally decide the top ten, at least the top three candidates are the emperor.

Jinshi is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, how can the emperor hand over all the steps to the paper reader?

Then what did Emperor Longqing like about Luo Wanhua again?

Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and smiled dumbly.

At the beginning of Luo Zhuangyuan's volume, he shouted, 'The ministers will make a clear judgment and parallel, and then they can collect the real merits of the world', and in the penultimate paragraph, he shouted, "Your Majesty is asked to 'make an arbitrary decision, the monarch dominates his power, and it is like a thunderous drum in the sky, and the power is unpredictable'!"

With such intimate words, which emperor doesn't love it?

Thinking of the current government and the opposition, there is a call for 'the Holy Son of Heaven to rule by the arch', 'entrusting authority to the cabinet, and handing over government affairs to the six ministries', it is not surprising why Emperor Longqing turned Luo Wan into the champion.

~~

I thought back to a few other volumes, although the answers to the arguments varied. But what all those who are at the top have in common is that they have not forgotten to shout, 'Return the blessing to the Lord, please let Your Majesty dictatorship'!

As he thought deeply, Zhao Hao's thinking gradually became clearer.

It seems that the variables are on Zhang Juzheng and Emperor Longqing.

Judging from the fact that when the Houtou Pavilion selected Shu Jishi, he almost completely denied the ranking of the palace examination, and Xu Ge should be very dissatisfied with this.

Because the Gilis was jointly selected by the Shoufu and the Hanlin Academy. Considering the relationship between Zhao Zhenji and Xu Jie. It can be rudely believed that the candidates for Shu Jishi were all finalized by Xu Gelao.

It is normal for Xu Ge to be dissatisfied, because the weapon he used to defeat Yan Song and force Gao Gong back was Yanguan.

One of the things officials have been doing is to limit the power and freedom of the emperor—

Among them, some of them are reasonable, such as advising the emperor not to let the eunuchs dictate things, so as not to repeat the eunuch rebellion of Wuzong.

But more exhortations are purely nitpicking. For example, the emperor was not allowed to return to Yudi to be nostalgic, the emperor was forbidden to go to the suburbs of Beijing to relax, and the emperor was suspected of having the intention of traveling at public expense and forbade him to go to Mount Tai to worship and so on.

Even the emperor had not been in the same room with the queen for too long, and he had to take it out and talk about it in a grand manner, which made Longqing lose face in front of the world.

In addition, Gao Gong was beaten down by the officials before, and Emperor Longqing was extremely disgusted by this group of 'righteous people' who talked about Tianxian, but did not pay attention to internal and external troubles, and only stared at their every move and said irresponsible things.

And Xu Jie, in the struggle between the emperor and the official, undoubtedly stood on the side of the latter.

In other words, the latter was his hound, and of course the owner had to protect it.

In July of last year, Emperor Longqing issued an order to the cabinet to inspect Kedao. In order to protect the official, Xu Ge stopped this investigation.

It can be said that Emperor Longqing, who had just ascended to the pole for more than a year, was completely controlled by the civil official group headed by Xu Gelao, and he couldn't do anything he wanted.

That's why the emperor will do things in this palace examination, and he wants to promote those who are willing to maintain the emperor's authority, and let those who shout 'The Holy Son of Heaven will rule by arching' all come to the back?

Even if you still can't help the official, can you use this way to state your position and breathe a sigh of relief?

Eighty percent of that is. Zhao Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that he had finally figured it out.

Then how to teach the disciples to make a fuss, it will be a matter of course.
