No matter how ecstatic Song Shilie, who was in high school, celebrated, and no matter how depressed Huang Zongxi, who was ranked outside the 500 places, reflected on it, Chongzhen's four-year spring festival came to a rapid end in the next half month.

Song Shiyeol, a North Korean tribute who topped the high school entrance examination, did not rank first again in the next re-examination of the Ministry of Rites.

However, the content of the Gongyuan re-examination is only a question made by Xu Guangqi, the chief examiner, and asks the already Chinese-style tribute scholars to write a current article.

And its purpose is only to test whether there are impostors or indiscriminate people among these admitted tributes, and it is not included in the results of the general examination, and it has nothing to do with the results of the palace examination.

After the re-examination of the Ministry of Rites, it is the palace examination in the Forbidden City.

This time, the palace test was still arranged in the Emperor's Palace, which has the largest space among the three major halls.

Although the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City is wide and large, the entry of more than 500 tributes, plus the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Metropolitan Procuratorate who preside over the invigilation, as well as the gun-wielding captains who maintain order in the front division of the Jinyi Guard Palace, still seem a little crowded.

But at this time, no one will care about these details.

In this way, on April 20 of the fourth year of Chongzhen, from morning to night, 510 new Kegong soldiers gathered together, under the personal supervision of Emperor Chongzhen, in the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City, drawing a successful end to the spring of Chongzhen's four years.

Like the Enke palace test in the first year of Chongzhen, the strategy of this palace test is also a question that Emperor Chongzhen personally said in public after he arrived at the scene of the Huangji Palace.

However, unlike the last time when he focused on how to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen directly threw out the question of Huayi's distinction this time.

On the morning of April 20 in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the high throne of the Huangji Palace, facing the five hundred and ten tributes gathered in the main hall, and said sonorously and powerfully:

"Zi said that Yidi has a king, and it is not as good as the death of Zhuxia. Emperor Ming Dynasty founder of the country sincerity Bo Liu Wencheng Gong also said, Fuhua Yi Jun Fang, a king Dafa, Hu Zhu China, several changes in Yi, the Bible is clear, thousands of years or oblivion.

"I read the books of the ancient sages and sages, and think about the ancient sages in Huayi's distinction is the most important, and its biblical meaning is the most important thing in the world, although it is thousands of years old, it must not be left to oblivion!

"Now the Jianyu outside the gate is really not peaceful, the northwest Musu barbarian drive has not been appeased, and the Taixi Zhuyi has crossed the ocean!

"Among them, the so-called Dutch Yi, Portuguese Yi, Spanish Yiyi, and even any English Yiyi are all wolf ambitions and bad comers! Every time I think of this, I can't help but worry about the rise and fall of my Ming Dynasty and the vassal states!

"Qing and others are all tributes in the world today, and they are the best among the thousands of scholars in the four seas! In the next few years and more than ten years, those who rule the world, rejuvenate China, and resist foreign insults are the Qing and other Chinese people!

"I think that at this moment, if you want to rule the world, you must not ignore the distinction of Huayi, and today's palace test will be based on this topic, and Qing and others will analyze it for me!"

On the surface, Emperor Chongzhen's palace test topic is completely a scoring question.

Since Emperor Chongzhen repeatedly talked about Taizu's discussion of Yuan Yuanwen in the martial arts hall and the guards, more than three years have passed now.

The scholars under the world of the Ming Dynasty, but anyone who is interested in the imperial examination, no matter how stupid and dull they are, at this time they already know the emperor's thoughts and interests.

As the saying goes, there must be something good at the top, and Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts and interests have been so clear, how can the people who read in the world not do what they like!

Therefore, in the past two or three years, between the Beijing Division and the Jiangnan Fang, famous teachers and Confucians have interpreted and commented on the articles of Taizu on Yuan Zhuwen (that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's "Edict to the Central Plains"), which has also emerged in endlessly.

To this day, the children of Shilin up and down the Yellow River and north and south of the Great River have long regarded the recitation of this Taizu Yuan text as a compulsory course.

This time, these people who participated in the spring festival of Chongzhen's fourth year are no exception.

Therefore, as soon as the topic of the palace trial theory set by Emperor Chongzhen himself was said, the five hundred and ten tributes who listened attentively were all secretly relieved.

There are a few new Kegongshi, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen's voice fell, he laid paper and polished ink, and began to plan the layout and make drafts.

However, this topic seems simple, but it can investigate which of the tributes in this subject can stand at the height of the times and have a deep insight and grasp of the current situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, such a strategic topic can also make it easy for the current Emperor Chongzhen to find those who really meet his requirements from among the five hundred and ten tributes.

After Emperor Chongzhen arranged the topic of the palace test, the palace of the emperor quickly quieted down, and all the tributes sat on their knees, writing on their desks.

Next, Emperor Chongzhen got down from the dragon chair as he did in the last palace test, walked back and forth twice in the wide and bright Imperial Palace, and also stood by Huang Zongxi's side, and carefully read the answer sheet of this famous thinker in later generations for a while.

And Huang Zongxi, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, cold and stubborn, also found that he was not so different from others.

When the Emperor stood beside him, watching him write his proposal, he trembled with nervousness, and his pen-wielding arm trembled involuntarily, so much so that he sprinkled bits of ink on the fine rice paper without realizing it.

It wasn't until the emperor in the bright yellow dragon robe left his side that Huang Zongxi took a long breath.

This palace examination began at one o'clock in the morning of the same day, and all the papers were handed in before three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day.

By the morning of the second day, the yellow list of Chongzhen's four-year new science and technology scholars had been posted on time on the wall of the front street of the inner Gongyuan of Chongwenmen.

After half a month, the inner and outer cities of the Ming Dynasty were once again lively because of the release of the list of new science and technology scholars.

For several days in a row, the large and small restaurants in the city of Beijing were full of new scholars calling friends and banqueting guests.

The results of the temple examination are naturally different from the results of the ritual examination.

Song Siyeol, a member of the North Korean government, was still in the top 10 of the palace examinations drawn up by several cabinet ministers, but he did not retain his first place.

At the same time, Chen Yutai, the champion of the Chongzhen Fourth Spring Palace Test in history, did not even enter the top ten list in this life.

In the original history, Chongzhen's four-year president of Chunfu was Zhou Yanru, who was deeply trusted by Emperor Chongzhen in history.

And Chen Yutai, the champion figure, is precisely Zhou Yanru's relative.

Therefore, when Chen Yutai won the champion, the public opinion of the government and the opposition in Beijing was in an uproar, and everyone thought that there was fraud in it.

However, at that time, Zhou Yanru was favored by Emperor Chongzhen, so the accusation of fraud in his scientific field could not be resolved.

But Chen Yutai, the champion, was affected, and it was supposed that he should have entered the Hanlin Academy as an official, but he was not appointed by the Ministry of Officials.

After the incident, Chen Yutai's title as the champion was still retained, but in the end, he ended up living at home and did not play the role that the champion should play.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen in this life, Chen Yutai, as in history, was also admitted to the Jinshi, but Zhou Yanru had already been given the appointment of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites by the emperor, and it was impossible to help him win the honor of champion.

This time, he was finally selected by Emperor Chongzhen from among the five hundred and 10 tributes, hand-picked as the first, and became the champion, which is another national hero who is not well known to future generations after the death of the Ming Dynasty in history.

At this time, Zuo Maodi, who was exactly 30 years old, won the second place in the Shandong Township Examination held in Jinan last year and won the qualification to participate in the Spring Festival of Jinke.

In the original history, he was also a Zhongjin scholar in Chongzhen for four years, but his ranking was far above the top three, and it did not attract the attention of Emperor Chongzhen at all.

It was this Zuo Maodi, who represented the Southern Ming Dynasty as an envoy to Beijing after the death of the Ming Dynasty, and was detained by Dolgon, the regent of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at the time.

At that time, more than one of the champions, Bangyan, and Tanhua of the Chongzhen Dynasty surrendered to the Manchu alien race in the south.

And he, a Jinshi who was born at the end of the three lists, maintained his integrity in the face of coercion and temptation again and again.

Dolgon sent Hong Chengchou to persuade him to surrender, but was scolded by Zuo Mao's first comrade.

Later, Dolgon sent Zuo Maodi's cousin Zuo Maotai to persuade him to surrender, but he was also scolded by Zuo Maodi, and Zuo Maodi also cut off his robe with this cousin of his.

Later, when the city of Nanjing was broken and the Hongguang regime collapsed in an instant, Dolgon ordered someone to bring Zuo Maodi to the front and personally persuade him to surrender.

As a result, after hearing that the city of Nanjing was broken and Jiangnan was separated, Zuo Maodi still resolutely refused to surrender after crying bitterly, and scolded Dolgon, only seeking a quick death.

Seeing that Zomodi would not surrender after all, Dorgon ordered him to be beheaded.

As the saying goes, when the poor season is present, Bandang knows loyal ministers, and Zuo Maodi is the loyal minister who withstood the test when the last Han dynasty was poor.

For today's Emperor Chongzhen, a figure like Zuo Maodi, as long as he has the opportunity, must be promoted and reused, and he will be given enough honor during his lifetime.

As far as his heart is concerned, this can be regarded as a tribute to his soul from later generations, to the national heroes and martyrs who emerged in the era of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen's four-year spring festival, bustling and disturbing for more than a month, finally ended in late April.

Zuo Mao's first place is the champion; Yang Tinglin ranked second in the first class and was the eye of the list; Song Shilie ranked third in the first class, and was the eye of the list, and all three of them were given Jinshi and first.

In addition, one hundred and fifty-seven people, including Chen Zilong, Fan Zhiwan, Jin Yixi, and Yang Shenwu, ranked in the second class, all of whom were born as Jinshi;

Zhang Jinyan, Yang Ju, Jin Ji, Huang Zongxi and other 350 people ranked among the top three, all of whom were born as Jinshi.
