When Su Tiancheng participated in the palace examination, he was full of confidence, as a township test solution yuan, will test the yuan, it is said that there will be no problems in the palace examination.

On March 15, Su Tiancheng and many tribute students rushed outside the Forbidden City.

In the Forbidden City, next to the city gate, there are sergeant handles from afar, and all the family servants who followed.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were already waiting outside the city, and the identities of all of them had already been verified.

After counting the number of people, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, with everyone, entered the city gate.

After only a few steps, the team stopped inside the city gates.

Su Tiancheng couldn't help but look at the city walls on both sides.

He is the one who will test the yuan and walk in the front.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites noticed the abnormal movement in the procession, and once again reminded everyone softly that after entering the palace, they must not look around, lest they spoil the etiquette and ask for trouble.

The reminder of the officials of the Ministry of Rites made everyone sober up, and everyone behaved well, lowered their hands and bowed their heads, and did not squint.

After waiting for half an hour, Su Tiancheng felt that his legs were a little numb, what are you doing when you come in so early, standing here like a fool, there are really many rules in the palace, I just like to torture people, in order to reflect the majesty of the royal family.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites finally took everyone to start entering the Forbidden City, everyone was very careful, looking at the feet of the people in front of them, it seemed that they were going to walk on the footprints of the people in front of them, Su Tiancheng was a little more free, anyway, in front of him, there were officials of the Ministry of Rites, as long as they followed.

It's not yet dawn, and there's nothing to see.

Twisting and turning, I don't know how many roads have been detoured, Su Tiancheng is a little strange. Hundreds of years later, he also visited the Forbidden City, and it was not so complicated.

The Forbidden City is divided into an outer city and an inner city, the inner city is where the emperor and the queen, the concubines live, and of course, the queen mother and others.

As for the outer city, all six departments are based here.

After walking a little dizzy, the sky gradually brightened, and the group finally came to the outside of the Baohe Palace.

The splendid Baohe Palace, the shock to everyone, is still very great.

Finally, a eunuch came, Su Tiancheng raised his head and was surprised, this eunuch was actually Qin Sande.

Qin Sande had already seen Su Tiancheng, Su Tiancheng lowered his head and closed his eyes, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking, if other people were like this, Qin Sande would have scolded him a long time ago, but Su Tiancheng did this, Qin Sande would not have opened his mouth, but he thought it was very interesting, this Su Tiancheng not only could speak, but he was also bold enough, this was in the palace, he dared to close his eyes and recuperate.

Qin Sande looked at Su Tiancheng and smiled, and Su Tiancheng also smiled at Qin Sande.

When I entered the Bohol Hall, the table was already set, there were no stools, and everyone sat on the floor when they were doing the problem.

After a while, the ministers of the imperial court appeared, and the ministers who walked in the front, of course, were Zhou Yanru, followed by Wen Tiren, and the rest of the cabinet ministers, the six Shangshu, and the imperial envoys, followed behind and entered the Baohe Palace.

At the end of the day, Wang Chengen appeared in the palace of Baohe.

"The emperor drove to ......"

Everyone knelt down, including Gongsheng who participated in the palace examination, and Su Tiancheng knelt at the front.

Zhu Youzhen has been on the throne for five years, and he is only twenty-one years old, a typical young man.

Su Tiancheng wanted to look up, but here, it was indeed impossible to make a mistake, so many ministers were staring, if he messed up the etiquette, he might be blasted out immediately.

"The Qing's family is flat."

The soft voice came, Su Tiancheng was a little suspicious of his ears, this voice sounded like the voice of a middle-aged man, Zhu Youzhen was only twenty-one years old, and he had such a mature atmosphere, could it be that the emperor was really different from mortals.

"You tributes should also be flat."

Su Tiancheng got up suddenly, his movements were a little fast, and in the process, he actually raised his head and glanced at it.

Zhu Youzhen is indeed a young man, although he has an old expression on his face, he can't hide his youthful mentality, and his face reveals a simple atmosphere.

This is not a particularly bad emperor, or even an emperor who does not have much scheming, this expression shows that Zhu Youzhen is eager to improve the situation of the Ming Dynasty and expects to get the greatest help.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, this is a natural state of mind, and the emperor cannot be an exception, no wonder later, the cabinet ministers, like a marquee, adjusted.

Zhu Youzhen also noticed Su Tiancheng, seeing Su Tiancheng's movements so fast, and looking at himself, he felt very interesting, and unconsciously had a better impression of Su Tiancheng.

Zhu Youzhen is also a young man, although he is an emperor and a young man has become old, but the young man's heart has not been completely lost.

Su Tiancheng's movements, Wang Chengen also noticed it, seeing Su Tiancheng's youthful aura, willing to move can touch the emperor, loyal Wang Chengen, of course he is happy.

The palace examination only asks questions, and there are more than 300 tribute students who participate in the palace examination, and it is impossible for the emperor to come up with so many questions and ask every tribute student who participates in the palace examination, so the focus is still on the tribute students to make a fuss, and the emperor will unify the questions to see who writes well.

The palace test began soon, and after getting the question, Su Tiancheng smiled slightly, this is a passage in the middle of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching: Governing a big country, if you cook a small fresh, and use the Tao to visit the world, its ghosts are not gods. It is not a ghost or a god, and its god does not hurt people. If it is not a god, it does not hurt people, and a saint does not hurt people. The husband and wife do not hurt each other, so virtue is returned.

The meaning of this passage is that the governance of the country requires careful care, to be just right, not to go overboard, and not to fall short. But this passage, for thousands of years, countless people have given many explanations, including many emperors, each with their own opinions, anyway, they are all interpreted in the direction of their own rule.

Zhu You's detection of such a topic, it seems simple, but in fact it is not simple, this is a policy theory for governing the country, it is very difficult to do, not to mention that most of the tribute students who participated in the palace examination today have no actual experience in politics, even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty may not be able to make a splendid article.

The simpler the topic, the more difficult it is to make an article.

Sure enough, after many tribute students got the question, smiles appeared on their faces, and some people didn't even think about it, and began to write, as if they were full of confidence.

Su Tiancheng still thought about it for a while, among all the tributes, he was the most reluctant, and he thought about it for an hour.

To do a good job in this article, it is indeed not easy, this is like an admonition, to grasp accurately, blindly righteous Ling Ran, say some big truths, how can people listen to your opinions, before you finish listening, others are angry, Lao Tzu also wants you, a novice who doesn't know anything, to educate.

Blindly talking empty words, it is even more undesirable, taking out the understanding of so many emperors before, sprinkled a large article, and after seeing the most lucrative, there is no content, let alone its own opinions.

When Su Tiancheng put pen to paper, he already had a draft, he started from two major aspects, to do this article, the first aspect, from the four words of respect for heaven and law, what kind of person is the emperor, the true dragon son of heaven, the ancestors of the royal family are the best people, the dragon among people, so the royal family is the most arrogant, the most correct, when the emperor governs the country, he must revere God, obey the will of heaven, and abide by the legal system of the ancestors.

The focus of the article, in the second part, the reason why the first part was written, the purpose is to please the emperor, there is no way, don't do it, the emperor is not happy, the content of the second part is divided into three aspects, the development of foreign trade, the development of industry and commerce, the development of overseas colonies, in terms of foreign trade and overseas colonies, Su Tiancheng made a key exposition, nothing more than my Ming is a big country, naturally to take on the responsibility of leading the world, some undeveloped land, wild land, need my Ming to reform.

At the end, Su Tiancheng talked about the predicament faced by the imperial court, three aspects, the first is the invasion of the Houjin, the second is the harassment of the rogues, and the third is the domestic famine.

He wrote two opinions, one of which is to settle the inside first, to make a heavy hand, to eliminate the rogue, do not raise a tiger for trouble, the rogue is because of the life of the force, can be a long time to intrude the place, the heart changes, it is difficult to live in peace, has become a disaster, clear the rogue, and then consider conquering the Houjin.

The second is to improve people's livelihood, which is a cliché, but Su Tiancheng put forward a point of view, it is better to give money than to give policies, you can choose two to three prefectures and counties, and appropriately give some policies to the localities, so that they can combine the actual local situation, give full play to their abilities, and carry out their work creatively.

In fact, this is the way the SAR does it.

Su Tiancheng's consideration is far-reaching, since he has decided to go out, then try to win the policy to the greatest extent, if he goes to the county, he will be constrained too much by his superiors, it will be difficult to deal with, and he may even be exhausted, people will be tired to death, and the drama will not be good.

It is even more naïve to directly fight for the emperor's policy, and he does not have such an opportunity, but he is afraid that as soon as he puts it forward, the ministers of the DPRK and China will reprimand him.

The article is not long, the article of the palace test, don't write too long, people look very tired, ignore the essence of the article, the effect is often not good.

In less than two hours, Su Tiancheng finished the article, and when Shen Shi, he handed in the paper, which also included the time for lunch at noon.

Of course, the food was rewarded by the emperor.

Su Tiancheng was the first to submit the papers.

This is also where he is smart, he handed in the paper earlier, Zhu Youzhen can take time to read his own article, maybe he will remember the suggestions he put forward, and when he is happy, he waved his pen and issued a holy decree, which approved his own opinion, and wouldn't it be much more convenient for things in the future.

Of course, this is Su Tiancheng's wishful thinking, and he doesn't know what the result will be.
