"What about writing style?" Liu Xiuwen asked dissatisfiedly.

Zhou Yu glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Are you comparing with a great scholar?"

"oh……"

Liu Xiuwen blushed and everyone burst into laughter. He knew in his heart that if the ideas of his nine people really conformed to the best, the top scorer would only be Luo Xin.

but……

They forgot that the top scorer ordered by the emperor was within twelve test papers, and these twelve test papers were selected by the examiner and submitted to him.

At this time, Lu Bing and Xu Jie were carrying these twelve selected test papers through the corridor and heading straight for the Shengshou Palace.

The lights in the Shengshou Palace were brightly lit. Emperor Jiajing sat behind the imperial desk, narrowing his eyes slightly and waiting for the test papers delivered.

When Lu Bing and Xu Jie arrived in front of the gate of the Shengshou Palace, Huang Jin had been waiting there. The two of them bowed to Huang Jin and said:

"The father-in-law is responsible for reporting!"

Huang Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty has already given me instructions. You don't need to report when you come. Come in with our family."

"Please, father-in-law!"

Huang Jin turned around and walked into the Shengshou Palace first. Lu Bing and Xu Jie followed closely and bowed to Emperor Jiajing:

"My minister Xu Jie!"

"My minister Lu Bing!"

"Please respectfully the Holy One!"

"Get up!" Emperor Jiajing's voice recalled from above: "You have worked hard enough these days, so I'll give you a seat."

Immediately, the eunuch brought two brocade stools, and Xu Jie and Lu Bing thanked him before they sat down.

Emperor Jiajing looked at the stack of test papers in Xu Jie's hand, and Xu Jie hurriedly stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, the test papers have been screened."

Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, and Huang Jin walked out of the shadow, took the stack of test papers from Xu Jie, and placed them on the imperial calligraphy desk. Emperor Jiajing's rare expression became solemn, and he began to look at the test papers one by one, but the more he looked, the ugly his face became. Not to mention that there was no Luo Xin's name in these twelve papers, even the answers were firmly aligned with the saying of opening the sea. This made Emperor Jiajing look longer and looked at Xu Jie with a long look:

"Is this the article you selected?"

Xu Jie said with a blank expression: "Your Majesty, these twelve test papers are the best test papers in this palace examination."

"I'm sure there is no omission?" Emperor Jiajing's voice was a little cold.

Xu Jie's expression was still dull. In fact, the articles of Luo Xin and other Jinyang Nine Masters were not entirely Xu Jie's selfish intentions. He also saw the difficulties of the Ming Dynasty. If we follow this momentum, it would be only a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. If we want to solve the problem of insufficient land in the Ming Dynasty, we can only open the sea. So he not only dismissed Luo Xin's unique papers, but also all the papers that opposed open seas. So when Emperor Jiajing asked him again, he hurriedly stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Ming Dynasty is now in financial difficulties, and if you want to solve the financial problems, you can only open the sea. So I chose the papers according to this idea. There are three ideas for candidates' articles. The first is to only talk about how to pacify the Japanese, and after pacifying the Japanese, how to prevent Japanese pirates from happening in the coastal areas, but there is no involvement. This kind of person thinks that his eyes are too shallow. The second is to not support Kaihai. Such people stick to the rules and are not suitable for the development of the Ming Dynasty today. The twelve test papers selected by me all agree with the best of the Kaihai articles."

Emperor Jiajing looked coldly at Xu Jie who was standing opposite him and talking. Xu Jie said this without any personal grudges, but just starting from the interests of the court. Didn’t you, Emperor Jiajing, propose to open the sea? That’s why I chose articles that support open the sea to support Your Majesty. This made Emperor Jiajing feel extremely frustrated in his heart for a while, but he didn’t know how to speak.

Two days passed quickly.

With the solemn Jingyang Bell ringing, the three main doors of the five gates of the palace, the two tucked doors that opened east and west slowly opened at the same time. After walking out of the door, the two teams of great men wearing golden flying fish suits and holding a 1 zhang painted halberd, raised their chests and raised their heads, and walked towards the four door holes in a uniform step, standing next to the five avenues inside the door.

At the same time, outside the palace gate, all civil and military officials had arrived, and new Jinshi such as Luo Xin were also standing in line. Every candidate was very excited. After today, they were one of the officials standing in front.

Looking at the majestic palace, the mighty generals of the Han Dynasty, and the noble officials, thinking about the years they studied hard, some candidates' eyes were already wet.

At this time, Luo Xin's eyes fell on the three extremely tall door holes on the front, especially the door hole in the middle was even taller. Only the emperor could walk on this door hole. If others dared to walk, they would be killed immediately.

However, now three of Luo Xin and other candidates have a chance to walk.

There were two privileges in the Ming Dynasty. One was that when the queen was married, she could walk from here once. The other was that the top scorer in the palace examination, and the second scorer and Tanhua could walk once.

At this time, it was not only Luo Xin's eyes that looked at the tall gate in the middle, but all the candidates looked there. Being able to pass there is the greatest glory of scholars in their lives, not only to shine their ancestors, but also to leave their names in history. They even believe that they will not be the top scorer, the second scorer and the Tanhua people, and their eyes at the gate were full of envy and reluctance.

“Will I be one of the people who walked through there?”

Even Luo Xin was also a little excited at this time. He stood in the center of the team. As the examination chief, he received this treatment. All the candidates wore black jewel Jinshi scarfs, wide-sleeved silk robes, leather belts, and tablets in their arms. Everyone stood there solemnly, and the solemnity of the officials spread in everyone's heart.

Luo Xin was calm at this time. He really didn't take the top scorer seriously. As long as he became a Jinshi, he was satisfied. Finally, his future development in his career depends on his personal ability. Not that the top scorer will definitely become the capital of the cabinet. Zhang Juzheng in history was the sixth, and did he also become the capital of the cabinet?

There has been a lot of news in the past two days. After all, some of these candidates have a good background. The news that Xu Jie finally selected all agreed to Kaihai, which shows that candidates who do not agree to Kaihai will not be ranked first, second place and Tanhua.

The nine masters of Jinyang were in a very depressed mood these two days. They expected the question given by Emperor Jiajing, but they did not expect that they did not understand the correct thoughts of Emperor Jiajing. However, they could not blame Luo Xin for this matter. They agreed with Luo Xin's opinion after careful consideration.
