This time, the Gongshi who were eliminated from the interview would definitely faint from tears. They were also unlucky. If they had taken the imperial examination earlier, they would never have encountered this kind of thing.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Zhu Kezang began to concentrate on the interview.

And now, sitting on an embroidered pier, talking eloquently, it is Pan Boheng who has real skills.

Seeing him, Zhu Kezang lamented that the Pan family was very lucky. They were both talented in both literature and martial arts.

There are a total of three questions in today's interview. The first is how Qingliu Logistics can be used for the country - this question is used to recruit propaganda cadres for the imperial court.

The second is how to manage rent collection in official settlements and military fields - as the number of military settlements increases, many officials are needed to manage them, and the talent gap in this area is also huge.

The third question is more sensitive, how to increase the court's income without harming the interests of farmers.

The interview is for candidates to choose one answer from three questions.

It is impossible to answer all three questions. Three hundred people were interviewed. If they answered all three questions, would the emperor still need to rest?

Because it is a multiple-choice answer, almost no one will choose the third option because it is too sensitive. There is no clan in the new Ming Dynasty, so the answer is definitely not to kill the clan. The business tax is also collected, and it cannot be targeted at businessmen, so it can only kill the scholars.

By myself.

Pan Boheng chose the first question because he felt the same way.

I have been bullied online in recent days and I know the importance of public opinion.

"Your Majesty, it is clear that there are no tigers in the city, but three people's words can turn into tigers. People's words can turn into tigers, and people's words can also be feared! And my Qingliu Wuyi is especially formidable. If we can take advantage of the situation and make use of it, we can do it.

When the country uses it, what we need to fear is the traitors of the country attacking the enemy. To make people's words work, it is not enough to rely on blocking alone. There should also be mouthpieces and pens that can be used by the court! Only in this way can righteousness be upheld."

Looking at Pan Boheng talking eloquently, Zhu Kezang fell into memories.

I remember that in his senior year, he left the construction site in order to carry buckets, so he chose to take the public examination for civil engineering.

That year, his overall score in the written examination and interview was second, and he failed, so he had no choice but to return to the construction site.

What a painful memory.

"Okay! Okay! Good answer!" Zhu Kezang nodded with a smile on his face.

This guy is one of our own, he is reliable!

If you take a closer look, you'll see that he looks pretty good, gentle and elegant, and he looks much more pleasing to Pan Aqiang.

I don't know how it was born.

Civil servants often appear in front of the emperor, so it’s no good if they don’t look good to the audience!

Zhu Kezang then said, "Yucheng (Pan Boheng's name), your results in the palace examination must be good, and you will soon be a Jinshi, but what?"

Pan Boheng stood up quickly and listened to Zhu Kezang's teachings.

Most people can’t hear it!

"Starting from next year, it will be difficult to become an official in the Ming Dynasty. Civil servants will gradually implement the trial-official system." The so-called trial-official system is to add a probation period to the new officials of the Ming Dynasty!

In other words, starting from next year, new officials will use it for three months before they are officially awarded the title.

Three months later, the Ministry of Personnel will assess the performance in conjunction with the superior officer. Those who pass the exam will be converted into official officials, awarded official ranks and paid full salary.

During the probation period, only half of the salary will be paid!

Originally Zhu Kezang wanted to add a last-place elimination system, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was inappropriate.

Because the last-place elimination system will only deepen the personal dependence relationship in the officialdom, because the first ones to be eliminated will definitely be those minor officials who have nothing to do!

Under the elimination system, it will be more convenient for some high-ranking officials to raise "private soldiers" and eliminate dissidents!

Because if you disobey, they will eliminate you in minutes.

Therefore, officials of the Ming Dynasty must not implement the last elimination system.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me!"

Zhu Kezang nodded and started interviewing the next candidate!

One after another, the emperor interviewed 300 people by himself. It was really tiring, and it took several days to complete the interview.

Zhu Kezang thought, how about cutting down the number of people next time and only taking the imperial examination to 100 people?

Reduce the workload for yourself.

The more Zhu Kezang thought about it, the more it made sense. Anyway, it was all about streamlining the organization, so let’s start from here!

As for the ranking in this palace examination, everything is unspecified.

On the first day of March in the tenth year of Shenwu, the sky gradually became brighter, the stars and moon disappeared, the sky turned white, and the night gradually faded.

A ray of golden light broke through the layers of clouds and mists from the east, and Yingtian Imperial City ushered in the first ray of morning light.

As the sky gets brighter, the courtyard in front of Daming Gate has been closed.

Ting Liao was the torch that illuminated the palace, but in the new Ming Dynasty it was more advanced and had been changed to electric lights!

At present, Daming power is only used on a small scale within the imperial city.

The candidates waiting in front of the Daming Gate looked at the strange electric lights and were puzzled.

Suddenly, the Jingyang bell rang. The melodious and majestic bell, accompanied by the sound of the drum at Duanmen, echoed among the red walls and blue tiles of the imperial city!

Jingyang was the name of the palace in the Southern Dynasties. Emperor Wu of Qi placed a bell on the Jingyang Tower. Civil servants and military generals heard the bells of Jingyang, and officials discussed politics early in the morning. Later dynasties and generations all relied on the bells of Jingyang.

The melodious and atmospheric bells startled the swallows in front of the palace to fly up.

Swallows soared in front of the Daming Gate, sometimes flying low, sometimes flying over the double eaves on the tower and soaring into the sky.

The candidates at the scene couldn't help but think of a poem: In the old days, the king and the swallow in front of the hall flew into the homes of ordinary people.

Pan Boheng's eyes fell from Feiyan, because the vermillion-red Daming Gate in front of him opened from the left and right with a dull creaking sound.

The palace gates and palace forbidden areas are opened one by one along the central axis from the outside to the inside.

Although I have seen this scene many times, I am still filled with emotion every time!

They were about to witness the Ming Dynasty's court meeting.

The court meeting was one of the main ways for the imperial power to be exercised, and it was also the main way for the emperor to convene his ministers to discuss government affairs.

The court ceremony is divided into major court ceremony and regular court ceremony.

The Great Chao ceremony is the most solemn, but it is only performed on the first day of the lunar month and the winter solstice.

Generally called Chang Chao Yi, Chang Chao Yi is also divided into two levels, depending on the location, which are called Chang Chao Royal Palace Yi and Chang Chao Royal Gate Yi.

Changchao Royal Gate Ceremony, which means the Royal Gate listens to government affairs, is held at Huangji Gate (Fengtian Gate).

The emperor ascended his throne directly outside the Huangji Gate, and hundreds of officials paid homage to the emperor in the large square outside the gate.

Changchao Imperial Palace Ceremony, which is when the Imperial Palace listens to government affairs, is held in the Huangji Palace (Fengtian Palace).

However, after the Yongle period, imperial rituals were rarely used.

Only in the twelfth lunar month of winter, when the weather was too cold, all the officials would finish their salutes outside the gate and then go into the palace to hold court discussions.

But today is a special case, because today we are going to preach!

The ranking is about to be announced and the names are read out one by one. This is a glorious moment for scholars!

Chuanyun is a major national event, related to the country, so it is necessary to perform royal rituals in Fengtian Palace to show solemnity.

Otherwise, it would not be Chuanlu of the Golden Palace, but Chuanlu of the Imperial Gate.

As soon as the Daming Gate opened, Li Zhongjie, an old eunuch from Li, walked out and said: "Your Majesty has decreed that civil servants and officials and newly promoted scholars should come to Fengtian Palace to pay homage!

Hundreds of officials have gathered outside the Ming Dynasty Gate.

Prime Minister Chen Yonghua and several ministers of the six departments were all the examiners who participated in the evaluation yesterday. Yesterday, Zhu Kezang had already appointed the top three and filled out the gold list. The examiners already knew who the top scholar in this subject would be.
