The fourteenth old man looked at the group of people in front of him, and the unhappiness in his eyes made the people in front of him almost tremble. This was the glare of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and it was possible that someone would die.

"Prince, then Sun Jiagan doesn't know anything..."

"Fart!" Lao Shisi said angrily: "Then Sun Jiagan is a famous person. Since he said it, why don't you let go? Do you want me to look ugly?"

The few people in front of him bowed their heads and said nothing. They sent someone to say that the person who was sent to the Fourteenth Master was rejected. After being shameless, they stopped the people below from taking personal revenge. In turn, these people were also the ones who said good things to Sun Jiagan. Why is it so difficult to be a job for the Fourteenth Master?

Almost at the same time, Lord Lu also arrived at the Thirteenth Mansion. When there was no one around, Lord Lu whispered: "Prince, I have seen a few good articles this time..."

"Take it." Lao Thirteen said, then put down the official documents in his hand.

Lord Lu quickly sent a few articles. Lao Shisan couldn't help but smile when he saw the last one, "Is this done in one go? Also, what's going on with this ghost talisman?"

Lord Lu smiled bitterly. They were all scholars, so you can tell whether they read it in one go. No matter whether it is ink color, writing skills, or whether they have eaten in the middle, there will be obvious differences.

After telling Gao Pang's general situation to Master Thirteen, Master Lu explained: "Prince, Gao Pang said that he didn't remember it very clearly. He could only use this sign to remember which paragraph it was."

"Oh. It's a bit interesting." Lao Shisan nodded, "You ask them to write a few more articles for these people. What's the topic here."

"Prince. This..." Lord Lu was a little uneasy.

"Don't be afraid. I asked Sun Jiagan to see it, it has nothing to do with this scientific expedition."

Lord Lu was a little relieved. After all, the examiner was Sun Jiagan, a person who dared to publicly say that he was "good name" during the Yongzheng Dynasty. Such a person cherishes his feathers so much, and if there is any involvement, something will happen.

When Lord Lu left, Lao Shisan picked up a few more articles, read them casually and picked up Gao Pang's article. The more he read them, Lao Shisan felt that although this article was immature, he had a positive thought and good intentions. He did not say it directly, and he was very impressed with Lao Shisan's feelings about the emperor's attitude of holding power alone.

Nowadays, too many forces want to have their own influence in the court. In the Yongzheng era, they are not polite to these people. They are guys like Li Fu, who are honest and strong and courageous. As long as they are considered clique by Yongzheng, they will start without hesitation.

The killing of Yongzheng triggered a major change in the power within the court. However, Lao Shisan did not change his original intention. Until now, Lao Shisan still believes that the path Yongzheng chose is not wrong.

After putting down Gao Pang's article, Lao Thirteen continued to focus on official duties. After spring, the Enko battle will end. In March, the siege army equipped with a large number of artillery and firearms will attack Shandong and fight to the death with the rebel Huo Chong.

Gao Pang didn't expect that he would be called to do the test questions alone, and he didn't have any special feelings in the accident. He did a few sets of questions, and Gao Pang got up and said goodbye.

The other people obviously didn't expect Gao Pang to leave so soon. They looked at Gao Pang's eyes as if they were looking at monsters. Lord Lu just looked at whether the question had been finished. Seeing that the paper was answered, he didn't say a word.

After everyone finished the questions, they were all slow to leave. They obviously wanted to get something out of Lord Lu. How could Lord Lu have affected his future because of these goods? He asked them to go back and study hard and prepare for the exam with politeness and coldness.

Taking advantage of the night, I sent the question to the Thirteenth Master's Mansion and saw that there was a young official waiting here on the Thirteenth Master. I looked closely and found that it was Liu Tongxun.

Now Liu Tongxun is the Minister of Justice. Although when Yong Zheng was alive, officials in the capital generally believed that Liu Tongxun would be very useful. Unexpectedly, after Yongzheng's death, Liu Tongxun was very useful so soon.

Lord Lu knew his responsibilities and said nothing nonsense. He said goodbye honestly. Lao Shisan didn't mean to leave him, so he naturally asked him to leave.

After leaving, Lord Lu sighed in his heart. Although the court lost an emperor, there were so many people qualified to be emperors, so there was no shortage of reserves. However, the six divisions of the court lost hundreds of officials, and a large number of first-rank, second-rank, third-rank, and many fourth-rank, fifth-rank, and sixth-rank officials were quickly promoted.

Liu Tongxun was transferred from Yongzheng to the Ministry of Justice at that time, so he survived. But he survived and received such a major promotion. This luck is really great.

However, this time, Enkoli was also very lucky to be a Jinshi. Even if he was a Manchu Jinshi, he would have to be a Shujishi for several years. This time they could become officials directly.

Otherwise, this is Enko.

The Qing court closely monitored Huo Chong. However, Huo Chong acted as if he were a normal enemy, staying in his nest and working on his own affairs. Apart from launching an attack on Liangshan, he did not make any trouble.

That's true. When the Enko exam was underway, the capital was under high alert, as if war was about to begin at any time.

The students who came with Gao Pang were in a worse mood after going through a three-step and under strict inspection. They learned Enko's real purpose and were already depressed. The capital was always very alert and couldn't even go to the famous scenic spots in the capital.

Everyone was trembling in the cold twelfth lunar month, and they couldn't help but eat wine when they were roasting the fire. After eating too much wine, they couldn't help complaining. Now they were in a worse mood.

Gao Pang had completely put down all his thoughts from the day he learned Enko's true face and focused on preparing for the exam according to what he had learned. Since he definitely couldn't pass the exam, it didn't matter.

Banners already account for half of the Jinshi quotas, and this time they are particularly willing to be a Jinshi. This time, there is nothing to say.

No, because of this. Because of the lack of hope, Gao Pang was full of expectations for this exam, not expecting any expectations for the results of the exam, but full of interest in the exam itself.

After the exam is finished, Gao Pang can go to Shandong to join Huo Chong without any nostalgia. Gao Pang even wants to write down all the contents of this exam and ask Huo Chong to help analyze whether there is any error in the logical relationship.

Gao Pang focused on doing the papers without distraction, and did each question very carefully. But he found that the content of the four books he had read carefully when he arrived in the capital was actually effective. There were five questions in total, and three questions were already known. Both questions were remembered when he was studying hard in the capital.

After finishing the questions, I completed other contents. After checking, I made sure that I had made no mistakes and handed in the paper.

When the exam time comes, all the candidates left. After the exam questions were sealed, they handed over them.

Of course, Sun Jiagan knew the purpose of Enke this time, and did not let the part that wrote the name. This made many officials go to Lao Si's place to complain. Lao Si snorted coldly after hearing this, "Do you look down on us Manchu men so much?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, the officials were puzzled. Of course, some people also knew what Lao Sisi meant, but most of them didn't know it.

The fourteenth old man scolded a little bit, "At this level of examination, you can almost pass the examination and become a Jinshi. Can't we Manchu men even make up enough for this number? I heard that many people who know about Enke did not come to the exam. If you still have so much nonsense at this time, do you still have to give us Manchu men a face?"

No one dared to say anything else after being robbed like this. However, everyone's feelings about the Prime Minister of the Cabinet were much worse.

Many people even think that the Fourteenth brother is too pretentious. This pretentious and dead fourth brother Yongzheng is really worthy of being a brother of the same father and mother!

Someone here secretly told Sun Jiagan what happened. Sun Jiagan didn't care at all. As a famous person, even if he killed his head, he would not make any compromises or concessions in matters related to fame and fortune.

Lao Shisi's reaction not only did not make Sun Jiagan feel grateful, but instead made Sun Jiagan feel that Lao Shisi is still the key to the problem.

In the "Imperial Examinations" promulgated by the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that "all handsome and handsome children from the people can be selected, but officials and clerks are not allowed to take the exam." The Ming Dynasty's imperial examinations will be promoted, and minor officials are excluded. At the same time, it also restricts the Jinshi from the royal family from being appointed to officials. Shen Shixing, a great scholar in the Wanli Dynasty, once said: "The imperial examinations of the country are customized, and there is no distinction between lonely and cold and officials."

After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Shunzhi issued a provision that "Manchu does not count Yuan" and "the bannermen do not occupy the cauldron" in order to balance the relationship between Manchu and Han. However, during the specific implementation, there was an unwritten rule: if no one passed the examination for more than three generations, they were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, which is called "cold booking". Moreover, the bannermen can choose their own seats when they participate in the examination, but the Han people have no such rights.

The so-called "no full yuan" and "the bannerman does not rank the tripod armor" are all just a gesture. If the man without ranking in the "big three yuan", he already has a lot of super-national treatment. As for the three tripod armors of "the top scorer, the second scorer, and the Tanhua", the Eight Banners who eat, drink, and have fun are naturally not interested.

Because there is someone who has been awarded the imperial examination within three generations, the proportion of most Jinshi Juren is tilted to the children of the bannermen.

Sun Jiagan felt that if the Fourteenth Old is really smart, it would be better to cancel this rule. That is why he really respects Manchu men.

After the approval of the document, Sun Jiagan reported his work to Lao Shisan. Lao Shisan was really a little uneasy. Sun Jiagan would not be favored, so he must be knowledgeable. For this, Lao Shisan ordered Sun Jiagan through Emperor Hongli that the number of people who passed this time must be four times that of the last time.

In case... the Qing Dynasty is not even qualified enough...

The sealing line was removed here and the name was revealed. After a check, Lao Shisan finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time he had to choose one hundred people, and the number was twice that of the ordinary imperial examination. Therefore, he had to pass four times the number.

Ninety-one Manchus passed the exam and obtained the palace examination qualification. At least there were no problems with too many gaps.
