Zhu Di was also a little surprised by the results of the examination.

He knew that Qin Feng's qualifications of students won would not be weak under the strict conditions, but he never expected that all seven students could rank among the top.

After Xie Jin set the ranking, Zhu Di also transferred the seven-person test papers.

Whether it is the font, the page, or the article itself, it is impeccable and can be considered the best.

Since this was the case, Zhu Di did not deliberately suppress it and made the final result with the ranking set by Xie Jin when he was named.

When talents in urgent need of national governance, how can we still control our background?

If you really care about your background, most of the people you decided to be from Jiangxi and are Xie Jin's fellow townsmen.

This is much more suspicious than the same science as the same subject.

After that, it will be the palace examination.

Generally speaking, the rankings of palace examinations are basically not too big when they are in the examination.

The results of the imperial examination were made in time and Zhu Di finally decided, and there would be no big changes in the palace examination.

Yang Xiang, Song Zihuan, and Wang Xun are the top three in the second grade, Qin Zhengxue is the fourth, and Zhou Chen is the fifth.

As for Zeng Qi, Zhou Shu, and Zhou Mengjian, the three players were finally determined by Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di enclosed Zeng Qi's top scorer, he was about to pick up his pen and asked, "Zhou Shu and Zhou Mengjian are brothers, are they?"

These scholars will be of great use in the future, and they must be investigated clearly in all aspects.

Since he was a fellow villager and also ranked among the top, Xie Jin asked a little, but now Zhu Di asked about it, it happened to be useful.

"Yes, Zhou Shu was adopted by his uncle, how old should Zhou Mengjian be older."

Zhu Di smiled slightly and praised: "The family lintel is comparable to the Er Su."

Although it is a simple compliment, it will become different in an instant if it can be said from the emperor.

Afterwards, Zhu Di picked up his pen and drew Zhou Shu as the second best, and Zhou Mengjian became Tanhua.

After making the decision, he handed the list to Jie Jin and said, "Let's just settle it like this. You can't be better than your brother. Zhou Mengjian can only be a Tanhualang."

Not to mention it is reasonable, even if it is unreasonable, Xie Jin, the examiner, will not hinder the final result.

"Liu Ziqin is the Jie Yuan of your Jiangxi provincial examination. I heard that he is a talented man, and the rankings in the imperial examination and palace examination are not ideal, right?"

Liu Ziqin ranked 12th in the second grade, and it is unknown whether Xie Jin's operation was done. Anyway, it is definitely impossible to find out the problem.

Xie Jin was calm about Zhu Di's problem and replied: "Yes, Liu Ziqin's talent is not inferior to Zeng Qi, but he is a little unruly. His writing is less simple than Zeng Qi, and he needs more training."

Liu Ziqin was also from Jiangxi. Even though he was ranked first, he still did not play much role in the examinations full of Jiangxi scholars.

Therefore, there is no need for Zhu Di to deliberately promote Liu Ziqin.

"I believe in your vision. Let me give you the results. My new scholar may be anxious."

After receiving Zhu Di's order, Xie Jin then ordered the Ministry of Rites to release the results.

The results of the palace examination were not very different from those in the examination, but the scholars were still extremely excited.

Decades of hard study have paid off. Although it was a result that had been expected, this joy was still difficult to control.

After that, before the Ministry of Personnel dispatched, I still had some time to have fun.

This period of time may be the most free days in their lives, so they must be well grasped.

Qin Feng did not restrict his disciples, and allowed them to go out to make friends freely.

In fact, these scholars seem to be having fun, but in fact they are also using this to socialize and form their own circles in the officialdom in the future.

With interest groups, it is very likely that they can save lives in the future.

His disciples undoubtedly found a great backer to him, but if they formed a group of interests with their disciples, they could help him in turn.

Afterwards, the official arranged a Lu Ming Banquet, which was regarded as a banquet for the emperor.

At the Lu Ming Banquet, Zeng Qi was pointed out by Zhu Di and asked to write a few seven-character poems with the theme of plum blossoms.

In order to adjust the atmosphere, other scholars present are allowed to participate.

The scholars present wrote poems first, and Zeng Qi wrote another poem based on the meaning of his poems.

No restrictions are required and can be freely exerted.

This is due to inspiration and is easier to do.

With the increase in limits, the difficulty will immediately increase a lot.

After making a request, Zhu Dixu added in order to avoid tension, and said, "This is purely for entertainment and voluntary participation. If Zeng Zhuangsheng cannot match, he can be replaced by someone else."

Even for entertainment, it is an excellent opportunity to perform.

If you can leave a good impression on the emperor, then the arrangements for official positions may be much better in the next step, and they will play an important role in their career in this life.

Zhu Di made a statement, and someone soon wrote the first song.

It is the first early spring plum blossom, which is in a normal manner and cannot be said to be very outstanding.

Zeng Qi did not pause at all, and immediately followed.

Not only that, it is far superior to that scholar in any aspect.

This is an opportunity to perform, but if the emperor has a bad impression, it will only have a negative impact on his own development.

Because the first scholar did not have a good start, the scholars did not have the courage to stand out for a long time.

It is true that these scholars are scholars, but the books they read on weekdays are limited to Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, unless they have finished reading this subject, they still have a surplus.

Otherwise, they would have no time to spend time learning to write poetry.

What's more, writing poetry is also affected by the environment and mood. In this atmosphere, unless you have the ability to become poetry in seven steps, it is impossible to write it.

Just as Zhu Di thought that just one song would be gone, he planned to let Zeng Qi play freely, Liu Ziqin stood up.

"I'll do it!"

He was somewhat dissatisfied with Zeng Qi and Liu Ziqin.

He did not accept Xie Jin's leaked questions at the beginning, but on the one hand he had his own pride, and on the other hand he was confident that he could win the top scorer with his own abilities.

Now the top scorer missed him. He suspected that Zeng Qi won the top scorer who belonged to him because Xie Jin leaked the question, but he would rather defeat Zeng Qi openly with his own ability than expose them without any evidence without any evidence.

"I thought my new cousin didn't have the courage to take this challenge."

Liu Ziqin bowed to Zhu Di, and didn't even introduce himself, so he spoke immediately.

It is obvious that he only wants to defeat Zeng Qi and does not intend to show off in front of Zhu Di.

Afterwards, the two of them took different scenes, different seasons, and different attitudes and varieties of plum blossoms, and they took different feelings to the plum blossoms. They handed them one by one and started the confrontation.

Just these poems, both of them can achieve smoothness, standardized rhythm, exquisite conception, and timeless poetry, but Liu Ziqin's agility is obviously more than Zeng Shi.

At the beginning, I was able to be comparable, and the longer I fell behind Zeng Qi, the longer I went.

Until more than 80 songs, Liu Ziqin finally accepted the loss after pausing for a stick of incense.

If you dare to compete, you have to lose.

Liu Ziqin bowed his hand and first said to Zhu Di: "I am not talented but have no knowledge."

Later, he said to Zeng Qi: "Brother Zeng is well-informed and well-known, and has outstanding knowledge. He admits defeat. Brother Zeng is worthy of his title, and I admire him."

Liu Ziqin withdrew, Zhu Di was still unsatisfied and asked, "Does Zeng Zhuangsheng still have any?"

Zeng Qi had just found his state, but he was still not satisfied with Zhu Di.

"Yes, there are a few more."

After hearing Zeng Qi's words, Zhu Di showed joy, waved his hand and said, "Continue."

The scholars at the Lu Ming Banquet were still accompanying officials. I felt refreshed when I listened to this poem. The only sorrow I felt was the clerks responsible for recording.

Every time Zeng Qi and Liu Ziqin wrote a poem, they had to record it accurately and must not make any mistakes in the words.

After all, I will show it to the emperor soon. If I write a typo, it will cause problems.

Anyway, they didn't have time to feel the poem, and they just felt that their wrist was about to break.

Unfortunately, they didn't worry about their emotions at all. As Zeng Qi spoke, they had to continue writing.

About half an hour later, Zeng Qi released more than twenty more songs in one breath.

In other words, Zeng Qi made more than 100 seven-character poems about plum blossoms in one breath, which was more than 20 more than Liu Ziqin.

From any perspective, this is far better than Liu Ziqin.

Zhu Dizhi was talented and wanted to adjust the atmosphere. He didn't expect to get such a big gain.

It is not worth mentioning that Zeng Shi had such achievements as Qin Feng's contribution, but at least it can be said that Qin Feng has a good vision of knowing people.

Zhu Di raised his hand and asked for the manuscript paper from the clerk.

Nearly 200 poems written by Zeng Qi and Liu Ziqin are here.

All these two hundred poems describe the beauty of plum blossoms, expressing the charm of plum blossoms, vivid images, profound meanings, and erupting literary talent, just like plum blossoms blooming in the snow.
