During the seven years when Emperor Yingzong was imprisoned, Daizong not only locked the Nangong gate and filled it with lead, but even sent the Jinyiwei to closely monitor it, so that even the food could only be handed in through small holes.

Sometimes, insufficient food and clothing caused the Emperor's original wife, Queen Qian, to make some female lovers and ask someone to take them out for sale to make up for the family. In order to avoid contacting the Emperor who was under house arrest, Emperor Jingtai even cut down all the trees near the Nangong, making it impossible for people to hide.

In this way, the Supreme Emperor spent seven years under house arrest in a panic.

In the face of imperial power, there is no part of family affection. Emperor Chongzhen suddenly proposed to be in Zhu Cilang for the future, and he wanted to move to Nangong.

Wang Chengen couldn't help but be anxious: "The emperor thought twice, how could you move to the coldest place in Nangong? When many brothers of Emperor Daizong of Yingzong fought against each other, I thought this place was ominous."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "There are no such things to pay attention to. This child is filial. I still understand this. Well, you go to Zhongcui Palace tomorrow and tell the prince to come to see me."

Zhu Cilang became a little proud. With his own intervention, the preparation speed of military pay, food and supplies was faster than expected.

Although most of the officials have been cleared out, the government system can still barely operate. Next, it should be vigorously to start the imperial examination to select talents, because there are too many officials removed by the factory guards.

The imperial examination, which is once every three years, is directly changed to half a year. This means that the court today lacks a large number of talents, which can be said to be eager to seek talents.

As we all know, the imperial examination system started from Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian until the 31st year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty and 1905. It lasted for more than 1,300 years, and it was also the longest-lasting method of selecting talents in the world.

But when it comes to the imperial examination system, it was not considered the most complete until the Ming Dynasty. Take the number of people as an example. For example, there were imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty, but there were many subjects, including poems, songs and essays. When the Song Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty paid attention to poetry and practical abilities. Then there was a problem with these two dynasties, that is, the admission quota was very small.

The Ming Dynasty treated scholars preferentially, and scholars received great preferential treatment. This was the rule set by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was not changed until recently under Zhu Cixuan's reform.

The admission rate of the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty was quite tragic. According to statistics, at most less than 10% of the candidates in the Ming Dynasty could become Jinshi.

In ancient times, taking the college entrance examination was not the same as now. It only took one exam a year, and it was a lifetime test. In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to become a Jinshi, you must pass five levels and kill six generals, take many, many times, and advance step by step. What are the county exams, the government exams, the township exams, the palace exams, etc.

When the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, the number of children taking exams in a year was 400,000, and the most basic exams could only become scholars at most 30,000. Among these 30,000, a large number of them had to be eliminated. Only those with first-class and second-class scores could participate in the next round.

The imperial examination is held in various provinces and prefectures only once every three years. This is the provincial examination. If you can get the first place in the exam, just like Fan Jin passed the exam. If you pass the exam, you will be qualified to be an official, but that is only qualified. Whether you can become an official depends on your luck.

The number of Juren who wants to be an official is very small, with an admission rate of only about 3%, which means there are only more than 1,000 people in the country. Juren also has to take the exam held in the capital every three years, and then eliminate a large number of them before they can become tribute students.

Now the imperial court has to hold the examination every six months, and there is no time to prepare for the examiner. Therefore, it is allowed to perform freely. All prefectures and counties can freely set questions and be admitted freely.

The disadvantages of doing this are also obvious. Decentralizing the imperial examination authority to the local government is extremely likely to breed corruption. Officials from prefectures, prefectures, counties and counties will accept bribes on a large scale, thereby committing private fraud.

After all, local governments have the final say in terms of the provincial examination. Then things like cheating on questions are inevitable.

At this moment, the effectiveness of the factory and the Jinyiwei appeared. There were so many people who were idle at the East and West Factory and the Jinyiwei, all of whom were scattered to all parts of the country. They were responsible for the examination and verification of the prefectures and counties, and strictly investigated whether there was any illegal fraud in the local area.

Emperor Chongzhen's imperial edict had been issued long ago, and the imperial examination was once every six months, which shocked the scholars in the world. Those scholars felt that their opportunity had finally come.

From the exam once every three years, once you fail the exam, you have to re-title the exam for three years. It is impossible for ordinary families to provide a mine unless there is a mine at home.

Now I only need to take the exam once every six months. If I fail this time, I will have a chance in half a year. If I fail again, I will still have a chance in half a year.

The imperial court now has a large number of vacancies, which is the time when talents are urgently needed.

Importantly, in addition to the eight-legged essay, this imperial examination focused more on Yangming studies. In addition, there were current affairs questions and answers to officials.

What is impressed is that the test papers of these candidates are comparable to printed items. Zhu Cixuan once read the imperial examination papers, which can be said to be amazing.

Let’s not talk about how the content of the test paper is written for the time being. The calligraphy fonts on the test paper are even more neat than those printed. Each horizontal, vertical, horizontal, horizontal, and horizontal, and horizontal are extremely neat.

The paper is also extremely neat. Looking at such a test paper is simply a pleasure.

Of course, Zhu Cixuan has no blessing to enjoy these things. His mission is to lead the army to fight and aid North Korea.

The Shenwei Army, the Eastern Palace Guards and 80,000 people went to Korea to fight with the Qing Dynasty. This time, Zhu Cixuan wanted to lead a large army to have a head-on battle with the Qing Dynasty.

When the time comes, you will know who will win.

Zhu Cilang, who returned to Zhongcui Palace, finally breathed a sigh of relief. In seven days, the army could set off.

At this moment, Wang Chengen came.

Wang Chengen came to Xuansong, but after meeting, he felt a little reluctant to speak and stopped: "Your Highness, Long live the Emperor Xuansong of Qianqing Palace."

Zhu Cilang bowed: "Eunuch Wang, my father is so happy in the near future."

Although he was in the palace, Zhu Cilang did not have many opportunities to meet Emperor Chongzhen. First, both sides were busy, one worked hard for the court affairs, and the other went on a day and night to go to war.

Zhu Cilang was not surprised when he summoned himself this time. He thought that his father was just a routine message.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chengen wanted to speak and stopped halfway. This made Zhu Cilang very surprised and couldn't help asking: "Eunuch Wang, is there anything wrong with my father?"

Wang Chengen glanced at him and finally sighed: "Your Highness has waited to see Master Long Live, and you will know."

Wang Chengen was so stubborn, and Zhu Ciyang hated the most was others' stubbornness. Zhu Ciyang was an impatient person, so he said angrily: "Eunuch Wang, your mother-in-law, is it so boring, what's the matter?"
