During this period, the re-examination of the scientific examination presided over by the Ministry of Rites also came to an end. Since this was the first time that the Ministry of Rites took charge of the scientific examination, everyone from top to bottom of the Ministry of Rites attached great importance to it. Sheyou, the Minister of Rites, personally served as the official director of the scientific examination.

He was the chief assessor of the examination, and invited the emperor to appoint Su Geng, the imperial censor, who had recently been established by the emperor, to serve as the accompanying supervisor to strictly control fraud in the examination room.

But Zhao Hongrun was a little surprised by the final announcement of the scholars on the list.

He originally thought that the scholar Wen Qi who reminded him about Ji Zhu's fraud in the examination room would be able to go to high school. After all, Zhao Hongrun was deeply impressed by this man's articles and the speed of writing at that time.

But what I didn't expect was that the Wenqi scholar failed the list in the end, and his name was not on the list at all.

In addition, the number one scholar in this year's palace examination was actually won by a 19-year-old scholar named Kou Zheng from a poor family in Shangdang County, while the second place went to a 20-year-old scholar named Luo Yao, also from a poor family.

Zhongshu Ling He Xiangxu's eighteen-year-old grandson, He Xinxian, who has always been rumored to be as talented as Qilin'er Zhao Hongzhao in Beijing, was a frequent visitor to the Yafeng Poetry Club, but he could only place third in this scientific examination.

, which really surprised many people.

Whether it was the Prince of the East Palace, King Yong or King Xiang, they began to secretly win over these young scholars and select the best among them to enrich their own think tank team.

Even the kings of Yan and Qing, who were far inferior to the first three, secretly recruited aides.

After all, for the other princes, this year may be their last chance to seize the East Palace. Once the eldest emperor Sun Yonglu reaches eight years old next year, enters the palace school, and gradually wins the emperor's love and respect, they will win the throne.

The chances become slimmer and slimmer.
