Song Huizong's favorite son was Prince Jia Zhao Kai, who was good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. Song Huizong felt that this son was too similar to him, and he even considered changing to the crown prince.

A prince who was more than ten years old actually ran to take part in the imperial examination and was selected as the number one scholar.

Probably Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty felt that this was too outrageous. After his son was ranked first in the roll call, he ordered the second place to be changed to the number one scholar and demoted his son to second place.

Don't think that Zhao Kai, the king of Jia, stole the limelight. The number one scholar seemed to be in a miserable state. This guy is an "officer". He can directly become an official with the kindness of his parents. If he is admitted to the Jinshi, he can be initially awarded a higher official position.

It was the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty that a "official" passed the examination.

Moreover, the third place is also a "official".

In other words, the next palace examination will be the darkest moment of the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty.

Among the top three, one is a prince and two are "officials." They all have special backgrounds. Who would believe that they are not cheating?

Song Huizong and his favorite officials broke through the lower limit again and again.

Back to the inn, they drank and celebrated. Some people were happy and some were sad.

Li Hanzhang went to Zhu Ming alone to chat: "Oh, things are unpredictable. I usually write better articles than brother Juncai. This time he passed the exam, but I failed. It's time and fate. I don't plan to take the exam again. My father

I have a family friend who is a general in Huangzhou. Now that there is a war in the northwest, I plan to join Shishu, and maybe I can get some military glory."

"The sword has no eyes, but brother Zhen, be careful." Zhu Ming reminded.

"Haha, if you die, you will be considered unlucky." Li Hanzhang said with a smile.

This guy really likes the military. It would be good to join the army. Anyway, he can take the exam again in the future. Even if he becomes a military commander, he can take the imperial examination and transfer to the civil service.

This time, three people from Yangzhou passed the imperial examination. Ju Ming was an accident, and Bai Chongyan was also brought up by Zhu Ming. The only one who really won the imperial examination based on his own ability was Min Zishun, which is very consistent with the basic situation of Yangzhou - more than 20 years ago.
