    During Cao Ling's memorial, Zhu Youzheng was in a private room of a restaurant with Queen Zhang Yan, watching the release of the imperial examination in the spring of the second year of Tianqi!

    The so-called Spring Examination refers to the examination that takes place every three years. Because the exam is held in the spring, it is also called the "Spring Examination" or the "Spring Examination". Usually the Spring Examination is held on the 9th, 12th, and 10th of February in the lunar calendar.  There are three exams in five days, and each exam takes three days. That is to say, the candidates taking Chunwei almost have to take the exam for nine consecutive days to complete this exam that affects their life direction.

    Corresponding to the Spring Examination is the Autumn Examination, which is commonly known as the Provincial Examination. This examination is the first level compared to the Hui Examination and is also held every three years.  Because the exam is set in autumn, this kind of exam is called "Autumn Exam" or "Autumn Examination". The exam time is set on the 9th, 12th, and 15th of August in the lunar calendar. It can be seen from the exam time that  The autumn palace is the same as the spring palace. It is also divided into three games, each lasting three days.

    In fact, it is easy to say spring and autumn, but the actual exam is a kind of torture for the candidates, because during the three days of the exam, the candidates are not allowed to leave the exam room, and the exam, eating, drinking, and defecation are all in a room that is only enough to turn around.  Conducted in a narrow examination room!

    And the examination booths can be said to be a very inhumane thing. The rows of examination booths in the Gongyuan seem neat, but when you walk inside, you feel extremely suffocating!

    Each examination booth is a small room three feet wide, four feet deep, and six feet high.  During the three days of the exam, the candidates took exams during the day, slept at night, and ate, drank and defecated all in this small space.

    In order to allow candidates to take exams and rest at the same time, the walls on both sides of the examination booth are inlaid with upper and lower brick supports.  During the day, a wooden board is placed on the upper brick support to become a desk; a wooden board is placed on the lower brick support to serve as a chair, and candidates complete their answer papers on such a table and chair.

    At night, the wooden boards supported by the bricks are placed below to form a simple hard bed. The candidates sleep on such a bed. Of course, quilts and mattresses are not available.  To be warm, you can only wear thicker clothes as much as possible!

    Of course, candidates can also light a brazier in the examination booth to keep warm, because the examination booth has no doors or windows, and there is no fear of smoke poisoning. As long as fire prevention is done well, there will be no problem!

    In such a harsh environment, taking an exam that determines the fate of life is a kind of mental and physical torture for anyone. Therefore, it is not uncommon for people to die or go crazy during the exam!

    In order to protect the physical and mental health of the candidates, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of Tianqi, who has always been unconventional, decisively moved the time of spring from the cold February to the warm spring of April!

    At the same time, the examination booth of the Gongyuan in Beijing was renovated. It not only expanded the area of ??the examination booth, but also added beds, tables, chairs, and special bathrooms. The biggest change was that Zhu Youxiao ordered people to install doors and windows in the examination booth!

    Of course, the doors and windows used for exams and living in the exam booth are all made of transparent glass. In order to prevent candidates from cheating in a relatively hidden environment, a glass mirror is also installed on the back wall of the exam booth!

    In this way, the invigilator can not only see the candidate¡¯s situation through the glass window from the front, but also observe the candidate¡¯s behavior through the glass mirror behind the candidate!

    Liu Yishen, the examiner of Tianqi's second-year examination, also gave the window and mirror another meaning, saying: as clear as water, as bright as a mirror!  Understand the true heart and see the true nature!

    Although some old diehards made sharp criticisms of Zhu Youxiao's actions, and even said that such actions encouraged the candidates' bad habits of coveting comfort, Zhu Youxiao just scoffed at this, ignored them at all, and completely regarded them as his own fault.  I don¡¯t want to see other people¡¯s good deeds!

    Of course, the majority of fresh graduates resolutely welcome such changes, so much so that after the Spring Festival was postponed in the second year of Tianqi and the plan to renovate the examination shed was announced, the candidates who came to take part in the examination simply paid homage to the emperor Zhu Youxiao.  Worship to the extreme!

    After three exams in nine days on April 9th, 12th, and 15th, the spring of the second year of Tianqi came to an end. After more than ten days of marking, the results were officially released on April 28th of the second year of Tianqi!

    The little emperor Zhu Youxiao, who has never been restless, ran out with his queen Zhang Yan to watch the fun. In addition to Lao Wang An and Qiao Wangjin, he was accompanied by the noble concubine Ning Xi!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:??????????? There are countless deviant things that Zhu Youxiao has done, like this kind of thing like taking a married wife and a married woman out to hang out together, even if someone sees it, no one will try to impeach him!

    So relatively speaking, the emperor Zhu Youxiao did a lot more good things than the Zhengde Emperor, who was famous for his absurdity. Anyway, the courtiers had high expectations for him.??It's already so low that just stay in the capital and don't run around!

    For convenience, both Zhang Yan and Ning Xi disguised themselves as men, and accompanied Zhu Youxiao on the left and right. Zhang Yan was worthy of being a queen with both beauty and virtuous reputation. At this moment, she was dressed in plain white men's clothes, but she showed  Wan Zangqing was not only gentle and considerate towards Zhu Youxiao, but also took great care of Ning Xi, a noble concubine who had never married before!

    And Ning Xi, a little girl with a wild temper and always bold and reckless behavior, has now become Zhang Yan's crush. Her big black eyes are always watching Zhang Yan's every move, and she will imitate Zhang Yan from time to time.  The action made Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan laugh secretly!

    Just when Zhu Youxiao was enjoying this wonderful time of hugging each other, Li Jinzhong ran over in a hurry. Zhu Youxiao knew that the reason why Li Jinzhong was in such a hurry must be something urgent, so he asked him to see him immediately.  !

    Li Jinzhong entered the box and immediately knelt down on the ground and worshiped: "My slave, I bow to the master, the queen, and the noble concubine!"

    Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "Where do you come from so much nonsense? What did you say?"

    Li Jinzhong took out a memorial from his arms, raised it high above his head, and said with excitement: "My slave congratulates the master, congratulates the master, General Cao Ling of the Expeditionary Army has reported that the expeditionary force has captured Edo City of the Japanese country, and  The Tokugawa father and son were captured alive, and now the Tokugawa father and son are being escorted to the capital!"

    When Zhu Youxiao heard the news, although he was not surprised, he was also quite happy. He immediately took Cao Ling's memorial and started reading it. Soon Zhu Youxiao read Cao Ling's memorial!

    After closing the memorial, Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table. The atmosphere in the private room became a little heavy for a while!

    The reason why Zhu Youxiao was so solemn was because he was considering whether if he expanded the Imperial Army on a large scale, he would be in trouble, and in the end he shot himself in the foot!

    Ning Xi looked at Zhu Youxiao curiously, and quietly wiped away the memorial with her little hand. As a result, before Ning Xi touched the memorial, she saw Zhang Yan shaking her head with a smile. Ning Xi immediately remembered the admonition that the harem should not be involved in politics, and was frightened.  He immediately retracted his hand and stuck out his tongue playfully!

    Zhu Youxiao opened his eyes at this time, handed the memorial to Zhang Yan and said with a smile: "It's just a memorial, it's no big deal to take a look!"

    Zhang Yan smiled and said: "After all, this is a major matter in the court, and I don't dare to go beyond the rules!"

    Ning Xi couldn't hold back her curiosity at this moment, jumped up and walked around Zhu Youxiao, put her arm around Zhang Yan's shoulders and said, "He said it's okay to take a look, sister Yan just take a look!"

    Zhang Yan pursed her lips and smiled more cheerfully and said, "You girl, you can just go and see it if you want. Why bother with me?"

    Ning Xi wrinkled her little nose and smiled flatteringly: "Who made Sister Yan the Empress of the Ming Dynasty in the world of mother-in-law? Even if I don't understand the rules, I don't dare to go beyond my sister. Good sister, just take a look!"

    Zhang Yan scratched Ning Xi's little nose and smiled a little fondly: "You are the only one who talks sweetly, but you blame everything on me!"

    Although she said so, Zhang Yan stopped being pretentious and took the memorial and watched it with Ning Xi. When the two girls saw that Cao Ling had submitted the memorial, Edo City was burned down in the First World War, and 40,000 to 50,000 Japanese people were killed in the whole city.  , when the main force of the Tokugawa shogunate was wiped out in World War II, 16,000 were beheaded, and the Kyoto was built with those corpses, my face couldn't help but turn a little pale!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
