Who is the luckiest champion in the imperial examination in history?

Since ancient times, court officials have been recruited into the palace according to their moral character or popular support rate, but this system was soon seized by aristocratic families and recommended to each other. There are not many people who can do practical things in the court soon, but many of them are sycophants. Until the implementation of the imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty, although it was a good system, under the fierce resistance of aristocratic families, the Sui Dynasty finally perished.

The imperial examination is divided into three parts: boy examination, township examination, general examination and palace examination. After layers of selection, it has sent a large number of talents to the country. At that time, the difficulty of being selected was also conceivable. Almost entering the exam was equivalent to being admitted to the better 985 university, and entering the palace exam was equivalent to entering the top ten universities in the country, ranking first in the country. It is conceivable that the championship is so rare. No wonder some people say that it is a blessing for ancestors to be admitted to the No.1 scholar. This difficulty is really amazing, but there are some lucky people in history.

There are many lucky people like Zhang Jian and Liu Chunlin, who were born in the late Qing Dynasty. The country was already in turmoil. Coupled with his solid cultural background, one was elected to palace examination, because he did have a good cultural background, while the other was born at an excellent time, and both of them became the final champion. Although it has no great value, it is obtained through the scouring of layers of sand and stones. But the luckiest thing is the following one.

In the 23rd year of Zhazi, Hu Changling, who was determined to win, was elected to palace examination. Originally, he was aiming for the first place, but there were too many cruel people and he could only win the title of tenth. At that time, Ganlong was 70 years old and was very narcissistic in his later years. He said that compared with other 70-year-old emperors, he is perfect and literary, and once he sits on the emperor, who doesn't want to live a long life? Besides, he is 70 years old. He didn't see Hu Changling's name. When he first came to Xi, he took the top spot with a stroke of his pen. Do you think Hu Changling is the luckiest?
