Chapter 2148: Number One Scholar and Granted Marriage

As for supplies being rotated between different places, there might be cases of being withheld. Yao Youqian also thought of a solution. Everywhere he went, the local government stepped in to check the supplies. If the quantity checked was different from what the court had allocated, he would immediately Report.

He also proposed to pay veterans who have lost their limbs to follow the supplies. They have experienced the suffering of supplies being withheld. If they find that supplies have been withheld somewhere, they will definitely make a fuss.

In fact, there are many loopholes in Yao Youqian's suggestion. He took a big risk when he wrote it. But judging from the ranking, he made the right bet. Emperor Jingyuan recognized it and gave him the second place in the exam.

Lu Bai was very happy, patting him on the shoulder and said: "You are rich, I didn't expect you to be a promising kid. You passed the exam and came second, but you gave us the face of Yujiang County Magistrate. Hurry up, continue reading, and wait for the palace exam. If we get the top score in the exam, we can return to our hometown in glory!"

Yao Youqian rolled his eyes at him and said, "How you do on the exam has nothing to do with your reading."

It depends on the emperors wishes and what kind of talents the court needs.

L Bais knowledge is not bad, and his articles are excellent and beautiful, but why didnt he pass the examination? To put it bluntly, it is impractical, and what the court now needs are talents who understand practical matters, can handle affairs, and can endure hardships, not scholars who can write articles.

Hua Qianshan agreed very much, nodded and said: "Brother Qian is right, I just eat, drink and have too much fun. If I could know more about the war in the northwest and wartime farming, I wouldn't be in the bottom of the exam. two."

It's really embarrassing. For the rest of his life, whenever his colleagues ask about the scientific examination, he will be laughed at.

Yao Youqian said: "The reason you got second to last in the exam is not because you don't know enough, it's because you didn't write the article well enough."

Jinkes talent selection does pay the most attention to pragmatism, but literary talent should not be too bad. Hua Qianshan suffered from poor literary talent, so he got second to last in the exam.

Hua Qianshan was anxious: "What should I do? Who can help me?"

Yao Youqian pointed to Lu Bai: "Look for him. His articles are as beautiful as flowers. If you learn from them, you will definitely make progress before the imperial examination."

Gu Jinan nodded: "Brother Qian is right, Lu Bai's literary talent is indeed worthy of a good name. Let's ask him for advice."

After hearing this, Hua Qianshan immediately went to harass Lu Bai.

Lu Bai shouted: "If I don't teach, I'm just a poor scholar. How can I teach a tribute!"

He has no time, he still has to go out and tell stories.

But Lu Bai finally agreed, taught Hua Qianshan for a few days, and wrote dozens of articles together. Hua Qianshan's literary talent became more beautiful than before.

During the ten days when they studied hard behind closed doors, more than a dozen accidents occurred in the capital, and tribute officials were unable to participate in the palace examination.

The tributes who had the accident regretted it and cried bitterly. Many tributes went to Jingzhao Mansion to sue, asking Jingzhao Mansion to find the person who harmed them, but they were all beaten back by Jingzhao Yin.

Jing Zhaoyin said that no one harmed them, it was all an accident, and asked them to leave quickly.

Jing Zhaoyin did this because he received a secret order from Emperor Jing Yuan... Emperor Jing Yuan wanted practical talents who could withstand a blow, not idiots who got carried away just after being admitted as tributes and were so harmed that they couldn't even participate in the palace examination!

After ten noisy days, it was February 12, the day of the palace examination.

Five hundred tributes had to get up in the middle of the night. They arrived at the gate of the imperial city at Yinshi and began to undergo inspection... They entered the palace to participate in the palace examination. The inspection was particularly strict. They were stripped and inspected three times. It was not until halfway through Maoshi that the inspection was completed.

Then he learned the etiquette of admonishment from the palace eunuch. At the end of the day, when he was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, the **** shouted in a sharp voice: "The adults have gone to court. All tributes, please follow the servants." Come into the palace."

They were not given any food or water, and no time was given for them to pay their respects. Many tributes felt uncomfortable because of urgent need to urinate and hunger.

The eunuch's eyes were sharp and he saw that many of the tributes were anxious, but he just smiled and did not tell them the solution... His Majesty said that the court only wants talents, not fools. If they are really choked by his own urine If it's dead, then go die, there's no point keeping it anyway. The chief **** who led the way also said: "Dear tribute ministers, disobedience in front of the palace is a death penalty."

So you'd better hold it in.

However

boom!

When a tribute heard this, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground. He couldn't hold it in anymore and peed his pants on the spot.

When the **** saw this, his face darkened, and he directly ordered the palace sergeant: "Drag him down."

After hearing this, the soldiers immediately stepped forward, grabbed the tribute soldier, and dragged him away.

The tribute man came to his senses after being dragged out a few meters and shouted: "Can't..."

He can't leave, he still has to take the imperial examination!

But he only shouted two words before the sergeant covered his mouth. He could no longer speak and could only cry.

A sergeant scolded: "Shut up, who told you not to be smarter and solve the problem earlier? You won't know until you are about to enter the palace that you are hungry and need to pee."

What a bunch of idiots. Where have all the books gone?

This tribute officer was also unjustly accused. He entered the palace for the first time. How could he know that he had been tested in the capital palace and could be dismissed for such a trivial matter?

A kind-hearted sergeant said: "You have not violated the criminal law, and your merit is still there. You can take the exam again after taking the exam. But if you shout randomly and alert the emperor, and your merit is gone, then life will be worse than death."

After hearing this, the tributes had no choice but to accept their fate and be dragged out of the imperial city.

After this incident, the other tributes became more cautious. Even if they couldn't hold it in, they held it in and now they were in the main hall.

Kneel down!

The tributes immediately knelt down and saluted Emperor Jingyuan.

Emperor Jingyuan didn't talk nonsense to them. He only said a few words. After the table was set, he asked the tributes to sit down on their knees to take the exam.

Now the question in the current Science and Technology Academy Examination is really frightening. It is actually: How can kings, commanders, generals, people, and merchants coexist? Are soldiers loyal to the emperor and loyal generals? If you and your generals are at odds, how should the soldiers deal with it?

The test questions were asked by Emperor Jing Yuan on the spot. As soon as these words came out, all the ministers present were shocked... They knew that Emperor Jing Yuan was crazy, but they didn't expect that he would be so crazy.

What is this going to do? Are you going to challenge Xu You head-on and challenge those hundreds of thousands of troops? !

Once word gets out about the palace examination question, what will the soldiers think? Do you really think about it? Do you want to have a fight with Xu You?

Fang Shangshu wiped his hands with cold sweat. He really shouldn't let Dianqing take the test in this subject. No matter how he answers the test questions, he will offend the other party.

When Ouyang Zhang heard this question, he shook his head... Your Majesty was still too impatient. Why didn't you discuss it with them before setting the question?

Elder Ying Ge was there, so he didn't panic at all. Instead, he wished that Emperor Jing Yuan and Xu You had to break up with each other quickly. Their aristocratic family likes to take advantage of others... but the Rong thieves are a big disaster. He is afraid that the Chu will be unstable and the Rong thieves will invade. The wealthy family lost the country they had finally regained.

After Emperor Jingyuan finished asking the test questions, he looked at everyone present with increasingly cold eyes. Hehe, they are a group of hypocritical people who only want to get benefits and do not want to offend anyone. Today he wants them to make a choice, whether to choose to be loyal to the emperor or to choose to do something. A wallflower? !

And as long as you don't choose to be loyal to the emperor, don't even think about passing the exam. Anyway, he has the final say on the ranking in the imperial examination.

Ouyang Zhang looked at Emperor Jingyuan's face and felt sad. The important matter of selecting talents for the country, the imperial examination, was reduced to a child's play of making choices according to the king's preferences. It was really sad.
