Chapter 221
After taking off the cumbersome clothes and putting on ordinary clothes again, Bai Susu felt a lot more relaxed.

She stood on the spot and moved around, shaking her head unconsciously, "Although the hair crown is off, why do I always feel that something is still pressing on my head?"

"This is the first time I wear such a heavy thing." Zhou Ximing pulled Bai Susu into his arms, gently rubbed her head, and patiently explained, "When I first wore such a heavy hair crown, ,is also like this."

"Then when did you start wearing it?" Bai Susu asked curiously.

Zhou Ximing paused for a while, thought for a while, and then replied: "It should be when he was established as the prince."

"Aren't you only seven or eight years old at that time?" Bai Susu frowned, "They're not afraid to hold you down."

Hearing Bai Susu's remarks, Zhou Ximing couldn't help laughing, "It's just wearing a heavier hair crown, why is it related to height."

"Over there, people of the older generation say that when they were young, they would be weighed down by wearing or carrying heavy things." Bai Susu answered Zhou Ximing seriously, "But I don't believe it now."

"Why?"

"Because you wear such a heavy hair crown all day, you still grow very tall." Bai Susu also raised her hand to pat Zhou Ximing's head, and said with a smile.

Before Zhou Ximing could say anything, an eunuch hurried over, and when he saw the scene inside, he immediately lowered his head, and said respectfully and cautiously: "Your Majesty, Empress, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, please see me."

Zhou Ximing and Bai Susu looked at each other with some doubts.It's only been a short time since he came to court, why did Tang Jianshan enter the palace again?
"Let him come in." Zhou Ximing pulled Bai Susu up, arranged their clothes, and waited for Tang Jianshan to come.

"Your Majesty, Empress." Tang Jianshan bowed, and said straight to the point: "There is still one month before Chunwei, does the Emperor have officials who will finalize the invigilation?"

Originally, Chunwei's invigilators had to make an agreement two months ago to start discussing, drafting and printing the questions.But because too many things happened during these times, it was delayed.

So Tang Jianshan went back and changed his clothes, and hurried back to discuss this matter with the emperor.

Chun Wei is a big event, there are only a few people who can be trusted and used by the court, and Tang Jianshan can't find a complete list.

"The Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of the Ministry of History will assist you. As for the exam questions, I will name them myself this year." Zhou Ximing had already made a decision on these matters.

Originally, the Minister of the Household Department should have been ordered to go with him, but now the Minister of the Household Department is too difficult to take on the important task, so he finally gave up.

Hearing that Zhou Ximing came with the exam questions, Tang Jianshan also breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't know when the emperor will be able to write the exam questions, so I can find someone to print them."

"After three days, you come to pick it up."

"Yes." Tang Jianshan put aside a major matter in his heart, turned around and hurried back to eat.

"What questions do you want to ask this year?" Bai Susu felt that Zhou Ximing must have thought of some new questions to test these students.

"I've already thought about the first and second questions." Zhou Ximing looked at Bai Susu, "The first question is to ask how to be an official in the court and how to be a local official. The second question is to ask, if The national treasury is empty, how should the treasury be enriched."

These are the two most important questions in the court, and the ministers in the court have not yet reached a conclusion, but Zhou Ximing wants to use this as an examination question, which is really a bit bold.

She looked at Zhou Ximing, "There seems to be no correct answer to these two questions."

"If there were correct answers to everything, governing the government would not be so difficult." Zhou Ximing chuckled and asked again: "Madam, do you have a clue for the third question?"

"Not at all." Bai Susu replied decisively, she felt that such a headache should be left to Zhou Ximing alone.

"Madam, you might as well think about it now." Zhou Ximing was also thinking about the third topic, and he didn't have any clues at the moment, so he wanted to ask Bai Susu to come up with an idea.

Chunwei here is equivalent to her college entrance examination there.Bai Susu really never thought about naming the topic of the college entrance examination.

She habitually lay in his arms, thought carefully, and finally said, "What is the foundation of a country."

This question is too general. Manpower, material resources, financial resources and military strength can all be the foundation of a country.If it is used to test those students, it seems that it can't test anything.

"This question is really good." Zhou Ximing made such an evaluation. He looked at Bai Susu, "When I was in school, the first sentence Master Lu asked me was this sentence."

What is the foundation of a country, everything counts, and nothing counts. If you give up everything, the only thing that cannot be given up in the end is people.

"But isn't this sentence too general?" Bai Susu frowned, and asked again, "Do you want to add a sentence at the end, and find an aspect to discuss?"

In this way, we can avoid those students who are indecisive, feel that everything is important, write about everything, and finally fail to analyze everything in place.

"It's really good." Zhou Ximing took Bai Susu to the study room, wrote these three questions on a piece of paper, called A Ying, and asked him to send it to the Minister of Rites.

Tang Jianshan, who had just finished his lunch, saw A Ying sent a letter, saying it was a scientific examination topic.Tang Jianshan regained his spirit immediately and went to the study to open the letter.

Tang Jianshan almost fell off the stool when he saw what problems were written inside.These questions are nothing more than those students, and even if he writes them, he may not necessarily write answers that satisfy the emperor.

In the end, Tang Jianshan set his eyes on the last topic, and seeing the last sentence added above, find a way to write it, and couldn't help but wryly laughed out loud.

The foundation of the country contains a lot, and asking those students to choose the most important one to write is tantamount to fighting with the heroes, each has its own reasons, and there is no specific conclusion when judging the articles.

Now that the exam has not yet started, Tang Jianshan can already predict that when the imperial examination is held, those students will scratch their heads at the questions.

But after all, this was the title given by the emperor, and no one dared to say anything more. Tang Jianshan called the Minister of Industry and the Minister of History in the afternoon, and gave them the title.

Without exception, there is silence.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry is a rough man, he was silent for a while, and tentatively asked: "Do you want to have an audience with the emperor and ask him to change some topics?"

"Master Gongbu?" Tang Jianshan asked with a smile.

Mr. Gongbu shut up and didn't talk about it.

"Then make a compromise and let the queen persuade you?" Lord Shibu asked tentatively.

"Let's forget it. I guess the Queen should also be responsible for these questions." Tang Jianshan sighed faintly, already guessing the truth to some extent.

The master of the Ministry of Industry, who was in contact with Bai Susu again, nodded in agreement, "These topics do have the shadow of the queen." Especially the last one.
