Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 424 The Imperial Examination Begins

"Well, since Huaidong has been leveled, let him come back!"

Wang Jing said lightly.

In fact, Tang Shengzong's situation in Huaidong was sent to Sihong every few days. Wang Jingneng could see that when Tang Shengzong was in Huaidong, he was still fighting steadily at the beginning.

But after adding Shen Tianzi and Zhang Hao under his command, he became a little aggressive.

Continuous battles, non-stop, squeezed the physical strength of the soldiers under his command more ruthlessly, and also caused some unnecessary losses during the fight.

Seeing that the Huai army is about to start expanding its army.

He was anxious, worried that he would not be able to return in time during the expansion of the army, and participate in this opportunity of official promotion.

Through this, Wang Jing could see that Tang Shengzong's mentality was not stable enough.

Since I sent him to suppress the bandits, I must be thinking of promoting him. Even if he didn't come back in time, I would not lose his benefits.

But Tang Shengzong was too worried about gains and losses, even if he thought of this, he couldn't help but think wildly.

This kind of mentality is far from the general who commands the army.

At this time, Wang Jing also realized it.

Why did Tang Shengzong follow Zhu Yuanzhang very early, and he also has the ability to command troops, but he has never had outstanding achievements, nor has he had the experience of being alone.

With his mentality, he can only serve as the deputy general of the army.

Wang Jing saw Tang Shengzong's flaws, and did not change his focus on promoting him, but his expectations for him would definitely be lowered a lot.

If he needs to send a general to go out in the future, his chances are very small.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is the imperial examination! I have already selected the date of the imperial examination, and I ask the king to make a decision!"

After finishing talking about the military affairs, Shen Yi took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

There are more and more scholars gathered in Sihong, some from the north and some from the west... Many scholars under Xiang Jiajun and Northern Wei Army came to take the exam.

From this point, it can be seen that Xiang Jiajun and the Northern Wei Army did not really stabilize the interior.

The scholars under their rule did not mean to regard them as monarchs.

After all, Xiang Yu's reputation is well known to all scholars, and no one wants to go to a monarch who is reluctant to reward his officials even if he gives out his official seal.

And Xiang Yu is notorious for not seeing the big picture. With this defect, no matter how strong Xiang Yu's personal ability and commanding ability are, no scholars will be optimistic about him.

"The exam will start on February [-]th... Okay, then on February [-]th, the first courtyard exam will begin!"

Wang Jing looked through the detailed rules sent by Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang, but he had no opinion.

Both Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang are veterans who are very familiar with imperial examinations.

The outline and detailed rules that have been sorted out are comprehensive and there are no flaws.

As for the examination room, [-] seats were built in the original military barracks in Sihong. With sufficient manpower and materials, the examination room was built very quickly and could accommodate Sihong candidates.

"I understand, I'm going to post the edict now..."

Shen Yi said immediately.

The most important thing for the Huai army right now is the attachment of Cao Jingzong and the possible threat from Xuzhou in the north, and the expansion of the army and the imperial examination internally.And the imperial examination is the most important.

Selecting scholars through the imperial examination is related to the foundation of the future Huai army and the establishment of the government's official position system.

As long as it is successfully held this time, the next and next imperial examinations will come naturally, bringing a steady stream of talents to the Huai Army.

"By the way, we must strictly guard against cheating. The imperial examination is the foundation of our army, especially the first imperial examination. Many aristocratic families and other princes are widely concerned!"

"If it's done poorly, it will be ridiculous!"

Wang Jing suddenly thought of cheating and quickly reminded him.

Like many scholars who take the exam, their mental strength is not weak. If they use their mental strength to observe other people's exam papers, they can take advantage of it. This kind of situation must not happen.

If this kind of behavior is not prohibited in the imperial examination, then the imperial examination will only test the spiritual strength of scholars in the future, and what articles will be tested?
What the Huai army needs are civil servants who can govern the place, not elm heads with strong mental strength but little knowledge about other aspects.

"Yes!"

Of course, Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang knew that cheating would be destructive to the imperial examination. When they built the examination institute, they had already asked the people from the construction department and the Taoist department to set up a magic circle that shielded and suppressed the spiritual power.

In the examination room, no one can cheat through mental power.

……

The streets of Sihong became more prosperous than before.

Thousands of scholars poured into Sihong, the number seemed small. Compared with the city with a population of several hundred thousand, it was like a stream flowing into a big river.

But except for these scholars.

There are also a large number of scholars, wealthy businessmen from other places, merchants, and families who are planning to settle down in Sihong.

in their eyes.

The Huai Army, which can conduct imperial examinations to obtain scholars, is already different from other princes. When other princes were still conquering each other, the Huai Army took imperial examinations to obtain scholars leisurely.

This means that the strength of the Huai army has surpassed many nearby princes, and the prefectures and counties under its rule are stable and peaceful, without war.

As long as they are normal people, they like a stable and peaceful environment and don't want to live in the midst of war.

Therefore, many people took advantage of the opportunity of the Huai army's imperial examination and planned to settle down in Sihong.

On a street near the government office.

Many scholars are renting in nearby inns and restaurants, and many locals from Sihong, taking advantage of the gathering of scholars, tidy up their own houses and rent them out, taking the opportunity to make a lot of money.

In the square near the center of Sihong, there is a screen wall erected. Many official notices and edicts of Sihong were first posted on this wall.

Then post the announcement elsewhere.

Many scholars, looking forward to the imperial examination, want to see the official announcement as soon as possible, so they can go back and prepare.

"Duke Huai's selection of scholars through the imperial examination really won the hearts of all the scholars in Jianghuai and other places!"

In a restaurant near the street.

Two men with short beards who looked to be in their thirties were sitting in a seat near the gate, holding tea bowls and talking in a low voice.

"Yes, the imperial examinations won the hearts of the people. Talents from all over the world will continue to gather in Sihong. As time goes by, the Huai army will become stronger and stronger. The other princes will continue to lose their talents. Sooner or later, they will be annexed by King Huai!"

Another man said in a low voice.

while talking.

Two young men in official uniforms came to the screen wall next to the square and began to post notices.

Seeing this scene, many scholars on the street and nearby became commotions immediately.

Many scholars ran out immediately.

"The government posted a notice, it must be the date and rules of the imperial examination..."

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

"Go up and have a look!"

The other scholars called their friends and rushed to the wall to narrate and watch quickly.
