Reborn to the fourth year of Jianyuan

On October [-]th of the first year of Tianming, there are still four days before the army returns to Beijing.

In the morning, Zhu Qiaoxin asked about the imperial examination after he dealt with it step by step and emphasized some matters in the disaster area.

The Ministry of Rites had already reviewed all the test papers before, and had already selected the top six candidates to present to her for a decision.As for the number one spot at the end of the martial arts test, they all directly competed in the arena.

I don't know why the empress above brought up this matter again, and stepped forward to stand out from the courtiers.Liu Yu, who was wearing a large navy blue court uniform, hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have selected the top 44 candidates in this test with my subordinates, and the next [-] have already been ranked. Now we have to wait His Majesty has decided the ranking of the top six."

"En!" It seemed that he just remembered the articles that were on his desk. After thinking for a while, Zhu Qiaoxin said directly: "Come here, go and get the articles of those six people. I just want to make sure that the number one scholar is here today!"

Hearing what Zhu Qiaoxin said, some eunuchs immediately looked at Yun Xing who was standing aside.

The empress doesn't like eunuchs close by, so the entire Great Zhou Palace can openly enter the empress' bedroom in the Xuanwu Hall, and only the empress' personal guards are left to take things.

"No!" Clasping his fists and nodding his head, Yun Xing hurriedly backed away.

And just after Yun Xing went out, Zhu Qiaoxin said in a loud voice when the courtiers below were surprised and astonished: "This year is no different from previous years. It is the first time that Da Zhou has agreed to women's scientific examination. I am the queen alone. In order not to let Da Zhou's People of the literati felt that the queen, Gu, would deliberately favor the female examinees of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, Gu decided that the top six rankings in the literary examination were not decided by Gu, but by the King of Jiangnan, the Duke of Yue and the six ministers. The eight most important people in the entire Great Week select this year's champion of liberal arts, so I imagine that this will be able to block the mouths of everyone in the world."

"Your Majesty, no!" Hearing that Zhu Qiaoxin said such a method, Yue Shengde, whose beard was completely white, was the first to object.

"Your Majesty, what the Duke said is absolutely true. Since ancient times, the first-ranked scholar has been appointed by the emperor, so there is room for small officials to intervene!" Shu Keqin, the Minister of the Household Department who was also a three-generation veteran minister with Yue Shengde, also stepped forward. Agree.

Seeing that Ji Lian Anrong from the Ministry of Industry, who was always playing tricks on the wind, looked at the two people in front of him.

Without thinking too much, Liu Yu immediately clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is wise, you should use extraordinary means at extraordinary times, and this humble minister leads the order!"

His eyes flickered slightly, Yu Zhengyu, who was promoted by Zhu Qiaoxin from the nine-door admiral to the second-rank official, also stood up quickly: "Zhengyu complies with the order, thank you for your love!"

"An Rong complies with the order, thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" Looking at the confused expression on the queen's face above, Ji Lian An Rong immediately made up his mind.

"Chu Xiangyang?" He looked down at the man in his early twenties with a smile that was not a smile, and was regarded by his elder brother as the right and left hand.At a young age, Zhu Qiaoxin jumped from a commoner to a minister of the Ministry of Punishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Zhu Qiaoxin said indifferently: "You also think that you can't choose talents like this?" "

"No, how dare the emperor's order—" Chu Xiangyang said slowly.

"That's good! I only like those who know current affairs!" He interrupted directly, and what he said next.Zhu Qiaoxin rushed down and said sharply: "Gu keeps the six departments, and you are kept to let you share the government affairs, share the worries and solve the puzzles for Gu, not to let you fight against Gu one by one. There are only a few of you in the whole Da Zhou. Members, even such a small matter requires you to make irresponsible remarks, so the emperor will become a joke!"

"Your servants are terrified!" Yue Shengde, who blushed and was the first to object, quickly knelt down, and then all the ministers in the hall knelt down subconsciously.

"Gu just forgot. Since Lu Wuyong disappeared, there is no minister in the Ministry of War. Then his position will be temporarily replaced by Gu. Don't you say that the selection of the champion is Gu's responsibility. Now Gu, Zheng Tang, The Duke of Yue, and the five of you, just make up the number." There was no intention of getting everyone up, and seeing Yun Xing coming up with the six scrolls from a distance, Zhu Qiaoxin said loudly: " The first reason why Gu attaches so much importance to this essay exam this time is because this is the first time that I have granted permission for a Dazhou woman to participate in the scientific examination since I came here as an empress. And the second reason is because of the For the six people, the solitary committee will directly arrange for them to stay in Yancheng according to their rankings. As for where they should be placed in the six departments, it depends on their abilities."

Everyone was startled, and even Liu Yu faintly felt that something was abnormal.

"Master?" Just as everyone was thinking about it, Yun Xing had already walked in.

"Go forward and read their articles directly. Remember not to read their names, just read them one by one!"

It was rare to feel a little nervous in her heart, Zhu Qiaoxin ordered directly.

Seeing Yun Xing approaching, Zhu Zhengtang, who had been silent down there all this time, vaguely guessed why she worked so hard.

"What is art, art is also law. For the prosperity of a country, art is the most important thing, so I foolishly think that if we want to prosper Zhou, we must first legislate-"

The first one to be read is actually Liu Yu's favorite, knowing that the other party is just a merchant commoner who is not a weak crown.So even though he knew exactly who the empress wanted to support this time, Liu Yu still made a rare decision to keep this talent for Da Zhou.

"Skill is Tao. If there is Tao but there is no skill, there is still a way to seek it. If there is skill but no way, it ends with skill. Therefore, skill and Tao, Tao is the most important thing---"

"Skills are the law. People must have skills first, so that they can follow the rules. If there is no skill, a country will look like nothing at all, so-"

"Skills are planning. A gentleman seeks the country, but a villain seeks his life. Those who seek the country worry about the world first; those who seek themselves first benefit themselves. This week is in trouble, so those who seek the country and themselves must respond to the will of the people. Only then--"

"Skills are power. Use power and tactics to use soldiers, and everything is invincible. There are not enough cavalry in this week, and they will be controlled. If things go on like this, the country will definitely lose the country. Therefore, I hope that your majesty will respect power. You must know---"

……

Several long articles, each wording carefully, each well-founded.After two sticks of incense, and after Yun Xing had finished reading, the entire court hall became a little too quiet for a while.

Not wanting to make everything too obvious, Zhu Qiaoxin sat up straight and said softly: "What is art? This is also a question that Gu has always wanted to know. What you heard just now is the answer given to Gu by my talented man of Zhou. Six people Who can make it to the first place, who can become the No. [-] pick, and who is the No. [-] pick, everyone may wish to speak up!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the first one in Chen Guan is the number one scholar!" Yue Shengde was the first to speak, and Gongshu Keqin immediately agreed with him.

Seeing the silence of the queen above, Liu Yu agreed after thinking about it.

I also knew that the other party was indeed talented, so when Zhu Zhengtang also wanted to belong to him, looking at the scroll already in his hand, Zhu Qiaoxin directly announced: "Then this year's champion is Shen Hongyuan, the son of Suyang salt merchant Shen Changrui. ."

The corners of the mouth are slightly raised, seeing that it is the pen and ink of Yue Qingfeng.It meant that she was the second place, so Zhu Qiaoxin said softly, "Where is the second place?"

"Skills are power, and if you use power and skill to use troops, everything is invincible." Yu Zhengyu was the first to raise his opinion.

After seeing Zhu Qiaoxin's unfriendly eyes, Yu Zhengyu quickly shut up, knowing that she already had a candidate.

"Master Yu is referring to the third one, but I think the phrase 'skills are the means of seeking, the gentleman seeks the country, and the villain seeks his life.' is more interesting." I have always been slow in everything and always give people a sneaky look. Chu Xiangyang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, rarely spoke earlier this time.

Hearing his words, Zhu Qiaoxin nodded approvingly.If she hadn't promised her sister that she would never use power too much for personal gain, how could she allow them to say so much.Seeing that someone finally got to the point now, Zhu Qiaoxin's heart that was hanging just now finally eased a little.

"The old minister thinks that the third one is a little too arrogant. He is a small candidate. What qualifications do he have to mention conspiracy, a gentleman seeks the country? And a villain seeks his life? If he only mentioned villains, but this person But openly mentioning the word "seeking the country" is really a bit arrogant. Such an unabashed and self-confident person, even if she is talented, how can His Majesty use her!" The article written by Yue Qingfeng has been repeatedly belittled.

Seeing that the face of the cousin above was extremely dark, Zhu Zhengtang coughed twice and hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Master Gongshu's words are wrong, you don't care about the front, let's talk about the back. The third person mentioned it repeatedly when he was behind. My Da Zhou's recent situation, this king thinks that among the six, she is the most down-to-earth."

"But the third one is indeed a bit too straightforward. As a courtier and a commoner, how can she easily mention how to manage the Great Zhou? The Great Zhou belongs to the Zhu family. She really—"

"What do you mean, as long as the third person is surnamed Zhu, is she qualified to worry about whether she is the No. The second word was written next to the name: "Zhu Mingyue, the third princess of Xu Yangkang's mansion. I am a relative of Zhu Qiaoxin's three clans, and I am the one who is called my sister by the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don't know this identity and this body. Is it worthy of a small second place?"

The lowly people can come to this point today, which one is really stupid.Seeing the empress behave like this, everyone knew that everything today might have been caused by that princess, so they naturally didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly said yes.

Seeing that things have come to this point, Zhu Qiaoxin didn't want to waste time, so she glanced at Gongshu Keqin with a half-smile.With a swipe of his pen, Zhu Qiaoxin said directly: "Congratulations to Mr. Gongshu, it's a waste of time to make a daughter of Gongshu Wenyue. It's really like a father to be able to write such an article at the age of 16!"

"There, there, it's all His Majesty's favor!" Although he was a little embarrassed, he saw that his little daughter did not fall out of the first class.Facing Sifang's envious and jealous eyes, Gongshu Keqin quickly laughed.

"Skill is the law. People must first have skills, and they can follow the rules. This person is also a great talent. I have given him a very low Jinshi rate. I will allow him to enter the hall with three people from the first class and the first class."

For the first time, I felt what it felt like to have someone in my hand.Happy in my heart, I lowered my head and waved to the people kneeling below to signal them to get up.Zhu Qiaoxin lowered her head and continued writing: "Ouyang Yifang from the Ouyang family in Jiangxi, Ju Shanshi, a scholar from Shangjun, and Xu Xinqing, the daughter of the county magistrate in Yiyang, all three of them are good candidates and all belong to the second-class class!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Seeing that she was in a good mood, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Liu Yu, pass on the news. Immediately write their names on the imperial list and post them outside the imperial city. If you want them to be the envy of everyone in the entire Zhou Dynasty, let all the literati in the world All poets understand. In my Great Zhou, as long as he is talented, no matter he is a powerful minister, he is also the son of a merchant, or the son of an ordinary farmer, he will be reused and cherish his talent!"
