Compared with the Fengtian Hall in the capital of the Ming Dynasty that was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle and later renamed the Huangji Palace, whether it is the Daqing Hall or the Zichen Palace, it is slightly shabby, and the Jiying Hall where the Great Song Dynasty held the palace test is even more shabby, just more than 300 lifters, plus 100 ministers in the court, the entire Jiying Hall is crowded.

When the bones of the Jin Kingdom can't be fried, they will destroy the Jin Kingdom, and then go to Xijin Mansion to build a new imperial city.

After secretly making this decision in his heart, Zhao Huan couldn't help but rub his forehead, glanced at the more than three hundred people in the hall who were already sitting in front of the desk and ready to answer the question, and then said: "

Born with the desire of the people, he will order the king to be the lord. The king is ordered by heaven to educate and guide the people. I inherited the mandate of heaven, the monarch gave birth to the people, spent more than a year on clothes and food, fought and fought in order to stabilize the country, and thought and thought only to live in peace.

However, the annoyance of teeth is different, and people are different. A man of reason, who wants to help the king, is determined to do the way. Received by the king, and the people offered. Zhang Jun's virtue and Bujun's benevolence make up for its deficiencies and save more than enough. Or the face is so different, the corporal of Sinoma, incorruptible and shameless, can not deny himself, if there is nothing to do?

All the scribes, but Chen passed by the state capital to see and hear, I will take a look. ”

The meaning of Zhao Huan's words is very simple:

Since God has made this world have people, then there must be an emperor to manage them, and it just so happens that I am the emperor who was ordered by heaven to manage the people.

But since I became the emperor, I have to get up before dawn almost every day for more than a year, and I may not be able to eat breakfast at night, either in the field or on the way to the field, in order to make the country of the Great Song Dynasty stable and let the people have a good life.

But this person is different from others, and if there is one, he is sensible, takes the salary I give, and enjoys the support of the people, although he is still high, but he can be regarded as serving the people.

However, some officials are not only dissatisfied with me, but also take the salary I give them and do not do their own things, they can't control their own hands, and they go around harming the people.

It just so happens that those of you who came to participate in the palace examination come from all over the place, you can write down what you have seen and heard along the way to those state capitals, and I will look at them one by one to see who is eating my old Zhao's food and smashing my old Zhao's bowl.

But here's the problem.

The content of the palace test, Taizu only tested poetry, and Taizong added a test. Shenzong Xining has been calling off the three topics of poetry, fu and theory for three years, and he has specially planned and set a limit of 1,000 words. Later, he tested the law and decided the case. Zhezong Yuanyou resumed the three topics of poetry, fu and treatise, and after Shaosheng, he followed the system of Xining's trial strategy.

It's just that no matter what kind of gameplay is above, it's not as fucked up as Zhao Huan! This is a direct and obvious report for the exam-takers to call the state officials who passed by!

However, before the test-takers came to their senses, Zhao Huan threw a second bomb one after another:

"Heaven is the king of the people, and he will teach it, but the success of his governance and religion will use the talents of the world, and the flying dragon will be in the sky, and the rain will fall on the earth and all things, and the wind will lift and the clouds will follow.

So for the birth of the virtuous in the world, the king of the people into their talents, and the use of it, so that to serve its achievements, the great achievements, towering and brilliant, Tang, Yu, three generations are also so.

The Emperor and Song Dynasty inherited each other, the virtue was the same as Yao and Shun, and the breadth of the map was excessive, and the deep benevolence and Houze were all over the world. However, he is still diligent in cultivating the virtuous as the foundation of reason, and the heart of heaven is pleasing to learn, and the virtuous and talented are the users, and the cover is also Jiran. From what we know, God loves the Holy Monarch, and it is no better to leave him with merit, which is not accidental!

However, the temple test selection of materials is not careful. Today, there are 358 people who will take the examination, and I will choose the best ones, and depose the unvirtuous ones to read again, and all beings must not ignore them. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Huan glanced at him as if he had no intention of doing so, and signaled that he had no intention of leading someone to send the paper used for answering the question.

Ignoring the previous self-touting, Zhao Huan's words meant that the selection of materials for the palace examination is a big deal, you candidates don't think that you can sit back and relax when you get to the palace examination, it's best to think about how to answer my question before answering, otherwise, I will let you not even have to be an official.

At this moment, not only those who came to participate in the palace examination were caught off guard, but even Li Gang and other ministers in the court were also beaten with a stunned face-

Although the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty don't take the ancestral system very seriously, but the first year of Jingkang is less than a hundred years away from the second year of Jiayou, and Emperor Renzong's bones may not have turned to ashes.

Aren't you afraid that there will be a few more ruthless stubbles in these dethroned moves, and in a fit of anger, the family will defect to the Jin Kingdom, and then look back and disgust the Great Song Dynasty?

Zhao Huan smiled indifferently, suddenly pulled down his face again, and said in a deep voice: "Those who have been dethroned can go back to study as good students and take the exam again next year." But if anyone eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, runs away to another country, and turns his head to deal with the Great Song Dynasty, then don't blame me for doing things desperately. ”

"Official?"

Seeing that Zhao Huan was changing the ancestral system again, and threatening the candidates here, Li Gang, who was the assistant at the time, also had to stand up, wanting to remind Zhao Huan to pay attention to the next occasion-

These test-taking actors may not be very clear, but these bigwigs in the court are very clear, Zhao Huan has always been true to his word, saying that the whole family will never let go of a dog if he kills people, and now the official family says that if someone dares to defect to another country, don't blame him for doing things absolutely, that means that the official family has already made a good idea in his heart.

Zhao Huan didn't pay attention to Li Gang's reminder at all, but smiled indifferently and said, "Let's start answering the question, three sticks of incense for a limited time." ”

As Zhao Huan's voice fell, Li Gang could only retreat helplessly, allowing him to unintentionally ignite Shi Xiang.

Zhao Huan glanced at the candidates who were sitting behind the desk and frowning but didn't know how to answer the questions, and began to squint their eyes.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Huan didn't expect this imperial examination to select a few useful talents at all-

To govern the country and assist the king, what is needed has never been poetry and songs, and even policies and theories are not the most important.

The most important thing is to see whether an official can pay attention to the lives of local people and whether he can propose targeted solutions to the state's malpractices.

Of course, it also depends on the conduct of this official.

Those who are virtuous but not talented are not beneficial to politics, and those who are talented and unvirtuous are easy to harm the people!

It just so happened that the second question prepared by Zhao Huan was aimed at this problem.
