Pingbian Ce, a simple three words, but not at all bland, clearly reflects Liu Chengyou's ambition and ambition, the ambition and domineering spirit of swallowing the world and encompassing the universe seem to be coming, and all the candidates can't help but be serious. Of course, it won't be so mysterious, it's just the blessing of the emperor's identity.

Four rows of examination tables are placed directly outside the Guangzheng Palace. Answering in the majestic hall is both an honor and a pressure, especially since there are also a few ministers and well-known scholars from the third hall and the Hanlin Academy to invigilate the exam. This palace test, only because of Liu Chengyou's thoughts, although the execution is rough, but the scene is quite serious and atmospheric, which is enough to show importance.

And the people who should be examined, the performance is also clear, most of them are distressed and entangled, and their feelings are overflowing on their faces. The three-word proposition essay is not so easy to answer. However, there are always very few people, who are very different from ordinary people.

In the front row of the hall, a dignified scribe is a Lingjiao. Dressed in a plain robe, with beards on his cheeks, but between his faces, his old state is slightly serious, and it is Wang Pu. When I heard the three words "Pingbian Ce", my eyes lit up obviously, and compared with the hard thinking and meditation of others, the reaction was particularly calm, and I only thought about it for a while, and the corners of my mouth flashed a little peaceful smile.

The young man sitting next to him was Wang Pu, with a graceful demeanor and a very beautiful posture, and he noticed the movements of the "seniors" next to him, so he only glanced at it with his peripheral eyes, and then stabilized his mind and pondered hard. Pick up the pen and write down the three words "Pingbiance".

After staring at the words and thinking for a while, I finally picked up the pen, sat upright, and after some slight hesitation, put down the pen. Dripping and sprinkling, more than 300 words were quickly and neatly presented on the flat paper, and when I was writing like a god, I noticed that Wang Pu on his side had stopped writing.

I put the pen on the pen grid very indifferently, checked it a little, put it down, raised my hand, and handed in the paper. Soon the invigilator collected the paper and moved it out of the hall, and as for the flat side policy of his book, it was directly presented to the examiner in the east hall to read and judge. Liu Chengyou's edict, in order to seek efficiency, gave instructions while answering. This action put pressure on the candidates, after all, the action remained serious and silent, but there was not much concealment.

Wang Pu, on the other hand, was also a little affected, but the pen only paused for a moment, and then continued to write the inspiration in his head. It's just that the corners of his mouth are filled with a subtle wry smile.

"The champions of this palace test, if not surprising, should be Wang Pu and Wang Pu!" From afar, staring at the situation of the palace test, Zhao Shangjiao stroked his beard and said with emotion on his face.

Tao Gu retorted faintly: "That's not true! ”

"What does Tao Hanlin mean by this?" Hearing his words, Zhao Shangjiao glanced at Tao Gu and asked.

"These two, there are literary talents, but they have not been able to go through the wind and rain, crying ghosts and gods, what is going on, and it depends on whether what they write can enter the eyes of the officials. How did Zhao Shilang know that the rest of the scholars did not have amazing theories? Tao Gu asked lightly.

Zhao Shangjiao nodded, but said in his mouth: "What Tao Hanlin said is very true, however, it is better for me to wait for the two kings, because he knows the current affairs, far better than others." Isn't a flat-sided strategy not conducive to expressing his views in the chest? ”

"As Zhao Shilang said, it is true!" Tao Gu showed a little uncomfortable smile and pointed in the direction of the political affairs hall: "But whether it can be in line with the wishes of the official family, it is not necessarily." If it doesn't meet your intentions, I'm afraid that it will be unfavorable! ”

Tao Gu said this, as if he knew what he meant.

Zhao Shangjiao's gaze moved away from Tao Gu's body, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and made a simple salute to him: "What is the result, then let me wait and see!" ”

"Wang Pu wrote the text, so quickly, but the old man wanted to see the text!" After speaking, Zhao Shangjiao went to the east.

Looking at his back, Tao Gu squinted at the scholars who were still writing, especially those he was optimistic about, and slowly followed the back of Zhao Shangjiao. From his heart, of course, he is also biased towards Wang Pu and Wang Pu, as for why he wants to refute Zhao Shangjiao, there is no need for a reason......

Thinking of him Tao Hanlin, he has followed the current son since the submersible mansion, but this time, from beginning to end, he was suppressed by an old man of the former dynasty, and he was naturally unhappy.

However, if this system can be successfully concluded, I think he should also move his position, be promoted to a knighthood, and the Son of Heaven will not be stingy. Tao Gu has been longing for the political hall for a long time. Probably full of expectations for the future, Tao Gu's steps towards the east of the Guangzheng Palace were obviously a lot lighter.

......

The time of the temple examination is limited to one hour. Although it was a palace exam, Liu Chengyou treated it with a high standard, but he himself did not stay by the side to invigilate the exam.

In the political hall not far from the Guangzheng Palace, Liu Chengyou was sitting in it, accepting Wang Zhang's report on the coinage, which was the "homework" assigned by Liu Chengyou before.

In view of the current situation of insufficient copper, Wang Zhang and his subordinates discussed several times in the past two days and came up with a preliminary result.

First, the edict offered a reward for exploring the copper mines in the territory, collected the world's copper ore smelting workshops, forbade the state capital to privately mint copper coins, and sent people to various places to deal with and manage them in a unified manner.

Second, it prohibits all non-governmental acts of melting money and casting, and legislates to expropriate private copper materials, and all officials and civilians who secretly possess more than five catties of copper materials can be convicted and punished according to law, and the maximum sentence is death, which will be carried out from the first month of the second year of Qianyou.

Third, Wang Zhang directly suggested that the bronze statues and ritual weapons of the world's Buddhist temples should be confiscated. Obviously, the Buddha statues requisitioned from the temple in the river gave him a taste of sweetness.

"First collect the ordnance workshop, and then collect the bronze workshop, under this policy, I am afraid that there will be a wave of criticism in the world!" Hearing the report, Liu Chengyou said with a faint sigh.

Weapons - military power, bronze weapons - financial power, unconsciously, Liu Chengyou has been cutting power against Fang Zhen from two aspects. However, how to implement it, you have to take your time and see the effect.

Thinking of his actions in Tokyo, Liu Chengyou couldn't help muttering in his heart, and couldn't help but reflect, is he too radical?

After thinking about it seriously for a moment, Liu Chengyou instructed: "These three strategies, continue to improve, implement the detailed rules, consider the implementation, and do not issue them for the time being!" ”

Hearing Liu Chengyou's words, Wang Zhang was a little surprised, but seeing that his plain expression was resolute, he couldn't help but be.

I inspected the state affairs in the political hall, and it was almost noon that the Guangzheng Hall came to report that the palace test had ended. Only then did Liu Chengyou calmly go to the Guangzheng Palace.

"Your Majesty, all the scholars have finished answering and writing, and after repeated review by the ministers and others, a total of ten policy articles have been selected, which are only for Your Majesty's imperial review and agree on the final ranking!" On the Guangzheng Palace, Zhao handed over a stack of policy documents.

The table in the hall has been removed, and Liu Chengyou directly ordered: "Call all the scholars to the palace!" ”

"Yes!"

When summoned, Liu Chengyou began to carefully review the "rolling paper" in his hand.

Soon, all the scholars entered the temple and bowed in unison. Then, honestly waiting on the throne, the young Son of Heaven, to pronounce on their future.

There were many people in the hall, but it was quiet, except for the rustle of reading from time to time. There is no perfunctory, ten essays, Liu Chengyou reads each one carefully, but on top of two of them, the reading time is the longest.

After a long time, he swept around the crowd of people in the hall, and when the atmosphere climbed to the most serious, he cleared his throat and said: "After observing all the articles, each expressing his own opinions, all of them are appropriate, and Wang Pu of Yunzhou is the most suitable for me, and he should be the champion!" ”
