Chapter 18: The Temple Examination (II)

After listening to Ji Kang's words, Ji Xin felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and said to Ji Kang:

"The courtiers have followed the king for many years, and they know my king's ambitions. Our king pacified the northeast and unified the land, so that tens of millions of people could live and work in peace and contentment. At this time, it is also the time for my Yan country to connect the upper and lower and create a great cause. ”

"Please rest assured that since the ministers are in charge of the ministry, they will be conscientious and take good care of the officials in various places for my king. If there are hamsters found, the ministers will definitely punish them in strict accordance with the law, please rest assured that my king will not worry. ”

Ji Kang looked at the solemn expression on Ju Xin's face, and said to Ju Xin with a smile:

"Drama, in the past ten years, you and I have set off from Jidu to Liaodi, and then returned to Jidu from Liaodi. The widow is very clear and glad at your desire to assist the widow in accomplishing great things. ”

"The widow deeply knows the courage and loyalty of the drama relative to the widow, and today I also feel it in my heart, so I will talk to the drama about the widow's mind. The widow thinks that there is nothing that cannot be said about the drama! ”

"The widow doesn't hide the drama, the widow just wants to create a new country that I haven't had since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in China. If you follow the widow, you will also be the founding minister of the new dynasty and leave your name in the annals of history. ”

"Whoever follows the widow and has this thought, the widow will not fail you in the future. But for some hamsters who don't know the general situation, we must not tolerate it. ”

Ji Kang's words made the old man Ji Xin, unusually excited when he heard it.

He bowed down to Ji Kang and said, "The ministers will follow the teachings of my king today." ”

Ji Kang's face was calm, and his eyes were unusually deep.

After Qidi returned to Yan Kingdom, it was a good thing for the merchants of the entire Yan Kingdom.

A new type of market with millions of people suddenly plunged many merchants in Yanguo into a state of "madness".

A large number of new and various goods suddenly poured into Qidi.

Especially when the New Year is approaching, the commercial activities in various parts of Yan Country have reached a peak.

The overall price of goods in Yan is rising slowly every year. However, this slight price rise did not attract too much attention from the people in the counties and counties of Yan Kingdom.

For many officials who graduated from Xiangping College, this is the so-called weak "inflation". This level of inflation, on the whole, is beneficial to the economy of Yan Kingdom.

Of course, the degree of inflation must not be too large, otherwise, it will be harmful to Yan Guo.

For Ji Kang, other items can be moderately inflated, but items related to the vital interests of the people, such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation, must absolutely maintain price stability.

Waijikang is the majestic king.

But as long as he returned to the harem, Ji Kang consciously became a good son of his mother Ji Zhao; Su Ya, Qingzhu, and Qingmei are good husbands; Ji Hua, Ji Xia, and Ji Wu are good fathers.

Mother Ji Zhao is now a little unkind to see herself in Ji Kang's opinion.

Taking care of Ji Hua, Ji Xia, and Ji Wu every day is already my mother's favorite.

Ji Hua, who was crying in Ji Kang's arms, was hugged by his mother and stopped crying immediately.

"Alright, you go and go about your national affairs. Don't mess with me here, okay? ”

Mother Ji Zhao said unceremoniously.

"Mother, with these three little things, do you not like to see your son so much?"

Ji Kang looked at his mother and said very aggrieved.

Ji Zhao laughed, looked at Ji Hua who was already "giggling" in his arms, and said:

"You're right, I've got these three little things of mine, and that's enough."

Several attendants and palace maids waiting beside his mother looked at Ji Kang's "deflated" appearance, and their heads lowered.

Ji Kang was angry in his heart, and he didn't know what to do!

The next day, Ji Kang washed up, and after breakfast, he came to the Affinity Palace.

The snow fell heavily, and a thick layer was laid in front of the temple.

Ji Kang looked at the snowflakes that were still falling outside, and sat at the table, thoughtful.

After a while, Ge Xiangju Xin came to report:

"Your Majesty, the one hundred and eighty-two people recommended by Qi Di are already waiting in the main hall square in front."

"Oh, let's go to the main hall with the widow." Ji Kang got up and said to Ji Xin.

"No." Drama Xin responded.

The main hall of the thistle palace is not far from the affinity hall at the rear, and there are corridors around it.

After Ji Kang came to the main hall, he saw one hundred and eighty-two tables and chairs, which had been placed neatly.

To the attendant beside him, Ling Wang Cong said, "Let everyone who participated in this palace test enter the main hall." ”

"No."

After a while, under the leadership of Wang Cong and several attendants, one hundred and eighty-two people from the four counties and counties of Qi were recommended to enter the main hall.

And all the people entered the temple and lined up, and together they knelt down and prostrated to the young king, who was on the throne of the king, and said:

"Meet my king. I am the king of ten thousand years! ”

"Everyone is flat."

"Thank you, my king." The one hundred and eighty-two stood up.

Ji Kang looked at everyone and a smile appeared on his face.

Facing the drama Xin who was under the throne, he said: "Drama, let's start." ”

"Obey the edict."

After that, Ji Xin picked up the roster in his hand and said loudly to everyone:

"Everyone is assigned to sit according to the results of the officials' assessment, and they are not allowed to make noise."

Under the guidance of the officials and attendants of the Ministry of Rites, the one hundred and eighty-two people quickly sat down in the hall.

Everyone was nervous, waiting for Ji Kang and Ju Xin to come up with the question.

Yesterday, Ji Kang and Ji Xin had already come up with a good topic.

Ju Xin shouted to everyone:

"You can explain the way of governing the country, governing the government, and being an official according to what you have learned and even experience. This is for the country, and you can elaborate on it, totaling two hours. ”

This kind of assessment method has never appeared in Qidi before.

Everyone has to answer the questions on the spot, and the test is their own vision and knowledge, and they have learned it in real time.

Of course, the choice of sentences and even the writing are also extremely important.

The one hundred and eighty-two people who came from all over the place did not dare to slack off, and they all bowed their heads and pondered.

There was silence in the hall.

After seeing that everyone had begun to put pen to paper and began to write.

Ji Kang got down from the throne and walked slowly in the hall, accompanied by only the Pavilion Drama Xin behind him.

When entering the hall, everyone had been told that there was no need to salute Ji Kang when doing the question.

Therefore, in the entire hall, there is only the sound of pen and ink writing on paper.

Ji Kang's gaze swept over everyone's test papers one by one, silently.

The time of this palace examination is two hours, and Ji Kang naturally will not wait for two hours here.

After turning around, Ji Kang returned to the affinity hall in the rear, leaving Ju Xin and the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the School Department to be in charge of invigilating the exam.

According to the pre-regulations, after the examination, the officials of the Ministry and the Department of Education will cross-examine the papers.

After the results come out, they are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.

In the afternoon, the results of the temple examination were out.

Ji Kang spot-checked a few test papers and was basically satisfied.

instructed the drama Xindao: "Drama, according to what we have discussed, let these palace test personnel go to Jidu Xiangping Academy to study for half a year!" After the completion of the study, he can be assigned to serve in various counties and counties as a deputy position. ”

"No." Ju Xin saluted and withdrew.

After Ji Xin left, Ji Kang also walked out of the hall.

Looking at the palace buildings, pavilions, palaces, and corridors in the thistle palace have been covered with heavy snow, the scenery is extremely beautiful.

Ji Kang walked to the steps of the hall and stepped on the thick snow with his feet.

The tiredness just now was suddenly driven away without a trace.

Yan Xiao has been king for three years, and it is about to pass. The first year that belongs to Ji Kang himself is coming!

Ji Kang doesn't know what kind of encounter he will face in the new year?
