Chapter 522: Circle the Champion

This unique imperial examination, because of Zhu Hao's many detailed preparations, was carried out smoothly, and the eunuch group headed by Wei Zhongxian did not realize that Zhu Hao's intention of this move was rarely not undermined.

However, these people are constantly inciting scholars all over the world to criticize Zhu Hao, and the reason why Wei Zhongxian will use such a roundabout method to make Zhu Hao stumbling.

It is because the last time Zhu Hao besieged the Forbidden City, he really frightened him, and he was very afraid that the hard steel with Zhu Hao would attract Zhu Hao to besiege the Forbidden City again.

As the chief examiner of the imperial examination, Zhu Hao was very busy after the end of the imperial examination.

Therefore, Zhu Hao must personally read the file and select useful talents from it.

Of course, Zhu Hao didn't look at them one by one, he gave the key words, and then presented them to him if the key words appeared in the volume, and he didn't judge the rest, of course, those who he hadn't read the papers, those students, were among the unlisted.

Even so, there are hundreds of volumes that Zhu Hao personally judged, in order to complete the release of the list at the specified time, Zhu Hao spent this time checking these sent papers day and night.

However, to Zhu Hao's disappointment, most of the opinions of these submitted papers were too pedantic and not the talent he wanted to choose.

Just when he was extremely disappointed with these papers and the papers he submitted, a "On the Letter to Wang Ping Liaoce" made Zhu Hao's eyes light up, first looking at this title, Zhu Hao knew that this person was a very scheming person, knowing that he was the main examiner of this time, and writing about his own personal experience could quickly gain his favor.

At the same time, Zhu Hao also felt that this person was really bold, because this Pingliao thing was something he had personally experienced, and the details were very clear to him, this person didn't need to say it at all, the donkey's lips were not the horse's mouth, even if there was a few deviations, Zhu Hao would be the first to circle him out.

With curiosity, Zhu Hao continued to read this test paper, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

Because in this volume, whether it is the two-way immigration of Liaodong and Gansu, or the several use of troops by Zhu Hao, there is a detailed analysis, and they can all get to the point, so that Zhu Hao can't help but be amazed after reading it in the end.

However, Zhu Hao also felt deep doubts about this answer, he knew about the Liao policy, everyone knew to the outside world, there was only two-way immigration, and the reclamation policy of one out of ten.

As for the several times he used troops, he was not a person in Zhu Hao's army, and he didn't know the details at all, but this person could not help but make Zhu Hao curious.

Zhu Hao held this curiosity, privately opened the envelope, and checked the name of the person, this look, couldn't help but surprise Zhu Hao, because in this envelope, the word Jinzhou Wu Sangui was written on the place of life.

In fact, Wu Sangui's ancestral home is Gaoyou, Jiangnan, which is the place where duck eggs are laid, but because his father served as the chief soldier of Jinzhou, the whole family migrated to Jinzhou, Liaodong for many years, so Wu Sangui will write the appearance of Wu Sangui in Jinzhou on the scroll.

In ancient times, the imperial examination not only had to write the name, but also the place of origin, which was actually a way to eliminate the appearance of duplicate names, and also had the meaning of selecting materials to balance the convenience of various places.

Zhu Hao, as a traverser, Wu Sangui's name, was resounding in the ears during the late Ming Dynasty, how could Zhu Hao not know.

Zhu Hao looked at Wu Sangui's test paper and didn't speak for a long time, after all, Wu Sangui didn't have a good reputation in history, and he was said to everyone that he was the number one traitor in the late Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Hao himself knows that not to mention anything else, Wu Sangui has guarded the mountain customs, and for more than ten years, Houjin has not advanced an inch, and this military exploit is unparalleled.

Besides, Wu Sangui was helpless to surrender after the death of Emperor Chongzhen, which was actually a helpless move, because at this time, the Southern Ming Dynasty was fleeing for its own life, where could it take care of Shanhaiguan.

Wu Sangui had the Qing army in front of him, and Li Zicheng's Dashun regime in the back, if he didn't want to die senselessly, then he had to choose one side to take refuge, saying that his defection was also a helpless move.

Zhu Hao thought about this, and immediately slapped the table and said:

"That's it!"

"Whoever you love, this king believes in your loyalty!"

Zhu Hao's words came out, and immediately circled Wu Sangui, the first champion of the imperial examination, this martial artist in the late Ming Dynasty, because of Zhu Hao's appearance, became the champion of literature, and it can also be seen from here that Wu Sangui is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs.

Subsequently, Zhu Hao circled again, several students who can be cultivated, but these people did not have Wu Sangui's article, which made Zhu Hao so excited.

With the passage of time, it is time to release the list, and after the release of the list, these heavyweight lifters naturally want to thank Zhu Hao, the main examiner.

Zhu Hao met these people in the front hall of the Xinwang Mansion, Zhu Hao encouraged these people on the list after a few words, and then let them go back, when these people bowed and retired, Zhu Hao spoke again:

"New champion, stay for a while, this king has something to ask you!"

When many students heard this, they all looked at Wu Sangui with envious, jealous and hateful eyes, but at this moment Wu Sangui was extremely worried in his heart, he knew what he had written, and he was afraid that it would cause dissatisfaction with King Xin and harm the entire family.

Zhu Hao called out to Wu Sangui, and then looked at Wu Sangui carefully, only to see that Wu Sangui was handsome, with good facial features, burly figure, and similar in age to him, although he could not be said to be a peerless beautiful man, but his body also exuded a vigorous and heroic spirit.

Zhu Hao's first sense of Wu Sangui was very good, and he secretly said in his heart:

"How can such a dignified person be a big traitor?"

"Let this king test him!"

Zhu Hao thought so, so he asked Wu Sangui:

"This king has seen your discussion of this king's Ping Liao policy, the writing is very good, it seems that you know the situation in Liaodong very well, seeing that your hometown is also in Jinzhou, you must have had a lot of contact with the people who built the captivity, this king wants to ask you, what do you think of the people who built the captives?"

Wu Sangui listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly bowed down and said:

"Returning to Your Highness, the person who built the captivity is really a jackal!"

"He has offended my Ming Dynasty many times, attacked my land, and killed my compatriots, and the students hate to slaughter them all to prevent future troubles!"

Zhu Hao looked at Wu Sangui, his face turned red, and he was full of righteous indignation, he couldn't help nodding slightly, and said secretly in his heart:

"But in the future, as far as it seems now, Wu Sangui has no good impression of Jianyu, and his words contain the patriotic heart of this fist."

"It seems that Wu Sangui has a good analysis with this king, he is not a natural traitor, but forced to be helpless!"
