In fact, when there is such a big event in the imperial court, Li Shimin, as the ruler, is in a relatively good mood, who doesn't like to show his face, the thing with a long face, in the previous dynasties, the imperial court did not have a scale like him, once passed, he levied 5,000 reserve officials from the people, which is destined to become a major historical event, so, in the process of such a major historical event, there were bad episodes, which made him like a fish stuck in a thorn, very uncomfortable, and the kindness that was forced to be pretended to be soon gone.

"Xiao Yu, Sun Zhengming, this time, another candidate has accused you of being unfair and lawless, and there is conclusive evidence presented, do you have any self-defense?"

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what evidence does Juzi have? Where is it unfair to sue me? Xiao Yu was neither humble nor arrogant, and shouted at Li Shimin on the city wall with full of enthusiasm and replied.

"This test score list is consistent with the list announced by the imperial court, why was Lu Qian, who ranked first in the Jinshi Science Examination, not selected, and also, in the list of Lu Qian, more than 900 people have higher test scores than most of the Jinshi Science Awards, why didn't they get the score?"

Li Shimin was slightly angry, and asked Xiao Yu in a loud voice, which made Lu Qian and the others feel a dark feeling in their hearts, and looked at the two of them with an expression of looking at how you are quibbling now.

In fact, how do they know that Li Shimin is not angry with Xiao Yu at all, but angry with them stupid hats who came out to do things.

At this moment, Xiao Yu answered, "Your Majesty, in the regulations of the imperial court on the selection of scholars, there is no article on selecting scholars according to the test scores, why do you use the scores as a basis to question the old minister?" ”

"Shenma?······"

Everyone, including many ministers on the city wall, almost dropped their jaws at this moment, don't take the exam according to the score, what are you doing in the whole test score list?

However, a few top ministers who have read the exam papers and know the results of the papers know why, Sun Xiangfu deliberately posted this exam score list, just to lure Lu Qian and these people into the pit, and they were not punished at the city gate before, but it was not that Sun Xiangfu let them go, but he did not find a good excuse for punishment.

Now, they can't shake off the hat of falsely accusing ministers and disturbing the order of the court.

"No, you don't take a taxi according to the test score, so what is the taxi? Is it according to the personal wishes of the examiner? Your Majesty, the grass people are not convinced, this imperial examination, the system of taking scholars is unfair, and those who answer the questions on the examination paper and get high scores are not selected, there is no such reason. ”

Lu Qian, who was suddenly shocked by Xiao Yu's divine turn, stammered a little when he spoke, if it wasn't according to the test scores, then the so-called ironclad evidence he provided would not be able to play a bullshit role, so he could only question the imperial court's system again, and he had a hunch that Xiao Yu and Sun Zhengming had already had a set of reasonable statements, and this time, I am afraid that they would fall into the pit again.

Sure enough, after Lu Qian finished speaking, Xiao Yu said again, "The imperial court has already stated in the notice of the imperial examination that this time the selection of scholars is based on the needs of the imperial court, and people with both ability and political integrity are taken. ”

Hearing Xiao Yu buckle such a hat for himself, Lu Qian and the others naturally quit, and shouted one after another, "Why do you conclude that we are talented and immoral people based on an examination paper, is it possible that if the questions are answered correctly and the articles are well written, they are talented but not virtuous?" In this way, aren't there talented people in the world who are not virtuous? ”

Since he is stubborn, Lu Qian naturally has to be stubborn to the end, he can get the first place in the imperial examination with his own strength, naturally he has some IQ, and he has no ability in debate, how can he be pushed out by the sons of the family to do things!

When Xiao Yu heard this, he looked at Lu Qian and the others with an angry face, "Say that you are talented and not virtuous, but you still don't admit it."

First of all, from the time you take the exam, fill in the name and test number, the test paper is blurred, including the marking officer, in the whole marking process, do not know who is answering the examination paper they read, until the number of people and the examination papers that have won the top three rankings are all decided, then the chief official of the Ministry of Justice will open the seal, and the name of the winner will be written on the list and announced, throughout the process, there are dozens of marking officers without knowing your identity, respectively, they have seen the examination papers you are waiting for, and voted whether to win the vote, you wait for the vote low, was not selected, but it was not the old man alone, saying that you are talented and not virtuous, but it was shown on the exam paper and recognized by all the marking officers.

If the old man's guess is correct, none of you have answered the optional answer question on the six exam papers, because there is no test score for answering that question. ”

"This ······"

Lu Qian and others suddenly thought of the child's play in the exam paper, the child's play-like optional essay question "Imagination of Hometown", each exam is only one and a half hours, to do fill-in-the-blank questions, silent writing questions, poetry questions, composition questions, and policy questions, who will focus on an unscored optional answer essay question.

"If you don't answer that optional question without points, it doesn't prove that we have a problem with our morality! It's clear that you're using clever words to exonerate yourself. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu snorted coldly, "Hmph, whether you answer that question or not cannot absolutely prove whether you have a problem with morality, but it can prove that you are a utilitarian person."

Because, you have answered all the questions on the exam paper, but you have turned a blind eye to the question that could have been answered, which proves that in your eyes, there is only the test score.

The old man said before that the imperial court is based on the needs of the country, that is to say, most of the people who are selected are to be officials, especially the candidates of the Jinshi department, who may be the chief official of a place in the future, you are so indifferent to your hometown, you don't even have the idea of building it and making it better, how can you expect you to build someone else's hometown?

For people like you who only have personal utilitarianism in their eyes, how can the court expect you to calm down, do things for the people, and contribute to the country? ”

Xiao Yu's words were sonorous and powerful, which made many candidates who were not selected look annoyed, it turned out that this question without points was actually a pit.

However, Xiao Yu's words were not finished, and continued, "The top three in the Jinshi department, many of them did not even enter the top ten in the exam, and even some questions that they couldn't answer, they directly appeared on the exam papers, and they didn't take chances to get answers, which shows that they are all honest gentlemen."

Moreover, they answered this question without test marks very well, and in the article, they mentioned many specific ways to build their hometowns, these suggestions are very useful for the imperial court, therefore, they are the talents that the imperial court needs, and the imperial court takes them, which is fair, just, and reasonable. ”

When Xiao Yu said this, Lu Qian and these people actually had nothing to say, because the onlookers had already spoken out in favor of Xiao Yu's words, and felt that the imperial examination of the imperial court should be so.

In fact, the reason for not winning them is not only the points that Xiao Yu said, there are many pits in the questions, especially in the policy question, all those who have a conflict between their political ideas and the next plan of the imperial court will fall to the inferior level, and those who have the ability to answer the questions, but those who do not answer the essay questions will fall to the next level.

Therefore, even if someone is bored and answers the last optional question, the probability of being selected will not be very high, resulting in the number of them who finally fall off the list as high as ninety percent.

"These are your conjectures, the grass people are not convinced, the grass people are not convinced······"

"It's just a pity that you failed to give all the marking officers a good direction of speculation, which is why your skills are inferior to others and you failed, no wonder others. Your Majesty, the minister's self-defense has been completed, and I respectfully ask for the Holy Judgment. Xiao Yu didn't bother to pay attention to Lu Qian who was roaring, and arched his hand to Li Shimin.

"During this period, the examinees disturbed the order of the court for no reason, falsely accused the minister, ordered the criminal department to be imprisoned, and the legal department discussed the crime, and I will personally intervene in the punishment matter.

Xiao Qing, Sun Qing, who was in charge of the scientific expedition this time, was specially gifted, and went to the Qionglin banquet with the top three sons of the six subjects.

This section takes the middle and lifts the child, and the chief officer of the employing department brings it back, and gives the welcome banquet, which should be issued by the royal government. ”

Li Shimin finally made a decision, and all the lifters who were selected were relieved, and they also accidentally mixed up with a welcome banquet, but they didn't know that this welcome banquet would not be held in the legendary Wangjiang Tower, these lifters from all over the country, but a large number of them are poor children who are not able to spend in Wangjiang Tower, because, Ming Calculation, engineering, medicine, and business account for most of the people, among these people, except for businessmen or maybe some money, the rest of the classes are not rich class.

Xiao Yu, who had a relaxed face, watched the six branches and top three lifters enter the gate at the gate of the imperial city, and then walked leisurely and Sun Xiangfu side by side towards the imperial city, that is, even they were not qualified to fight horses in the imperial city.

"After the Qionglin banquet is over, the old man will rush to Shuzhong to take office."

"Shu Road is difficult, Xiao Xiang is old, pay attention to take care of your body."

"The old man grew up in the hot and humid south since he was a child, and he is quite adaptable to the climate in Shuzhong, and I only hope that the various reforms in Shuzhong can be implemented smoothly, so that Datang will become an unprecedented dynasty in the hands of you and me."

Xiao Yu is the seventh son of Emperor Liang Ming of the Southern Dynasty, he is in his fifties, he has experienced the changes of the five dynasties, and has seen the ups and downs of the change of dynasties.

Sun Xiangfu understood his mood and comforted, "Xiao Xiang, don't worry, with me in Chang'an to help watch, we Datang will not have any problems." ”

"Well, with you in Chang'an, the old man is relieved, what should be worried is the old man's management of Shuzhong, if there is a letter from the old man to ask for help, Zhengming must help him!"

"Definitely, definitely."
