Li Guangtai was also extremely aggrieved in his heart.

Of course, he understood that most of these papers were inconsequential words.

But what could he do?

Candidates have long been accustomed to practicing Baguwen, and this year's exam suddenly gave them such a look, how many people are not confused?

It's not easy to write a complete article!

Because of this, Li Guangtai could only pick the generals among the lame men and selected the two hundred and thirty-eight examination papers.

You must know that in previous years, there were about 300 scholars, and this year is much less than in previous years.

But that's it, Zhang Lingyang is still not satisfied.

In fact, when it comes to writing, the worst of these test papers, I'm afraid Zhang Lingyang can't write it.

After all, what is the difference between writing ancient texts and seeking death compared to the ancients?

But I can't bear Zhang Lingyang's reading ability is not bad, and he can naturally distinguish the quality of the content of the test paper.

It is also because of this that Zhang Lingyang has such a big anger.

For a while, the heart cultivation hall was as quiet as a cicada, and no one dared to make a sound.

With a long sigh, Zhang Lingyang sat back at his desk and flipped through the test papers, trying to find a few fairly good test papers from them.

Of course, this time I didn't flip through it casually, but read it one by one according to the list of candidates listed by Li Guangtai.

The first place is undoubtedly Zhu Yang, a son from southern Henan.

For Zhu Yang's test papers, Zhang Lingyang is also extremely satisfied.

Therefore, Zhang Lingyang read Zhu Yang's test paper again, and ordered Sun Sheng to turn over the test paper of Zhou Chang, the second placer, to read it.

Since the beginning of the dynasty, the holy monarch and the scholars have ruled the world together......

The meaning of the article is nothing more than that the Great Zhou Dynasty was governed by the king and the gentry together. Although it is said that the treasury is now unable to make ends meet, the world is becoming more and more peaceful. Your Majesty, you only need to hang the arch and sit on top of the temple, and leave the rest to the gentry below......

Looking at the content on the test paper, Zhang Lingyang couldn't wait to paste a handful of mud on Zhou Chang's face.

But to be honest, this article is well written and brilliantly written.

But the ass was completely crooked to the side of the gentry.

Zhang Lingyang firmly believes that once a talented person like Zhou Chang grows up, he will definitely become a stumbling block to Da Zhou's progress in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Lingyang wanted to cross out Zhou Chang's name from the list.

As soon as he picked up the pen, Zhang Lingyang changed his mind again.

With a twitch of the corners of his mouth, a meaningful smile appeared on Zhang Lingyang's face, and he put down the pen and continued to flip through the test papers behind.

After flipping through the test papers for a while, Zhang Lingyang really had no desire to read it.

Getting up and moving his body, Zhang Lingyang turned to look at Li Guangtai and said, "Let's announce it according to the list listed by Li Aiqing!" ”

"Obey the order!"

After the examination, it is naturally the temple examination.

After passing the palace examination, these scholars became jinshi and then became officials.

As for the topic of the palace exam, Zhang Lingyang has also thought about it.

Zhang Lingyang has already made up his mind in his heart, and in the future, the imperial examination will no longer use the eight strands of literature to take scholars.

Therefore, the questions of the next temple examination are also related to practice.

Otherwise, the admissions are all nerds who only know what to do, and sooner or later the big week will be pilled!

Perhaps it was because of the surprise attack of the general examination, all the scholars were already mentally prepared, and the answers to the questions of the palace examination were obviously better than those of the examination.

But it's only better.

The vast majority of the test papers are still extremely empty, just covered up with some flowery rhetoric.

Of the 238 candidates who participated in the palace examination, Zhang Lingyang only pointed out 89 of them before he put pen to paper.

Facing Li Guangtai, Zhang Lingyang said: "Just order these eighty-nine people to be Jinshi!" ”

Hearing this, Li Guangtai couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Your Majesty, what about the rest of the scholars?" ”

Zhang Lingyang smiled lightly and said, "Naturally, I was defeated!" ”

"Li Aiqing, you have to remember that in the future, the imperial court will select talents in line with the principle of preferring shortage to abundance!"

"It's just ......" Li Guangtai hesitated for a moment and said: "It's just Your Majesty, in previous years, the imperial court had to select about 300 scholars to enter the court as officials, but recently, Your Majesty, you only selected less than one-third of them, I am afraid that the scholars will have opinions." ”

"Li Aiqing is too worried, those gentlemen, what opinions can they have?" Zhang Lingyang said disapprenosingly, "It's so decided, Li Aiqing doesn't need to persuade again!" ”

"Then the old minister dares to ask Your Majesty, this time you are a first-class Jinshi, does Your Majesty have a favorite candidate?" Li Guangtai asked again.

"Naturally, it's Zhou Chang, Zhu Yang, and Li Tai!"

The corners of Zhang Lingyang's mouth flashed with a smile again, and he said: "Zhou Chang is the champion, Li Tai is the leader, and Zhu Yang is the flower." ”

And Li Tai is a Jiangsu scholar, and his ass is also on the side of the gentry.

Zhang Lingyang said again: "Zhou Chang and Li Tai entered the Hanlin Academy for revision, as for Zhu Yang'......"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Lingyang said: "I see that this Zhu Yang has some ability, so let him go to Yangzhou to be a salt department lifter!" ”

Hearing this, Li Guangtai couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Guangtai couldn't understand why Zhang Lingyang had such an exam question, why he still selected Zhou Chang and Li Tai to enter the Hanlin Academy. And Zhu Yang, who stood on the side of the imperial court, was released as the salt department to lift the division.

For a while, Li Guangtai's mind was a little confused.

Seeing Li Guangtai's confused look, Zhang Lingyang just chuckled and did not give any explanation.

In fact, in Zhang Lingyang's heart, as long as the scholars who enter the Hanlin Academy, it can be said that they have been sentenced to death.

In other words, Zhang Lingyang plans to let Zhou Chang and Li Tai cultivate books for a lifetime in the Hanlin Academy.

As for Zhu Yang, who he is optimistic about, he naturally has to let him have more experience in the local area, so that he can reuse it in the future!

However, no one knows all this except Zhang Lingyang himself.

After all, in the eyes of Li Guangtai and others, as long as they are selected for the Hanlin Academy, it is not impossible for them to enter the cabinet in the future when they have enough qualifications.

But he didn't know that from beginning to end, Zhang Lingyang did not plan to promote important ministers of the court from the Hanlin Academy.

Besides, the reason for this arrangement is that Zhang Lingyang naturally made a decision after careful consideration.

It is said that the gun shoots the first bird, if Zhang Lingyang points Zhu Yang, who is standing on the opposite side of the gentry this time, as the champion, then Zhu Yang will definitely face great pressure in the future.

And now it's just right, although Tanhua is not as beautiful as the champion, but it is also in the first class, which is not so eye-catching.

In this way, invisibly, it added a protective net to Zhu Yang.

Moreover, Zhang Lingyang only tested the gentry's reaction through this Enke, and did not decide to reform the maladministration now.

After all, there are still too few people on my side to support it.

Zhang Lingyang has to wait until a suitable time, and after everything is arranged, he will make a decision in one fell swoop......
