The official Zhao Zhen also knows something about Wang Gongchen, and the reason why he uses Wang Gongchen as the main exam for this subject is that he really does not plan to eliminate all the "Taixue style" in this subject. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this "Taixue style" is also deep-rooted, and it is indeed difficult to clear it up at one time. This kind of thing is not a trivial matter, and if it is not done well, it will be written with a big shock, so there needs to be a gradual process.

Zhao Zhen used Wang Gongchen as the main exam in this subject, which is to do a test and foreshadowing! Let the candidates understand that in the future, the imperial court will attach great importance to the strategy, and there is no need to use the "Taixue style" to take the exam!

When this cognition is popularized, then the next subject is the time to purge this "Taixue style".

In fact, Zhao Zhen had long expected that Wang Gongchen would definitely adopt a more compromise method, so Wang Gongchen would be used as the main test for this subject. It has been 30 years since the official family was on the throne, and it has been 20 years since he was in power, and the art of the emperor and the art of employing people can be regarded as perfect, and he now knows what kind of people he uses for everything.

Of course, in fact, Wang Gongchen actually understands this kind of thing! Wang Gongchen also figured out the meaning of the official family more accurately.

Over the years, Wang Gongchen's style of acting has changed a lot, he is less young and flamboyant, and he is very respectful to the officials, and rarely sprays with the officials at every turn to other courtiers! It is precisely because of this that Wang Gongchen has not made any political achievements over the years, but his holy favor has become stronger and stronger.

The official's requirements for this subject, Wang Gongchen still implemented it relatively well.

The government's general requirements for scientific research are easier to handle! Before starting to mark the papers, Wang Gongchen said that as long as the deputy examiners and the marking officers have no objections, this is considered to be completed.

But after the official family talked about those general things with Wang Gongchen that day, he also talked about this policy examination topic, although the official family did not say it explicitly, but he talked to Wang Gongchen about the situation in Song Xia today, as well as the matter of governing the river now.

Wang Gongchen has never been to the northwest, to be honest, he only knows a little about the situation in the Song and Xia, and when the court discussed the strategy for Xia in the past, he kept his mouth shut, so as not to show timidity. No way, who let him not go to the Northwest Meridian to skip it! No matter how well he says it, no matter how many ways he does, people say, have you ever been to the northwest? If you haven't been there, you're just talking on paper, and it's not feasible at all!

Wang Gongchen naturally knew that the official family had never been to the northwest, and he didn't know much about the situation in Song and Xia, and he had never talked to him before.

As for this river, the imperial court has been arguing back and forth around the "Liuta River Diversion" for several years in recent years, but Wang Gongchen has never beaked, because he also doesn't understand! And now he is also smart, he just blindly hugs the thighs of the officials, and does not participate in the battles of the courtiers in the court.

In the same way, the official family and he, a person who does not know how to govern the river, discussed this river governance, and it was before the provincial examination began, and the meaning was self-evident.

Obviously, the official didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was obvious, he wanted to ask the candidates in this subject, and what he wanted to ask was naturally about Xia strategy and river control measures! Although it is estimated that the candidates will not be able to put forward many constructive suggestions, they can be regarded as brainstorming.

This kind of thing will not be said by the officials, and the courtiers need to figure it out. The courtiers who figure out the right will naturally be more concise in the emperor's heart in the future, and if they figure out the wrong ones, they will probably gradually lose their favor in the official family.

Wang Gongchen is a smart person, and over the years, he has hugged the thighs of the official family tightly, and it is naturally no difficulty to figure out his holy will.

In addition to these, when the official family talked about the strategy against Xia that day, he also deliberately talked to Wang Gongchen about a small matter.

This is about a young scholar named Zhong Hao, who is said to be taking the hall lock test this time. The official said that this candidate had proposed a brand-new direction of "opening up the river" for Xia Raiders, which was very intentional and suited his appetite.

The official Zhao Zhen just casually mentioned this little matter, but he didn't say anything else.

Of course, Wang Gongchen is a smart person, and he naturally knows that in the important performance before the start of the provincial examination, it is impossible for the official family to talk about an inconsequential trivial matter for no reason.

Obviously, the candidate in the mouth of the official family has already been in the emperor's heart, so he must hope that this candidate can pass the exam, so naturally Wang Gongchen needs to worry about the king.

Then he needs to find out the candidate's test paper and get him right.

This is still very difficult.

After Wang Gongchen finished playing with the official family, he was directly sent to the tribute courtyard, and then the tribute courtyard was locked, and he didn't even have a chance to let his subordinates inquire about the details of this Zhong Hao.

After the Gongyuan was locked down, Wang Gongchen couldn't help it, but after the lock of the courtyard and before the exam, when everyone was bored, the poems should be harmonious, and when Wang Fang made "Qingyu Case", someone mentioned this Zhong Hao.

Wang Gongchen deliberately asked a few more words, and some people said that his "Water Tune Song Head. When is the Bright Moon" and "The Qingyu Case. Yuan Xi is what he did.

This made Wang Gongchen feel a little at ease, such a talented man, if he was selected, he would definitely be more able to convince the public! If it is a candidate with no talent, if Wang Gongchen insists on winning, I am afraid that he will provoke a lot of criticism. The ethics of scholars and doctors in this era are still relatively upright. Since this candidate is very talented, it is beyond reproach to win, which makes Wang Gongchen feel a little at ease.

But it is still difficult to find out Zhong Hao's exam papers from these many exam papers and get them, and Wang Gongchen is still a little at a loss.

Wang Gongchen could only think that after he had no choice but to discuss Xia's strategy, he hoped that this Zhong Hao could mention the countermeasure of "opening up the river Huang" in the strategy, but he could also find his volume with this strategy of "opening up the river huang"!

Of course, even if he mentions the strategy of "opening up the river", it is very difficult to win him.

Let's not talk about this kind of Zhong Hao's scriptures and Moyi, which may not necessarily be passed! Even if this post and Moyi have passed, and there are examiners and deputy examiners in front of this examiner to review, this Zhong Hao's paper may not be able to be selected both times.

Wang Gongchen has been quite a headache about this matter in the past two days! Today, the papers of the locked hall test are about to be reviewed, and he still hasn't seen the test papers with the countermeasures of "opening up the river", and he can't help but feel a little anxious.

Wang Gongchen secretly made up his mind, after all the test papers in the locked hall were reviewed, and he had not seen any papers with the countermeasures of "opening up the river", he would try his best to make the places in the 120 locked hall tests unsatisfactory, and then let the public examiners take them again from the test papers that were knocked down.

At that time, Wang Gongchen was afraid that he would not care about any criticism, and he planned to tell everyone directly and clearly: This is not enough places, and the candidates' policies will be judged, and the more bright spots will be found to make up for it.

Of course, this may not be able to win this Zhong Hao, because even if it is clear, but the candidate's strategy may not necessarily be brilliant. And it is also possible that his scroll will be knocked down in which link of the Sutra and Moyi.

Wang Gongchen felt that this matter was really a little difficult to do, but he could only do his best, and he really couldn't win this candidate, and there was no way. If this Zhong Hao is defeated in the Tijing and Moyi links, then Wang Gongchen can only be helpless. He himself stipulates the standard of the scriptures and the Moyi to be selected, and he can't overturn it himself, right?!

In this era, the ethics of scholars are still relatively decent, and the sense of shame is still relatively strong, even if Wang Gongchen wants to cater to the official family, but he still can't do those things that are too shameless.

If it was because this candidate named Zhong Hao couldn't answer the paper, and he really couldn't get it in the end, Wang Gongchen felt that he could only go to the official family to say sorry! Although, it may cause the official family to be unwelcome, but there is no way.

However, Wang Gongchen still has a headache about this matter. He doesn't have any iron-clad friends in the court now, and the root of his foothold is the holy family of the official family, if he makes the official family unhappy, it is really not a good thing!

Fortunately, as soon as Sima Guang's paper was delivered, this headache for him could finally let him go, but no one knew the strategy of "opening up the river", and this exam paper of the locked hall test, just such a copy of the "opening up the river" strategy, then the matter is obvious, this paper is very likely to be done by this Zhong Hao.

And it is said that this candidate named Zhong Hao is good at filling in words, and it is said that this candidate has stayed in the northwest and has also gone south with the army to quell the rebellion, and the poem "Breaking the Array" in this volume's strategy about Jingbian Pingyu is quite consistent with him.

This poem "Breaking the Array" is not only written with great talent, but also generous and heroic, and it is as if it were written in the army, obviously this candidate has really been in the army, otherwise he would not have been able to write such a poem.

Therefore, this talent is extremely high, and he has been in the army, which is very in line with this Zhong Hao's identity.

Therefore, Wang Gongchen speculated that this paper was likely to be the candidate named Zhong Hao he was looking for.

Wang Gongchen saw that the last line of this volume wrote a strategy for governing the river, and he wrote it very well, and wrote a lot of specific methods.

Wang Gongchen looked at Sima Guang's meaning, and he was still very optimistic about this volume. In that case, there is a lot less trouble. If Zhong Hao's volume is not well written, but he has to take it, I am afraid that there will be more criticism. Although these examiners and deputy examiners are very polite to themselves now, they are never polite when they encounter things and should argue with reason, which is the backbone of the Great Song Wenchen.

Fortunately, now Sima Guang obviously attaches great importance to this volume, which has reduced a lot of trouble, and it has also made Wang Gongchen's heart scratch a little in the past few days, and he has completely settled down.

This volume is enough for Chinese style just by relying on these three strategies, and Wang Gongchen is naturally without pressure when he reads and takes it now.

Sima Guang saw that Wang was holding this paper and looking at it, but he was always distracted, and he couldn't help but be a little speechless on the side.

With this expression, do you think this volume is well done or bad? Hurry up and give me a word, why did the gods go out! When was that? Everyone still has to read the papers!

In the end, if you don't win, you quickly say it, if you don't win, I still have to argue with you!

In the end, Sima Guang saw that Wang Gongchen was holding the paper he recommended, and he didn't speak, but he just stared at himself there, and he couldn't help it, and couldn't help coughing lightly.

When Wang Gongchen heard this light cough, he couldn't help but come back to his senses leisurely, and couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed. Fortunately, his qi cultivation skills are profound, and he said without a trace at the moment: "Hehe, these strategies are so wonderfully written, and they have fascinated the official for a while." ”

When Wang Gongchen saw the word "Zhong" written by Sima Guang with a red pen, he paused, and said with a smile: "Junshi thinks this volume should be taken?" ”

Sima Guang arched his hand and said: "Back to the main exam, the lower official thinks that he should be selected." Although this volume is a bit mediocre in its writing, it is enough to win it with only these last three essays! ”

Wang Gongchen stroked his beard and smiled: "Well, this official feels the same way." Although this volume is full of poetry, the brilliance of this strategy is enough to cover up the shortcomings of its poetic shortcomings. What does Junshi think is the right ranking for this roll? ”

The ranking of this provincial examination is not of much significance compared to the palace examination. Because in the end, whether you are a Jinshi and a first, or a Jinshi background, or a fellow Jinshi background, is determined by the ranking of the palace examination.

However, the ranking of the provincial examination is naturally not useless, and candidates with good rankings in the provincial examination will naturally be able to achieve a good ranking in the palace examination more easily.

The provincial examination is also called the "don't head test", and its ranking is separate from the main examination, and the candidates who have taken this subject will be ranked uniformly in the palace examination.

There are only one hundred and twenty places in the first test, and it is obvious that this Wang Gongchen asked like this, so he naturally wanted to put this exam paper in the top ten. Because so far, Wang Gongchen is just selecting the top ten papers for this first attempt, and as for the other rankings, it is not too important.

Sima Guang actually guessed who the candidate for this exam was, he had a good impression of this candidate, and he was willing to get a good ranking. But he didn't know that Wang Gongchen actually knew, and Wang Gongchen also wanted to take him.

After all, the poems in this exam paper are really too bland, so Sima Guang is afraid that if he says something high, Wang Gongchen will not agree, in case it causes disgust, it will not be beautiful.

Therefore, Sima Guang pondered for a moment and said, "The lower officials think that it should be more fair to take the tenth, but what does the chief examiner think?" ”

Wang Gongchen said in his heart: Anyway, the ranking of this other test is not too important, since the official family mentioned this candidate, it is obviously very important to him, so it is better to simply give him a higher ranking. Sima Guang is also a well-known Wenzong, and he is full of praise for these strategies, even if he takes a higher one, he will definitely not be able to find fault with others.

At that moment, Wang Gongchen pondered for a while, and said: "Although the poems in this exam paper are mediocre, these three strategies are really outstanding, so it is better to mention him again and give him a fifth!" ”

Sima Guang originally saw that as soon as he said tenth, Wang Gongchen was silent, thinking that he thought that tenth was too high, but he didn't expect him to be too low. Sima Guang originally had a good impression of the candidates for this paper, but now that he saw that the paper he recommended was valued by the examiner, he took it high, which was enough to give him face. Sima Guangzi was very happy, and at that moment he bowed his hand to Wang Gongchen and said: "Well, then according to the main examiner, this strategy is indeed too brilliant, and it is pertinent to give a fifth!" ”
