Zhu Pingjin walked around the Imperial City Dam for a long time, and then returned to the high Duanli Gate Tower.

Master Shu was waiting under Li Sixian's waiting, sitting in the shadow of the city tower and drinking tea. The old master, who was supposed to be "good and good, I will be old for the rest of my life", was restless.

Seeing Zhu Pingjin coming back, Master Shu didn't wait for him to finish the ceremony of teacher and student, so he grabbed him and said, I wanted to go to the Huangcheng Dam to meet the candidates. Seeing this, Li Sixian hurriedly came over to explain, it turned out that he had also gone out to investigate in disguise just now, but he found that the scholars had a heated debate about the content of the third exam.

In the third exam, Master Shu was originally named "Policy Theory", but it was changed to "Shen Theory" by Zhu Pingjin. It's true that he has a bit of a bad taste in his previous life, but Zhu Pingjin's main concern is that he can't repeat the name of the middle strategy of the imperial examination, so as not to be accused of Zhu Pingjin's ill-intentioned intentions and disobedience.

The name of the exam has changed, has the connotation changed?

Of course there are changes.

Although there is no ranking in the Shu examination. But since it is the last one, according to the practice of the imperial examination, the ranking will be determined. It is a matter of ranking, and it is naturally a big thing.

The word Shen also sparked heated discussions on the Imperial City Dam. The pros and cons are debating each other and not giving in to each other.

Under the stone plaque of the Huangchengba special post of various lists, the voices of people are boiling and the excitement is extraordinary.

While they were arguing, a sharp-eyed scholar suddenly pointed to the door and shouted. Everyone looked intently, and it turned out to be an official sedan chair coming out of the palace and crossing the Jinshui Bridge.

In front of the sedan chair, a young eunuch with his hand on the dust led the way, and behind him, there were more than a dozen palace guards armed with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and golden bones.

Or the weather is too hot, the official sedan chair has removed the curtains on all sides and turned into a covered sedan chair. On the sedan chair sat an old man with a thin and slender beard and white hair, walking in a green robe, looking majestic and kind, looking awe-inspiring from afar, and looking at it up close, like a respected old comrade.

Isn't that Master Shu from the Shu Palace? The chief examiner of this Shu exam!

The scholars were noisy, pushing, carrying half of the hem of their robes, and flocked to the official sedan chair.

……

The little eunuch shouted to the scholars with a sharp voice: "By the will of the prince: the selection of copywriters in the palace is not a code for the imperial court to pick talents, so there is no need to follow the old rules of the imperial examination, everything is done according to the rules of the palace!" This time, the recruitment of copywriting is done, and the students are diligently seeking results. The prince sympathizes with you, and is afraid that you are not familiar with the rules and delay your learning, so he personally invited his master, Mr. Shu, to meet you in this imperial city. If you have a question, Mr. Shu can answer it! ”

Zhu Pingjian, who was sandwiched among the guards, wore an ordinary guard uniform. In order not to be recognized, he covered his face with a piece of silk cloth.

On a hot day, the face is covered with a cloth, is there a flower on the face? Zhu Pingjin met the curious eyes of others, calmly.

With so many guards here, which scholar dares to pull his face cloth? If you don't tear it off, there will be no truth. If there is no truth, then please speculate.

Li Sixian's opening remarks were generous, decent, and clear and clear. It not only points out the intention, but also emphasizes the difference between the palace recruitment examination and the imperial court examination. After so many things in the past six months, this little eunuch has also been trained. Over time, it will also become a great help to the Shu Palace.

The people around you are different from the people who do things outside, and loyalty and reliability are the first requirements. Eunuchs have been clean since childhood, and they have no worries. Growing up in the palace since childhood, he knows the roots, of course, it is easier to use than those scholars outside the palace who have complex relationships and a lot of thoughts. Emperors of all dynasties have used eunuchs by their side, and there is always a reason for that.

Are they all fools?

……

Seeing the chief examiner of the Shu exam, the scholars who were blushing like roosters just now quickly recovered their polite appearance, and their manners were very appropriate. A scholar first gave a gift to the younger generation to see Master Shu, and then he asked a question. His question was the most hotly debated argument just now.

"Shizi Dao," Master Shu opened his mouth and pointed out the real examiner of this Shu exam, "Applicant, make a statement, make a defense, and declare; Commentators, arguments, arguments, arguments. Argument is to state a point of view, explain the reason, and draw a conclusion on a matter. Strategists, the major affairs of the country, also offer advice to the monarch's court, which is the so-called 'speaking for the saint'. The palace chooses people to do things for the palace. According to the rules of the imperial court, the palace does not tin soil, does not come to the people, and does not govern affairs, so the argument naturally cannot be compared with the policy theory. ”

Even in front of the examiner, the crowd buzzed. There was a sigh in the midst of this buzz.

"However, you may not underestimate Shen Yi!" Master Shu changed his words.

"Although the domain of the Shu Wangfu is small, it is also a province! There are thousands of Wangzhuang Wangdian, all over the province's prefectures, prefectures and counties, and there are hundreds of thousands of servant tenants in the house, and the population is not inferior to that of a large prefecture. There are also thousands of elite soldiers on the left side of the palace given by Taizu himself, calming down the place and the center of the screen!

The sage cloud, see the subtle knowledge. Recently, I have also heard that the Qi family rules the country and the world, and the old man thinks it is true. If the palace is still untreated, how can he help the king?

The prince of the world said that for those who commentate, the investigation of the disadvantages must be meticulous and detailed, and they must not be generalized; The reason of words and deeds must be well-founded, and there must be no lies; The journey must be rigorous and thoughtful, and not blindly moved. It's called ......"

Master Shu obviously forgot the words, and the little eunuch beside him hurriedly handed it over and whispered. Only then did Master Shu continue his words: "Shizi Dao, this is called operable!" ”

The scholar who asked the question probably wanted to ask in detail what it meant to be "operational", but the little eunuch's dust had already ordered another scholar who was eager to ask questions. He had no choice but to back down and give up the qualification to be questioned.

This time it was the old gentleman with a long goatee who was questioned. He first introduced himself as Shi Yaoxian, the word is ancestor, and then bluntly asked why the palace had to take a geography test in the "skills", and mathematics and line drawing were inexplicably added to the geography subject.

……

This question made Zhu Pingjin a little nervous. Master Shu volunteered to be the temporary press spokesperson. How to face the scholar's question, Zhu Pingjin did not talk to him.

Master Shu's level of knowledge is fine, but if he wants to speak in public, whether he will make a mistake is not sure Zhu Pingjin is not sure. What's more, this so-called geography department is completely a nonsense. Zhu Pingjin's real purpose was to recruit officers, including training staff officers, logistics staff officers, command officers, and political workers. Zhu Pingjin has always been careful to develop his military strength within the system, so he set up two teams of commercial villages. Once Master Shu accidentally pierced this layer of window paper, there were so many scholars here, mixed with a few spies from the inspector and even the East Factory, to report Master Shu's nonsense. Master Shu is unlucky, not to mention, it may also affect Zhu Pingjian. Now that the matter over there in Luzhou is over, if there is one more thing, then Zhu Pingjin will be attacked on both sides.

Master Shu also hesitated. He was considering whether to tell the students the true purpose of the exam. But soon, he made up his mind.

The real purpose can't be concealed, but now it's covered, and it will be even worse if it starts up again the next day when the personnel are assigned units.

Instead of sneaking around, it is better to be upright and bright, and make it clear to them now, if you want to come, you will come, and if you don't want to come, please come back, so as not to regret it in the future.

"Geography is a subject, when in the geography of mountains and rivers in Shudi. But the old man thinks that the study of geography focuses on practicality. What is practicality? ”

Master Shu coughed lightly and glanced at the crowd majestically. It wasn't until he felt everyone's eyes on his face that he spoke:

"Used in the battle array to protect the country and the people!"

Coax! As Zhu Pingjin expected, the scholars suddenly exploded. For a while, there was everything.

Zhu Pingjin's face turned pale, and his hands trembled a little.

Unexpectedly, he had worked hard and had no last resort, and he was like an old shark hidden in the deep sea for half a year, but he was once destroyed by Shu Lao'er's big mouth.

It is the success and the defeat of the Xiao He! The Shu family once gave Zhu Pingjin great help, but now they want to take Zhu Pingjin into the abyss of destruction!

Thinking of this, Zhu Pingjin couldn't wait to pick up the sledgehammer of the gourd, and flattened Shu Lao'er's papaya head with a hammer.

Master Shu, the first culprit and main culprit of the accident, didn't expect that there was a pre-murder criminal behind him who could break out at any time.

He was surprisingly complacent about himself and felt so good about himself. When the noise of the crowd subsided, he began to talk again.

He first gave an example of why it is necessary to select military talents who are familiar with the geography of Shuzhong, and the example starts with the sacrifice of thieves into Sichuan last year.

Yang Sichang drove the thieves into Sichuan, thinking that he could rely on the dangerous places on all sides of Shuzhong to trap the thieves and gather and annihilate them.

The result?

Before the thieves entered Sichuan, they had already sent spies to infiltrate Shuzhong, and bribed the thieves in Shuzhong as their internal response, and they had already known the defense pass of Shuzhong City. On the contrary, most of the officers and soldiers pursued were the guest troops of Chu and Qin Feng, and they were not as familiar with the terrain in Shuzhong as thieves.

Master Shu gave two quite specific examples of this.

First, Yang Sichang only knew how to send troops to blindly chase after him, but he didn't know the danger of Shu, and the danger was in the pass. As long as you hold the pass and send troops to chase after you, you can let the thieves come and go.

The second is Yang Sichang's staff officer Wan Yuanji, he saw the thieves attacking Luzhou, thinking that there was an opportunity, so he set up an ambush at the standing stone station in the northeast of Luzhou, thinking that the thieves could be wiped out. However, the thief had already figured out the terrain near Luzhou. They did not go to the Standing Stone Station at all, but traced the Yangtze River up the river and took Nanxi in the north of the river, which not only put the ambush troops of the Standing Stone Station in a useless place, but also left all the officers and soldiers who were swarming and chasing far behind!

"Soldiers, the place of death and death, must not be ignored!" Master Shu concluded with a famous sentence from Sun Tzu's Art of War, "The time, the place, and the people are all indispensable." I am the virtuous king of Shudi, and I can appear one after another. The whole Sichuan is politically harmonious, and the people are simple.

The time, the people are unique to me! There is only one advantageous location, and there are many shortcomings!

The palace recruits talents in geography this time, which is not too late! ”

Just because Master Shu feels good about himself doesn't mean that the people who are listening to the lecture feel good too.

Mr. Shi, who asked the question, was stunned and stunned. No wonder the treatment given by the palace is so generous, it turns out that this is the money to buy your life.

He didn't want to ask anything more, just arched his hand to Master Shu, turned around and left silently. Seeing that the old gentleman was gone, the crowd dispersed for the most part.

Finished!

Zhu Pingjin, who was dressed in disguise, was cold from head to toe.

It is very likely that no one has been recruited, and the political ambitions have been exposed!
