Since last year, after Li Yu put down the rebellion of the remnants of Goguryeo in Andong and defeated the Silla army, he has thrown all the military and political officials who lost the city and land and participated in the rebellion to the end of the Goguryeo people. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info either took it down and beheaded it or fled, or was degraded to a commoner or a slave laborer.

As a result, there was a shortage of military and political officials in the prefecture and county of the Andong Prefecture, and they were not allowed to serve as generals who guarded the local area.

Zhang Wengxi returned to Beijing last year to report the victory, and the propaganda along the way attracted the first batch of scholars and literati who sought official positions, and Li Yu had to carefully examine their ability to serve the government, so as not to have people who fished in troubled waters.

Although Li Yu's subordinates lacked some officials to govern the locality, not everyone wanted it, so there was an official examination for Anton.

Special Commander Shi Li Element and Sima Xue Jun presided over the official selection examination, and the test questions tested the candidates' political ability and literary ability, so as to award officials according to their talents.

Li Yu has seen the test questions issued by Li Yuan and others, which are five test questions on how to govern the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, covering Anton's politics, economy, law, military, government affairs, and Cao Yun, which is based on the content of the examination of the imperial examination and the Jinshi Sect.

There are also five questions for the examination of the scriptures (fill in the blanks) and Moyi (simple annotations on the words and phrases of the scriptures), and the candidates are the nine scriptures of the Ming Jing scientific examination - "The Book of Rites", "Zuo Chuan", "Book of Songs", "Zhou Li", "Rites", "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "The Legend of the Ram", and "The Legend of Gu Liang".

Li Yujue's ten questions were not enough to test the ability of the candidates, after all, the Metropolitan Protectorate did not completely recruit local officials, but also had to recruit professionals. Li Yu's requirements for officials are not just the current magistrates, you must know arithmetic and assault adaptability!

Therefore, in the exam questions, he personally came up with five current policy issues for the resettlement of Andong disaster victims, local governance, and emergency handling; There are also five arithmetic questions, which are based on the level of mathematical development in the Tang Dynasty, and test the candidate's ability to calculate!

In addition, Li Yu also asked the candidates to take a martial arts test after taking the pen and ink test.

After all, the current situation in Andong is not very stable, and from time to time, the remnants of Goguryeo who are not satisfied with the Tang Dynasty have colluded with the rebellion of the Taya people in the northeast, although it is not enough to become a momentum, but as a local state and county official who was suddenly attacked by the enemy, he must have the ability to hold the city with swords and guns, and wait for reinforcements!

What's more, there is also Silla eyeing the enemy, secretly supporting the remnants of Goguryeo to rebel against the Tatar people in the territory.

After reading the test questions finalized by Li Yu, Li Yuan had no objection to the martial arts test, and proposed to Li Yu to increase the interview to test his ability.

After the Tang Dynasty Imperial Examination ascended to the top, one of the official selection examinations of the Ministry of Officials was interviewed. In fact, it mainly depends on whether his appearance is upright and magnificent; Whether the language is clear and coherent.

In this regard, Li Yu is also supportive.

On the notice board in front of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, several small officials posted notices on the Metropolitan Protectorate Election Examination.

Gather in front of the gate of the Imperial Protectorate to prepare to send a dry message (In order to seek a chance to enter, ancient literati often wrote some dry poems to send to the powerful very implicitly, showing their hearts in twists and turns.) The scholars and literati who visited the king of Yan and recommended him all gathered under the notice board.

I saw that the notice said that the Metropolitan Protectorate would conduct a selection test for the talents who came to apply for official positions in the courtyard in front of the Zhaoyun Hall in the palace three days later. The selection test is divided into three tests, the first day is the pen and ink test, the second day is the interview, and the third day is the martial arts test. Those who participate in the official selection examination should register at the Metropolitan Protectorate three days after tomorrow to receive the admission examination number.

The literati who watched the pen and ink test and the interview still understood that the imperial examination was not just pen and ink? After passing the imperial examination, he will participate in the official selection examination of the Ministry of Officials: one is called the body, and the appearance is correct and magnificent; Second, it refers to the clear and coherent language; That is, the interview.

"We're here to ask for a magistrate, not to put pen to paper, how can we add martial arts to the selection test of the Metropolitan Protectorate? Besides, the imperial examination does not test martial arts. ”

Onlookers talked a lot and were quite puzzled by the move of the Metropolitan Protectorate. Although the Tang Dynasty did not distinguish between civil and military, the governance of local areas was generally civilian, and the military generals served in the places where they held the position of governor in charge of the local military.

"Maybe it's Anton Xinding, and the Metropolitan Protectorate considers that the place is not quiet, and we need to wait for martial arts to ensure the safety of the people." Genius guessed.

"But I have read hundreds of books from Zhuzi to adulthood, and I have never even held a pig-killing knife, how can I be good?" Immediately, many scholars and literati cried and said with sad faces.

"It's okay if you don't know martial arts! Isn't it clearly written on the notice? The Metropolitan Protectorate set the pen and ink at 60 points, and the interview and martial arts at 20 points each. Those with a total score of 60 points can be directly conferred on the official, and those with a total score of less than 60 points will be awarded according to their proficient talents. Those who don't know it will be given the rank of sergeant! Someone pointed to the sign and reminded that when it came to those who didn't understand it, they were given the rank of sergeant, and they couldn't stop laughing.

"Hahaha! Metropolitan Protector is really making the best use of the candidates! Are we still worried that we won't be able to get an official? ”

"Isn't it true that those who don't know it are also recruited as sergeants!"

A group of literati laughed in front of the bulletin board and rushed to Anton to seek office, and they were a little bold in their chests. How did you end up being a sergeant?

And less than a hundred years after the end of the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the end of the Sui Dynasty, the martial arts were still flourishing. Some wealthy families in the north and the children of the slightly wealthy families generally practice martial arts, and the family has ancestral swords, bows and arrows.

At least half of the literati are equipped with swords, and they don't care about testing martial arts, and they can't be officials or generals. Anton has a lot of wars, and he can also get military merit and promotion.

Three days later, in the courtyard in front of the Zhaoyun Palace, which was also the residence of King Yan, 455 bookcases and couches were placed in the courtyard in front of the Zhaoyun Palace, which was rebuilt from the original Goguryeo Palace, and the pen and ink were matched.

The names of the test takers who will be sitting there are on the bookcase.

The literati who had come to take the examination entered the courtyard after being searched by the guards, and when they signed up for the examination three days before the examination, they found the seat with the examination number and their own name attached to it from the examination number distributed by the officials of the Imperial Protectorate.

As the chief examiner, Li Yuan stood in front of the Zhaoyun Palace, and the eight-meter-high steps just overlooked the entire courtyard in front of the hall.

"Anton Xinding is at the time of employment. You have come to Pyongyang thousands of miles away, presumably to put what you have learned and to serve the country. will not waste the years, Lu Lu has nothing to do with this life. ”

"My Li Element is specially ordered by His Royal Highness the Protector of the Anton Metropolitan Protector and King Yan to preside over the trial of Anton's selection of talents, and select the talents to settle ......Anton for my Tang Dynasty."

"The time is coming, the exam will begin!"

"Boom!"

With a bang, Li Yuan nodded, and more than 30 officials distributed the test papers.

After the scholars and literati who took the exam got the test papers, they were quite curious about the test papers.

More than half of the candidates who came to take the imperial examination had participated in the imperial examination, and they had never printed all the examination questions on a paper roll, and they only needed to answer the questions below the questions on the paper roll.

If anyone takes a look, they will exclaim: Isn't this the same as the college entrance examination paper?

After getting the test papers, the literati who took the exam were curious, and they wrote urgently, expressing their own measures for the political side, and expressing their opinions and suggestions on Anton's current problems.

In the examination room, the invigilator looks back and forth to prevent anyone from cheating.

Xue Jun, who was the deputy examiner, looked at it, sat next to Li Yuanyuan and said with a smile: "There are really a few talented people among these more than 400 people, who have good writing and ideas. Your Highness should be happy this time. ”

Li Yuan touched his beard and said with a smile: "Those who have come all the way to Anton, there is no shortage of people with lofty ideals......
