139, there is no need for students who only read books and do not ask about the world
"Lord Wang, do you think that student can pass the exam?" Several officials immediately stepped forward and said to Chen Chen as soon as the students entered the venue. (8) (1) Chinese Netβ‘. οΌβ
"These guys don't have long eyes." Wu Kexin saw that his subordinates had the audacity to ask the prince about the exam, and he only felt a burst of fear at the moment, eager to shoot this group of guys who didn't have long eyes.
Chen Chen pretended to be puzzled and said: "The exam results haven't come out yet, and this king really can't see who is excellent!" β
"Lord Wang, take a look, this is the results of the township test and county test for these students that we counted, please take a look." When an official heard this, he hurriedly took out a stack of papers and handed it to Chen Chen.
Wu Kexin's face turned green when he was angry, and he was about to rush up and give this guy who didn't have long eyes a few slaps, Qin Ruhai and Shangguan Yu hurriedly grabbed him and shook their heads: "Don't go over, although it's your person, but you didn't participate, the prince knows it." β
And Chen Chen looked at the results at the moment, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's really amazing, Yuncheng is actually the first in Dongshui, this result has left others behind." β
"That's natural, in order to share the worries of the prince, the minister has been teaching him well." The official hurriedly said flatteringly.
"Well, it's hard for you, come on, remove his official position and demote him to a civilian, a small official dares to blatantly interfere with the exam, pull it down." Chen Chen waved his hand coldly, and at the same time, his gaze swept fiercely over the others.
The soldier quickly pulled the official down, Chen Chen smiled slightly and said to the pale Wu Kexin: "This person is Lord Wu's person, but why did he frame his boss?" It seems that Lord Wu, you have offended a lot of people, and the other party actually bought your men to frame you, think about it when you go back. β
"Yes, lord." Wu Kexin let out a sigh of relief, and at the same time made up his mind to reshuffle his subordinates, otherwise he didn't know how he died.
Chen Chen ordered people to put wine, food and meat on the table to drink with hundreds of officials, waiting for the end of the exam.
Time passed quickly, and the students all entered the venue happily, but at this moment they left the venue in great dejection, and everyone's faces were pale, as if they had experienced a life-and-death battle.
"Brother Ouyang, how did you answer?"
"Alas, don't mention it, the first five questions are answered well, but the last five questions are too difficult, so I have to answer some of them reluctantly."
"What kind of topics are they, I just don't want people to go to high school, how can the prince be so despicable."
"Brother Ren's words are wrong, the next five questions are what we will face as officials in the future, the prince just came out in advance, don't talk nonsense, insult the prince, according to the law of Dongshui, it is to be asked."
"Bah, I didn't say anything!"
After a while, the invigilator handed over the test paper to Chen Chen, looking at the thick test paper, Chen Chen only felt that he was about to commit embarrassing cancer.
"Lord Wu, tonight I led the university to start revising the papers, and the first five questions with outstanding results were sent to this king, and at the same time, the answers in the front questions were average but the back was full, so I also sent them. As for those who answer badly or have blanks, they are simply discarded. Chen Chen read the first test paper and quickly gave Wu Kexin the selection criteria.
Wu Kexin nodded, immediately ordered someone to collect the test papers, and escorted him straight to the university mansion with heavy troops.
Chen Chen talked with Ye's mother in the Zuimenglou for a while, and after learning about the situation in the Zuimenglou, he also returned to the palace.
The next day, the university sent the screened test papers, and Chen Chen spent another three days correcting the test papers, and the list of merit-based admissions was finally announced.
"The list was announced, but I didn't expect it to be me."
"Unexpected joy, mother, you see me."
"Why not me?"
After the list was announced, all the students felt bitter or joyful, and some students hit the wall directly on the spot because they did not have high school; Some students are willing to fall because they didn't win, and they eat and drink directly in the inn; Some were even happier and committed suicide directly at the gate of the palace.
For a time, Dongshui gave birth to several tragic cases of students committing suicide because they failed the exam, and Dongshui Dali Temple dealt with several sudden incidents in a row, which caught Chen Chen off guard.
For this reason, Chen Chen had to gather all the students together, looking at their lost souls, Chen Chen was also helpless: "My brothers, don't you persecute this king, okay?" This king really wants to admit everyone, but you can't do it yourself. β
"Lord, I am familiar with the classics, my friend does not read the classics as well as me, why did he win and I didn't."
Chen Chen looked at the young man, smiled slightly, and said, "That's right, your book is good, and you answered the first five questions very well, but you know how well you answer later." The first question asks you, what do you think of business exhibitions? You actually replied that you must suppress merchants, encourage agriculture, and advocate emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce. β
"I ......" the young man was speechless for a while.
Chen Chen sneered: "Our Dongshui is mostly hilly and mountainous, and there is no large area of land for agriculture at all, what about you?" All you answered were rigid theories in the book, and you didn't have any opinions of your own, a nerd who only reads the books of sages and doesn't ask about the affairs of the world, how can this king hand over Dongshui to you? What skills do you have to come to Dongshui to be an official? β
Chen Chen's words were like nails wedged into the hearts of young people, and the self-esteem of the scholar was not held back at once, and he cried bitterly on the spot, not looking like an adult at all.
"This king sees that you are also a married person, and the children must be able to play soy sauce, why don't you care about your wife and children well, you are not suitable to be an official, but it is suitable to be a gentleman, this king is all he says, it is up to you to listen or not, of course, if you have to fight to death on the road to become an official, this king has nothing to say." Chen Chen looked at a big man crying and had a headache, he didn't say anything ugly, this is too glassy.
After spending a lot of saliva to deal with the problems of the students, Chen Chen returned to the palace out of breath and drank several bowls of water in a row, it seems that it is not so easy to be a lobbyist to others.
"Come on, tell the selected students that tomorrow they will be concentrated in the Zuimenglou Square, and at the same time tell Commander Wei to be responsible for public security issues." Chen Chen relieved his breath and gave an order to his entourage.
The entourage led the order to go down quickly to convey the will of the prince, Chen Chen returned to the room after eating and fell asleep, he was really tired of the exam in the past few days, and he had to prepare for the final selection tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
