"We have a virtuous monarch in the Nine Shades, and Xiao Sheng seems to see the future of the prosperity of the Nine Shades, a future that far surpasses the strength of the other four kingdoms." In the main hall, Liu Yi shouted loudly, making everyone slightly stunned.

Liu Xuan was also stunned, this Liu Yi said such words, this is obviously a compliment to his words, looking at Liu Yi's burning eyes, he couldn't help but feel numb in his heart, this Liu Yi really doesn't shy away from praising people.

"You're right, Jiuyou is indeed the weakest among the five major powers, but why do you say this, Jiuyou will surpass other countries in the future?" Liu Xuan smiled lightly and said with interest.

"Just because the emperor is a virtuous king, although Da Luo has a strong army, but the monarch of the court is extremely mediocre, there are many princes and forces inside, and they are not united." Liu Yi said calmly, "Da Yin is short-sighted, indecisive, and vulnerable; There are many corrupt officials in big business, and they are greedy for money, so there is no need to worry; Dahua is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no desire to compete for hegemony; And these four points, only the emperor and you do not have one of them, Gu Xiaosheng dared to say that within ten years, the world will return to the territory of the Nine Shadows. ”

Listening to Liu Yi's bold words, although there were many exaggerated and belittling meanings in the words, Liu Xuan could see from his eyes that he was more confident than ordinary people, but this person had the ability to be eloquent.

The ministers looked at Liu Yi, with a lot of disdain, such fanatics, they can only talk about it, what is Da Luo mediocre, Da Yin is short-sighted, Da Shang is corrupt, Dahua is weak, they have been in the dynasty for so many years, why don't they know this?

And if you want to talk about weakness and mediocrity, I'm afraid, there is only this little emperor of their Nine Shadows.

This Liu Yi's fart is really smooth, and he is so frustrated, so he has a good life.

Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Among the six departments, which one do you want to go to?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were stunned, and the students were shocked, it was the first time they heard that the students were allowed to choose their own officials.

Liu Yi was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Xuan to give him such treatment, he was happy at the moment, but he immediately regained his composure and said, "The officials are in charge of the world, it's boring; The Ministry of Rites is very boring; The household department manages the people's fertile land system, which is not challenging; The criminal department is in charge of legal prisoners, and they are not interested; The Ministry of Engineering is in charge of the world's water conservancy buildings, which is too comfortable; ”

Listening to Liu Yi's words, all the ministers were dissatisfied, and one of the ministers stood up, "Little scholar, how can you be so arrogant, in front of the emperor, you dare to pick and choose, you really don't know how thick the sky is." ”

After the minister finished speaking, he immediately bowed down to Liu Xuan and said, "Back to the emperor, this person is too arrogant and rude, and he is not worthy of the big responsibility, he will only slap the horse, and he will be arrogant, and it is really difficult for the ministers to be with him." ”

When the other ministers heard this, they whispered in agreement.

Liu Xuan looked at Liu Yi's indifferent expression, this person was indeed too arrogant, let him pick a department, he actually degraded the six departments of the hall to worthless.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Xuan smiled and said, "Since you can't look down on the six departments, you must be a person with grand ambitions, I don't know, among all the official positions under me, which one do you fancie?" ”

"Now in the troubled times, Xiaosheng can get the emperor's love, how can he live in peace and comfort in the six ministries, near Xiaosheng heard that the Western Daluo disturbed the realm for several months, and suffered heavy losses, as the people of the Nine Shadows, when he abandoned the pen to join the army, waved his army to the west, regained the dignity of the Nine Shadows, and removed this heart disease for the emperor." Liu Yi bowed and said.

"Arrogant, just because you are a little scholar, you dare to speak wildly, go west, and you can't hold the weapon steadily." As soon as they heard this, the military attachés couldn't sit still, Liu Yi was a literati, and it was ridiculous that he would say such nonsense to remove his heart for the emperor.

"Don't bother with it, Zhenyuan General Wei Qing has already gone to the west, I believe that good news will come soon, you little scholar, don't be delusional about leading troops." Another minister couldn't help but sarcastically.

Liu Yi smiled faintly and said, "Wei Qing is so happy, he is greedy for merit, he is just a reckless man, if he is allowed to go to the west this time, he will definitely be defeated." ”

As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Li De, who had been silent, stared at him, and his face was dissatisfied, Wei Qing was recommended by him to the emperor, and this Liu Yi's remarks were not slapping his old face.

At the moment, he said, "A hairy boy who doesn't understand the world, in front of the emperor, is rude, arrogant, and has no moderation, and the emperor lets you choose any position, so he thinks you are great?" It's really unbelievable! ”

When the ministers heard Li De, they couldn't help but speak out, and they immediately echoed it.

Liu Xuan's head suddenly became bigger, this Liu Yi's ability to provoke trouble is not covered.

After thinking about it, Liu Xuan said, "Your name is Liu Yi, right?" ”

"Xiaosheng Liu Yi, I have seen the emperor." Liu Yi bowed.

"Since you can't look down on any of the six departments, then go to the Hanlin Academy to take up a job first, wait for the report of the battle in the western realm to come, and see if you know." Liu Xuan replied with a smile on his face.

"Emperor Xie, long live the emperor, long live long live!" Liu Yi looked stunned and a little dissatisfied in his heart, but this was just a plan for both worlds, so he had no choice but to bow down and thank him.

In Liu Xuan's opinion, this Liu Yi is indeed a talented person, if it is really as he said, the Western War reported a fiasco, he doesn't mind really reusing Liu Yi, after all, Liu Yi is indeed arrogant, more arrogant than him, the emperor.

The reason why Li De is so angry, in addition to Liu Yi being ashamed to say bad things about Wei Qing, the most important point is military power.

With the army, it is equivalent to having military power, and having military power is equivalent to having status, this Wei Qing has 200,000 soldiers and horses in Jiuyou, if he wins a big victory, Li De's power in the court will be three points larger, if he is really defeated, for Li De, it is not painful, at most, it is a twist and turn, degrading himself or demoting himself, vacating the post of prime minister that no one dares to take over.

After selecting a few more students, everyone withdrew, and there were still two batches left, and Liu Xuan saw that Mo Shu was also among them.

At that time, Liu Xuan didn't know, but the ministers knew, after Xiao Zhuangzi explained in a low voice, Liu Xuan understood that this Mo Shu was the concubine of the princes of the Mo family in Dongzhou.

Mo Shu naturally recognized Liu Xuan, but he didn't expect that the 'Brother Liu' he met in the restaurant turned out to be the current saint, and he was shocked in his heart, but his face was calm.

All the theories on governing the country put forward by Liu Xuan were answered fluently and adapted, and were unanimously appreciated by all the ministers, and Liu Xuan naturally admired them.

In the end, after all the students had finished the examination, the ministers selected the three students who were most satisfied with them.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yi was too arrogant that none of the ministers recommended him.

In the end, under Liu Xuan's insistence, Liu Yi was set in second place.

The first champion, Mo Shu.

Second place on the list: Liu Yi.

Third place Tanhua: Kong Li
