Everything that happened in the imperial study seemed a bit mysterious, but in fact, this was a function that Wang Mang had recently discovered from the imperial study.

The imperial study is the first architectural artifact rewarded by the system to Wang Mang, and its function will naturally not be as simple as sitting and working, the essence of the imperial study is still a book.

As a system artifact, only books of great value have the value of being stored in the imperial study, to screen valuable works, with Wang Mang's strength is definitely not enough, Wang Mang's new discovery of the imperial study can have the ability to automatically clean up once a month.

And this ability to automatically clean up, as just now, valuable books will shine, the more valuable the light, the more valuable the light, the lighter, if there is no value at all, then there is no light at all.

And this kind of miraculous means, in the eyes of the ministers in the palace, seem to look at immortals!

Wang Mang looked at the expressions of the people in the hall, and his heart moved, but he suddenly remembered that there was still a divine object in his hand that was not used, and the noon gate construction token obtained by completing the task last time, Wang Mang had never had the opportunity to use it, and today seemed to be a good opportunity.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these volumes that have been screened out now are all more valuable volumes that I have discovered through the technique of looking at qi, and through this kind of technique of looking at qi, I can save a lot of time for reading the papers. Wang Mang said loudly: "Everyone, look at the paper to determine the ranking." ”

"Your Majesty, what about these scrolls?" Zhao Xin pointed to the scrolls that had been swept aside, those were all of them that had no light at all before, and there were dozens of copies.

Wang Mang glanced at Zhao Xin, and suddenly said, "Deng Fang, take two copies from that pile of rolls and give them to Zhao Shangshu!"

Zhao Xin's face turned pale, Wang Mang's words were quite unkind, Deng Fang didn't look at it, quickly took out two copies from the volume, handed them to Zhao Xin, and hummed: "Zhao Shangshu, please!"

Zhao Xin's face was paler, but as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Xin really didn't dare to really believe in the so-called means of hope of the Son of Heaven, and he couldn't give himself an explanation in his heart without taking a look.

Turning over the first test paper with a solemn face, Zhao Xin's face showed an incredible look, and then he threw the test paper on the ground fiercely and scolded: "I can't imagine that there are such wolf-hearted people in the world!"

Then enduring his anger, Zhao Xin opened the second test paper again, and as soon as he opened it, his face turned blue and white, and then pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar to the ground, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the minister, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is not strictly censored, and he actually let such a father, mother, father, teacher, and supreme person enter the palace, and present such polluted words in front of the emperor, and the minister will die!"

Poof!

Saying that, Zhao Xin kowtowed to the ground fiercely, with a sound, and then raised his head, Zhao Xin's forehead had already cracked, and the blood couldn't stop staying, Zhao Xin glanced at Wang Mang, and then kowtowed, and buried his head deep in the ground, and the words in his mouth floated out.

"The minister knows that he is deeply guilty, and he will never dare to participate in this review!"

Wang Qinian looked at Zhao Xin with a surprised expression, and said, "Old Zhao, what kind of medicine did you take, why did you suddenly become like this." ”

Then, Wang Qinian picked up the test paper that was thrown on the ground by Zhao Xin from the ground, opened it, and said angrily: "Such a bad article, dare to write it and present it to Your Majesty, I don't know what it is!"

The others were curious about what the two of them saw, but they were not as free as Wang Qinian, they were not embarrassed, but they were surprised in their hearts that the Son of Heaven could really distinguish the quality of the article through the so-called art of looking at qi, what kind of means is this? It is really unfathomable and incredible!

Everyone just saw it clearly, then Deng Fang really took two copies from the test papers casually, and he didn't even look at them, and if he looked further, those test papers were all swept into the corner by those little eunuchs very unceremoniously, and they didn't look like they were carefully placed at all.

As a result, everyone looked at Wang Mang with admiration, shock, and all kinds of complicated and entangled eyes.

Wang Mang didn't care, waved his hand and said, "Look at the scroll!"

With Zhao Xin demonstrating in front, the ministers no longer dared to doubt the Son of Heaven's ability to look at qi, but in a moment, they divided the test papers into categories.

Today, in this hall, except for Wang Qinian, who maintains law and order, most of them are people who have read articles and written splendid articles, according to the popular saying now, they are called "old geniuses", which means that they are also geniuses who moved the world decades ago.

Under the full efforts of these people, and the first identification of the Son of Heaven's Hope for Qi technique, the preliminary examination of the test paper was quickly completed.

A total of 228 scholars participated in the examination this time, and a total of 53 test papers were discarded directly by Wang Mang with Wang's Qi Technique, and everyone only needed to read 175 test papers.

According to the rules of the Great Qin Examiners, there are three people in the first class, twenty-seven people in the second class, seventy people in the third class, and a total of one hundred people in the third class.

After the ministers consulted, Chu Feng took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have selected one hundred of the test papers of the winning scholars, and the rest of the scholars' test papers do not know what Your Majesty plans to do. ”

"All of them are listed in the top four!" Wang Mang said casually, Wang Mang's idea is very simple, according to the saying that I am born to be useful, even a person who is a waste has its value, and under the appraisal of the imperial study, the glowing test paper, its owner must also have some good shining points, maybe he will give himself some surprises in the future.

Moreover, Wang Mang knows that the future war, first of all, is the war of talents, these scholars who can write glowing articles are more or less good talents, if you don't want it, then your opponent will not be polite, since you are in front of yourself, you will first take all of them under your command, and the provincial ones will throw themselves into trouble on the opposite side.

Wang Mang was casual here, Chu Feng and the ministers over there were stunned on the spot, Chu Feng couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, you can go to the examiner, the number of fourth-class scholars has never exceeded fifty?"

"Then there were so many scholars who participated in the exams in the past?" Wang Mang snorted.

Chu Feng's face turned pale, and he said in a low voice: "No, this is all Your Majesty's Shengming, and there is such a once-in-a-thousand event!"

"It's a once-in-a-millennium prosperous age, so why not record more scholars?" Wang Mang glared at Chu Feng and said casually: "I have made up my mind, you don't have to say more!"

Chu Feng's face turned pale, even if the ministers behind him kept making eyes, they didn't dare to continue to ask Wang Mang about breaking the rules, Chu Feng carefully cast a look at Zhao Xin, and secretly envied in his heart that he might as well kneel on the ground with him, so as not to be embarrassed!

Did this old boy already know that there was such a play?

Chu Feng said secretly, and then raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers will select ten excellent test papers, please Your Majesty will make the top three!"
