Chapter 639: Foolishness

Except for a few people, the courtiers still don't know anything about this matter, they are talking about another thing related to the imperial examination, after the eunuch shouted, "Something to play, nothing to retreat from the court", Di Yan tremblingly walked out of the court, "Your Majesty, the old minister impeached the examiners for being unfair and omitting talents." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

King Fu sat on the throne and waved his hand impatiently, if it weren't for the fact that there was a ceremony of talent from the imperial court that had to come out to deal with it in the past few days, he was afraid that he would not even be bothered to go to the court, and the eunuch on duty hurriedly asked Di Yan to tell the truth.

"In this Jinshi examination, the old minister found a champion talent, but the examiners and Qi Shangshu deposed him with prejudice, the old minister was not convinced, and asked His Majesty to uphold justice." After telling what happened in the examination room that day, Di Yan was not willing to rest, and actually took out a test paper that he had ordered to be transcribed that day from his sleeve and shook his head and recited it, and the Fu King on the throne was so impatient, and the ministers in the palace were also divided into two groups, one turned to whisper, and shook their heads, which of them did not know the topic of Jinshike, and this article went around and did not talk about the topic, isn't it something that should be dethroned? The other small group shook their heads and savored the subtleties of the article, nodding their heads in praise from time to time, looking like Di Yan's appreciation.

"Your Majesty, it's rare to see such a masterpiece." After reading it, Di Yan ignored the dry mouth, and continued to analyze the benefits of this article for King Fu, where and where to use what allusions, which sentence can be called an excellent literary style, and where is it in line with the teachings of the sage, this article is said to be rare through the ages, and the words are extremely sad and indignant, as if the sky is about to collapse if he missed this virtuous Jiazhou, and strongly asked King Fu to improve the final result of Shike, and point this person as the champion.

Where can King Fu understand the benefits of this article, and finally listened to Di Yan's rambling, he habitually turned his gaze to Li You, "What does Taiwei think of Mr. Di's play?" ”

"The words are empty, and nowhere is it implemented, it is like a castle in the air, it is right to depose it, and Qi Shangshu and others are not at fault for their decision that day." Li You thought about it, this person has no writing and does not know current affairs, even if he is put in a propaganda agency to write articles, it can't be reassuring, so let him be a literati outside the court with peace of mind, maybe he can write some articles that will be passed down through the ages.

"The old minister also thought that it was, this person was obviously a good reader." Qian Sa also refuted unceremoniously, "The imperial examination is to select talents for the country to govern the world, what is the use of such a few good sentences written in the air, but people who don't understand the world at all?" However, Di Yan regarded these answer sheets as treasures, which shows that he has not yet understood the purpose of the imperial court's talent selection ceremony, and if the old minister sees that if the imperial examination is held again in the future, Di Yan will no longer need to serve as an examiner, so as not to let the court lose its talents. ”

Qian Sa's words were even more unkind, after listening to it, Di Yan's face was red, and he tried his best to argue, "Yanwu Xiuwen, it is the best policy to govern the country with benevolence and forgiveness, as long as Your Majesty is close to the virtuous ministers and far away villains, and recruits talents, the northern captives will be self-defeating, so why do you need to raise a war like now, causing the people to be miserable?" ”

Poof, Li You almost laughed out loud, he didn't know what to say, didn't he send a large army to attack, and those northern captives would automatically retreat to the grassland? This Di Yan is really unreasonable.

"Is there any evidence for Lord Di to say that the people are miserable?" Fan Li walked out of the court and asked coldly, now except for the newly recovered Dugi Dao, the other three are much better than when Li Gui was in power, these are all changes made by Li You and his ministers after a lot of hard work, he naturally does not allow Di Yan to slander, "Lord Di must not talk about it." ”

"In just a few years, first sent troops to Lingnan Province, and then waved troops to attack Gyeonggi Province and Dugi Province, and there must have been countless casualties in successive battles, and these soldiers are the pillars of a family, and if one person is killed or injured, the whole family will suffer, isn't it unspeakably miserable?" Di Yan said with a stiff neck.

"Haven't Lord Di seen the Battle of Lingnan and the twists and turns of the previous Northern Expedition?" Such a casual style of opening his mouth is really unbearable, and his words annoyed Sima Cuo again, Sima Cuo stood up and shouted, "Lingnan killed tens of thousands of enemies and captured tens of thousands in the First World War, while the casualties of our Jiazhou army were only hundreds; The Northern Expedition annihilated Yaluhan's 80,000-strong army and recovered Dugi Province, with only more than 1,000 casualties, and the pensions for these casualties were also distributed truthfully, which was enough to make his family have no worries. ”

At this time, Di Yan was directly stunned, where did he pay attention to the news of the war in the past, how could he think of the loss of the Jiazhou army in the repeated battles? In his opinion, it is reasonable to have more than 10,000 casualties in the melee of tens of thousands of troops, and he didn't expect that the Jiazhou army would be so powerful now.

Di Yan, who had exhausted his words, didn't dare to debate with Sima Cuo and Fan Li again, and directly began to play tricks, kneeling in the court and crying, turning over and over again saying that benevolence and righteousness are the best way to govern the country, making the ministers look at each other, how did they run out of such a living treasure?

Li You was also made impatient by this fool, he stood up and suppressed his anger and asked, "In that case, then give Dugi Dao to Lord Di to govern, and Lord Di may use benevolence and righteousness to resist those northern captives, so that they don't dare to go south?" ”

"Old minister... The old minister can't! Di Yan knew that although he was knowledgeable, he was completely useless in fighting and defending the city, so how could he dare to agree.

"You can't govern a land, so a state land should always be okay, right? If you are asked to serve as the prefect of Luzhou, you may be able to protect the safety of a state? Li You continued to ask.

"Old minister... The old minister can't! Di Yan's face became more and more pale, he seemed to finally realize that he had made a big mistake, but he still didn't dare to agree, Luzhou is next to Henan Province, which is the focus of Beiyu's attack, if he goes, how can he have good fruit to eat?

"Huh! Just now Master Di talked eloquently, I thought that there was nothing in the world that could stump Master Di. Li You couldn't help but say sarcastically, his tone became colder and colder, Yao Guangxiao and other people who were familiar with Li You knew that he was already angry to the extreme, "It's not good to be in a state, so it's okay to be in a county, right?" ”

"The old minister can't!" Di Yan still didn't dare to agree.

"What about the Land of a Fort?" If he didn't even dare to guard a castle, Li You planned to let him get out of the way.

"Old minister... The old minister can do it! Knowing that he would be punished if he did not agree, he replied. (To be continued.) )
