85. Temple Examination
"I had just returned from the Faculty of Letters' examination grounds, and their influence was so great that the chasing admirers had surrounded the Faculty of Letters. I also find talent. Just wait for the temple to test their skills. She said while drinking the heart-warming bean juice pot sent by Ning Rong.
Ning Rong closed the lid of the porcelain jar: "There was a riot caused by onlookers outside the Academy of Letters, is there really such a thing?" ”
"It's not a riot, it's that I want to test their ability to deal with the world." She said smugly.
Ning Rong saw that she was so happy, so she eased up a lot: "The concubine was worried about the emperor's safety outside the palace in the palace, and she came to see after she knew that the emperor came back." ”
After today's journey, she has no idea how to pass on the decree to the people in the best way in the future: "In the future, I will select a few talents in my palace to help deal with government affairs, what kind of talents do you think I need to be more suitable for my work habits." ”
When Ning Rong heard this, he thought for a while before saying: "The emperor has always liked talents who have unique insights and can take charge of themselves, and the key is to be young and energetic, and not too weak. In the past, Liang Rui was very popular with the emperor's Sheng Xin when he was by the emperor's side, but Liang Rui was a civil and military all-rounder, and he went to the north this time, and he was the generalissimo in the future, and he was no longer the commander of the imperial forest army around the emperor. Therefore, there are very few people who are like Liang Rui. This time, the emperor can be so happy when he comes back, most of them feel that there is a suitable candidate, and the concubines naturally dare not be the emperor's lord. ”
She didn't want Ning Rong to manage the harem for all these years, and her words touched her heart: "The queen is really getting more and more understanding." If there is a husband in the future, that person must be the most blessed person in the world. ”
"Your Majesty, don't make fun of the concubines, the concubines are all queens, will they be able to change their current identity in this life?" Ning Rong recognized the reality in front of him.
"Yes." She answered her firmly.
Ning Rong smiled happily: "The concubine really wants to stay by the emperor's side in this life and this life."
"I won't let you keep it, I still have three thousand beauties in the harem, and you don't dare to take a concubine in me." She wanted to make Ning Rong happy.
"Your Majesty, the concubines still have important matters, so they will retire first." Ning Rong was thin-skinned, and she couldn't help but tease her like this.
She looked at the back of Ning Rong leaving, and felt very good.
The next day, the Ministry of Officials set the examination for the talents on the third day of the examination at the Faculty of Letters.
On this day, when the sun was on the third pole, she sat on the dragon chair of the Taiwei Palace, and one hundred and thirty-six talented people rushed in, and the uniform green clothes made the former hall more popular. Her Royal Highness's talents are about the same age as her, which naturally makes her feel that she is even more energetic in the face of the elderly ministers in the past.
"Students meet the emperor." A group of talented people knelt on the ground, kneeling three times and knocking nine times.
"All the talented people, please get up quickly, and you will be exempted from kneeling during the temple examination, and you will be on an equal footing with me. Come, give a seat to all the wise men in the temple. She stood up from the dragon chair and said passionately.
"Student Xie Huangshang Longen." The voices of the young people suddenly rose.
"Today's palace exam, I don't take the exam, I want to talk to the talented people about the way to govern the country. What do you think, just speak up. She wanted to relax and be stress-free and listen to these talented people who came in from all over the world.
"Today's topic, when it is divided into north and south, there is Ningfu country in the south, Yulin country in the north, and the two countries are only separated by Xiangcheng under the jurisdiction of Changzhou. In the future, who can determine the world and unify the four seas. You can talk about the various strategies of statecraft. What you think and how you say it, you don't have to be taboo. She threw out the topic, intending to hand it over to these talented people who were full of wealth.
As soon as she finished speaking, she took the lead: "Student David would like to talk about his views first." ”
"Please." She descended a step down the stairs and sat down on the ground.
"Students think that the south of Ningfu is a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, a rich land in the world, but the south is full of water and hills, which is not suitable for cultivating the rigidity of soldiers. David first talked a few words, and said the way to raise soldiers to raise wolves.
"Student Li Sichen talks about his views." There is one more who comes out on his own.
After getting her nod, Li Sichen said loudly: "The northern and southern capitals were also one family a hundred years ago, and they became the overlords of the party back then. The students thought that the king could tolerate a person who was a master of high merit, and he would raise tigers in the future. When the princes of one side have power, their original determination to serve the country will become their personal desires. The students thought that the king was to balance the forces of all parties to achieve a balance so as not to threaten the royal industry. ”
"Student Zhang Xujin talks about his views." One after another came out of the ranks.
After she nodded, Zhang Xujin said, "I don't know if the emperor knows the cause of the famine in my Ningfu today?" ”
"I know that the green and yellow are not connected, and the grains are not harvested." She replied simply.
"Then the emperor should know why my Ningfu granary can't afford to supply a famine?" Zhang Xujin said again.
"Naturally, the treasury is empty, and there is no surplus food." Again, she replied simply.
But the emperor didn't know that it was the people who were hungry, and the treasury was poor. It is the private pocket that is full. There are more than a dozen state capitals under the jurisdiction of Ningfu, and there are hundreds of officials, and there are countless officials who have violated the law of the country and filled their private pockets over the years. Students once traveled to Lingnan to study, and saw that the local officials collected taxes that were too high to exceed the harvest, and how much they went into the treasury was known only to those who handled it. Seeing this, the students were helpless, and they suffered from climbing to the sky and having no way to ask for their lives for the people. Today, I am fortunate to have a palace test, and I want to ask the emperor to make decisions for the survival of the people. Zhang Xujin spoke eloquently.
She was full of emotion, and said of the pain in her heart: "Zhang Caizi, rest assured, I will not sit idly by." We must follow this matter to the end. ”
"Student Xu Jin talks about his views." One more person on the list.
"Just say it." She thinks that today she will be able to hear the most true voices of the people at the bottom from the mouths of this group of talented people.
"The students think that now my Ningfu is the former family to support this Ningfu country, the family has always been powerful, hundreds of families in Ningfu are in the opposition, but they still live a fairy-like life with their own family business, and the old achievements have made their ancestors have no worries about food and clothing, and they interfere in political affairs if they are not happy. However, the emperor could not sit idly by. Most of these are very powerful. The students thought that the prestige of the family was too high and that it would not be beneficial to the country. Zhang Xuxian said.
...
More than 100 talented people said their opinions from the poor people and everywhere when she put down the emperor's figure, which made her feel like an empowerment and benefited a lot: "You one hundred and thirty-six talented people are the new force of Ningfu in the future, I will not let any of you be less, I will let the guards keep you safe, today's opinions are what you will do in the future, and you will remember today's original intention." ”
"The students will live up to the emperor's expectations. The student quits. "A heart-to-heart palace test came to an end here.
