Chapter 473: The Palace Exam
γDing! Next check-in location: Ten Thousand Worms Island. γ
[The check-in time limit is 40 days, please go to Wanworm Island as soon as possible to sign in.] γ
Seeing that the sign-in location was still in Da Wei, Wei Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief.
He had just returned from the Shenwu Continent, and his own strength had not improved greatly, so he didn't want to embark on the journey of the Shenwu Continent again.
After the Southern Ming Dynasty was incorporated into the Great Wei Dynasty, Wanworm Island naturally also belonged to the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty.
The nine-colored treasure is hidden on the island of ten thousand insects.
But without the Imperial Ring, the treasure cannot be opened.
Fortunately, there are forty days for sign-in, and you can complete the palace test first, let the government resume normal operation, and then set off for Wanworm Island.
A squall of the night.
By the next day, many of the trees had been blown bald, leaving only the pines and cypresses green.
Winter in Chang'an is coming.
The Golden Luang Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Wei Xiaobao hugged Li Changqing in his arms, sat on the dragon chair, and looked at the officials of the DPRK and China with cold eyes.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."
"Nine thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old."
After many days, he went to court again, and the ministers discussed in advance.
In today's Great Wei, Wei Xiaobao is the sky.
After the mountains and the sea were drunk, Wei Xiaobao waved his hand and said, "Get up." β
The ministers stood up and trembled.
Wei Xiaobao, who was wearing a dragon robe, seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, but in fact he was ruthless, and his six relatives didn't recognize him.
Almost all of the officials who remain in the DPRK are related to Huang Cheng.
The reason why Wei Xiaobao didn't cut off their heads was because their official positions were too small, and the evil deeds they did were much lighter.
Therefore, Wei Xiaobao will give them a chance, and they will try their best to seize this opportunity.
"Your Majesty, Overseer, the students are already waiting outside the hall." Tie Feixue stood at the front of the squad on the right, and on the other side was Dillon.
Wei Xiaobao said: "Let them come in." β
"Announce the students to enter the temple." Xiao An then opened his throat and shouted.
The students were already lined up outside the hall, divided into six columns, each with nearly forty people.
All of them were wearing white Confucian robes and scholarly scarves, looking extraordinary.
As for their appearance, it can only be described in a variety of ways.
Some are handsome and beautiful.
Some of them are rough-looking, like rough market men.
Some even have extremely ugly appearances, which make people feel intimidated when they look at them.
The students entered the Jinluan Palace, making the spacious Jinluan Hall seem a little crowded.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."
"Nine thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old."
All the students knelt on the ground in unison, and their voices were a little chaotic, not wanting to be as neat as the ministers.
But if you are lucky enough to stay in Chang'an as an official, over time, you will be able to shout better than anyone else.
Wei Xiaobao waved his hand and said, "Flatten." β
Although he is not an emperor, what he does now is no different from that of an emperor.
Li Changqing sat obediently on Wei Xiaobao's lap, looking curiously at the people below while eating.
Wei Xiaobao looked at the students and said: "You can stand out from thousands of students, relying on your usual efforts and compassion for the common people, I hope that after you enter politics, you can always remember that you are not the parents of the people, but the sons of the people." β
Not to mention the students, even the officials were surprised.
But they can all understand that Wei Xiaobao just wants to express one meaning, that is, being an official must be the master of the people and seek the welfare of the people, if he can't do this, he will be abandoned by the imperial court.
"The students are in their hearts, and thank you for the teachings of 9,000 years old." All the students shouted in unison.
Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "Okay, the next step is the real palace test." β
All the students are very nervous, after all, being able to become the champion means that there will be a better future.
Role models and tanhua are naturally not bad, the key is to get a high ranking in order to be reused and show their ambitions.
Even if you are sent to the horns, I am afraid that you will be forgotten and never have the opportunity to be promoted.
Wei Xiaobao put Li Changqing aside and said to Tie Feixue: "Lord Tie, you will come up with the question next, and you will judge together." β
Tie Feixue walked out of the class, faced the students, and said in a deep voice: "The first exam question." β
All the students held their breath, for fear that they would miss any of the next words that Tie Feixue said.
"What will you do when you go to the local government to take office, but there is a bully in the local area who has oppressed the people for many years, and the people have suffered greatly, and your predecessor is in cahoots with that bully?" Tie Feixue said very slowly, just to let every student hear clearly.
The exam questions for today's palace exam are all from Wei Xiaobao.
Tie Feixue felt that these questions were too simple after reading them, but Wei Xiaobao said that she didn't need to change them, so she had to read them.
The students were all lost in thought.
It was very quiet in the Golden Luang Palace.
It's really hard to answer an open-ended question like this.
After all, there is no standard answer to this kind of question.
They could only think about this question from Wei Xiaobao's standpoint, because the closer their answer was to the answer in Wei Xiaobao's mind, the more it could attract Wei Xiaobao's attention.
They have already stood out from thousands of students, and now to get the top three from more than 200 leaders, in addition to their own strength, it takes more luck.
Tie Feixue spoke again and said, "When the time comes, you can tell the answer in your heart, just start from here." β
The people at the back of the queue are more or less glad, after all, let the people in front answer first, they will have more time to think.
"The student union will do whatever it takes to eradicate the bullies and restore peace to the people."
"Students know that they are not the opponents of bullies, so they can only coax the bullies first and then wait for the opportunity to eradicate them."
"The students think that no matter how strong the bully is, as long as the local people can unite, even if there are ten bullies, they will be punished."
β¦β¦
A group of students answered one after another.
But their answers are very similar, only slightly different in details.
When the seventh man came, the man stammered and did not utter a word for a long time.
Because the answer he wants to say has already been said by the previous person, and now he says the same answer, even if the words used are different, it is difficult to change the fact that he is plagiarizing.
The people behind were also sad, and they couldn't imagine that they would encounter this kind of distress when they answered at the end.
For a while, the Jinluan Hall fell into a dead silence again.
There were more than 200 students who did not answer.
They feel that this kind of palace examination is not fair, the normal palace examination is the emperor to ask questions, they chant poems to oppose each other, and then the emperor decides the champion, the list of eyes and the candidate of Tanhua.
Wei Xiaobao looked at the students, with a chuckle on the corner of his mouth.
The next step is to test the talents of the students.
What Dawei needs is officials who can do practical things, not nerds who only know how to read to death.
Like the answers of the previous students, it is a good way to listen to the rules.
But in reality, when they do encounter such a thing, they will either be in the same league with the bullies, or they will be killed by the bullies.
When their lives are in danger, nine times out of ten they will choose to compromise and become the umbrella of the bullies.
Tie Feixue had already thought about the answer to this question, and felt that the answers of the previous seven students were undoubtedly the most correct answer.
Of course, there are other answers, but if they are said, I am afraid that everyone will laugh at them.
"Nine thousand years old, the student thought that he should ask for help when he encountered this matter." Suddenly, a warm voice came from behind.
Help?
All the students were sneering.
Of course, they also want to ask for help, but the court raised them, did they let them cause chaos to the court?
If you need to rely on the court for everything, what is the use of them?
Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "Tell me your reasons." β
"The reason why bullies can become bullies is because they are very powerful in the local area, and they are already deeply rooted in that land, and the student is a weak scholar, and in the face of such a behemoth, he has no chance of winning, so he can only ask for help from the nine thousand years old, and when the nine thousand years old uproot the bully, it is the time for the students to show their strength." The student's voice was calm, unaffected by the ridicule of the people around him, and he spoke in an orderly manner.
Even if this student makes sense, the rest of the students will think that he is farting.
This guy not only said that he wanted to ask for help, but also asked for help from the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Xiaobao, which was really funny.
Wei Xiaobao just smiled and asked again, "But there is still someone to answer?" β
The rest of the students were silent, and it was better to remain silent than to say repetitive answers.
Wei Xiaobao waved his hand and motioned for Tie Feixue to continue.
In today's palace exam, there are only three questions.
Tie Feixue cleared her throat and said again: "After getting rid of the bully, what will you do with the property left by the bully?" β
The students were very active in this issue and spoke freely.
On the whole, their answers can be divided into three categories: first, all of them are handed over to the national treasury, second, all of them are distributed to the local people, and third, the treasury and the people get half of each of them.
But different students have different opinions on different divisions.
Tie Feixue was very satisfied with what she heard, it seems that these students who have won the Jinshi are indeed very good.
"Back at the age of 9,000, the student union divided the property of the bully into three parts, one part was handed over to the state treasury, one part was distributed to the poor people, and the remaining part was used to repair water conservancy and promote agriculture and commerce." It was that warm and nice voice again, and it said an answer that was different from everyone else.
Tie Feixue followed the sound and saw that it was an ugly-looking man who spoke.
Looking at the man's face, I am afraid that he is almost forty, which can be regarded as an old candidate.
Wei Xiaobao nodded with a smile and asked, "What's your name?" β
"Back to 9,000 years old, student Zhang Wenxin, a person from Yangzhou." The student replied respectfully.
Among the rest of the students, many have heard of this name.
There is an elderly student in Yangzhou who began to participate in the scientific examination at the age of 18, and he has been taking the examination for 20 years, but he has not passed the first.
But the old student never gave up from beginning to end, and persevered in poverty, never had the idea of giving up.
This old student is called Zhang Wenxin.
Wei Xiaobao bowed slightly, and said, "Lord Tie, please ask the last question." β
The students held their breath again.
Tie Feixue said: "The people are living poorly, and the court has issued an order to increase taxes, what will you do?" β
The students looked at each other.
Since ancient times, it has been the emperor's order that cannot be violated.
Faced with such a very sensitive question, for a while, they really didn't know how to answer.
"Back to the age of 9,000, the students should write a letter at the meeting, detailing the plight of the local people, and ask the imperial court to pardon and exempt the local people from paying taxes, if not, then they can only ......" This time it was a very dark-skinned student who should not be more than thirty years old.
But on that face, the years have left a clear mark.
"Back to the age of 9,000, the students should strictly complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court, and then ask the imperial court to be extra generous and help the people." Another student said.
Wei Xiaobao smiled and asked: "If the people are in difficulty surviving, when you go to the book and wait for the imperial court to help, I am afraid that many people have died tragically, who will be responsible for the death of those people?" β
The student was suddenly deflated, and his face was red and red, which was quite funny.
"Back at the age of 9,000, the people were already starving and freezing, and the students couldn't bear to see them make matters worse, even if the court forced them to be urgent, the students would refuse to carry it out." Another student plucked up the courage to say something that many students would not dare to say.
After all, refusing to carry out the orders of the imperial court is equivalent to wanting to rebel.
Rebellion is a serious crime, and no one dares to say that.
Wei Xiaobao was about to speak, but Li Changqing suddenly jumped off the dragon chair and wanted to go outside to play.
Wei Xiaobao asked Xiao An to take Li Changqing out first, and then asked, "But there are different answers?" β
Seeing that no one was talking, Wei Xiaobao looked at Zhang Wenxin again and asked, "Zhang Wenxin, what about you?" β
β¦β¦
Thank you for the monthly pass support of Mr. 123.
Thank you to all the Taoist friends who support the long worm.
Don't ask me why the last chapter didn't have a title, the reason is that old drivers understand.
