Chapter 129: What Should You Do?

readx;? What the ghost said is not wrong, although in the martial arts competition, the other three competitors were seriously injured, but because they were handled in a timely and proper manner, it did not affect today's literary test. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And now the ghost is sitting in the hall of the literary test.

Unexpectedly, the Wen test was actually above the court, which was not only a ghost and ugly accident, but even the ministers on both sides were very surprised, because the four competitors who participated in the lord's land were all sitting in the middle of the main hall, and on the table in front of them was a simple long table with a thick layer of paper on it.

"Give the ministers a seat!" The early dynasty has ended, and the old emperor did not let the hundred officials go down, but stayed in the main hall, and then announced that the four competitors entered the main hall, and then let the hundred officials sit down in order according to the official rank.

Although the hall was busy for a while, it was busy and orderly, and after the ministers sat down, the old emperor raised his hand slightly, and Feng Lun, who was standing next to the old emperor's throne, cleared his throat and announced the start of the literary examination.

Before the words fell, the ministers were about to talk in a low voice, but they saw that the guards of the main hall also put the officials on the table, and a blank paper was placed on the table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this competition in the land of lords, the martial arts competition has already had results, but this time the literary examination is presided over by the old man, so with the permission of His Majesty the Emperor, some changes have been made, all the officials are indispensable ministers and important ministers of important departments of the empire, so they have a strong understanding of each department, therefore, the questions of this literary examination will be given by the officials, and the specific rules will be announced by the guards. Feng Lun saluted the old emperor and handed a scroll that was not very large to the guards next to him.

The guard opened the scroll and read out the rules of the exam.

This time the essay test felt that it had changed a little in Feng Lun's tone, and many officials began to think that they were just having ordinary problems, but some people were so careful that they were frightened, especially after the guards read out the rules, the entire hall almost exploded.

This time the question is mandatory, if there is a question about aristocratic etiquette, temple doctrine and other issues, then the official must come up with a question related to their own department, military, cultural, economic, agricultural and so on involved a lot, if it is found that only the first kind of problem or Gu Zuo said that he, regardless of political affairs, then the punishment faced by this official is also very serious, only the official who has this kind of question, since the official who came out of the question, everyone will be demoted by one level, and three months' allowance will be deducted.

As soon as this rule came out, the entire hall fell into unprecedented silence, no one thought that Feng Lun, an unknown little old man, would have such a shrewd calculation, this was no longer a literary test of a lord's land, but a test of the entire imperial bureaucratic system, and the literary test almost only became a superficial decoration!

A high-ranking official needs to go through many hardships when he takes the position, and the intrigue is no worse than the bloody battlefield, but Feng Lun's small literary test rules can directly waste all the previous efforts of those officials who are not good at asking questions, this trick is too ruthless!

So it didn't take long for someone to come out and raise objections.

"God of Light, my Majesty the Emperor, I think ......"

"Sit down and listen. It's a pity that the minister in charge of agriculture has just stood up, and before he has said three sentences, the old emperor's hand waved, leaving him speechless, and he can only honestly look at the white paper in front of him, the old emperor's words can be regarded as a clear attitude, knowing that the emperor is determined to support Feng Lun's approach, the ministers began to pay attention to the blank paper in front of them, while recalling the rules, while thinking about the common problems of their subordinate departments.

Of course, the most surprising thing was the four competitors sitting in the center of the hall, they also heard the rules, but after listening to the rules, the original relaxed expressions on the faces of the four people all disappeared, this is a change they never thought of, and there was no news before, until the rules were read, the four of them knew that this literary test was probably more difficult than yesterday's martial arts competition, and the results of the martial arts competition that Feng Lun said before did not affect the literary examination, and it seemed to be true.

Looking at the thick paper in front of him, the ghost knew that the competition time of this essay test was probably much stronger than the martial arts test.

The ministers pondered hard, and the four people who were waiting were also sad, but the ghost ugly stared at Kahler, who had not been in court for a thousand years, and Kahler turned his head at first and didn't care, but he couldn't stand the ghost and kept looking, and couldn't help but turn his head and look at the ghost.

"Didn't you know that before?"

"Where do I know where to go, it's not Feng Lun himself who talked to his father, if you compare it like this, I really can't help you in the literary test. ”

"I didn't expect you at first, but the old man came really, so yin me!"

"It doesn't seem to be just yin for you, I think Feng Lun is helping you. ”

"Is that also a help?" Ghost Ugly looked a little angry, but he saw Calle raise his hand to wipe his nose, and the finger also pointed in a specific direction, others couldn't see anything, but Ghost Ugly looked around and knew what Calle wanted to say.

"Even if I know something, but these are high-ranking officials, and I haven't been exposed to those things. Ghost shrugged slightly, but Calle had already turned his head to look like he was in a good position, and in discouragement, Ghost had to pause eye contact and turn his gaze to the other three competitors.

Because of yesterday's serious injury, the three competitors who were defeated in martial arts were obviously at a loss for the situation in front of them, and the son of the finance minister named Nales among the three people looked back and forth at the ministers around him, obviously asking for help, but unfortunately, many ministers were busy with questions, and the only one who had time to care about him was his father, the finance minister.

It's a pity that although his father is the Minister of Finance, he is also helpless in the face of such changes, there are nearly 100 officials in the main hall, and there will naturally be more than 100 questions, even if the Minister of Finance is powerful, it is only one percent.

It was that Feng Lun looked like an old god, which made the ghost ugly look upset, and he worked hard to watch the aristocratic etiquette for nearly half a day and half a night, and finally relied on his own brain power to memorize these things in his heart, but today, isn't it a waste of what he carried yesterday.

There is resentment in the ghost and ugly here, those ministers have written out the questions, the guards took them, and then handed them over to Feng Lun's hands, this old man actually really looked at them one by one, when he saw some satisfactory questions, he would nod, and then cross out those questions that did not have any substance, but these crossed out questions will be put in front of His Majesty the Emperor one by one to preview, and the old emperor nodded is really crossed out, which means that the ministers who have those problems will face the danger of being demoted, and the question of the old emperor shaking his head does not need Feng Lun to look at it again, but directly added to the test paper。

The clerk recorded these questions on the side, and soon a set of examination papers made by the monarchs and ministers of the entire hall was made, and the guards sent the questions to the four competitors, and then the timer began.

"It's also a long time, and since the ministers are also tired, let's take some snacks and serve a pot of spirits to the military ministers. The old emperor smiled slightly, waved his hand to let the guards and palace maids prepare, hearing this will, the ministers present were stunned, but this time no one stood up to object, even the three imperial marshals.

Naturally, there is Amlock among the military officials, and after the ghost nodded kindly, what he got was a white eye from Amrook, and the ghost didn't know why, so he asked Calle for help, but only got a vague answer.

"You go to Jesse and ask, Anlock's question may not be that simple. ”

The ghost ugly was helpless, so he had to look down at the question, and as soon as he saw the first question, the ghost ugly already felt that this literary exam was probably the most difficult difficulty he had encountered so far.

This question is very short, but very straightforward and profound, what is the population base above the territory?

This...... Fortunately, the ghost ugly sighed, for the sake of competition, he really sent someone to understand, if from the official point of view, this not very rich territory should have a population of about 500,000, but after the war, I am afraid that this number will be greatly reduced, the ghost ugly has learned about the previous battle, and after a rough calculation, the ghost ugly wrote a about five to one hundred thousand.

After completing the first question, let's look at the second question, how to better recover the destroyed grain production in the territory?

Ghost Ugly frowned, this must have been proposed by the minister in charge of agriculture just now, think about it carefully, there are many territories like this in the Kotler Empire now, if the answer is good, I am afraid it can also have a certain impact on other regions, Ghost Ugly is not very surprised by this question, he wrote a large paragraph swayingly, and then began to continue to look down.

With the passage of time, the pause of the ghost and the ugly began to get longer and longer, and he did not count how many questions there were in this set, but the ghost knew that the problems in it had involved the management of the entire empire, politics, economy, people's livelihood, Diplomacy, education, and so on are all involved, and the ghost ugly is deep thinking because of these problems, and he doesn't even have time to observe other opponents, and he is also deaf to the influence around him, turning a blind eye, and the paper used is one and the other, and when the last piece of paper is used up, the ghost ugly only finds that the other three competitors are only using three or two.

Repeatedly asked for a stack of papers, and the ghost continued to look at the next question.

This is a military problem, to put it more simply, this is a military command problem, the person who asked the question even had a detailed description of the troops, troops, and surrounding terrain of the opposing sides, looking at this problem, the ghost ignored the same eyes as the surrounding ministers, and directly stood up and walked to Leka's side.

"How do you think you would react if I put cavalry first and you were the enemy on this terrain?"

The entire hall was silent for an instant, and the ghost ugly turned his head and looked around and said, "Why, there is no restriction on competitors who can discuss with each other in the rules of the literary examination, anyway, I didn't foul." ”

"Presumptuous! This is ......" A burly military official had already jumped out when the ghost stood up, but now when he heard the ghost ugly's words, his face was even more angry.

But after the old emperor coughed lightly, the military official was stunned at first, and returned to his seat in a daze, this is the scene of the literary examination, and it was said in the rules just now that the questioners should not directly interfere with competitors, and there are indeed no regulations in the rules that do not allow discussion, so the ghost has not violated the rules.

And the ghost ugly glanced at the military officer, then turned to Leka and continued to ask: "According to common sense, the cavalry is a good choice, but the time limit here does not seem to be too long, if I am the commander of the other party, I want to attack here, what do you think?"
