The questions for this exam were drafted by Hua Xiong.

The exam papers have been locked in the box.

No one can open it without Hua Xiong's order.

It can be said that before the exam, no one else knew the questions of the exam except Hua Xiong himself.

However, Cao Cao and Xun Yu both felt that it must be Hua Xiong who ordered Cai Yong and Wang Yun to ask questions.

But when Xun Yu and Cao Cao saw the exam questions, they were stunned.

They originally thought that Cai Yong and Wang Yun's questions were nothing more than the mean of the university, the Analects of Mencius, or the poetry and book ceremony Yi Chunqiu.

That's why I feel like I have a chance to win.

But they never expected that this exam would not be played according to common sense.

There are not many topics, but the content has nothing to do with the Four Books and the Five Classics.

It's all about "how to get the local people out of poverty if they are poor" or "how to deal with natural disasters".

There are also some bizarre multiple-choice questions.

This...... What is the title of this Nima?

Xun Yu and Cao Cao were dumbfounded.

Such a topic, not to mention the talents they recommend.

I'm afraid that if I let Xun Yu and them be civil officials, the answer is quite enough.

"This topic ......"

Cao Cao scratched his head.

"What? Isn't it good? ”

Hua Xiong asked with a smile.

"Dare to ask who came up with this question?"

Xun Yu asked cautiously.

"Is there anything wrong with me?"

Hua Xiong asked rhetorically.

"It's gone, it's gone."

Xun Yu waved his hand again and again.

He and Cao Cao glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness on each other's faces.

Huaxiong asked, what can they say?

For now, I can only pray and resign myself to fate.

The exam was over quickly.

After the paper was collected, Hua Xiong personally corrected the paper.

The results came out the next day.

Guozijian's students all have suitable positions.

There is even one person who holds an official position second only to Xun Yu.

As for the talents recommended by Xun Yu, none of them were admitted.

"Hey, I'm disappointed. Originally, I thought that Xun Yu, what you recommended were all talents. ”

Hua Xiong sighed and said regretfully,

"I didn't expect it to be nothing."

These words made Xun Yu's face turn red.

He stood up and glared at Hua Xiongdao,

"I'm not convinced!"

"Oh? Why are you not convinced? ”

Hua Xiong said lightly.

"The questions in this exam have nothing to do with the Four Books and the Five Classics, and they are all questions that I have never heard of."

"On the contrary, the students of Guozijian are all fluent in answers, how can this convince me?"

Xun Yu is hard and authentic.

"That's right, I'm not convinced!"

"Me too!"

Yang Zan and Huang Wan all stood up.

"In that case, I'll convince you."

Hua Xiong sneered.

"In the past, there would be some exams to select talents.

But the content of the exam is all four books and five classics.

I admit that they all have important cultural values.

But we are electing court officials, not nerds who can only study!

Therefore, I changed the content of the test and paid more attention to the candidate's handling of the actual situation.

Do you understand? ”

In ancient times, those who were officials basically did nothing, and all affairs, large and small, were done by deputy officials.

For example, Xun Yu and the talents they recommend, if they are allowed to recite poems against each other and intrigue in power, they are probably all good hands.

But if you really want to run the country, you are probably blind.

Hua Xiong added some practical courses to Guozijian's curriculum.

It will test the students' ability to govern the country.

He didn't want to pick out a bunch of rubbish who only talked about it.

And Xun Yu's talents recommended by them, where have they learned these things, of course, they can't answer any of them.

Hua Xiong's words suddenly made Cao Cao and Xun Yu speechless.

Oh, yes.

If we really want to select talents, we must select those who have the ability to manage the country.

The questions in this civil service exam are very targeted.

can stand out, and the ability to govern the country will definitely not be bad.

"Are you convinced now?"

Hua Xiong asked.

Xun Yu and Cao Cao glanced at each other, a little depressed.

"We ...... Speechless. ”

Hua Xiong smiled in his heart.

Just you ancients, if you want to fight with me, it's still tender.

A list with the names of the candidates posted on it was posted on the square outside the palace.

None of the students gathered around, sticking their heads out to look.

The title of the gold list, the students who were admitted to the official examination, were so excited that they shouted wildly.

The students who didn't get into the exam beat their chests and cried for the ground.

Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Yang Zan were standing on one side, and their moods were a little complicated.

"These students who are admitted are all talents. Why don't we fight for them again and win them over? ”

Cao Cao was a little unwilling.

He didn't want to watch so many talents fall into Hua Xiong's pocket.

"Mengde, let's save it." Xun Yu said listlessly, "They are all students of Guozijian, do you think they can be wooed?" ”

"How does Guozijian ......?"

Cao Cao was halfway through his words, and he suddenly couldn't speak.

The principal of Guozijian is Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong himself is the imperial master of the central government, with power leaning towards the government and the opposition, and his prestige is high.

What capital can these people have to compete for Huaxiong and make these students return to their hearts?

"Could it be...... Just watch Hua Xiong be so arrogant? ”

I don't know who said it.

No one answered.

Everyone's expressions were a little thoughtful.

Some people have even secretly begun to consider whether to continue to fight with Hua Xiong.

……

Hua Xiong took Jia Xu and them back to the command post.

"Haha, let Xun Yu and Cao Apu go against me and them off."

After severely suppressing Xun Yu and Cao Cao at the court meeting, Hua Xiong couldn't have said how comfortable he was.

"They were told by the lord just now, and they didn't dare to put a fart, it's really funny."

Li Ru also said with a smile.

Everyone's words and words are all ridicule of Xun Yu and Cao Cao.

Just then, a herald hurried in.

"Your Excellency!"

He saluted Hua Xiong and handed over a fold.

"I just received news that Yuan Gong and Gongsun Taishou in the north have sent envoys, and they have now arrived in Luoyang City, and they are currently stationed in the embassy."

"Got it."

Hua Xiong waved his hand and let the herald go down.

"It's strange, how could Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan send envoys at the same time?"

Gao Shun said with some doubts.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were both princes of the northern side and had strong strength.

Usually to the orders of the imperial court, that is to ignore it.

But now they have sent envoys all at once, which is really suspicious.

Hua Xiong pondered for a moment and said with a smile,

"I see, they're here to show their sincerity."

"Sincerity?"

Gao Shun and Ma Chao were stunned.

"What the lord said is not bad at all." Guo Jia said with a smile, "The two of them are fighting happily now, and they want to attract foreign aid, so they sent envoys." ”

Hua Xiong flipped through the folds casually, and then his face changed greatly.

"His grandmother's, Yuan Shao, this kid, has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?"
