"It's out! It's out! ”

On this day, the streets and alleys of Yecheng ushered in such a voice, and it seemed that there were scholars running to tell each other everywhere.

These scholars, who were dressed differently but were bookish, were particularly excited today. There was only one place they were heading to, and that was the periphery of the walls of the Jixia School Palace.

On the walls of that row, list after list had been posted at this time. The list is not anything else, it is the person who won the position of Jinshi in this imperial court election examination.

Because it was the first big exam, there were more scholars who participated in the exam, a whole few thousand, but in essence, there were too few people who could pass the exam and get the position of jinshi.

"Bell! ……”

Several officials rang the gong in their hands, and the voice was loud, signaling the scholars present to be restless.

Looking at the crowd of people in front of him, the chief examiner Ran Liang had to send some soldiers and officials to maintain order.

In this way, a group of scholars gathered in front of the lists, shaking their heads and watching with relish.

But this is really something that some people are happy and some people are worried about.

The people on the list are naturally smiling, and those who are famous in Sun Shan inevitably have sad faces.

"Hit! Hit! I'm in! Hahahaha! ......" A young gentleman dressed in relatively simple clothes couldn't help but be ecstatic when he saw his name on the list.

"Congratulations to Brother Li, he is on the list today, and his future success is just around the corner!"

"It's a fluke."

There are also some scholars who are dead studying, and they don't know how to be flexible, but they are sad and complaining.

No matter how happy or sad it is, the result is out anyway.

Under the leadership of Shi Min, because the Zhao State is too strong to purge the officials, so there is an extreme lack of officials in various places in the Zhao State now, many counties and counties, an official even has to wear multiple positions, one person does three or four Rao work, and sleeps all night in the office!

Therefore, in this big exam, the imperial court has really relaxed some requirements, but there are still quota restrictions.

According to Shi Min's regulations, 1,000 scholars were admitted to this big examination, of which the first three were champions, Bangyan and Tanhua, 100 Jinshi, 300 lifters, 600 Xiucai, and the rest had no fame, which was "famous Sun Mountain"!

This is already the form of the imperial examination system, but now Shi Min does not dare to fully implement the imperial examination system in the whole country, he has never completely controlled the lifeblood of this time, Hu Rao's power has not been eliminated, and the power of the family has not yet surrendered.

Ran Liang stood up again and said loudly: "By the king's edict!" Those who enter the palace immediately enter the palace and conduct the last palace test, and the first three are the champion, the list eye and the flower, which can be the official of the five products, and stay in Yecheng. ”

Hearing this, the scholars couldn't help but show a look of longing.

Officials of the fifth grade! It's still a Jingguan! It's really something they've always dreamed of, but unfortunately there seem to be only three places.

In this way, those who were admitted to the Jinshi followed Ran Liang to Jianzhang Palace.

In the splendid and majestic hall of the council, a large number of places had been vacated at this time, and a hundred jinshi followed in, and stood up, with their eyebrows lowered and pleasing to the eyes like wooden people.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Under the majestic platform, all the jinshi knelt down and shouted long live.

"Flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The jinshi then got up and stood up.

At this time, Shi Min on the throne on the side of the dragon chair stood up.

Shi Min's power is already in full swing, and even on the side of the dragon chair, he has his position, which is enough to prove that he is on an equal footing with Shi Zun, the emperor, no, or Shi Min's power is higher than Shi Zun, after all, the latter is still in his hands, a puppet emperor.

Looking at the group of jinshi under His Majesty's platform, Shi Min couldn't help but feel the emotion of Tang Taizong in later generations.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are a rare talent, and being able to stand out from many scholars is enough to prove your talent. Now is your last level, the winner, can be the official of the five grades, staying in Yecheng. ”

Shi Min said loudly: "All those who are capable and few people will be entrusted with important tasks. Some of the people on the list will stay in Yecheng, and some will go to various places to hold important positions, and the imperial court will send people to check your political achievements from time to time, but if there is any dereliction of duty, the imperial court will definitely investigate it to the end and severely punish it! I hope you all know that. ”

"Follow the teachings!"

"Good! Not much to say, now the palace examination has officially begun. The examiner is His Majesty and the widow, the widow will make the questions, you will answer the questions orally, and the winner can be the champion, the list eye and the flower. Those who get the champion can get a piece of the plaque 'champion and the first', and the official worships the school secretary, who serves with the emperor and participates in military aircraft and state affairs; those who get the list can get a bounty of 100 taels, and the official worships the speaker and participates in the state affairs; and the person who gets the flower can get 500 yuan, and the official worships the secretary and waits in the middle of the book, and participates in the national affairs. ”

"Now, the exam has officially begun."

"Please give your own opinions on the battle of the Southern Expedition."

General Shi Min personally led a large army to the south to conquer the Jin Kingdom, which is already a well-known thing. At this time, Shi Min asked them to express their opinions around this topic, which was really a little embarrassing.

Finally, a candidate couldn't help but ask: "King, I don't know if it was right or wrong for the southern expedition launched against the imperial court, or its impact, or how it should fight?" Or win or lose? ”

Hearing this, Shi Min shook his head lightly and said: "There is no right or wrong in war, and the victory or defeat of war is unpredictable. So you just need to point out the far-reaching implications of this issue. ”

At this moment, a Jinshi stood up: "King, I think that the battle of the Jin Dynasty has advantages and disadvantages for my Da Zhao, and specifically, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"First of all, my Zhao country urgently needs an external security environment. The king is in power and implements a new policy that is related to the people's livelihood, but how can he live with the people's livelihood? It is just like the rule of Wenjing, thirty taxes and one, light taxation, not light war, mercy on the world. ”

The scholar continued: "And now, the Yan, Dai, Cheng and other countries have surrendered one after another, and my Zhao State has completed the formal unification of the north, but there is still a big trouble in the south. There is no shortage of people of insight in the Jin people, and it is impossible for them not to understand that once my Great Zhao becomes strong and prosperous, and the comprehensive national strength far exceeds that of their Jin Kingdom, it will be the death period of the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, they will try their best to obstruct our Great Zhao's new policy, just like the weak Shu State repeatedly invaded the powerful Wei State, they just want to maximize the time and development space that is beneficial to themselves. ”

"And what the king thinks is to be one step ahead of others and take the initiative. Only by defeating its elite in a war will the Jin people be frightened, and the Jin Kingdom will not dare to violate our borders. ”

Hearing this, Shi Min bowed his head slightly and said, "Good." What is your name? ”

"Under Wang Zhen!"

"Good. Wang Zhen, the widow wants to ask you, what extent should I do Zhao Guoxing's army to attack Jin today? ”

Hearing this, the young man named Wang Zhen couldn't help frowning, pondered for a long time, and then said: "My lord, I think that this time my army marched south, there is no need to destroy its country, let alone destroy its capital Jiankang, only need to destroy its elite, and then occupy Shouchun, Xiangyang and Fancheng, which are military important places in the Jianghuai area. ”

Shi Min smiled and said: "Wang Zhen, do you know that to do these things in your mouth is tantamount to destroying the Jin Kingdom and breaking the Jiankang of the Jin Kingdom." ”

"King, with all due respect, although my Da Zhao is strong and strong, if I want to destroy the Jin Kingdom, even if it is a soldier who overthrows the country, it is absolutely impossible."

"Zi is so daring!"

Shi Min glanced at Wang Zhen with a little appreciation, and said, "Do you have different opinions?" ”

I listened to a few more people express their opinions, but they were all the same as Wang Zhen, so Shi Min didn't look down on them at all.

In the end, Shi Min asked about some statecraft, or took some famous worms to test everyone, and finally selected the top three among the hundred rao jinshi.

They are the champion Wang Zhen, the list eye Li Yuan, and the flower Zhou Buping. The three of them will cruise around the streets of Yecheng for a week, and then return to their official offices to officially take office.
