Kong Yingda looked at Di Renjie and explained solemnly: "Although the imperial examination is for the country to select talents, it also implies screening. Every candidate who comes here is for fame, for getting ahead, and in layman's terms, for being an official. ”

"But the imperial imperial examination is not passed by everyone, but there is selection, and the number of people to be hired by the imperial court every year is limited. Can you understand what the official said? ”

Di Renjie suddenly realized, "My lord is saying that if you let students in the exam at this time, you are competing with others for official places, which is unfair to them, after all, students are late and are not qualified to enter again, and their competitors will be one less." ”

"If a student passes the exam, it means that one person will lose the opportunity."

"So, you mean you can let me in without exception, provided that I only take the exam and not the rankings?"

Kong Yingda laughed and said, "Smell one and know ten, it's good!" You're really smart, that's exactly what this official meant. ”

The examiner next to him and Liu Jinyuan were puzzled: "My lord, if that's the case, then what's the point of him going in for the exam?" ”

Kong Yingda smiled and said to Di Renjie: "Child, what do you think? ”

The corners of Di Renjie's mouth curved slightly, "Of course it makes sense." That is, I have participated in the imperial examination, and the next time I participate in it, I will not be late, and I will not be timid. It's a great opportunity to practice. ”

"Hehe, smart!" Kong Yingda did not hesitate to appreciate, "Then are you willing?" ”

Di Renjie nodded heavily, "Thank you, my lord, the student is willing." Originally, I didn't participate in the imperial examination to be an official, after all, how could anyone become an official at the age of ten? Hehe, I didn't expect an accidental lateness, but it was a good thing. ”

"By the way, what if a student wins the top spot in the exam? Will you force me to join the company? ”

Kong Yingda laughed and said, "You have a good tone. Is it so easy to get a champion? Don't worry, even if you get the first place in the exam, this official will not embarrass you. ”

"Thank you, sir, the student is in." Di Renjie was about to go inside happily.

"Hey, wait, I haven't done a search yet. Rules cannot be abolished. Liu Jinyuan stopped him and took the initiative to bring him in.

Kong Yingda looked at the lively Di Renjie, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, like an old fox.

The examiner next to him was puzzled: "My lord, this is a student of Master Hou, so I can't really get the first place." When the time comes, the champion will not be an official? Isn't it a joke? ”

Kong Yingda smiled: "At that time, it will not be under the care of the old man." The champion is appointed by His Majesty, and it is not the old man's decision, we only care about the imperial examination room, the examination papers, and how the court selects and employs people in the end, which is the matter of His Majesty and the officials. ”

Burst......

So, you were fooling that kid just now?

Gee...... Ginger is still old and spicy. (Phew!) An old fox. ）

At the same time, the candidates who got the test papers in the examination room were scolding their mothers one by one, what kind of exam questions are these? How is it different from what I bought? Phew, I mean, it's different from what I'm used to learning?

The initial examination and the township examination are all about knowledge, why do you have to take the exam but take these messy tests? If that's the case, then why do I learn so many classics? Isn't it just literacy to do such a question?

……

Some people are happy and some are sad, for example, Li Chengqian is very happy, and his brother-in-law is smart. Put the exam questions like this, no wonder he said that he can level everyone's academic level, amazing! Ren Wu's surname and Qiwang racked their brains and couldn't figure it out, and the final test of the imperial examination was practical cases such as case judgment, personnel, production and operation.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but be very grateful that he had two good teachers, Xiao Rui, the questioner, and the prince Fu Zhao Deyan, who helped him prepare for the exam, only relied on one puzzle: the dragons have no leader! can guess that the exam questions are within the three provinces and six departments, hehe, this imperial examination is so fully prepared for the exam, it is impossible to say that you can't get the champion.

Compared with Li Chengqian, Li Tai, the fourth prince with the pseudonym Li Wei, was much more miserable, at this time, his confident face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he kept cursing in his mouth: "I guessed that you would find another way not to test the scriptures, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing, and actually test these trivial things?" Bah! If you hadn't seen through some preparation in advance, you would have almost been calculated. ”

"Is my father old and confused, how did these exam questions pass the review?"

He didn't know that Xiao Rui's exam questions were not made at random, and to explain those co-authors, he only used one sentence: "Datang is in urgent need of talents, so it is important to be practical!" In the future, the imperial court will assign the titles of these candidates' gold lists. It is better to have one question for each of the six departments of the three provinces, county officials, etc., and one question for each of the six departments, and one question for each of the common affairs of the county and county, so that you can know who is usable and who is unusable. ”

Everyone wanted to insist on using the sage's scriptures to refute, but Xiao Rui said again, "The sage's words are righteous, and the purpose of passing down the scriptures is to teach future generations to do things and apply what they have learned!" If you don't use it, then even if you are rich and know countless truths, you are just a nerd who knows how to read, except for wasting food, what use does the court want? ”

In a word, I almost scolded all these people, so everyone didn't look at me, I looked at you, and they all nodded in agreement. No one wants to be classified as a waste by Hou Ye.

Of course, everyone admires it in their hearts, Hou Ye's move has found a new way, but it has greatly facilitated the selection of talents for the country, and it can eliminate mediocre talents and waste materials, and lower the threshold for materials, but it has facilitated the imperial court to identify talented and talented people, which should be regarded as a progressive strategy to eliminate the disadvantages of the imperial examination.

The Yunzhong led by Wang Jishan smiled, and as expected, Xiao Rui really didn't test the scriptures.

Li Jingren from Liangzhou also smiled, "Hehe, if I really take the test of the classics, I am still worried that my scribbled handwriting will hinder the view and I will not be able to take it." But you rely on me to judge cases, handle the relationship between the government and the people, maintain local law and order, solve border defense problems, etc., this is simply a tailor-made exam question for me! ”

"I have followed Second Brother Xue for three years, and what I have learned is these skills that have been applied to the world. Haha, watch me win the first place and go back, and give Second Brother Xue a surprise. ”

Xiao Rui's mountain bandit student Xia Huairen was originally nervous, but after reading the exam questions, he was dumbfounded, and said in his heart that this is the exam question? No way? In the first literacy test, I barely passed the crooked writing. Excerpts from the classics of the township examination, I will pass the line...... I thought I'd try to make up the numbers.

Can...... But if it's a question, I seem to be able to answer it.

has been a mountain bandit for many years, and has been doing business in the city, giving gifts and climbing relationships, what door Lao Tzu doesn't know? Ahem...... Slip of the tongue, Xia Ye is not a mountain bandit now, and he can't answer with the original set. Well...... I will think about it seriously, but I can't answer the wrong answer, otherwise the court will definitely say when it sees it: This person named Xia Huairen is full of dirt, even if he becomes an official, he will be a big corrupt official in the future!

……

On the side of the women's examination room, Wu Zhao, who was originally full of confidence, frowned into a Sichuan character, and complained in his mouth: "I should have thought that he would not give any special to the students of Xiaojiazhuang, and the exam questions would not be in the library building." Alas...... It's a pity that I only cared about reading books and rarely attended lectures. ”

She has no confidence to win the champion, after all, she is not from a good background, she was ignorant when she was a child, although she has been sensible in the past few years, she has been locked up at home, rarely goes out to contact affairs, and naturally does not have much experience in dealing with problems.

The corners of Xiao Changle's mouth not far away were slightly curved, "Hehe, this princess has been riding a big cat around the world since she was less than ten years old, what scene have you never seen?" Isn't it easy to deal with these issues? ”

Xiao Rui's wife, Wei Yanran, also smiled, "Husband is really good, he can always surprise." Thankfully, I had worked with him on the Northeast Frontier in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to answer these questions. ”

……

Di Renjie, who was late, also got the exam paper, but after reading it, he couldn't help laughing, "That's it?" I knew that the test questions were so simple, so I wouldn't have come, it wouldn't delay my reading! ”

Mad! is worthy of Xiao Rui's students, not a little crazy!
