In the evening, the lights in the Jiying Hall were bright, and the scholars who had handed in the test papers sat quietly in their positions, eating and drinking carefully, trying not to make a sound.

In the apse, Xue Ji and Zou Yinglong, as well as the following officials, arranged them in order according to the answer sheets, put them on the table, and waited for Zhao Hong to read them in person.

Zhao Hong began to flip through them, tirelessly and seriously.

Xue Ji, Zou Yinglong and the others looked at the emperor carefully, and they could only sit and wait. The emperor attaches great importance to the selection of talents for the country, how can they be lazy.

"This Zhao Ruteng is a child of the clan, right?"

Zhao Hong handed the question in his hand to Zou Yinglong on the side.

The article is written in a dazzling manner, but there is no livelihood at all, it seems to be full of flowers, but it is actually a pile of shit.

Flashy and whitewashed. Da Song, is it as good as he said?

"Back to Your Majesty, this Zhao Ruteng is from Quanzhou, a descendant of Taizong, and a disciple of the clan."

Zou Yinglong was well-read and remembered strongly, and hurriedly replied softly.

New Emperor New School. The fact that the Son of Heaven could sit in front of him really flattered him.

"The children of the clan, they don't know the sufferings of the people, and their literary talents are flying, but it's a pity that they are flashy and unrealistic, and they don't have the slightest way to govern the country and the country, and they are ranked last in the second class."

Zhao Hong shook his head, put the test paper in his hand aside, and picked up a test paper again and looked at it.

“…… The official position is redundant, the military is not refined, think deeply about the art of saving the malpractice, and reduce the number of guards who are over 40 years old and slightly not in the middle range, please accept; Every year of the selection of the forbidden army has not been allowed to fight the reduction of the small points, the selection of the road small points under the age of forty to win the first class, promoted to the big points, forty-five has been willing to listen to the people; Each garrison has a general and an adjutant general, who is specially responsible for the training of the generals and soldiers in preparation for the ...... of the troops."

The corners of Zhao Hong's mouth rose slightly. This candidate, Li Angying, seems to have some understanding of the new policy and the method of military training implemented on Jiangnan East Road.

"This person, there is something interesting."

Zhao Hong pointed to Li Angying's test paper, which was meaningful.

"Your Majesty, Li Angying is a native of Panyu, Guangdong. In his early years, he was trained by Cui and Cui Laogong, majoring in "Spring and Autumn", and he was very talented. ”

Xue Ji added on the side.

It turned out to be Cui He's protégé, no wonder he had some skills. majoring in "Spring and Autumn", is it related to the national economy and people's livelihood?

"Ma Guangzu ......"

Looking at the name on the test paper, Zhao Hong couldn't help but be stunned.

The honest candidate who wrote the poem in the morning seems to be called Ma Guangzu.

"Your Majesty, Ma Guangzu is a native of Dongyang, Zhejiang, a local wealthy family, who once studied under Zhendexiu Zhengong. Heroic generosity, some talent! ”

Seeing that Zhao Hong frowned, as if asking, Xue Ji hurriedly said.

The emperor is young and energetic, and after reading so many test papers, no matter how big or small, he is really young and strong, which is enviable.

Ma Guangzu, in history, seems to have such a number one person, and he seems to be an expert in solving cases.

"Some talent! Okay, this person can be a flower explorer! ”

Zhao Hong nodded with satisfaction.

Since this person is talented, then give him a chance to show himself.

Seeing Zhao Hong pick up another test paper, Xue Ji had a headache.

If you look at it this way, when will it be the end?

"The officials meet the wishes, forcibly seize the people's land, build a large number of buildings, indulge in wine, recruit power and bribes, and do everything to ......, the imperial history is so wronged, and Changping is so evenly served, if the nobles can be controlled, then the internal and external Taiwan can be abolished, and it is still a state-owned discipline? Mingjun should eliminate harm for future generations, and should not leave future troubles for future generations. Today, the imperial court is light on Shetai, light on the hundred Sishu Mansion, and the North Division is heavy, and the time of the rush is ......"

Zhao Hong laughed.

This candidate, Hong Tianxi, offended the officials as soon as he came up, but fortunately Zou Yinglong, Zhen Dexiu and others were present. Otherwise, it would have been brushed down a long time ago.

"Your Majesty, I heard that this Hong Tianxi has an upright temperament and often offends people. The ministers knew that His Majesty cherished his talents, so he was listed among the top ten......"

Zhen Deok Xiu said respectfully.

"Really good, well done! This Hong Tianxi, I like it, and he can be the eye of the example! ”

Zhao Hong said with satisfaction.

Everyone was amazed. Tenth to the top of the list, this is really shit luck.

"Idle over the letter tomb drink, take off the sword and kneel forward. will scorch Zhu Hai and persuade Hou Huan. It's a pity that Hou Ying, Han Feizi, and Lu Zhonglian can no longer see such generous and tragic people. ”

Zhao Hong's heart was touched, and he sighed sincerely, and the ministers on the side turned half red.

"The minister hears that justice is in heaven and earth, and it cannot be overwhelmed in a day, so the prime minister is also responsible for those who are clear and decided. However, it is the responsibility of the prime minister to support justice, and the justice of the Lord is the business of the Son of Heaven. If the Son of Heaven encroaches on the power of the prime minister, justice is done. The privy council of the three provinces is called the imperial court ......"

The Son of Heaven is also a place to seek great politics and issue great orders. The decree is not from the Chinese book, and the people of the past called it oblique sealing ink, which is not a prosperous thing. At the beginning of the country, the discipline of the three provinces was very correct, the book made life, the door was reviewed, the book was pursued, and the affairs of the palace were all unified by the prime minister. It was Li Xin who burned the edict of the concubine, Wang Dan...... Then justice begins to be based on it.

…… What a louse, and Your Majesty kissed it. Ministers are more than officials who flatter the will, and the three provinces are more than the houses that carry out documents. I am afraid that justice in the world will be overwhelmed from now on......"

Zhao Hong picked up a policy and looked at it, his face gradually became ugly.

The meaning of this policy is that the power of the imperial court should be attributed to the prime minister, because the prime minister was born for the imperial examination, which represents "justice"; Although the monarch has a noble status and a noble status, he cannot "encroach on the power of the prime minister".

The monarch should rule vertically, pay the prime minister with the ruling power, and pay the Taiwan with the power of supervision. The meaning of this candidate, inside and out, is to oppose him, the emperor's autocratic power, and to ask the scholars and doctors to rule the world together with the king.

Looking at the candidate's name, Zhao Hong couldn't help but be taken aback, and gently put the test paper on the table.

Zhen Dexiu came over, took a look, and was furious.

"Your Majesty, please expel this person from Lin'an City, register it, and never hire him!"

Several other people were shocked, and gathered around together, picking up the test paper and watching.

"This Wang Wen just wants to be in power with the prime minister, and there is no disobedience. Your Majesty has a heart for the whole world, and there is no need to be angry with a madman. ”

"True father, although this son is rebellious, he has never been expelled from the palace test. Really angry, Your Majesty thinks twice! ”

"Your Majesty, you can't be a madman and chill the hearts of the world's scholars!"

The courtiers spoke one after another, and Zhen Dexiu's anger was suspended, and his face looked better.

"It's really angry. The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, so look away. ”

Zhao Hong looked at Zhen Dexiu and said softly.

His teacher, although he has a lot of complaints about the new deal, is still protecting the calf at the critical moment.

As for this Jinshi Wang Wen, what he said is nothing more than being unconventional in the future, otherwise, he would not have written the poem "Rather be a centurion than a scholar" during the palace examination.

Zhao Hong pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"Li Angying is the champion of the two lists, Hong Tianxi is the eye of the list, and Ma Guangzu is the flower. As for this son, the ranking is the last of the two lists, killing his arrogance. ”

He doesn't have anything, Zhen Dexiu's face must be given.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhen Dexiu had no choice but to receive the order, and Xue Ji and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, the emperor still did not act arbitrarily and maintained the law of the imperial court.

Fly camp dogs!

Thinking of what "black and hard" said during the palace exam, Zhao Hong frowned and was secretly worried.

Scholars have been officials for thousands of miles, just to be promoted and make a fortune, and "scholars" have become "scholars", how sad it is!

How difficult it is to change and wash away the bad habits and vices of officialdom!
