Hearing this, Xiao Zhang took a serious look.

"Well, this article is mainly about businessmen, I read the article that he would try, and I thought he would choose the land aspect, but before you said that his family was originally a famous merchant in Jiannan Province, so it's no wonder that he started from here. ”

After a quick sweep, Xiao Zhang was a little similar, and then his brows began to wrinkle slightly.

There are some similarities between his views and Wang Xiang's proposal for the City Change Law, but compared to Wang Xiang's idea of setting up a City Change Division to be strengthened by the imperial court, his ideas are more free in comparison. ”

The old eunuch said humbly: "Taizu ordered that officials are not allowed to interfere in politics, not to mention that the old slave can't even recognize all the words, so what will he know about the major affairs of the imperial court." However, this time, the official family only plans to select some reserve talents, whether it is correct or not is not too important, and there will be a period of time before they really start to do things, and the official family can train them well during this period. ”

The old eunuch did not comment directly, and as soon as the topic changed, it moved on to other aspects.

"That's right," Xiao Zhang smiled, flipped through the test papers handed over at random, and had a rough idea in his heart, and then ordered, "In that case, then reseal these test papers and send them to Wen Lao and Wang Xiang." ”

There was only one essay in the palace examination, and naturally it was reviewed very quickly, and within two days, the three hundred test papers had already been arranged.

The rest are the most difficult to decide.

"Wen Xiang, you still need to have an idea on how to dispose of these test papers. ”

Shen Yun pointed to the few test papers sent back by Emperor Xiao Zhang, and said softly.

"What kind of idea you take, of course, it is ranked according to the quality of the level. ”

Wang Jiefu said disapprehantly.

Although the others seem noncommittal, they have some thoughts in their hearts.

Those who have already entered the imperial eye, if they are rashly ranked, it will be a big trouble if they are not accepted by the emperor at that time.

Wen Yuan looked tepid, and said lightly: "I don't know what Wang Xiangyi wants, which article can be called Kui Yuan?"

"This article, of course. Although facing the seniors of officialdom, this time Wang Jiefu did not give in and handed over an exam paper, "In my opinion, this article is the most suitable topic." ”

This article is a copy that Emperor Xiao Zhang transferred back.

What is being expounded is also the advocacy of a new law.

Although the emperor did not make any comments, everyone is an expert in officialdom, and the emperor's tendency has long been seen from the questions of the palace examination.

When Wang Jiefu was the president, he left Chen Fusheng in second place, this time as Wen Yuan's deputy, there was also a young man on it, but he strongly recommended this one, which seems to be contradictory, but there are traces to follow.

will try to be the number one, if he clicks on Chen Fusheng's article, it will inevitably make people think that he is willing to give up according to his feelings, and even Chen Fusheng's reputation will be damaged.

This is also the most common way to avoid suspicion.

However, when it came to the palace examination, the emperor became the chief examiner on the bright side, and there was a Wen Yuan with far more qualifications than him above him, so he could let go of his hands and feet, and no one would suspect that he was going to form a party for personal gain.

Wen Yuan took it and finished reading it, raised his head, and saw that everyone in the room was looking at him, and couldn't help laughing: "How many thoughts do you have in your hearts, why are you all looking at me?"

Xie Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said with a smile: "Your old man has been recognized as the leader of the literary world since twenty years ago, and he is also a trusted minister of the first emperor, and he has been an official in the court for nearly fifty years, of course everyone wants to see what your evaluation is." ”

Wen Yuan smiled, put down the test paper and said noncommittally: "I see that although this article is also promoting the new law, but the opinions are a little different, why do you want to name it in the middle of the mountain?"

"Although I think that the old system should be changed, I also don't think that my political views are perfect, and there is no omission. Wang Jiefu said, "If the other party just blindly promotes the new law but doesn't know why, I naturally won't choose him as the first name, but this article obviously has something to say, and there are some things that even I don't know very well. ”

Of course, there was another reason, although he didn't say it, but everyone present still guessed it.

The word Jiannan appears in this test paper, and the author himself obviously has an in-depth understanding of Shang Jia's affairs.

And these officials have long known the backgrounds of several tribute students who have emerged in the examination, and this test paper is clearly from Chen Fusheng's hand.

Obviously, Wang Jiefu suppressed Chen Fusheng in the meeting, otherwise, this vision alone would be enough to win a huiyuan.

And now he clearly wants to make up for it.

Wen Yuan touched his gray beard, looked at Wang Jiefu calmly, and also took out a test paper from it, and said slowly: "The upper medicine heals the country, the Chinese medicine heals the people, and the lower medicine heals the sick." This article is novel but mellow and elegant, and I think the choice of first place is truly worthy of its name. ”

Hearing this, everyone gathered around to look down.

As the examiner of the palace examination, everyone is knowledgeable, so they can naturally distinguish the advantages and disadvantages.

This article is indeed worthy of the evaluation of a medical doctor, Gongsheng compares Daqi to the human body, and the two questions raised by Xiao Zhang are regarded by him as two diseases on the patient's body.

At present, the body is in the peak period of spring and autumn, and the effects of these two places are not obvious, but with the gradual decline of the body, the disease will become more rampant, and it is necessary to prevent it in advance.

Of course, what satisfies Xie Song, Shen Yun and others the most is that this article clearly points out that the old system is like the internal organs that a human body carries from birth, and these two diseases are also brought from the root.

In the same way, how to treat these two problems must not be drastically drastic, but should be like peeling off the cocoon to calm down and slowly figure it out.

If you are sick, you can use medicine to regulate your body and strengthen your foundation, can you still take off the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys and replace them?

This is the core argument of the article, followed by a solution for the examinee like a prescription.

It is no wonder that Wen Yuan, as the leader of the old party, will be very interested in this article.

Since the opinions of the two leaders are not the same, the horses under his command naturally have to take the lead.

It's just that now that Wen Yuan is in charge personally, with his profound background and qualifications, the old party still successfully suppressed the opposition of the Wang party.

However, Wen Yuan did not participate in it, and he had been closing his eyes since he threw out the test paper, and when the quarrel was white-hot, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Wang Jiefu, and closed the coffin.

"In the middle of the mountain, the left and right are finally determined by His Majesty, so we will submit these two articles at the same time, let's just say that these two articles, whether it is the idea, the writing, or the skills, are all bright for a while, and it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, so I respectfully ask the Holy Judge. ”
