After the monarch and ministers discussed matters such as the prisoners of Liao, Shang Shuchai of the Ministry of Rites entered and exited the column.

"Your Majesty, the Spring Festival in March that you decided before has basically ended, and this imperial examination, plus scholars from the Song Kingdom, Liao State and other places, has a total of more than 18,000 candidates, and more than 1,200 people have been admitted. ”

"In addition, two hundred tributes participated in the palace examination, which was presided over by the queen mother and the crown prince, with the two prime ministers on the left and right as the main examiners, and officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials as invigilators, which ended five days ago!"

While speaking, Chai Jin took out a stack of exam papers and said: "The two prime ministers on the left and right have made a preliminary ranking of the new science and technology scholars, but the top three have not yet been selected, and you need to decide, Your Majesty!"

Lin Nuo nodded, and selected three of the exam papers handed over by Chai Jin, which in his opinion were quite satisfactory.

The topic of this palace examination was also set by Lin Nuo before, and the topic was "Unification of the World".

Most of the candidates, perhaps because they did not understand the military strength of the cadres, chose a cautious and conservative policy in their answers.

Most of the content is to find allies, low-key development strategies, or unite the Song State, or unite the Liao State, although there is some truth, but it is very time-consuming.

After all, Lin Nuo has been farming in Liangshanbo for seven years, and if he continues to farm and develop, it will be too delayed.

And the three-point answer sheet selected by Lin Nuo gave him a bright feeling.

The content of these three answer sheets is actually similar in meaning, and they all adopt the strategy of taking the initiative to attack, first recapturing the sixteen states of Yanyun, and then destroying Liao with Jin and occupying the vast territory in the north.

In their arguments, the Song State was good at defending but not attacking, and the courtiers were compromising and conservative, and if the Great Cadres went to war with the Liao State, the Song State would not only not send troops, but would even be happy to see it choose to watch from the sidelines.

This is an opportunity for the Great Qianguo, as long as the Liao State can be destroyed, the situation in the world can basically be clear, even if the world cannot be unified, it can also be divided into two parts of the world with the Song Dynasty.

As for the Western Xia and Jin Kingdoms, there is not much discussion in the three-point examination papers, and these two kingdoms are basically ignored.

There is no way, the time of Jin Guoguo is not long before Daqian, and it is said that the environment there is harsh, the population is sparse, it is said to be a country, but it is more like a large tribe, even if it defeats the Liao State in the decisive battle for the founding of the country, the candidates subconsciously think that it is just a fluke and take advantage of the carelessness of the high-level of the Liao State!

Not only do the candidates think so, but almost the whole world thinks so, and even even the Liao State, which has suffered defeat, there are many high-level people who still think that it is not difficult for the Jin State to be destroyed!

It's okay that Jin Guo is not taken seriously, but Western Xia is also not taken seriously, in Lin Nuo's opinion, this is somewhat interesting.

The Liao State despised the Song State, and the Song State despised the Western Xia, and this layer of contempt chain also clearly divided the military strength of several major countries.

In the end, among the three examination papers, Lin Nuo chose the most detailed one and made it the champion, and the remaining two were pointed out as the list and the flower.

After the top three were selected, Lin Nuo took the time to check the names of the three people.

The champion is named Zong Ze, the list is named Liu Anshi, and as for Tanhua, it is called Li Gang.

To be honest, Lin Nuo didn't know any of these three people, but after looking at the expressions of the courtiers below, he suddenly felt that it seemed that these three people had some origins.

Without waiting for Lin Nuo to ask, Zhu Wu hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a piece of information, and after Lin Nuo raised his hand to take it, he carefully checked it.

I have to say that these three people are really awesome, each of them is from the Song Kingdom, and they are all from Jinshi, and they all have official positions in the Song Kingdom, but they didn't expect to run to the Great Qianguo Middle School and participate in the imperial examination again.

"Your Majesty, these three people are friends of Mr. Huang Shang, and they were invited by Mr. Huang Shang to choose to be loyal to His Majesty. However, these three people are a little stubborn, and they are unwilling to become officials through nepotism, and they have to take the imperial examination again, and the ministers have no choice but to acquiesce!" Zhu Wu explained.

"Good!"

Lin Nuo nodded with satisfaction, "With such meritocracy, there is no need to make them wait any longer...... It is proposed to canonize Zong Ze as the squire of the military department, Li Gang as the head of the military department, and Liu Anshi as the doctor of the imperial history platform, and go to the post on the same day!"

To tell the truth, the leaders of Liangshanbo are okay to let them go to the battlefield to lead the troops to fight, but in terms of talents who can govern the country, there are still too few.

In this imperial examination, three virtuous talents were excavated in a row, and Lin Nuo was also in a very good mood, and nodded with a smile at Huang Shang, who was standing silently on the side, but it was a pity that this old man, standing there was like falling asleep, and there was no response at all.

Lin Nuo is not annoyed, although this old man is a little stubborn, but at least he has begun to be willing to do things for the Great Qianguo, no matter what, this is a good sign.

This imperial examination was divided into liberal arts and martial arts, and the top three courtiers in liberal arts did not dare to decide on their own, but handed it over to Lin Nuo to make the final judgment.

As for the martial arts, it is very simple, who is strong and who is weak at a glance, among the courtiers, like Lu Junyi, Lin Chong and others, most of them are masters, and they can also cut off the possibility of cheating in the examination room, so they directly after the end of the martial arts, they selected the martial champion and the list of eyes and Tanhua.

In this regard, Lin Nuo nodded indifferently, he actually didn't attach much importance to martial arts, after all, his current Great Qian Dynasty has a large number of generals, and there is really no shortage of generals.

It's just that when he saw the name of the martial champion, Lin Nuo's eyes suddenly froze, and the whole person was slightly stunned.

Yue Fei!

These two big characters really surprised Lin Nuo's expectations, no matter what, he didn't expect that just one imperial examination would attract even future military strategists, strategists, and national heroes such as Yue Fei.

"Your Majesty, although this Yue Fei is less than thirty years old, whether it is martial arts or military strategy, he is the best choice, even Zhu Wucheng is amazed by his military talent, if this kind of talent can be sharpened on the battlefield for a few years, it will definitely become the pillar of my great cadres!"

This is Lu Junyi's evaluation of Yue Fei, which can be said to be highly respected, and it can be praised so strongly by a congenital master, which shows that Yue Fei is indeed extremely good in terms of military talent.

For Yue Fei's ability, Lin Nuo is still very confident.

In history, the Jin State wiped out more than 100,000 elite troops of the Liao State with 10,000 or 20,000 troops, and then became stronger and stronger, first destroying the Liao, and then destroying the Song Dynasty, driving the Song Dynasty to the south of the Yangtze River, and establishing an extremely large Dajin Empire.

But it is the Jin State with such a strong military strength, but in the hands of Yue Fei, it is a series of defeats, he destroyed the city all the way, and regained the lost territory one after another, if it were not for the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Court to forcibly recall him with twelve gold medals, the Jin State would really be destroyed in his hands!

Even such characters have entered the Great Qianguo, Lin Nuo feels that the time to dominate the world has come!
