Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 305 Top Three

Zong Xi carefully read the two paragraphs of materials given, and he already understood in his heart what this policy theory was about.

The first paragraph of material comes from the masterpiece "Zuo Zhuan·Chenggong Four Years" in the Spring and Autumn Period.

This paragraph mainly criticizes that the Chu State at that time was not a member of the Huaxia tribe and was not worthy of trust.It is believed that although the land of Chu is large, it is not enough to compare with the state of etiquette in the Central Plains.

The second paragraph comes from the "Wu Du Fu" in the parallel prose Han Fu "Sandu Fu" written by Zuo Si, a writer of the Western Jin Dynasty.

"The root of the overlord, the foundation of the founding" in the article is enough to explain the author's attitude towards the old place of Chu.

At this time, in Zuo Si's eyes, Jiangnan is no longer the land of barbarians in "Zuo Zhuan", but the land of emperors who can become the foundation of eternal life.

Facing the land of old Chu, people's ideas have changed.

From "Although Chu is big, it is not my race, its heart must be different" to "the foundation of the founding of the country".Zongxi's wisdom can naturally see what this transformation means.

This point can be seen, and Zongxi can naturally understand what it means to go further.

"The Son of Heaven is not asking about the state of Chu, but about the Hu people!"

Thinking of this, Zongxi's face was a little unnatural.

He is from Nanyang.

Nanyang is the gateway of Jingzhou, and it is a place that military strategists must contend for.Since ancient times, it has been a fertile land with rich resources.It is conceivable what kind of wars will be experienced here in the troubled times.

In fact, it didn't take long for Nanyang to return to the rule of the Han Dynasty, so the people in places like Nanyang have long learned how to get along with the Hu people correctly.

Kill them all?

Certainly not!

Zongxi clearly remembered that when he was a child, there was a village next door that hated the barbarians very much. Whenever a barbarian passed by, he would lure him into the village and kill him.

Later things came to light and the village was razed to the ground.

Then everyone hated the barbarian even more, another village attacked and killed the barbarian, the barbarian came to massacre the village again, and there was another village...

Let him oppress?

That's even worse!

Hu people are like wild beasts. Once you put down the weapon to protect yourself, you will lose the last thing that can make the other party afraid, and you can only wait for the other party to bully you even more ferociously.

How did the local people in Nanyang live?

Zongxi took a deep breath, and wrote three large characters on the top of the test paper with firm eyes——

"Governing Hu Policy".

"The Hu people are cunning and cruel, but they are also deceitful and fearful. The current plan is to use kindness and power together."

"..."

Zong Xi's pen tip moved faster and faster, no longer the obscurity when answering medical questions before, but writing smoother and smoother, and all the strategies in his chest came out on the paper.

Hu people are untrustworthy, but they cannot be killed.

Stop fighting with martial arts, educate with culture!
In this way, it can be a surefire policy!

"Jingle bell! Jingle bell!"

When the two-hour answer time was over, Zong Xi also dropped the last word in a sense of loss.

"This is what Zongxi said in his heart, but I don't know if it can meet the emperor's intention..."

But I have no regrets. After more than a month of closed-door study, Zongxi was finally able to go out and enjoy the prosperity of Jinling. Therefore, he put aside all the questions he had answered and invited a few like-minded doctors and friends to go together. Visit the banks of the Qinhuai River.

The papers of these doctors were sent to the Ministry of Officials for review.

There are only a thousand papers, and the previous medical questions have standard answers, so it is very quick to read.

But everyone knows that the most important thing is the last policy theory.

The emperor himself wanted to take the answer sheet and called three senior officials to come and review the last question. This honor made all the officials who knew the inside story gasp.

Today, it seems that it is really going to change!

In the east hall of the Taiji Hall, the emperor is at the top, and a thick stack of test papers is placed on the table.

Sitting under him were Wang Xiu, Xu Xianzhi, Wang Hong, Xie Hui, and Fu Liang, and there were also stacks of test papers on their desks.

When Liu Yizhen took a test paper and read the last policy theory question, his face kept showing a look of surprise and surprise.

Choosing a doctor as the first test product seems to be the right choice.

Because of the particularity of this profession, doctors can easily cross the first threshold... Literacy!
Knowledge in this era is still quite closed, and because of the monopoly of the aristocratic family, the threshold for studying is quite high, which blocks 90.00% of the people except the aristocratic family.

And doctors are exactly one percent of the neglected ones.

And by the way, it can also eliminate the aristocratic family!
Without him, who would choose to be a poor, tired and statusless doctor in the aristocratic family except for a few weird ones?

In this way, the doctors who answered these questions were almost all from poor families, except for a few aristocratic children who arranged to fish in troubled waters, which was very in line with the interests of the emperor and the court.

Also.

Because many of these doctors came from the north, they had more contact with Hu people, and brought up many blind spots that even Liu Yizhen hadn't thought of. This will undoubtedly be of great help to the future implementation of the strategy of Han and Hu.

"Unexpectedly, among the doctors, there are also people with discernment!"

Not only Liu Yizhen, the emperor, was pleasantly surprised, but also Wang Xiu, a capable official who had dealt with the Han and Hu issues in charge of the government, was also deeply inspired.

Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang are the people who have the least direct interests, so they can review the test papers with a normal heart. Even the two are convinced by some points in the theory, and sighed: "The ancients said that three people must have my teacher. Yan. Sincerely don’t deceive me!”

The most absent-minded ones were Wang Hong and Xie Hui.

From the time the emperor decided to personally review the policy theory, they knew that this was the emperor showing his fangs to the family politics.

But they couldn't stop it...

In the end, ten test papers were selected as the top ten of the exam.

Because there are no names, the emperor and others can easily see the names of these people.

In addition, Liu Yizhen had been to the doctor's hospital to check out the spots early on, so he already knew the origins of these people.

Seven out of ten people are serious doctors, including Zongxi who Liu Yizhen has been paying attention to.

There are three more...

It is a family embroidered pillow.

"This is the top three in this assessment, Zhu Qing, see if there are any objections?"

Naturally, the emperor ranked next, but everyone frowned when they saw the final ranking.

The three descendants of the aristocratic family are actually the top three!
Both Wang Xiu and Xu Xianzhi frowned, feeling displeased.

They have read the articles of these three people, even among thousands of doctors, they can only be regarded as the middle class.I thought that being in the top ten was already a gift from the emperor, but unexpectedly, the emperor was directly placed in the top three?
This hit the face of the court and the emperor!
But Liu Yizhen looked at Wang Hong without waiting for the two to raise objections, and first asked his opinion: "What does Wang Shangshu think?"

Now Xu Xianzhi shut his mouth decisively, knowing that he couldn't come out at this time.

The same is true for Wang Xiu, who reacted immediately when Liu Yizhen asked Wang Hong, and kept silent.

Wang Hong, who was suffering on the stove, also saw the emperor's intention at this moment, and lowered his head bitterly.

"I... have no objection!"
