back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 643
After Feng Mi was wiped clean, what Lu Chengqi saw was the familiar word - Zhang Zai.

Lu Chengqi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "So it's Zihou, no wonder, no wonder!"

When Wen Yanbo heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered, isn't this "Zihou" Zhang Zai!This is strange, isn't he given the same background as a Jinshi, and was granted the title of secretary and provincial editor? Why did he still come to take the imperial examination?But when he thought about it, he understood.It is not an honor, but a shame, for a great Confucian like Zhang Zai to be appointed secretary and provincial editor without even an inch of fame.Even if Zhang Zai's character is well-cultivated, he can stand cynicism, envy and jealousy, but his disciples, the students he leads can't stand it!Over time, the pressure will naturally come.So it is very likely that Zhang Zai did not take the test for himself, but for his disciples and students.

Seeing Wen Yanbo's strange expression, Lu Chengqi also knew what he was thinking, sighed, and then said slowly: "I didn't ask Zihou before, so I forced him to be a secretary and provincial editor. Repair some textbooks, so as to educate the people. But he has a stubborn temper and refuses to say anything. He is afraid that after I set a precedent, the country’s selection of talents will be unfair. In the past two years, he has not taken any salary and returned it intact. As for editing, he has spared no effort and has been working on it. Earlier, he told me that he would take a month off, saying that he was going back to his hometown to deal with some things. I thought something happened to his family, but I never thought that he was going back to his hometown. I went to take the exam. This son is a good candidate for his talent, learning and temperament, but unfortunately he is too stubborn and doesn't know how to be flexible. That's all, I also said that this secretary and provincial editor is reserved for him. It’s a good thing to be in high school.”

In fact, there is one thing that Lu Chengqi didn't say, why did Zhang Zai get the first place?Hehe, he stole the paper itself from Zhang Zai. At most, he changed the beginning and the end, and almost changed the soup without changing the medicine.If Zhang Zai can't get a good ranking in such a paper, his reputation in history will be in vain.However, Lu Chengqi would not say this if he was killed.This is not only about Zhang Zai's suspected "fraud", but also Lu Chengqi's accumulated reputation may be destroyed in one go.Think about it, Enke is actually the emperor colluding with the examiner to cheat, how shocking and destructive this is to the fairness of the imperial examination!Lu Chengqi could predict that if the news got out, not only he, but even Zhang Zai would be unable to turn over.

"As for fairness, isn't there a palace test? Hey, the three-level test is good. You can cheat once, and you can cheat twice. When it comes to the palace test, why can't the ponytail be exposed?" Lu Chengqi made up his mind, the questions of the palace test, Whatever you say, you have to do it yourself.Fortunately, the palace examination is only for one day, and there is only one policy question.In the Four Books and Five Classics, it should not be difficult to find some sentences that conform to your own political ideas and turn them into titles.

Wen Yanbo didn't know that in just that moment, Lu Chengqi had thousands of thoughts in his head, and he was still waiting for the little emperor to confirm the ranking in the tribute test, so that he could post the imperial list and announce it to the world!
"Your Majesty, Zhang Zai is a great talent, known throughout the world. The reputation of Guan Xue is resounding all over the country. There is no objection to listing him as the provincial leader. However, the rest of the candidates are also waiting for His Majesty's official ranking, so that they can post the imperial list and announce The world!" Wen Yanbo couldn't help reminding Lu Chengqi who was in a daze.

Lu Chengqi came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "It should be so. It's just that there are so many papers, how can I tear them up by myself? Come on!"

Gao Hao hurriedly bowed and entered the Chuigong Hall: "Your Majesty, the little one is here!"

"Find some people to tear off these seals together." Lu Chengqi, who was used to bossing around, ordered lightly, "By the way, bring tea to Wenqing along the way."This is also one of the things he has learned. If you are too polite, these courtiers will not take your words seriously.Therefore, to be an emperor, a high-ranking person, you must have unquestionable authority, and you must do what you say.As time passed, even to these servants, Lu Chengqi spoke like this.

Gao Hao didn't doubt that he was there, so he quickly said "Zunzhi", and summoned a dozen servants outside the hall, and after they worked together to tear off Feng Mi, they ranked according to Division A and Division B, respectfully. Pass it to Lu Chengqi respectfully.This process is nothing to say, but it took these people a cup of tea time to barely finish it.The efficiency of this work is still fast. If Lu Chengqi did it himself, he might not be able to arrange it tonight.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the little ones have already settled the matter." Gao Hao reported respectfully.

Lu Chengqi calmly put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Put it on the table, you all should leave!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the servants all retreated, Lu Chengqi slowly picked up the papers and checked them one by one.It is naturally impossible to check these more than 500 papers one by one. Lu Chengqi has his own method.To put it bluntly, it's not unusual, it's just a spot check.Lu Chengqi first carefully read the test papers and policy questions of the top ten, and then read the last paper.A few more papers were drawn in the middle, mainly to see if there was a big discrepancy in the judging criteria.In fact, this subjective question mainly depends on how the examiner evaluates it. Anyone can say something about the truth.As for another criterion, it is naturally literary talent.

Lu Chengqi checked it carefully, felt that there was no major problem, and praised: "Wenqing is really serious and responsible. I am very satisfied with Enke this time!" Lu Chengqi was referring to the fact that so many people were taken away. Participating in the palace examination means that many people can become tenth-rank officials, and there is no need to worry about the impact of the supervision department's removal of those dirty officials.This Wen Yanbo understands the holy will, but he is a talent.Coupled with the development of Jiangnan, more talents are needed, and Lu Chengqi still thinks that the [-] people are a little less.However, the official department should still have some Jilu officials, that is, rank officials. It is not a way for the court to spend money to support these people.No, the development of Jiangnan just happened to be useful.

After Lu Chengqi made up his mind, he noticed the list in the tribute trial, and he couldn't help being surprised.With his historical knowledge, Enke has actually won a lot of great people this time.Among them, provincial test No.2, who do you guess?Su Shi's younger brother, Su Zhe and Su Ziyou are also!Su Zhe, one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties was included in his talent pool, how can Lu Chengqi be unhappy!
As a reborn person, Lu Chengqi also has a celebrity plot.Perhaps these celebrities are somewhat different from those recorded in history.But it is undeniable that those who can be recorded in the annals of history are some top talents.Like Enke this time, in addition to Zhang Zai and Su Zhe, there are also Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong (one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties), Lv Dajun (a disciple of Zhang Zai, and the master and apprentice are in the same subject, which has become a good story), Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dun, Zhang Heng, Li Shizhong, Cai Que, Zhong Er...

Anyway, almost all the great talents in the world were caught in one go.The more Lu Chengqi looked at it, the more excited he became, and the more he felt that Dashun Zhongxing was not far away, so he said forgetfully: "The talents of the world are in my heart!"

Wen Yanbo heard the strings and knew the elegance, and said quickly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have won the world's talents!"
