Chapter 163
Several people got up after thanking them, and the prime minister replied: "The candidates' grades this time are all good, and we are studying the final ranking."

"Really? Let's take a look." The emperor said happily. This exam was his first since he ascended the throne, and it was a key step in selecting talents for the court. He was naturally looking forward to it.

Several people led the emperor to the case, and took out several test papers for the emperor to review. The emperor looked at them one by one with a smile on his face, and took the papers handed over by the prime minister. Bigger, "This article is well defined, and it is more practical than those rhetoric. Now the country needs such a strategy. Well, not bad!"

The prime minister also laughed, he also thought it was good, he was indeed the number one scholar, but it was different from the other examiners' suggestions, so there was a dispute. Now that the emperor has approved it, then he must be the number one scholar.

The emperor read aloud softly: "The way to govern a country is to enrich the people first. If the people are rich, it is easy to govern, but if the people are poor, it is difficult to govern. You can know why? If the people are rich, the country is safe, and the family is safe. Respecting the gods and fearing crimes is easy to govern. If the people are poor, the country will be endangered and the family will be ignored. Those who regard goodness as a country must first enrich the people and then govern them."

After the emperor finished reading, he paused for a long time, and finally said: "Seeing this theory of the way of governing the country, the way of governing the country must first enrich the people, and I have benefited a lot!"

Several ministers said at the same time: "The ministers are deeply convinced!"

The emperor said: "He must be the number one scholar. The rest of the candidates are left to you to choose, and I will not bother you."

"Respectfully send off the emperor!" After several ministers sent the emperor away, they continued to select other candidates.

Three days later it will be the day when the results will be released. There are countless people waiting at the place where the results will be released. However, most of the candidates will not be crowded there.

Wu Jiafan was changing his clothes in the inn room and was about to go out. He felt that the results of the list should come out at this time. Although he was nervous, he didn't show it on the surface, because Hehua once said that he should be calm when encountering anything, so now he He has learned to treat everything calmly, and even Wu Anhe said that now he is getting more and more confused about what my uncle is thinking.

He went to knock on Wu Anhe's door. After Wu Anhe came out, Wu Jiafan saw the dark circles in the corners of his eyes and teased, "Anhe couldn't sleep because of being nervous, right?"

Wu Anhe said angrily: "Only my uncle can make fun of others like this. Go ask those candidates, which one can sleep?"

Wu Jiafan shook his head and said, "Let's go, the results should come out, let's go and have a look."

Wu Anhe followed him downstairs, thinking that with his uncle's talent, he could definitely be selected.

They waited downstairs for a while, when a young man rushed towards Mingyue Inn, shouting, "I've been elected, I've been elected."

Judging by his appearance, someone must have been selected at Mingyue Inn. The candidates here looked at him excitedly, waiting for him to call out his name. Wu Anhe also looked over eagerly, but Wu Jiafan poured out a cup of tea with a smile Sip it lightly.

The man ran into Mingyue Inn and shouted: "Who is Wu Jiafan, Wu Jiafan won the first prize."

Wu Anhe stood up excitedly, strode up to the man, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to him, and asked again for confirmation: "Is it true that Wu Jiafan won the number one prize?"

"Of course, I was the first to rush over when I saw it. How could I be wrong? Congratulations!" The man saw that he had at least five taels of silver in his hand, and felt that he was extraordinary.

Wu Anhe shook his hands again and again, and said, "You're mistaken, I'm not, Wu Jiafan is my uncle, and he's sitting there." He pointed to the place where Wu Jiafan was sitting.

The man was so calm when he saw that someone won the first prize, and when he looked at this person's demeanor, he was even better than the person in front of him, and said repeatedly: "Congratulations."

After sending off the announcer, the examinees in the inn were extremely disappointed. They only hoped that someone would come to announce the good news.

Wu Jiafan got up and came to the shopkeeper, and put a piece of silver on the counter: "Today, I will pay for all their tea."

The shopkeeper picked up the silver and said respectfully: "Yes, you can go upstairs and rest first. Call me if you need anything, and I will be there whenever you are called."

Wu Jiafan went upstairs, Wu Anhe was about to follow, Wu Jiafan said: "You just wait downstairs, maybe there will be good news from you."

Wu Anhe nodded and stopped. As soon as Wu Jiafan walked up to the second floor, he heard someone shouting, "Wu Anhe won the No. 20 eighth place in the exam."

Wu Jiafan turned around and saw Wu Anhe rushing in front of the visitor, he was overwhelmed with excitement. After Wu Anhe rewarded the visitor, he went upstairs under the jealous eyes of others and came to Wu Jiafan's side. The two looked at each other and smiled.

Back in the room, Wu Jiafan took out the portrait of lotus, and said softly to her: "Lotus, I have already won the number one scholar, as long as I get the title of number one scholar, will I be able to answer your original request, will you be able to answer the question?" Come to me."

Seeing that the person in the portrait didn't respond, his gaze became deep and his voice became even deeper, "No matter what, I will definitely tie you by my side this time."

The people in the painting are still smiling like a spring breeze, which has not changed in the past few years.

Soon the commissioner of the court also came and notified the selected people to prepare for the palace examination a day later.This is an important moment related to their future, as long as they are favored by the emperor, their future will be boundless.

In principle, those who pass the examination are all called Jinshi, and the emperor will finally decide the order of the first champion, the second place, the third candidate, and the top seven of the second class.

On the Golden Luan Hall, all the candidates who were selected were arranged in order according to their rankings.Now they are Jinshi, all of them are full of energy, but they also shrink back when they see the emperor.

The emperor looked at them one by one, seeing so many young talents, he was very relieved, Wu Jiafan was the No.1 in the test, standing in the front, he naturally saw it at first sight, and Wu Jiafan was full of extraordinary bearing , What is different from others is that he is generous and has no timidity. No matter where he stands, he can be remembered at first sight, let alone standing in the front.

The emperor is more and more satisfied with it, not only literary talent, but also outstanding temperament.

The emperor deliberately asked, "Wu Jiafan, I have read your test paper, and I am very touched by your way of governing the country. Can you tell me how you came up with these ideas?"

Wu Jiafan took a step forward and replied: "Your Majesty, the country was in turmoil when the Caomin were young. At that time, there were refugees all over the country. Even the Caomin's home was hungry. The riots became more and more serious. Since the emperor put down the war, the lives of the people have become worse. It is getting better and better, they live and work in peace and contentment, so naturally they respect the emperor even more. The grass-roots family is fortunate to have the protection of the emperor, and now life is carefree. For the hard-won life now, they naturally hope that the world will be peaceful, so from what the grass-roots have seen and experienced Having reached these conclusions, in fact, all of this is due to the emperor's credit."
