Inside Chongwen Hall.

Wang Pu came to Fan Zhi with an excited expression and said loudly: "What a great talent! What a great talent! Fan Xianggong, look, this is a great talent! This poem, this poem is so well written.

Well, everything is inferior, but reading is good. If you ask me, just based on these poems and essays, even if the strategy is a little poor, this person should be awarded a Jinshi. I say, these three kings should be read carefully.

In this poem, if you have not yet completed your moral cultivation, you should not think about harmonizing your family, governing your country, and bringing peace to the world."

Seeing this, Fan Zhi took it and read it. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion and admitted that the poem was indeed well written.

"My lords, if you don't have any objections, should this be the first title of this poem?"

All the examiners nodded, and Wang Pu even praised: "This is an article in the prosperous times. It is a great blessing for our country to have such talented people at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty."

"But I don't know where this candidate is from? Unfortunately, the names have been obscured."

Wang Pu said, "What's the point? Just take a look. Anyway, it's decided that it's him."

Then he took matters into his own hands to remove the name.

Although everyone feels that this seems a little inappropriate, after all, this is the first time that the name-blinding method has been used, and it is even the first time that the imperial examination has finally become more formal, so naturally there are no big rules.

Until the sealing wax that obscured the name was opened bit by bit, and the words "Kaifeng Mansion Zhao Guangmei" were revealed on it, Wang Pu's eyes couldn't help but almost bulged out, as if a bird was stuck in the neck.

Like chicken.

"Ah this...this..."

Fan Zhi, however, nodded repeatedly after being shocked and said in admiration: "So it was the work of the three kings? It's true that... the intention is lofty."

And in front of him, looking at Zhao Guangmei's name on the scroll, it took Wang Pu a while to react, his face was extremely embarrassed, and he muttered: "Actually... in fact, this article... may not really be the best among all."

Fan Zhi glared at him and said angrily: "Don't you want to live anymore?"

Wang Pu knew that he had made a mistake, and he repeatedly accused him of it. All the bachelors, bachelors, and bachelors in Chongwen Palace also said that he did not mean what he said and would not say it out loud, so he relaxed a little.

"The way of poetry and prose is ultimately a small way. In our imperial examination, we should focus on policy and theory and ignore poetry and prose."

This is true. Fan Zhi pulled out an article and said: "On one subject, Wei Xianggong and I agree that this article is the best. What does Wang Xianggong think?"

"Truth and justice are performed by a gentleman, but punishment and killing are inflicted on villains. Punishing the dead is a heinous crime, and this is especially the case for villains. He would rather die with righteousness than live a happy life, but regard death as home. This is especially difficult for gentlemen.

Ye. In the sixth year of Emperor Taizong's reign in the Fang Tang Dynasty, more than 300 people were imprisoned. Even if they returned home, they were promised to die if they returned home. Therefore, it is difficult for a gentleman to do it, but it is certain for a villain to do it. The prisoner is as good as

In the end, there is no such thing as the latter. This is what is difficult for a gentleman, but easy for a villain. Is this close to human feelings? Or it can be said: The sin is great and evil, and you are a sincere villain; if you show kindness and kindness, you can make it happen.

Become a gentleman..."

"Good! Good! Good! Wonderful!"

Wang Pu couldn't help but applaud again and again.

To be honest, Ouyang Xiu's handed down works, which can be included in Chinese textbooks, were completely reduced to a dimensionality reduction in an era such as the early Song Dynasty when literature was not outstanding. Wang Pu watched it and was simply intoxicated.

"Good article, this is truly a good article that will be remembered for centuries. This must have been written by a learned scholar. The writing skills of this candidate are probably better than those of the rest of us. Very good, very good."

Fan Zhi joked: "So, Wang Xiang also thinks this article should be at the top of the list?"

"This is natural."

Fan Zhi asked Wei Renpu again: "What does Wei Xianggong mean?"

"Based on this theory alone, I should be admitted to the First Class."

Fan Zhi smiled and said: "Wang Xiang, are you interested in seeing who wrote this?"

"The ranking is established, so why not dare? It's impossible..."

As he spoke, he opened the package, and then looked at the three characters Zhao Guangmei on it, and was once again stunned.

However, Fan Zhi sighed as if he had expected it: "It is true that dragons and phoenixes are among men. We cannot judge them by common sense. The ones who will bring chaos to the world in the future must be the officials and the three kings and brothers."

Wang Pu refused to give up and said: "Isn't there still a strategy? Strategy is the real talent and learning."

Fan Zhi said amusingly: "Ce, do you still need to look at it?"

Fan Zhi smiled and found an examination paper and said: "This strategy is especially superior to the Pingbian strategy used by the former emperor. Even the prime ministers like us are probably far behind in their knowledge and strategy. Among the candidates, except

Among the three kings, who can have this insight? This is not a test paper at all. It can be considered for use as a national policy. Prime Minister, do you want to take it apart and see the name?"

Wang Pu opened his mouth when he heard this, then sighed and shook his head as if appointing.

Indeed, if the poems of the three kings can all take the top spot in terms of poetry, this strategy, in fact, there is no need to read it at all, it must be him.

Poems and essays are all about knowledge and literary talent. These things can be learned, but policy is about knowledge. It is useless to study hard behind closed doors. The three kings can access the information in the Privy Council all day long.

These are those that are beyond the reach of the candidates. In fact, before the exam, all the ministers generally have an idea in their minds. The poems and treatises of the three kings may not be very good. It would be good to have one in the middle, but the strategy will definitely be particularly outstanding.

.

I reluctantly took the paper and looked at it. When I saw the title "Strategies for Peace in the World", I couldn't help curling my lips, thinking that the title was too big. However, after reading it for a while, I actually felt astonished.<

/p>

"How?"

"This... doesn't need to be named, it must have come from the hands of the three kings. This strategy... this strategy... is indeed far superior to the Pingbian strategy."

Then he raised his head and said with profound meaning: "Yunwen and Yunwu, the three great kings are all extraordinary people. I came to see them, especially above the former emperor and Zhuangzong of the later Tang Dynasty. Even though you are so powerful, you don't know what the world is like."

Fortunately, it’s unfortunate.”

After saying that, he put away the examination papers with a sigh and left lonely.

When others saw his expression, they felt a little bit of empathy for a moment, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Chai Rong, he uses civil servants as secretaries. When the ministers disagree with him, he doesn't listen to a word. If you dare to give up your pick or don't work hard, he rolls up his arms and sleeves to do it himself, and then after the work is done,

I’ll take care of you again.

Li Cunxu, not to mention, just stay close to the actors and stay away from the virtuous ministers.

To put it bluntly, for the civil servants, what they like most is the kind of emperor Song Renzong, the kind who throws all his administrative power to the prime minister and is unable to be taken back by future generations.

"Under this, let's jointly govern a peaceful and prosperous age.
