Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.
The selection of talents in the palace has ended, and the papers of tens of thousands of candidates were personally reviewed by Liu Xie and Yang Biao, Sima Fang and other highly respected people this time, and tens of thousands of papers took ten days to correct.
"Although there are no wonderful and brilliant people this time, I have also found a lot of capable officials."
Liu Xie put down the last paper in his hand and turned his head to look at the others: "I don't know what your family has gained."
This time the test paper, the name is covered, even if you want to be partial, you can't find the target, the satisfactory answer sheet is marked, and finally open it to see the name, Yang Biao and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly when they heard this, this son of heaven obviously thought that they might be partial, so he came up with such a method, and he could only bow down with a wry smile at the moment and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the minister here, there are also a few good papers, which can be good talents." ” "Okay, Wei Zhong, let someone open the envelope and select the ministers and the papers that I have marked."
Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction.
"Whoa."
Wei Zhong bowed, led a group of eunuchs down, respectfully took the examination paper from the hand of a famous minister, used a dagger to pick open the thread with the name, tore off the seal, and then picked out the marked paper among them.
Watching a group of eunuchs begin to select the papers, Yang Biao frowned slightly, and arched his hand to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, the minister is confused. ” "Mrs.
Fu, please speak."
Liu Xie raised his hand and smiled.
"This time the court selected the virtuous, the questions in the volume, are all governance strategies, but the sage, should not only be proficient in copywriting, but also should have enough knowledge, can make splendid articles, can be called virtuous, and in this volume, but pragmatic, in terms of knowledge, but there is nothing to do, the selection of virtuous ability, is inevitably biased."
Yang Biao bowed.
The policy of governing the country is only a part of the learning, in fact, most of the learning is the essence of the sages in their lives, the resources of the poor scholars are limited, so they are more specialized, and the children of the family are well-read, which is too pragmatic, but it is a little unfavorable to the children of the family.
"That's a good question."
Liu Xie smiled and said: "I don't deny that as Taifu said, the real sage does have the knowledge of broadcasting, but I want to ask Taifu, a knowledgeable and talented Confucian, but the governance of people's livelihood is a mess, and a person who is not highly educated, but can govern one side in an orderly manner, if the imperial court wants to use people to govern the place, who will be elected?"
"This" Yang Biao instantly understood what Liu Xie meant, and said with a wry smile: "Naturally, it's the latter." ” "That's a good point."
Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction: "The study of the ancestors can indeed be thought-provoking, but for the imperial court, it is beneficial to the country to be able to do things for the people, and now that the imperial court is employing people, I want to choose a person who can do practical things for the country, but now, I can only think about the development of the imperial court first, and I hope that Taifu can understand. ” Yang Biao sighed, although Liu Xie said politely, but he knew that this was Liu Xie saving face for himself, if he continued to refute, but angered Liu Xie, it would be bad, now the family's position in the court is in jeopardy, he, the Taifu, can not retreat, once he retreats, it will definitely be a major blow to the strength of the family.
"Your Majesty is wise, but the minister is stupid."
After bowing, Yang Biao returned to the train and waited for Liu Xie to review the file.
Seeing that no one spoke anymore, Liu Xie continued to start reviewing, and the quality of the excellent dossier selected by the ministers was indeed passable, Liu Xie looked at the names on it, there are families, but most of them are names that he is not familiar with.
"Dezu really lives up to my expectations, and this Ten Treatises on Rejuvenating the Country is quite insightful."
When he saw Yang Xiu's name, Liu Xie couldn't help laughing, Yang Xiu's talent and intelligence, he still recognized it, and after another year or two, it was no problem to be a Taishou, if he was lucky, maybe he could really inherit the title of the third duke, but the rights of the three dukes, Liu Xie was already ready to downgrade, and the three dukes were more of an honorary position in the future, and the rights would gradually be dispersed to the lower levels, to put it bluntly, in Liu Xie's conception, the three dukes would be a position for those respected ministers to retire in the future, but now Liu Xie is not ready to move, this kind of official adjustment, Let's wait until the world is decided.
Hearing Liu Xie praise his son, Yang Biao finally had a little more smile on his face.
The time lasted for three hours, and Liu Xiecai went through the excellent papers sent by the ministers, closed the coffin, and divided the ranking.
"The gold list outside the Weiyang Palace has been set up" Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has asked the master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry to use special means to make a gold list, just waiting for His Majesty to release the list."
Jia Xu bowed.
The gold list is a gimmick that Liu Xie came up with, the candle night in the cave room, and the title of the gold list, since it wants to pave the way for the future imperial examination, the significance of this gold list is not small.
"Very well, Wei Zhong."
Liu Xie gave a score to the files according to his ability, and then looked at Wei Zhong.
"The slave is here."
Wei Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"According to this ranking, people will typeset it out according to the score, and attach the score to it, so that the scholars from all sides can know how the court evaluates, make a list, and paste it on the gold list.
Liu Xie handed over the arranged paper to Wei Zhongdao.
"The slave obeys."
Wei Zhong respectfully took the scroll from Liu Xie's hand, bowed down with a group of eunuchs, and went out of the main hall, Xu Chu, who had been waiting outside the hall, left with dozens of guards to protect Wei Zhong and his party to ensure that no one would interfere on the way.
"Okay, you have worked hard for me for state affairs these days, I have already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and you will return to Chengming Hall with me for dinner later, which can be regarded as a reward for your hard work during this time."
Liu Xie stood up and looked at everyone with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Biao and the others hurriedly got up and said.
Outside Weiyang Palace, a large number of scholars gathered again at this time, and many people who did not know the truth passed by here, looking at this familiar scene in puzzlement.
"What's going on with these scholars coming to besiege the palace again" An old man passing by looked at those scholars who gathered in groups of three or five with dissatisfaction, who had just finished their work, and when he saw this scene, he was immediately a little dissatisfied.
"It's not about besieging the palace this time, you forgot, today is the day when the imperial court releases the list."
The companion glanced in the direction of the scholar and said with some envy.

"What's that?"
"Before the palace selected talents, the so-called release of the list, that is, the names of those outstanding people selected from tens of thousands of scholars were written on the list, and these people on the list will be personally received by His Majesty and arranged for official positions."
The companion said with some envy.
"How do you know so much" The former looked at his companion in amazement, and it was hard to understand how he knew so much "It's because you are lonely and unheard, these things are said every day in the Yuelai Inn these days, in Chang'an, it is no secret, until now I know, I don't know how you have lived in Chang'an for all these years, how you came here."
"Then tomorrow, I'll also go to the Yuelai Inn to have a look."
The scholars gathered in front of Weiyang Palace are naturally no strangers to these news, and at this moment, groups of three or five gathered in front of Weiyang Palace, and the issues discussed are naturally inseparable from this list.
In the anxious waiting of a group of scholars, at noon, Wei Zhong and two eunuchs came out of the palace gate under the protection of Xu Chu.
"Get out of the way, no one is allowed to approach" Xu Chu slammed a big knife to the ground, the ground trembled a few times, and the sixteen guards around protected Jin Bang, each pulled out the ring head knife on his waist, and looked around murderously, prohibiting anyone from approaching.
A group of scholars had never seen such a battle forced by a group of guards, and they all retreated.
"Zhang Bang" Wei Zhong came to the gold list with a solemn face and waved his hand.
The two eunuchs opened the list, stood on a stool, and pasted it on top of the gold list.
"Look, the first one is really that Yang Dezu" The sharp-eyed scholar had already seen Yang Xiu's name at the top of the list, and immediately talked about it.
After posting the list, Wei Zhong and the others did not leave, but pointed to the number behind the name on the list and said loudly: "This time the palace selects the virtuous, a total of 500 Magi are selected, and above this list, there are 500 Magi, and behind each person's name, it is the result of His Majesty's personal judgment, marked by numbers, the larger the number, the better the person, three days later, His Majesty will personally meet these 500 Magi in the Weiyang Palace, if you have any questions, three days later in the Weiyang Palace, you can directly ask Your Majesty." ” After Wei Zhong finished speaking, he took Xu Chu and the others back to the palace, leaving only two guards to maintain order.
"That Yang Dezu is indeed a talent, but Feng Guangcheng, who ranks second, is also a good talent, looking at His Majesty's evaluation, it is really rare to see that Yang Dezu by one number."
"Ding Yi is the son of Ding Chong, the courtier, and he is at the bottom of the list, it seems that it is indeed as His Majesty said, this time the court selects talents, only asks about talent, not about background" "It's rare for Ding Yi to be on the list, don't you see the Chen family, Chen Shouyi hasn't seen his name, this person usually has eyes above the top, but in fact, his stomach is empty, this time he was defeated, it's really happy" "Brother in front, leave quickly after reading it, I haven't seen it yet."
A group of scholars crowded together, either excited or depressed, and there were also people on the list, but they were unwilling to be left behind, so they secretly gritted their teeth and waited for three days to be on the top of the main hall and ask questions.
Just when a group of scholars gathered around the list and discussed, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a line of dusty knights rushed straight to the palace, and the knights led by them raised the battle report in their hands high and roared excitedly: "Great victory in Shuzhong "When did His Majesty in Shu cut down Shu" A group of scholars looked at the galloping knights in a bit of a daze, and did not dare to stop them, so they hurriedly made way for them to fly straight to the palace before they stopped. t1706231537:
