Regarding the examination questions of the imperial examination, the ministers debated endlessly, but there was no result.
Li Shui's answer was different from everyone else's.
Ying Zheng asked Li Shui curiously: "What should be tested in the subject examination?"
Li Shui said: "The first subject is to test literature and diction. These people will be officials in the future. They may discuss affairs in the court or decentralize to counties. If you don't know how to read, how can you govern the world? Even if you know how to write, you don't have literary talent. If you say something that does not match the words at the beginning and ends with the words, it will be spread out afterwards, and if the people comply, the world will be in a state of uproar, wouldn't it be a big bad thing?"
When Ying Zheng heard this, his expression suddenly became serious. Chunyu Yue's worries are very reasonable. Over the years, some of his policies have been slandered by many people. It would be very troublesome if someone really used the imperial examination policy to cause trouble and spread some remarks that were unfavorable to the court.
Li Shui smiled slightly and said, "As for this, Chen Qia has another idea."
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui expectantly.
Li Shui said with a smile: "In the imperial examination, the policy analysis must avoid suspicion. We can use an imaginary way to take the exam."
Ying Zheng asked curiously: "What do you mean?"
Li Shui said: "For example, take the Three Kingdoms that I talked about yesterday. The behavior of the characters in it is quite similar to that of the Great Qin, but everyone knows that this is what happened in the fairy world and will not affect the human world."
"Then we can use the background of the Three Kingdoms to formulate questions. In fact, the test is about our views on the policy of Daqin. In this way, we can select real talents without inciting criticism and letting people with ulterior motives. Blame the government."
Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly and praised: "Huai Guzi, you are indeed full of clever tricks. Good, good, very good. I will use this plan."
Li Shui smiled modestly.
Chun Yuyue, Li Si and others next to them were all a little puzzled. They always thought this method was good, but why did it always feel a bit weird? It seems like something is wrong.
Chunyu Yue looked at Li Si, who was also puzzled and obviously felt the same way.
As for Ying Zheng, he was in a good mood after having solved a major issue. He said to Li Shui: "The examination questions for the imperial examination have been basically decided. The rest is left to the doctors to write the questions. These questions can be written hundreds of times. If there is a mixture of families, it can be both Dharma and Confucianism.”
Li Shui added: "I suggest that your majesty summon the doctors responsible for writing the topic into the palace and keep them under strict supervision. They are not allowed to contact anyone to avoid leaking the topic."
Ying Zheng suddenly realized: "It makes sense, it makes sense."
Chunyu Yue and others also felt that Li Shui was very considerate. I couldn't help but think: This Huaiguzi is indeed a talent. Of course, it would be better if you have a little face.
Zhao Teng whispered to Chunyu Yue: "I see that some of the national policies proposed by Huaiguzi have become more stable recently. They are not as selfish as before, and they are almost nonsense."
Chunyu Yue nodded and said, "That's right. That's right. It seems that Huaiguzi has been civilized by us after all."
Several people were sighing, and Ying Zheng said again: "Huai Guzi, we have already discussed the major events here. Let's continue to listen to the Three Kingdoms that we didn't finish talking about yesterday."
As soon as Li Shui heard this, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. Sure enough, it was a blessing, not a curse, but there was no way to avoid it.
He coughed dryly and said: "I... the little eunuch next to me, Wujiao, has listened to the entire Three Kingdoms, and he speaks it better than I do."
Ying Zheng said in surprise: "Really? Call him in quickly."
Li Shui immediately said: "I will call him right now."
Li Shui turned around and went out, grabbed Wu Jiao and said to him, "Your opportunity has come."
Wujiao asked: "What opportunity?"
Li Shui hugged his shoulders affectionately: "Your Majesty wanted to listen to the Three Kingdoms. He originally wanted me to talk about it. But I think you have been with me for so long and have worked hard. Although Shangjun Courtyard has your dividends, I want to talk again. Help you. Therefore, I recommended you before His Majesty. Your Majesty is looking for you."
Wujiao was surprised and happy: "You want me to talk about the Three Kingdoms in front of His Majesty?"
Li Shui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes. We can't finish talking about the Three Kingdoms in a few months. These days, you are by His Majesty's side every day. As time goes by, you will naturally win His Majesty's favor. In the future, you will be the third Two Zhao Gao."
When Wu Jiao heard this, his whole body trembled with excitement, but soon he said with some fear: "Master Banished Immortal, this Zhao Gao has been killed."
Li Shui sighed: "Of course I am referring to his power. There are still people outside who call me the second Shang Jun. Aren't I still active and active?"
Wujiao rubbed his hands: "That's true."
Li Shui took his arm and walked to the door and told him: "Work harder and speak more emotionally. It's best to add some body movements and facial expressions. Let His Majesty think you are a talent."
Wujiao nodded repeatedly and said with a moved face: "Exiled Immortal, I am so lucky to have worked with the Exalted Immortal all my life. This makes my heart... warm."
Li Shui patted him on the shoulder: "Go ahead. Helping others is the foundation of happiness."
Wu Jiao entered the room full of expectations and began to teach Ying Zheng about the Three Kingdoms with all his strength. Li Shui went to Poppy's dormitory and told Weiyang about the Red Mansion.

"Kill!" Xu Fu shouted, raised his spear, and led hundreds of people to charge towards the natives on the opposite side.
The natives on the opposite side were short in stature and had crude weapons. Many of them were holding stones and wooden sticks, but they could not hold up their large numbers.
Xu Fu could only ask his men to form a formation and advance and retreat together.
The military formation faced off against the disorganized stragglers, and was naturally extremely sharp, quickly defeating the natives.
Xu Fu waved his hand and ordered his men to bandage the wound.
Then he sat on a stone and breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's hard to find this silver mine."
According to Xu Fu's inquiries, the places with silver mines were occupied by native tribes. As for those in the wilderness, how long will it take to find them with these hundreds of people?
A sailor next to him said: "Master Xu, the order of the banished immortal is to find the silver mine. Go back and report the news immediately. Then lead a large group of people to fight for it."
Xu Fu waved his hand: "No. If a large group of people comes, where will they stay? What will they eat? They have been bumping on the sea for more than ten days, with their chests pressed against their backs because of hunger, and no one is there to help them when they get ashore. I'm afraid if I'm not careful, I will end up with nothing. Will be defeated by the natives here.”
"We must capture a camp as a base. Then collect food and wait for reinforcements."
The sailor nodded.
Xu Fu said with some annoyance: "How are these natives different from savages? They actually know the benefits of silver."
The sailor said to Xu Fu: "Sir, we have attacked this camp three or four times. The enemy has so many people that it is difficult to take it down."
Xu Fu looked at the camp on the mountain, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Look at the fortifications on the mountain, were they there before we came here?"
"Yes," said the sailor.
Xu Fu smiled slightly: "Before we came, who were these fortifications to defend against? It couldn't be to defend against wild beasts, right?"
The sailor was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "What do you mean, sir, are these fortifications to protect against other tribes?"
Xu Fu nodded: "Everyone wants more people and more territory. There must be fights between these tribes."
"In the next few days, let's take some rest. Send a few smart people to inquire about the surrounding tribes to see who their enemies are."
The sailor's eyes lit up: "What do you mean, sir, to join forces with their hostile tribes to attack this place together?"
Xu Fu waved his hand: "If we don't join forces, we can just make plans from behind. Let them fight on their own. We only brought a few hundred people. Human lives are precious."
The sailor fell to the ground in admiration: "Sir, you are truly a man of great talent."
Xu Fu stroked his beard proudly and thought to himself: "I don't know if banishing an immortal will count. Well, banishing an immortal is an important minister in the court and ranks as a public minister. Such a person must care about his reputation. How can he destroy his promise?"
Xu Fu stood up, looked at this undeveloped land, and thought with longing: "It seems that I will be the king here soon. Haha."

The red sun is to the west. Li Shui told a section of Dream of Red Mansions, and then watched Wei Young compile it into a book.
In the past, Weiyang secretly sorted out the Three Kingdoms at night after listening to it during the day.
This time Li Shui said: "As a result, the princess will stay up late every day, which will be very harmful to the body. I would rather talk less every day and wait for the princess."
Wei Young was moved to tears. So now Li Shui only talks once a day, which is so easy.
There are some poems in Dream of Red Mansions that Li Shui cannot remember. But Weiyang is very smart and racks her brains every time to complete these poems.
Li Shui took a look and found that Wei Yang's poems were all four-character poems. But although the forms are different, the emotions contained in them are similar. And according to each person's personality, the style of poetry is also different.
Li Shui admired him repeatedly. How many talented women have been restrained by ancient etiquette?
Wei Yang couldn't help but blush when she saw Li Shui staring at her poem.
These stories and poems were narrated by Li Shui, but she had only sorted them out, so they were nothing. But these poems were indeed thought up by herself, so she kept looking at Li Shui nervously, fearing that he would be dissatisfied.
After seeing Li Shui's continuous praise, he couldn't help but smile on his face and narrowed his eyes.
Li Shui and Wei Yang were discussing poetry, while Wu Jiao was talking seriously about the Three Kingdoms in front of Ying Zheng.
His voice was already a little hoarse. Not only was it hoarse, but it also hurt a little. He drank a lot of water today. It worked at first, but soon it stopped working.
Wu Jiao wanted to cry: It is really difficult to be His Majesty's favorite. Could it be that Zhao Gao suffered so much back then?
Seeing Wu Jiao stop talking, Zhao Teng urged him a little impatiently: "Wu Jiao, please tell me."
Wu Jiao could only sigh and continue talking.
In the end, Chun Yuyue was more kind and said to everyone: "Everyone, this little eunuch is very tired. Let's let him rest. Otherwise, he will get seriously ill from exhaustion and he will not be able to listen to him in the next few days. "
Wang Wan chuckled: "The young eunuch is sick, isn't it possible to banish an immortal?"
After hearing this, Zhao Teng couldn't help clenching his fists with his hands, and he was a little excited.
Unfortunately, Ying Zheng yawned and said, "That's it, I'm tired too. Let's listen to it tomorrow."
Wujiao wiped the sweat from his head, feeling like he was being pardoned.
Li Si, Chunyu Yue and others walked out of the palace together.
Now they are all smiling. Because one session of listening to a book in the Banished Immortal Tower costs half a million dollars. And how many times have I heard it in the palace? Invisibly, tens of millions of dollars were made.
These people were very happy when they thought about making money from Shuishui Li.
After they left the palace, they got on the carriage and passed by the Exalted Immortal Tower. They suddenly found that there were many people gathered here, more than before. And most of them are powerful in Guandong.
Chunyu Yue was a little puzzled: "The story of the Three Kingdoms is indeed good, but it doesn't make people flock to it so much, right?"
At this time, Wang Laoshi stood up and said: "The next batch can go in. The ticket price is one million per person. I'm afraid you all know that this story of the Three Kingdoms is related to the policy test questions. After listening to the Three Kingdoms, Maybe you can pass the exam."
When Chunyu Yue heard this, he almost vomited blood: I just said something was wrong. Huai Guzi, it turns out that he has such a skill.
