The examiner who warned me was stunned and fell silent with a dark face and continued to judge the paper.
Liu Yuan laughed secretly at Xu Zhixing's deliberately sarcastic words.
All the examiners shook their heads secretly in their hearts and continued to judge the papers. When Xu Zhixing saw that no one answered him and asked him, he snorted and picked up his pen and continued to judge the papers.
They actually did not point out such mistakes to the Holy One just to flatter him. When the Holy One asked him, he would not be polite.
With Qi Yuan's surprise on the test paper, everyone lost interest in reviewing the test paper. It wasn't until they saw Tan Che's strategy that everyone's eyes lit up, but then they shook their heads slightly.
Tan Che also put forward further opinions on the official assessment. Compared with the general examination, it is indeed much improved, and it is considered excellent among the ninety policy papers.
At the time of the examination, the gap between the two was not obvious, and it could even be said that they each had their own strengths. But now the palace examination strategy clearly shows the gap between the two.
There are still some flaws in Tan Che's strategy, but it is undeniable that it is equally excellent.
Liu Yuan thought for a while and still marked "Excellent" on the paper. The examiners were also sharp-eyed and marked their judgments fairly.
In fact, because Qi Yuan gave such a policy statement that could be called a national policy, the amazed examiners couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for this class of tribute scholars.
Compared with such a genius, the gap is really too big, so many examiners were slightly lenient when judging the papers.
Soon after the marking was over, Liu Yuan put away the top ten test papers. These ten test papers needed to be given to Emperor Zhou Yuan for his personal judgment. When the time comes for the top three in the palace examination, you will have to ride on horseback and parade through the streets.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Liu Yuan smiled and said to the examiners while holding the test paper.
"Mr. Liu, thank you for your hard work." The examiners responded in the same way. Only Xu Zhixing looked at them and smiled mockingly.
There are many geniuses in this world who can turn a pen into a poem and sing it forever, but there are some people who can't see the difference and insist on being that fool.
Liu Yuan ignored Xu Zhixing, and everyone who understood knew that Xu Zhixing's career would end here once the test paper was submitted. But looking at Xu Zhixing's appearance, everyone really didn't want to be hot-faced and cold-hearted.
It's a pity that Mr. Xu Ge has passed away and has no one to inherit his mantle.
Liu Yuan knew that Emperor Zhou Yuan was anxious to see the results, so he did not dare to delay at all and submitted the results as soon as they came out.
"Give Liu Aiqing a seat." Emperor Zhou Yuan was in a good mood. He waved his hand and arranged Liu Yuan aside and began to mark the papers.
Emperor Zhou Yuan couldn't wait to pick up the top policy paper, and couldn't help but get excited when he saw the policy paper for the first time.
The idea of commercial tax has been further considered in the policy discussion, and the specific implementation plan of customs tax has also been proposed. This even elicited the views of Hu merchants after the border war.
It can be said that what Emperor Zhou Yuan put in front of him was an almost complete commercial tax policy. Not only that, he also gave many accurate predictions on border issues.
The number of Hu merchants has decreased, mutual trade has been interrupted, war reports have been reported from the border, and the barbarian tribes are ready to move, and they have even launched a large-scale attack on the city.
However, this situation appeared in Liang Cai's policy, which made Emperor Zhou Yuan amazed and frightened at the same time.
This kind of insight and political acumen can be said to be unparalleled. In some aspects, he is even better than the prince Zhao Yichen.
If such a genius gains power and becomes rebellious... the consequences will be disastrous.
But when Emperor Zhou Yuan read the whole policy treatise carefully, he felt a little annoyed and relieved. Liang Cai was too smart.
He seemed to have expected that Emperor Zhou Yuan would have such concerns, and was confident that Emperor Zhou Yuan would read it carefully. Therefore, the policy statement showed an awkwardness. That awkwardness is not a big problem, but after careful reading, it is not difficult to find the deliberate Flattery.
It's like a person who doesn't know how to flatter someone deliberately praises, and every sentence hits the horse's leg. This kind of youthfulness is combined with the shrewdness of policy making, which makes it awkward to read carefully. Reading Network
But obviously such lame flattery could not dispel Emperor Zhou Yuan's suspicion. What really dispelled his suspicion was the lonely and courageous attitude behind such lame flattery.
The desire to be unafraid of beheading and just want to show his ambition and leave a name in history, and the courage to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism without fear of difficulties, for the prosperous age of the Zhou Dynasty.
Emperor Zhou Yuan relaxed his brows, smiled and gently placed the policy theory on his left hand.
The policy theory put the prosperous age before him, and Liang Cai tried his best to express his desire to be a lonely and brave minister who was loyal to the emperor.
Emperor Zhou Yuan was not afraid of outstanding talents, what he was afraid of was that such people had no weaknesses.
Obviously, Liang Cai, like most children from a poor family, has a weakness, which is the desire to shine on the family lintel and leave a name in history.
This thing is engraved in the bones of scholars like nobility. Such people use it well as ministers of the imperial court.
This Liang Cai is really conceited and meticulous. Be broad-minded yet know your limits.
Emperor Zhou Yuan put the strategy aside and quickly looked at Tan Che's test paper.
Tan Che was pretty much what Emperor Zhou Yuan expected, so he nodded and put it aside.
Soon Emperor Zhou Yuan was a little surprised by the remaining strategies, and the expression on his face became more relaxed and happy.
Zhu Bi personally clicked and ranked the remaining strategies. In the end, there were only three left and he paused for a moment.
Emperor Zhou Yuan picked up Qi Yuan's test paper and read it again, and was silent for a long time.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Emperor Zhou Yuan said as he picked up the ink pen and clicked on the top three in the palace examination.
Liu Yuan couldn't help but become nervous when he heard Emperor Zhou Yuan's words.
"What do Liu Aiqing think of Liang Cai's policy?" Emperor Zhou Yuan put down his pen and asked Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan knelt down and felt a chill running down his spine. Liang Cai's policy could be regarded as a national policy, and he even had the talent of an emperor to say it was treasonous. But Liu Yuan didn't dare to say this.
"Weichen thought..." Liu Yuan raised his head slightly and saw Emperor Zhou Yuan's expression. He paused for a moment and decided to swallow what he wanted to say out of intuition.
"I dare not say anything. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Liu Yuan kowtowed his head on the hall and could hear his rapid heartbeat. It seemed as if my heart would jump out of my throat at the next moment.
Emperor Zhou Yuan's hand that was tapping on the table paused and then retracted, "I forgive you for not being guilty. Tell me."
Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I think Liang Cai is a rare genius, and he is a talent that can be made with his outstanding talent."
Emperor Zhou Yuan did not speak. Liu Yuan took a breath and continued speaking without fear of death.
"But Liang Cai is too talented and knowledgeable. Even the prince is not as good as him. His humble ministers are rebellious and bold.
Liang Cai had some imperial talent. "
After Liu Yuan finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the hall. Emperor Zhou Yuan smiled and looked at Liu Yuan who had his head buried with slight satisfaction.
"Ai Qing, have you finished speaking?" Emperor Zhou Yuan said calmly.
"Wei Chen, Wei Chen thinks that although Liang Cai has a small talent, he comes from a poor family and is solitary and brave. He will definitely be of use to your Majesty."
Liu Yuan said it bravely. He was crazy to say such treacherous words.
