The ministers turned around and saw that the emperor had arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony at some point, looking at them with a smile.
Everyone was about to greet him immediately, but saw the emperor making a silent gesture, indicating that they should not disturb the candidates who were taking the exam.
Guo Huaian, the Minister of War, stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has recently completed the delivery with the Ministry of Industry, and the new weapons for the battle formation have been assigned to the Guards Army."
Li Huaishan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry on the side, also started to say:
"Your Majesty, the weapons of the generals have been forged and each belongs to its owner."
Li Yun nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, thank you, dear friends."
Hearing this, all the other courtiers present felt itchy.
What new weapon?
These days, they often heard thunder-like explosions coming from the direction of the Ministry of Industry and the Royal Palace from time to time. However, the people involved were very secretive, and no one knew what the emperor was doing.
At this time, I felt really itchy in my heart when I heard the emperor and two ministers playing riddles.
Just listen to the emperor say calmly:
"Very good. My dear friends, please accompany me to invigilate the exam."
After saying that, he sat down on the dragon chair, turned his head and looked at the examination room with tens of thousands of people in front of him, and he felt like he was out of body in an instant!
All the courtiers present felt a gust of wind blowing from the direction of the emperor's throne, carrying a burst of fragrance. They were a little confused for a while, but they still followed the emperor's order and continued to invigilate the exam.
The so-called invigilation of this kind of exam is not afraid of cheating. After all, the emperor just came up with this exam question yesterday, and only Pei Zhong knows it.
The exam started today, and everyone knew what the question was when Saguang, the eunuch and eunuch in charge of the ceremony, announced loudly.
The fact that everyone was proctoring the exam was more of a sign of the importance they attached to the Enke exam.
Li Yun's dark spirit turned into a strong wind, blowing out from the Hall of Supreme Harmony and passing over the examination papers of each examinee.
At this time, he also truly felt the benefits brought by the Yin God's tempering again.
Wherever he goes, he can almost instantly know all the answers to these candidates' questions, and then find the top answers among them.
This kind of growth above the soul is already like this for the Yin God. If it really becomes the Yang God, wouldn't it be equivalent to a god?
This method of practicing meritorious incense has its own unique features, and it is different from the practice of refining qi.
At this time, most of these candidates had almost answered the questions. Li Yun looked over and found that although most of them had received the question "Equal acres of land for an ordinary family", their answers were still based on the eight-part essay, quoting classics. It's all empty talk.
But this is normal. After all, the Enke exam has just been restarted, and many people are not familiar with the reforms he has made.
As time goes by, it will naturally get better.
And among the more than 10,000 candidates, there are also many extremely talented and stunning people.
After all, nine surnames and ten clans dominate the world. The imperial court is now more of a decoration, and the land it can truly control is less than one-tenth of the entire Wu Kingdom.
Many knowledgeable people can also figure this out.
Under such circumstances, those who can still come to the capital to take the Enke exam have come out on top, at least in terms of courage.
Li Yun's ghost roared above the examination room. In the blink of an eye, he had read all the examination papers and had made a choice in his mind for the top fifty. As for the remaining Jinshi, he had to rely on a group of courtiers to mark the papers. .
At this time, all the candidates were just about to finish their answers, and they were feeling uneasy, but they didn't know that the emperor had already finished marking the papers.
The Enke exam lasted only half a day. As soon as noon came, the eunuchs and eunuchs beside them beat drums and rang bells to signal the end of the exam.
Then the papers were collected, the names were sealed, and sent to the Imperial College to wait for the examiners to mark the papers.
In previous Enke examinations, there has never been a precedent of sealing the names of candidates. This has also caused a lot of favoritism and fraud. Especially the examination papers of some children of aristocratic families are still judged by examiners from aristocratic families, so naturally they will only be biased towards aristocratic families.
There are many examples of talented and educated poor children being squeezed out by those from prominent families.
Seeing the eunuchs and attendants collecting their papers and sealing their names one by one, all the candidates present were excited.
As students from poor backgrounds, they naturally understand clearly what is going on in aristocratic families, and this Enke exam sealing and grading can improve the fairness of the entire exam countless times!
"Brother, the name recognition is really the name recognition and examination! Today's sage...sage!"
"Yes, it's a matter of sealing the name and reviewing the papers. We only want justice, and this justice is right in front of us..."
"I hope my answer will satisfy Your Majesty. This ordinary family, with equal land, is one and the same. Your Majesty is really planning to use poor children like us..."
"How many years will it take for us to have such an opportunity? We will use the reign of the Holy Emperor to gain great fame!"
All the candidates were excited at this moment. Li Yun, who was sitting on the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, instantly felt the surging royal energy coming from these candidates and couldn't help but smile.
Unexpectedly, just a name-checking test would increase the loyalty of these candidates a lot, which also shows how much people in this world long for justice.
From the time of marking, he had already discovered that the overall quality of these candidates was very good, and they were a powerful supplement to the current court.
At this time, the collection of papers has been completed, and Shao Guanggao, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department, preached:
"All students thank the Emperor for his kindness!"
Only then did all the candidates realize that the Emperor had actually arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony!
They quickly left their seats, with excitement and anxiety on their faces, and knelt down towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony, shouting in unison:
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Ye Huaixiang was also excited and uneasy at this time. He had only heard of the emperor's prowess in "Shunlong's Private Interview". This was the first time he could see the emperor at such a close distance.
At this moment, at the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a figure wearing a dragon robe slowly walked out, standing on the white jade elixir, with a smile on his face, looking at the more than 10,000 people present, and slowly said:
"Everyone is safe."
His voice was not loud, but it rang in the ears of more than 10,000 candidates at the same time, making them feel warm in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look up at the emperor.
Immediately, I saw a young man wearing a dragon robe, with a face like a crown jewel, a humble gentleman, it was the young emperor of the Wu Dynasty, Emperor Shunlong!
The moment they saw the emperor, for some reason, all the more than 10,000 candidates present felt a sense of intimacy, as if they were seeing a brother next door. Looking carefully, they instantly felt like a god coming. of majesty.
He was impressed by the emperor almost instantly.
Li Yun's spiritual consciousness enveloped the entire examination room, probing the emotions of the candidates, and said loudly:
"I have read the examination papers of all the ministers. There are many talented and beautiful people. It is a great blessing for our country, and it is also a great blessing for me!"
Hearing this, both the candidates and the civil and military officials present were all stunned.
The emperor has finished grading the papers? when? Didn’t this exam paper just come in?
Just listen to the emperor continue to say:
"Ye Huaixiang!"
Ye Huaixiang, who was in a daze, couldn't help but feel excited. He quickly rushed to the White Jade Pill and kowtowed:
"The grass people are here!"
How does the emperor know his name! ?
Then I heard the emperor slowly say:
"If you want to bring peace to the family, you must first destroy genealogy. If you want to destroy genealogy, you must first destroy the Zhao family in Yuezhou... Your answer is very popular with me."
Hearing this, Ye Huaixiang couldn't help but tremble all over and looked at the emperor in front of him in disbelief.
What the emperor said just now is exactly what he just answered the question!
The emperor really read his paper! ?
Then I heard Li Yun say:
"Your essay on aristocratic families is well written. I will appoint you as the Tanhualang for this palace examination."
Ye Huaixiang's whole body was shaking. He couldn't believe his ears. He kowtowed quickly and said in a trembling voice:
"Thank you, Lord! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
The emperor reviewed papers in court and picked out flowers in court. This can no longer be explained by the Holy Son of Heaven. The only reason is that he was ordered by heaven and the gods descended to earth.
He was still in shock when he heard the emperor continue:
"Cheng Wensu!"
Immediately, another candidate walked out of the crowd, quickly came to the White Jade Pill and knelt down with excitement on his face.
"Your theory of the Ping family, saying that the Ping family should awaken the people's hearts and open up the people's wisdom to discover the family, is indeed good. I will choose you as my second choice."
Cheng Wensu immediately kowtowed excitedly. What the emperor said was exactly the content of his examination paper!
"Liu Jingxin." The emperor called another name.
This time, a tall and muscular scholar emerged from the crowd and knelt before the emperor.
"Your theory of land and acres states that we should strive to develop Huangzhuang Gongzhuang, nationalize the world's farmland, let the Ministry of Households coordinate the land equalization, and grant the people the right to use rather than own it. At the same time, we should reduce agricultural taxes and build a world-wide farmland. The Tao Tonglian opened the trade routes of Beidi, Xiyi, Nanman and other foreign countries, which really amazes me! Today, you are my number one scholar!"
Li Yun looked at the scholar in front of him and said.
This Liu Jingxin combined Juntianmu and Pingshijia, saying that Juntianmu was Pingshijia and Pingshijia was Juntianmu, and he saw through Li Yun's original intention.
Moreover, the conversion between public and private ownership of land mentioned by Liu Jingxin was a complete replica of the land reform, which made Li Yun think that this guy was a time traveler.
What a great talent!
Liu Jingxin originally thought that what he wrote on the examination papers were violent remarks that would not be tolerated by the world, but he did not expect to be so favored by the emperor. His eyes turned red, and he kowtowed deeply, unable to say a word.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yun called the names of dozens of people, asked them to come to the front of the hall, briefly stated the contents of their examination papers, and then named them Jinshi.
This scene completely convinced the more than 10,000 candidates present and fell into admiration!
The emperor was able to read and write down all the examination papers of more than 10,000 candidates in an instant, and also selected the top three and the top fifty candidates. The contents of the examination papers he talked about were different, which made everyone present It is already a miracle that other candidates can listen to it and be convinced.
This is the emperor of Wu Kingdom! The enlightened master they want to follow!
Then the emperor continued to say:
"Today's Imperial Palace Examination, I will hand-pick a thousand Jinshi. Students who fail the exam do not need to be discouraged. They can stay in the capital and enter the Imperial Academy to learn how to govern the country and even the art of industry, weapons and war. The teaching materials will be compiled by me personally. One year later , take another exam to promote talents."
Hearing this, the more than 10,000 candidates present were all surprised. The emperor's promise far exceeded their expectations.
Being able to study directly in the Imperial College is a great opportunity!
What's more, the teaching materials were entirely written by the emperor, so they were truly disciples of the emperor.
Being able to come to Beijing to take the exam during this period of chaos, these candidates have an unyielding spirit, and naturally they are not willing to fail at this time.
They must study hard and follow the sage monarch!
Feeling the complacency of the more than 10,000 candidates present, Li Yun nodded slightly.
As a time traveler, he is well aware of the efficiency of modern education systems and models. If these candidates are given a set of higher education, the success rate will be extremely high.
They are all malleable talents.
The court is also a time for employing people, so they are rare.
Then he continued:
"Within half a year, I will wipe out all the nine and ten families in the world, and burn down the puppet court in Xijing. I will work hard to study and serve the imperial court. The day is still to come."
"It stands to reason that I should have promoted all the thousands of Jinshi today, but the rebels from the thirty-six vassal towns have arrived outside the capital. Time waits for no one. Please follow me and watch the battle!"
