A carriage carried everyone and drove quickly towards Jiankang.
On the carriage were many young people sitting.
These young people looked at each other, at least they still had politeness to each other on their faces.
"Shi Jun, this time you must become famous before you, and your future is limitless!"
"If you are rich, don't forget us old friends from the same county."
Several young people gathered around a shy young man and started to hype them up. At their age,
It is really not easy to recognize and praise a person of his age so much.
The young man hurriedly saluted everyone, "I dare not, I dare not, all the great wise men, I will follow you in the future and serve the country together!"
Everyone laughed.
Everyone is in a good mood and is particularly looking forward to this trip to Jiankang.
The emperor issued an edict to form a school room to train various officials, and also prepared to appoint a large number of capable officials of humble origins to grant official positions.
There are not many such opportunities, and the emperor also restricted them. They must be from a humble background and cannot be too old. They must be capable and recommended by various places.
He also stipulated that if the person recommended by the local government does not meet the background, the person recommended is the crime of deceiving the emperor. If the person recommended by the local government cannot pass the assessment of the court, it is also the crime of deceiving the emperor.
This is all to prevent local governments from doing things arbitrarily and arrange some incompetent confidants to occupy the position.
These young people are the capable officials recommended by the counties this time.
They were going to Jiankang to participate in the assessment and then meet the king later.
For a humble young man, this is simply a big thing he dare not to wish for.
Shi Wenqing, who was just being praised, sat among the crowd and clenched his fists secretly.
Although he was young, he was quite talented. He was deeply loved by the chief officials in the local area and had a certain reputation in Wuxing.
Compared to others, the chances of winning are still very high.
After all, we are going to gather capable officials from all over the country, and there are also many places. The people on this car are Shi Wenqing's fellow villagers.
I didn't have much jealousy towards him.
Shi Wenqing believed that he would definitely achieve good results this time, and he was even confident that he would take the lead.
Hearing that the assessment was directly under the court, the court was in charge of the attendant Yuan Xian himself. When Shi Wenqing thought of seeing such a big man, he was indescribable to express his excitement.
You must perform well, be valued by noble people, and then display your ambitions, serve the country, achieve fame, and leave your name in history...
Having some unrealistic fantasies, Shi Wenqing's face appeared with a smile.
Jiankang Palace.
"His Majesty!!"
Yuan Xian stood in front of Chen Xiang with a stunned look on his face and asked anxiously: "I have already agreed before, who is slandering him in front of His Majesty?"
"How could I be unfair? How could I be for my own personal gain?::
Yuan Xian probably felt that he had been humiliated, his face turned red, and he began to stutter.
Chen sat in the upper position and saw that Yuan Xian was so excited, he hurriedly spoke.
"Yuan Qing is too worried! Yuan Qing is too worried!"
"How could I doubt Yuan Qing's character?"
Yuan Xian looked at Chen Xiang, "Your Majesty is not suspicious, why should you remove me from the position of chief examiner? Your Majesty is most concerned about the affairs of administration, why...."
"I want the prince to handle this."
Yuan Xian's words were immediately blocked and he stood there in a daze.
Chen Xiang looked at him and sighed, "Yuan Qing, I am no longer young."
"The prince likes to study, but he doesn't like to do practical things. He eats wine and writes poems with others all day long. I have to let him do something,
While we can still cure the aftermath for him and let him do something big, it is all a test of hard work... If I am gone, how can he stop Liu Taozi?"
The anger on Yuan Xian's face dissipated, "Your Majesty, don't say this, Your Majesty is strong...'
"As the Zhou Kingdom is so powerful, Yuwen Yong will scatter like ash when he dies...: I am much older than Yuwen Yong, how can I not be prepared?"
"Yuan Qing, I have thought about it. Let the prince do this. Promoting a capable official is just one of the most insignificant things among our many major issues. To be honest, promoting a few capable official is just to set an example for the world, and it is not enough to determine a major event."
"And let the prince go, then this example will be even greater."
"Among all the things, the most important thing is the school departments in various places, and this is what Yuan Qing should do."
Yuan Xian shook his head, "Your Majesty, the affairs of the country are not necessarily large or small. It is not impossible to let the prince in charge. It is just that an old minister needs to be assisted and do his duty and must not be underestimated.:::
M
"Yuan Qing doesn't have to worry, let's talk about the school."
Yuan Xian had no choice but to talk about some of his considerations in the school room.
After a while, Yuan Xian finally left.
Chen Shubao followed closely and appeared in front of Chen. Chen Shubao was outside. It was normal, but when he stood in front of his father, he became timid and lowered his head.
I dare not say a word.
Seeing him so cowardly, Chen felt even more anxious.
With his son's virtue, let alone fighting against Liu Taozi in the future, it is a question whether he can control the country safely.
These ministers in China have always been disobedient, and even they have to work hard to control them.
As for the stupid son in front of him.
Chen looked at Chen Shubao again, and then sighed.
"Do you know or don't know about this?"
Chen Shubao hurriedly replied: "My son... know... know."
"It's good to know. I'm going to let you serve as the chief examiner, be responsible for this assessment, and then be given an official position."
A hint of unhappiness flashed in Chen Shubao's eyes, and he raised his head, "Father, my son is still young, how can you do such a big thing well? Why not let the court be..."
"Silly!!"
Chen was furious.
"If you can't do this, how do you do other things in the future?"
"Do you want to spend your whole life in your broken house and have fun, and run naked in your clothes?"
"This is to set an example for the world. As the prince, you will promote a capable official. Do you know how much gratitude these people will be to you? These are excellent young people recommended by the local government, and they are humble from a family. They are not big clans. Isn't this the important ministers to govern the country prepared for you?!"
"The strong generals must travel to the army, and the prime minister must come from the prefectures and counties. If you promote these young officials, you will be yours.
I won’t object to how many you want to stay. When you inherit the throne, you can rely on them to govern the world. Do you don’t know this?”
Chen asked angrily, and Chen Shubao was so scared that he kept trembling.
However, he had long been used to his father's anger.
After all, this is a common thing. When Chen Zuo vented his anger, he said quietly: "Your Majesty,
I got it, I will do this."
"You must do it well, and never underestimate it... Those talented people around you can't do anything except writing poetry or drinking. Although these people are not of high origin, they are very good at local areas. I don't know how many prime ministers can be managed. You have to choose carefully, do you know?"
"only....."
"I will send an old minister to assist you, so let Taichangqing come to help you do this."
"This is originally a matter of Taichangqing. You should contact the old ministers more and listen to their suggestions.::
"
"only...."
Chen Shubao's weak appearance once again angered Chen Xiang, but he did not get angry anymore.
He was already extremely tired, but he waved helplessly, asking Chen Shubao to leave quickly, and at the same time he made a harsh word.
"If this matter is not done well... I will destroy your position as the crown prince...:"
Chen Shubao received the order and turned around and left.
When he walked out of the hall, his eyes were filled with sorrow. He really didn't like to do these chores at all.
But now that there is an emperor's edict, he dare not refuse to obey.
He had no choice but to say goodbye to his friends for a while, get in the car, leave the palace, and go to the place where this assessment was conducted.
Mr. Jiang, Taichangqing, has learned that the prince is about to be in charge and has been waiting for him for a long time.
The location of the assessment was arranged in the western suburbs. In order to deal with this incident, Taichangqing built high platforms and houses here, and arranged scholars to come to debate, just to regard it as a hot place.
When Chen Shubao got out of the car, General Jiang led everyone to greet him.
Taichangqing, General Jiang, is an old minister.
He was already in his sixties. When he was young, he was valued by Emperor Wu of Liang and embarked on an official career. During the Hou Jing's rebellion, he successfully ran away and was not caught. He waited until Emperor Wen took office.
Mr. Jiang is talented and very talented in the field of literature.
Originally, Chen Shubao looked displeased and was very dull, but after getting off the car, he found that the person who came to greet him was Mr. Jiang. He was shocked and hurriedly asked to salute, but Mr. Jiang was shocked by him.
"How dare you! How dare you!"
"Oh, if I had known that it was Mr. Jiang here, I would not need His Majesty's orders. I would come to pay my respects myself!"
"Jiang Gong's previous "Boenix Resentment" is silent by the brothel avenue, and there are snowy windows in front of the beautiful windows. The mandarin ducks on the pond are not alone, but the Soviet Union in the tent is still empty!"
"The writing is so good, so good! Just a few strokes will deeply win my heart!"
Chen Shubao has changed his appearance at this moment, his eyes are hot, as if he has seen an idol.
Mr. Jiang did not expect that the prince valued him so much, and he also entered the flattery mode. The two of them walked into the yard with each other. There were many literati gathered here. Chen Shubao also knew that many of them were dancing happily and greeted them one after another.
Then, everyone got familiar with each other. The prince sat in the upper position, General Jiang sat beside him, and the rest were sitting on both sides.
Chen Shubao recited one poem after another by Mr. Jiang.
"In your "Women's Disease", I love the most, "The beautiful and slim and chaste room, the romantic woman holding a piano, but she lies on the corner pillow, and she makes up for a long time." These sentences are so good, so good! Is there any wine?"
Mr. Jiang stroked his beard, "Thank you, Your Highness, I have heard of your good writings. I saw you today. As expected, I'm here, I'll drink!"
The officials' eyes lit up, probably knowing the prince's hobbies, and hurriedly began to offer poems.
Chen Shubao listened carefully. If it was the kind of frontier poem that Zu Ban was good at, Chen Shubao could only nod and smile. If he chanted a poem about the beautiful mountains and rivers, he would just clap his hands. But if it was about his wife missing her husband, the sorrow of a woman who was not married, the pain of a widow, and the regret of a virgin, Chen Shubao would definitely have to get up and shake hands.
This has nothing to do with women. Women are just a metaphor for them. They use women's sorrow to express their inner sorrow. Missing their husbands means feeling that they are not appreciated, longing for confidants, and being unmarried means feeling that they are not valued, talent is unknown, being beaten by their husbands means being bullied by the emperor, and being dead means that their king is no longer there... As for what they have nothing to do, they say that they cannot become officials.
Such poems are often overbearing, with poor content and whining without any illness. Their evaluations were not very high in the later period.
Chen Shubao is just like this.
Everyone talked about poetry for a long time. Chen Shubao met many idols and was in a good mood.
Follow them to have a drink and discuss the next creative direction.
Mr. Jiang even started to 'update his poems' and tried hard to please the prince.
At this time, a normal official finally couldn't sit still and stood up to remind him: "Mr. Jiang, we have never had this assessment..."
Before Mr. Jiang could reply, Chen Shubao scolded unhappily: "We are discussing elegant things, why bother with these mundane things to disturb Ning Jing?"
"You can just leave this little thing to someone."
"What do you think Jiang Gong?"
Mr. Jiang nodded with a smile, "Writing is bigger than the sky, the rest are just small things. Just find a few people who can do it. We will come forward when we are done. In the past few days, don't disturb your highness's atmosphere!"
"only.....

The recommended Zhu Geng has arrived here.
But they were unable to see Yuan Xian. When they heard that the chief examiner changed from Yuan Xian to the crown prince, they were all shocked, and they were even more excited about what would happen next, eager to try.
But until the exam started, the prince did not show up. The officials just said that outstanding people could go to see the prince.
Shi Wenqing sat among the crowd. He took a deep breath and then began to take the exam.
This exam is much less difficult than Shi Wenqing thought, but it is just practical issues in law, mathematics, etc.
In this field, Shi Wenqing is quite good at it. He started writing seriously. After completing it as soon as possible, he checked it repeatedly to confirm that he had no mistakes. He struggled for a long time and then handed over the test paper.
The other officials were worried when they came out, and they all felt that it was a bit difficult. Once this practical problem was magnified to counties and states, it would be a bit beyond their ability.
They have solved the practical problems in the county town, but they have no experience after going up. Why did they get such test questions?
Shi Wenqing looked at the anxious people and felt secretly happy.
He will do it!!!
However, he didn't dare to show it. When others asked him, he just shook his head regretfully and said it was too difficult.
Three days later, the number of winners was finally announced.
There are no scores in the test, as long as you can get it right, and this assessment is much stricter.
Someone else comes to score.
The official in charge of these assessments is also not very old, with a arrogant face and has no good expression on everyone.
After finally waiting for the time to open the list, Shi Wenqing was shocked.
Among the more than 230 people recommended, Shi Wenqing's achievements were actually in the ranks of the last.
Shi Wenqing was stunned and could not believe the result.
After his inquiry, his fellow villagers finally told the secret.
"Shi Jun, why are you so slow? Mr. Shen, who is responsible for the assessment, is a greedy person. Many people have given him some things in private. Could it be that you didn't give anything?"
Shi Wenqing was very surprised, "Can you still do such an important assessment?"
