For these exam candidates, the imperial examination in the first year of Jingkang was really disgusting——

On the surface, it seems like nothing, just asking the candidates to state some experiences on the road, but in fact, this kind of question-breaking is simply an offending proposition!

Except for a few candidates whose families are in Bianjing, most of the remaining candidates came from various places in the Song Dynasty. They were from all over the world. They must have passed through many prefectures and counties on their way to Beijing to take the exam. Even if

No matter how busy these candidates are on the road, they can always hear and see the living conditions of the people in some places, and they will definitely hear some rumors about the situation of local officials.

But this is exactly where the problem lies.

Naturally, there are good and bad reviews of local officials. Now let me tell you all about the deeds of these officials. The good ones are okay, but what about the bad ones? Do you want to serve as officials in the same court in the future?

If someone is unlucky and loses his job or even dies because of his answer sheet, wouldn't he be hated by others?

But it’s not okay if you don’t answer well.

There are more than one testimonials for taking the exam, and there must be more than one or two testimonials that are on the same path as myself. If I write some randomly, I will cover up for the local officials, but will others cover up for them? Officials

Will your family send someone to verify it? What image will you have in the emperor's mind by then?

What is the purpose of the ten years of cold weather?

So even if you know that this is a question, you can only answer it with the mentality of a dead Taoist friend rather than a poor Taoist. Even if you are not careful, you will betray your future teammates!

Zhao Heng, who was sitting on the Dragon Chair behind the Twelve Crowns, naturally had a panoramic view of the expressions of all the candidates.

Please answer my questions carefully one by one. Since I dare to use such naked conspiracy, I am not afraid of what tricks you may play——

There are so many people who want to sell their teammates and become officials. Among the more than 300 candidates, there will definitely be a few decent people. If you don't sell them, there will always be others who will.

As long as someone is willing to sell, these candidates are equivalent to censors who do not need to pay, and there will be such a group every three years!

When the incense burnt out at the end of the three pillars, the answer sheets of the examinees in Jiying Hall were taken away by the young eunuchs even if they had not finished answering. These examinees who were taking the examination finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, to the surprise of these examiners, the little eunuchs put down a blank piece of paper while putting away the test papers, and Zhao Huan also said with a smile: "The Li family of Xixia ignored Tian's kindness and was rebellious.

, so that all the people in Xixia were devastated, and the rivers hung upside down. I had no choice but to brave the frost and dew, weather the wind and rain, attack cities in the field, and personally go to the target. It was hard work, hardship, and danger.

Today, the Western Xia has been decided, and many wastes are waiting to be revitalized. The Kingdom of Jin has sent envoys to ask for a consultation. Among them, how Xixia should be managed, and the pros and cons of opening up the consultation, everyone can try to tell."

Just asking these candidates to tell the rumors about the state capitals they passed along the way cannot judge whether these candidates are talented. It can only judge whether these candidates care about the livelihood of the people.

Now, while these candidates have just finished answering the first question and are feeling uneasy, let these candidates put forward their own opinions on the current situation of the market in Xixia. It will be easy to judge whether these candidates are dead or not.

There is still real ability in reading.

Even if the final result is that no one is retained, it is still much better than getting some random people to sneak into the court.

But the ministers who were shocked by Zhao Huan's tricks now just want to scold their mothers - the officials can do it on the dragon chair, and the candidates can also sit in the hall. But what about people like themselves? They can only do it in Jiying Hall.

Stand inside!

Similarly, those candidates did not suffer much - the poems, lyrics, essays, poems, strategies and other things they had prepared were all unavailable. After being forced to sell out their future teammates, they had to face the third time.

The two exams are really the best of each other!

However, Zhao Huan still smiled and sat on the dragon chair to watch the show, and even chose a more comfortable position.

As an emperor, you cannot let your ministers guess what you are thinking. As the saying goes, if the emperor is not secretive, his ministers will lose; if his ministers are not secretive, they will lose their virginity; if matters are not secretive, they will be harmed. This is why a gentleman keeps secrets and does not let them out.

Moreover, Han Feizi also wrote the famous "Eight Traitors", which basically lists the negative behaviors of ministers one by one. Even a novice who does not understand politics can use these eight traitors to compare the behaviors of ministers.

And if you take precautions, it will be difficult for your ministers to cause trouble.

For example, now, Zhao Huan unexpectedly gave the second round of answers in the palace examination, which is what "Han Feizi·Eight Traitors" said, so as not to make the officials suspicious.

Want to figure out what's best? Want to win people's hearts through ancient tricks?

hehe!

The only way out for you is to follow the routine I gave you honestly!

Convinced in face but not in heart? I got your body but not your heart?

joke!

What do I want with your hearts? All I want is your bodies!

…

There were also three pillars of incense, and the rising smoke slowly rose up and slowly disappeared into nothingness. As the last bit of incense burned out, Wu Xin shouted at the top of his voice: "The time is up! Stop writing! Stop writing!"

roll!"

Immediately afterwards, the little eunuchs who had just collected the papers filed in again, and while collecting the test papers from the candidates, they put down a blank white paper again.

Li Gang really couldn't bear it any longer, so he immediately went out and bowed down and said: "It's almost noon when I start to play to the officials, and everyone is exhausted. Why don't the officials..."

But before Li Gang could finish speaking, Zhao Huan smiled, waved his hand and said, "This is the last question today, and it is a very simple question."

After Li Gang helplessly returned to the class, Zhao Huan looked at the candidates in the hall with a smile and said with a smile: "Mencius said: Fish is what I want; bear paws are what I want. You can't have both.

It’s like giving up a fish to get a bear’s paw. Now I want to have both, so please give me a try.”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Huan added with a smile: "This question is too simple, it only takes one stick of incense."

After Zhao Huan finished speaking, Li Gang and others couldn't help but turn their attention to the candidates in the hall. At this time, except for a few candidates in the hall, most of the remaining candidates were close to collapse.

I was forced to betray my possible future teammates, and wrote my opinion on Xixia's relationship based on my feelings, and now I have to face such a fucking third question!

Zhao Huan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was still smiling.

Since ancient times, deep love cannot be retained, only tricks can win people's hearts!

The fish and bear's paw routine has been used by Mr. Yun, and I have used it in my previous life! Facts have proved that this routine is really easy to use, and the upgraded three-in-one routine is even more easy to use, and it is extremely easy to use.
