[031], hand-picked champion
Tang Sen's test paper attracted the praise of the examiners, and it was not necessary to mention it. If there were people in literary talent who were comparable to Tang Sen, then Tang Sen was unique in his opinion on the question, which made the examiners' eyes lit up when they saw it.
The examiner specially handed the test papers of Tang Sen and several other candidates to the Secretariat, and then submitted them to the emperor of the current dynasty. When looking at the test papers of the other candidates, Emperor Tang just nodded slightly to express his approval. When he saw Tang Sen's plan to ask for the test papers, he suddenly stood up from the chair and said three times: "Okay! OK! OK! Clearly organized and meaningful, this boy has the talent of a scholar!"
The scholars of the Tang Dynasty were not like scholars in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The most difficult subject in the Tang Dynasty was the scholar. The scholar's subject required five strategies for the major policies and strategies related to the country. It aims to select some senior talents with macro-wide awareness, so the requirements for candidates are very high. If they are recommended but failed to obtain them, the recommended governors will even be punished, so the number of people taking the exam was very small, and later they were in a state of name and death.
Now Emperor Tang bluntly said that Tang Sen was a scholar, which was because he valued Tang Sen very much, which made the officials of the Secretariat who came to the test paper very pleased. After thinking about it, he immediately said: "It was rumored that this candidate ended the exam in just one hour, and asked the examiner to leave the examination room. Please forgive me for saying that this student answered the questions so happily, either he was a genius or he knew the exam questions in advance."
"Oh?" Emperor Tang smiled and said, "It's still a genius who is still a plagiarism. Isn't it enough to take the exam on the spot? Xuan and these people will enter the court tomorrow and participate in the palace examination."
Tang Sen was mentally prepared to be admitted to the court to participate in the palace examination. He also watched many movies and TV series on TV and knew something about the court. Therefore, when Tang Sen stood in the court, he acted much calmer than the other candidates. His appearance was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was even more appreciated by Emperor Tang.
When the country was first established, the emperors were relatively pragmatic. The emperor urgently needed talents to manage the country's huge organization. You can imagine how eager he is to seek talents.
The situation in the northern part of the Tang Empire has been tense recently, which has made Emperor Tang very devoted. The Turks in the north have strong combat power and frequently harassed the Tang territory. This has always been a major concern for the emperor. It just so happened that several of the best candidates in the new subject are here, so you can ask them if there is any good solution.
So the Emperor of Tang smiled and said, "Now there are Turks in the north, and they are eyeing our dynasty. What do you think of the Jinshi? How to protect the safety of our people in the Tang Dynasty?"
The cruelty and power of the Turkic cavalry are famous all over the world, so these scholars also know something. At present, these scholars have expressed how to build the Great Wall as a barrier to resist cavalry, and how to rely on the natural danger of the Yellow River to prevent the enemy's attack.
Listening to these people's answers, Emperor Tang nodded slightly, but he did not agree very much. However, he saw Tang Sen shook his head helplessly, and asked with interest: "What do Chen Aiqing thinks?"
Tang Sen quickly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I heard from you all say that it is all defense, defense, do you have no power to fight?" Tang Sen said as he glanced at everyone, and then said to Emperor Tang: "Your Majesty, I think it is absolutely impossible to defend blindly. No matter how well you guard and seamlessly guard, it cannot eliminate the enemy's ambition of aggression. As long as they are not hurt, they will continue to harass us with a lucky heart. If you want to protect the safety of our people in the Tang Dynasty, there is one of the best and most direct ways, that is, attack, and it is strong, frontal attack, to eliminate the enemy from the front battlefield, and they will never dare to speak out again. When they see the flag of my Tang Dynasty, they will run away with their heads. By then, my Tang Dynasty will be considered a real country of the Celestial Empire and a real country of the Celestial Empire."
Tang Sen made a high-spirited speech. He thought the Emperor of Tang would applaud excitedly, but he didn't expect that Emperor of Tang would still smile and said, "It's right, but have you ever thought that the combat power of the Turkic cavalry is so powerful. My Tang Dynasty man is extremely brave, but he doesn't have such a sword or a horse!"
Tang Sen said, "We can collect no high-quality war knives. The so-called "big hidden in the city, masters are among the people." There are so many smelting and forging masters among the people. If the emperor can face such folk artists, procuratorially recruit them to smelting swords and treat them with courtesy, I believe that those forging masters will definitely be grateful and will do their best to forge weapons and equipment for the army. However, without high-quality war horses, we can buy them. Choose high-quality stallions and mares from them, so that they can mated and gave birth to their children. In this way, a powerful Tang Dynasty cavalry unit can be formed. As for other combat formations, etc., it is actually used by the generals. Based on so many factors, by that time, the Tang Dynasty cavalry will be invincible cavalry that has always been invincible in the world. The strong wind storms, sweeping thousands of miles, and the horse's hooves will be the Tang Dynasty."
Emperor Tang smiled and nodded, "What a 'horse hoof tracing place, that is, the Tang Dynasty'. Your idea is also very good, it is worth a try." Then he said to the officials: "My dear friends, I believe everyone can see the performance of several new Jinshi. Chen Jiangliu is quick-witted and has outstanding performance. I have chosen him as the top scorer in the new college. Do you have any objections?"
"The emperor is wise and has a wise eye to recognize the pearl!"
"Since that's the case, Chen Jiangliu responded to the order."
"I respect the heavens, and the emperor ordered the emperor to "Seeking new scholars, and I have many talents in the Tang Dynasty. Now Chen Jiangliu has extraordinary talents. I have appointed him as the top scholar in the new scholar and I will report to the world to this."
"Thank you for your kindness." Tang Sen also knelt down helplessly and accepted the order. If he did not kneel, he would be thrown into the Heavenly Prison at the least, and would probably be pulled out and cut off directly. As for the nouns of other people, Emperor Taizong was not so interested and handed over to the Secretariat and the Ministry of Rites to rank. However, Tang Sen was called by Emperor Tang and had an in-depth conversation. During this conversation, Tang Sen more systematically and comprehensively explained many strategies for governing the country, which was deeply praised by Emperor Tang. Emperor Tang wanted to arrange for him to enter the Secretariat to serve as an important position, but Tang Sen politely refused, saying that he had only so many abilities and was finished after he finished speaking. Even if he held an important position, he might have only a few moments. He also said that he was devoted to the Buddha and begged the emperor to beg him to become a monk and pray for the people of the world.
Emperor Tang was stuck for a long time by Tang Sen's request. Unexpectedly, a talent he had finally obtained was to become a monk. After thinking about it, he said, "You should write your "Governance Strategy" first, and then talk about becoming a monk."
Tang Sen had no choice but to obey the order. What the emperor wanted him to do, he had to do. It was not that he was afraid of the emperor, but because Emperor Tang was also a key figure in the "intelligence mission" and was indispensable!
