Chu Ci is studying the tabloid, which was bought from a local restaurant. Like the restaurant in Yuanshan County at that time, every time, people will ask people to talk about the big and small things that have happened across the country.

While reading, Chu Ci wrote something on the paper. Although the questions in the past palace examinations were basically related to strategies for governing the country, administration, disaster relief, etc., if you can analyze it in detail based on the specific situation, the article

It will appear more touching.

Chu Ci spent a whole morning reading all the records in the past or two years, and then summed up some points.

First, in terms of disasters. The snow disaster in Mobei two years ago was the biggest disaster that has occurred in recent years. Apart from this, it is almost always a small fight and can be handled by local government offices.

The disaster relief strategy for the snow disaster in Mobei was written by Chu Ci. If this topic came out, Chu Ci would just write what he wrote last time again, and he could refresh his impression. If he remembered correctly, the late emperor was seriously ill at that time.

, This is what the current emperor, the second prince of the past, handled on behalf of him.

However, this kind of point-giving question should not be answered. But no matter what kind of disaster is, Chu Ci has a way to deal with it. Who says that modern information is widely spread? Even if you have not experienced it, you can still understand it from TV or newspapers.

The second is the aspect of official governance. Mr. Zhang Songnian wrote an article called "Fu on Officials and People" which fully demonstrated the corruption of the lower-level bureaucrats. If the topic of official governance is published, others may inevitably have the shadow of this article.

By the way, Lord Zhang is also a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, but Chu Ci did not see him this time. It should be because he has served as the chief examiner of the provincial examination. If he is appointed as the chief examiner of the imperial examination again, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be favored and end up being the name of a scholar by his love. Therefore, he

He had found another mission for himself early, and he would return to Beijing after he had tried it later. If he returned to Beijing, Chu Ci would have to visit him at home, so he would not be polite.

Finally, there is a strategy for governing the country. As the saying goes, "benevolent government is implemented in prosperous times, and heavy sanctions are used in troubled times. At present, the Great Wei Dynasty is in an opportunity to change the old and new eras. The two parties, the retro faction and the reformists, are fighting each other, although their original intention is for the good of the Great Wei Dynasty.

But in fact it is useless to the country.

Fortunately, Your Majesty is a skilled person nowadays. He sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, never biases against either side. He uses the method of radish and sticks to drive both sides to make efforts to make contributions, rather than defeating the other side by stepping on the other side.

Since Your Majesty is also a way of implementing the doctrine of the mean, Chu Ci decided his direction and still had to keep showing his voice and continue to do the mean, and not to point to any side. But there must be highlights. The article that is too plain is not read.

interest.

Alas, it's difficult!

...

On April 21, the students who stood out in this conference were waiting at the palace gate together, waiting for His Majesty to summon him.

There is no need to search the palace exam. One is because no one dares to cheat in front of the saint, and the other is because, since they have passed the exam, it means they have a ranking, and at the worst they are from the same Jinshi, so why bother to do this?

Chu Ci and Shen Congfei stood together and whispered. This time, Xijiang Province won more than ten. Although most of them ranked behind, they didn't care at all. The first place was in their Xijiang Province.

Being backward is just an erratic performance. Who dares to say that Xijiang Province is behind others?

At about the time of Chen, the palace gate that was blocking them slowly opened. A palace man shouted in his sharp voice: "Your Majesty has an order, please follow me to Baohe Palace quickly."

The students lined up in two rows and followed the father-in-law toward the inside. Inside the vermilion gate, the long aisle was endless to see at first sight. The walls on both sides were tall and solemn, blocking all the sunlight outside.

The leading eunuch was silent and his pace was in a hurry. The students followed behind, and did not dare to make a sound, but just followed him silently.

I don’t know how many aisles passed, and passed through several palace gates. When they stood in the square in front of Baohe Hall, they came to their senses and looked at everything around them with their excited eyes obscurantly.

After ten years of hard work, no one asked me about it, and once I became famous, I knew the world.

This is something I have experienced in this life, no matter how hard I worked before, it is worth it.

"Silent! Please ask all students to enter Baohe Hall and recite the name before you can go forward. When you test the first name, Xijiang Province Chuci comes forward!"

Chu Ci took two steps at a time, hurried forward, and then, led by a small eunuch, arrived at the entrance of Baohe Hall. The two guards standing at the door rode a spear, then searched him all over and found that

After he had no dangerous items, he let go of the crossed spears and signaled him to go in.

Chu Ci entered this extremely wide hall, stood in the middle and kowtowed respectfully: "Chuan people in Xijiang Chu Ci, kowtow to the emperor, long live my emperor."

"Don't give me a favor." The emperor, who was sitting in a high position, coughed, and then called him kindly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Ci got up and couldn't help but look up at the emperor. Then he found that his behavior was inappropriate, so he immediately lowered his head and acted humbly.

"Give Huiyuanlang a seat."

"Here." An eunuch replied, then led Chu Ci to the first seat on the left of the hall.

Someone came from behind, just like before Chu Ci, who first knelt down and then sat in his seat.

Chu Ci took advantage of this time to secretly look at His Majesty the Emperor.

The new emperor was about forty years old, with a pale face, and his slightly slender eyes seemed calm, but in fact, a dark light suddenly appeared in the flow.

Chu Ci couldn't help but his eyes were noticed by him, and he lowered his head after just a few glances. For some reason, he always felt that the Emperor Majesty looked familiar.

More than 200 people said that there was no more, and that was no less. After a quarter of an hour, they all entered the hall to sit down.

"All the talents gather together today and will become pillars of our Great Wei Dynasty in the future and manage the land and water. This is indeed a blessing for our Great Wei Dynasty."

All the students stood up and bowed to thank him, "Thank you Your Majesty for your praise. We will be trampled on our hearts and death. We will do our best to defeat the Great Wei Dynasty."

After saying the scene, the emperor signaled everyone to sit down, then he held a red pen and wrote a question on the imperial imperial edict.

The documentary reader stepped forward, respectfully received the imperial edict, then stood on the stage, and read aloud: "It's rainy this spring, the river embankment collapsed in a certain place, floods raged, flooding, flooding, flooding, countless farmlands and houses, people were displaced, and hungry people were everywhere. Those who governed the country should be the one who governed the country.

What is it like? What is it like for officials? What is it like for the people?"

While listening, Chu Ci wrote the title on the paper, secretly complaining to the emperor in his heart. He thought it was just about one aspect, but he didn't expect that it was about every aspect. Whether it was governing the country, administration and disaster relief were included.

It's really easy to save money.

Although I complained that the questions covered a wide range of questions, Chu Ci was still very confident in answering them well if he asked such questions.

He recalled some modern governance methods, summarized them in his mind, and began to write.

"A certain county was hit by disaster, the river embankment collapsed, and the people were displaced. This is a misfortune of the country. We are heartbroken... Those who govern the country should transfer food and grass from all over the country to relieve the hunger of the disaster victims. Two imperial envoys were sent to send two imperial envoys to the country.

, supervise each other along the way, and do not make the greed and ink happen again. In addition, officials from the Ministry of Works who are good at promoting water conservancy should be dispatched to go there, either repairing river embankments or digging river canals to divert water. Several doctors should also be sent from the Imperial Hospital to avoid

After the flood, the plague raged... Officials need to make a quick decision

At the beginning of heavy rain, I took precautions and ordered the people in the jurisdiction to move to high places to take refuge. If the opportunity has been lost, I will be calm and ordered the subordinate officials to dispatch ships to rescue trapped victims.

The court should set up a large amount of porridge sheds to provide relief to the victims. Officials must observe the details and do not let corrupt officials and officials trap the people in the water and fire... Those who serve the people should be self-reliant, young and strong, cherish the young and old,

Help each other when disaster occurs, or set up a self-rescue team, and take people who are good at water and rudder first to help their neighbors..."

Chu Ci wrote down thousands of words with a big stroke. Every word and sentence is combined with history and the future. Based on the people of this dynasty and the implementation plan in reality, this article was achieved.

.

He was already sitting in the first place, and the emperor could see him writing quickly as soon as he lowered his head a little. When he stopped writing, he breathed a sigh of relief and showed a confident smile on his face, the emperor noticed.

He looked around the examination room and saw that some of the students were frowning and pondering, while others were lying on their backs and putting down their pens. He got up and stood up from his seat and began to patrol the examination room.

Chu Ci rubbed his wrist, took out the answer sheet, and was about to start transcribing. A shadow suddenly covered him, and Chu Ci saw the corner of the bright yellow clothes, and his body was a little stiff.

After a while, he moved his body slightly to the side as if nothing had happened, so that the emperor could see more carefully.

The emperor was not polite, and saw that he was generous and took the article he wrote on the draft paper in his hand to read.

After reading it, the emperor put the manuscript back, and there seemed to be a little anger on his face. When the person with intention saw it, he thought about it and made a secret decision.

Chu Ci didn't know that it was bent, and saw that the paper had been put back, so he began to copy it on the answer sheet.

When the incense stick in front of the hall burned out, someone came down to collect the answer sheet and carried it to the cabinet, and the ministers reviewed the sheet. The emperor stood up and left, and everyone shouted long live, and greeted the emperor with respect.

It was almost noon at this time, and the emperor was kind to these students and gave them food in the corridor. Some students ate very gentle and were very careful in their movements. They took a small bite of the food in their mouths and chewed dozens of times before swallowing it.

They have self-knowledge, and maybe today is the most glorious day in their lives. This meal under the corridor will also be the most grand meal they have eaten.

Chu Ci felt a little depressed when he ate these steamed soft dishes. The shape of this dish looked good, but it was served from the imperial kitchen for a long time. The taste was already

He lost it. But he didn't dare to leave the rice, and he wanted to be like other people, not leaving a grain of rice and drinking all the vegetable soup.

After dinner, they entered Baohe Hall for a temporary rest. At this time, there were only a few eunuchs in the hall except for them. Some students walked around to communicate, and their faces became vivid.

Get up. But there are still some, but they still sit upright like before.

After staying like this for an afternoon, everyone gradually became a little anxious. At this time, the eunuch's voice came from outside the door: "Long live the emperor!"

Everyone quickly stood up and saluted, their hearts were extremely excited because the time had come to determine their destiny!

The emperor sat on the high platform, and several ministers from the cabinet had already come out, sitting at the emperor's head, facing these students.

The emperor looked at the ten answer sheets placed in front and began to read them one by one. When he saw the first one, he was stunned for a moment, and finally frowned and finished reading the first one. He frowned again, his brows even more

It's tight.

He didn't read the second article, but went straight to read the third article, the fourth article... until the tenth article.

"My dear friends, are these the top ten you have elected together?" the emperor asked, with an inexplicable expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, these are indeed the top ten recommended by us. Every answer sheet was discussed by the five of us." The Left Prime Minister was the highest official position, so he could only answer first.

His words meant a clear meaning, and he told the emperor that if you want to blame, blame everyone, but don’t blame me alone.

"Your Majesty, there is actually another answer sheet, which is neat and well-informed. But... we don't know how to deal with it." The right prime minister stood up and said.

"Oh? Why?"

"Mr. Wu said that this article was a taboo."

"What's the secret?"

"I violated the pseudonym used when the late emperor went out."

"Absurd! How could the pseudonym used by the late emperor when he was in the white dragon fish suit be widely known? Isn't it ridiculous to not rank among the top ten using this as an excuse? Present that article!"

Soon, someone brought up the article. After reading it, Emperor Tianhe directly commented on it.
To be continued...
