Chapter 568: Our weapons supervisor needs talents like you

Su You asked: "By the way, how did Su Yuanzhen rank in the palace examination?"

Lu Huiqing was the chief examiner, and Su Yuanzhen got sixth place with him in the previous examination, but this result could not be carried into the finals, because we don't know what the result will be in the palace examination.

Then I heard Lu Huiqing let out a long sigh.

Su You's heart suddenly tightened.

Then Lu Huiqing shook his head and said: "Alas... This time the imperial examination was done with poetry and prose and focused on policy theory. Many of the children of court officials who were under the influence and entered the officialdom first, as well as the scholars who have been tempered by practice... can be regarded as getting a big advantage.

."

Su You immediately beamed, but Lu Huiqing glanced at him: "As for Yuan Zhen's ranking...just look at the ranking yourself!"

Damn! Lu Huiqing was a famous traitor in history, but anyone who can leave a name in history, regardless of loyalty or traitor, has his own charm!

Looking at the emperor again, Zhao Xu showed no sign of telling him, so he could only hold back his thirst.

The car drove straight to Xuandemen, where Dengwen Drum Temple is located. Nowadays, there are many people crowding in. In addition to the sergeants who maintain order, there are also several officials, led by Zhengshi Wang Anshi.

The trial started today. In addition to a group of scholars, there was also a group of relatives of the emperor. The two sides faced each other with clear distinctions.

Su You helped Zhao Xu out of the car, turned around and shouted to the crowd: "What position did Su Yuanzhen get in the exam?"

The people in Bianjing love the Su family so much that many people immediately responded: "Young Master Wu Jiu is the number one in the top two!"

Su Yuanzhen's name comes from the Book of Changes. Before he studied in Meishan, Mr. Fan took the meaning of "Yuan Henry Zhen, no blame."

Integrate into the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty.

Su Yuanzhen also did quite well, and even earned the reputation of "the blameless young master" in the streets of the capital.

The top two is the fourth in the palace examination! Second only to Tanhua, in future generations he should be called "Chuan Lu"!

Then I heard the subordinate official shouting angrily: "The Holy Master is here! Don't make any noise!"

Zhao Xu stopped the subordinate officials and said, "Who beats the Dengwen drum? What's the grievance? Just tell me."

Two scholars came forward: "Liu Chong, the son of Xiuzhou, and Han Lu, the son of Pingjiang Prefecture, pay homage to Your Majesty."

Zhao Xu asked: "You wrote the report? The writing is very impressive, why don't you take the Jinshi examination?"

Liu Chong said: "People from the north have many grand essays, while southerners make poems and poems. We were originally going to take the examination, but this time, all poems and poems were abandoned. The bachelors made their own decisions and asked questions, which was no match for the scholars from Jiangbei. In addition, they ran out of money and were ashamed to see their parents.

, I had no choice but to take the Mingsu miscellaneous examination."

Han Lu said: "The same is true for students."

Zhao Xu asked: "If that's the case, just take the exam well. If you don't pass the exam, you have to try again in two years. Why beat the drum to complain?"

Liu Chong glared at Wang Anshi and Su You angrily: "A bachelor's degree ruins the country and ruins the way for scholars from Jiangnan to be elected; the emperor's relatives cheat and undermine the ambition of a poor family outside the capital!"

Damn it, Su You secretly admired it in his heart, especially if he hadn’t scolded himself, he was really good at writing!

Wang Anshi reprimanded: "Poetry is for cultivating the mind and character, but it is of no use to governing the country! The country seeks talents for the purpose of managing government and ensuring the peace of the people, and is not for giving you a salary for the sake of comfort! Don't mention this argument!"

Zhao Xu raised his hand to stop: "Let's talk about the matter, you are participating in the calculation course. Although it is a miscellaneous course, the imperial honors are not given to others lightly. What I want to ask is, why did the royal family cheat?"

Han Lu said: "After calculating the examination results, more than half of the candidates are named Zhao!"

The surrounding people were in an uproar, and the subordinate officials of Kaifeng Prefecture quickly suppressed it.

Zhao Xu looked at him meaningfully: "Are you saying that the imperial court's selection of scholars is unfair? Su You!"

Su You quickly bowed: "I'm here."

Zhao Xu looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Can you explain it?"

Su You said: "Your Majesty, I only select people based on their grades. One subject is clearly calculated. Grading is the simplest because it has standard answers. Right is right and wrong is wrong. You can see clearly after taking a look at the papers. Unlike the Jinshi subjects,

There are also people who don’t like layman Qinglian’s poems.”

Zhao Xu just pretended not to hear the last sentence, waved his hand and asked someone to get the test paper.

Su You then turned around and said to the two of them: "The Mingshu subject tests the ability of Mingshu. In addition to simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, you also need to use simple reasoning to solve complex problems step by step. The candidates' ability is tested."

Idea. What I want to ask is, did you solve the problem according to the idea, or did you only know the original answers to the questions in the Suan Jing of the Huang Song Dynasty and did not understand the reasoning behind it?"

The two looked at each other, and Han Lu cupped his hands and said: "Su Tanhua is a scholar of heaven and earth, and the students are naturally not as good as him, but we don't believe that the Zhao family members are all better than the students!"

Su You spread his hands: "Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"

Liu Chong said angrily: "The imperial court's selection of scholars is unfair. Apart from the examiner leaking the test questions to them in advance, we can't think of any other possibility!"

Su You said: "Let's not worry about this for now. It's very simple to prove. Let's look at the test paper first."

After a while, the test paper was delivered. Zhao Xu grabbed it first, turned it over, and asked the clan crowd: "Is Uncle Twenty-one here?"

A teenage boy from the clan came out. He was dressed like those members of the run-down clan, but he was polite and had a calm expression. He bowed and said calmly: "Guan family, I am here."

Zhao Xu sighed: "Uncle Twenty-one, why are you doing this?"

Pu Wang Zhao Yunrang gave birth to a total of twenty-two sons, among whom Yingzong Zhao Shu was the thirteenth and Zhao Zongyou was the twenty-first. They were twenty years younger.

Ancient people got married early, so Zhao Zongyou was Zhao Xu's biological uncle in terms of seniority, but in terms of age, he was actually several years younger than Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu respected this young uncle very much, because when Zhao Yunchu, the king of Boping County, had no children, everyone said that Zongyou was a good child, so Renzong issued an edict to let Zhao Zongyou adopt Zhao Yunchu to inherit the title.

Zhao Zongyou went to Renzong and cried: "Unfortunately, I lost my parents at a young age. I will mourn them all my life and endure being an afterthought! I dare to die."

Renzong also took pity on him and agreed to his request.

Historical records record that Zhao Zongyou was "a self-restrained man, as dignified as a poor scholar, good at reading, and especially liked to study "Yi"." He was a rare figure in the clan.

Even under Wang Anshi's new law, Zhao Xu's uncle no longer reduced the scope. Now Zhao Zongyou actually has the salary of the Qing Navy's military governor, so there is no need to take a trip into this muddy water.

Zhao Zongyou bowed and said loudly: "The changes in the imperial court began with the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasties. I reasoned that the changes in the royal family began with the close relatives of the official family. I was good at arithmetic when I was young, and thought that there might be something wrong with arithmetic.

I am sure of it, so I boldly stand for election, thinking that I will set an example for the country, and I don’t dare to sit down and eat nothing.”

Su You only corrected the papers without checking the names, which can be said to be quite irresponsible. Now he took Zhao Xu's test paper and looked at it, and was shocked: "Full marks! Everything is correct!"

He was so happy that he forgot the occasion, turned around and said to Zhao Zongyou: "Our weapons supervisor needs people like you..."

Suddenly I thought of the disgusting QQ expression in later generations, and I shut up immediately. Why the hell did I become the eunuch of Dongchang!

I quickly found the test papers of the two candidates. When I saw the results, I shook my head. When I saw the chicken and rabbit in the same cage, they both endorsed the party!

He immediately asked: "Have you memorized "Sun Zi Suan Jing"? How do you solve this problem of a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage?"

Han Lu spoke eloquently: "In Sun Tzu's Suan Jing, there are chickens and rabbits in the same cage. There are thirty-five heads on the top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. What is the geometry of each chicken and rabbit? Mr. Xiao Su made a mistake in this question!"

The question...is...wrong...

Su You had a black line on his forehead: "Okay, even if I am wrong, then I ask you, how to answer the original question in Sun Tzu's Sutra?"

Liu Chong said: "This is a coincidence discovered by the sage."

Su You shook his head: "But it's not true. If it has two heads and six legs, it must be a chicken and a rabbit. If it has three heads and eight legs, it must be two chickens and a rabbit."

The common people in Bianjing knew how to calculate these two questions, so they couldn't help but whisper to each other.

Su You continued: "Based on this, there will be many questions and many answers, but there is only one answer for each question. You don't think about the reason, you just swallow it and fail, how can you do it?

Blame others?"

Liu Chong was dissatisfied: "What about this little emperor's uncle? Can he?"

Before Su You could say anything, Zhao Zongyou said calmly: "Of course I will."

The people in Bianjing City like smart young people the most. If this young man is from the royal family and has an excellent reputation, they will like him even more.

Everyone showed excitement.

There are many allusions in Bianjing, and it looks like we will add another one.
