Chapter 50: Abolition of the top three and establishment of champion 6
When Shen Yanshu's petite figure appeared in the Jinluan Palace, everyone couldn't believe that such a young boy could write such a profound article.
After they read the article, their first thought was definitely the same as what Nangong Brown had imagined, that he was an old scholar, or even a middle-aged man if he took a step back!
How could he be such a thin boy?
So when Shen Yanshu walked into the Golden Palace, everyone looked behind her, expecting to see an elderly scholar...
Shen Yanshu walked to the center of the Jinluan Palace without being humble or arrogant, and slowly knelt down: "Common man Chu Yuan, long live my emperor, long live him"
It wasn't until the name "Chu Yuan" was said from Shen Yanshu's mouth that everyone believed that she was "Chu Yuan" and there was no "old scholar" behind it.
Nangong Yuyi had been staring at Shen Yanshu intently, and seemed not sure that what he saw with his own eyes was "Chu Yuan." Surprise flashed in his eyes, but he concealed it
When Nangong Chifei saw Shen Yanshu, he was in a good mood and hurriedly said: "Pingshen, you can raise your head now."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Yanshu always felt that this voice sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, so when she raised her head, she wanted to see who this Emperor was.
It would be false to say that she wasn't surprised when Nangong Chifei's smiling face appeared in front of her eyes, but she soon regained her composure.
But she couldn't calm down in her heart. The emperor of Nangong Kingdom would actually run to grab the bed with her? Even if Simmons didn't exist in ancient times, he wouldn't be so backward that he would let him sleep on the floor? He actually went to where she was in a good mood to tease her?
But after thinking about it, she understood that Nangong Chifei was there for "inspection" and he just happened to be interested in her...
It seems that Nangong Chifei is a wise man
Nangong Chifei was a little disappointed. He originally wanted to see Shen Yanshu's surprised face, but her moment of surprise was almost short-lived. However, this disappointment was quickly replaced by the joy of seeing Shen Yanshu. He is really getting more and more excited now. I like this plain boy more and more.
Nangong Chifei deliberately said to Shen Yanshu in a very solemn voice: "Chu Yuan, I and the ministers appreciate your article, but the list of number one scholar has been sent out, and although the number one scholar has also been deposed, I still want to appoint you as the number one scholar. The number one candidate must be convinced by everyone. Are you willing to accept the palace examination?" The last sentence clearly contains expectations.
"The people are willing," Shen Yanshu said without any hesitation.
"Okay, in that case, I will give you a question. In order to avoid public opinion, I will give you the question that just tested the 'Three Talents'. If you become a high official, how should you manage the people?"
Regarding this issue, Shen Yanshu can be said to have it at his fingertips: "The best way to manage the people is to let them live and work in peace and contentment. The people's requirements are very simple. As long as they can comply with the farming season, the grain will not be enough to eat, and the grains will not enter the pond, and the fish will Soft-shell turtles are inedible; when an ax is brought into the mountains and forests, the timber cannot be used, and grains, fish, and turtles are inedible, and the timber is incapable of being used. This is the beginning of the kingly way, so that the people can live and die without regret. "A five-acre house with mulberry trees. A fifty-year-old can wear silk clothes, chickens, dolphins, dogs, and pigs, without losing their time. A seventy-year-old can eat meat. A hundred acres of land can be used without taking away the time. A home of several people." There can be no hunger; follow the teachings of Xiangxu, apply the meaning of filial piety and brotherhood, and award the white ones to live up to the road. The seventy-year-old will wear silk and eat meat, and the people will neither be hungry nor cold. However, there is no one who is not a king."
