Long Hong added, "Originally, there was a palace examination mechanism for the top three. However, now it seems that they are superior and inferior. It is clear at a glance. Besides, I have watched this child grow up, and he is also a very good child.
.That’s him, right?”
"Grandpa Huang, I have no objection to Ouyang Xiu being first. But what about second and third?"
Long Jingkuang picked out two people, one of whom was Li Ranwen, the sixth young master of the Li family, and the other... a man named Qin Zishu. The name seemed very familiar to him, and he had never heard of it before.
"This Qin Zishu is also an insightful person."
Long Hong said, "His strategies for governing the country are also very novel. Li Ranwen, the son of the Li family, is also a talented scholar. Although he may not be as talented as his second brother, among this class of students, if Ouyang Xiu was not determined,
If he participates, with the influence of the Li family in the court, I will give him the first place and fulfill his reputation of being the number one scholar in the Li family..."
"But now it's impossible to give Li Ranwen the first place."
Long Jing said madly.
"So, yes, let's take second place."
Qin Zishu had to settle for third place.
"Is this Oriental Chess here too?"
Long Jingkuang was surprised. With Dongfangqi's vision, he could actually enter the top ten?
"Could it be that the Left Prime Minister knew about the mention in advance? Is this his opinion?"
It looks a bit like Dongfang Fengyuan.
"Tiger father has no dog son!"
Long Hong smiled, "With Dongfang Fengyuan's arrogance, it is impossible for him to reveal the topic to his son. Besides, the topic was set by Jing'er the day before the invigilation. I believe Dongfang Fengyuan doesn't know what the topic is.
When it comes to literary talent test, even I don’t believe that Dongfang Qi can be ranked among the top ten. If the martial arts champion is tested, there is some hope of being ranked among the top ten. But Jing’er, don’t forget, this time it is a test of governing the country. Then Dongfang Fengyuan
I have taught Dongfang chess since I was a child, and what I have said is exactly how to govern the country. Even if you don’t have the ability to practice Dongfang chess, even if you use Dongfang Fengyuan’s arguments, you will still do well in the exam."
"This is quite an advantage for him."
Indeed, Dongfang Qi took advantage. During the exam, he was originally afraid of writing, because he knew how capable he was. But when he saw this question, Dongfang Qi suddenly thought of what Dongfang Fengyuan often said in the past,
So I tried to write, and I actually managed to write something for him that looked exactly like it. It was really profitable.
…
Three days later, there was no imperial examination and the imperial examination rankings were announced directly.
Ouyang Xiu ranked first.
Li Ranwen was second.
Qin Zishu third.
Numbers four to nine are relatively unfamiliar, and number ten is Oriental Chess.
…
This time, Ouyang Xiu stole the limelight, especially because his farming tools were made by the palace's craftsmen according to the drawings and then distributed to farmers for testing, and they really achieved results.
First of all, it saves manpower. Secondly, such a tool is better than manpower, and everyone likes it.
And the name Ouyang Xiu also spread to the mainland in the shortest time. After other countries received the news and learned about this farming tool, they all rushed to imitate it. For a time, Ouyang Xiu became the most famous person in the entire continent.
.
Long Hong had long wanted to recruit Ouyang Xiu into the cabinet, so he took advantage of the situation and let Ouyang Xiu into the cabinet.
His fame, his talents, and Long Hong's high regard made Ouyang Xiu become a new noble in the court in the shortest possible time, and a true minister of the emperor.
Dongfang Lian naturally sees these things.
Ouyang Xiu is a piece of sparkling gold. As long as he wants to shine, he will definitely do so. He has never worried that he will become dusty.
