The first place is established, so there is no objection to the top three.
Zheng Zhuang was recommended by Ji An for second place, and Ning Cheng was recommended by Zhang Tang for third place. In this way, this examination is already quite strong in terms of gold content. The top three candidates all came from two positions in Liu De's previous life.
A giant with an official rank of more than a thousand stones.
Liu De then looked at the other 80 people, and discovered among them more than 20 people who were famous in the previous life. In the end, there were more than 10 people who were officials and county guards.
"I really want to take them all under my command..." Liu De drooled and fantasized as he looked at the names that had once been so powerful in history.
Such a concentrated emergence of talents during this examination was also caused by the shortcomings of the recommendation system. Many capable young people, limited by the high threshold of the recommendation system and the bureaucrats' conservative style, could only waste their time.
As soon as the examination appeared, they were sifted out of the sand.
"What a pity..." Liu De sighed. Among these people, he had too little room for choice.
Now, he has already decided on Yan Yi, Zhu Fu Yan, Zhou Yuan, and Sima Xiangru, and there are only eight places to choose from.
Among the remaining eight places, at least four descendants of Chehou must be selected.
"There must be two scholars from Guanzhong!" Liu De rubbed his temples and thought. There is no other way, it is just political correctness. For the Han Dynasty, Guanzhong is its real foundation. To win over and bribe Guanzhong
My dear, this is a political decision that cannot be more correct.
As for fairness? Where can there be true fairness in this world?
Therefore, there are only two places that you can truly choose freely.
How to use these two quotas needs to be carefully considered.
"Let's discuss the candidates for the second list..." Liu De looked at Zhang Tang and others and said. He took a piece of white paper and first wrote down Sima Xiangru and Zhou Yuan's pseudonym Zhang Jin on it, and then handed it to Zhang Tang for instructions.
He said: "Let Qing and the other three discuss the remaining candidates carefully!"
"Your Highness, what are the criteria for judging this B list?" Zhang Tang thought for a while and asked.
Liu Desa laughed and said: "Of course, after the loyal ministers, the meritorious disciples will be listed according to the distance and distance!"
This is what it should be, and it can be regarded as Liu De's reward for those Chehous who stood up and cheered for him.
It's just that this matter cannot be explained clearly, and Zhang Tang and others can only rely on themselves to understand it.
So, after saying this, Liu De stood up and said: "Please think about it carefully. I will go to the East Palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother!"
"Congratulations to Your Highness!"
…………………………………………
Liu De arrived at Changle Palace. He gave Empress Dowager Dou an eye exercise as usual. Then, Liu De reported to Empress Dowager Dou about today's examination, and then asked: "Grandmother, grandson, can you consider this?"
Still okay?"
Empress Dowager Dou smiled with satisfaction: "The Ai family is just a blind old woman. Living in the palace, how can she have any insights into the government? But Liu De, you think very carefully about things. This point, the Ai family should
Praise you!"
Liu De quickly gave Empress Dowager Dou a slap on the shoulder obediently and said: "Imperial Grandmother Miao praised..."
Empress Dowager Dou smiled. She did not answer, but said to herself: "The Ai family called Concubine Su over today and talked about that matter..."
"Concubine Su is very unhappy!" Empress Dowager Dou sighed.
More than just being unhappy!
Empress Dowager Dou recalled that although her eyes were blind, her ears were very sharp. She remembered clearly that when she proposed to adopt Liu De to Empress Bo, Su Ji's chest suddenly became short of breath. Her breathing became heavier and her fingers felt faster.
Pinched into the meat!
It was not because she was the Queen Mother. She took charge of the Queen Mother, had great power in the palace, and could abolish the concubines without a word. She didn't even need to tell the emperor. I'm afraid Su Ji would have gone berserk at that time.
Even so, when Su Ji walked, even her steps were a little frivolous.
"The Ai family talked hard and finally convinced Concubine Su to nod. There is no need for the Ai family to mention the next thing, right?" Empress Dowager Dou said lightly. Empress Dowager Dou is very experienced in dealing with concubines in the harem, and she has a long life.
The palace is a huge deterrent to all the concubines who come here. After all the concubines come here, they must think carefully about what happened to Mrs. Qi back then!
No matter how domineering Su Ji was, under her coercion and inducement, she could only bow her head and say yes.
For her, intervening in the matter of palace concubines, concubines, and heirs carries huge political risks!
If nothing else, once this matter spreads, her reputation among the people will suffer some damage.
But the risk is worth taking!
Why?
Who knew that Liu De had already made a verbal marriage agreement with Guan Tao and would marry Chen Ajiao in the future?
Chen Ajiao is the most precious person in Empress Dowager Dou's heart. In order to make Chen Ajiao live a better life and avoid having a wicked mother-in-law in the future, Empress Dowager Dou will not care if her reputation is damaged!
"In the future, you must treat Gillian well and never be wronged!" Queen Mother Dou turned her head and looked at Liu De with a pair of cloudy eyes: "If you let Gillian be wronged, the Aijia will not be lenient!"
"My grandson doesn't dare!" Liu De quickly knelt down and patted his chest and promised: "My grandson has promised to build a big golden house for cousin Gillian in the future. A man, he will keep his word!"
Queen Mother Dou nodded with satisfaction.
Without the beautiful oath of hiding the beauty in the golden house, Queen Mother Dou would not have promised her precious Gillian to others so easily!
"Then go and tell the queen..." Queen Mother Dou waved her hand and said, "The queen must be waiting impatiently too!"
Empress Dowager Dou was quite satisfied with the Bo family. Apart from being unable to have children, everything was in line with her vision of a daughter-in-law.
With Liu De's adoption, Bo's position is basically stable.
………………
Liu De bid farewell to Queen Mother Dou, left Yongshou Hall, and came to Shufang Hall.
Li Xin saw Liu De from afar, so he immediately came out to greet him and asked, "Your Highness is here at this time, but is there something wrong?"
Liu De nodded and said: "There is indeed something big to report!"
He asked: "Mr. Li, is your mother here?"
Li Xin laughed awkwardly and said: "What a coincidence! Your Majesty summoned you this afternoon, and the Queen went to Ganquan! Since it is an important matter, please tell this slave, and I will go to Ganquan tomorrow morning to tell the Queen!"
It was completely dark at this time, and it was difficult to leave the palace at this time. As for leaving the city? Without the emperor's edict, none of the city gate guards in Chang'an dared to let people out of the city privately.
Liu De also shrugged helplessly, and then told what Empress Dowager Dou had persuaded Su Ji.
When Li Xin heard this, his face immediately became serious, and he immediately said: "I will leave the city right now and go to Ganquan at night to meet Queen Tongbing!"
This matter must be resolved quickly to avoid long nights and endless dreams!
"Fortunately, I still have a talisman in my hand that was given by the late emperor to act cheaply!" Li Xin sighed and said, "I will go and get the talisman now!"
When Liu De heard this, he quickly dissuaded him and said: "No, the late emperor gave the order and it cannot be used except in times of crisis!"
The emperor and I, especially the talismans and edicts given by the late emperor, all have copies in the palace, and files will be created after each use.
If Li Xin uses that privilege rashly, there will definitely be sequelae, and he may even die!
Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the emperor. If the emperor's kindness is used as a slave, it is contempt of the emperor's kindness. A mere eunuch does not even need a trial or a reason, but just beats him to death with a stick.
But Li Xin smiled and said: "The queen is very kind to me. As long as the queen lives well, her life is just a matter of life. How can I be stingy?"
After Liu De heard this, he felt a little emotional. Every time a dog is slaughtered out of justice, it turns out that all of them are scholars.
In his previous life, his Hejian Palace had hundreds of literati at its peak, all of whom were served with high salaries. Unfortunately, when a disaster struck, they all dispersed, and only the eunuch Wang Dao accompanied him to death...
"There is no rush for this moment..." Liu De said: "There is still time to leave the city early tomorrow morning. Mr. Li asked himself, if Mr. Wu is there to help and take care of him, how long can he be free in this palace with his mother's character?"
Li Xin was silent, stopped, knelt down and said, "I obey my command!"
