Yunxi immediately turned to the home page to see this person's name.
‘Yang Zirong? Why don’t I remember such an outstanding person in history?’ Yunxi was confused.
'Forget it, never mind, it's probably something that happened in history.'
Yunxi turned to the back again and continued to read his article. The more he read, the more frightened he became, and the more he read, the more happy he became. He couldn't help but say, "How did he come up with this?"
"Your Majesty, what?" Wang Xi, who was boiling water and making tea, didn't hear what Yunxi said clearly. He thought Yunxi was talking to him, so he said immediately.
"Nothing, keep making tea." Yunxi said.
Yang Zirong's article mentioned Tubo at the beginning. That country that stretched across western China during the Tang Dynasty once occupied the entire Western Region, once occupied Xichuan of the Tang Dynasty, and once occupied Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. For a while, it was out of the limelight.
two.
But by the Song Dynasty, Tubo had become a very weak country, and was even divided into several parts that attacked each other. Why is this?
The answer given by Yang Zirong is: their entire family believes in Buddhism. And it is not an ordinary belief, but a true and complete belief.
After that, Yang Zirong listed many words in the Buddhist scriptures. It seems that he has also done some research on Buddhism, proving that Buddhism can wear down people's hearts. Even Wu Zetian's defeat in the war against the Turks was attributed to her belief in Buddhism.
Then he came to the conclusion: If you want long-term peace and stability in northern Xinjiang, you must spread Buddhism to the Mongols. In order to reduce the Mongolians' defensiveness, it is best to use the Tibetans to preach to the Mongols.
Yunxi was filled with admiration: 'There are people in the Ming Dynasty who can see things so clearly? It's unbelievable. I don't know how he saw it.'
Yunxi admired him for a long time, then thought again: "Such an article will definitely not be to the taste of the examiner, so how on earth did he get selected by the examiner? Even though he is only among the last few?"
Confused, Yunxi hurriedly opened his Jingyi paper, read all the copies reviewed by the three people, and said to himself: "No wonder, three hundred points, these people must be reluctant to let him be so talented, and they don't want to do it."
I liked his strategies, so I ranked him at the bottom of the tribute list."
Yunxi wanted to change him to be the first in the examination, but he knew that he could not. If Yang Zirong was designated as Huiyuan, the ministers would immediately find out his true thoughts, which was unacceptable to the civil servants. Yunxi
I can only endure it temporarily.
'However, the palace examination will be held in a few days. During the palace examination, I will read all the strategy papers myself, and they do not need to be made public. Even if Yang Zirong's palace examination strategy paper is not satisfactory, he can still be regarded as the top scholar.
.'Yunxi thought.
Yunxi, who had made up his mind, said to Wang Xi, who had already made tea: "When you leave the palace, call all the marking officers for this examination and ask them to bring all the examination papers."
Wang Xi accepted the promise and retired.
Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and the hunger that he had not felt before came to him. He called Huang Lu and the others to come in and returned to Kunning Palace for dinner.
But even during the meal, Yunxi was very happy when he thought of Yang Zirong, and it showed on his face naturally. Xiyao was a little surprised and said: "Husband, what's going on?"
Because Yunxi could not find anyone who could share this joy, he said happily after hearing Xiyao's words: "After reading the papers of the candidates for the general examination this afternoon, I discovered an extraordinary talent."
After listening to Yunxi's words, Xiyao smiled and said: "Congratulations to my husband, I have found a talented assistant again."
After dinner, Yunxi returned to Qianqing Palace and waited. After a while, the marking officials who Yunxi had sent arrived.
After they finished saluting, Yunxi took out seven test papers and said to them: "I don't think the papers of these people are good! You can make up for the next few candidates."
They didn't dare to neglect, and immediately handed over the papers for the seven people who were originally ranked 101st to 107th. At the same time, they looked through the papers for the people who were dismissed by Yun He.
"It's enough that the five who wrote about the marriage were deposed, but the two who said they would send troops again to clear out the imperial court are not welcome at all!" Most of the reviewing officials were confused.
However, Xia Yuanji and Su Youxue, two people who have followed Yunxi for some time, probably understand Yunxi's thoughts.
Yunxi sat on it and looked through the policy papers of these seven people. There was nothing too disgusting, so he said: "Let's take it one by one, from ninety-fourth to one hundred."
Everyone agreed.
Yunxi added: "I still have some opinions about the ranking. This one is called Yang Bo. I think it is inappropriate to give him the thirty-fourth place. He should be ranked in the top ten anyway; this one is called Jin Shan, and he is twenty-seventh." It’s not appropriate either, let’s change it to fifteenth place,…”
Everyone agreed one by one.
Yunxi's changes were not big, just some fine-tuning; his purpose of reading the policy paper in person was to prevent the admission of candidates whose ideas were very different from his. To really know his intentions, he had to wait until the imperial examination.
After Yunxi finished his instructions, he said: "That's all I have to say. You can go down." After saying that, he handed them the test paper beside him.
But just when they took the test papers and turned to leave, Yunxi suddenly remembered something again and said, "Wait a minute."
Everyone hurriedly stopped and turned around to listen to Yunxi's words.
Yun He asked: "In this examination, are there any candidates from the British vassal state? Are there any candidates from the Min vassal state? Are there any candidates from the Qin vassal state?"
Xia Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, there is one candidate from the Ying vassal country and two candidates from the Min vassal state; however, there are no candidates from the Qin vassal state."
Yunxi patted his head: I really forgot. Now the Qin vassal state is not in his official fiefdom, and Shazhou is still part of the Three Qin Dynasty. Naturally, there will be no successors from the Qin vassal state; the Min vassal state himself told Zhu last year There used to be a separate provincial examination, but it was normal to have two subjects. However, the British Empire did not have a separate provincial examination last year, and it was incredible that someone still passed the examination!
According to Yunxi's plan, if you want these vassal states to not break away from the Ming Dynasty in a few generations, you must first ensure that the Ming Dynasty is always strong, secondly, let the Ming Dynasty and these vassal states form an economic community, which will be discussed later; thirdly, The point is the flow of talent.
A talent system with full mobility and the highest talent certification standards in the hands of the Ming Dynasty can greatly promote the talent of the vassal state to not want the vassal state to break away from the Ming Dynasty.
The military commanders allowed the sons of the military commanders in the vassal state to study in the martial arts hall in the capital, and the literati were of course the imperial examination and the Imperial College.
Yunxi said: "Among these three candidates from the Ying vassal state and the Min vassal state, has anyone been awarded a tribute?"
"None of the three of them passed the Gongshi examination." Su Youxue replied.
"Immediately register the governor of the Ying vassal state as a tribute. Where are the papers of the two governors of the Min vassal state? Let me take a look." Yun He said.
Xia Yuanji immediately took it out and handed it to him.
After reading it, Yunxi said: "This one is called Xin Lu, and he is also a tribute scholar."
