In the next few days, military generals from various factions were warned not to dare to impeach Xu Jingchang again. Suddenly, there were many fewer memorials in front of Yunxi. Yunxi used the prepared methods to deal with pure civil servants, and finally dealt with the matter.
.
Immediately, the palace examination was held on the sixth day of April. On this day, just like all previous examinations, those who passed the examination lined up outside Chang'an Gate early in the morning. After dawn, they walked through the many doors and arrived outside Fengtian Palace.
, then he followed the order of the waiter and went forward to pay homage to Yunxi.
Although Yunxi had already presided over a palace examination, he was still very interested and looked at the people in front of him who were about to become Jinshi with great interest.
‘This man is Zhou Shu? He looks like a talented person, and his face is full of righteousness. He really looks like an upright minister.’ Yunxi thought.
Among the scholars in this subject, the one that Yunxi attaches most importance to so far is Zhou Shu. He had previously put forward a neutral view in the debate on Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and even made remarks when the Neo-Confucian school was rejected by others.
The idea of completely abolishing Neo-Confucianism attracted Yunxi's attention.
He silently recalled the answers he got when he asked Xie Jin and others. "Your Majesty, I am a fellow villager of Zhou Shu. I also had many contacts with Zhou Shu when I lived in the hometown. This man is indeed a filial and benevolent person, and he must be your Majesty's subordinate."
A good minister." Xie Jin said.
"Your Majesty, although I passed the Jinshi exam earlier than Zhou Shu, Zhou Shu only missed it in the second year of Jianye because his biological father died of illness and he was a filial piety. Zhou Shu is profound in knowledge and is superior to his ministers. He is also very upright. If Your Majesty orders him to know
There must be no omissions in the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple." Jin Shan said.
Jin Shan and Xie Jin are both his valued ministers, and Yunxi will of course take their words seriously. But they are all fellow villagers of Zhou Shu. At this time, fellow townsmen are natural friends. Most of them will exaggerate Zhou Shu's ability, so they cannot be fully believed.
.
'I don't know how the local Jinyiwei's investigation is going. The things he has investigated must be sent to the capital as soon as possible. Otherwise, how can I choose his official position? Or, I can appoint him as the official of Zhongshushe in two or three years.
Will he be sent abroad as an official again?' Yunxi thought.
Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Xi came to his side and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's time to start the exam."
"Oh, let these people sit down and get ready, and order the waiters to distribute the test papers." Yunxi came back to his senses and ordered.
Zhou Shu didn't know that he had fallen into Yun He's eyes. After paying homage to the emperor, he sat down in the first row, took out the wolf brush and inkstone he had prepared, poured a little warm water and started grinding.
At this time, the waiter had also begun to distribute the test papers. As the leader of the meeting, Zhou Shu placed the first test paper on his table.
Zhou Shu, who was grinding the inkstone, took the test paper, put it on the table, and was about to continue grinding the inkstone, but he accidentally saw the question and was stunned. Not only him, but many tributes were stunned the moment they saw the question.
, were all stunned for a moment.
What caused them all to be stunned was of course the question of this year's imperial examination. The question was:
In the seventh year of Taiping and Xingguo's reign, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty moved the Dingnan Army's Jiedu envoy Li Jishan to the interior of the country in order to level the Hetao and Ningxia. However, some members of the Li clan stayed in the area and failed to move inward, causing chaos in the area and preventing them from moving for several years.
put down.
Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty gave up his intention to directly administer the land of Hetao and Ningxia in order to pay for his teachers. He allowed the Li clan to inherit the army as a military governor and give them annual coins to stabilize the northwest. However, Li Deming's son Li Yuanhao later refused to submit to the Song Dynasty and founded the country.
The Xia Dynasty, also known as Xixia in history, had been conquering the Central Plains for many years, and the money spent by the Song Dynasty was ten times that of Song Taizong.
(End of question)
This question is not difficult to understand, and the direction of the answer is also very clear, but the content is a bit scary. Generally speaking, although later dynasties will comment on the gains and losses of the previous dynasty, the comments on the previous emperor are generally made by the current emperor.
, ordinary ministers would not dare; but this question is tantamount to asking them to criticize the failure of Song Taizong's original decision-making, which is quite rare.
