Han Shizu

Chapter 283 Chapter 108
Ping Bian Ce, the three simple words, are not plain at all. They clearly embody Liu Chengyou's ambition and aspirations. treat.Of course, it's not that mysterious, it's just the blessing of the emperor's status.

Four rows of examination desks are placed directly outside the Guangzheng Hall.It is both honor and pressure to answer in the majestic hall, especially when there are a group of ministers and well-known and well-known people from the third hall and Hanlin Academy to invigilate the exam.This palace examination was only initiated by Liu Chengyou's idea. Although the execution was rough, the scene was still serious and grand, and he paid attention to it.

And the people who took the exam showed a clear image, most of them were distressed and entangled, and their emotions were overflowing on their faces.The three-word proposition composition is not so easy to answer.However, there are always rare people who are very different from ordinary people.

In the front row of the hall, a dignified scribe is rare.He was dressed in plain robes, with a beard on his cheeks, but his face was slightly aged, it was Wang Pu.When he heard the words "Ping Bian Ce", his eyes lit up obviously. Compared with other people's hard thinking and meditation, his reaction was particularly calm. After thinking about it for a while, a peaceful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he retracted and picked up his pen. Just write.

The young man sitting next to him was Wang Pu, with a personable manner and a very beautiful appearance. When he noticed the movement of the "senior" next to him, he only glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and then he stabilized his mind and frowned deeply.Pick up a pen and write down the words "Ping Bian Ce".

After staring at the words and thinking for a while, I finally picked up the pen and sat upright. After some slight hesitation, I wrote down the text.Dripping and dripping, more than [-] characters were quickly and neatly presented on the paved paper. When he was writing like a god, he noticed that Wang Pu beside him had stopped writing.

He put the pen on the grid very calmly, checked it a little, put it down, raised his hand as a signal, and handed in the paper.Soon, some invigilating officials collected the papers and removed them from the hall. As for his book Ping Bian Ce, they were directly submitted to the examiners in the east verandah for reading and evaluation.The imperial edict issued by Liu Chengyou, for the sake of efficiency, gave instructions while answering.This action put pressure on the examinee. After all, the action was solemn and silent, but there was not much concealment.

As for Wang Pu, he was also affected a little bit, but the pen only paused for a moment, and then continued to write out the inspiration in his mind.However, there was a slight wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The champions of this palace examination, if nothing unexpected, should be Wang Pu and Wang Pu!" Looking at the situation of the palace examination from a distance, Zhao Shangjiao stroked his beard and said with emotion.

Tao Gu retorted quietly, "That's not entirely true!"

"What does Tao Hanlin mean by that?" After hearing what he said, Zhao Shangjiao asked Tao Gu with a glance.

"These two have literary talents, but they don't cause shocks and weeping ghosts and gods. What's the matter? It depends on whether what they wrote can be seen by the officials. How does Zhao Shilang know that the rest of the scholars are not astonishing?" On?" Tao Gu asked lightly.

Zhao Shangjiao nodded, but said in his mouth: "Tao Hanlin's words are very true. However, we think that the two kings are superior because they know the current affairs far better than others. Wouldn't it be beneficial for them to have a flat policy?" Express your thoughts?"

"As Minister Zhao said, it's true!" Tao Gu showed a slightly uncomfortable smile on Zhao Shangjiao's face, and pointed in the direction of the Zhengshitang: "But it's not certain whether it will meet the wishes of the officials. If not If you achieve what you want, I'm afraid it will be a disadvantage if you fall back!"

Tao Gu said this, as if he knew what he wanted.

Zhao Shangjiao looked away from Tao Gu, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, and made a simple bow to him: "What's the result, let me wait and see!"

"Wang Pu writes his pen and writes it so fast, but I want to see it!" After finishing speaking, Zhao Shangjiao went to the east verandah.

Looking at his back, Tao Gu glanced sideways at those scholars who were still writing essays, especially the few he liked, and slowly followed Zhao Shangjiao's back.From his heart, of course he is biased towards Wang Pu and Wang Pu. As for why he should refute Zhao Shangjiao, there is no need for a reason
Thinking of him, Tao Hanlin, who has followed the current emperor since the Qiandi, but this time, he was suppressed by an old man from the previous dynasty from the beginning to the end, so he was naturally unhappy.

However, if this campaign can be successfully concluded, he should also move his position, get promoted, and the emperor will not be stingy.Tao Gu has been yearning for the Zhengshitang for a long time.Probably full of anticipation for the future, Tao Gu's steps toward the east side of the Guangzheng Hall were obviously much lighter.

The time for the palace examination is limited to one hour.Although it was a palace examination, Liu Chengyou treated it with high standards, but he himself did not stay by the side to invigilate the examination all the time.

In the Zhengshi Hall not far from the Guangzheng Hall, Liu Chengyou was sitting in it, receiving Wang Zhang's report on the casting of money, which was the "homework" assigned by Liu Chengyou before.

Aiming at the current shortage of copper materials, Wang Zhang and his staff discussed several times in the past two days, and reached a preliminary result.

First, an imperial edict was issued to offer rewards for the exploration of copper mines in the territory, to collect copper smelting workshops all over the world, to prohibit private minting of copper coins in state capitals, and to send coin supervisors to various places for unified disposal and management.

Second, all non-governmental activities of melting money and casting utensils are prohibited, and legislation is made to collect private copper materials. All officials, officials and civilians who privately store more than five catties of copper materials can be convicted and punished according to law, and the maximum sentence can be death. .

Third, Wang Zhang directly suggested that the bronze statues and ritual objects of Buddhist temples all over the world should be confiscated.Obviously, the Buddha statues confiscated from the temple in the river gave him a taste of the sweetness.

"First collect the military workshop, and then close the bronze workshop. With this policy, I'm afraid there will be a wave of criticism in the world!" Hearing the report, Liu Chengyou said with emotion.

Military weapons - military power, bronze wares - financial power, without knowing it, Liu Chengyou has already cut Fang Zhen's power from two aspects.However, how to implement it has to be done slowly to see the effect.

Thinking about his actions in Tokyo, Liu Chengyou couldn't help muttering in his heart, and couldn't help but reflect, was he too radical?

After serious consideration for a moment, Liu Chengyou ordered: "These three strategies, continue to improve, implement the detailed rules, and consider the implementation situation. Without my permission, we will not publish it for the time being!"

Hearing Liu Chengyou's words, Wang Zhang was a little surprised, but seeing the determination in his flat expression, he couldn't help but agree.

Inquired about the state affairs in the Zhengshitang, until almost noon, the Guangzheng Hall came to report, and the palace examination was over.Only then did Liu Chengyou calmly go to Guangzheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, all the scholars have finished writing their answers. After repeated review by the ministers and others, a total of ten policy papers have been selected for His Majesty's review only, and the final ranking will be decided!" In the Guangzheng Hall, Zhao Shangjiao presented a stack of policy papers superior.

The table case in the hall has already been removed, Liu Chengyou directly ordered: "Call all the scholars to come to the hall!"

"Yes!"

When he was summoned, Liu Chengyou began to carefully examine the "roll paper" in his hand.

Soon, all the scholars entered the hall and worshiped in unison.Then, they waited honestly for the young emperor on the throne to make a verdict on their future.

There are many people in the hall, but it is very quiet, only the rustling sound of reading from time to time.There is no perfunctory, ten policy articles, Liu Chengyou read each one carefully, but the reading time is the longest on two of them.

After a long time, he swept around the group of people in the hall, cleared his throat when the atmosphere was at its most serious, and said: "After I have checked all the articles, each expresses his own opinion, and all of them are timely. Wang Pu of Yunzhou is the most suitable for me. , be the No. [-] scholar!"
