Chapter 282 Investigating Talents
The examination papers of these eight extremely outstanding scholars were listed individually and distributed to many scholars to watch. Immediately, they became the most outstanding talents in the four fields at present, and their reputation spread far and wide. Of course, as Chen Deng, Guan Ning and others who have long been famous are not counted, but Liu Bei, Zhao Shuang and others have suddenly emerged, especially Liu Bei. Before the assessment, no one had even heard of his name.

The children of the Yuan family, the Xun family and other aristocratic families also occupy the top positions on the list. Their test papers are also very outstanding, but Wang Fu just didn't list them at the top of the list, so he didn't mean to suppress them. Don't care, as long as you can pass the assessment, what are these?

Liu Bei and others instantly became powerful young talents in Luoyang. Many important ministers even invited them to the mansion for a gathering, but they were about to meet the Holy Son of Heaven. At such a time, they did not dare to attend without authorization. Some kind of banquet, I'm afraid it will cause some troubles. After all, there are still many people who oppose the scientific merit system.

After waiting anxiously for several days, the time finally came to meet the Holy Son of Heaven.

The eight people were neatly dressed and were led by the yellow gate into the palace. Liu Bei carefully followed the crowd with his head down. After walking for an unknown amount of time, another eunuch came to pick them up and told them some basic things. Etiquette, and the rest, are either from a wealthy family or people who are familiar with rituals and music. Liu Bei is mixed among them, so he can only listen carefully to the eunuch's explanation.

The eunuch brought them into the main hall and stood at the door without going in.

A few people walked in, and the Holy Son of Heaven was sitting in the main hall, surrounded by seven or eight yellow gates, with his head bowed completely. Liu Bei was trembling slightly all over. Chen Deng, headed by him, bowed to the Holy Son of Heaven. Liu Bei hurriedly followed, and everyone Kneeling, just got up again, the emperor raised his head, those extremely sharp eyes swept over one by one, no one dared to look at the emperor, and then the emperor's eyes became kind and gentle.

"Hahaha, gentlemen, please stand up and sit down."

Several people just sat down one by one. The emperor smiled and looked at them. Chen Deng cupped his hands and said, "My servant is from Huaipu, Pihuai. Uncle Chen Qiu, Zhi Taiwei, uncle Chen Yu, prefect of Wujun, uncle Chen Cong, prefect of Ruyin, former Taiwei Qiao Gongcha elected me as Xiaolian, magistrate of Dongyang County, returned because of my mother's death Home. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation!"

"Four generations of Zhongliang, very good, good!" The emperor praised.

When Chen Deng introduced his family background, he was neither humble nor overbearing. Of course, he didn't intend to show his prominent family background, but to explain to the emperor that he had never had any bad records of loyalty for generations, that's all.

With Chen Deng making a good start, the scholars who followed would know what to say.

"I'm a native of Zhuxu County, Beihai County. Guan Ning, whose name is You'an, was born after Guan Zhong, the famous Prime Minister of Qi State. His ancestor, Guan Ling, came to Jinan. !"

"After the name and appearance, good!"

"Your Majesty, Zhao Shuang, a native of Wu County, Wu County, Yangzhou, is a descendant of Zhao Zhuanghou. He has been good at numerology since he was a child, and he visited famous teachers everywhere. Thank you for your majesty's appreciation!"

"I don't want to be the empress of a famous general! Shan!"

"A native of Zhuoxian County, Zhuojun, Chenyouzhou, Liu Bei, styled Xuande, was born after Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, Zuxiong, was promoted to Xiaolian, and was promoted to Fan Ling of Dongjun County. After finishing speaking, the emperor stood up in amazement, his eyes were a little complicated, and he stared at Liu Bei for a long time, Liu Bei was a little terrified by the emperor, the emperor just clapped his hands and said: "So it is my younger brother!"

Liu Bei hurriedly bowed and said: "I am ashamed and dare not be ashamed."

"You are a child of the Liu family. Why don't you dare to be humble? I am very happy to have a child like you in the clan!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"My minister is from Dongwuyang, Dongjun, Yanzhou. Chen Gong, whose name is Gongtai, has no family background. When he was young, he worshiped Han Zhonghuang and Duke Han as his teacher. He listened to his teaching and got nothing."

"Gongtai, do I remember you, do you remember me?"

"I will live up to your grace!" Chen Gong bowed heavily.

"I am a native of Gai County, Le'an County, Qingzhou. Guoyuan, style name Zini, my family background is not obvious, and I worshiped Zheng Gong as my teacher when I was young."

"it is good!"

"Cui Yan, a native of Dongwucheng County, Chenqinghe County, named Jigui, is the son of Cui Shi, the current Guanglu Xun. He is a teacher of Manan County."

"Good!" The emperor nodded.

There was only one person left, Cheng Yu who had been silent all this time, who was also the crown of the law.

Cheng Yu pursed his lips, then cupped his hands, bowed to the emperor, and said:
"Chen Yu, courtesy name Zhongde."

The emperor was taken aback, and the people around him were obviously a little surprised. The emperor waited for a while, and saw that this person had no intention of speaking. Is this the end? ?The emperor frowned, thought for a moment, he remembered that this person was also famous in the heavenly book, he thought for a moment, then smiled, nodded, and said nothing more.

Afterwards, there was a banquet. The Yellow Gate brought food and drinks, and the emperor personally entertained them. This made these young talents extremely happy. Only Cheng Yu, who had no smile on his face, was cold and cold. The rest of the people all wanted to distance themselves from him. For some reason, this person always looked a little gloomy, but he still respected the emperor very much.

The emperor asked them one by one, asking about laws, farming and mulberry, etc., and everyone answered one by one. The emperor was very happy, so he asked about the people and other things. Without thinking about it, Guoyuan actually gave a lot of good things. Among them, the most important thing is how to cultivate intensively. For this aspect, Guoyuan, who is not very old, is still quite proficient, when he asked about the official school.

Guan Ning immediately expressed some of his own opinions. It can be seen that they have thought about it for a long time and are well prepared. They are not afraid of the emperor's inquiry, but are very happy to have the opportunity to be in front of the emperor To show off his knowledge, Guan Ning is very familiar with Confucian classics, and he even recites some classics backwards, and the emperor is amazed by it, but unfortunately, he is not a ram.

When asked about the law, the Son of Heaven did not simply inquire, but instead asked how the Han law should be enforced in the land of Sanhan, because there is a lack of officials here, and the people in Sanhan do not know the Han law. Some behaviors that originally violated the Han law, or violated the Han law with their original habits, how to implement it and other topics.

Everyone looked at Chen Deng and Cheng Yu, Chen Deng opened his mouth and said: "When the local Sanhan officials study the law, govern them with their own officials, correct their bad habits, make appropriate expediencies, and send their young children to government schools. After a year, it will definitely be fully implemented.”

Everyone looked at Cheng Yu, who was as cold as ice, and Cheng Yu looked at the Son of Heaven, and said, "Teach, punish the offender."

Well, another masculine official.

The emperor thought in his heart, and looked at Liu Bei with a smile. Liu Bei trembled all over, don't ask too difficult questions.
"You are the best in numerology, and you must know it. Let me ask you, do you think that the surplus is not enough, the surplus is sufficient and the deficiency is sufficient, and the two are full and the two are not, can it be regarded as nonsense?"

Liu Bei stared blankly at the smiling emperor in front of him.

Yin what? ? ?
