Chapter 583 Liang Envoy Arrives Again (Thanks to the literary youth c for the reward)
The imperial examination has brought many opportunities to Taiyuan's commercial development, especially the late-night entertainment industry.

Xueba scholars have relatively strong self-control and are unwilling to lose their future because of their own moral problems at this juncture. After all, these people belong to the minority.Most of the scumbags didn't take it too seriously, and they couldn't pass the exam anyway, so it's better to have a good time.The half-barrelled scholars half-pushed and followed along.

Then, the girls in the four commercial markets in the east, south, west, and north of Taiyuan ushered in a big business explosion, singing and singing every night, and being fed by scholars who had nowhere to put their passion.Of course, the pockets are also well fed.

After the exam, waiting for the test results is a long torture.This point is the same whether it is a scholar who is a bully or a scholar who is a scumbag.

The grading of the policy question test is much more cumbersome than the previous two, because this test is more comprehensive and there are no fixed answers.To some extent, the answers to some scholars' questions may meet the taste of one official, but not the taste of another official, making it difficult to make decisions.

However, there are still basic requirements. Those with illegible handwriting will be removed in the first round, and those with no words will be removed next, and the rest can enter the final selection.

This time Jiang Chengxiao didn't check the papers one by one in person, because the workload was too much, so he asked the six ministers and several servants to review the papers together, and then read the final ones by himself.

After entering September, the government was running smoothly, and it was flourishing under Jiang Chengxiao's diligent governance, and no one anywhere dared to have any wrong thoughts.

The result of this was that Jiang Chengxiao was exhausted and had to rest temporarily after Sun Shichang's diagnosis.

Although, Jiang Chengxiao felt that he was young enough to resist, but Sun Shichang's words of "falling to the root of the disease" made Jiang Chengxiao obediently rest.

His job is a constant battle, the longer he can live, the better he can do it.

After three days of rest, Jiang Chengxiao returned to work.After three days of grading papers, the graders below sorted out a dozen of the best policy question papers.

In the back garden, Jiang Chengxiao looked at the examination paper quietly, while the six ministers on the other side knelt respectfully, either tasting tea or admiring the scenery in the garden.

Pei Ju had heard about the recent rest of the king, but according to his observation, the king seemed to have no major problems. Compared with Emperor Li's diligent administration, King Zhao seemed to be more inclined to combine work and rest.

This made Pei Ju very entangled. He supported King Zhao and hoped to become a famous minister in the hands of King Zhao and even pass down his history, so he hoped that King Zhao would be more diligent.But he didn't want King Zhao to be too diligent and catch everything at once, which would probably follow in the footsteps of Emperor Li.

Thinking about it, Pei Ju felt that he was worrying unnecessarily. How long can he stay in court at his age?
It's a pity, if he was younger, he might really be able to assist King Zhao to achieve a great cause.

"This one is pretty good about writing about Bashu. It can be used to govern the people of Shu." Jiang Chengxiao put down the question paper and praised with a smile.

Yu Shinan leaned forward with a smile and said, "We all think so."

Wei Shijian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, had a different opinion, "My lord, I think that the article on the grassland is good. Many ideas have opened up paths that have not been explored before, and can be adopted."

Jiang Chengxiao picked up the test paper that Wei Shijian said, frowned and shook his head, "Naturalizing the barbarians is not a long-term solution after all. I will naturally surrender to the strong and powerful barbarians. If I relax a little bit, the barbarians will definitely make progress. This strategy It’s okay to use it in a peaceful and prosperous age, but now that the world is uncertain, it’s not advisable.”

After all, put down the test paper.

Wei Shijian felt a little pity and didn't say any more.

"Everyone, for the first volume, who do you think should be No. 1?" Jiang Chengxiao asked with a smile.

There is no need to ask, the ministers quietly rolled their eyes.You all said that the one that wrote about Bashu was good, who would dare to say that it was not good?
Therefore, everyone felt that the writing about Bashu was good, and gave No. 135 points.

As for why five points were deducted?

This is not easy, how can anyone give full marks for the composition.

Besides, if Jiang Chengxiao gave full marks, wouldn't that mean that he thinks this policy question is very good? For a ruler, his preferences should not be too obvious.Deducting five points is not too much, not too little, so that everyone can understand that this policy question is well written, and it will not make others think too much.

Set No.1, followed by No.2 and No.3 and so on.

After finishing, Pei Ju asked: "Your Majesty, how much will you choose this time?"

King Zhao never talked to them about this issue, and they didn't know what standards and ideas King Zhao had.But now that the exams are over, it should be clear.

"Using sixty points as the benchmark, one out of ten is better than lack."

hiss--

The six ministers all took a deep breath. What they said meant that only those with a total score of [-]% or more, and [-]% out of [-]%, was too cruel.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chengxiao said again: "The top ten scholars in the total score, the imperial court issued a letter to inform the counties and counties to promote their names."

"Yes."

After getting the specific details, the six ministers immediately went down to add up the scores.

The first imperial examination was successfully completed, and Jiang Chengxiao was slightly relieved. During this period of time, he was still worried that someone would jump out and make trouble, but he was worried in vain, and no one jumped out.

The sunshine in September is warm and the air is very friendly. I don’t want to move when I lie in the back garden.Compared with the heavy government affairs of the Chuigong Hall, this place is undoubtedly more attractive.

But he knew that this was only temporary.

At this moment, Nan Jiyun walked over.

"My lord, the Liang Guo envoy is here."

"Liang Guo?" Jiang Chengxiao was startled.

How could there be an envoy from Liang Guo at this time?
The two countries of Jin and Liang have parted ways because of the battle of Bashu, and they are basically enemy countries. Liang should not send envoys at this time.

"When did they come, why haven't we heard anything?" Jiang Chengxiao frowned.

"Prime Minister of the Liang Kingdom, Cen Zhenben, came here anonymously and is currently staying at the Honglu Temple."

anonymous?

Jiang Chengxiao's face showed a little playfulness. He knew about Liang Guo and Xu Guo secretly hooking up. What did they mean by quietly coming to Taiyuan at this time?
Want to blackmail Xu Guo?
No, it wouldn't do them any good to have Xu Guo in the dark.

Jiang Chengxiao closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said, "Is there any news from Chen Guo?"

"I'm going to report it to the Lord." Nan Jiyun took out a letter and handed it to Jiang Chengxiao.

Jiang Chengxiao opened it and looked it over, jokingly said: "So that's it, this Chen Qiujin's brain circuit is really different from others."

The letter was sent by the Northern Jin Dynasty's detailed work in Chen State. It mentioned the recent movements of Chen State, mainly referring to Chen State's transfer of troops to the border of Liang State.

It seems that, according to the news from the elaboration, Chen Qiujin is going to take advantage of Liang Guo because of Liang Guo's defeat in Bashu.

At present, the Northern Jin Dynasty stationed troops in Zigui, Badong County, and Liang Guo had to transfer a large number of superior troops westward to guard against the Northern Jin Dynasty. This gave Chen Guo a chance to do something.With the Northern Jin Dynasty involved in the west, Chen Qiujin felt that the Liang State had no courage to fight against him, so he grandiosely deployed troops at the border to attack the Liang State.

At this time, Liang Guo sent envoys here, probably for the sake of repairing the two countries.

The reason why Chen Qiujin's brain circuit is different from ordinary people's is because Jiang Chengxiao himself didn't expect that Chen Guo still wanted to attack Liang Guo at this time, and his cheap mother Xiao Tong must be going crazy.

Xiao Tong was indeed driven mad by Chen Qiujin. He originally thought that if the Northern Jin Dynasty defeated Bashu, even if Chen Guo didn't form an alliance with him, he wouldn't be able to stab him in the back.

But the truth is, Chen Qiujin was really going to stab him.

Xiao Tong really wanted to spray Chen Qiujin's head full of feces in person. When the hell is this? He still can't see the situation clearly. Do we have to wait for the Northern Jin Dynasty to destroy the state of Xu? Help the mediocre to wake up?

Isn't everything too late for the damn thing!
"Leave him alone first." Jiang Chengxiao said lightly.

Anyway, now that the faces of the two countries have been torn apart, he doesn't need to be used to it.

What's more, now he has an overall advantage. If it weren't for the stability of internal governance this year, Jiang Chengxiao had already planned to let Pharmacist Li go down the river to take Jiangling directly.

The ambition of the Northern Jin Dynasty is known to everyone in the world, and Jiang Chengxiao has no intention of maintaining superficial peace with a group of rebels.

Nan Jiyun said: "That Cen Zhenben heard that Empress Xiao in the palace gave birth to a prince, and wanted to enter the palace to pay her respects."

Jiang Chengxiao's expression was strange, did he want to take the harem route?

"Has Concubine Xiao received the news?"

"Not yet. The Honglu Temple only arranged for Cen Zhenben to stay temporarily, and did not pass any news for him."

"Well, let Cen Zhenben stay at Honglu Temple first. You go and send an eagle letter to Chen Guo to find out what happened."

"Yes."

Nan Jiyun withdrew.

Jiang Chengxiao rested for a while before preparing to go to the Chui Gong Palace. The imperial examination is not over yet.
