After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Xiao Ningle really couldn't figure it out, so he hurried into the Xuanzheng Hall to look for Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi had just finished reading the memorial and saw Xiao Ningle coming angrily, and asked, "Who made you angry?"

"It's not you!" Xiao Ningle put Gu Yu's article in front of Xiao Yi and said, "Isn't Brother Gu Yu's article worthy of a Grade A rating? Why did you ask Prime Minister Gu to give Brother Gu Yu a T. "

Xiao Yi asked Xiao Ning happily, "What is the purpose of the scientific examination?"

Xiao Ning happily said: "To recruit talents for the imperial court, and to find talented parents and officials for the common people."

Xiao Yi nodded and said: "Since you know this truth, you should understand that Gu Yu's life is not long. No matter how well he answers the test papers, he is still unfit to be an official in the court. Why occupy a Jinshi quota, besides..."

Before Xiao Yi finished speaking, Xiao Ningle said angrily: "How can you be so unfair? Shouldn't the scientific examination only be based on actual performance? You can definitely add more Jinshi places, but it's not because he's dying soon. The list, Gu Yu's elder brother's talent, he should be above He Yu!"

Xiao Yi frowned slightly and said, "Niannian, it's because I dote on you too much. Is this how you speak to your father?"

Xiao Ningle heard Xiao Yi's slightly angry words, pursed his lips and knelt down and said, "Daddy! This is brother Gu Yu's last chance."

Xiao Yi said: "Gu Yu had opportunities before, but he didn't cherish them.

What the court needs is an official who can serve the court, the society and the people, not someone who hides in the city of Hangzhou for eight years for a woman! "

"But brother Gu Yu didn't just sit idle, he has been cultivating He Yu all the time!
It is because Gu Yu's elder brother placed He Yu's expectations on him, taught him carefully, and only hoped that he could realize his dream.

It can be seen that brother Gu Yu still has the imperial court, country and society in his heart! "

Xiao Ning said happily: "Brother Gu Yu's article is not wrong this time, you must let brother Gu Yu enter the list!"

Xiao Yi said in a deep voice: "The list has already been released, how can it be changed?"

Xiao Ning happily said: "Then Prime Minister Gu made a mistake..."

"Xiao Ningle, the matter of the scientific examination is not a trivial matter. As the prince, don't mess around. How can the scientific examination be changed at will?"

Listening to Xiao Yizhi's angry words, Xiao Ningle knelt straight and said, "Father, I asked Brother Gu Yu to take the scientific examination. This is his last chance. I don't want him to die with regrets. You can't Because he is not in good health and will die soon, so treat him so unfairly!"

Xiao Yi said: "You have to read the test paper written by Gu Yu carefully."

Xiao Ningle read it word by word. Three of the five questions about current affairs were about taxation, and two were about water conservancy projects. They are also first class.

Looking at the essays again, Gu Yu's articles are far better than all others. His writing style is sophisticated and his points are clear, and they are all correct, but they are D-level.

Essays have to be first-class to be shortlisted.

Xiao Yi said: "The title of this essay is "How to choose the importance of agriculture and business."

Xiao Ning said happily: "Yes, Brother Gu Yu's answer is well-founded. He thinks that merchants and peasants should not be prioritized, but that the two should complement each other. Isn't that what you mean? To do business in foreign countries, we should not put more emphasis on agriculture than business as we did when the country was founded, and we should not underestimate merchants...

Brother Gu Yu's writing is well-founded, what's wrong with each example? "

Xiao Yi said slowly: "Go and read those first-class articles again. As He Yu wrote, it is impossible for merchants and peasants to coexist peacefully. Merchants value profits. Take Hangzhou City as an example. Originally, the mountains were all farmland. But because tea and silk are exported to foreign countries.

Farmers have changed to plant mulberry trees and tea trees, and the food is far from enough. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, the food in Hangzhou City is far from enough for the local people.

Nowadays, many small towns in the south of the Yangtze River, which were originally lands of fish and rice, abandoned their farmlands one after another seeing the popularity of tea and silk in foreign lands. The crops in various places are decreasing year by year. They should pay more attention to agriculture than merchants and increase taxes to preserve food.

Or, as Ouyang Xin, the head of this year's article, said, it should be based on the region's emphasis on commerce and agriculture, or the emphasis on commerce and agriculture. This is the most taboo in policy essays in Jinshi. There is no middle choice for this topic, because commerce will inevitably There is light agriculture, but heavy agriculture must suppress business! "

"Gu Yuzhi's literary talent is indeed the first. Although it is also well-founded, it is full of nonsense. What I don't like the most is such empty words. What I want is for officials to be firm in their own ideas, not to think Both sides are reasonable, if you think both sides are reasonable, there is no need to ask this question.”

Xiao Ningle understood what the problem was when Xiao Yi said so, "But brother Gu Yu is a scholar, so he certainly doesn't have the insight of others."

Xiao Yi said: "There are very few young people who can pass in the Jinshi department, just because young people have little experience. Although I don't care about their age, I care about their understanding of the way of life!"

Xiao Ningle said slowly: "Brother Gu Yu, is it true that he has no chance? Daddy, can't you make an exception?"

"The grades have been determined, every year, this is a scientific examination, it's not an ordinary thing, I can do whatever you want." Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Ning who was kneeling and said happily, "Get up, be careful of knee pain."

Xiao Ningle held the test paper tightly, and after kneeling for nearly two quarters of an hour, she staggered a little when she got up.

As soon as Xiao Ningle returned to the East Palace, He Yu carried Rui'er to Xiao Ningle and said, "Niannian, guess what I found? This child can really understand me..."

Before He Yu finished speaking, Xiao Ningle said sullenly: "He Yu, I'm very tired, there's nothing important to talk about later, I want to take a bath first."

Xiao Ningle had been studying with Gu Yu since childhood, and she had seen Gu Yu's talent. At that time, everyone said that it would be great if Gu Yu was healthy.

In Xiao Ningle's eyes, Gu Yuzhi's ending shouldn't be like this, he shouldn't have such regrets, his talent can't even be without fame.

He Yu saw that Xiao Ning was exhausted with joy, and said: "Master can't get in the list, do you need to be so sad? Don't forget how much effort I put in for today, and I didn't see you say congratulations, let alone you have the slightest joy."

Xiao Ningle frowned and said, "Do you really want to be jealous at this time?"

He Yu said: "Then do you have to have a mournful face on this day of great joy? It's hard for me to be a Jinshi. There is no reason why I won it overnight. You don't know that you are happy for me, but you are running around for Gu Yu. Really I don't know who is more important in your heart, me or Master."

Xiao Ruier flinched in He Yu's arms, and came again. He remembered that his parents often quarreled because of Gu Yu at that time.

Little Rui'er didn't want to lose her mother's love that she had so hard to get, so she burst into tears.

Xiao Ningle heard Xiao Rui'er's cry, she also shed tears and said: "He Yu, you and I have a future, but brother Gu Yu is gone, this is his last chance, in the end he still leaves with regret. go."

He Yu said coldly: "Then do you think that when I was in high school, my wife didn't even have a smile, so I have no regrets?"
