Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 65 Not bad, just because he is still a child... (please collect and ask for tickets)

Li Langzhong turned his head and glanced at Chen Shilang with some astonishment, thinking that the other party was testing him, he immediately said without thinking.

"The Analects of Confucius postscript is good, it can be regarded as the best.

However, the meaning of the ink is really incomprehensible to the lower officials, and it can be said that it is full of mistakes and omissions.

Like the story of Zheng Boke and Duan Yuyan, let him explain it so that it is difficult to look directly at..."

At this moment, Chen Shilang coughed lightly from behind, and felt the heavy force on his shoulder.

Li Langzhong blinked his eyes, and the tone of his words changed slightly.

"However, according to the opinion of the lower officials, this candidate should be too young, and has never read "Spring and Autumn".

But being able to explain its true meaning with words alone is indeed a worthy talent. "

"It makes sense." Chen Shilang's gratified voice sounded behind him as expected.

"Wu Shangshu was full of praise for his two policy questions, and this official also thinks that this is a good policy for managing the world and benefiting the people.

I don't know what Li Langzhong thinks? "

Hearing this, Li Langzhong smiled confidently, and pointed like a sword, swipe across the two policy questions.

"Chen Shilang really asked the right person. Judging from the papers read by the officials, many candidates have brilliant writing and beautiful rhetoric.

But the whole article is empty, only empty talk, full of empty words..."

"However, these two policy questions seem to be crudely written on the surface, but in fact they have great ingenuity and clumsy writing power.

The language is simple, and the writing style is fresh and straightforward, like a sharp knife, pointing directly at the root of the problem.

It is hearty to read, and it is indeed a rare and thought-provoking masterpiece. It is not an exaggeration to classify it as the best. "

After a passionate speech, Li Langzhong showed a very humble expression.

"Of course, this is just the official's own biased remarks, please correct me by Chen Shilang."

Chen Shilang couldn't help but take a second look at Li Langzhong, he is not bad, he is a very good middle-aged talent with great potential.

"Li Langzhong's words are very suitable for this official, but there is one thing that this official thinks should be said to you, Li Langzhong."

"If you know that the author of this question is an eight-year-old Kaimeng who has only been born for three years.

Only then will you know how precious these two theories are. "

Li Langzhong was really frightened, his eyes widened in disbelief and he turned to Chen Shilang.

"It's only been three years since I was enlightened. Doesn't that mean that this Juzi is a rare child prodigy in the world?"

"If that's the case, then it's not an exaggeration to define a superior."

#####
In the end, the very empathetic examiner who knew how to figure out the boss's mind gave a first-class evaluation.

Seeing that the first-time examiner was so kind, Chen Shilang patted the subordinate's shoulder with satisfaction, and then walked away unsteadily.

Over there, Wu Shangshu was also strolling, admiring the answer sheets of those candidates.

The more I read, the more I felt the quality of Gao Zhang's young man's policy questions.

In fact, it is far above these policy questions that quote the scriptures throughout the text, but do not have their own ideas and means of solving problems.

However, before all the candidates' answer papers have passed two or three grades, everything can only be hidden in the heart...

Wu Shangshu and Chen Shilang were sitting in a small room drinking tea and resting, talking in a low voice.

After almost a day, the two of them strolled and browsed, and they really didn't see any more exciting articles than Gao Zhang's two policy questions.

Gao Zhang's two policy questions are so wonderful in terms of their core.The only thing lacking is its writing.

But for Wu Shangshu, an important court minister who is concerned about the country and the people, no matter how gorgeous the writing is, what is the use?
Scholars and scholars are selected for good talents and beautiful jade that can help the world and the people, not for a bunch of nerds to follow the scriptures.

This is why, since the reform of the imperial examination system in the Song Dynasty, no matter how much the old and new parties have repeated.

However, regarding the reform of the imperial examinations, from the past to judge the superiority by poetry and prose, it has become the regulation that the superiority is judged by policy questions, and it has not changed.

This can also be regarded as the only institutional reform that reached a consensus between conservatives and reformers in the Song Dynasty.

"Shang Shu, judging from this, the lower officials actually feel that the leader of the provincial examination in this department may be a little different."

Hearing Chen Shilang's half-joking and half-serious ridicule.

Wu Shangshu chuckled happily, stroked his bushy beard, and spoke leisurely.

"Young talents have existed since ancient times. Husband Xiang Li was the teacher of the sage at the age of seven, Gan Luo was the prime minister at the age of twelve, and Wang Bo wrote the extraordinary essay "Preface to the Pavilion of the King of Teng" at the age of fourteen..."

"Even in our dynasty, Yuan Xiangong Yan Shu's fourteenth Jinshi and the first place are also a good talk for the world.

If there is really no article that can compare with those two policy questions, why not judge Gao Zhang as a provincial scholar based on these two masterpieces? "

Having said this, Wu Shangshu's voice became deeper and deeper.

"Both of you and I have seen his handwriting, and he is so skillful and proficient that he may not have practiced it for ten years.

However, it has only been a few months since the official creation of the thin gold body.Such miraculous things are enough to show that this son is absolutely extraordinary. "

Chen Shilang, who was also aware of such strange things as the official granting the thin gold body in his dream, was stunned for a long while before speaking in a low voice.

"Saving yuan, will it appear..."

"Since the reign of Emperor Renzong, our Great Song Dynasty has gone from bad to worse, and it will be difficult to return to the former prosperity...

Over the years, the court has been full of traitors and sycophants, faint... ahem, loyal officials are hard to find in the court.

This Gao Zhang made the old man see an extremely rare opportunity. "

"If you pick out any of these two policy articles of his, it will be enough to embarrass all the lords in the court who are eating vegetarian meals."

"The most important thing for this old man is the second policy question he wrote. It's a trick that spreads to everyone, it's simply tingling.

But when I think about it carefully, I have to admit that it is indeed possible to limit excessive land annexation.

And it can also allow those people who have lost their land to continue to rely on those big landlords to survive. "

"As for his desire to solve the refugee problem, he found another way and thought of Xiang Jun.

The refugees were organized into the Xiang army, and the merits were used as relief.Such a method is simply a stroke of genius..."

"My Great Song Dynasty has accumulated evils for a long time, redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses are even more serious problems for all the princes in the court.

His policy question can not only solve the problem of refugees, but also give the Xiang army, which the country spent money and food to raise, a place to use. "

"The combat strength of the Xiang army is naturally needless to say, but if they are used to dig canals and build roads..."

Looking at Wu Zhizhong, who is highly respected and highly respected in the court, even in the face of Cai Jing's treacherous minister, he dares to be tough and does not hesitate at all.

Hearing him talking eloquently in front of him, it is obvious that he has already been moved, intending to make Gao Zhang into a province.

Chen Shilang's head was extremely large, facing his highly respected immediate boss, he couldn't help reminding him.

"But he's an 11-year-old kid."

"Yes, it is because he is still a child, only 11 years old." Wu Shangshu said with great certainty.
