Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 810 The book is beautiful, trying to figure out the meaning

The choice of this topic made everyone present look at each other, because the content involved was something that no one had expected in advance.

Some of them had heard about the assessment before they came here, but they also knew that it was not a test of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so they guessed that it was a test of school knowledge or specific things.

Now let’s listen to the previous sentence. Many people secretly think that if it’s not about knowledge and scriptures, it must be about specific things. I didn’t expect that this thing is so general. It directly skips the tedious details, goes straight to the core, and simply asks them if What should I do as a general to conquer the north?

"That's not an easy question to answer."

On the low table next to Chen Zhi, Ji Zuo suddenly chuckled and couldn't help but mutter.

Unlike those scholars from aristocratic families in the courtyard who had their own goals, Ji Gui did not have to remain happy and relaxed on the outside, but he had to worry about the selection on the inside, because he knew very well that his performance in Daibei New City in the past six months had been greatly improved by Chen Zhi. More importantly, he would come to Dai County in person once a month. Taking the opportunity to report on the progress with Chen Zhi, he would discuss some topics, sometimes classics and articles, sometimes anecdotes. Both sides There is already a friendship.

This time Chen Zhi called him and Ruan Qing all the way over. He definitely didn't want to come over to watch a show. He must be entrusted with an official position, otherwise he would be suspected of being contemptuous of his subordinates.

With this premise, when he saw the performance of the family members in the courtyard, he naturally felt a sense of superiority, as if he was watching others perform in an opera, and he could comment more easily.

His voice was overheard by Ran Zhan beside him, who couldn't help but ask: "Ji Jun, what do you say? I think this question is quite normal. The one the lord wants to recruit this time is the General's Mansion. Isn’t it a very important question to ask your subordinates? You can also identify who are worthy of development.”

After listening to the question, Ji Zuo pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Ran Jun, there is a reason for this. The key issue is that the master is here." He looked at Chen Zhi calmly.

In fact, the attitude towards Ran Zhan, Ji Kui, Ruan Qing and others is quite contradictory, because people like them actually come from aristocratic families, and they are large families with heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy. They have their own traditions and pride, so naturally they are very interested in martial arts. There is a certain prejudice.

Not to mention that Ran Zhan's background is actually not good. Although his skills are amazing, his origin is from a military family. The people who are closer to Zhan are actually the Yang brothers.

However, Chen Zhi had mentioned this issue, either explicitly or covertly, and had a hint of warning.

Ran Zhan didn't notice anything because his consciousness was relatively low, but Ji Zui knew very well that Chen Zhi didn't want Ran Zhan to be overly excluded. This was different from conflicting opinions and mutual checks and balances. It was a sign of estrangement between camps. In view of this, At this time, they were all trying to get along with Ran Zhan normally, at least in front of Chen Zhi.

"Could it be that they are worried that after revealing their plans as generals to conquer the north, they will offend the lord? Make the lord think that they have evil intentions? But this is the topic chosen by the lord, isn't it just to see their abilities?" Ran Zhan didn't have a clear view of the interpersonal relationships behind it, and was still full of doubts.

Su Liao, who was next to him, also came over and said with a smile: "Ran Jun, you are usually careless and careless, and you don't see the deep meaning behind many things. What do you think is the most important thing about being a subordinate in the General's Mansion?"

"Of course it's ability! General Mansion, I heard that you are going to fight on horseback. If you don't have ability, how can you stand firm?" Ran Zhan said it naturally, but mid-sentence, he suddenly came back to his senses and added, "Of course, loyalty is equally important. You must be absolutely loyal to the lord!" Ji Zui couldn't help shaking his head and laughing as he listened, while Su Liao smiled and said: "Although what you said is right, what is really needed is far from that. Apart from ability, In addition to loyalty and loyalty, there are many things to consider. One of them is the way to get along with superiors and subordinates. The question asked by the Lord is actually divided into two aspects: internal and external. The question itself is a test of ability. It depends on what the person can do. Whether you are qualified for the position in the General's Office or not, that's the question."

"What about outside?" Ran Zhan asked.

Su Liao did not answer, but looked at Ji Sui.

Ji Zuo understood, and continued: "Outside of this, we use the positioning of this question to see if the answerers can grasp the answers just right. Their answers must not only show their own level, but if they can match the It is great that the masters have similar opinions. In addition, they must also know clearly that they are only making suggestions, not making plans. This allows them to show their sense of proportion, because once they become subordinates, they are assistants. In the general's mansion He has the power to make decisions within his jurisdiction, but when it comes to the development direction of the entire force, the real decision maker is the general himself!"

"Oh? It means that the answer must show knowledge and understand the mind of the person who asked the question. It's so complicated." Ran Zhan's response surprised Ji Zui. He actually didn't expect that a simple explanation could convince Ran Zhan. Zhan understood the deep meaning inside, but he didn't expect that the other party's opening would hit the key point.

Su Liao said: "Actually, I think that this kind of assessment that tests internal and external abilities has certain promotion value, and counting what he did in Luoyang, this is not the first time that my lord has implemented this method, and he obviously has a special liking for it. Situations like this will probably happen more often in the future, but I don’t know to what level my lord plans to promote it.”

After hearing this, Ji Zuo couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

On the other side, while several people were talking, some of the people sitting down had already started writing furiously, as if they were confident.

This action naturally attracted the attention of many people. Su Liao, Ran Zhan and others looked over and immediately recognized Tang Zi from the Tang family.

"This Tang Zi is really capable." Ran Zhan commented after seeing the person clearly, "I have dealt with him several times, and he is really a capable person. Compared with my subordinate Gao Bing, I don’t want to give in too much.”

As soon as he said this, others couldn't help but curl their lips.

What is the origin of Gao, and what is the origin of Tang Zi? Although the latter is a branch of the Tang family, but now he is getting more and more attention in the Tang family. He is already the leader of the next generation, and Gao is not just a Goguryeo who claims to be a descendant of the Han family. , Comparing Tang Zi and Gao, even Su Liao and others feel that Tang Zi has been humiliated.

On the other side, compared to the relaxation and comfort of Chen Zhi's subordinates, the people from the aristocratic families who were watching seemed to be on pins and needles, because the results of this evaluation are likely to affect Daijun in the next few years or more than ten years. The structure and ranking of the aristocratic family did not allow them to ignore it, so that the original joyful atmosphere disappeared, and a sense of solemnity gradually became stronger.

After a while of burning incense, someone finally stood up and finished answering the question. However, it was not Tang Zi who was the first to write, but Liu Qing from the Liu family.
