Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 329 Mr. Hu has committed a heinous crime?

Chapter 329: Mr. Hu’s crimes are extremely heinous?

"The man is definitely guilty, but if the woman counts it as self-defense, then she is certainly not guilty. But does injuring someone in self-defense count as self-defense?"

A candidate who was taking the examination for the Ministry of Punishment Yamen looked at the first question on the test paper in his hand and almost gnashed his teeth and muttered.

He always felt like he was trapped in some mysterious whirlpool, with mountains of swords and seas of fire on the left and right. Even if he gritted his teeth and moved forward, there would still be a grinning tiger blocking his way.

It seems that no matter which way we go, it is always wrong, but at first glance, this road seems to be a particularly easy one.

This situation is not only unique to the Ministry of Punishment examination room. Candidates in other examination rooms also wear masks of pain at this time.

They, who have been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, have never seen such a "pragmatic" topic.

There is no analysis of the classics and meanings, and there are no poems and songs, just the most practical and practical content of the daily work of the major yamen.

This simple fist plan completely confused all the candidates.

As for the official recruitment examination this time, because of Mr. Hu's reforms, the examination rooms were invigilated by officials from each major government office.

At that time, on the one hand, it was because the Ministry of Rites was short of manpower, and on the other hand, it was Mr. Hu's intention.

Since we have to give some credit to the major yamen, how can it be enough to just issue test questions? Add invigilation and marking, and that is the complete system.

Either don't give it, or give it a full set. Anyway, it is the Ministry of Etiquette that is leading this exam, and I will give away the credit for the little bits and pieces. Then it will definitely be good to you, good to me, and good to everyone.

The Ministry of Rites is also a sensible person, so naturally there is nothing to object to.

But the officials from various yamen who came to share the credit finally got to enjoy themselves.

Although they did not participate in the previous question setting, as the invigilator, they can see the test questions now.

Looking at these familiar test questions, all the old fritters in the major yamen were so happy to take them on the spot.

Don't blame them for being happy, many of them have heard these students' daily talks.

There is really no respect at all for people like them in his words.

They talk a lot but don't do anything, and they are busy with their work. It seems that they are all idlers with empty official positions, but in fact they have no ability at all.

Okay, now, aren't you saying how awesome you are and that you will give us old-timers something nice to look at when you come in?
Come!
Give you the pen, you write!
Nothing special, just the most basic daily affairs in the yamen!

come on!

You are awesome, come on!
Hahahahahahaha...

The invigilator Yiying looked at the confused and head-scratching expressions of all the candidates, and was so happy that he went crazy.

Now they finally realize the happiness of Mr. Hu!

That's how it should be!
If you can't even solve this trivial matter, why are you talking about becoming an official in our Yamen?

If this little thing can't be solved, then when you come in, you can't ask me to help you with the work!

Therefore, it seems that all the candidates in the examination room are about to have their scalps picked out, but the invigilators are grinning happily.

The main theme is one of schadenfreude!
A candidate is really having a headache right now.

Where have they come into contact with this in their daily lives?

Whether they are taking the exams for the Ministry of Punishment or the Ministry of Work, the Ministry of Rites, or the Ministry of Household Affairs, they still read the Four Books and Five Classics on a daily basis. Being able to know how to write official documents is considered to be a very solid "business ability".

But faced with the professional affairs of these major yamen, many candidates simply don’t know where to start.

Many people unconsciously put the blame for this matter on Mr. Hu.

In their opinion, without Mr. Hu, there would never have been such a weird test question.

Thinking of Mr. Hu, all the candidates were gnashing their teeth.

Among them was Fang Xiaoru, who had been with Mr. Hu day and night for several months.

He applied for the Ministry of Rites. After all, in his opinion, the Ministry of Rites is a "noble official", so this is still the right path.

But he didn't expect that the examination papers from the Ministry of Rites would be like this.

He could barely come up with the memorial text, but some of the words and sentences needed to be carefully considered to avoid violating taboos.

But what the hell are these proclamations and etiquette?

Does the Ministry of Rites still do this on weekdays?

The key point is, if the Ministry of Rites really had such an important occasion, would it ask a junior official who had just entered the Yamen to take charge of the event?

Do you really think that the minister, the minister, and the chief minister are dead?

Who is not the number one pick, the second pick, or the third overall pick? Why?
There are not many people in the ritual department, but there are a lot of "learned people" like this!
Fang Xiaoru knew that just thinking about it at this moment, once the exam was over, his test papers and those of other candidates around him would be delivered to those seniors soon.

Those seniors who were the top pick, the second pick, and the top pick, have gone through years of hard work in official circles, and I am afraid they will start complaining on the spot when they first see their test papers.

Ugh……

Fang Xiaoru is so worried!
I have been tortured by Mr. Hu ever since I took the imperial examination the year before last. Now that there is no imperial examination and it is time to recruit officials, why can't I escape this torture?
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore, just write as much as you can, and make sure you don’t violate any taboos before talking about anything else.

All the candidates racked their brains, no matter whether they were fooled or easy to guess, no one would be stupid enough to leave the test paper empty.

Relying on this answer sheet, which had no clue whether it was off-topic or not, the candidates finally completed the written examination.

When the time came, the candidates came out of the examination room with amazing expressions!

When I first entered the venue, I was high-spirited and calm, but now it's all gone.

Some of them had numbness on their faces, as if they were walking zombies, moving forward stupidly.

You can tell at a glance that most of them are those who have participated in the imperial examination in the previous session.

Meeting Mr. Hu consecutively in a short period of time was considered unlucky for them, and their "Taoist heart" was completely broken.

On the other side, there were sighs and sighs. It was probably the first time for these people to encounter Mr. Hu's "handiwork"!
It was just the first time they met. Although they felt headaches and crazy, they still felt that there would be more opportunities in the future.

But some candidates, after coming out, are crying and laughing like crazy.

These people are the most pathetic. They are not mentally capable enough. They may have gone completely crazy after this exam.

Relatives and friends waiting in front of the examination room, as well as ordinary people watching the excitement, suddenly felt a chill in their hearts when they looked at the candidates with different postures.

All the candidates were filled with grief and anger, but they insisted that it was all Mr. Hu’s fault!
And with the end of the written examination, before the results were announced and the second round of interviews began, the resentment of the candidates towards Mr. Hu had already reached the sky.
