Chapter 331: It’s too difficult for the candidates

"Well, those candidates complained that the questions were too difficult?"

"Mao Xiang, tell us what happened?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was actually quite interested in the news made by Mr. Hu.

Because there may have been some shortcomings in the previous imperial examinations, but this time the six ministries were able to participate and support it in unison.

Don't even think about it. Nine times out of ten, this exam was really good.

Otherwise, the Liubu gang likes to shrink their eggs when trouble comes. How could they dare to stand up so early and so straightforwardly?

Zhu Yuanzhang's contempt for officials was ingrained in his bones.

Therefore, he didn't even realize that he had seen anything wrong.

No, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely speechless as Mao Xiang talked about the "classic" test questions in each exam.

"That's it?"

"Isn't this what Liubu is supposed to do?"

"Do students who only want to be officials find these questions difficult?"

"Then do they think they don't have to do anything as officials with our salary?"

"No wonder Weiyong didn't say anything, Liubu is so confident!"

"At least we feel that Weiyong and Liu Bu did a good job this time!"

"That's what you should do, you have to work when you come!"

"They don't even know how to do the work, so we can't recruit them to work as bosses!"

Mao Xiang cannot be said to be familiar with Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp complaints, but at least he has heard them all the time.

He knows Zhu Yuanzhang's temper very well!
For Zhu Yuanzhang, officials had to come in to work, otherwise they would be unworthy of the salary he gave him.

And Mr. Hu's approach this time can be regarded as a complete hit in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

There are no twists and turns, no pretentiousness, just the most basic "craftsmanship" of these students is tested!
With this "skill", you can work as an official in Liubu and Yingtianfu Yamen.

Otherwise, if you are just a trash who knows how to do this, then get out of here as far away as possible.

This kind of approach is too suitable for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Yeah!

That’s how it should be done!
The talents selected in this way are the ones who can work and do well when they come here.

Those who were selected in the previous imperial examinations were all useless people who were good at talking but couldn't do anything well!
"By the way, didn't Weiyong arrange an interview later?"

"What does the interview mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered that there seemed to be another important part of the exam that he had overlooked.

He quickly asked Mao Xiang.

But Mao Xiang, the dignified Jinyiwei commander, was paralyzed when faced with this problem.

He surrendered his hands in embarrassment and apologized.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know about this humble duty!"

"Everything that has happened is under the surveillance of Jinyiwei. I can find out the news even though I am humble." "But the interview hasn't started yet!"

"Moreover, only Mr. Hu knows how to conduct this interview and what the purpose behind it is!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Mao Xiang's explanation, he didn't get angry randomly.

Only then did he remember that Mao Xiang was just a spy chief, not a senior strategist.

This kind of thing is not a question of whether to pry or not. It is a matter of trying to guess Hu Weiyong's intentions.

But Mr. Hu's wandering thoughts, how could Mao Xiang, the spy chief, figure it out?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked about another person.

"Song Li, what do you think Weiyong is thinking?"

"Why, in our opinion, does the written exam cover everything that should be tested, and then there is an interview after that?"

"No matter how we look at it, we feel that this interview is unnecessary!"

Song Liping seems to be just a servant of the royal family, doing some errands.

But in fact, it would be strange to say that he has no ability to serve Lao Zhu for more than ten years.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Song Li bowed and answered.

"Back to the emperor, I think Mr. Hu might want to see the conversation, words, deeds, and emergency response capabilities of these students!"

"Huh? What do you mean? We can all understand these words and deeds. After all, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. But what does this emergency ability mean? Tell me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't expect that Song Li would actually come up with a new idea for him.

Song Liluo pondered for a while and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, not everyone can give appropriate answers to the questions suddenly raised by Shangguan and the former Prime Minister!"

"But if he can really do this, he must be a very resourceful and confident person."

"But if you are hemming and hawing, unable to express what you mean, and can't even speak clearly, then in the eyes of Mr. Hu, such a person may have no need to be an official!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized after hearing this.

Ah!
That's how it should be!
Only someone with both civil and military skills can hold Zhu Yuanzhang’s salary!
That's right!

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more he felt that the selection method Mr. Hu had come up with this time was better!

Tsk tsk, look at this arrangement, it’s great!
If it were said that Mr. Hu's little taste of messing around in the previous imperial examination only made Zhu Yuanzhang slightly nod.

So this time Mr. Hu directly dealt with people with heavy hands, which completely made Zhu Yuanzhang laugh so hard that he couldn't close his legs.

Nothing said!
Due to Mr. Hu's approach, Zhu Yuanzhang was now wondering whether he should let Mr. Hu continue to be the examiner in the next imperial examination.

After all, it was so beautifully done!
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang is just thinking about it now, and things will take a long time!
As the biggest hot spot recently, the streets and alleys of Yingtian Mansion have been full of discussions about Mr. Hu's exam questions in the past two days.

Although the students did not dare to complain angrily, they still had the courage to murmur.

After all, this time they were really in trouble.

In their opinion, these test questions are all too weird. The key is that the amount of questions is not small at all.

Especially those candidates who applied for the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, when they took out the test questions that they had recorded and consulted, they felt that they were just people who didn't mess around and stopped talking!
Good guy, what on earth do the Ministry of Punishments think?
What do Mr. Hu think?
These questions, not to mention the candidates who have never done anything before, even the old officials from the Ministry of Punishment's own yamen, will feel numb!
Later, as the professional examination questions from other yamen were slowly revealed, everyone discovered that it was not just the Criminal Department that was in trouble.

The people of Yingying Tianfu and the students discussed and discussed, but in the end they could only come to one conclusion.

It is so damn difficult to be a candidate under Mr. Hu!
