back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 860 Chief Assistant Feng Jing
In the Hall of Wende, almost all of them are human beings, and there is no simple thing.

Even Wang Anshi, who is obsessed with official history, has learned to observe the ways of the world after being restricted by his background, and no longer takes it for granted.

Not to mention the rest, each of them has a shining aura, and since they passed the Jinshi examination, they have always been the darlings and outstanding ones among civil servants.If they were not really talented, Lu Chengqi would not have let them into the cabinet easily.

What is the cabinet?
In fact, they are the emperor's aides, who specialize in giving advice to the emperor. They must not only have talent and learning, but also be an all-rounder. The so-called astronomy, geography, astrology, divination, water conservancy, farming, and maritime trading companies... all need to know something.

Human energy is limited, of course it is impossible to be proficient in everything.But you at least have to know what's going on and not make a joke.In this way, experience matters.Among the few people selected by Lu Chengqi, most of them were demoted. Even if they were not demoted, they were still children from poor families who lived in the market all year round.Only such courtiers can be well-informed and not regard camels as horses with swollen backs.

It is also because everyone has great talents, so those who can lead them must have prestige and be able to convince the public, so they can learn to be able to convince the public.

There are a lot of good people in Dashun, but it seems that none of them dare to pat their chests and guarantee that they can lead these eleven arrogant cabinet ministers well.

However, Lu Chengqi was also a ghost, and he even threw this problem to the newly appointed cabinet ministers, asking them to recommend a minister who could convince the public with his ability, virtue and prestige to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet.

This move is indeed ruthless, and it also has the essence of politics.Aren't you guys awesome, so who do you think is the best?If you say it, I will let him be your leader. If you refuse to accept it in the future, don't forget what you said today.

After this person was selected, Lu Chengqi felt relaxed.why?Lu Chengqi only needs to take care of this one person. If he takes care of the next eleven, the cabinet will be fully operational.Just like a country, the emperor cannot directly lead everyone, but as long as he controls the most critical people, it is equivalent to controlling the entire country.

Just like this, the eleven people were in a difficult situation, they looked at each other, and really didn't know who to choose.

Those who are talented and learned, their mighty virtue is not enough to convince the crowd; those who have great virtues, they despise them as "ignorant and incapable of learning", which is difficult.

In the end, it was the upright Sima Guang who stood out and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend someone."

"Oh, Sima Qing is full of righteousness, the person he recommends must be competent, let me tell you?" Lu Chengqi was also a little surprised. At first, he thought that other old foxes would recommend someone who could make friends, but unexpectedly, he was the first to respond. It was Sima Guang who was known for his loyalty.

In fact, Lu Chengqi's thinking was a little bit off. Even if they wanted to recommend ministers, they would recommend them around the corner. For example, they colluded to recommend a few people who were dissatisfied with each other, and then recommended someone who could make peace with each other.In this way, everyone thinks, um, he is better than the previous ones, so he is the only one.Just like "Guanpu" (the most popular gamble at this time), who will show their hole cards all at once?It's just that there is almost no preparation time this time, and it's too late even if they want to do something.In addition, the current emperor is getting more and more difficult to fool. They have just stepped into the cabinet, and they are afraid of getting angry, so they can only keep silent.

Only the upright man Sima Guang has a really stubborn mind. As long as it is good for the country, he will not care so much. After doing it, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended Duanming Palace Bachelor, Long Tu Court waiting system, Jixian Academy compiled Feng Jing!"

"Feng Jing? How can this person be the chief assistant of the cabinet?"

Speaking of which, Lu Chengqi had never heard of this person's name.

"I don't know if Your Majesty knows about 'mistaking Feng Jing for Ma Liang'?" Sima Guang was also taken aback. With Feng Jing's reputation, there are still people who don't know about it.But the person in front of you is the emperor, he doesn't know, so you can't yell at him!Depressed, I can only tell Feng Jing's deeds.

It turned out that Feng Jing was a great man, even more famous than Su Shi.Of course, this is only for now.Feng Jing is regarded as a Wenqu star descending to earth, why?Because he is a master of "three yuan in a row"!Feng Jing has been gifted and intelligent since he was a child, studious and motivated, with a photographic memory.In the township examination, general examination, and palace examination held from August of the eighth year of Yuanshou to March of the ninth year, he won the limelight even for Zhongjieyuan, Huiyuan, and champion.

You know, the imperial examination at this time can be said to be a real thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge.In the official history, in the 300-year history of imperial examinations from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were only 13 people who could win the three yuan in a row. On average, every 100 years, Feng Jing was one of them. Do you think he is not good?

It is indeed very difficult for Feng Jingneng to "three yuan and rank".To take the imperial examination, you not only have to deal with the examination papers, but also deal with the corruption of court officials. This requires a lot of extra wisdom, which is unmatched by later generations of college entrance examinations.The Palace Examination is an examination presided over by the emperor himself in the imperial court. Whoever wins the number one scholar will have a bright future.In the imperial examination that Feng Jing participated in, the most important thing was that his opponent had Shi Boutong, the nephew of minister Zhang Yaozuo.And Zhang Yaozuo was the powerful official at that time, he was determined to win, and he must put the number one scholar hat on his nephew's head. He did a lot of tricks before the exam: he paid a lot of money to the invigilator and examination paper officials, and asked them to take Shi Boutong in the No. .1.

In order to prevent other candidates from taking the top spot, Zhang Yaozuo wanted to "shoot the top bird". He asked the eminent monk to predict who the top candidate will be?The eminent monk said that he would be in Feng's house.Zhang immediately went to the registration officer of the examination institute and ordered that if anyone with the surname Feng applied, they would not be allowed to be included in the admission list and the test list.Attempt to kill competitors in the registration process.When Feng Jing got the news, he thought hard and decided to change his name to apply for the exam. He moved the two dots of the word "Feng" to the side of the word "Jing", and "Feng Jing" became "Ma Liang".As soon as the results of the palace examination were announced, "Maliang" High School's No.1 became the champion.In the court, "Ma Liang" won the first prize, but among the common people, everyone knew that "Feng Jing" won the first prize.

Of course, this is just a folk rumor. The real situation is that when Feng Jing participated in the palace examination, he was already the number one scholar in high school.But the roll call official was old and faint, and mistook the two points of "Feng", so he shouted the name of "Ma Liang", but no one answered.Originally, it was normal for the roll call officials to deliberately ask the roll call officials to read their names several times for the emperor to hear, but this "Ma Liang" called "Ma Liang" more than a dozen times, but no one answered.Later, Emperor Yuanshou asked doubtfully, "Is there no such person?"

At this time, Feng Jing stepped out of the crowd generously and generously, and replied weakly in front of the emperor: "My name is Feng Jing".

　Happy New Year's Eve everyone!
