Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 462 Three Imperial Examination Questions

In the second year of Jin Daye, on May [-]th, the Civil and Military Examinations

After many days of lingering rain, the weather was fine, and the people also took to the streets to clean the yards and prepare for the next stage of farm work.

Today is the annual imperial examination in the state of Jin, and it is the first year that the military imperial examination is implemented.This time, the people who came to Xudu to participate in the imperial examination were not only poor students and children from aristocratic families, but also knight-errants who were confident in their martial arts.

Under the Baihu Gate in Xudu, there is a large open space with rows of tables and chairs.The location of the Civil Examination is under the White Tiger Gate, and it is already guarded by bloodthirsty tiger guards. The students have already entered the White Tiger Gate and waited.

"Well, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally changed the titles of this year's imperial examinations, and you can choose one of the three titles. It seems that this time the imperial examinations really have a lot of benefits. Disaster."

"Hey! You can think too well, but you don't know what kind of person His Royal Highness is. His Royal Highness followed the king from Suanzao and defeated Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and Liu Bei successively! What a talent it is to drive Cao Cao to Yizhou Wei Lue. It is said that His Royal Highness is less than 30 years old this year, which seems to be the same age as you and me, which is really impressive! His Royal Highness personally changed the topic on the spot, do you think it will be easy?"

"Hahaha! Jane is not simple, they are all the same. The more difficult the better, the more difficult the questions are, the more we can be classified."

"Hey, what are you so sour, do you really think you are pretty good?"

A group of poor students talked a lot. It seemed that most of them were boasting, but in fact it was difficult to hide their inner tension after all.

But among these people, there are always a few who look calm, and they all hide in corners.

Guo Jia's son was also among these people. He knew that the three questions this time were to test the military, politics, and business respectively, but he didn't know what the specific questions were.

"Guo Yi, hurry up and tell me the truth, my father even asked me to take part in the liberal arts examination, I can't write anything!" Dianman looked helpless, leaned over to Guo Yi's side, and smiled. ask him for advice.

Guo Yi is Guo Jia's son. After he glanced at Dianman, he said, "Your father is the chief general of the bloodthirsty tiger guards. You are the eldest son of General Dian. Naturally, you also like to lead troops to fight. Your father asked you to take the civil examination, but I just want you to gain insight. His Royal Highness always said that to be successful, you must first cultivate morality. If I know the topic and tell you, then your moral character will be bad. Besides, I can only say that this time the topic will be tested separately. Military, political, business, you can choose it yourself. I don’t know the topic.”

After hearing Guo Yi's words, Dianman immediately smiled, at least he knew what the three questions were testing this time.

Boom!
Bells and drums rang together, the White Tiger Gate was opened, and a group of students were led into the open space inside the White Tiger Gate by the bloodthirsty tiger guards.

Under the management of the Bloodthirsty Tiger Guard, these students found their positions immediately, and placed the wooden plaques with engraved names on the corners of the table in front of them.

"Your Majesty is here, kneel!" The eunuch's voice came from the White Tiger Hall, nearly a thousand students knelt and kowtowed, and no one dared to raise their heads.

Han Wu followed his father out of the White Tiger Hall, while Han Fu sat behind the table under the White Tiger Hall, looking at the students below with joy.

Han Wu narrowed his eyes and waved to Zeng Guofan, making him ready to start announcing the exam questions.

"Today's exam questions, choose one of three. The first question is "On Industry, Agriculture, and Commerce", the second question is "On the First Emperor's Winning Government", and the third question is "On the Merits and Demerits of Prince Han Wu"! The time is two hours. You are not allowed to leave the room during this period, and the answering session begins." Zeng Guofan announced the test questions in a loud voice, and at the same time, the bloodthirsty tiger guards also closed the White Tiger Gate, and the whole test room was full of sighs and discussions.

"Cough cough! After a stick of incense time, if someone whispers again, they will go out to qualify for the imperial examination once they find out. Candidates who make loud noises will be decisive." Han Wu took a deep breath, the first half of the sentence was not loud, but the second half was almost Shout out.

When a thousand examinees heard the phrase "The one who makes loud noises, the decision will be made", they immediately lowered their heads, picked up their brushes and stained them with ink, and prepared to choose the exam questions.

Among the 1000 people, there was one person who wrote a book directly, as if he had been prepared for a long time.

"Feng Xiao, is that Chen Qun? I remember this person, he is from the Yingchuan family. He is a bit older, but he is talented." Han Wu saw Chen Qun at a glance, mainly because he used the God of War summoning system talent exploration function.People present, such talents as Guo Yi, Chen Qun, Dianman, and Liu Zhen, could not escape Han Wu's investigation.

"What Your Highness said is very true. This person is Chen Qun from the Chen family in Yingchuan. He is calm and good at studying. He is a useful person." Guo Jia hurriedly handed the record Chen Qun to Han Wu happily, preparing for him to understand more some.

Han Wu waved his hand, he was not interested in the information written on the bamboo slips, he only cared about management talents.

Han Fu reached out to take Chen Qun's bamboo slips and read them carefully.

"The people from the Sima family are not here?" Han Wu suddenly thought of the Sima family, so he asked specifically.

Guo Jia nodded and sighed, and said, "Since that incident, the Sima family has resigned from office and started to engage in business. Moreover, Sima Lang no longer sees any official people, and has devoted himself to being a merchant."

"It's a good choice to be a merchant. However, if Sima Yi survives for a day, the Sima family has to be on guard. I'll go for a stroll, and you will come with me." Han Wu smiled lightly, stood up, and prepared to play tricks.

As the prince and the real behind-the-scenes of this exam, how could Han Wu not put pressure on these students?

Guo Jia followed His Royal Highness, walked down the steps together, and passed each candidate's desk from the east side.

"Wang Hong, the name is not bad. Don't talk, you will lose your head if you whisper to each other." Han Wu walked up to the first person, glanced at his name, and said with a smile.

As soon as this remark came out, the people around who could hear Han Wu's words were all trembling with fright, and they all buried their heads in thinking about how to choose the test questions.

"Oh, there are many candidates who are not young this year! Tsk tsk tsk, it's really good, and most of them are from poor families." Han Wu walked forward while walking, ready to go to Dianman's place to shake him.

Dianman is not very old, but he looks quite strong, no less than a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Dianman, I remember that you are Dianwei's son, right? You don't like reading like this, and you should read more military books in the future. Leading troops to fight also requires strategy. Go to Qinglongmen and make preparations early, let's go! Walking in front of Dianman, Han Wu smiled lightly and kicked his table.

Dian Wei saw that the lord asked his son to go directly to Qinglongmen, so he naturally didn't dare to say more, walked over and got up with his son, angrily preparing to drag him out of Baihumen to teach him a lesson.In Dian Wei's view, his son must have had no literary talent, which made the lord dissatisfied and drove him away.

"It's evil, let your son eat more, so that he can lead soldiers to fight in the future and grow strong." Han Wuduo said such a sentence, he knew that if he didn't say it, Dianman's beating would be inevitable.

After Dian Wei heard the lord's words, he immediately knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness! Dian Wei and Zi Dianman are determined to be the Kingdom of Jin, and they are shrouded in horse leather for the king and His Royal Highness!"

After getting up, Dian Wei smiled, and led Dianman away from Baihumen.

The students around were also a little shaken when they saw that under the influence of Han Wu in the originally rigorous exam, someone could leave at will.

But other people don't want to leave here, and it is not easy for them to get the opportunity of the imperial examination this time.To leave would be to give up on oneself.

"Your Highness, will doing so have some impact..."

"No, I have a sense of proportion." Hearing Guo Jia's persuasion, Han Wu smiled and continued to wander around.

Han Wu would only deliberately influence those talented students, like Liu Zhen and Guo Yi.As for those students with average intelligence, Han Wu also has a sense of proportion and will not deliberately influence them.

Slowly walking in front of Guo Jia's son Guo Yi, Han Wu looked back at Guo Jia and hummed softly.

Guo Yi wrote quickly, having finished the beginning of the article "On the Merits and Demerits of the Prince Han Wu", and is now writing the chapter on faults.Moreover, the first part was written about faults, Han Wu couldn't believe that this kid had such guts.

Han Wu believed that Guo Jia would not be thorough, but he must have had some selfish intentions and mentioned his son.

"Feng Xiao, I'm a bit courageous. It seems that you have talked about my faults at home! Oh, this emperor's addiction has come out, do you think I'm lustful?" Han Wu whispered to Guo Jia, frightened He quickly bowed and saluted.

"I dare not!" Although Guo Jia seemed to be afraid, he knew in his heart that His Royal Highness was putting on a show, which often made the courtiers feel oppressed.

Guo Yi, however, acted as if Han Wu and his father were not by his side, he was still writing vigorously, even the speed did not slow down.

"Hey! You have a nice son, which is interesting." Han Wu smiled lightly, and patted Guo Yi's hair to express his appreciation for him.

Although this move seemed disrespectful to ordinary people, the students around who saw this scene were envious.To be able to let His Royal Highness personally pat the hair to express his appreciation, that is a bright future!
Guo Yi smiled slightly, secretly happy in his heart, but he still didn't dare to look up.Because his father told him this morning that even if someone in the Baihumen was beheaded in public today and caused panic, he must not raise his head.

Continue to walk forward, and it took half a stick of incense before Han Wu came to Chen Qun.

Chen Qun has already completed a bamboo slip, the article is "On the merits and demerits of Prince Han Wu".Moreover, he is currently finishing "On the First Emperor's Winning the Government", which surprised Han Wu a little.

Picking up the bamboo slips explaining his merits and demerits, Han Wu read it carefully, his expression alternately joyful and sometimes slightly angry.

"Tsk tsk tsk! It's well written, really good." After Han Wu finished reading, he spread the bamboo slips on the table and picked up the inkstone.

"oops!"

One "accidental", Han Wu knocked over the inkstone, and stained the bamboo slip "On the Merit and Demerits of the Prince Han Wu" with ink.

"Damn the grass people! The grass people will die!" Seeing this scene, Chen Qun was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his back was sweating instantly.

Han Wu stood up straight, wiped off the ink on his hands, and said, "What's the damn thing? Continue to finish your article. The one just now was well written. But, it's a pity that it was dirty and cannot be passed down through the ages."

Kneeling down and supporting Chen Qun's shoulders to make him sit up, Han Wu's smile made Chen Qun completely understand the deep meaning at once.

"Caomin, understand!" Chen Qun wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, picked up the brush with trembling palms, and continued to write "On the First Emperor's Yingzheng".

Han Wu sighed, feeling very satisfied with Chen Qun.His talent is really not low!
