Release of the Court Examination Roll
In Chang 'an Fortress.
Once again, a frenzy of voting was set off.
According to the ten locations that Chu Wen had set up last time, the voting this time was divided into two parts.
Some of them were professional votes.
In other words, it was specially decided by the generals. After all, they had led troops to war and were experienced in battle. They had more say in the ranking of the famous generals.
As for the other portion, it was voted by the ordinary people.
After all, the voting of the generals might not be objective, and the eyes of the masses were sometimes sharp.
Therefore, a professional judge and a public judge.
This was the best solution.
With the promotion of the Ranking of Famous Generals, Chu Wen's method also caused widespread discussion in the court.
At this moment, in Taiji Palace.
"Chu Wen's method is truly ingenious. He actually used a combination of two methods. This can be considered a very reasonable ranking for the Great Tang generals.”
"That's right. I've taken a look. These rankings, at least from my point of view, are very fair.”
"That's true. We who lead troops to war also feel that this ranking is particularly convincing. In the past, if someone secretly made a ranking, it would definitely cause a huge uproar and many old generals would be dissatisfied. However, this time, no one complained. Instead, they praised him. This was the power of Chu Junma.”
"To be honest, after experiencing the imperial examinations and the Tibetan peace negotiations, I have already admired Chu Junma. There is nothing that he doesn't understand, and it's not just a small understanding. He is very proficient. For ordinary people, just mastering one is already outstanding, but Young Master Chu is proficient in everything.”
As soon as he said this, everyone agreed.
It had only been a few months, but everyone had witnessed Chu Jie's strength.
It could be said that everyone in Chang 'an admired him.
The key was that Chu Wen was not willing to eat leftovers and sleep on the king's merit book. Instead, he would come up with something especially creative and subverted everyone's understanding every time when they were not expecting it.
For example, the Genius Ranking and the Famous General Ranking had unique foresight.
Since ancient times, the number of scholars and generals had been very terrifying. If these two groups were to participate in the rankings of the two lists, it would naturally cause a fishing frenzy.
It had to be said that these two angles were quite tricky.
At this moment, someone said," Just now, this lord mentioned the selection of scholars through the imperial examinations. I remember now that the imperial examinations have ended and it will soon be the court examinations. At that time, we will be selecting a batch of extraordinary talents for the Great Tang.”
"Thanks to Chu Junma's suggestion, as the main examiner, I've finally seen what a high standard is. The small-scale examinations in the past and the talents selected at the end could not be compared to this round of selection at all.”
" That's right. A few days ago, I read the poems and policy theories of the scholars ranked at the top. They are novel and profound, and some of their views are very unique. Even an old fellow like me who has been working hard for so many years can't help but admire them.”
For a time, the imperial court was filled with discussions about the selection of scholars for the imperial examination.
In another half a month, it would be the time for the court examinations. The entire court was busy because of this.
Hearing everyone's discussion, Li Shi Min couldn't help but pinch his beard and nod with a smile on his face.
The purpose of the imperial examination was to select more talents and then use them for his own use.
Otherwise, every vacancy would be monopolized by the descendants of the great clans, and the Great Tang would be no different from the previous dynasty.
He wanted to build a foundation that would last forever, and he had to build a team of talents, especially those that he could control.
Chu Wen's suggestion was to maximize the potential of talents. Even many hermits from remote villages came out one after another.
Therefore, many outstanding talents had appeared in this selection.
"I also paid attention to the imperial examination this time. It can be said that it was colorful. Countless capable people and heroes gathered in Chang 'an, which really made me happy.”
"Your Highness, you are the Minister of Rites. As the saying goes, the selection of talents does not avoid relatives. Think about it and show me a list of rewards. In order to commend your son-in-law for his contribution to the Tang Imperial Examination, I have decided to reward him with something.”
Li Daozong was all smiles as he hurriedly said respectfully,"After this old minister goes down, immediately draw up a list of names.”
His son-in-law was rewarded again. As his father-in-law, he was naturally happy for Chu Wen.
Everyone looked at Li Daozong enviously.
How could her son-in-law be so outstanding? It really made people jealous.
"Today's court session ends here. All of you, my beloved ministers, please do your jobs. We must ensure that the first court examinations of the Great Tang are completed successfully."”
The ministers agreed.
At the same time, the scholars of Chang 'an City were also waiting eagerly after the court examination.
After all, everyone was very concerned about who would be the top scorer in the end.
Chu Wen's special issue also specifically discussed the question of who had the highest chance of winning. He even set up a tree hole section, which allowed scholars to express a few representative opinions in the tree hole.
As the day of the court examination drew closer, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
The three scholars who had the chance to participate in the court examination were even more nervous. This was the first time in the current dynasty.
The three of them were holed up in their rooms, their heads hanging high and their legs pricking, working hard.
On the day of the court examination, all the scholars of Chang 'an City flocked to the palace gate.
As for the three scholars, they tidied up their clothes and headed straight to the throne room under the guidance of a designated person.
Seeing Li Shi Min sitting high up in Taiji Palace, they couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look at him.
The topic of the court examination was very simple. It was mainly for the three scholars to write a poem.
In addition, he also wrote a policy paper on how to improve the Great Tang's economy and people's livelihood.
Soon, the court examinations ended.
The release of the results a few days later once again attracted the scholars to watch the results.
The three people who participated in the court examination naturally looked at their names nervously. In the end, a person named Sun Weixi won the first place, while Jiang Xiao and Lu Ziyang won the second place and the third place respectively.
As the results were released, their court examination papers were also posted.
Naturally, it caused a heated discussion.
After seeing the results, the three scholars were immediately draped in red silk and carried to the restaurant by almost all the scholars.
Thus, the party began.
Chu Wen's newspaper also reported the entire process of the party.
