When the pen falls, it will frighten the wind and rain, and when the policy is completed, it will make ghosts and gods cry!
The tribute scholars in the hall were writing quickly, putting their aspirations and good strategies for governing the country into the policy. They were excited and excited.
We have been waiting for this moment, Your Majesty!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
He couldn't stop writing!
Compared to the tribute scholars who were writing furiously, Chen Qi was much calmer. He might not be able to get the first place in his essay, but he should be able to get the first place in the Second-Class Roll.
Well, as a transmigrator, he was so confident.
The sun was high in the sky, and the court examinations that had been going on for the entire morning had officially ended.
The gates of Taiji Palace opened once again, and the scholars who had been working hard for the whole morning lined up in high spirits and full of ambition.
Three days later, they would know who would win the crown in Moon Palace and who would be the champion.
However, the scholars who came out of the palace gates were all completely relaxed. After ten years of cold, the imperial examination had ended!
No matter what the result was, he would still be on the rankings and would not be able to recruit new people. After the exam, it would be a joyous event worth celebrating!
They had to celebrate and meet at Xiaoxiang Restaurant.
.......
After the court examination, the scholars all went home to relax.
The thirty-six papers they had written were handed over to a secret file after receiving the papers, holding the papers, sealing, and sealing. After that, Emperor Li Shimin of Zhenguan would personally review them. The review time was three days.
After the emperor finished reading the papers, he would decide the rankings of the top scorer, second scorer, and third best scorer.
This was the legendary imperial brush hand-picked top scholar!
Late at night, in the Dew Palace!
Li Shi Min picked up the exam papers on the table and threw most of them to the side.
Divided into four portions.
Those who felt bored would be thrown to the furthest distance and wait.
Those that could be taken a look were thrown closer and medium.
Those that could be looked at slowly were placed close to them.
Those that needed to be pondered over several times were placed on the throne.
These young candidates were too inexperienced. Most of them were childish political theories. He didn't even bother to look at them.
"'On Virtue and Prosperity,' Cui Ming!”
Li Shi Min glanced at it indifferently, sneered in disdain, and threw the paper far away.
Benevolence and prosperity?
This was the biggest joke in the world. The most speechless thing was that not only did the whole article not think about how to increase taxes for the court, but it also wantonly commented that the emperor should not compete with the people for benefits and needed to reduce all kinds of taxes.
If the Imperial Court really did this, the civil and military officials would probably have to drink the northwest wind.
It would be strange if Li Shi Min liked such comments.
However, after thinking about it, he finally sighed and took the test paper back. After hesitating for a moment, he put the test paper back close to him and rated it as high-grade.
Although he didn't like Chui Ming, he had to consider the influence of the Chui family.
As the eldest son of the Cui family, he was ranked second on the First-Class Roll.
If they were to be relegated to the inferior ranks in the court examinations, it would be strange if the Cui clan was willing to accept it. If the entire Cui clan was dissatisfied, there would be another quarrel in the imperial court.
Thus, for the stability of the court, Li Shiming could only give Chui Ming's test a high grade, no matter how unhappy he was.
Or perhaps, excellent.
In all fairness, Cui Ming's literary talent was not bad. His articles were gorgeous and gave people a feeling of spring breeze.
Unfortunately, his butt was already crooked. What was the use of writing well?
Li Shi Min put down Chui Ming's exam paper and rubbed his head, feeling a headache. He turned to the eunuch Wang De and said,"Find Chen E's article for Zhen.”
A policy discussion, thousands of words.
Li Shimin, who had finished handling the government affairs during the day, was already exhausted. After reading the articles of several Jinshi, he had no desire to continue reading.
However, when he thought of the agreement with the Southern Tang Chen family, he still held back his thoughts and asked someone to find Chen E's test paper. He was prepared to see the standard of this youth who was hailed as the Qilin son by the Southern Tang Chen family.
"If you want to make the country rich, you should first appease the people, Chen E!”
"Hmm, interesting!"
Li Shimin saw the title of the policy discussion and his interest was piqued. He then continued reading.
"Foolish people, appease the people!"
"Interesting. This viewpoint is similar to the Confucianists 'theory of ignorance.”
After a long time, Li Shimin finished reading the article. His brows could not help but relax, and a smile appeared on his face.
Chen E's theory of appeasing the people was very simple. To put it bluntly, it was an advanced version of the dynasty's policy of obscuring the people. By promoting the concept of reincarnation, the people at the bottom were willing to work for the dynasty.
He advocated the theory of reincarnation, saying that suffering in this life was to atone for his past life and accumulate Yin virtue for the next life.
In the long run, the people of the dynasty would naturally accept the various policies of the imperial court. They would no longer play tricks and would fully cooperate with the imperial court's decrees.
With the full support of the people, the imperial court itself would become stronger and stronger, and then achieve the goal of making the country rich and powerful.
However, Li Shiming quickly frowned again because he saw the shadow of Buddhism in this discussion.
He understood the influence and terror of the Buddhist Sect better than anyone else.
After all, his father-in-law, Yang Guang, had fallen to the hands of the Buddhist Sect.
If it wasn't for the final blow of the Buddhist Sect, his father-in-law might have really been able to destroy the powerful families, and the Sui Dynasty wouldn't have died for two generations.
Then, he thought about the power behind the Southern Tang Chen family and their actions this time.
Li Shiming had reason to believe that the Buddhist Sect was plotting something.
"Forget it. Let the Daoist Sect have a headache over the Buddhist Sect's matters. The Great Tang won't get involved.”
Li Shi Min shook his head, then wrote a big "Excellent" on Chen E's test paper and placed it on the right side.
After reading Chen E's exam paper, Li Shimin's interest was piqued. He then continued to flip through the remaining Jinshi exam papers.
Then, when he picked up another test paper, he was completely stunned on the spot.
"Chen Qi,'On the Extermination of Buddha and the Rapid Rich'!”
Seeing these words, even the emperor Li Shiming couldn't help but rub his eyes, wondering if his eyes were playing tricks on him. Then, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Good fellow, really good fellow. Where did this unruly person come from to harm zhen again?”
"Another Chen. Could it be that this fellow was deliberately sent by the Buddhist Sect to test me? Or is it a chess piece pushed out by Dao Sect?"
"Hehe, Buddha Annihilation? He really dared to write it!"
"I also know that destroying Buddha can make you rich, but my strength doesn't allow it!”
After Li Shiming finished reading the thesis, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. He then threw the thesis to the furthest position from him and rated it as inferior without even looking at it.
