Qu Yuan was the Minister of Rites and he presided over the imperial examinations, so Jiang Chen was more assured.
After all, with Qu Yuan's talent, he must have some ability to be selected as the final candidate.
Jiang Chen scanned through the list.
On the name list, there was a note below the names of all the examinees. It was the evaluation of the examinees 'literary, martial, and moral conduct by Qu Yuan and the invigilator.
Among them, Jiang Chen paused on two names!
One was called Yuwen Anle, and the other was called Li Xiaozhong.
Jiang Chen looked at their names and felt they were unfamiliar.
However, Qu Yuan and an examiner gave the two of them a surprisingly high evaluation, far surpassing the other examinees!
Moreover, the two of them had different characteristics. Yuwen An Le was more focused on literature, while Li Xiaozhong was more focused on martial arts!
Jiang Chen couldn't help but be curious as to what ability the two had to be valued by Qu Yuan and the other officials!
As the saying goes, whether it was a mule or a horse, wouldn't you know once you brought it out for a walk?
Jiang Chen only needed one look to know what the two were capable of!
Therefore, Jiang Chen asked,""Minister, are Yuwen An Le and Li Xiaozhong here?”
"Your Majesty, all the examinees are still in the Extreme Yellow Hall.”Qu Yuan respectfully cupped his hands.
Jiang Chen nodded and gave Liu Zhuo a look.""These two people are here to see you."
"Here!"
Liu Zhuo replied and immediately ran out of the hall to summon the guards.
From time to time, the two of them walked into the hall.
Their temperaments were completely different.
One of them was dressed plainly. He was tall, but his hair was tied up. He looked simple and honest. At first glance, one would be frightened by his tall figure. In fact, he gave off a sense of literature. One could tell at a glance that he was a scholar!
The other person was tall and sturdy. His face was resolute and handsome, and his brows gave off a sense of loyalty. His footsteps were steady, and his aura was like a rainbow. He had the demeanor of a general. One look and one could tell that he was a military general!
"This commoner greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!”
After the two of them entered the hall, they knelt down on both knees and paid their respects!
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and began to size up their attributes.
[Name: Yuwen Anle][Name: Yuwen Kai (First Class Official)]
[Position: None]
[Age: 21]
[Official career]: 0
[Force]: 40
[Wisdom]: 95
[Ambition]: 0
[Morality]: 100
[Loyalty]: 67
[Political]: 88
[Imperial Command]: 30
[Charm] 77
[Character]: Flattery, Serious
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Yuwen Anle to be a First Class Official!
Although he wasn't a peerless official, a first-class official was still a talent that Jiang Chen urgently needed!
The most important thing was that when Jiang Chen saw Yuwen Anle's alias, he was stunned!
If Jiang Chen was unfamiliar with the name Yuwen Anle, the name Yuwen Kai was like thunder in his ears!
If Jiang Chen remembered correctly, Yuwen Kai was a famous expert in urban planning and construction during the Sui Dynasty. He was also a rare architect in history.
He came from a family of military officials and was well-read since childhood. He had no intention of leading troops to war, but he had a special liking for architecture. He was familiar with the laws and various craftsmanship skills of the past dynasties. He presided over the construction of the famous Daxing City and Luoyang City in Tokyo. He was the Minister of Works!
His main works included 20 volumes of "Eastern Capital Illustrations," 2 volumes of "Mingtang Illustrations," and 1 volume of "Explanation," which made great contributions to the history of architecture!
Of course, he was also cursed in history. After all, since ancient times, the construction industry had always been a waste of money and manpower.
Yuwen Kai had made such a contribution in the construction field, but in the end, he did not end up with the infamy of wasting money and manpower and persecuting the people.
However, this did not deny his ability in architecture!
At the same time, in Jiang Chen's court, there was a lack of people like Yuwen Kai!
Jiang Chen had long wanted to replace his Minister of Works.
Although the current Minister of Works was also a loyal old minister, his moral and intelligence attributes were too low, causing Jiang Chen to spend more when recruiting craftsmen!
If he could arrange for Yuwen Kai to join the Ministry of Works, it would definitely be of great help to the subsequent construction of the attribute buildings!
Jiang Chenguang was happy just thinking about it. He couldn't help but smile. He was very satisfied with Yuwen Kai.
Then, Jiang Chen looked at Li Zhongxiao!
In fact, when he saw Li Xiaozhong's name, Jiang Chen already had a guess in his heart, but he wasn't sure!
Now, he could finally check Li Xiaozhong's attributes, and Jiang Chen was filled with anxiety!
Jiang Chen's pupils constricted!
[Name: Li Zhongxiao; alias: Li Yanxian (Great General)
[Identity]: None
[Age]: 19
[Official career]: 0
[Military strength]: 120
[Wisdom]: 80
[Ambition]: 37
[Morality]: 97
[Loyalty]: 100
[Political]: 71

[Charm] 88
[Character]: Ideals, loyalty and
bravery-
Jiang Chen gasped!
Originally, Jiang Chen was already surprised to obtain Yuwen Kai!
However, he never expected that the real surprise was still to come!
Most importantly, everything was exactly as he had guessed!
He had been wondering if the name Li Xiaozhong was another alias of a general in history.
Now, it seemed like that was the case!
Li Xiaozhong was Li Yanxian!
Li Yanxian was a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty. He had a military strategy, was good at adapting, and valued integrity. He was a loyal person!
He had been a hero all his life and had shared joys and sorrows with the soldiers. At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty had fallen and the east of the country had fallen. It was only because Li Yanxian fought desperately against the enemy that only Shanzhou survived for two years, preventing the Jin soldiers from advancing!
During this time, Li Yanxian led the soldiers and civilians of Shanzhou City to fight more than 200 times, killing countless enemies. In the end, they lost because they ran out of food and support!
During this period, because Li Yanxian had been defending the city for a long time and refused to surrender, the Jin soldiers massacred after breaking through the city. They searched wantonly and captured Li Yanxian!
Li Yanxian instinctively escaped. After hearing about the massacre, he was greatly saddened. He was unwilling to betray the elders of Shanzhou and live an ignoble life. He jumped into the river and died at the age of 36. His entire family was slaughtered, except for his brother and son.
How to evaluate Li Yanxian's life, sacrificing his family for the country and surviving with the city, could only be summarized by bravery and loyalty!
And he was worthy of the title!
Jiang Chen's smile deepened as he was more satisfied with Li Yanxian!
Right now, he already lacked good generals. With Li Yanxian joining, the country's military combat strength would increase by a lot!
"Good! Great!"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh.
At the same time, Jiang Chen was also slightly surprised. He didn't expect the probability of getting a famous official in the imperial examination to be higher than he imagined!
After all, not only did he use the national policy card of the Imperial Examination reform, but the attributes of the Minister of Rites would also affect the probability of a famous official or general appearing in the Imperial Examination!
Obviously, after Qu Yuan was promoted to the Minister of Rites, he had indeed brought about changes in the imperial examinations.
Not only Yuwen Kai and Li Yanxian, but even the other examinees 'attributes were much better than the first examinees' attributes!
Jiang Chen was very satisfied with this. He thought that if this continued, it would not be impossible for all the civil and military officials to be famous generals!
So, Jiang Chen put away his thoughts and looked at Yuwen Kai and Li Yanxian.""These two people are great talents and are also the top scholars of the civil and martial arts examinations. They will stay in the capital and be allocated positions by the Ministry of Personnel!”
Yuwen Kai and Li Yanxian were overjoyed and kowtowed in unison
. Long live our emperor, long live!
Jiang Chen waved his hand and said,""Go down!"
"Here! I will take my leave!"
Yuwen Kai and Li Yanxian bowed again and left the hall respectfully.
This time, Jiang Chen didn't give them official titles!
After all, they were not people who had signed in!
As long as it wasn't a signed character, Jiang Chen rarely gave him a bigger official position.
On the contrary, it would allow them to slowly rise up from the ranks like Fang Xuanling and Qu Yuan. This would not only motivate them to work for the court, but also temper their ambitions and loyalty.
Furthermore, the current Minister of Personnel was Fang Xuanling.
Jiang Chen believed in Fang Xuanling's vision and ability to place Yuwen Kai and Li Yanxian in the most suitable positions for them.
In this way, Jiang Chen didn't have to worry about how to arrange the newly appointed officials and generals.
This was also why Jiang Chen had to place capable people in all key positions!
After all, Jiang Chen was the king of a country. He couldn't do everything himself. He needed someone capable to take responsibility. Otherwise, wouldn't Jiang Chen die from overwork?
Just like the Ministry of Personnel had Fang Xuanling, Jiang Chen didn't have to worry about the dispatch and arrangement of officials.
With Li Jing in the Ministry of War, Jiang Chen didn't have to worry about the deployment and arrangement of the army.
In this way, Jiang Chen could relax a lot. He didn't need to arrange for everyone. He only needed to control the people at the head.
For example, in the first imperial examination, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Personnel were too weak. Jiang Chen was afraid of missing out on talent, so he personally presided over and divided the top three, and awarded the top scholar position to avoid the loss of talent.
And this time, the Minister of Rites was replaced by Qu Yuan, and the Minister of Personnel was replaced by Fang Xuanling. Jiang Chen didn't have to worry about missing out on talent. Qu Yuan was fully qualified to preside over the imperial examination and divide the top three!
As for the matter of the top scorer, Fang Xuanling would definitely make some arrangements!
Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't personally invigilate the exam, but he could get a general idea of the candidates through the list submitted by Qu Yuan and the evaluation scores of the candidates.
The facts proved that Jiang Chen was right. Qu Yuan was indeed capable. The two people with the highest scores were a famous minister and a famous general!
This also made Jiang Chen feel relieved. Other than verifying his inner thoughts, in the future, the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War no longer needed to bother him. The ministers could solve it themselves!
PS: Please customize! Please set it yourself! Please set it yourself! Important things had to be said three times!
