I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 218 The No. [-] Scholar Winner, My Uncle Liu Huang also (for subscription)

This examination paper is neatly written, and every word is "silkworm head and swallow tail" and "twists and turns".

At a glance, you can see the difference.

The style of prose popular in the Han Empire was Fu, which emerged in the late Warring States period. Although it already paid attention to the gorgeousness of rhetoric and the harmony of phonology, it has not yet penetrated into the blind alley of parallel prose, which has both the beauty of words and the profound meaning.

This Fu, which won the first place, is a big Fu with more than a thousand words. When you look closely, it is full of details, and the dragon is beautiful, which makes people sigh.

The whole article is divided into four parts.

The first part first talks about the original intention of respecting the king and fighting the barbarians in ancient times, which is "respecting the king of Zhou as the lord of the Central Plains, and resisting the large-scale invasion of the Northern Rong and Nanman".

The second part reinterprets the new meaning of respecting the king and fighting the barbarians today as "in the name of the Son of Heaven, surrender the Huns and other northern Rong and other countries in the Western Regions".

The sub-part discusses in detail various specific strategies for subjugating the Xiongnu and the Western Regions, not limited to force, but should "use everything".

The latter part also puts forward six specific strategies for Pingbei, which are: use soldiers, farmland, ban iron, cut salt, and divide.

Each policy has a detailed explanation, penetrating into it, which is refreshing.

Even veteran generals like Zhao Chongguo couldn't wait to ask the emperor after watching it, wanting to know who this person was.

But Liu He just smiled and said nothing, unwilling to reveal.

"Don't be impatient, old general. I will announce the name of this person later."

Except for this top-ranked article, the other selected articles seldom comment on "respecting the king and fighting the barbarians" itself, and more are biased towards practice.

Leaving aside the conflict of positions, Liu He believed in Huo Guang's ability to govern the country, and he would definitely not select articles that were entangled in the essence and meaningless to the big man.

On this point, Liu He and Huo Guang had surprisingly the same thoughts.

After all the courtiers had finished watching and the discussion in the palace gradually became quieter, Liu He clapped his hands lightly, preparing for today's topic.

"After reading the articles, what do you think of these articles, and what do you think of the Lang Guan who wrote these articles?"

His Highness was naturally full of praise, and all of them came from the heart.

"This imperial examination is the first time for a great man to open up the world. It depends on Guang Luxun and the imperial examination officials to conduct well, and thanks to Zhongfu's good selection of articles, otherwise it would be difficult for the ministers and I to see such exquisite articles." Liu Hezi He never forgot to praise Huo Guang in every word.

Next, in the Xuanshi Hall, there was naturally another burst of praise for the emperor and Huo Guang.

It's just a little different from the past. When praising the emperor, everyone spared no effort; while praising Huo Guang, it was more like going through the motions.

The courtiers seemed to be able to see that this matter was actually better than the method of the imperial examination. As for who would select the articles in the end, it was not very important.

As long as the person who picks the articles is neither bad nor stupid, then the results won't be too bad.

"Since all the ministers think that these Langguans write well, I will now announce who the Langguans who wrote these articles are."

After finishing speaking, Liu He picked up the lists written on plain silk that had been prepared in several cases, and began to read from the C list to the A list.

As the names of those Lang officials were read out from the mouth of the emperor one by one, the expressions of the courtiers were also different.

The imperial examination will not affect the status of the courtiers in the court, but the emperor values ​​it so much, and the results of the examination can indeed show the real talents of the officials. If they are selected, they will be one of the real talents. The emperor will naturally remember his name, and he will be honored as an elder.

No matter when, in the Great Han Empire, ranking is extremely important.

Rankings are required during the autumn examinations for officials and knights, rankings are required when the three lords go to court, and rankings are still required when the candidate for the emperor is determined...

Those who rank at the top can not only gain fame, but also gain real benefits—the closer they are to power, the greater power they will gain.

Therefore, this made the officials and common people of the Han Empire form a conditioned reflex, and once they heard the rankings, they would involuntarily compare and pay attention.

Therefore, the courtiers who heard the names of their nephews naturally beamed with joy, and their faces turned bright; the rest of the people were either relieved, or looked at the emperor intently, hoping that the next name read from the emperor's mouth would be their own family members.

There is nothing better than this to hope that your child will become a dragon.

Even Huo Guang, who closed his eyes slightly and kept stroking his beard, actually listened to the voice of the emperor with his ears up, hoping to hear one or two characters of Huo.
Unfortunately, Huo Guang was disappointed in the end.

The emperor read the names of twelve people in a row. Although there were a few nephews of the Huo Party, there were no nephews of the Huo family.

Huo Guang felt strange at first, could it be that the Huo family's nephew is really so unbearable, isn't it material for studying and governing the country?

But soon he figured out the clues.

It must be his wife, Huo Xian, who revealed in advance that he was the one to decide the candidate. Those children and nephews will definitely praise him as a general in the article in order to please him.

Unexpectedly, cleverness was mistaken by cleverness.

The madam is too confused, and those sticks are too confused.

Would the old man choose such an article just for a few flattering words?

Wouldn't that have harmed the Han Empire? If he really wanted to do that, he, the auxiliary minister, would be completely incompetent.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang opened his eyes and looked at the aloof emperor. He didn't expect that the imperial examination was really useful, and it could tell a person's true level better than others' recommendations.

Liu He paused, then read out the names of Lang Guan who was selected as the No. [-] and Tanhua, and then paused for a long time.

Only the highly anticipated No. [-] Scholar was left, and naturally everyone held their breath and focused.

Liu He looked at the familiar name and was quite moved.

I didn't expect it was really him!

"The one who won the first place is Lang Guan Liu Anmin."

Liu Anmin is the son of Liu De, an authentic Han family clan, and from the perspective of seniority, he is the uncle of the emperor.

The real Uncle Liu Huang.

When the words "Liu Anmin" came from the mouth of the emperor, all the courtiers were naturally amazed and sighed.

Or the Liu family's bloodline is different, even the Liu family members who are not descendants of the great ancestors can be so outstanding, what is it if it is not destiny.

What's more, it is well known that Liu De and Huo Guang had a rift, so if they were all selected, it would be more obvious that they were talented and learned.

Liu De had a normal expression on his face, he didn't care about the courteous gazes from others, as if he had already expected this result.

And the one with the weirdest expression was naturally Huo Guang.

In Huo Guang's mind, Liu De was already a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and he always got rid of it before he could.

Unexpectedly, I personally selected his son, so that he had a chance to be named the first by the emperor.
