The strongest boss in the sky

Chapter 33 Good-looking, wouldn't it be a pity not to be a flower hunter?
There are about 400 tributes participating in the palace examination. As the emperor's gate, theoretically speaking, these papers need to be reviewed by the emperor himself.

However, it took two days to read [-] articles and select the good and bad. This task is still very heavy. Therefore, since Ming Chengzu, the emperors of all dynasties have organized officials below to review the papers, and they only read the top ten selected papers. .

The minister who reviewed the papers this time, Li Dongyang, the first assistant, did not participate. After all, he was old. Emperor Hongzhi did not let him participate in such a mind-consuming matter.

Therefore, Xie Qian, who was quite in good health, became the main person in charge of this review, with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials as deputy ministers, and the rest of the examiners were composed of scholars with profound knowledge such as Hanlin Bachelor, Guozijian Jijiu, and Dr. Taichang.

The reviewing speed of the officials was very fast, and the reviewing was basically completed in just over a day. After writing down their names and comments in each paper, they began to judge the pros and cons, and finally selected some excellent test papers to recommend to the chief examiner Xie Qian. He came to select the top ten and gave it to Emperor Hongzhi for reading.

On the eve of the start of the Chuanlu Ceremony, Xie Qian and others ranked the test papers of the [-] candidates. The emperor only needs to review the rankings before filling in the rankings and waiting for the rankings to be released tomorrow.

In the imperial study, Emperor Hongzhi was reading the top ten articles sent by Xie Qian and others. Beside him, Prince Zhu Houzhao sat honestly aside. Although he had a restless personality, there are courtiers watching So he won't add trouble to his father at such a moment.

Hongzhi carefully read the top ten articles, and his expression did not change much. To become a tribute, especially the top ten selected by Xie Qian, the writing and language organization skills are naturally extremely strong. Hongzhi only You can get a general idea of ​​the point of view in the article just by glancing over it.

"Zhao'er, if you were asked to answer, how do you think the Southwest should be pacified?"

While reading the examination paper, Hongzhi turned his head slightly, wanting to hear the opinion of his only son.

"Father, give me a hundred thousand troops, and I am willing to personally lead the army to fight. It will not take half a year to completely solve the hidden dangers in the Southwest!"

Zhu Houzhao was very excited. In fact, as long as it involves military matters, he is very interested. In his opinion, being an emperor is far less interesting than being a general who leads troops in battle.

Seeing this, Hongzhi couldn't help but sighed in his heart. He was naturally very clear about the character of his son. This kind of character, after ascending the throne in the future, could easily stand against the officials.

"It seems that before Zhao'er takes the throne, I need to help him find a capable minister who can protect him from the wind and rain!"

A little absent-mindedly looking at the clichéd articles, Emperor Hongzhi began to wonder who in the current court could be the minister of the humerus of his future son.

"Li Dongyang? This person is quite upright, capable, and doesn't form a party. It's just a pity that he is too old. It is estimated that Zhao'er should retire after he ascends the throne."

"The crown prince lectured on Yang Tinghe? It's the prime of life, and his abilities are still higher than Li Dongyang's. It's just a pity that this man's tricks are too complicated. Zhao'er may not be able to restrain him in the future!"

"Ok?"

At this moment, when Hongzhi picked up the No.10 examination paper, the content in the paper attracted him instantly.

"Is there no king's land under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the land!"

"Three strategies, top, middle and bottom? Use the barbarians to control the barbarians, push favors, and reform the land to return to the exiles. Well, what a reform to the barbarians!"

The first two strategies are quite satisfactory. In the few articles that Emperor Hongzhi read, some candidates also mentioned these two points, but the method of reforming the land and returning it to the people really surprised Hongzhi.

It's not that he and the officials couldn't think of it, but that this is a blind spot. No one would think about it at all, because they would ignore it subconsciously, and they didn't think that the system of floating officials could replace the system of indigenous officials in the southwest.

But now, in Lin Nuo's examination paper, this method was clearly proposed for the first time, and it was described in great detail how to implement this system.

The law of reforming land and returning locals was not implemented until the Qing Dynasty. After the implementation of this system, the southwest region was basically completely stabilized, and there were very few rebellions. It can be said that it is a method to cure the root cause.

"Your Majesty, the ministers were also shocked by the candidate's method of reforming the land and returning to the country, but the veteran and the others couldn't make up their minds for a while. Although the candidate gave detailed implementation measures, they have not actually tried it after all. , it is not ruled out that it is just a wild statement, so after discussing with the ministers and others, it is designated as No.10!"

Seeing that Hongzhi was surprised after seeing the No.10 test paper, Xie Qian hurriedly stepped forward and explained aloud.

"Well, it's not unreasonable for you to think about it. After all, if you directly reform the land and return it to the local people, it may cause the chieftains in the entire southwest region to rebound, and the entire southwest region may cause chaos!"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded thoughtfully, "But no matter what, the method given by the examinee is a good strategy. Although it is very troublesome to implement, you must also know that if you can really change the land and return it to the people, the Southwest There will be no more hidden dangers in the area, right?"

"The imperial court recruits scholars, what they want is this kind of capable minister who can come up with good strategies, and even dare to put forward good strategies. In my opinion, this person should be the number one scholar!"

When Emperor Hongzhi was speaking, he unfolded the paper completely. He wanted to see who this capable person with clear thinking and not sticking to ordinary people was.

"Jiangxi, Lin Nuo?"

After seeing the name, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help frowning, first glanced at the crown prince indiscriminately, and then put down the paper thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, according to the records of the Ministry of Rites, this Jiangxi student, Lin Nuo, is handsome and talented. He will only turn 19 this year!" Xie Qian said.

"It's not necessarily a good thing to succeed at a young age!" Hong Zhi whispered to himself, and then found Lin Nuo's second poem. After seeing it, he couldn't pull his eyes out.

"Such a majestic and powerful word, is it really written by a boy under the age of 20?"

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, "It's a good thing to be young and ambitious, but this Lin Nuo is even a little crazy. If he is selected as the champion, it may not be a good thing for his future career!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Xie Qian nodded in agreement, "A champion who is under 20 years old, and his personality looks a bit young and frivolous, it is too easy to attract people's envy. The so-called being too strong is easy to break, and becoming famous at a young age is easy to cause trouble!"

If a certain prince or a general soldier made such a poem, Hongzhi might have other ideas, but this poem was written by a young man under the age of 20, and the monarch and his ministers didn't think much about it, they just thought that the other party was young and frivolous There is no city!
"But father, Lin Nuo is indeed excellent in both articles and poems. You can't let him rank low just because he is young?"

Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry. Originally, it was only a temporary expedient measure for him to worship Lin Nuo as his teacher, but now after seeing the poem written by the other party, he suddenly felt so proud that he wished to raise his gun and mount his horse to fight on the battlefield.

At this moment, whether it was Lin Nuo's martial arts or talent, Zhu Houzhao completely admired him. At this moment, he really planned to treat Lin Nuo as a master!
"Haha, don't worry about taking photos! Didn't the records of the Ministry of Rites say that this Lin Nuo is extraordinary handsome? His talent and learning are comparable to the number one scholar, and his appearance is even more handsome. It seems that the fame of Tanhualang must belong to him!"

Emperor Hongzhi laughed. Since ancient times, Tanhualang has chosen the best-looking candidate from among the best candidates.

Ever since he learned that the crown prince worshiped Lin Nuo as his teacher, Hong Zhi had other plans for Lin Nuo's future in his heart.

Just taking advantage of this imperial examination, Lin Nuo can be slightly suppressed, so in Hong Zhi's opinion, the ranking of Tan Hua Lang is really suitable for Lin Nuo!
