Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 327 Du Ji's Amazement

On the first day, the most people come and go, and the most pious people come.

Liu Yu understood this truth, so he didn't take Du Ji's words seriously.Of course, although he was a little disappointed, he was still looking forward to it. After all, this was Shouchun's first recruitment.In addition, Shouchun has many talented people.

Just in Liu Yu's expectation, those literati finally entered the hall, and took cards, registered their names, and took their seats in sequence.As soon as they sat down, the invigilator handed out the test papers.

As soon as the test papers were handed out, everyone couldn't help showing strange expressions.This is also normal. Now there is no way to select talents such as issuing test papers and taking exams. This method officially appeared with the imperial examination.The imperial examinations only took shape in the Sui Dynasty.

After being amazed, everyone looked at the test paper carefully and found that "Name", "Native Place" and "Age" were written next to the test paper.They didn't understand where they couldn't understand, so they immediately filled in the three blanks with a pen.Then, their eyes turned to the main body of the test paper—those test questions!
These test questions are different from those of later generations. There are no multiple-choice questions and no fill-in-the-blank questions.

There are not many questions, but five questions, but each question has a deep meaning, and most people can't answer it at all.For example, the "discussion on Yuan Shu" mentioned above not only tests people's vision and analytical ability, but also tests people's moral character.

For this question, flatterers will definitely demote Yuan Shu and praise Liu Yu.

After reading the questions, all the literati started to write one after another, either quickly or slowly, or frowning, or surprised, obviously emotionally haunted by the test questions.

Among them was one person, that is, the person Liu Yu had met. This person was the last to write, and when others wrote, he was still contemplating.After a while, he smiled and started writing with confidence.

The speed is neither fast nor slow, unlike others who write and think about it, or write like flying without thinking at all.

There are not many questions, only five questions, but the exam time is very long, and it took a full hour and a half before anyone came out.The person who went out was none other than the one who wrote the pen last.

When others saw him go out, they couldn't help but look up, then smiled contemptuously, and continued to do their own test papers with their heads down.And as soon as he came out, people outside started buzzing and discussing.

Regarding this, he said with a blank face, "These people will always only praise and ridicule." After speaking, he strode away.

After this person came out, other people also came out one after another, all with sad faces.Even if someone smiles, it is forced to pretend, which shows that this topic is really not easy.Of course, it may also be that these people are too bad.

"Hey, isn't this topic too difficult?"

"Hehe, I don't think so, it's just a mystery."

The people who appeared on stage walked in twos and threes, complaining about the topic, or asking their companions anxiously.After knowing that their companions were also doing so well, they suddenly frowned, with relaxed smiles on their faces, and no longer worried.

"Master Du, here are all the test papers for today." After everyone left, the invigilator put away the test papers and gave them to Du Ji in the hall.

The reason why he is still the master book is not because Liu Yu is unwilling to add officials to him, but because the imperial court rewards have not come down, and Liu Yu has no right to add officials to the account.It is precisely because of this that Liu Yu and his civil and military officials are very embarrassed, occupying Huainan, but without corresponding status and official positions.

Seeing the thick test paper, Du Ji couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and even softened his tone, "Well, put it down."

In the first test in the morning, Du Ji selected some people.And these people can continue to participate in the second test in the afternoon, and if they are still selected, they can meet with Liu Yu.

Don't think it's nothing, Liu Yu, who defeated Yuan Shu with all his strength, now has a great reputation, especially in the Jianghuai area.Although he cannot be compared with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, he is respected as the reincarnated Liu Xiu.Regardless of the intentions of those who are interested, at least this reputation is loud enough to attract a large number of people with lofty ideals.

There was no time for lunch, so Du Ji sent someone to deliver the test papers, so he quickly flipped through the test papers.At the beginning, he was still excited, as if there was an astonishing masterpiece in this thick test paper.But soon, his smile disappeared, replaced by frowning and sighing.

"Oh, sure enough, there aren't any great talents in this group of people. Not to mention great talents, even middle-of-the-road people have few resources. Forget it, let's keep watching, maybe there will be some surprises." Turned more than half , Du Ji stopped for a while, took a sip of tea, and sighed with emotion.

After taking a sip of tea, Du Ji regained his energy and looked carefully.But no matter what, his speed has obviously accelerated, and it is obvious that he has no hope.

Sure enough, as the number of test papers decreased, his frown deepened.Finally, when it came to the last one, he shook his head in disappointment and said, "There are probably only a few of them, but these people... Sigh, isn't there anyone who can be reused?"

With a disappointed expression, he picked up the last test paper.At the beginning, he looked at ten lines at a glance, and his movements were very casual.But soon, his face suddenly became serious, and he turned his head again.This time, he said every word without any disappointment or impatience.And the excitement on his face became more and more obvious as the papers were graded.

"This... This person is at least one of the prefects, no, maybe more than that, and he is no worse than me." After Du Ji finished reading, his face was full of shock.

Afterwards, he was overjoyed, and laughed loudly: "Haha, you should be satisfied with this person's service. Well, I won't tell you for now, just give him a surprise."

After getting excited, he immediately summoned the guards and asked them to pass the notice to the invigilator in front of him.After receiving the notice, the invigilator immediately sent someone to post it on the wall outside.

This is probably the first time that the big man has released the rankings. Those who watched the excitement outside saw it, and immediately surrounded and quarreled excitedly, and the scene was full of hustle and bustle.And those who refer to it are pretending to be indifferent, but in fact they are staring at the list nervously.

Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly, "Hahahaha, I'm on top, I'm on top, look, the last one, hahaha..."

When other people heard it, they all stared sideways and pointed at him, feeling really jealous.Of course, some people pretended to be disdainful, saying: "But the last place, what's there to be happy about."

But the person who pretended to be disdainful immediately turned pale with anger, because someone shouted, "My lord, how could you not be on the list, it's impossible?"

"Hmph, it's just a recruitment list, what are you shouting about?" The man had already fled away without saying a word.

And all the people present looked at his back and laughed endlessly.And the person who had talked to Liu Yu also smiled indifferently, and then looked nervously at the recruitment list.

　Hehe, I will write the next chapter immediately. I just came back, and this chapter was written in the background, sorry, sorry ^O^
