Forced To Start The Game, Summon A Hundred Thousand Snow Dragon Riders

Chapter 66 Can Such A Person Be The Number One Scholar?

However, after confirming the second place.

Li Xiu even looked through more than a hundred policy theories, but he never saw an article that caught his eye.

Just when Ye Yun was getting a little sleepy.

Suddenly, an article called "Zhengyi Lun" caught Li Xiu's attention.

"Tubo and Turks are the most powerful among the four barbarians around my Tang Dynasty, but the threats they pose to my Tang Dynasty are different."

"The main purpose of the Turkic invasion was to plunder property and population, not the land of our Tang Dynasty, but Tubo is not."

"Tubo occupies a favorable location and has a strong army. Over the past hundred years, it has continuously eroded the land in the northwest of our Tang Dynasty, cut off the connection between the Anxi army and our Tang Dynasty, and broke through Chang'an several times. This is really a trouble in our Tang Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty ordered a general to defend against the Turks in the north. After keeping the north safe from any worries, he will use all his strength to defeat Tubo, and only then can he realize the first step of conquering Siyi."

"..."

The more Li Xiu watched, the more satisfied he became. At the end, he slapped his thigh hard.

"it is good!"

"This kid is a talent!"

In just a few words, the stakes are clearly analyzed.

No bells and whistles.

Li Xiu glanced at the end of the article and signed it as Cao Shuang.

"This article is so well written, why is it ranked so low?"

Li Xiu looked at the Minister of Rites and the others with a displeased expression.

This group of people almost buried the top talent!

Minister of Rites and others were so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground, and said with an ugly face: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers and others are burying talents, but that Cao Shuang's behavior is not good. According to the elders in his village, this son is young. Then I had inappropriate communication with several widows in the village..."

"I am?!"

Three sixes instantly popped up in Li Xiu's mind.

Is this Cao Mengde's behavior!

He even wondered for a while, is this Cao Shuang a direct descendant of Cao Cao?

"Your Majesty, although talent is given priority in the selection of Scholars, Cao Shuang's character is so bad, if he is designated as the number one scholar, I am afraid it will cause criticism from all over the world..."

The Minister of Rites spoke earnestly.

Morality is so important to scholars.

It was already a miracle that Cao Shuang was able to take the imperial examination.

Now, if he is hand-picked as the number one scholar, wouldn't it be a shame for scholars all over the world?

"Although this Cao Shuang's character is not good, his talent is undeniable. The number one scholar must belong to him."

Li Xiu just pondered for a while, and then said: "Let's do it!"

"Immediately order Cao Shuang to bring all the widows in his village into the house by the right marriages. In this way, Cao Shuang will become a responsible and good man, and his moral problems will be easily solved?"

After speaking, even Li Xiu himself nodded, admiring own's wit.

Cao Shuang, Cao Shuang, thank you for your kindness!

"This……"

The Minister of Rites and several scholars were speechless.

looked at each other.

Can this work?

...

Outside Jixian Hall.

More than 300 tributes were waiting outside the hall, waiting for the results of the palace examination.

Those of them who can participate in the palace examination mean that the vast majority of them can become Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty and have a bright future.

But they still want to go one step further, get a higher ranking and a bigger future.

Especially those three who ranked first, No. 1, No. 2, and No. 1.

Any one of them will be a glorious ancestor and an existence whose name will remain in history.

"Guess everyone, who will be the No. 1 candidate in this palace examination?"

A Gong Shi was in a panic and asked.

"That must be Liu Qingzhi, Brother Liu!"

"Brother Liu is the number one talented scholar in the Central Plains. He has a prominent family background and outstanding literary talent. He has already become famous all over the world before taking the imperial examination. If this number one scholar is not him, who could it be?"

"You're right, Brother Liu, then I'll congratulate you in advance!"

"That's right, brother Liu, the number one scholar in high school, this is a great honor, especially for a holy master like His Majesty, the hand-picked number one candidate, if he performs well, he will definitely become a famous minister of our Tang Dynasty!"

Liu Qingzhi quickly waved his hands, "The result hasn't come out yet, so don't you guys want to flatter and kill Liu."

Liu Qingzhi evaded it on the surface, but actually it was very useful in his heart. He also felt that the position of the number one scholar should not escape his palm.

In the article, he advised His Majesty to manage the Central Plains well and give up the territorial idea of the surrounding alien races.

In his opinion, this is the best strategy for the Tang court.

They are the land of the Central Plains China, which is rich in products and has everything.

The land of alien races is of no use to the Central Plains dynasty at all, so why bother to conquer it so much?

It's better to spend your mind on internal affairs, reclaim more farmland, and collect more taxes, all of which are far more valuable than conquering foreign lands.

If it were any emperor of the dynasty, he would adopt his opinion, not to mention the wise and powerful, astute holy majesty today?

At this moment, the Minister of Rites and several Jixian Hall scholars came out.

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites and all the scholars have come out!"

All the tributes outside Jixian Hall, their eyes lit up immediately, and hurriedly bowed to the Minister of Rites and others.

All the tributes were extremely excited.

The Minister of Rites just glanced at everyone, "His Majesty's will, the results of this palace examination have been released."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the imperial decree in his hand, and said loudly: "Wang Xiu and Fan Bin, the article hits the mark of the times, and I quite like it. I'm ordered to be the second place in the list!"

In the crowd, both Wang Xiu and Fan Bin showed ecstasy.

Obviously, they did not expect that the two of them would be able to win the second place and third place respectively.

All the tributes were also surprised that both Wang Xiu and Fan Bin came from Bailu Academy.

Unexpectedly, among the top three, Bailu Academy actually occupied two of them.

However, although Liu Qingzhi was surprised, he didn't think too much about it. The second place in the list was rare for him, and the only place that caught his eye was the number one!

Under the champion, there are all floating clouds!

In Liu Qingzhi's eyes, a strong confidence appeared.

However, the eyes of the Minister of Rites did not stay on him, but fell on a person in the corner, and said loudly: "Cao Shuang has the talent to rule the world and rule the world, and he is ordered to be the number one scholar!"

After the words fell, there was a sudden silence in the arena!

The No. 1 candidate is actually Cao Shuang?

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cao Shuang, who was still in the corner and no one cared about him, immediately strode forward to give thanks.

Not far away, Liu Qingzhi suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a bolt from the blue.

"How could it be Cao Shuang? That wife Cao who specializes in stealing widows?"

Liu Qingzhi only felt a deep sense of absurdity in his heart.

Such a person can also be the champion?

Become the idol of scholars all over the world?

What are you kidding?

"Master Shangshu, did you make a mistake?"

Liu Qingzhi still did not give up.
