Wen Family Has a Wife

Soon, the test papers came out, and this time only the theory was tested. When he saw the test questions, Wen Yuanliang couldn't help but want to scold his mother even if he was prepared.

The first topic is "Zhou Li, agriculture, industry and commerce have their own special officials", the second topic "Military system since the Han and Tang Dynasties, and today's situation proves it", and the third topic "Ancient financial management, are there any similarities and differences with the budgets and final accounts of various countries?" , The fourth question "The right and wrong of a scholar's study depends on the gains and losses of education. The ancient Situ Xiuming Confucianism, using the selection of scholars, handsome scholars, and making scholars as the method of appointing officials. The disciples of Jia and Dong are called Yuanmao the most. Scholars in the Eastern Han Dynasty were virtuous and respectful, and those who commented on the disease would flaunt their clear opinions, and they would surely be judged. Today, I want to make evil spirits out of the world. Where did you come from?"

These four questions, involving business, military affairs, finance, and literature, are worthy of the emperor's handwriting, and the questions are sharp, especially the last question. If he answers ambiguously, the emperor will not like it. , But, from the heart, some of the content written will inevitably offend people, and more importantly, the papers for the palace examination have to be screened by the cabinet. If the cabinet cannot pass the test, your own papers cannot be presented to the emperor.

For the sake of his future career, Wen Yuanliang could only resist the impulse and calmly think about how to answer. Due to time constraints, he could only draw up a pen quickly. The first question is easy to say, and it can be judged from the perspective of agriculture, industry and commerce. , from the village to the top, to Chengdu", "The industry is the end of agriculture and the foundation of business, the commission of agriculture is the origin of business", "On the relationship between business and the world, through all changes, to understand human feelings, The use of examination equipment can help the poor of farmers and workers, and can guide the knowledge of farmers and workers. Farmers and workers are old, but merchants are new;

The second topic is about the military system. First, we will make an overview of the military system since the Han and Tang Dynasties, and then combine the current situation of Daqi to take the essence and discard the dross. However, in Wen Yuanliang’s view, Daqi’s internal troubles are greater than external troubles. The so-called military system It's more like the emperor asked them what kind of military system can make the imperial power permanent.

If he answered from this angle, the emperor would be delighted. It's just that some people in the cabinet might jump their feet. However, he believes that the cabinet is not all treacherous ministers.

So Wen Yuanliang gritted his teeth and really "followed his heart".

The third question is about finances. This question is easy for him to do, and it is the easiest to do. He only needs to glance at his draft to complete it. The fourth question involves the theory of selecting officials. "Unhappy", that is, how to distinguish between loyal and traitorous, Wen Yuanliang couldn't help but want to insinuate, and was distressed that he couldn't pass the test paper.

Just as he was struggling, he found that the light above his head was much dimmed.

There are people behind!

This was his first thought, who is this person? Several examiners obviously didn't move. They could move around in the examination room so casually, and the answer was ready to come out.

Wen Yuanliang was so nervous that his heart jumped into his throat. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, looked at the fourth question again, gritted his teeth, and raised his pen.

Just like that, he met the gaze above his head, and answered bravely, "There is no breeze in the world, people's hearts are not ancient, dare not speak righteousness, dare not speak of death, but I heard that the whole world talks about profit, and I will be happy and I will die. The heroes who wronged the country died, and the monuments of the ages are illuminated at night."

In the end, I don’t know if it was bloody, but the more I wrote, the more excited I became, the more I wrote, the more passionate I was, and even the fear and awe in my heart faded a lot, leaving only one thought, he wanted to listen to what was in his heart!

While Wen Yuanliang was concentrating on answering the question, the emperor just stood there silently for an hour before turning around and leaving.

The examiners sitting in the upper seat peeked at each other, not knowing what they meant. Just now they were going to salute, but they were stopped by the emperor. Yuan watched him do the topic for a long time, and didn't know what Huiyuan wrote and what the emperor thought.

These papers will be sent to the cabinet first, and their names will be sealed. They don't know whose papers belong to them.

In case the emperor's preferred paper fails to pass, will they have to eat and fail?

The more they thought about it, the more uneasy they became, but nothing could be seen on the surface.

Wen Yuanliang didn't raise his head until he finished answering all the questions. He breathed a sigh of relief, blinked his eyes, and went through his answers again to make sure there was nothing wrong before he began to pay attention to the movement behind him. At this time, the surrounding light was a little dim, and he couldn't feel Seeing that scrutinizing gaze, I think the emperor is gone.

Thinking about it this way, he just felt his whole body relax, what's the matter with a faint sense of loss?

Wen Yuanliang, who was confused, simply gave up thinking about it. After making sure that the answer papers were correct, he carefully put away his examination equipment. When the time came, he got up and waited for the papers in front of him to be taken away before slowly walking out of the examination room.

After leaving the palace this time, he also had the intention to appreciate the honor and beauty of this world, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to step in again in this life.

Wen Yuanliang hooked the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner. At this time, his mood was a bit complicated. He cared more about what the person behind him just now thought than that the answer sheet angered the cabinet. Even if I won the first prize, I wouldn't be very happy, but I would worry about my future career. If the superior is a wise emperor, then the emperor should take care of what he just wrote.

No matter what, the answers are all answered, and everything is a foregone conclusion.

Walking out of the gate of the palace, Wen Yuanliang had already packed up his mood, and he looked so unrestrained and unrestrained. Seeing Zhuo Mingxuan and Zhuo Qianzhao who were waiting from a distance, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and he rushed over happily .

Originally, he had attracted a lot of attention as a Huiyuan, but now seeing his cheerful appearance, everyone speculated whether Wen Yuanliang would be the champion of the new department.

Zhuo Mingxuan on the carriage laughed angrily at Wen Yuanliang's appearance, rolled his eyes and complained: "You said you are also a father, do you know how to write the word steady?"

Wen Yuanliang bowed his body and paused. He was going to get in and sit next to Zhuo Mingxuan, but he didn't dare. He sat down cautiously next to Zhuo Qianzhao, and even smiled politely at Zhuo Mingxuan.

Zhuo Mingxuan was overjoyed, and laughed and scolded full of anger: "Get out of here!"

Wen Yuanliang touched his nose in embarrassment, and changed his position obediently, not noticing the faint smile at the corner of Zhuo Qianzhao's mouth at all.

Seeing that he was acquainted, Zhuo Mingxuan asked, "How is the palace examination going?"

"Okay! Very good!" Wen Yuanliang couldn't help rushing to talk, it was clearly a guilty conscience.

Zhuo Mingxuan narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Huh?"
