"I've met the King of Jin!" Several voices sounded in succession, and five people, Cai Yong, Wang Meng, Guan Zhong, Kong Rong, and Xun Yu, unexpectedly arrived together.
Kong Rong and Cai Yong are not Li Xiang's subordinates. Naturally, they will not follow Wang Meng, Guan Zhong, and Xun Yu and call them lord!
"Let's sit down and talk later!" Li Xiang said, waving to the seats on both sides. These five people were the imperial examination examiners, plus the evaluators. These five people appearing together could only be related to the imperial examination.
"What on earth happened to make you come together!" The orderer handed each of these people a cup of tea, and then Li Xiang asked about the business!
"My lord, I have finished reviewing the examination papers for the civil service examinations. However, it is difficult for the three of us to agree on the candidates for the first class. I would like to ask your lord to make a decision!" Wang Meng took a sip of tea and spoke calmly.
road.
The five of them have been arguing about this matter all day long, and now they can dump this matter on Li Xiang and save him the trouble!
Third-A, which is the three levels of imperial examination admission, is divided into first-A, second-A and third-A. In layman's terms, this first-A is the top three, the second-place, and the top three. And these three are destined to be among the top three in the imperial examination.
The three who received the most glory.
Li Xiang's imperial examination was slightly different. He had three top picks, three second top picks, and three top picks.
Among them, there is one for the civil examination and two for the military examination. Among the martial arts examinations, whether it is the martial arts subject or the art of war subject, Li Xiang counts them separately and does not directly mix them together.
"Prince Jin, I think that this man's literary talents are astonishing and he can be the first choice!" Kong Rong, the great scholar, stood up first and said. At the same time, he handed several examination papers to Li Xiang.
"My lord, this man has the talent to govern the country, and in his articles, he proposed the Green Crops Law, the Recruitment Law, the Farmland Water Conservancy Law, the Farmland Tax Law, the Baojia Law and many other methods to enrich the country and strengthen its army. Judging from his articles, he is undoubtedly the pillar of the country.
The first choice!" Not to be outdone, Guan Zhong handed over several examination papers and gave his own recommendations.
Since the imperial examination used a name-blinding system this time, no one knows which candidate each examination paper corresponds to until a final decision is made.
Therefore, although Guan Zhong and Kong Rong gave their favorite candidates, they did not know whose article it was.
Li Xiang browsed through it roughly and found that the person recommended by Guan Zhong was Wang Anshi. Just based on the many measures he proposed in his last article to enrich the country and strengthen the army, Li Xiang had already guessed that he was Wang Anshi.
As for the person recommended by Kong Rong, his literary talent is indeed amazing. However, the level of his answers in this last article, although there are some unique features and he has indeed shown his talents, is obviously much worse than that of King Anshi.
From Li Xiang's point of view, the article written by the person recommended by Kong Rong was somewhat noisy. Although the whole article was rich in rhetoric, it was not as precise as Wang Anshi's every word.
What's more, is Wang Anshi's literary talent really inferior to that person? It's just that Wang Anshi is more pragmatic when answering.
"My lord, these three people have excellent political strategies and strategies. They each have their own unique points in analyzing the world situation, and some of their strategies to quell chaos are reasonable. These three people are all talented, and it is difficult to distinguish them.
, the decision can only be made by the lord!" Wang Meng also interrupted, and this guy was even more incredible. Kong Rong and Guan Zhong only gave one candidate each, but this guy actually gave three candidates at once.
However, this also shows that these three people are indeed talented. Otherwise, it would not be difficult for Wang Meng to make a choice.
Among the literary examinations, the previous questions all tested the theories of hundreds of schools of thought, the sayings of sages and even the way to become an official. Only the last question only had the word "天下" in it.
The world is so vast, and everyone has a different angle of answering, and this last question is the key to truly testing these candidates.
The man recommended by Kong Rong was from the perspective of governing the world; the man recommended by Guan Zhong pointed out that in order to bring peace to the world, one must first be rich and powerful, and followed it with a series of measures; and the three recommended by Wang Meng
People analyze the general trend of the world and come up with corresponding strategies to level the world from different perspectives.
After Li Xiang looked through the answer sheets of these people together, he had to say that except for the shortcomings of the people recommended by Kong Rong, the other people did have their own merits. No wonder these people couldn't make a choice!
"If there are any other candidates, please submit them together!" Li Xiang looked at Cai Yong and Xun Yu again, and waved. These two people actually came together. How could there be no candidate that he likes!
Hearing this, Cai Yong made no move, but Xun Yu couldn't hold himself back any longer!
Although Cai Yong also had a favorite candidate, that person was exactly one of the three people pointed out by Wang Meng. Since Wang Meng had already submitted that person's answer sheet, there was no need for him to put in any more effort.
"Lord, in his writing, every strategy of this person goes straight to the point, and he is quite like Mr. Wenhe!" Xun Yu didn't say much, but he did have candidates he recommended.
Li Xiang scanned it several times and finally understood why Xun Yu didn't say much. Just as Xun Yu said, this person does have the style of Jia Wenhe. Judging from the strategies listed in his writing, there is quite an unscrupulous meaning.
.
This is still in the article. If he were to make plans in practice, his plans would definitely be much more sinister than those on the paper.
The day before, because Xun Yu tried his best to introduce this character, he was scolded by Kong Rong and Cai Yong. If such a person is placed in the first position, wouldn't it encourage unhealthy trends?
However, Xun Yu had the air of a gentleman, and Kong Rong and Cai Yong were both great Confucians of the time, so Xun Yu couldn't just yell back without caring about his own image.
To be honest, Li Xiang admires this person very much. In troubled times, this kind of talent is needed.
However, after having the first few choices, it is no longer easy to rank him in front of those people. The three positions in the first class are not his turn, and he can only be ranked closer to the second class.
One of the few positions before.
It's not that this person's talents are inferior to those of the previous ones, it's just that the top position should serve as a role model, and such a vicious person is not suitable for this position.
However, even if we exclude the person recommended by Xun Yu and the person recommended by Kong Rong through PS, there are still four candidates left.
Judging from their answers, these four people each have their own merits and unique vision. It is difficult for Wang Meng and others to rank them. Can Li Xiang solve this problem?
Regarding this situation, Li Xiang could only say helplessly that he was also very confused!
