"I might as well tell you that all the test questions on your brands today were made by me for half a month, based on the shortcomings of Rongguo's current policies!" Xia Lishuang sighed slightly, "After all, you all have in mind
Clearly, you can write poems in advance, but you can’t answer questions! Those of you who just wrote poems and then prepared to hand in the paper... are you really ready to become an official in the court? "
There was silence all around. As soon as these words came out, several people with high arrogance, talent and knowledge turned pale in an instant.
Xia Lishuang didn't look at these people twice, she just looked at Lu Shenyan indifferently.
"Master Lu! Please continue!"
Lu Shenyan nodded, his venomous mouth not changing from his previous character, and he continued to name names one by one.
But this time, everyone who was called finally put away their depressed expressions. Although each of them looked ugly, they still humbly accepted the suggestion.
The poems were reviewed quickly, and on the other side, Yuan Jurong and Xie Xiuyuan had almost finished reviewing all the test questions.
There are a total of sixty-eight people selected, all of whom are extremely good young people.
Lu Shenyan became even more wild, and finally wrote "Ling Yan Fu" with a stroke of his pen, which has been handed down to the world. It is widely known as a masterpiece in later generations and will last for a century alone!
"Now, all the results have been evaluated internally. Your Majesty plans to award you with the corresponding official positions and official seals based on your answers to the test questions this time. The powerful people have collapsed, and the court is empty. Your Majesty's grace has fallen. In order to consolidate the court, you have done this.
The purpose of this action is to select and appoint talents, and those who have committed no crimes or crimes will be awarded official positions based on their merits!"
Yuan Zurong stood in front of a group of people and said loudly, "As for the rest who have not achieved results, they can keep up their efforts. After all, there is only less than a year until autumn next year!"
"Please also ask Your Majesty to personally confer the title, and the Empress to grant the seal and official uniform!"
Yuan Surong bowed respectfully, and everyone behind him also fell in obeisance.
Xia Lishuang's majestic voice sounded particularly solemn in the vast world.
"Lu Shenyan, a Luzhou native, is thirty-six years old. He is given the position of Minister of Honglu Temple and a mansion!"
"Bishen, a native of Yongzhou, is twenty-nine years old. I gave him a mansion to Shaoqing Sinong!"
"Nan Xiubai, a native of the capital city, is twenty-six years old. He was given a residence by the right minister of the Ministry of Industry..."
…
"General History of the Rong Dynasty Volume 5" says, "In the second year of Ronghe's reign, all the powerful officials were killed, the official positions were empty, and there was no one in the court. The emperor and the queen discussed and held a poetry meeting in Lingyan Pavilion on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month to elect the Kirin in the World.
With their talents, sixty-nine officials were awarded to them! They were all the leaders of the glorious and prosperous times! It was called [Lintai Official Selection] in history.”
…
"Hey... Fortunately, we raided the Prince's Mansion, the Princess's Mansion, the Han Family, the Li Family, and the Jiang Family, and even acquired a lot of mansions. Later, people's livelihood became depressed, so they couldn't sell it, otherwise,
, Nowadays, there are so many officials and the national treasury is empty. For a while, it is really difficult to directly award money!"
Wen Ranran flipped through the book, looked at the list sent by the Ministry of Etiquette, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Lu Qian can now be regarded as the number one person in the Ministry of Etiquette. With the help of Cheng Fenglou and Wan Guangsheng, he can do things now
It’s quite stable!”
"I have allocated part of the Jiang family's money, and also asked people to open a silk warehouse. The silk is discounted, which can be regarded as a disguised solution to the current crisis. Over at the Ministry of Household Affairs, Yu Zidu is working hard to collect taxes and get through this year.
That would be much better!”
Xia Lishuang was still reading the brochure, and nodded slightly when she heard this, "Fortunately, I have you, otherwise I, as a person, would have no way to deal with so many things at the end of the year!"
Wen Ranran pursed her lips and looked at the dark circles under Xia Lishuang's eyes angrily.
"Let me tell you, once this Chao He incident is over, you must take a good rest for two days and pay attention to your health! If you continue like this, your body will collapse!"
Xia Lishuang smiled slightly and hugged Wen Ranran in front of the long table.
"Why, are you feeling distressed?"
Wen Ranran curled her lips, "That's not true... you are my husband-in-law. If I don't feel sorry for you, who will?"
Just after the election of officials, Lu Shenyan took office, but at this critical time of the year, all the nations came to visit, and people and horses had already entered Kyoto. It was really a rush to do one thing after another.
Wen Ranran was actually not in good health, but apart from the bizarre dreams during this period, she didn't feel particularly uncomfortable. She occasionally helped Xia Lishuang read the brochures.
