"Mr. Zhang, in your opinion, who is the most powerful person in this imperial examination?"
In private situations, titles are not so serious. As Zhang Shixun is an old minister of Qiandi, Li Jie can call him "Mr. Zhang".
"Zheng Jian, the son of Suzhou, is the leader of the world!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shixun quickly replied.
Zheng Jian?
Li Jie was a little surprised when he heard this name. In the original history, Zheng Jian was the third in this subject.
But the difference between third place and first place is still huge.
"Submit your answer sheet."
Although he felt a little surprised, Li Jie still followed the procedure and summoned the answer sheet.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Maoqin immediately sent the top ten answer sheets to the case.
Wow!
Wow!
After a while, the only sound in the hall was the sound of flipping through answer sheets. Looking at Zheng Jian's answer sheet, Li Jie frowned slightly.
Zheng Jian's answer is certainly very constructive, but if it is really about the facts, his answer will be just like that.
On the contrary, Ye Qingchen's policy is somewhat interesting.
However, considering Ye Qingchen's identity, it is normal for him to have this understanding.
After all, Ye Qingchen was Ding Wei's son-in-law, and with Ding Wei as his backing, he had a complete first-mover advantage in the palace examination.
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
Time passed slowly. Li Jie thought about it and felt that it seemed inappropriate for Zheng Jian to be the number one pick.
However, it is not in line with etiquette to make Ye Qingchen the number one scholar.
After pondering for a moment, Li Jie decided to lift Fu Bi into his headgear.
Historically, although Fu Bi made quite a few mistakes in his later years, history is history, and the present is now. Take a look at Fu Bi's strategies during the imperial examination.
At this time, Fu Bi was still a passionate young man.
In short, Fu Bi advocated reform.
Nominating him as the number one pick is politically correct!
"This volume is extremely good and should be ranked first."
After a while, Li Jie took out Fu Bi's test paper alone, and then the chamberlain handed it to Zhang Shixun and Zhou Qi.
Fu Bi?
Zhang Shixun was very surprised when he saw this answer sheet, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable.
This person is the number one scholar, so it's not impossible.
After all, Fu Bi was a true northerner.
The northern scholar is the top scholar!
Reasonable!
Here, Zhang Shixun had no objection, but over there, Zhou Qi suddenly mentioned it.
"Fu Bi, a scholar from Xijing, is only twenty years old. If you choose him as the number one scholar, do you think..."
For the rest, even if Zhou Qi didn't say anything, Li Jie and Zhang Shixun understood what he meant.
Twenty years old is too young!
"That's not a bad idea."
Zhang Shixun stroked his beard and smiled.
"Fu Bi's strategy is indeed excellent. There is nothing inappropriate in naming him as the first."
"In the first year of Emperor Taizong Duangong's reign (988), Duke Cheng Wenxi was appointed as the chief minister at the age of eighteen, and Fu Bi was appointed as the chief minister at the age of twenty. It was no problem."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Qi immediately wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the official's appointment of Fu Bi might have something to do with it.
Therefore, there was no sound from Zhou Qi.
Yes, how old is Guan Jia this year?
Only fourteen years old!
At the age of fourteen, you can be the master of the world, and at the age of twenty, you can be the number one scholar, so why not?
The official family is still young, so it is normal to like young scholars.
However, neither Zhang Shixun nor Zhou Qi understood what Li Jie really meant.
Younger officials are the future trend!
It seems that there will only be fewer and fewer Jinshi who wait until the age of thirty or fifty.
After unilateral discussions, Fu Bi finally became the top one on the Tiansheng Second Year Ranking, which no one expected.
But it's really happening.
Finally, after Li Jie's change, Fu Bi was selected as the top pick, Zheng Jian ranked second, Ye Qingchen third, Yin Zhu fourth, and Wu Gan fifth.
Although the ranking is slightly different from the original one, overall, it has not changed much.

April 1st.
It was less than three days before the results were released. Although I was not worried about being dismissed from the palace examination for this subject, I was still very concerned about the release of the results.
This subject in the Second Year of Tiansheng is a special subject.
Previously, after passing the Jinshi title, new Jinshi could be directly released from the imperial examination and awarded officials. This system was completely different from that in the Tang Dynasty.
During the Tang Dynasty, even the famous Han Yu, who was a Jinshi or later, could not be directly awarded an official position.
In the eighth year of Zhenyuan (792), Han Yu passed the imperial examination, but failed to become an official because he failed in the civil service examination.
After that, Han Yu wrote three times but was refused. In the end, he had no choice but to join the Xuanwu Army's military governor Dong Jin and serve as a small observation and promotion officer.
At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, taking into account the shortcomings of the previous dynasty, new scholars except Wujia were allowed to enter official positions directly without waiting.
Since then, this system has become a regular practice.
However, the situation has changed now. Although the current Jinshi and others can be directly awarded an official, this official is not the other official.
The first stop for a new Jinshi is not to become an official, but to observe government.
As for how to view politics specifically?
Since this is the first time that the Guanzheng system has been implemented, no one knows what the evaluation standards of the Guanzheng system are.
After all, this was not directly reflected in the edict.
And this was also done deliberately by Li Jie.
Sometimes, especially in politics, ambiguity is a better way to make decisions.
Only by being vague can you have flexible interpretation power.
In the final analysis, what is the main task of Guanzheng Jinshi?
It’s a place to watch politics!
No matter good or bad, decentralization to local governments is the key!
Governance is the key!
Especially local officials.
Local relations are intricately intertwined. If we just place our hopes on the chief officials, it will be difficult to solve many local problems.
But the new Jinshi is different.
When they supervise local areas, the effect is even better than that of eunuchs.
Ding Mansion.
On this day, although the rankings have not been officially released, Ding Wei already knows the specific rankings.
Ye Qingchen was third on the Tiansheng Second Year List and ranked second, which Ding Wei had not expected in advance.
Among the tribute examinations, the Jinshi subject is the most important.
Among them, the top ranking of Jinshi subjects is the most important.
Before the palace examination began, Ding Wei had already mentally prepared that Ye Qingchen would be ranked second. Who would have thought that Ye Qingchen would be ranked third.
Second place!
You can be directly appointed as the general magistrate of Xiaozhou!
They are all state officials when they join the government, so I don't know how much time they save.
Except for the eldest Ding Gong, none of Ding Wei's sons became successful. Previously, Ding Gong was dismissed by the Queen Mother.
Now we are still wasting our time.
Comparing goods has to be thrown away, and comparing people to others can lead to death. The potential shown by Ye Qingchen at this time has already exceeded that of Ding Wei's children.
Therefore, Ding Wei was prepared to appropriately allocate some resources to Ye Qingchen.
Is the son-in-law half a son after all?
Look at Wang Zeng, isn’t that a good example?
How much power did the Li Hang family occupy because of Wang Zeng?
Ding Wei didn't expect too much. He just hoped that Ye Qingchen could settle in the two mansions, and that would be enough.
