This question is easy to answer. Some people work for promotion and wealth, some work for the people, and some people just want to enjoy power.
But obviously, these inner thoughts cannot be said.
The current situation is equivalent to the imperial court's "palace examination", and they must come up with a more "beautiful" answer as soon as possible.
At this time, no one will talk about humility anymore.
Yu Chengyao was the first to walk out, and after saluting, he replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, students join the official service not to become officials, but to follow Your Highness and bring peace to troubled times!"
This statement is undoubtedly suspected of flattery, but it is a qualified answer and shows loyalty to Zhao Yanxun.
After saying only this sentence, Yu Chengyao returned to the train. Apparently he felt that this sentence was enough, and adding more was superfluous.
And his words also pointed out the direction for the rest of the people to answer the question, so the next few people all spoke in this direction.
Some praised Zhao Yanxun's saintliness and were inspired to serve, so they were willing to serve; some praised Zhao Yanxun's love for the people, and they were willing to follow him; some said that his martial arts and martial arts skills were world-class, and he would definitely be able to stabilize the world...
Although there are various opinions, the core remains the same. They all became officials because they were loyal to Zhao Yanxun.
This kind of answer seemed good to me at first, but after hearing it too much, I felt bored, but Zhao Yanxun didn't show it.
In fact, for feudal bureaucrats, if they are truly loyal to the monarch, they are already qualified.
At this moment, Huang Yuanqing was the only one left who had not yet answered.
Not only Liu Qingshan was worried, but Zhou Chengping also frowned.
At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder, was Huang Yuanqing frightened by the "palace examination" battle?
If that were the case, Zhou Chengping would also be disappointed, but at this moment he was still full of expectations for him.
After everyone had finished speaking, Huang Yuanqing remained silent. Even Yu Chengyao couldn't stand it anymore.
But at this time, Yu Chengyao did not dare to say a word to remind him, he only looked at Huang Yuanqing anxiously.
Only Zhao Yanxun, who has a strong sense of perception, can detect that Huang Yuanqing is making a seemingly difficult decision under his calm expression. This can be inferred from the micro-expressions.
Things are actually interesting... Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but think.
Finally, Huang Yuanqing made up his mind, and after saluting, he said: "Your Highness, a student becomes an official just to seek justice!"
Although these words cannot be said to be earth-shattering, their style is completely different from the previous ones.
Zhao Yanxun did not comment, but asked: "Seeking justice? What kind of justice are you seeking?"
Huang Yuanqing replied: "Seeking justice for the people under the palace's rule!"
"You mean...there are injustices under the royal family?" Zhao Yanxun's tone turned cold.
At this moment, everyone in the hall felt the pressure, and this was just Zhao Yanxun's test against Huang Yuanqing.
He would like to see whether Huang Yuanqing's "remarks" are just sensationalism, or whether he is sincerely seeking justice for the people.
"The area under the jurisdiction of the royal palace is vast, there are many officials, both good and bad, and the people are weak. It is inevitable that injustice will happen..."
Hearing these words, Liu Qingshan's eyes were full of worry. He really didn't expect Huang Yuanqing to be so courageous.
Zhou Chengping, the only one standing by, put his heart back in his stomach at this moment, secretly thinking that he had seen the right person.
Zhou Chengping was not worried about Huang Yuanqing's safety because he knew very well what kind of person Zhao Yanxun was, and such a wise king and holy master would not be as knowledgeable as Huang Yuanqing.
Seeing that Huang Yuanqing wanted to continue talking, Yu Chengyao couldn't help but remind him: "Yuanqing, what are you talking about?"
Yu Chengyao was taking a huge risk by stopping Huang Yuanqing at this time, and it was indeed very interesting to be his friend.
On the throne, Zhao Yanxun didn't care about these things. He picked up the teacup and said, "Let him speak!"
Huang Yuanqing was not greatly affected. The so-called selfless person is fearless, and everything he said was sincere.
"His Highness respects Heaven and loves the people, and does not allow injustice in the world. Students are willing to help those in need, in order to enhance His Highness's holiness!"
After saying this, Huang Yuanqing knelt directly on the ground and knocked his head on the floor unable to get up. This was a dead-end remonstrance.
At this moment, there was dead silence in the hall.
Even Zhou Chengping was a little moved at this moment, secretly thinking that this young man was too courageous.
Zhou Chengping was already prepared. If Zhao Yanxun wanted to reprimand Huang Yuanqing, he would have to help explain it.
Cheng Wenguang on the side felt uncomfortable when he saw Huang Yuanqing like this. What he hated most was Qingliu.
On the side, Yu Chengyao and others' eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness. Huang Yuanqing's actions frightened them.
It is said that the king's heart is like the sea. Zhao Yanxun has not expressed his position at the moment, which has brought great psychological pressure to these students who have not yet entered the officialdom.
Yu Chengyao was still worried about Huang Yuanqing, but the other people had already scolded him in their hearts, scolding him for not knowing the current situation and harming others and themselves.
In fact, during this period of silence, Zhao Yanxun was still testing Huang Yuanqing.
If this person is not unconventional and trying to please the public, then he is a good seedling worth cultivating, and it is not impossible for him to be ranked in the palace in the future.
Officials distinguish between turbid and clear currents. The former is like a crucian carp crossing a river, but it is not an exaggeration to say that an official with a true clear stream is like fishing for sand from a haystack.
When sweat broke out on Huang Yuanqing's forehead, Zhao Yanxun finally said: "Okay... okay!"
Having said this, Zhao Yanxun stood up from the throne and walked down the imperial steps: "There are talented people from generation to generation..."
Having said this, Zhao Yanxun glanced at Zhou Chengping and said, "Zhou Qing, this person's temperament is somewhat similar to yours!"
Just listen to Zhou Chengping say: "Your Majesty, even if a talented person is born, he still needs to know the master, otherwise the pearl will be covered with dust and he will be born at the wrong time!"
When Zhou Chengping was talking, Zhao Yanxun had already walked up to Huang Yuanqing.
Looking at the soap boots appearing in front of him, Huang Yuanqing's heart gradually calmed down.
"Get up!"
After saying these three words, Zhao Yanxun turned around and returned to the throne, while Huang Yuanqing also stood up from the ground.
After sitting down, Zhao Yanxun asked again: "If you are granted such official positions, how will you govern?"
At this time, the second question was raised, and it was obvious that Huang Yuanqing had passed the test.
The second question is tantamount to the second round of competition for the students. This question requires something practical. Just shouting slogans will not work.
"No need for long speeches, no more than a hundred words per person!"
Everyone immediately started talking, and the one who responded the fastest was Yu Chengyao.
"Reporting to Your Highness, if a student becomes an official, he should strictly abide by the laws, set an example, and supervise the officials and people under his rule to strictly abide by the king's laws!"
"At the same time, we encourage production and land reclamation, and suppress thieves who are sneaky, sneaky, and disrupt public order and disturb people's hearts!"
Yu Chengyao's answer was still full marks to Zhao Yanxun, and he had already determined in his heart that this person could be a capable minister.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Yuanqing stood up from the class train and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, if a student is an official, he should go deep into the people, examine the people's needs, solve the people's difficulties, so that the people know His Highness's kindness, and appreciate His Highness's virtuous government..."
"In this way, the people are united and working hard to help His Highness achieve great things!"
It can be said that Huang Yuanqing not only had a clear mind, but also did not forget to flatter Zhao Yanxun.
After Huang Yuanqing finished speaking, other students answered one after another, but they could only say that they had passed the test.
