Chapter 544
From Xiao Yuan's furiousness, it is not difficult to see how angry he is about this matter.
He was in a bad mood all day long.
It was during dinner, and at Gu Xue's bedroom, he looked like he was still angry.
At the round table, Gu Xue moved the corners of her mouth and said carefully: "Although Li Zhengfang was wrong in this matter, why did your husband vent his anger on the ministers?"
"Oh, don't worry!" Xiao Yuan said irritably, and at the same time he raised his head and drank the glass of strong wine.
The couple are actually very loving. In terms of etiquette, Gu Xue called him the king, called himself a concubine, and in private, she called him husband.
"Drink less." She said worriedly, and said, "I have heard of some things, what do you plan to deal with?"
"What else can it be done! A good thing has been made like this! There are many talented students in the north who feel wronged, so how can they not cause trouble!"
Xiao Yuan said: "This time it was not only Li Zhengfang's fault, but also my king's fault. But what can we do now? Will the thirty scholars admitted to the court be invalidated?"
Hearing this, Gu Xue immediately said, "This is not possible. Thirty scholars are already on the list. If your husband doesn't admit it, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?"
"And this exam cannot be invalidated. As the king of a country, if the orders change every day, where is the majesty?"
"What do you think of? Do I only recognize the students from Qin and Shu and ignore the students from the north?" Xiao Yuan asked back.
"Well..." Gu Xue moved her beautiful eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Well, husband, these thirty scholars have been accepted by the court and cannot be changed. Then, husband can use the imperial edict to inform the world of the king, and said that this exam will be divided into two games. The first game is Qin and Shu, and the second game is specifically for students from the north."
"At that time, we will select 30 people from the northern students to select the best students. In this way, the king will be majestic and the court will not change the government orders. The Qin and Shu students will each admit thirty scholars, so won't we be fair?"
After hearing what she said, Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise: "Madam, a good idea! Why didn't I think about it? I was still weighing whether to invalidate the right and left!"
Gu Xue pursed her lips and smiled.
"Haha! OK, OK!" Xiao Yuan was in a good mood as he was relieved. He immediately took her little hand and said with a smile: "It's great to have a wife by his side."
"Before marrying you, you often coaxed me, but after marrying me, you have never been so sweet." Gu Xue smiled slightly.
"Haha!" Xiao Yuan smiled heartily again.
The next morning court.
Yesterday, under the order of King Xiao Yuan, all civil and military officials did not dare to leave, but fought all night long.
After Xiao Yuan arrived here, there were still many silk books scattered on the ground.
The ministers quickly picked it up, and then knelt down on the ground: "I will meet the king, my king Wannian--"
Many people look sleepy and exhausted and have extremely poor spirits.
"Let's just sit flat." Xiao Yuan waved his hand and sat down at the throne. Then he casually looked at the scroll of silk books that had been presented to the king's case.
Then, Liu Yuzhi was the first to stand up and bowed and said, "The test papers of the king case were all considered by ministers and other officials yesterday and confirmed the scholars. Among them, there are indeed many northern students, but similarly, the thirty people chosen by Lord Li also have absolute talents, and the articles are remarkable."
"Yeah." Xiao Yuan nodded first, then glanced at the week and said, "All the masters are the best among the literati. You come to review the test papers. There is nothing to say. From yesterday to now, you are all hungry, are you?"
Hearing this, many ministers swallowed and felt hungry.
"Come on it!" Xiao Yuan shouted again.
As he said, the guards first carried several cases in, placed them in front of the ministers, and then served breakfast.
"I'm sorry, let's have a meal here." Xiao Yuan said casually.
"Thank you--" the people shouted in unison.
Breakfast, just a bowl of porridge, and a plate of pickles.
Xiao Yuan obviously wants to rectify these civil servants.
But even so, they had been hungry for a day, hurriedly knelt in front of the table, began to pick up chopsticks, pick up the porridge, pick up pickles, and swallowed them voraciously.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but feel happy when he looked at these high-ranking officials who were usually rich in fish and meat and had a good time.
After a while, after all the ministers finished their meal, the guards began to come in and clean up again.
Xiao Yuan also said seriously:
"My Qin Dynasty was defeated by my Qin army soldiers inch by inch! They fought bloody battles and traveled thousands of miles without eating, eating snow! Eat grass! They forced the Qin State today!"
"You are all my ministers and ministers. You should know the sufferings of the people! Experience the difficulties of Qin today!"
"I, please remember the teachings of the king--" people said quickly.
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan said again: "The first game has passed, and the thirty scholars on the list are still unchanged. The second game will open the list at the South Gate tomorrow, and thirty students from the north will be selected for the best."
"The second scene?" Liu Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, and immediately bowed: "The king is wise."
"Go to do this matter now! Issuing the king's order immediately, and you cannot delay it." Xiao Yuan said: "The ministers fought all night and had some results. Next, they will continue to review here and discuss and finalize the list of thirty northern students!"
"I will obey the order—"
This test storm was finally resolved under the suggestion of Princess Gu Xue.
After the Nanmen opened the list again, thirty northern students were also admitted, and Wang Zhao even explained that it was two tests.
This time, the number of places is twice as high as before. If you are not on the list, you can only say that it is your own problem. Who dares to say anything else?
For a moment, the most famous students from the North also started to scream excitedly.
Next, the final palace examination.
Among these sixty people, one of them will be the top one.
The test papers of these sixty scholars must not only be reviewed by important officials first, but will also be sent to Xiao Yuan to review them one by one, and finally he will make the decision by himself.
It is conceivable how glorious the person who finally entered the court hall in this grand test was.
In other words, it is the top talent among all the students of Qin.
A few days later, Xiao Yuan determined the top candidate and immediately summoned him to meet with the emperor.
This student, named Song Lian, was 25 or 26 years old. He was poor and loved to study when he was young. His writing style was magnificent, his writing was magnificent, and his momentum was extraordinary. When Xiao Yuan first read his article, he was also a little amazed.
The morning court of this day.
All the ministers had already been included in the list. Song Lian entered the hall with excitement and trepidation, hurriedly knelt on the ground, his voice trembling:
Chapter completed!
