The policy question comes from the second book

Xiao He?

Cao Shen thought he had made a mistake, because he really shouldn't. Since the second on the list was not Mr. Shen, the first on the list must be Mr. Shen, but no matter how he looked at it, the first on the list didn't seem to be Mr. Shen's name.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously to see if he was dazzled. When he opened his eyes again, it was still the same name, Xiao He. In other words, the number one on the list was not Young Master Shen, but Xiao He.

"Xiao He? Brother?" Cao Shen couldn't believe it, "Could they have the same name?"

So, his eyes moved to the right and fell on the person behind.

Chang'an Township.

At this moment, he was stunned. Yes, it was Chang'an Township. There was only one person in Chang'an Township who signed up for the imperial examination, and that was his brother.

"Brother is actually number one on the list, not Mr. Shen." Cao Shen was shocked, "Brother, wasn't he deposed? How could he still be here?"

Cao Shen was very suspicious that he was out of his mind. He blinked hard and confirmed again and again that the name of the first one on the list was indeed his brother Xiao He.

At this moment, he felt like he was walking in the clouds.

However, he was just confused for a few breaths and immediately became happy for his brother.

Brother is not useless, but better.

The next moment, Cao Shen was confused again. Brother, couldn't he read classics? Why did he end up at the top of the list?

This question lingers in my mind.

"When the shortlisted answers are announced later, be sure to take a good look at how I won the first place on the list."

Yes, the imperial examination supervisor has stated that in order to show fairness, all shortlisted answers will be made public and everyone can see the content of the answers.

Let’s talk about Mr. Shen, when the third list appeared, even though he was calm on the surface, he was very nervous inside. He looked from the bottom up like Cao Shen. When he saw that the third list was blank, he had no inner fluctuations. On the contrary,

Somewhat of course.

Yes, it is a matter of course. There is really no one in the world who can be compared with him except Shusunfu. No, now that Shusunfu appears on the lower list, he is no longer qualified to compare with him. In other words, apart from him, there is no one else.

No one can be on the third list.

Only talented people can be in the third list, and he is that talented person.

He could have expected that, let alone the third on the list, the second list might be empty, and no student in the world would be qualified to be at the top of the list with him.

His eyes moved up excitedly and landed on the second list, but to his surprise, there was someone on the second list.

"There is someone who is qualified to be inferior to me? Who is it?"

He was not angry and stared at the name seriously.

High wealth.

What?

He was startled, thinking that he had seen it wrong, and when he looked hard at the person behind him, it turned out to be Gaofu, Gaofugui of Gaofu, wasn't this the Gaofugui he knew?

"How is it possible? He can actually be ranked at the top of the list, even more powerful than Shusunfu." Mr. Shen said to himself in disbelief.

I heard that the rich and powerful are ignorant and incompetent people. How can they be ranked second even if they are ignorant and incompetent? He couldn't figure it out.

However, he quickly stopped taking it seriously. Gao Fugui had never entered his eyes. Even if he stood out and ranked second on the list, he still didn't take it seriously.

Because he must be number one on the list, not comparable to number two.

He is not comparable to wealth and wealth.

His eyes moved from the second list and slowly upwards. He began to feel nervous, but also very excited. He had already expected that the familiar name would appear, the supreme name given to him by his father, Shen.

Here, here, he saw the first one on the list, and saw that extremely bright and glorious name clearly printed in his pupils.

Xiao He.

What? Xiao He? Not Shen.

He is not number one on the list, so where should he be?

He continued to look up in panic, but it was the end.

this moment.

Mr. Shen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and various feelings of disbelief crept into his heart, so much so that he almost shouted hysterically.

The first one on the list is Xiao He, not him. He is not even on the list. He is not even qualified to be shortlisted.

"How is this possible? How is this possible?" Mr. Shen was a little crazy and started talking nonsense, "How could it be Xiao He and not me? Who is Xiao He? How could he take the first place on my list? It's impossible."

He was holding his head, as if he was in pain, and was spinning in circles. The admirers around him could not have imagined that this would be the case, and they were all confused and did not know how to react.

Normally, if Young Master Shen was slightly unhappy, they would try their best to flatter him, but today, for some reason, they were all gone, and there was still a cold look on his face.

All the students watching the results saw that the previous flattery and flattery suddenly disappeared, and they actually looked like they were laughing.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Mr. Shen kept shaking his head, staring at the list, no matter how hard he looked at it, he couldn't believe it.

"There must be something fishy. It's impossible for me to be so talented and not be shortlisted."

"If I know who has committed fraud, I will definitely tell my father and ask him to meet His Majesty for a strict investigation."

Mr. Shen stared deeply at the imperial examination supervisors present, as if he was doubting them, and then moved his eyes to the side.

There, the examiners of the imperial examination were pasting the answers of the shortlisted candidates one by one.

His eyes fell on Xiao He's answer sheet. The handwriting was beautiful and strong, and the answers were actually full and not blank as everyone thought before.

Reading through the questions one by one, it is so incredible that the answers, insights, and ideas are so novel and thought-provoking.

Politicians walk the high road, the world is for the common good, and the people live in peace

Regulations on representatives of the people: the people are the people, and what the people want is the national policy

When business moves, the people follow, promoting circulation and controlling business taxes.

Available for election to a five-year term, yes.

Each approach has unique insights and feasible strategies. He can imagine that such a wise king will be very happy.

Yes, his father once told him that his Majesty was very dissatisfied with the growing shortcomings of the dynasty, and the emergence of the imperial examination was in response to this.

He kept his father's words in mind, but suffered from being an unenlightened person, so when he answered the paper, he used old thoughts and opinions, which were completely different from such novel answers.

"So that's how it is! I might as well do the same!" Mr. Shen, who had been crazy just now, stopped being crazy for the first time in his life. Instead, he quickly showed ecstasy and suddenly realized something.

Yes, just for that moment, as soon as he read it, he realized it.

The reason why he was so confident before was that he could not find an opponent, but now when he saw Xiao He's theory, he was immediately shocked and sighed that he was far inferior.

Yes, this is a new thought, a new insight, or it can be said to be a new theory, which is as bright as any school of thought.

Isn’t this new theory exactly what my father proposed and what he was looking for?

Similarly, the great Qin Dynasty has suffered from many shortcomings. What it needs at this moment is reform. Isn’t this exactly what your Majesty needs?

He could imagine that the emperor would be greatly shocked when he saw such a theory, and it was natural for him to be number one on the list.

He lost well. Xiao He should be ranked first on the list.

After reading Xiao He's policy, he turned his attention to Gao Fugui's answer. He was also extremely surprised. Gao Fugui actually understood such a theory. Although he was not as good as Xiao He, he was definitely not disgraceful to the second place on the list.

He scanned the twenty-eight at the bottom of the list one by one. He had some novel ideas, but compared to Xiao He and Gao Fugui, they were far inferior.

Thinking about it again, the answers I gave were all outdated Legalist and Confucian theories, which were simply unsightly. Compared with this, the difference was huge.

"My thoughts are outdated!" At this moment, Mr. Shen fully understood and felt relieved. What he had learned was not inferior to others, but it was no longer suitable for the current Qin Dynasty. In other words, he was lagging behind.

How can you be considered to be on the list if you are lagging behind? It is difficult.

He immediately figured out the reason for his failure.

"But, whose hand did such a theory come from? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Xiao He, who did Gao Fugui worship as his teacher, and he actually learned such theology?" Mr. Shen began to envy him, and began to long for him in his heart.

At this moment, his sense of defeat was completely diluted, replaced by the pursuit and desire for such a doctrine. In just a few moments, it became stronger and more persistent.

"I also want to learn this doctrine!"

It has to be said that Mr. Shen's transformation is not something ordinary people can achieve. It's no wonder that he is praised as a great talent by everyone. Great talents often have something extraordinary about them. Maybe this is it!

At that time, Cao Shen was beside Mr. Shen, staring at Xiao Hezhi as he answered the question, and his eyes became very intense.

Exactly, his hands began to tremble, his eyes were piercing, and he couldn't help but make a sound, "It's such an idea, it's so wonderful, I can't believe it, my brother is a great talent!"

In an instant, he also agreed with this theory, and his expression was extremely excited.

"Brother is still alive, he is even more outstanding."

"It's just, why do I think I've seen such a theory before?" The next moment, Cao Shen fell into deep thought.

"Have you seen it?" Master Shen was shocked when he heard this. His eyes suddenly shot to Cao Shen and asked urgently, "Brother, where have you seen such a theory?"

When he saw that Cao Shen was older, he called him brother. This would have been impossible before, which shows how quickly his thoughts changed.

Cao Shen knew that this man was Mr. Shen, but he thought deeply about it.

He would definitely not remember it wrong. He must have seen such a doctrine before, but his memory was not deep. The next moment, he suddenly raised his brows and quickly took off the backpack on his back.

He remembered that his brother had given him two books at that time, namely "Political Lectures" and "Economic Theory", which were also known as miscellaneous books. After parting ways with his brother that day, he returned to where he was staying and browsed through them casually.

Then he threw it back into the basket and paid no attention to it.

After all, this is a miscellaneous book, and it is useless to read more.

"It is these two books that are miscellaneous books."

Cao Shen took out the two books and revealed the big words "Political Lectures" and "Economic Theory" on the cover.

Mr. Shen was very surprised when he saw this and asked: "Miscellaneous books, are you talking about the miscellaneous books that have been banned by the imperial edict of Dr. Shusun Tong?"

"Exactly. You must have seen it on the day of the imperial examination. It was in the hands of my brother Xiao He, and he later gave it to me as a gift."

"That's it!" Mr. Shen's eyes lit up. Since it was given by Xiao He, it must be this book.

"Can you sell these two books to me? I can pay a high price, one hundred and a half taels, no, one thousand, one thousand is enough." Mr. Shen requested eagerly, which showed his enthusiasm for the two books, and he quickly reached out and put in his hand.

Huai wants to pay.

Cao Shen looked deeply at Mr. Shen, but had no intention of selling him, and quickly hugged Er Shu into his arms.

If what happened here hadn't happened, he might have sold the two books. After all, they were of little value, but now that he knew it, how could he sell them? You must know that this is the magic book that can make your brother top the list in one fell swoop!

He, Xiao He, was not stupid yet, how could he sell it?

"I'm sorry, I won't sell it for any amount of money?" He flatly refused.

Mr. Shen had no choice but to sigh deeply and retreat to the next best thing.

"Can you lend it to me?"

The look in his eyes was so expectant that Cao Shen was moved by it, "Yes, but not for too long."

Then, Cao Shen handed over the two books, and Mr. Shen took them and read them carefully.

The next moment, he showed ecstasy. He could find all the contents in Xiao He's answer sheet here. Also, the weird questions in the imperial examination seemed to be related to these two books.

"This, this imperial examination question comes from these two books, no wonder!" Mr. Shen felt a little like crying. He asked why he was not shortlisted and was left far behind by Xiao He and Gao Fugui. It turned out that he did not have these two books.

Xiao He has a book. He knows that he must be rich and noble too!

Gao Fugui? Wait, something suddenly occurred to him. He closed the book suddenly and stared at the cover. The big words "Political Lecture" and "Economic Theory" were still eye-catching, but in Mr. Shen's eyes, they looked a little more...

Wail.

Yes, it was Wail. ​​He had seen these two books before, on Gao Fugui. When he was mocking Gao Fugui, he wanted to buy these two books, but Gao Fugui raised the price on the spot.

Gao Fugui said at the time that he wanted one hundred and a half taels. If he didn't sell it, it might cost him one thousand and a half taels. It would be too late to regret.

He also severely criticized Gao Fugui at that time.

At this moment, it seemed that he regretted it, no, he really regretted it.

No, he couldn't regret it, he still had a chance, it was only a thousand and a half taels, he had it, so he hurriedly returned the two books to Cao Shen, and hurried to Gaofu.

He wanted to buy the two books as soon as possible before everyone could react. Otherwise, he would never think about it again. These two books have been banned and cannot be seen in the market. Only high officials can get them.

.

On that day, Gao Qiu was selling at Yuelai Wine Shop. Many people must have seen it. If they found out, Gao Qiu would have to break down the door. If he didn't hurry up and ask for the book, he wouldn't even be able to see the book by then.

This is definitely not an empty mouth.

The imperial examination is the way for scholars to enter the dragon gate, and the imperial examination tests these two books. It is impossible for students not to go crazy.

He could imagine that within a day, these two books would become the most precious and rare thing in Xianyang.

now!

It can be said that the high house is full of guests.

Gao Qiu was originally hiding, but Chen You found him and forced him to entertain him.

Gao Qiu really wanted to wear a mask, especially when the guests cast strange and pitiful looks, he felt very embarrassed. In addition, Chen You made fun of him from time to time, which made him feel ashamed.

For a moment, he glared at his son fiercely. If his son hadn't made his own decision, would he be so embarrassed? The results have already been released! The slaves sent out to watch the results will be back soon!

"No, I can't lose face like this. I have to leave here as soon as possible." Gao Qiu thought to himself, thinking of a way.

If he came back from slavery and said in front of everyone that his son did not win the exam, all the face he had built up over the years would be lost.

"Brother Gao, where are you going?" Chen You seemed to know what Gao Qiu was going to do. Seeing Gao Qiu quietly turning around, he quickly stopped and said, "Now that the results have been released, it's time for the news to come back! Your son must be the winner."

It’s on the list! This is a happy event, and you should congratulate it with everyone.”

Congratulations on your head!

Gao Qiu really wanted to scold him, but he couldn't, so he quickly apologized and said, "Congratulations!"

Chen You held up his hand, his smile became more and more weird, and he whispered in Gao Qiu's ear: "Of course I want to congratulate you, but will your son win? Haha!"

"You?" Gao Qiu's face darkened, and he was about to turn around and leave, but he heard the voice of the slave who came to see Bang Slave.

"I'm back."

"Master, Master"
Chapter completed!
