The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 58 Judgment
The weather is still cold now. February has just passed. Although the weather has warmed up a bit, it is still cold in the early days of spring.

The children of the aristocratic families who answered the question outside were all very cold. Although there was a stove burning wood next to them, how could this temperature compete with the whole nature.

He could only endure the cold, "These children from aristocratic families may have talents, but their endurance is indeed not as good as those from poor families." Wang Xu said looking at the children outside who were scratching their heads.In the cold wind, they began to feel a little irritable, and even asked others to prepare quilts, stoves, etc. for them.
"They were spoiled and spoiled. I haven't experienced any strong wind and rain. Answering the questions in the courtyard is the first test I gave them." Chen Fan asked them to take the exam in the courtyard after he discussed with several aristocratic families. As a result, in this world, you can fight against anyone, but you cannot fight against the sky.

This is also to let these children of aristocratic families with higher hearts than the sky accept their authority. If they can still write beautiful articles under this environment, then they are real talents.

"Those people are really nice." Wang Xu looked at Wang Meng and the others, although their hands were trembling from the cold, and their faces were pale, but the expressions on their faces remained unchanged, they were always calm.

"Now, in fact, we can roughly tell who they are." Chen Fan took a look and knew who might become a member of the inner courtyard. Their expressions already said everything.

If you are cursing, you don't have to think about it. It must be because you lack talent, your character is not enough, you have pain on your face, and you don't persevere in difficult things. These have already caused most people to fail.

"Indeed." Wang Xu also knew this truth, looking at the people outside, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Do you know about Wei Zhongxian?" Chen Fan and Wang Xu chatted about other things.

"I know, your Majesty told me about this kind of thing." Wang Xu did not hide it. Liu Hong told him the day after he dealt with Dou Wu and Cao Jie that he was going to install a eunuch.

Wang Xu also felt that there was no problem. The Eastern Han Dynasty was a situation where eunuchs and aristocratic families controlled each other. If the eunuch died, it would be really bad for the aristocratic family to dominate.And now there is one more royal family, and the three strengths are competing for each other, so Liu Hong is safe.

"Wei Zhongxian is not a simple thing. He has integrated so much power in more than half a month." Chen Fan knew Wei Zhongxian's recent actions and frequently gave up some officials who had done no evil to let the family occupy that position.

But those positions are dispensable. The family seems to be making a lot of money, but in fact it is basically nothing. Now that Wei Zhongxian has gathered the core strength, it is impossible to move at all.

When Wei Zhongxian was at his weakest, the aristocratic families robbed each other for petty gains. Fortunately, Wei Zhongxian has become popular now. Unless Liu Hong himself does it himself, no one can touch him.

But Wei Zhongxian was promoted by Liu Hong. He can be said to be Liu Hong's staunch supporter. Is it possible for Liu Hong to cut off his own arm?This is absolutely impossible.

"Your Majesty is very good at judging people." Wang Xu said, Zhu Yuanzhang and other members of the inner court are not talents. Su Bin is an economic genius. How much money can he give Liu Hong every month.

Fan Li, Liu Hong gave him all the contacts with the family at the beginning. He was Liu Hong's biggest reliance when he first entered Luoyang. Now Liu Hong has established a relationship with the family, but Fan Li's arrangement is that Liu Hong let him enter the inner courtyard.

Of the four quotas held by Liu Hong, one was directly given to Fan Li.It can be seen that Fan Li is important to Liu Hong.

Liu Qi, Wang Chuan, Wang De, and Zou Xin may not be as dazzling as others, but these people are also talents.

"I believe this. Guess how long it will take for someone to hand in the paper." Chen Fan looked at those who could no longer sit still and said to Chen Fan with a smile.

"One hour, I'm afraid it will be taught by those who know that they will never pass." Wang Xu said.

"Report, Lord Wang is here." A servant came over and reported to Chen Fan.

"Wang Chang is here, come, you two brothers," Chen Fan said to Wang Xu.Chen Fan told the servant to go out to meet Wang Chang.

"Mr. Chen."

"Maharaja"

"Big brother" three people said hello.

"Here we come," Wang Chang said to Wang Xu.The relationship between the two of them is good. If it wasn't because of Wang Chang, maybe Wang Xu would have died in the Wang family, and the two of them would have exchanged letters afterwards, which is also a good relationship between the two.

"Well, come and sit." Chen Fan said to the two people. "The prince's son is really talented. Among so many people, there are only a few who don't change their expressions." Chen Fan said to Wang Chang.

"What talent? It's nothing more than mediocre." Wang Chang said modestly.

"If there are no major changes in the inner court, there is basically no problem," Wang Xu said, "It's just that this inner court is full of perverts, and I don't know where His Majesty found these people."

"Where is the abnormality?" Wang Chang didn't understand these members of the inner court, after all, he had never seen them like this before.

"Well, if the entire court officials die and the inner court does not die, the world can be managed in an orderly manner." Wang Xu said.

"So? That's pretty awesome." Wang Chang said. He knew Wang Xu's younger brother and would never tell lies. If he said yes, then it would be okay.

"Okay, someone is going to hand in the paper." Chen Fan said to the two people, and finally the first person couldn't help it.

"This is the third son of the Lin family. It's a pity that he usually has a good reputation." Chen Fan said.

"After the first one, there will be countless others. Just watch." Wang Xu said.Sure enough, more than 40 people have left one after another.

"If the first person to leave, I admire his courage, the rest of the people who left are people who have no opinions of their own." Wang Chang said.

"Hahaha, that's true." After a while, about dozens of people left, and now there are only a dozen people in the entire yard.

Wang Meng, Yuan Chonghuan, Guo Ziyi, Lu Shang, and Liu Bowen are all here.

"Sure enough, he is a talent." Seeing that Lu Shang was still here, Wang Meng thought to himself.Lu Shang is still writing something on the paper, presumably he has not finished writing.

It was probably almost three hours, and several people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and handed in their papers.Next, a special person is in charge of messing up the sorting. Everyone doesn't know where their papers are, let alone Chen Fan and the others. At this time, more than a dozen people who judge papers also come here and walk towards a room. .

They are all great Confucian scholars today. In this way, excellent articles can be seen at a glance, but Chen Fan's are still the main ones.Wang Xu was the assistant, and the others were just offering opinions.
