"it is good!"

"This kid is a talent!"

In just a few words, the stakes are clearly analyzed.

Without any bells and whistles.

Li Xiu glanced at the end of the article and signed it as Cao Shuang.

"This article is so well written, why is it ranked so low?"

Li Xiu looked at the Minister of Rites and the others with a displeased expression.

This group of people almost buried the top talent!

Minister of Rites and others were so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground and said with an ugly face: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers and others are burying talents, but that Cao Shuang's behavior is not good. According to the elders in his village, this son is young. Then I had inappropriate communication with several widows in the village..."

"I am?!"

In Li Xiu's mind, three sixes instantly appeared.

Is this Cao Mengde's behavior!

He even wondered for a while, is this Cao Shuang a direct descendant of Cao Cao?

"Your Majesty, although talent is given priority in the selection of Jinshi, but Cao Shuang's character is so bad, if he is designated as the number one scholar, I am afraid it will cause criticism from all over the world..."

The Minister of Rites spoke earnestly.

Morality is so important to scholars.

It was already a miracle that Cao Shuang was able to take the imperial examination.

Now, if he is hand-picked as the number one scholar, wouldn't it be a shame for scholars all over the world?

"Although this Cao Shuang's character is not good, his talent is undeniable. The number one scholar must belong to him."

Li Xiu just pondered for a while, and then said: "Let's do it!"

"Immediately order Cao Shuang to bring all the widows in his village into the house by the right marriages. In this way, Cao Shuang will become a responsible and good man, and his moral problems will be easily solved?"

After finishing speaking, even Li Xiu nodded her head, admiring her wit.

Cao Shuang, Cao Shuang, thank you for your kindness!

"This……"

The Minister of Rites and several scholars were speechless.

look at each other.

Can this work?

……

Outside Jixian Hall.

More than 300 tributes were waiting outside the hall, waiting for the results of the palace examination.

Those of them who can participate in the palace examination mean that the vast majority of them can become Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty and have a bright future.

But they still want to go one step further, get a higher ranking and a bigger future.

Especially those three who ranked first, No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-].

Any one of them will be a glorious ancestor and an existence whose name will remain in history.

"Guess everyone, who will be the No. [-] candidate in this palace examination?"

A Gong Shi was in a panic and asked.

"That must be Liu Qingzhi, Brother Liu!"

"Brother Liu is the number one talented scholar in the Central Plains. He has a prominent family background and outstanding literary talent. He has already become famous all over the world before taking the imperial examination. If this number one scholar is not him, who could it be?"

"You're right, Brother Liu, then I'll congratulate you in advance!"

"That's right, brother Liu, the number one scholar in high school, this is a great honor, especially for a holy master like His Majesty, the hand-picked number one candidate, if he performs well, he will definitely become a famous minister of our Tang Dynasty!"

Liu Qingzhi quickly waved his hands, "The result hasn't come out yet, so don't you guys want to flatter and kill Liu."

Liu Qingzhi evaded it on the surface, but actually it was very useful in his heart. He also felt that the position of the number one scholar should not escape his palm.

In the article, he advised His Majesty to manage the Central Plains well and give up the territorial idea of ​​the surrounding alien races.

In his opinion, this is the best strategy for the Tang court.

They are the land of Huaxia in the Central Plains, which is rich in products and has everything.

The land of alien races is of no use to the Central Plains dynasty at all, so why bother to conquer it so much?

It's better to spend your mind on internal affairs, reclaim more farmland, and collect more taxes, all of which are far more valuable than conquering foreign lands.

If it were any emperor of the dynasty, he would adopt his opinion, not to mention the wise and powerful, wise-eyed holy majesty today?

At this moment, the Minister of Rites and several Jixian Hall scholars came out.

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites and all the scholars have come out!"

All the tributes outside Jixian Hall, their eyes lit up immediately, and hurriedly bowed to the Minister of Rites and others.

All the tributes were extremely excited.

The Minister of Rites just glanced at everyone, "His Majesty's will, the results of this palace examination have been released."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the imperial decree in his hand, and said loudly: "Wang Xiu and Fan Bin, the article hits the mark of the times, and I quite like it. I am ordered to be the second place and the best!"

In the crowd, both Wang Xiu and Fan Bin showed ecstasy.

Obviously, they did not expect that the two of them would be able to win the second place and third place respectively.

All the tributes were also surprised that both Wang Xiu and Fan Bin came from Bailu Academy.

Unexpectedly, among the top three, Bailu Academy actually occupied two of them.

However, although Liu Qingzhi was surprised, he didn't think too much about it. The second place in the list was rare for him, and the only place that caught his eye was the number one!

Under the champion, there are all floating clouds!

In Liu Qingzhi's eyes, a strong confidence appeared.

However, the eyes of the Minister of Rites did not stay on him, but fell on a person in the corner, and said loudly: "Cao Shuang has the talent to rule the world and rule the world, and he is ordered to be the number one scholar!"

After the words fell, there was a sudden silence in the arena!

The No. [-] candidate is actually Cao Shuang?

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cao Shuang, who was still in the corner and no one cared about him, immediately strode forward to give thanks.

Not far away, Liu Qingzhi suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a bolt from the blue.

"How could it be Cao Shuang? That wife Cao who specializes in stealing widows?"

Liu Qingzhi only felt a deep sense of absurdity in his heart.

Such a person can also be the champion?

Become the idol of scholars all over the world?

Are you kidding me?

"Master Shangshu, did you make a mistake?"

Liu Qingzhi still did not give up.

"This is appointed by His Majesty, how can it be wrong?"

The Minister of Rites glanced at him, "Liu Qingzhi, Your Majesty has also read your article."

"Your Majesty listed your article in No. 60 of the second class."

"Second Armor No.60 Six?"

Liu Qingzhi's brain suddenly buzzed.

Chapter 67 The Tang Dynasty's World Strategy

Second Armor No.60 Six.

Isn't that the countdown?

Liu Qingzhi, the number one talent in the Central Plains, doesn't matter if he doesn't become the number one scholar, but he actually ranks 66th on the top two list?

If it was another emperor, he would scold the dog emperor, he doesn't know what to do!

But Liu Qingzhi firmly believes in His Majesty today!

Even if he is the number one talented person in the Central Plains, he is still not as good as His Majesty.

There must be something wrong with his own writing!

At this moment, Liu Qingzhi had deep self-doubt.

"Brother Cao, congratulations!"

"Brother Cao, we were at the same table just now, don't you forget?"

For a while, Cao Shuang instantly became a celebrity among these tributes, and attracted the fawning of many people.

Even if the champion of the new department is not entrusted with important responsibilities in the court, he will be sent to the local area as a parent official. In short, there is a high probability that he will become a pillar of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

If you don't flatter now, you will have no chance in the future.

However, before Cao Shuang had time to deal with these people, he saw Minister of Rites walking towards him.

"Master Shangshu."

Cao Shuang looked respectful and beaming.

Unexpectedly, the Minister of Rites just glanced at him, and then said coldly: "Cao Shuang, Your Majesty knows that you have several confidante friends in the village, and hereby grants you a decree to marry them all in as wives and concubines!"

"Ah? This..."

Cao Shuang's face suddenly pulled down, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.

He has already won the first prize in high school, but he still can't get rid of those big sisters in the village?

……

The next day.

On the Golden Palace.

Apart from the civil and military officials, there are three new faces in the court.

They are the top three in the imperial examination.

The number one scholar Cao Shuang.

Second place Wang Xiu.

Explore Fan Bin.

These three people, because they were among the top three in the palace examination, were awarded the false title of seventh rank, and they could enter the court to participate in government affairs.

However, for the top three candidates selected by Li Xiu this time, the officials were obviously quite critical in their hearts.

Wang Xiu and Fan Bin didn't care about it. No. 1 Cao Shuang has such a bad reputation. His Majesty actually selected him as the champion, which made them a little ashamed to be in the same rank with this person.

"Today's court meeting, dear friends, please read an article first."

Li Xiu waved his hand.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites ordered people to send articles one by one to the officials.

Wait for the ministers to read the article.

Li Xiu just asked, "What do you think about this article?"

Minister of the Ministry of War nodded, and praised directly: "This article is eloquent and eloquent. It lists Tubo as the number one enemy of our Tang Dynasty. It is indeed insightful."

"The author of this article has amazing talents."

"I don't know who has such talents?"
