After Mo Jin was secretly arranged, Yuan Xi's eyes gathered at Juxian Hall again. Tomorrow is the time for the assessment. In order not to happen, Yuan Xi specially called Lu Yu, the county magistrate of Ji County.

"Tomorrow may be very lively, and the people may be curious. If someone sneaks in, you don't need to deal with it strictly if you catch it. A little punishment is enough. It is a big joy, don't make people panic," Yuan Xi reminded.

"Don't worry, Master, Yu has already instructed the guards' yamen runners and soldiers," Lu Yu replied.

"That's good," Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Are you feeling wronged as a county magistrate?"

"No, Yu knows that this is what the marquis values ​​me." Lu Yu shook his head and said, "How can the Ji County Magistrate compare with other places? It must be someone that Yuan Xi absolutely believes in.

"Haha, I feel so relieved that you can think so. You are calm, fair and generous. The only thing you lack is a little experience. You need to use more snacks, especially the school. Xi has a plan in his mind, but there is no such condition yet. When the time is ripe, you will be responsible. You must be independent of the Secret Affairs Pavilion, the Government Affairs Pavilion, and the Military Department. You must be mentally prepared." Yuan Xi was a little serious.

"Mr. Xie values ​​it, Yu Ding lives up to his expectations." A hint of excitement flashed across Lu Yu's face. He controlled one alone, which was really what he pursued.

"Okay" Yuan Xi nodded with a smile.

On the second day, the weather was beautiful and the warm sun was hanging high. The assessment of Juxian Pavilion officially began. The people of Ji County headed towards Juxian Pavilion one after another. There was a sea of ​​people, and soldiers and yamen were guarding the surroundings. After a huge gong, the four rows of scholars, civil and military craftsmen came to the square of Juxian in an orderly manner. They held their heads and chests, looking at the majestic and magnificent halls above, and a hint of excitement flashed in their eyes.

Among them, the gentry stood in the center with a proud look on their faces. The gentry did not share the same seats with the people. They had a natural sense of pride for poor students. Even if they were smarter and capable than them, it was the same. Their participation in the assessment was just a face-saving project. In fact, the family had already contacted the governor's office. Although it was a bit unfair, the gentry was indeed the foundation of Yuan Xi's current stability and great cause. Although Yuan Xi cherished poor students, he must also distinguish between the importance.

Xu Shu, standing in a row of poor students, looked at the gentry beside him. Instead of being hostile to other students, he nodded with appreciation. More than 50% of the wealth in the world is in the hands of the gentry. Without their support, it would be difficult for any prince to succeed.

After waiting for a while, Liu Fang, the Gongcao of the Government Affairs Hall, came to a flat ground on the steps ahead. Looking at the more than 90 reference personnel in front of him and the people watching nearby, he said with a solemn expression: "Juxian Pavilion is a manifestation of the Marquis' love for talent. You must not let down this kind of kindness. This assessment is absolutely fair and just, and the gentry is not another. Although you have noble identities, the arrangements of the Marquis must also be implemented. If any gentry is not convinced by the management, the marquis is qualified, capable, and prestige. Eliminate your gentry's identity and demote you to a civilian."

The dozen or so men who came to participate suddenly shrank their pupils, but their faces were not dissatisfied, but they were a little more cautious. If they were other princes, they might even look down on them, but who was Yuan Xi? After the fourth generation and the third generation, the leader of the gentry in the world and the son of the general Yuan Shao, his honor is only under the emperor, and far from being comparable to them.

"The results of this competition, except for the gentry, the top three other reference scores will be directly sent to the counties in Youzhou. However, remember that if someone cheats and impersonates him, once it is found out, he will be severely punished."

"promise!"

"Okay, now we will enter the hall. The gentry will be the first, and then the three types of civil and military craftsmen will enter the hall separately," Liu Fang announced loudly.

The people from the Central Aristocratic people immediately stepped towards the Wen Hall, and then the others followed closely.

"Shi Yuan" Gan Ning waved his fist heavily and proudly headed towards the Martial Palace.

Xu Shu smiled, walked slowly up the steps, and walked calmly towards the top. After entering the Wen Hall, two middle-aged men in official uniforms stood on a high platform. Although they were of different momentum, they all had the majesty of power.

"Meet the military advisor, don't go," the aristocrat shouted quickly, and other poor students were shocked. These two were the highest civil and military officials in Youzhou, and they hurriedly followed them to salute.

Li Ru smiled gently, "No need to be polite, everyone should take the exam, the assessment will begin soon."

"promise!"

Everyone began to look for their own seats. Of course, the gentry was in the first row. Er Xu Shu found his seat in the center of the second row. After seeing him sitting down, Han Yan and Li Ru's eyes flashed. Looking at each other's temperament and appearance, he nodded with satisfaction.

"The assessment time is one stick of incense, the test questions have been placed on it. Everyone is ready and you can start." Han Yan waved his hand gently, and a soldier brought an incense burner.

Xu Shu slowly opened the bamboo slip in front of him, and only three words appeared on it.

"On the Youjun"

The topic seems very simple, but in fact it also contains infinite, which contains understanding of current affairs, political situation, and all aspects of the army. Many students frowned when they saw it, and they didn't know which aspect to start.

Xu Shu's eyes also condensed for a moment, but soon a sense of arrogance emanated from him and he slowly picked up the pen next to him.

After Li Ru saw it, he raised his eyebrows and a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes. After reaching out his hand slightly, among the scholars who were evaluating, Li Ru gradually came to Xu Shu and looked up curiously.

"Catch Wuhuan, plan for the north, all the Yao troops, calculate the tuition, and promote military garrisons"

The outline of the fifteen-character character was imprinted into Li Ru's eyes, making a trace of surprise flash across his face, and his steps could not move. Xu Shu seemed to have completely sunk into it at this time, and did not notice Li Ru beside him. After half a stick of incense was passed, Xu Shu relaxed for a moment, a trace of satisfaction flashed across his face, and gently put down the pen in his hand.

Li Ru, who had been watching all the time, clenched her fists slightly, suppressed the excitement and appreciation on her face, and said gently: "Have you finished writing?"

Xu Shu was shocked and looked at Li Ru who came to the back, and quickly stood up and clasped his fists and said, "It's finished."

Li Ru personally put away Xu Shu's test paper and said softly: "Since that's the case, go to the inner palace to rest and wait for the result."

"No!" Xu Shu gave a bow and walked out calmly under the leadership of a soldier. At this time, several scholars had finished writing.

Han Yan walked slowly to Li Ru and whispered: "How is it?"

Li Ru quietly pulled Han Yan aside and said seriously: "Xu Shu is a stunning talent. Liang wants to meet the marquis immediately and hand over this test paper."

Han Yan was shocked, but he nodded quickly, "I'll leave it to Yan."
