Today's palace examination, the Supreme Palace set up the table early.

The emperor personally set the questions, and the candidates were all cheered up, hoping to get the emperor's attention and become the disciples of the emperor, and from then on, they soared into the sky.

How many people are eager to try, but when they see the question, they will be sad.

Last year, there was a heavy flood in the south and a severe drought in the north, grain production was reduced, and the people were in poverty.

There are still remnants of princes everywhere, and people are in panic. Not only that, the enemy troops in the north of Mobei repeatedly invaded the border, which is really in turmoil and internal and external troubles.

Fortunately, General Shen is guarding, and the enemy enemy is afraid to raise troops easily, but external troubles are not eliminated and internal troubles are difficult to relieve. It has been inseparable from topics for many years, such as water control, which is just a cliché.

The students have also made a lot of filings in response to this year's situation and thought of many ways to control water. In addition, they include diplomacy, taxes, military pay, and bandits...

Most of the palace examinations were current affairs, and the students were prepared for it, but this year was a little different. In addition to these, the emperor even asked about farming.

Ask if farming can save the country, strengthen the country, and strengthen the country? Is there any good strategy?

A group of scholars turned a blind eye to the things outside the window and focused on reading the books of sages. Even if there were people from poor families, they only knew the basics. This problem made everyone stumped.

If you want to talk about the previous question, it is naturally very easy to answer, but just ask if there is a good solution.

In fact, there are also methods. Such test questions have not appeared before, but everyone has just answered them in a regular way, and occasionally they can have some new ideas. It is too difficult to be outstanding, too difficult.

But unexpectedly, an article by Cui Yuanheng directly caused storm.

After reading his articles, several examiners in the hall couldn't sit still.

Mr. Qiu Hanlin was the first to attack, "This is simply nonsense."

"In previous years, there were candidates who didn't know how much rice is, or how many buckets of rice per mu yield, but this student Cui didn't know what it was."

The old Hanlin was so excited when he saw Cui Yuanheng's article, he was so out of control that he was so angry that his beard was trembling.

The Censor Liu, who was bearded, took Cui Yuanheng's article and frowned, "This---"

"Is this Cui Yuanheng wrongly shaking his hands?"

"Everyone knows that even if it is a high-quality land, the yield per mu is already high. It would be fine if he had a way to improve a few buckets, but he was so arrogant that he was hundreds of buckets?"

"This child is extremely arrogant."

The face of Yushi Liu was extremely ugly. Huiyuan, whom they promoted, was actually an arrogant person who spoke loudly without a headache. When they thought of this, they were so angry that they felt hurt.

Therefore, the two of them looked at Cui Shangshu who was drinking tea leisurely.

Suddenly, the old Shangshu was shocked by his colleagues' eyes.

"What is this?"

Other small officials looked at the papers with their eyes and nose, but their ears were all listening to the following text.

Censor Liu raised his eyebrows, while Qiu Hanlin was even more direct, and directly grabbed the test paper from Censor Liu and slapped it in front of Shangshu Cui, "You see, your good man from the Cui family, hum."

Cui Shangshu was a little stunned, but he hurriedly looked at it seriously. But the more he looked, the more he looked, the more he looked, the deeper his face became, and until he took a breath of cold air.

Qiu Hanlin gritted his teeth and said, "How do you think?"

"Hmph, I was actually blinded by him. This son, this son---"

That look of regret that the iron is not strong enough, Cui Shangshu was so nervous.

However, he still rubbed his beard and said, "I think this article is very wonderful, wonderful."

Qiu Hanlin widened his eyes, "That's all, it's amazing?"

"You, you, your Cui family doesn't have a good thing."

And Cui Shangshu was not happy, "The Seventh Prince's Concubine comes from my Cui family. Do you have any meaningful vision of the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine?"

"you---"

Cui Shangshu said calmly: "How about me?"

"Since my descendants dare to write, they must be meaningful."

The two examiners were stunned by the confident look. Censor Liu couldn't wait to say, "What do you mean?"

"Can't your Cui family really have this method?"

When a group of people stared at it, Cui Shangshu was also a little scared, cleared his throat and said, "This--"

As soon as he saw him like this, everyone understood in their hearts. Qiu Hanlin was so angry that he was blowing his beard, and Liu Jingshi even more absent, saying directly: "Shangshu Cui, no one can stand without trust, and he has written in black and white. I will report back to the emperor. If he can't tell the truth, he will be a deceiving king."

"This is a palace examination, not a place of shamelessness."

After saying that, he quickly turned around and left, and when Cui Shangshu saw this, he hurriedly said, "Hey, you, you wait a moment."

As a result, before he could catch up, Qiu Hanlin directly blocked his body, stared at his cow's eyes and said, "The palace examination has not yet ended, Cui Shangshu, you are playing with respect."

Cui Shangshu was so angry that he blew his beard, "You, hum--"

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and sat on the Taishi chair.

And Qiu Hanlin stared at him like this. It can be said that he had high expectations for Cui Yuanheng at the beginning, and he was so disappointed at this moment. He thought of the rumors outside during the spring examination.

If I hadn't chosen Cui Yuanheng, I still didn't know what I would have been excluded.

Afterwards, although he was resentful, fortunately Cui Yuanheng was indeed a talented person. Moreover, many people praised him for being upright and righteous, and as a gentleman who values ​​faith and righteousness.

But if Cui Yuanheng's palace examination work was published, his previous reputation would be destroyed. Not only that, he would also have a reputation that was unknown. At that time, he would not know how to arrange the gossip.

Old Hanlin has been honest all his life, so isn’t his reputation tainted?

In the imperial study, Emperor Jingde had just asked Eunuch Gui how the palace examination was in Taihe Hall, and someone hurried over there to report that Censor Liu met.

Emperor Jingde was stunned for a moment and looked at Eunuch Gui. Is the palace examination over so soon? He was puzzled in his heart, but he still recruited people.

The person whom the Eunuch Gui personally went to collect was stunned for a moment when he saw the anxious look on Liu Jingshi's face, and then hurriedly took the person in.

As a result, as soon as he entered the hall, Censor Liu kowtowed directly, "I pay homage to the Lord, long live the saint."

Emperor Jingde gave a big gift as soon as he came, and was a little confused, "Liu Aiqing, please get up quickly."

Censor Liu hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I dare not get up, I am guilty."

Emperor Jingde was even more puzzled, "What is Liu Aiqing's crime?"

Censor Liu told this matter in his original form. Emperor Jingde was stunned after hearing this, "What are you saying? Are you talking about it?"

"This son is so arrogant that he wrote that the yield per mu can exceed 400 stones. I have no face and am ashamed of the trust of the emperor. I actually recommended such a arrogant person as Huiyuan. I deserve ten thousand deaths."

Emperor Jingde was stunned on the dragon throne. After a while, he recovered and said with a serious expression: "Show the test papers to me."

"yes."

Censor Liu hurriedly presented it with both hands. Without waiting for Eunuch Gui to take action, Emperor Jingde directly reached out to take it, and then opened the file.

From a fixed eye, the handwriting is very good, and the words are like people when you see them, so Emperor Jingde likes them a little more.

"Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and people regard food as the most important thing. If the granary is full, the country will be strong, the people will be safe, and the mountains and rivers will be strong forever..."
