Chapter 448: When the examination paper is being marked
Chapter 448: Test paper review in progress
Even though they were very unhappy in the face of Deng Sheng's request, they also knew the purpose of Deng Sheng's doing this, and Deng Sheng's attitude was so determined that they could only choose to agree. However, as Jiang Wan said, twenty outstanding people may not be able to be found among the poor families.
After everyone reached a consensus, the review of the test papers began to proceed in an orderly manner. Three hundred people were selected from more than 600 test papers. It was generally not particularly difficult. In addition, the people here were all talented people at the top of Deng State, which was just a piece of cake for them.
"Hey! Please read this test paper is interesting!" While everyone was busy, Kou Zhun, the Minister of Personnel, exclaimed. After everyone heard it, they quickly gathered together and read the test paper in Kou Zhun's hand!
"The current dispute today depends on the three kingdoms of Deng, Zhao and Qin. The most important thing is the Qin State. The Qin people are weak and there is no possibility of unification. However, if the Qin people do not want to sit and wait for death, they can only unite with the weak to fight against the strong. Zhao Qiang will join Deng, Deng Qiang will join Zhao. But I, the Great Deng, want to realize the grand aspiration of unification of the world. I, the Great Deng, need to alienate Qin and Zhao, and deepen their hatred. There is no possibility of unification. I, the Great Deng, can defeat one by one!" I, the Great Deng, read the content of the middle school entrance examination paper by Brigadier Kou.
After hearing this, everyone nodded with satisfaction. This candidate was of some level. With the strength of Qin, there was no possibility of unifying the world. Many people knew that only the winners between Deng and Zhao could achieve unification. Therefore, many people believed that whether the world could be unified depends on Deng and Zhao. Qin could only play a role in a messing stick. As for Chu, they did not even have the qualifications to be a messing stick. Of course, everyone's eyes would turn to Deng and Zhao.
But what they didn't know was that despite the defeat of the Central Plains of Zhao and the civil strife, the famous officials and generals in the country suffered heavy losses, the lean camel was bigger than the horse. Although Deng State had completed a counterattack and successfully replaced Zhao State and became the world's largest country, in terms of strength, it was just a match for Zhao State. When no one could do anything between Deng and Zhao, the Qin State next to him seemed crucial.
"Who is this person? He has such insight?" Jiang Wan said in surprise. He didn't expect that he could catch a big fish in this imperial examination. Jiang Wan couldn't wait to know who this person was.
Kou Zhun looked at the signature, then smiled and said, "This person's name is Cheng Xu. If I remember correctly, he should be Cheng Yu, the general of the Military Affairs Office, and the eldest grandson of the eldest son of Mr. Cheng!" He revealed Cheng Xu's identity in one sentence, three generations of officials, Deng Shengqian's official deputies, and the eldest grandson of the military affairs officer, Cheng Yu, the general of the Military Affairs Office. This identity is not low. Moreover, unlike the background of poor families and noble families, although Cheng Yu is a literati, strictly speaking, the Cheng family should belong to the military. Although it is not a general, Cheng Yu's prestige in the army is not inferior to others at all, especially in the Longwu Guard. Among the Deng army, only Yue Fei, Chang Yuchun and Yang Yanzhao can defeat Cheng Yu.
"So it's Mr. Cheng's eldest grandson. That's a wonder. He can have such insights at a young age. It seems that Mr. Cheng has no energy to cultivate this eldest grandson!" After Zhang Bin knew Cheng Xu's identity, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Why don't you know if Cheng Xu is selected?" Hu Weiyong, the Minister of Revenue, asked, "It doesn't matter who Cheng Xu is, whose son and whose grandson is. What's important is whether he can pass the Beijing exam, enter the list of 300 people, and participate in the palace exam."
"If such talents are not selected, I really don't know which one here is qualified to enter Jingyang Palace!" Cui Hao said with a smile. Cheng Xu had such insights at a young age, and it was really extraordinary. If such a person cannot be selected, will others still be qualified to be selected?
Jiang Wan nodded and said, "Yes, such a person is the future of Da Deng. If we remove Cheng Xu, it will be difficult for the king to explain. Moreover, if Mr. Cheng knows that we will remove his outstanding grandson, we will definitely not give up. In the future, one of us will not be able to take care of it!"
Everyone nodded and said yes. Hu Weiyong asked so casually. Even if he was given ten thousand courage, he would not dare to remove Cheng Yu's grandson. After all, in terms of status, qualifications and position in Deng Sheng's heart, Cheng Yu is an out of reach. Moreover, Cheng Xu is still an outstanding and very outstanding existence. How dare Hu Weiyong do this?
After eight days of review, the list of 300 people who were finally able to enter Jingyang Palace to participate in the palace examination. Deng Sheng personally evaluated was finally confirmed. Most of the students were children of noble families, and the number of children selected by poor families was 20. This result made the people who participated in the review breath and finally did it.
The next day, the day before the results were announced, Zhang Bin brought the 300-person list of people who passed the Beijing Examination and entered the palace examination to meet Deng Sheng.
In Ganyang Palace, Zhang Bin said to Deng Sheng: "Report to the king, after reviewing for several days, I have selected 300 people who entered Jingyang Palace to participate in the palace examination from 613 test papers. The list is here. Please check it out!" After that, he handed the list to Deng Sheng's eunuch Gui Xiang. After Gui Xiang took it, he handed it to Deng Sheng.
After taking the list from Gui Xiang, Deng Sheng opened it and saw that there were exactly 300 people, some of which were familiar to Deng Sheng. Among them were Cheng Yu's eldest grandson Cheng Xu, Hu Weiyong's son Hu Mingqing, Chen Qun's son Chen Ding, Jiang Wan's youngest son Jiang Liang, Cui Hao's second son Cui An, Bao Zheng's son Bao Wending, and Queen Cai Yan, the son of Queen Cai Yan, and Cai Yan, the son of Jingbei Province. These are the second generation figures of Deng State. Cheng Xu can be said to be three generations, but Cheng Yu is older and his son is only a few years younger than Jiang Wan, so his grandson is just the same age as the sons of Jiang Wan.
Looking at this list, Deng Sheng nodded and asked Zhang Bin: "Zhang Qing, I wonder how many poor children are there in this list?" Except for a few second generations, no one else has heard of the names, so from the list alone, Deng Sheng had no way of knowing how many poor children there were.
