After receiving the etiquette of the students, the old emperor also glanced at everyone present. After seeing Xu Jie in the back row of the side, the old emperor actually smiled slightly, nodded, and then said: "Today's question is just the word "official". Please answer the questions."

How can an official become an official? The title is really simple. The three or five hundred words are just about how to be loyal to the emperor and how to love the people.

Many people write quickly, from the saints of Confucius and Mencius to Dong Zhongshu, the king, the king, the parents and teachers, who teach our ancestors, their own understanding, and what kind of thoughts and ideas should they be officials in the future.

Xu Jie also answered, but did not answer the official, but instead answered the "people". How do you serve the people and how do you serve the people? The people's hearts are not in the king's wise and wise...

What the people want is only what the officials think, and the difficulty of administration is the court.

Xu Jie was naturally trying to please, not talking about sages, not talking about himself, nor showing loyalty. Xu Jie analyzed the relationship between the county magistrates, officials, and the country. Xu Jie was talking about the reason why the emperor asked such a test question, and Xu Jie was talking about what the old emperor thought.

Not long after, the test papers were collected. The old emperor was still slowly marking the papers while coughing. The ministers on both sides accompanied the emperor to read, helped the emperor to read, and made annotations for the emperor. They were very busy.

Many students, including Xu Jie, arrived outside the hall and waited respectfully.

Until the afternoon, the hall started to call the name and enter. Xu Jie didn't need anyone else, but he could hear a few words in the hall. The emperor was asking, and the candidate was nervous and his words were trembling.

Xu Jie turned around from time to time to look at Liang Boyong in the distance. Liang Boyong was already sweating and looked uneasy. Liang Boyong had passed the exam this year, but today, Liang Boyong did not dare to say a word since he arrived at the gate of the imperial city, and he did not dare to talk to Xu Jie. The two stood not far from each other, but they did not have a single conversation.

It was a pity, but unfortunately Ouyang Wenfeng was really famous. Xu Jie had communicated with him some questions about answering questions and knew that Ouyang Wenfeng was difficult to pass the exam. Ouyang Wenfeng answered in a proper manner and had some outstanding features.

But Ouyang Wenfeng really didn't answer the strategy. Even people like Ouyang Wenfeng who are well-educated cannot answer the strategy. You can imagine how difficult it is for those poor children. It is so difficult to talk about the topics of this era when news is blocked.

How difficult is it to be a gold list?

"Xu Jie and Xu Wenyuan of Xuandajiang County entered the palace!" The eunuch's voice was always a little harsh.

Xu Jie stepped into the hall. There were many people in the hall, and there were also several grand scholars of the hall, pavilion, and academy. The most important one was the Hanlin Academy. The Hanlin Academy was full of talented people and was the only way for most senior officials. The senior officials of the three provinces and six ministries in the court had experience working in the Hanlin Academy. If a person who passed the Jinshi could be transferred to the Hanlin Academy to be an official, no matter the seventh or eighth rank, it was the best place to go.

The Hanlin Academy also has the role of an emperor's think tank, and it is no problem to give advice on national affairs.

The Hanlin Academy's Grand Secretary sometimes serves as one of several couples, and sometimes they are appointed separately, as the responsibility of being the head of the national think tank. It is also the place where the country reserves talents.

Today, the Hanlin Academy's Grand Secretary, whose surname is Cui, his name is Ran, and his courtesy name is Xinshou. "Ran" means "Xinshou". He is a famous scholar and scholar in the capital. Cui Ran, a great scholar in the Hanlin Academy, is a so-called great intellectual and a famous conservative ethics. This is also the reason why he was able to become a Hanlin Academy's Grand Secretary.

The Hanlin Academy has a bit of a party school meaning, and educates the reserve talents in the Hanlin Academy to be loyal to the emperor and love the people, and to work diligently... After all, one thing is to have faith! The faith of serving the country and the people.

A huge empire, a unified empire, and its prosperity for hundreds of years depends on these systems, the cultivation of talents, and the firmness of faith. These are the foundations of national rule and the foundations for maintaining the failure to collapse for hundreds of years.

The old emperor, who was already a little tired, saw Xu Jie coming in and smiled. Xu Jie greeted him one by one, and there were also acquaintances among them, without the Minister of Justice Ouyang Zheng, but also the Censor of Taichung Xie Fang.

Xu Jie was not nervous. The old emperor smiled and said, "You guys, I intend to point Xu Wenyuan as the top scholar in Dajiang. How about it?"

Xu Jie did not expect this and was also happy. Xu Jie naturally liked the title of top scholar. Not only Xu Jie was famous all over the world, but perhaps he could make the old lady in the family live a few more years when she was happy.

But unexpectedly, someone suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, Xu Wenyuan's talent and reputation are a little heard. However, I have read the test papers of Xu Wenyuan's examination. It is already a lucky draw for the high school entrance examination. If you give the top scorer again, it would be unfair and I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public."

The person who spoke was Cui Ran, a great scholar of the Hanlin Academy who had never met before, Xu Jie had seen before.

As soon as Cui Ran said, someone said again: "Your Majesty, I think it's really inappropriate for the top scholar, so please think twice."

The person who spoke again was the head of the minister, the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe Zhu Tingchang, and the person Xu Jie had never seen before.

The old emperor looked around and saw that no one was talking to Xu Jie, and even Xie Fang kept silent, he had to say, "What about taking the second-level Tanhua?"

Xu Jie thought that he had come in to listen to the old emperor's advice on some suggestions, because others came in this way and did not talk about rankings. He didn't want to arrange rankings for Xu Jie as soon as he came in. Xu Jie himself did not expect that. At this time, there was no room for Xu Jie to speak, so he could only stand and wait for these husbands to decide.

As soon as the old emperor said, Cui Ran replied again: "Your Majesty thinks twice. Xu Wenyuan is a partial talent and has a good strategy, but he neglects the words of sages and wins the Jinshi, which is really difficult to convince the public."

Cui Ran's words mean that Xu Jie has talent, but morality remains to be discussed.

Xu Jie was unhappy when he heard this. He looked up at Cui Ran. Although he didn't know the identity of this person, he also felt a sense of refutation in his heart.

Zhu Tingchang also echoed: "What Mr. Cui said is reasonable. The way to gain a scholar is to be virtuous and only those who are behind. Your Majesty should think twice."

Xu Jie didn't know how he offended these two old men, and the more he listened, the more he became unhappy. These big guys actually hinted in front of the emperor and himself that Xu Jie might be talented but not virtuous. Xu Jie also knew the basis for the definition of these two old masters. The basis was that Xu Jie always did not answer benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, but answered the meaning of the sutra as a strategy.

The old emperor coughed repeatedly and stopped and frowned and said, "Then how many times do you think Xu Wenyuan should take?"

Cui Ran said without hesitation: "The end of the three-legged family!"
