Chapter 63 A Genius with an IQ of 91 Was Discovered!
Outside Zhengyang Gate, the students were noisy.
Soon, Emperor Xiao Yunzhou, holding his precious princess, rode in a sedan chair and arrived at the gate of the palace.
The guards were divided into two rows and quickly surrounded the emperor in the middle.
They separated the distance between the students and the emperor.
"Back off, everyone back off!"
"Your Majesty is here, you are not allowed to come forward!"
The imperial guards were as if they were facing a great enemy, fearing that the students would rush up and startle the emperor.
However, no students came forward at all.
The students standing in the first three rows, as long as they had no vision problems, all stared at the first test paper posted on Zhengyang Gate in amazement.
Even when the emperor himself arrived at the door, they had no time to pay attention.
Because the answer on this paper was really shockingly bad!
It was so bad that they couldn't see it, and they thought they were blind and saw it wrong!
——Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Jiang Yixu.
In his early years, he was a Jinshi in the two lists. He defeated thousands of students in the imperial examination and stood out. He entered the Censorate directly and started as a censor.
He rose all the way to the position of deputy head of the Ministry of Personnel.
Such a person should not only be well-educated, but also be extremely familiar with the rules of being an official!
Because he does not understand the laws of the court and the rules of being an official, he cannot supervise all officials!
Not to mention going to the Ministry of Personnel to manage the promotion and demotion of all officials!
However, this Jiang Yixu, who they thought was a clear stream, wrote a total of ten questions on the answer sheet - the first two questions were about the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the preface was incoherent.
This can be said to be old and forgetful, and rarely read and review.
But the last eight questions, about the rules of officials in the Ministry of Personnel and the handling of people's livelihood, Jiang Yixu's answers were also shocking!
"What is considered misuse of the seal?"
Jiang Yixu's answer was blank and three drops of ink.
"If the seal is illegible and the official does not request a replacement in time, how will it be punished?"
This is still a multiple-choice question.
"One is demotion, two is a six-month salary fine, and three is a twelve-month salary fine."
Choose one of the three, Jiang Yixu got a big red cross!
He also chose the wrong one...
What a joke!
There were hundreds of protesting students.
Those standing in the front row were all silent at this moment.
Some of the more temperamental ones realized that they were completely fooled, "Fuck you! This stupid ass!"
The surrounding students blushed and had no face to look up when they heard this scolding.
They always thought that they supported a good official who spoke for the people!
A clean stream with character and talent, an official who will leave a good name in the torrent of history!
But they were wrong, wrong, all wrong!
They thought that if they supported Jiang Yixu, they would also win a good name and do something for the people.
But——
Fucking hell, it's all wrong!
Jiang Yixu is really a fool!
The students in front of Zhengyang Gate were lost and confused, as if struck by lightning, and found themselves standing in a swamp for the first time.
Were all their past insistences wrong?
Speaking up for Jiang Yixu and scolding the emperor, was this absurd, like a child crying and making trouble out of ignorance?
The students trembled slightly.
Xiao Yunzhou held Chuchu in his arms, and watched with great relief as the group of students changed their faces one after another.
How fiercely they scolded him just now, and now it all backfired!
Hahaha.
Cool!
"Reading the books of sages is to make you understand the truth, and not be easily blinded by anger and blindly driven by others."
Xiao Yunzhou sat on the sedan chair and said in a sonorous voice.
"I am not afraid of advice, but I want to hear advice that is meaningful!"
"I will punish those who try to take advantage of the situation!"
The students were shocked and looked at the test papers on Zhengyang Gate.
"So that's it! The emperor tests the officials based on their performance!"
"It's the students who have wronged the emperor!"
The students blushed and the brave ones admitted their mistakes in public.
Xiao Yunzhou nodded with satisfaction, not to mention how happy he was.
Thanks to my precious daughter~
Otherwise, he, the emperor, would not dare to scold anyone casually. Now, he has a legitimate reason!
Hahaha!
He looked down at the precious princess in his arms, fearing that she would be frightened by the students' riot, but he saw that Xiao Chuchu's face was flushed and her eyes were bright.
She was still very excited. She turned her head to look at Zhengyang Gate for a while, and then looked at the scholars with interest.
[Wow, my emperor father's move is really to cut off the fire from the bottom of the pot~]
[The assessment is not only about the ability to study, but also about the questions of being an official in daily life.]
[The officials who usually do things in a mess have shown their true colors today!]
Xiao Yunzhou couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Hearing his daughter's praise, he felt happy.
Of course he is not stupid.
He doesn't want the top scholar in the imperial examination, but someone who can do practical things!
"What's wrong? Brother Yuan, why are you all silent?"
"You are scared when you see the emperor coming, and you dare not make any suggestions?"
The students standing at the back were confused because they couldn't read the posted answer sheet carefully.
But soon, the candidates in the front row turned around with red faces and said, "Stop talking."
"Quiet--shut up."
Xiao Yunzhou laughed, not angry at all, and raised his hand to have the copies of the test papers copied by Jun distributed and passed to the back.
Officials from the Ministry of Personnel were tested on the rules of the Ministry of Personnel.
Officials from the Ministry of Works were tested on the knowledge of craftsmen and servants...
The entire Zhengyang Gate was soon shocked, inhaled, and fell silent.
What they support is not human!
It's dog shit!
"In the past, some ministers appointed by the court were not good talents. From today on, I will slowly eliminate them and clean up the entire court!"
Xiao Yunzhou spoke loudly.
"I will open a special examination after the new year. I hope that those who are capable in the world will come and try."
"I am willing to create a prosperous era with truly talented and virtuous people!"
Xiao Yunzhou spoke in a sonorous voice, and the hundreds of students in front of Zhengyang Gate all blushed, and soon their eyes turned red.
"Students are ashamed!"
"Students are willing to serve the emperor and Jingguo!"
The students were moved.
This was their first time talking to the emperor!
It was also the first time they saw that the upright and remonstrant ministers they once supported were so incompetent!
For the first time, they felt that the emperor of Jingguo was not as stupid and indifferent to state affairs as they thought!
[Aww, I saw several people with intelligence above 80. God, the second one on the left in the third row, the one in brown clothes and patched clothes, has an intelligence of 91! ]
Xiao Chuchu also blushed with excitement.
She didn't know how to govern the country.
But it's a good thing to let more outstanding people enter the court.
She understood this simple truth.
[This person can't be missed. ]
Xiao Chuchu squeaked and twisted anxiously in Xiao Yunzhou's arms.
Xiao Yunzhou listened, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the person his daughter was talking about, and was surprised at first sight.
I saw that the second student from the left in the third row, with an IQ of 91, had a black birthmark on the left corner of his face.
Xiao Yunzhou was stunned.
Normally, the Ministry of Personnel would not appoint officials with such a damaged appearance.
After all, officials are the face of the court. Some important officials will have to negotiate with neighboring countries in the future.
But Xiao Yunzhou hesitated for a while and nodded casually to the student with the birthmark.
"Next year, I'll wait for you."
Appearance cannot save the country from danger!
At the critical moment, talent is still needed.
Xiao Yunzhou hugged Chuchu and smiled at the student with the birthmark with a pleasant face.
Zheng Qiru, a poor student standing in the third row, subconsciously pursed his lips and closed his eyes in pain when he saw the emperor looking at him.
He knew that he was ugly, and even if he was proficient in writing, he would be dismissed from the palace examination because of his appearance.
But he still wanted to give it a try.
What if during the palace examination, the emperor did not match his name with his face and chose him?
He wanted to do things for the people of the world!
Zheng Qiru looked painful when he saw the emperor's eyes moving.
Today, he did not agree with the joint petition of the candidates, and believed that the students should not blindly interfere in the affairs of the court without understanding the situation.
But he did not expect that when he followed to advise, he met the emperor himself leaving Zhengyang Gate.
The emperor saw his ugly appearance earlier than he thought!
Zheng Qiru was in great pain at this moment.
He really did not have the courage to see the emperor's dislike and disgust for his ugly appearance.
But soon, his arm was pushed.
"Hey, Lao Zheng, the emperor seems to be smiling at you."
? ? ?
How is it possible?
Zheng Qiru lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
Don't be kidding.
The emperor smiled at him?
Unless the emperor has an eye disease!
