Chapter 224

Because of the issue of the imperial examination, the enthusiasm for the imperial examination was suppressed, and not many people seemed to discuss it.

However, for scholars who are taking the exam, the quality of the favor order will depend on when they enter the court and become officials.

Now I am still preparing for the spring exam.

Especially after Cui Anshi was appointed as the examiner of the imperial examination, everyone's thoughts changed slightly.

Originally, because of the issue of the autumn examination, everyone was weighing whether the spring examination strategy would be another reform.

But now that the examiner is actually from the old school, everyone starts to murmur in their hearts.

Even Yang Yuanqing, Wang Zhiwei, Cui Kuan, Wei Xiaowen and others were undecided.

We found Shen Wuming together.

Shen Wuming rolled his eyes, "Do you think our Majesty is the kind of person who changes orders day by day?"

After leaving such a sentence, he didn't say much.

After all, he was now sure that the female ghost in the dream was the empress.

He even brought Cui Anshi up because he talked too much.

If he dared to reveal the inside story now, no one would know what his petty empress could do.

As soon as these words came out, several people looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Those who can enter the spring examination process, except for noble children like Yang Yuanqing, are not stupid.

Reacted quickly.

Shen Wuming pointed at Wang Zhiwei again, "Show them the questions I gave you last time!"

"I guess these are the things. Take the time to prepare in advance."

Cui Kuan and Wei Xiaowen's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking of the time they were at Sun Yat-sen Academy.

It was also because Shen Wuming was accurate enough that they got private lessons from Lu Ziang.

At this time, it is even regarded as a standard.

at the same time.

As the current imperial tutor, Cui Anshi did not have to go to court on weekdays, and he could also receive a monthly salary.

Now that he has returned to serve as the examiner of the imperial examination, he has also been summoned by the empress alone.

It's nothing more than giving instructions about the imperial examination.

"I understand what your majesty means. Please rest assured. Anshi will not dare to mess around in selecting talents for the country."

Cui Anshi was in high spirits and raised his hand.

The empress nodded, "Actually, it was really difficult for me to choose between you and Li Guozhong at that time."

"But Shen Wuming...you know Shen Wuming's boy, right? He seems to be quite familiar with your granddaughter."

"I've heard of it." Cui Anshi was a little confused, wondering why the empress mentioned this person?

"Zu'e went to Zhongshan. After she came back, she kept praising this kid to me."

"She said he was very talented, especially since she had a fan with the poem Shen Wuming gave him on it!"

"I have always been in love with it. Last time I borrowed it to take a look, she couldn't bear to part with it."

Cui Anshi didn't know why the emperor mentioned Shen Wuming, and he didn't express much at this time.

Just put it on my granddaughter.

"That boy is quite talented." The empress smiled, and then her face became serious again.

"I asked him, between you and Li Guozhong, who should I choose as the examiner?"

"He said something to me, the water in the Yangtze River is clear, but the water in the Yellow River is turbid!"

“However, the water of the Yangtze River irrigates the fields on both sides of several states, and the water of the Yellow River also irrigates the fields of several states on both banks!”

"You can only use it because the water is clear, and you can't use it because the water is turbid. This has been true since ancient times."

"What do you think of this?"

Cui Anshi's cloudy old eyes couldn't help but flash a little, and his heart also moved.

He knew that the emperor could not be fine after eating, so he suddenly told him about the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers.

Instead, the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers are used as a metaphor for the conservatives and reformers in the court.

The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers all use it, as do the conservatives and reformers in the DPRK.

The emperor asked him to serve as the examiner, not that he gave up the reform, nor that he supported conservatism.

Rather, it means that both the conservatives and the reformers are all courtiers of the empress.

He will not drive the conservative faction to death, nor will he leave the government with only the reformist faction.

"It's good that Xiaoyou Shen can still have such insight at such a young age."

Cui Anshi smiled and said, "As my granddaughter said, he is indeed talented, and not only a poet!"

"But because he has the talent of Wang Zuo, he will definitely get a good result in this imperial examination."

The empress nodded, "Go on down, I'm still busy approving old discounts!"

"By the way, tell your precious granddaughter to come and play in the palace more often and talk to me!"

Cui Anshi bowed deeply and understood what the empress meant.

This is an external statement. The emperor is not hostile to the conservatives, it is just a balancing act.
