At this moment, Lu Zhi replied that it is a good thing that the Crown Prince's Economic Bureau can choose young wise men to join, but I think there should be an assessment process.

The emperor said it was right, then Lu Jiu, you will take the exam for the school. The young talents among the Beijing officials, regardless of whether they were from Jinshi, as long as they could understand the classics and history, they would have the opportunity to join the Prince's Office of the Jingshi Bureau.

In addition, in order to show justice, I will ask Hanlin Bachelor Wei Zhiyi to review it.

That night, Wei Zhiyi, who was straightforward, rode a horse and came to visit his father-in-law's house with his wife. Du Huangshang's tone was very unfriendly and he openly criticized Wei Zhiyi:

"What you are in Hanyuan is Wang Yan's draft of an edict. Apart from work, don't involve other aspects, especially the affairs of the Eastern Palace. This is His Majesty's family affairs, which change rapidly. If you are not careful, you will be at risk of overturning."

Wei Zhiyi was dissatisfied and explained to his father-in-law: "The Hanlin scholar was already with the Holy Lord and was very close. The Holy Lord first asked the son-in-law, and the Holy Lord of Yanying Palace asked the prime minister to rule, which shows that in terms of the prince's academic studies, the Holy Lord did not regard it as a family matter, but regarded it as a major event in the world."

"Hasn't you been very close to Hanlin's attendant Wang Shuwen and Wang Ji? The reason why the two kings are close to you is just to win over Gao Wei and me who are close to you. The Holy Lord openly asked the Prime Minister about this in Yanying Palace, and it is actually because he is looking at my reaction."

Wei Zhiyi was a little surprised now.

Because he and the prince and Wang Shuwen colluded in private, Liu Yuxi must win over. Not only because Liu Yuxi was talented and knowledgeable, but also because of his close relationship with Du You and Quan Deyu, he wanted Liu Yuxi to join the Economic Bureau.

Just when Wei Zhiyi was silent, Du Huangshang persuaded his son-in-law: "This country is the crown prince, and he is waiting with peace of mind. If he does things too obvious and acts too impatient, it will trigger a rebound, and things will go against his wishes."

"The prince really just wanted to seek talented people to host the Eastern Palace lecture banquet." Wei Zhiyi did not change his words.

Du Huangshang sighed and then pointed out a way for his son-in-law: this temporary election was made in great momentum, but the final candidates must be rare, so that the Holy Lord can be both satisfied and at ease. Do you understand?

Wei Zhiyi suddenly realized and thanked his father-in-law.

"No need to thank you. You are young and appreciated by Duke Gao Wei. You have been promoted to Meijin all the way. You have been from Nanzheng Ling of Chi County, Xingyuan. Now you are a Hanlin Chengzhi Bachelor. In less than five years, you may be able to join the Secretariat of the Secretariat. But this will also develop your impetuous personality. You have to do it yourself in the future..." Then Du Huangshang lowered his voice, as a briefing for his son-in-law. "Why is Duke Gao Wei not suspicious of the Holy Lord? It is because he is a camp, training and fighting step by step. It is real. The Holy Lord and the world cannot live without him. People like you, who have been noble and have been favored all the way, but they are just a scholar after all. When the imperial court wants to kill you, they will kill you, and if they want to escape, they will be repaid, but they have ever had room for return? Yang Yan is the lesson of the past!"

Wei Zhiyi was so scared...

Du Huangshang's warning was out of kindness, and his son-in-law Wei Zhiyi then really listened to his father-in-law's good advice.

But who would have thought that the situation would go wrong in the end, which was beyond expectations.

Although the proofreading of the Prince's Jing Bureau was only a ninth rank, it suddenly became the focus of fierce competition among the children in the capital because of its special status.

For example, Pei Yanling really wanted his son Pei Cao to obtain this official position.

But when he knew that it was Lu Zhi who was the chief executive, he was immediately discouraged.

However, the reason why Pei Yanling is Pei Yanling is that he is unyielding.

He simply took a thick face and wrote a letter to Lu Zhi directly, saying that his son Pei Cao is indeed talented, and our family is also famous for his proficiency in classics and history (after all, Pei Yanling has noted the record of the historian, known as Little Pei), and this child is still a bit of a family school. Jingyu you presided over the tribute and selection for several years. He has always been known for being honest and honest. I believe he will not give up talent because of personal grudges. Of course, I am not saying that my son must be elected, but I just wrote to you with fear and fear, hoping to get a fair reply.

Lu Zhi quickly replied, and his reply to Pei Yanling was very honest, saying that if Pei Cao was really talented and would definitely win him.

In fact, the reason why Lu Zhi was like this was that he listened to Gao Yue’s advice before leaving Beijing: Give him some face to someone like Pei Yanling, don’t over-stimulate him, and do some tricks of ghosts and monsters.

After receiving Lu Zhi's reply, Pei Yanling privately promoted it everywhere. He was grateful on the surface, saying that Lu Menlang is really generous and is the one who judges a gentleman as a villain, but in fact he is creating momentum. The subtext is: If Lu Zhi really cares about his reputation, he should take Pei Cao from my family.

Soon, Lu Zhi personally came to the Nancao Temple of the Ministry of Personnel to preside over the exam.

The competition this time is very fierce.

Not only Liu Yuxi, but also Cui Qun, a group of handsome scholars who had just become famous in Beijing, have arrived.

Pei Cao, who is quite a family education, and Gao Ding, the son of Gao Ying, who had just gone to Ziqing to settle the two taxes, also came to participate.

Gao Ding's research on scriptures was very profound. It is said that when he was seven years old, he asked his father, "How could he defeat the king with his ministers?" (Why did Shang Tang, as a vassal of Xia, beat the king so righteously?)

Gao Ying followed Mencius' theory and replied to his son, "Responding to heaven and obeying people, not doing anything wrong with Tao."

Ordinary children are only here, but Gao Ding pointed to the Shangshu. Gan Oath and said: "Is it true that you reward your ancestors with your destiny, but not kill them in the society?" (This oath says that those who are willing to follow me Shang Tang to defeat Xia will receive the reward before the ancestors' Lord of God; those who are unwilling to be killed in front of the Lord of God. Since you said that defeating Xia is in line with the voice of the people, how could there be unwilling to serve? Since some people are unwilling to use killing to coerce them with their willingness, then why are you still claiming to be in accordance with the heavens and obeying people? So, father, do you have some preconceived ideas about your studies and lack your own doubts and thoughts!)

Gao Ying was dumbfounded and could not answer (this question is much more difficult than a child asking Sun Wukong how many fairy girlfriends he has).

In this exam, the questions asked by Lu Zhi were also shocking.

"What articles can be deleted in the Three Rites (Zhou Li, Etiquette, Book of Rites)? What can be abolished by the Three Rites (Zhu Zuo Shi, Gongyang Zhi, Guliang Zhi)? The Mohist school is not happy, so how can it be rituals? Confucianism has ordered it, should this be said?"

I asked publicly which article can be deleted and abolished by Confucian classics, and I questioned whether Confucius' remarks were appropriate.

The emergence of this test question actually echoes the era of great change that is about to come - the anxiety and suspicion arising from the discovery that the old classics cannot save the world, as well as the fear and expectation of new directions in the future, have been reflected from people's underlying thoughts to the shooting skills in the court.

The young people who should be praised will splash ink and make a move.

Then Lu Zhi carefully judged that there were three people in the Prince's Classics:

Liu Yuxi, Pei Cao, Gao Ding.

When the list of these three people was sent to Wei Zhiyi, Wei scratched his ears and was difficult to decide.

If all of them were taken, the prince would be suspected of being invited to buy people's hearts and would be suspicious of the emperor.

It is inappropriate to take two and get one.

It’s better to listen to my father-in-law, it’s best to get one and two.
