He looked at the list and felt a headache.

"That's it. I'll send someone to post the imperial list in a few days. I'll do it well first." In fact, it is not difficult to hold the palace examination.

"Emperor, my wife has provided a way for the emperor to preliminarily select the people who will participate in the palace examination. I don't know if the emperor is interested in knowing." Shen Xu smiles and says to Xiao Zirui.

"What kind of method?"

Smell speech, Xiao Zirui is a little curious.

He knew that fuduoduo was always a ghost. She said that if there was a way, there was a way.

He doesn't have to worry about Shen Xu cheating on her.

Fuduo's little brain is full of strange ideas all day.

"Essay contest." At this point, Shen Xu is also surprised by Fuduo's wonderful ideas.

"What is essay competition?" Xiao Zirui listened to Fuduo's many strange ideas, but he had never heard of them before. For a moment, he was curious and asked.

"To put it simply, at the beginning, the emperor could not say that it was for the palace examination. The emperor could say that it was for celebration. He asked all the scholars in the capital for articles and published the top three articles to others. However, before publishing the pamphlet, the emperor will ask those people a few questions. If they find that their articles do not match their knowledge, they will be punished as the crime of deceiving the king. " Shen Xu smiles.

If it's for the whole capital, there's no guarantee that someone will cheat.

After all, it's good for them no matter how it sounds.

As long as they hand in their articles, they can get Xiao Zirui's appreciation. Under such circumstances, some people take the risk to let others write for them in order to get Xiao Zirui's appreciation.

But with that rule, there would be fewer people willing to take risks.

Such a competition, there is no other reward, if you cheat Xiao Zirui, but also bear the crime of bullying, I'm afraid few people are willing to.

In this way, a group of people can be selected.

When those people's list is on the palace examination list, they probably won't know what happened.

What's more, they don't have time to prepare. On the contrary, it's easier to see their ideas and talents.

However, after listening to Shen Xu's idea, Xiao Zirui thought about it, but he still felt that it was not right.

"There's no problem with the palace examination, but the palace examination usually doesn't select many people. Although there are not 100 people on the list, there are also 30 people. I can't let all the people who participate in the palace examination be officials." Xiao Zirui was a little worried.

Fudo's idea is really a good one.

But in Xiao Zirui's view, the practicality is not very high.

"We can make an exception for 20 people to come for this palace examination." Shen Xu said with a smile, "you can find an excuse to set up the Imperial College, so you need to dispatch Jinshi from Jingzhong. No matter what the excuse is, you can get the people first, make sure they are really talented, and give them a low official position first."

"Then choose what you want according to their performance in office."

"All right." Xiao Zirui listened to Shen Xu and nodded.

He is also out of order now.

The rules of selecting officials were always according to the emperor's heart. Even if there were spring and palace examinations, they were just like decorations in the eyes of the emperor.

In recent years, Xiao Zirui broke away from his bad habits. It is impossible for him to learn those filial piety methods like he did earlier.
