Mountain People

Gu Shuixiu was happy to see Dong Chenghu, and continued: "And Jiang An's child, he has not been idle all these years outside, he has his own ideas, and the answers he wrote are very novel. Judging from my point of view, Jiang An can afford the champion, a role model for Binghe, as for the third flower... The emperor can see who is suitable."

Gu Shuixiu deliberately sold a trick, Dong Chenghu became even more curious, and directly read the outstanding papers that were selected by Gu Shuixiu.

Seeing that Dong Chenghu was paying attention to the papers, Gu Shuixiu paced to Bai Tongyu's side. She was in charge of the papers for medicine. Gu Shuixiu was also very curious about the answers of the candidates.

"How is it? Can you see a particularly brilliant answer?" Gu Shuixiu asked with her head tilted.

Bai Tongyu smiled wryly and shook her head, "Mother, to be honest, these questions are so strange that I can't answer them myself. Bai Yiren and Bai Jiangli reluctantly answered a few things, and the other three were really difficult to explain.

. "

Gu Shuixiu followed Bai Tongyu's hand to look at the piles of things, and found that there were only twenty or thirty papers she could read, so she couldn't help frowning.

"How about the theory in front of these people?"

Bai Tongyu said softly: "They're all pretty good. It can be seen that their basic skills are quite solid, but they are stumped by the following questions."

Gu Shuixiu heard the words and sighed: "It would be good to have twenty or thirty copies to see. This medical examination is recruited by imperial physicians. Unlike Wenju, the emperor does not need so many people. Look at it as much as you can, and choose the best ten out of the twenty or thirty.”

Bai Tongyu nodded lightly, and turned over the papers of Bai Yiren and Bai Jiangli again. Although she resisted the people of the Bai people, she had to say that these two people were really capable. , the papers of these two people can definitely be ranked in the top ten.

After Gu Shuixiu left from Bai Tongyu, she walked towards Dong Yuanjie, who was in charge of the Nongsang.

Arriving in front of him, Gu Shuixiu saw several piles of papers sorted, this time she got used to it, and went straight to the pile with the fewest papers, and after reading a few, her brows wrinkled and loosened. Wrinkled again, it took a long time before he said: "These candidates seem to be from poor people. From their answer sheets, it can be seen that they not only have theory, but also went to the fields themselves, but although they wrote a lot, these answers Can't answer the question."

Gu Shuixiu was a little disappointed. Nongsang was the foundation of people's livelihood. She paid more attention to Nongsang than medicine.

Dong Yuanjie said helplessly: "The mother, in fact, asked the minister to say that in this world, the mother will have such a method of growing food, most people farm according to the method passed down from generation to generation. , they have no doubts about the method of their ancestors, it is not easy to challenge the inheritance of the ancestors with these questions from the mother and queen, if they can answer them immediately in the examination room, the son will feel strange!"

It's true, but Gu Shuixiu thinks that there are so many talents in the world, and certainly not everyone listens to the words of their ancestors.

"Take a good look and tell me if you find something special." Gu Shuixiu sat down beside Dong Chenghu weakly, and sighed, "Your Majesty, the concubine thought that these questions could be used for You have recruited some people with real talents and real learning, but it seems that the concubines are thinking too much, and our Daqi is really withering talents!"

Dong Qinyan couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, "Empress mother, we are full of talents, but there is a lack of eccentric talents, just what you are looking for is eccentric talents, It would be good to let you find one or two, can you still expect these people to have a bag?"

Gu Shuixiu choked, her eyes widened inexplicably, and she retorted lightly: "What does the mother want? The way the imperial examinations were in the past, those who made the list will definitely follow the same path in the future, and if the sameness continues, the imperial court will only become more and more corrupt.

Dong Chenghu and the others looked at Gu Shuixiu in surprise. They really couldn't understand why Gu Shuixiu had such thoughts. When they thought about it carefully, they felt that what Gu Shuixiu said was very reasonable. It was precisely because of this. , they were even more shocked.

Dong Yuanjie couldn't help but said: "Empress mother, Erchen really wants to know what is going on in your mind? Do you know how amazing what you just said? Here, I don’t dare to say such bold words.”

Gu Shuixiu reacted, and felt annoyed for a while. She said that she should be cautious in her words and deeds, and not participate in political affairs.

Now everyone is staring at her like this, it really makes her feel uncomfortable, she quickly smiled: "What's so surprising, I used to do nothing in the mountains, and I read a lot of books, even if I didn't Knowledge also has some common sense. Throughout the history of Daqi, you can find that it has experienced many changes in dynasties, and each dynasties have a maximum of three or four hundred years from prosperity to decline.

In these three or four hundred years, a country can replace more than a dozen monarchs. The monarch at the beginning will still try hard to rule, but at the end, the monarch will always become faint, and the people will rebel when they are not living. , Then the dynasties changed, and our Daqi didn't come like this!

The queen mother didn't want the world that your father handed down to end like this, so it's just a little more thought. "

Dong Chenghu and the others were all dumbfounded, Dong Yuan was reacting and couldn't help but praise: "Mother, my son has seen what a virtuous wife is today, if my son can marry someone like his mother. Ladies, my life is worth it."

This is the first time that Dong Yuanzheng has mentioned his marriage seriously. Gu Shuixiu heard the words, her eyes lit up, and she ignored Dong Chenghu and the others' reactions, and directly rubbed against Dong Yuanzheng's side and asked gossip. Said: "Yuanzheng, which lady do you like? You don't have to worry, just tell the mother directly, and the mother will definitely find a way for you."

Dong Yuanzheng was so frightened by Gu Shuixiu's appearance that he hid behind Dong Yuanjie and protested: "Mother! Aren't we talking about you? Erchen is just sighing, how can you contact me like that? , How excited are you for something that is not even a word!"

Dong Yuan was muttering.
