Chapter 584: The assessment questions are daunting
"Next, what is the difference between a swan and a sparrow? Let them see the relationship between it and governing the world."
With a stroke of his pen, Ye Xuan sent the test questions to Zhu Biao for him to read first.
"Your Highness, can you see that there is something wrong with this exam question?"
Zhu Biao paused for a moment. When he received this test question, he only thought of grand ambitions, but the difference between a sparrow and a swan, he really had to think carefully before he could answer it.
It has to be said that the test questions Ye Xuan poses are always so brilliant and unexpected.
He almost thought that Ye Xuan's exam this time was exactly the same as the imperial examination, or even more difficult than that.
Unexpectedly, it contained the most important thing about governing the country. He also instantly understood Ye Xuan's good intentions. Even if it were someone else, he would never have thought of these.
"There is nothing wrong with the test questions set by Mr. Ye~!"
He said and glanced at Zhu Di who was standing aside.
Zhu Di didn't have any objections. He finally got out of the ban this time, and he was nothing more than a tool man.
It's his turn to point fingers here.
The ambition in his heart does not lie here. There is no one like him among the fifth to seventh grade officials.
"If that's the case, then publish the test questions and let those officials answer them quickly."
Ye Xuan said and asked his subordinates to announce the test questions.
The officials were dumbfounded when they got the test questions, and Yuan Hao was extremely distraught.
This completely broke their minds. They had been studying the Four Books and the Five Classics these days, and they wished they could use up all the perseverance they had spent in those ten years of hard study.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan asked such a digression.
Such test questions really caught them off guard, but at the same time they also admired Ye Xuan.
"This question is really unexpected. How should I answer it?"
"The difference between a swan and a sparrow is also a world of difference between mortals and immortals.
"With such test questions, even the top scorer in a new subject would shake his head after reading them."
The officials complained endlessly in the Gongyuan. In order to keep their official positions, they kept their heads down and wrote quickly, hoping to use what they had learned to answer Ye Xuan's satisfaction.
At the same time, the examination questions for officials from the fifth to seventh ranks have been announced outside the gate of Gongyuan.
When the people watching learned about the test questions, they were shocked and started talking in low voices.
"Master Ye is still as tricky as ever when he comes up with questions. His ambition is not within the scope of the Four Books and Five Classics, let alone other areas.
"Indeed, the governance contained in this really needs to be carefully explored before we can achieve anything."
"I really can't figure out why such a question suddenly came up in this assessment. I really don't know how those officials would answer it."
Xie Jin sat next to Ye Xuan. This time he was still the deputy examiner, but the examination questions had nothing to do with him.
The moment Ye Xuan announced the test questions, he actually already understood Ye Xuan's true intention.
Officials are like the chaffinch, and the prince is the swan.
If you want to follow, you must have real talent and practical knowledge, rather than following the trend. If you are on the wrong team, you will definitely be in doom.
It seems like a simple question, but it contains not only the way to be an official, but more importantly, the ability to see the current situation clearly.
Whether they are sparrows or swans, they are born between heaven and earth, and they must work hard to live in order to have great ambitions.
If you can't even save your own life, why talk about those lofty ideals.
Xie Jin looked at the test questions and was surprised.
Ye Xuan knew it when he saw his eyes were slightly red, and he must have known his purpose in his heart.
So he looked at Xie Jin with interest.
"Lord Xie."
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Xie Jin stood up quickly. Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were both there. He had to keep his vigilance and be respectful, both of them were indispensable.
"Master Ye, what are your orders?"
Ye Xuan looked at him with a smile, "I think Mr. Ye seems to have some feelings about my exam questions. Tell me your thoughts so that the Crown Prince and His Highness Prince Yan can learn more."
Xie Jin was personally selected by Ye Xuan and Zhu Yuanzhang and was deeply appreciated.
"Since everyone is here, I'm going to show off a little bit."
As soon as Xie Jin finished speaking, everyone nodded slightly.
Ye Xuan and Zhu Biao both praised him highly, but Zhu Di looked down upon such a person with no family background.
What he values is that those dignitaries in the capital can give him more support on his way to seize the throne.
Jie Jin was born into a poor family and had nothing, let alone anything to help him, so his eyes were full of disdain.
…Please give me flowers…………
Xie Jin took the test questions asked by Ye Xuan and expressed his true thoughts. His insights into the test questions were also extremely unique.
"If the sparrows and swans can live in peace, they can see the same sky, but there will definitely be a price to pay for such lofty ambitions, and it must not be that simple."
"Therefore, all choices are accompanied by more costs. These are also the biggest differences between chaffinches and swans. They are both similar and different."
Ye Xuan listened to Xie Jin's words and nodded gently, his eyes full of appreciation.
When I came up with the test question, all I could discuss was the meaning, but after Xie Jin's interpretation, the question seemed to have a deeper meaning.
It made him admire Xie Jin even more.
"His Royal Highness, do you think what Xie Xi said is reasonable?"
At this time, Zhu Biao was shocked. He did not expect that a small test question involved so many truths.
This time, there seemed to be many clues in the test questions, and he no longer pretended to be confused like before.
Listening to Ye Xuan's words, he nodded repeatedly with a smile on his lips.
"Lord Xie, you are indeed the civil servant whom Emperor Father admires most. His cultural heritage and knowledge are indeed not comparable to those of other ministers in the court.
Xie Jin was appreciated and a little flattered.
Ye Xuan saw that the time was almost up and stood up slowly.
"The three hours are up! Start collecting the papers. Regardless of whether you have finished answering or not, all papers must be handed in without any delay."
Ye Xuan gave the order, and his men hurriedly began to put away the papers, which made the officials complain endlessly.
Some older people stopped taking the exam before they could write much with the pen in their hands.
"I haven't finished the answer yet, give it to me quickly! I'm a fifth-grade official, so why am I not special?"
The officials were clamoring. They had been watching this for so many years, but they had never been treated like this before.
Some people rely on themselves to be officials in the dynasty and look down on their subordinates. There are many people who make rude remarks.
At this time, Ye Xuan came out, looking at the officials with a deserted expression.
"Adults, don't worry. I will inform Your Majesty of everything you do in Gongyuan. If there are still people who want to continue to act recklessly here, "then don't blame me for being rude."
The officials did not dare to speak after hearing this. They lowered their heads and gritted their teeth. .
