The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 368 Gu Jingzhi measures the talents of students!

What happened in front of Gu Jingzhi's mansion spread throughout the capital in an instant.

Some people are amazed by it, some are suspicious of it, some are disdainful of it, and some admire it.

All in all, the various mansions in the capital have different ideas.

After hearing this, the emperor just smiled faintly!

After hearing this, Song Pu sighed quietly. To be honest, he was only at this status and age. If he were Gu Jingzhi's age... or even twenty years older, he would not be able to refuse a student's visit.

After all, this is a great opportunity to recruit followers.

Considering Gu Jingzhi's current power and fame, it is not difficult for him to train a few disciples. Those would be his future helpers in officialdom, but he could not resist this temptation.

Could it be that he really didn't study in order to become an official?

Thinking about everything that happened before, it seemed that everything he did was to protect himself, and he, Song Pu, was the pressure that pushed Gu Jing forward, and now he is more like a stepping stone for him!

For an instant.

Song Pu felt a little resentful towards Gu Heng and Song Yu. If these two had not been so calculating, the things that happened later might not have happened. Gu Jingzhi might have become a knife in his hand instead of a knife in the hand of Emperor Xia.

Now, this sharp knife can be restrained, but it can also show its sharpness when it cuts towards him!

If he wants to deal with him now, he has to use the Yin Gun, otherwise he really can't deal with Gu Jingzhi.

He vaguely felt that two years ago, Emperor Xia would have given Gu Jingzhi a warning for the sake of balance, but after Gu Jingzhi returned to Beijing this time, Emperor Xia was particularly indulgent towards him.

Perhaps it was because Gu Jingzhi had become more reserved and was able to put himself in the right place, but he still felt it wasn't that simple.

……

No matter what these people thought, Gu Jingzhi still followed the routine, either attending court or busying himself with his own affairs, as if all this had nothing to do with him!

However, Gu Jingzhi did not take no action!

At least, he did not take any action on the surface, but the secret guards were constantly taking action. In fact, the situations of many students taking the imperial examinations were all placed on his desk.

These were all collected by Qu Feiyan!

These days, every time Gu Jingzhi returned home, he asked Qu Feiyan to accompany him to study the materials of these students.

The same is true today!

Qu Feiyan looked at the files and asked in confusion, "Master, since you refused to meet with those students, why did you let the secret guards investigate them?"

If you want to recruit disciples, wouldn't it be easier to just contact a few of them directly and secretly promise them some benefits?

In response, Gu Jingzhi just smiled slightly and said, "I still need some people to help me with the work, but I don't want to use those who have already entered the officialdom. Although those people in the Hanlin Academy are talented and capable, the best place for them is to be sent to the local government!"

"Although these new students have no experience in officialdom, this is the best time to train them!"

"Besides, the questions in this imperial examination... hehe!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled slightly and didn't say much.

In fact, the questions in this imperial examination were also changed. Although the weight of these questions in the entire examination was not high, these were exactly the questions that Gu Jingzhi needed.

They are all practical and useful, especially those related to economics and currency.

Maintaining the healthy and orderly development of currency is a long-term task, especially when the concepts of economics and currency are not widely popularized, such talents are even more valuable.

This is also the reason why it is difficult for him to come into contact with any imperial examination candidates. He already knows the examination questions. If he comes into contact with the imperial examination candidates, who knows what problems may arise later, which may cause him trouble!

Qu Feiyan didn't understand, but whether she understood or not, she would do as Gu Jingzhi thought. The information in these files was the best indication of this.

Gu Jingzhi selected a few lists and placed them in front of Qu Feiyan, saying, "Have you checked all these students?"

"Ok!"

Qu Feiyan nodded slightly and said, "Almost all of these students come from poor or farming families, and have never received any financial support from aristocratic families or people associated with them!"

"it is good!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded and said, "We should pay special attention to these people and solve their problems when appropriate. Although the imperial court has decided to stick to the previous practices in this imperial examination, some of the tricks involved are not limited to the officialdom."

Qu Feiyan nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. Feiyan will definitely not let these people be plotted against. It's just..."

She hesitated.

Gu Jingzhi raised his head and smiled, "What? Do you have any questions?"

"Ok!"

Qu Feiyan said coldly, "Even though the young master is interested in these people, the secret guards can ensure that they don't fall into other people's tricks, but if they want to pass the exam, I'm afraid..."

"You mean, even if we secretly help them, it's still uncertain whether they can get into high school?"

"Ok!"

Qu Feiyan nodded and said, "It's not that Feiyan doubts your decision, it's just that the secret guards have spent so much energy. If these people fail the exam, it will be a waste of manpower!"

The capital city is the headquarters of the Inner Guard, so even the secret guards under Gu Jingzhi's command have to be extremely cautious.

They don't dare to keep too many people who can be used in the capital, but they are all top-notch players. If these people fail to live up to the expectations of their young master, it would be a waste of manpower and resources!

After hearing this, Gu Jingzhi said, "The examiner this time is still the teacher. Although he is a bit stubborn in some aspects, he is also a practical man!"

"I've read the essays of these students. If they perform normally, high school won't be difficult!"

"Especially since His Majesty is determined to overhaul the imperial examination system, I think this will provide them with a fairer environment. As long as they can participate in the palace examination, regardless of their ranking, I only need to ask the Ministry of Personnel for them!"

When Qu Feiyan heard this, she immediately said with shame, "Young Master, you have been very thoughtful. I was the one who asked too many questions!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's a good thing you're thinking more about the implications of this. Previously, the Secret Guards had been asking you to assist Madam, but that was only because you weren't good at seeing the big picture. Madam had the big picture in mind, but wasn't good at intelligence. That's why we asked you two to control the Secret Guards together!"

"However, the Secret Guard has expanded considerably, and we can't rely solely on Madam in the future. If you can make progress in this area, it will be good for us as well!"

"Yes! Feiyan thanks you for your teachings, Master!"

When Qu Feiyan heard this, although her face remained cold, she felt sweet in her heart.

Ever since Gu Jingzhi and Chen Yu rescued her, she had been somewhat worried about her fate. She followed Gu Jingzhi only because she didn't want to see Jin Lehuang mess up the world!

However, Gu Jingzhi has always been good to his subordinates, and his wife is also generous and tolerant. She has always been kind to her subordinates and servants. Gradually, she completely won over!

Thinking of Chen Yu...

Qu Feiyan suddenly said, "Young Master, you didn't mention Madam, but I almost forgot. I just received a message, and according to the time... Madam will be arriving in the capital soon!"

"What?"

Gu Jing was stunned!
