Joy of Life: Starting from the Prince of Zhennan in Northern Qi!

Chapter 91 Yang Xiu is the one who is bent on favoritism and abuse of power!

The eunuch led a group of students out of the palace.

Yang Hu came to Yang Xiu.

"Boy! You've really gone too far this time! You've completely offended the Queen Mother!"

Yang Xiu laughed and said, "I don't understand what Dad said! When did I offend the Queen Mother? Wasn't all this arranged by the Queen Mother from the beginning? Now such a big thing has happened, and I am just cleaning up the mess for the Queen Mother! It's fine if the Queen Mother doesn't reward me! How can I say I have offended her!"

Yang Hu rolled his eyes: "Forget it, I don't want to bother with you! I'm leaving! Go home early after you're done! Don't play outside all day!"

After Yang Hu finished speaking, he turned and left.

Then Shen Zhong came over.

Bowing: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! You have got what you wished for!"

Yang Xiu turned around and glanced at Shen Zhong.

"This matter was handled well! Next, let's finish it! The Liu family doesn't need to stay!"

Shen nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty! The Royal Guards have already arranged everything! We are just waiting for Your Majesty's order. No one in the Liu family will be able to escape!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "Do it more cleanly, and don't keep those related to the Liu family! If you want to do it, you have to do it thoroughly! Do you understand?"

Shen Zhong bowed: "I understand! What about Sun Ruzhong? I have already had him detained!"

Yang Xiu stretched lazily: "After all, he was promoted by the Queen Mother! Why are you asking me? Go ask the Queen Mother!"

A gleam of light flashed in Shen Zhong's eyes: "I understand!"

After Yang Xiu finished the arrangements, he took Haitang Duoduo out of the palace directly.

He didn't go to see Zhan Doudou either.

He estimated that after this battle, Doudou would probably not want to see him.

After all, this time, Yang Xiu's fight with the Queen Mother was not just about dealing with her.

Yang Xiu didn't care much about the royal family's reputation.

So Zhan Doudou would naturally be angry.

But as for the little girl, she can be comforted once she calms down.

Yang Xiu has experience.

Not the first time.

Time passed bit by bit.

The day of the Spring Examination arrived as scheduled.

Yang Xiu has been very busy recently.

After taking full charge of the Spring Examination, Yang Xiu was well aware of the drawbacks of the ancient Spring Examination.

Favoritism and corruption are something that cannot be avoided at any time.

Especially now that the aristocratic families are eyeing us covetously.

Therefore, there were too many people secretly watching the Spring Examination this time.

The Queen Mother also arranged people to recruit several students.

So, these are the people Yang Xiu was guarding against.

In the first imperial examination, Yang Xiu would never let anyone take advantage of him.

Yang Xiu directly selected three thousand Snow Dragon Riders from the new recruits who were in training.

As an inspector of the examination hall.

As for marking the test papers.

Yang Xiu didn't even use the ministers in the court.

Instead, he went to find Zhuang Mohan in person.

Zhuang Mohan has quite a few students.

Many of them did not enter officialdom.

Instead, he chose to concentrate on studying with Zhuang Mohan.

For Yang Xiu's sake.

Zhuang Mohan found some students to help mark the test papers.

This time, Yang Xiu directly overturned the plans of all the officials in the court, including the empress dowager.

This led to a lot of voices impeaching Yang Xiu in the court.

The grounds for impeachment are simple.

What Yang Xiu did was against the rules.

However, Yang Xiu's response was also very simple.

Yang Xiu went to court in person.

Pointing to these civil and military officials, he said it clearly.

Yang Xiu didn't trust them.

Any comments?
Keep your opinions to yourself!

The ministers were furious.

But when it comes to really confronting Yang Xiu, they don't dare.

Everyone knows that Yang Xiu has great power in the government and the country.
If Yang Xiu is really pissed off.

If we kill them, it would really be in vain.

So, this was the first spring examination of the Great Qi Dynasty.

With Yang Xiu's advance arrangements, everything went smoothly.

At every step, Yang Xiu used people he trusted. Yang Xiu even personally sat in the examination room for three days.

Prevent anyone from having the opportunity to interfere in the Spring Examination.

The Great Snow Dragon Riders surrounded the examination hall, and anyone who dared to approach was regarded as having ill intentions and was arrested.

Anyway, Yang Xiu is there to support us.

The officials could only worry.

Those noble families thought of countless methods, but none of them could be used at this moment.

As for their disciples and retainers.

Yang Xiudu had already been recorded.

None of these people made the list.

As for those who are truly talented and knowledgeable among them.

Sorry, although others cannot abuse their power for personal gain.

But Yang Xiu himself could abuse his power for personal gain and commit fraud.

If Yang Xiu didn't want them to go up, they couldn't go up.

The question is, Yang Xiu had great power in the court.

If you don't agree, just keep it to yourself.

It's that simple.

As for the Spring Examination, Yang Xiu was the only one who had the final say. Even if someone knew that he was partial to someone and committed fraud, they could not find any evidence at all.

Soon, the day of announcement of the results arrived.

Just as Yang Xiu guessed.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui topped the list.

This is not how Yang Xiu operates.

But the real talents and knowledge of the two people are there.

This spring examination was mainly for selecting talents for the court.

Therefore, most of the exams are about state governance strategies.

The answers of the two made Zhuang Mohan's disciples amazed.

There was endless discussion about who was at the top of the list.

In the end, it was Yang Xiu who made the final decision, and the two of them jointly topped the list.

In addition to the first time, there are several good candidates on the list.

Yang Xiu had noticed all of these in advance.

These people are also people that Yang Xiu values.

They are also on the list.

There are a total of fifty people on the gold list.

These fifty people are all people who truly have the talent to govern a country.

Later, Yang Xiu also showed the paper to Zhuge Kongming.

Zhuge Kongming also felt that some of them were indeed talented.

And these people were also targeted by Yang Xiu.

Prepare to accept him as your direct descendant.

Although he passed the imperial examination in spring, it was impossible for him to enter the court immediately.

They also need to gain experience at the grassroots level.

The same is true for Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling.

However, Yang Xiu assigned two important counties to them.

One of these two counties is located near the trade route and has particularly good economic development.

The other one is located in the south of Da Qi, with a good climate, and is the granary of Da Qi.

Both counties were the most important ones in Northern Qi.

Yang Xiu asked Zhuge Liang to directly withdraw two thousand men from the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, and each of them took one thousand men to take office.

The reason for this is that these two counties are geographically important and are naturally the focus of many people's attention.

There are four aristocratic families entrenched near the two counties.

For the safety of both of them, Yang Xiu also had to be prepared.

As for the other students, if Yang Xiu intends to do so, he will give a good place to those who can be conquered by Yang Xiu.

Those who have greater room for promotion will have a smaller place to stay. For those who cannot be conquered, Yang Xiu will just throw them to a smaller place.

Although Yang Xiu was not responsible for these things.

But Yang Xiu also has a say.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

The students who went to Beijing also left one after another.

Those who are on the list will take office.

Those who did not make the list will go back and prepare to retake the exam next year.

For these students to take up office, it would take at least seven or eight years, even if it were the fastest, for them to actually enter the court.

After finishing the matters concerning the Spring Examination, Yang Xiu strangely found himself in a situation where he had nothing to do!
