Look at the list.

Information about the three people flashed through Guo Tianyi's mind.

The first favorite to win the championship is Huang Weiyin.

As a well-known young master in the capital, he is not only a good character, but also knowledgeable and talented, so he was expected to be shortlisted by Guo Tianyi.

Because he is the son of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance.

Therefore, many courtiers supported Huang Weiyin to win the first prize.

Even the cabinet officials believed that Huang Weiyin should win the title of No. 1 Scholar.

The second one is called Lu Wenhao.

He was born in the Lu family of Cangzhou Prefecture and was a student of Legalism.

He was also a young student whom Wang Yuan highly respected.

After Guo Tianyi quickly searched the memories in his mind, he found information about Lu Wenhao.

If he hadn't traveled across the sky by himself.

After King Zhou ascended the throne, this son also entered the official career.

Eventually he became one of the Nine Officials, but due to strict law enforcement, he had many enemies.

After his death, nothing valuable was found in his home, which shows that this man was an honest official throughout his life.

His wife returned to her hometown to live in seclusion after Lu Wenhao's death.

If I remember correctly, Lu Wenhao is more strict in enforcing the law than Wang Yuan.

"Lu Wenhao is a capable minister, but he offends people too easily and doesn't know how to be tactful..."

Guo Tianyi thought to himself, and immediately looked at the third name.

Tao Ming.

A native of Jingzhou Prefecture, he is forty years old and is the eldest among the three.

He comes from a humble background, but his ancestors were once prominent and were also from a wealthy family during the previous dynasty.

It's a pity that life is miserable now.

Compared with the first two people, Tao Ming's background was much colder.

The situation at Qin Yichuan's family is similar.

It can be said that he is a typical disciple from a poor family.

It is precisely because of this that there are the fewest voices supporting Tao Ming.

Think for a moment.

Guo Tianyi had an idea in his mind.

"My dear friends."

"Tomorrow's emperor list, I decided to divide the gold list and silver list."

"Three people on the gold list will be given to Enke as the number one, second on the list, and third overall."

"The eighty people on the silver list will be awarded the status of Jinshi according to their performance."

"These students can be directly transferred to the post for training."

"At the same time, from all the unsuccessful scholars, I have decided to select ten more to be at the bottom of the silver list to make up the hundred."

Guo Tianyi announced the results according to the ranking method of ancient Huaxia in later generations.

"My Holy Emperor!"

"only..."

"Who are the top picks and the top two picks...?"

Wang Yuan breathed rapidly and looked at Guo Tianyi and said.

A title on the gold medal list carries a lot of weight.

To the emperor, this was just a casual remark.

But for the students, it is a great honor.

Wang Yuan was naturally willing to see his Legalist students win the title of Number One Scholar.

Some of the other courtiers also hoped that Huang Weiyin could win the championship title.

Huang Bo, the Minister of Revenue, was extremely nervous at this moment.

Even my palms were sweating a lot.

His own son has given him a great deal of face.

If I can become the number one scholar, then my old Huang family will definitely be noble in the future, right?

For private students and people all over the world, although there is only one difference between number one and number two, number two and number three, they have absolutely different meanings.

"The top pick..." Guo Tianyi smiled slightly and said calmly, "Jingzhou Prefecture Tao Ming's test paper is unique, and his strategies are very popular with me, so he will be the top pick."

"As for the second place on the list, Huang Weiyin's strategies are majestic, but the only flaw is that he lacks a little grounding. The second place on the list goes to Huang Weiyin."

"Although Tao Ming's policy theory is not bad, it is a little bit violent, so I think it will be the third flower."

"As for the ranking on the silver list, you can decide for yourself."

Guo Tianyi specially commented on the three people's test papers in order to convince the courtiers.

Moreover, he also got to the point.

Supporting the poor is a statement of one's attitude to the world.

In fact, Huang Weiyin is more than enough to be the number one scholar.

And in official history, Huang Weiyin finally reached the position of prime minister.

But none of this matters.

The important thing is that he wants the world to see the emperor's support for scholars and poor families.

A hero doesn't care where he comes from, as long as you have real talent.

Always stands out.

Secondly, it is ability.

If you do well in exams now, you may not do well as an official or a person in the future.

There are also some people with evil intentions who become officials just to gain benefits.

Such people have existed in all dynasties, and I cannot stop them.

"My Holy Emperor!"

All the civil and military officials were truly convinced, and they all shouted long live.

Everyone has different thoughts in their heart.

They knew that Tao Ming, the number one scholar, had more luck.

They have all read Tao Ming's test papers, and they are not as good as His Majesty said.

Compared with Huang Weiyin's test paper, it is not impressive enough.

Compared with Lu Wenhao's test paper, it is not detailed enough.

Moreover, this person is also the oldest.

Even if he served the imperial court, Tao Ming would not be able to serve for many years?

Your Majesty may have chosen him just to make a statement to the world.

What a piece of shit luck...

Many people felt that Tao Ming had great luck.

Huang Bo, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, also heard the implication of Guo Tianyi's words and felt satisfied.

Although his son is not the number one scholar, his weight in His Majesty's heart is no less than that of the number one scholar.

If it weren't for the purpose of making a statement to the world, the position of number one scholar must belong to his own son.

After figuring this out, Huang Bo felt much more comfortable.

These old ministers know how to figure out the emperor's thoughts.

Of course, they all overlooked one point.

The courtiers wanted to find ways to express themselves and gain the emperor's favor.

Guo Tianyi, on the other hand, wants to find ways to master the emperor's mental skills.

The ministers around the emperor can generally be divided into several categories.
