Chapter 410 How To Determine The Number One Winner? Is Ye Xuan Doing It Again?

Chapter 410 How to decide the top scholar? Is Ye Xuan doing something tricky again?

Ye Xuan was originally in a trance, thinking about some minor details and whether he should pay attention to anything in the future.

But before he could sort out his thoughts, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's call.

Subconsciously agreeing, Ye Xuan hurried out of the line and walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Before he opened his mouth, Ye Xuan first grinned and then thanked Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, congratulations! It is really a cause for celebration that so many talents have been obtained at one time.

The relationship between him and Zhu Yuanzhang does not need to be so polite.

But Ye Xuan chose to use this method to show his indispensability and loyalty, and at the same time to bring them closer.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Ye Xuan and then smiled bitterly.

He waved his hand and said to Ye Xuan, "One, five, three": "How can you congratulate me? You are clearly mocking me!"

Ye Xuan was startled and was about to explain when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang speak.

"Okay, I called you to help me with the discussion! We finally selected three people as the top three according to their articles and abilities.

But the problem is that the three of them have different judging criteria, and each of them has its merits. We really can't be sure who should be the top scholar!" Ye Xuan really didn't expect that he was no longer the chief examiner, but he would have to participate in such a headache. But Zhu Yuanzhang had already spoken, and he couldn't refuse him. After all, in front of so many people, Zhu Yuanzhang could ask him, which was already a great honor for him. If he refused at this moment, or refused to express his opinion, it would be like slapping Zhu Yuanzhang in the face. But asking him to help choose, Ye Xuan was really unsure for a while. After thinking for a while, Ye Xuan decided to take a look at the papers first. So he explained the situation to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then took a stack of papers into his hands. The candidates in the distance didn't know the truth. When they saw Ye Xuan coming forward, they couldn't help but feel uneasy, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to add any more tests. And Ye Xuan also noticed at this moment that Zhu Yuanzhang had already selected the top three candidates, but he deliberately gave him several test papers, clearly wanting to confirm whether his ideas and vision were consistent. This was the mind of the emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang was already familiar with it, but Ye Xuan couldn't tell it, so he could only play dumb. So after he took the test paper, he immediately pretended to be embarrassed and asked Zhu Yuanzhang. "Your Majesty, why are there so many papers? Didn't you say that the last ranking of the top three is missing?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "That being said, I was born a warrior. Although I later conquered the world, I also invited famous teachers to teach me a lot of things. But those are all talents who need to learn. We can't guarantee that no one will be left empty-handed!" With this answer, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was already very clear. Ye Xuan knew what was going on, but on the surface he looked like he was observing carefully. After a while, he suddenly thought of something, so he hurried to explain to Zhu Yuanzhang. "Your Majesty, among these people, some do have good literary talent, such as Xie Jin. This person is indeed capable, but his character is a little worse! If we only look at his literary talent, this person can get the first place in the exam. But he is petty and only mentioned the place where his household registration was, but he didn't dare to talk about the whole world. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. When he read the text before, he felt that if he only talked about the essay, Xie Jin would be the first place. But he had said it before, so he would not change it, so he could only put Xie Jin behind. But speaking of it, Xie Jin is also a capable person. He only rests for a short time every day after studying, but he is still full of energy, unlike others who are sluggish. Looking at Xie Jin, Zhu Yuanzhang always felt that if he placed this person in the tenth place, he might be somewhat overshadowed.

So after confirming everything, Ye Xuan never spoke.

I don’t know if it’s resistance or something else.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Ye Xuan, thought for a moment, and decided to urge him.

"Ye Xuan, is it possible that you haven't finalized it yet?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Ye Xuan, aren't you going to say something?"

Ye Xuan had no choice but to continue.

He said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that I was once ordered to teach the princes?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, thinking that Ye Xuan had thought of something.

Out of habit, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded as an answer.

But the next grandson, Ye Xuan, had a smile on his face and nostalgia in his eyes.

After he saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, he dared to introduce the key points.

"Your Majesty, just remember it. I feel that if you just want a clear answer, it doesn't matter what method you use.......

Since the answer has been given before, why doesn't Your Majesty just say it?"

As he said that, Ye Xuan turned around and glanced at everyone, his eyes so deep that many candidates trembled in their hearts.

He said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, you'd better make a decision early, otherwise there will be trouble in the future."

Until this moment, Ye Xuan didn't say what to do, but Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to understand.

He thought for a moment and asked: "In that case, how do you plan to arrange them?"

Ye Xuan smiled bitterly: "I plan to let them compete on their own. When someone among the top three defeats the other two, he will be the champion. If he loses, he will still be the champion."

Hearing that Ye Xuan wanted them to compete in martial arts, Zhu Yuanzhang almost dropped the brush he just picked up.

"A-are you serious?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mao Xiang, then at Ye Xuan, and finally asked again.

Ye Xuan nodded, cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this is also a way to think twice. Just do it! You will definitely not make a mistake!"

With that said, Ye Xuan once again brought out the story of the Song Dynasty, compared the current situation with it, and finally brought Zhu Yuanzhang back to the altar.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again, but the expression on his face was different.

"That's all, it's up to you!"

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at several veterans beside him.

Those people were the first group of people to follow Zhu Yuanzhang, and they got lucky.

4.6 Suddenly hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words today, they couldn't help but start to doubt.

Is it the emperor who is unkind, or is there someone else who is deceiving His Majesty?

Once they think about it, they can really come up with an idea.

But before they could take action, Zhu Yuanzhang had already started to follow Ye Xuan's wishes and explained the situation to the eunuch.

The eunuch's face looked strange at first, but he still raised his voice, feeling embarrassed.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved, the candidates were panicked.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean? Wrestling? Then we are going to lose?"

Ye Xuan heard this clearly, but did not pay attention to it.

After all, he obeyed Zhu Yuanzhang's order, so even if the imperial censor came, he didn't care.
