Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 708 The New Year's Exam Will Begin
Qin lost his deer, and the world chased it.

People have always had many opinions on the death of Qin Empire II.Among them, the most prosperous mainstream theory is undoubtedly caused by the tyranny of Qin Shihuang, and the stupidity of the second emperor.

But in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, this kind of statement is just nonsense of the former Han's helpers.

What Cheng Zhao said, Li Zhiyun also thought it was right.

What the people of the Qin Dynasty wanted was a stable environment for farming, not an emperor who wanted to create immeasurable achievements.

Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and the people suffered from the rise and fall.

In the chaotic times of the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, the word peace has become the extravagant hope of the people.

It was hard to usher in reunification, but they didn't wait for the ideal and stable life.Of course Qin Shihuang knew what the people wanted, but the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, the Xiongnu and Beihu were all troubled by the empire, how could he turn a blind eye.

Perhaps, he wants to carry these heavy sins on his own and leave the good name of amnesty to the successors, so that the successors can rest with the people.

But he didn't expect that his successor was a waste.

"You saw these too?"

Li Chengzhao blinked his eyes, looking cute.

"The history books told me."

"It's not advisable to sit and discuss the Tao." Li Zhiyun shook his head.

Li Chengzhao seemed to want to understand something, and said: "I will always remember the teachings of my father."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun gave him a meaningful look.

This fourth son really surprised him.This wisdom is somewhat beyond expectations.However, wisdom alone is not enough, and it is not advisable to sit and talk about Taoism.

The fifth year of Zhenguan was a good year, at least for Datang, which had many disasters and disasters in the past few years.

The time is just like this, entering the sixth year of Zhenguan.

As the natural disasters in the early years of Zhenguan got farther and farther away, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty became more and more relaxed.As long as there is no catastrophe, Datang will surely flourish.

The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty only means a point of view for the surrounding countries.

The moon in Datang is so damn round!

The six-year Zhenguan Opening Conference was not much different from the previous years. The central ministers set the development strategies of the states and counties, and the emperor nodded and agreed to implement them.

In addition, it is the so-called "auspiciousness" offered by various places.For this, Li Zhiyun severely reprimanded.

"What I want is not how much fruit a tree bears. What I want is that the people of the Tang Dynasty enjoy peace and prosperity. What I want is that the tragedy of cannibalism at the end of the Sui Dynasty will never happen again. What I want is that you set an example and consider for the people!"

After the emperor reprimanded him, the officials below all admitted their mistakes and said that they would not make the same mistake again.

At this time, Zhao Cijing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, came out.

"Your Majesty, when is the Chang'an Imperial Examination held every three years?"

The last imperial examination was in the third year of Zhenguan. At that time, the emperor stipulated that in the imperial examination, the top three scholars with a score of more than [-] should be judged in the six departments. Chen Shuda was worried about this, and suggested that this would bring a burden to the six departments, so the emperor So the time for the imperial examination was set to be once every three years.

"February."

"According to the order."

At the beginning of noon in the Great Dynasty, the ministers dined under the corridor outside the Taiji Hall.The food is provided by the palace, which is considered a small welfare.

Zhao Cijing sat on the pony with a rice bowl, eating and drinking.But as he ate, he realized that something was wrong, because a large number of people gathered around him for no reason.

"What are you guys doing? I eat the same food as you guys." Zhao Cijing looked confused. Aren't all the work meals the same? What's so interesting about it.

"Hehe, Zhao Shangshu's beard stool is very good." A servant praised with a smile on his face.

Hu stool, that is, a small horse, is also produced by the workshop. It is made of wood and strong hemp rope, and it is small and convenient.

"I bought it from Qiaomuzhai in Dongshi. If you're interested, you can buy it." Zhao Cijing replied honestly.

He has always been marginalized in the court, belonging to the type of unknown, eating and drinking to die.In terms of talent, Zhao Cijing did have it, but he couldn't compare to Du Ruhui and others.To be a minister is already reluctant.

However, he is the son-in-law of the former emperor and the brother-in-law of the current emperor, so he lives very comfortably, most people would not intentionally make trouble for him.

"Zhao Shangshu, the imperial examination is a matter of great concern to His Majesty. If it is used for the Ministry of Punishment, please do not be polite." The servant said.

"So is the Ministry of War!"

"So is Dali Temple!"

"Why do you want to join in the fun at Dali Temple? Do you need you?"

"Why don't you need it, just in case someone cheats!"

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, Du Ruhui coughed softly, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Then, he said helplessly: "You are all ministers of the humerus in the court, what kind of noise is there outside this Taiji hall, do you want your majesty to reprimand you?"

Everyone smiled awkwardly, and immediately gathered around Zhao Cijing to discuss in a low voice.

"Huh, hush, ha." Xue Shou finished the vegetable soup in one breath, licked his lips, and said with a smile, "Like a cat that smells fishy."

Hearing this, Du Ruhui also laughed, "It's not surprising, after all, it's the Chang'an Great Examination every three years, and the top three with a score of [-] or more can enter the six departments to observe politics."

On the other side, Wen Yanbo walked up and down with bowls and chopsticks in his hands.

"The two families also have nephews for reference?"

"No." Du Ruhui shook his head, "No one from Mrs. Du took the exam."

The cool wind blew into Li Shuliang's heart, making him extremely comfortable, he teased: "Mr. Du looks down on imperial examinations?"

"No." Du Ruhui said without changing his expression, "It's because no one can win the county exam."

If you want to take the Chang'an Great Examination every three years, you must first take the county examination organized by the local government. After the examination, there will be a state examination.

County exams and state exams are held once a year.

But, these are all exams organized by Li Zhiyun in the past two years. In fact, there are not many rules and regulations at all.Moreover, ordinary civilians are currently unable to outperform those children of wealthy families.

"Didn't Xiang Du have a recommendation quota, why not use it?" Yang Gongren asked.

The so-called recommendation quota is an internal benefit, that is, people recommended by a certain minister can directly participate in the big exam, but there is a limited number of direct recommendation quotas each year.

This is the result of Li Zhiyun's compromise, because the last time the news of Han Yuan and Wang Dezhen's observation of politics in the Six Departments spread, the families who supported the emperor had a lot of words. In order to appease these people, Li Zhiyun gave some of them a direct recommendation.

However, this does not belong to a certain family, but is decided by the emperor to be used by a certain family.Maybe you have a recommendation quota this year, but if you offend the emperor next year, then you will lose it. You can only let your children take the county and state exams and pass the exams step by step.

Finally, the number of direct referrals is limited, and this year there are only [-] places.And Du Ruhui has one in his hands, and Xue Shou, Yang Gongren and others also have one.

"If you can't even pass the county exam, it's useless to use it." Du Ruhui sighed helplessly, which was somewhat a pity.

He knew the inside story and understood how perverted the imperial examination papers were.My family couldn't even pass the county exam, so why talk about the Chang'an exam.It's better to just give up than to come out and be ashamed.

What's more, Jingzhao Du's children can only take part in the examination in Guanzhong Prefecture, and the competition is so difficult that it is unimaginable.

The emperor was not worried that he would not be able to select talents, because he was the one who selected the examination papers.What's more, only with a score of more than [-], the top three candidates can enter the six departments to observe politics.

This means that it is useless to score less than [-] points in the test.

Yang Gongren joked: "Then why don't you give me the quota, I owe you a favor."

"Haha, I heard what you said, I'm going to tell His Majesty." Chen Shuda leaned over and said with a smile.

"You just go." Du Ruhui smiled indifferently and finished eating.

Not long after, the court meeting started again, and the ministers also entered the Tai Chi Hall one after another.
