Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 711 Start the Imperial Examination
The power of the aristocratic families in the south is as complicated as that in the north and Guanzhong.After all, there was a saying that 'the king and the horse' share the world.

Traveling south in clothes, it is not only the etiquette culture, but also the family that has become stronger and stronger since the later Han Dynasty.

He summoned Chen Shuda to speak, not to intimidate him, but just to give him a signal.Use Chen Shuda's mouth to warn those southern aristocratic families to be more honest.

At present, it is impossible for Li Zhiyun to touch them.Because the Guanlong nobles have not completely lost their power at the moment, and the Shandong aristocratic family is showing signs of rising again.What's more, he also planned to lead the southern family and the Shandong family to fight each other.

But, it's really disgusting.

"In this prosperous and prosperous age, there is a danger of burning oil." Li Zhiyun murmured.He saw, decades later, the misbehavior of those local aristocratic families.

"It can't be left to the king of future generations, it must be solved by myself." Li Zhiyun's eyes gradually became firm.

Some things can only be done by him.It's not that he wants to give his children and grandchildren a stable world, but that the children and grandchildren simply don't have the ability to do that.

Aristocratic family is like poison, which has already soaked into the bone marrow.If you want to completely eradicate it, you can't do it without great perseverance and big means.

Historically, in the end of the Tang Dynasty, the harm of the aristocratic family was never completely resolved.It wasn't until the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, that the world was smashed, and the roots of the aristocratic family were completely dug out.

Right now, I have to endure it first.

If he wants to fight against the world's powerful with one person's power, he must have unrivaled merits.He must let the entire empire run in his own hands.

Just like the first emperor was alive, the survivors of the six kingdoms were nothing more than bandits in the mountains.

If he can achieve that step in the future, a notoriety will be inevitable.

However, I don't care.

In late February, the imperial examination officially began.As the examinees entered the examination room, the guard army was dispatched, and the entire examination room was surrounded by water.

Shangguanyi took the wooden sign, found his examination room number, and looked at the environment of the examination room, but he didn't think anything was wrong.When he was at sea, the situation he encountered was far worse than at this moment.For him, the environment here is completely acceptable.

It's just that he can accept it, but other pampered scholars may not be able to accept it.Words of complaint came to his ears from time to time, which made him smile with disdain and feel a little melancholy at the same time.

If he hadn't been drifting in the sea, I'm afraid he would be as stupid as those scholars who don't know the so-called.

Soon, the officials in charge of the examination severely reprimanded them and told them that if they wanted to fail the examination, they could get out immediately.

After a while, the complaints gradually disappeared.

As time passed, the exam officially started half an hour later.

The three test papers, like the first big test, are divided into three volumes of 'Wen', 'Li' and 'Policy Questions'.Each paper is worth [-] points.

Exam time, three days.

Shangguanyi took a deep breath, opened the paper, and began to read the questions.

After a while, without a sigh, he realized that, as he and Ma Zhou had guessed, every question contained everything, and the difficulty was so great that it made people dizzy.

For example, one of the fill-in-the-blank questions asked how many generals participated in the Battle of Changping.When most people see the title, they will subconsciously write 'Bai Qi' and 'Zhao Kuo', but in fact the answer is far from that simple.

Because he and Ma Zhou have researched, fill-in-the-blank questions are different from multiple-choice questions.Multiple-choice questions have only one correct answer, but fill-in-the-blank questions have multiple answers.

If you want to get five points for each question, you must write more than four answers.Thinking of this, after Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo, he silently added Lian Po and Wang Yan.

A single topic involves multiple characters and a piece of historical fact. The breadth of knowledge involved can no longer be described as complicated, it should be extremely complicated.

Time goes by very slowly, but very quickly.For those scholars who write like a god, time always feels that time is fast, but for those scholars who do not have enough knowledge, time passes very slowly.

After half a day, someone could not help but sigh.What's more, I am going to give up the exam.

Emperor Li Zhiyun also came to inspect the examination room this time.However, when he came, no one else was allowed to follow him around. He wore plain robes, like a petty official, and led his guards, walking around the examination room like a tour.

Sometimes, he would stop to look at the answers written by those scholars, and sometimes he would order people to send out those trash who didn't want to pass the exam.

The scholars who noticed him were basically bad guys, because the scholars who really worked hard were brainstorming and trying their best to solve problems.

After inspecting it again, from what he saw, most of the scholars actually didn't have the ability to get high marks.This time, maybe even fewer people can score more than [-] points in the test.

After all, he wanted top students, not mediocre students.

If you want to be a middle school student, there is absolutely no need to hold the Chang'an University Examination.The talents provided by the local family are enough to govern the place, so why bother.It is impractical to promote the poor family at the moment, because there are too few children from the poor family, and they cannot compete with those aristocratic families.

What he wants to do is to make the imperial examination better and better and the system more and more perfect.Like a war, stand your ground, set up camp, and fight a long battle.

When they walked out of the examination room, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui were already waiting outside.

"His Majesty."

"Exemption."

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, the test questions this time are no less difficult than the first time."

"I know." After a pause, Li Zhiyun smiled and said, "The Shangguanyi you recommended answered the questions well. It seems that you are very optimistic about him."

Du Ruhui shook his head and said: "To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, I have very little acquaintance with him, but Yang knows a lot about him. The children of my family have no talents to serve His Majesty, so I can only trust Prime Minister Yang once to recommend talents for His Majesty. "

"Really." Li Zhiyun smiled.

"Wei Qing."

"The minister is here."

"The rectification of officials still needs to be continued, and there is no slack. There are very few scholars in the south this time. This is the fault of my ineffective education."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng instantly understood that the emperor was dissatisfied with the southern scholars.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my duty faithfully."

"Very good." Li Zhiyun patted him on the shoulder, "Please work harder, and pay attention to your health."

"I understand, thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

Li Zhiyun nodded and left.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

After the emperor left, Du Ruhui and the others straightened their backs.

"The southern scholars have gone too far this time. It's not surprising that they didn't come for the first time. After all, no one came from so many places. But this time, they didn't come. They didn't take His Majesty seriously. .” Du Ruhui shook his head and said.

After Wei Zheng heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "In my opinion, it's not because the scholars didn't come, it's probably because the local officials didn't report the matter, which caused a blockage of news, and it is necessary to rectify it."

"You're going to offend someone again." Du Ruhui joked.

Wei Zheng smiled lightly and said, "I am such a person. If you let me go to the Ministry of Rites, I really may not be able to relax. Staying in the Ministry of Officials, although I offended people, I did something anyway. I think it is a practical thing."

"Are you mocking me for a vegetarian meal?" Du Ruhui asked back.

"That's not true, I'm just talking about other people." Wei Zheng curled his lips, wanting to name the person who said the vegetarian meal in the corpse was Li Shuliang, but after thinking about it, forget it.

After all, the other party is the royal family.

Du Ruhui said helplessly: "I know you are upright, but sometimes you should be more tactful. There are many officials in the government and the opposition, how can you guarantee that they are diligent and diligent one by one. You should restrain yourself when investigating the south this time. Your Majesty may not be able to keep you."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng frowned and fell into deep thought.
