Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 566
Hou San smiled uncomfortably, a jailer stepped forward and was about to strike.

They have always been ruthless with the prisoners in their cells.

However, just as the jailer was about to make a move, Qin Tian stopped him.

Then, looking at Hou San, he asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Hou San still laughed loudly, and after laughing like this, he said: "I laugh at this world, I laugh at the laws of the Tang Dynasty, I laugh at him as ridiculous, hahaha..."

Hearing Hou San mentioning the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Han Xiao immediately frowned, and shouted: "Bold, how can you be so contemptuous of the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

Hou San said: "Contempt? Haha, so what? Why did I, Hou San, go to jail before? It was just that I had an argument with someone and injured that person, and then I was put in prison for a year. Do you know how I lived in the cell for more than a year, do you know what changed in my life when I got out of the prison?"

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was a little dignified. Some guards resisted the urge to hit someone, but Qin Tian was listening by the side, seeming very interested and not in a hurry.

"You must be wondering why I killed someone? It's because you imprisoned me for a petty crime, but you imprisoned me for more than a year. When I got out, I found out that my woman was hooking up with other men. Together, if it wasn't because the laws of the Tang Dynasty were too strict, would my woman be like this?"

"Bah, what a shameless reason. It's clear that your woman is promiscuous. What does it have to do with the laws of the Tang Dynasty?" As the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, Han Xiao couldn't bear someone's contempt for the law.

However, Hou San didn't care at all, he had nothing left to do, so naturally he could say whatever he wanted.

"You're right, but I'm sure that if I was only locked up for a month, my woman would never hook up with other men because of loneliness. However, since they have done such a thing, they will have to pay the price. That's right, I killed them, whether it was Murong Bai or Zhang Sanqian, I killed them all."

Hou San confessed to the crime.

"When I was released from prison and found out that my woman was hooking up with Zhang Sanqian, I was moved to kill him, but I was not too anxious. I knew that if Zhang Sanqian was killed, you might be killed soon. I will follow the clues to find me, so in order to confuse you, I killed Murong Bai first, these scholars and scholars, relying on their culture and good looks, they bully women, hook up with women, kill them, and die with more than culpability..."

When he came out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it was already dusk.

Qin Tian and Di Zhixun rushed home. Before they parted, Di Zhixun took a look at Qin Tian and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with using heavy codes in troubled times, but now that the Tang Dynasty has been established for ten years, it is necessary to use heavy codes again." It is somewhat inappropriate, and there are many unjust, false and wrongful cases, or serious cases in the criminal department, if they are not dealt with in time, such things may continue to happen."

After finishing speaking, Di Zhixun turned around and left. He didn't need to tell Qin Tian too clearly what he said, because he believed that Qin Tian was a smart person and he knew what to do.

Qin Tian went back in the carriage, thinking about Di Zhixun's words, and then showed a slight smile.

"This Di Zhixun is really an interesting person."

The first imperial examination in the first year of Zhenguan finally started.

Almost everyone in Chang'an is paying attention to this matter. They want to know who can pass the exam and who can't.

Early in the morning, scholars and scholars from all over the world came to the examination room one after another.

Before entering the examination room, every scholar needs to be checked, and all things that may become cheating tools must be confiscated.

The whole inspection lasted for an hour, and after an hour, all candidates had already sat in their seats.

The examination room is not very luxurious, just one after another temporary cubicles, which can simply shelter from wind and rain.

There is no way to do this, too many things have happened in the past year, and the treasury of the Tang State has become so empty. It is already very good to have such a place for candidates to take the exam. Li Shimin's imperial study room is still leaking. , no money to repair it.

After sitting down, the exam began, and Kong Yingda sent someone to distribute the exam papers to the students.

After the scholars got the test papers, they were all pleasantly surprised.

"This paper is not bad."

"I've never seen such a good paper, it's comfortable to write on..."

"This is the paper that Lord Qin improved, right?"

Everyone was amazed, but they were soon stopped by Kong Yingda's coughing. They didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly started answering questions.

The paper is good, and the writing is very smooth. The writing speed of these scholars and scholars is much faster than before.

Ma Zhou stayed in his private room and wrote hard. Although he had a good relationship with Qin Tian, ​​he didn't get the slightest care, but for him, these were not problems.

The Four Books and Five Classics couldn't help him, and the policy theory couldn't help him even more. He, Ma Zhou, had been following Qin Tian for a long time, and his knowledge of various governance situations was a little more profound than others.

Ma Zhou is very confident.

At the same time, other people in the entire examination room were also very confident.

Di Zhixun was immersed in writing, and Feng Yi, who exposed the leakage of the imperial examination questions, was also immersed in writing. Even in Feng Yi's opinion, his article was wonderful, and there was no problem at all in order to win the first prize and become the number one scholar.

While the civil examinations were in progress, the military examinations were not idle either.

In another part of Chang'an City, all the candidates for the martial arts examination are conducting various competitions. Of course, these martial arts competitions are different from fighting in the arena. In addition to competing with each other, they also compete in riding and archery and so on.

And that's not the end.

Those who enter the top [-] in riding and shooting, martial arts competitions, etc., are considered to have the status of Jinshi. However, if they want to win the first place, they have to conduct some other competitions. These competitions are relatively more literary. As for the use of tactics and formations, there is also the analysis of some battle cases.

In comparison, the military imperial examinations are even more troublesome than the civil imperial examinations.

But it is easy to understand that civil servants govern the country and military generals defend the country. If civil officials are incapable, the country will not be well governed. If military officials are incapable, they will not be able to protect the safety of the country and the people.

Therefore, to become a Jinshi, or even to be an official, you must have the ability, so the court naturally dare not be careless.

Only those who have military force can be the vanguard of fierce generals, and only those who understand the art of war and how to fight can be generals. Therefore, the establishment of any competition project is not without reason and reason.

Li Shimin was waiting for news in the imperial palace, but at this moment, Qin Tian suddenly came to the imperial palace.
