Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 301 The student's ass and Wen Yanbo's teeth

As the day of the imperial examination was approaching, Li Chengqian suppressed the excitement of getting the woolen material, so he had to go to the Gongyuan of the South Court of the Ministry of Rites for the final inspection.

In previous years, the little fat man Li Tai was in charge of such matters, but this year the emperor decreed that the crown prince should be in charge. This also caused the little fat man who had been using the imperial examination to recruit talents to lose an arm.

Because the imperial court will hold the Crown Prince's coronation ceremony this year, the day of the scientific expedition will be postponed for a while, which will also give the Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry more time to repair the Gongyuan.

Li Shimin paid more attention to the imperial examination than that of the former Sui Dynasty. Not only did he let the prince be responsible for coordinating various ministries every year, but he also selected powerful civil servants and Confucian scholars as the main examination.

This year's chief examiner is Wen Yanbo, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the deputy chief examiners are Chu Suiliang and Wen Yanjiang. These three people are all masters of the world. With their leadership in this year's scientific examination, it is bound to select more for the imperial court. Many talents.Therefore, Li Chengqian still appreciates the emperor's vision in selecting candidates this time. .
"Yu Guogong, the imperial examination system is the source of talent for the imperial court. Before coming here, His Majesty specially asked Gu not only to repair the Gongyuan well, but also to care about the lives of scholars in Beijing, especially those from poor families. After the business is done, we will try our best to ensure the food and clothing of the scholars, and don't let them carry their burdens to the examination room."

No matter how the dynasties change, the world will always be polarized. The poor get poorer and the rich get richer. Reading is a very luxurious thing for those poor people.

In order to encourage the enthusiasm of poor candidates, the emperor specially funded the establishment of the Juxian Hall from the inner government, which solved their worries and helped the staggering poor candidates.

But time can change everything, and no matter how strict the system is, there will be loopholes. Li Chengqian believes that the officials of the Ministry of Rites must not be so concerned when taking care of these daily necessities.

Others are doing great things, but they are in the name of the Ministry of Rites, but they are doing inn business. If they don't let them sleep, they won't let them live, so Li Chengqian just reminded them with good words and didn't Did not check directly.

"Your Highness, don't worry, there are quite a few poor students among the veteran's students, and they know how difficult it is for them to study, so they specially ordered his younger brother Dayou to inspect every three days, and they will definitely not be wronged.", Wen Yanbo. While leading Li Chengqian and his party inside, they talked back.

"Okay, don't worry if you are so lonely. There are many more candidates this year than in previous years, and your pressure is also much greater than in previous years. If you have any difficulties, just raise them, and I will solve them for you immediately."

Wen Yanbo was very happy to see the crown prince attaching so much importance to scientific research. Officials in the DPRK and China have always said that the crown prince values ​​martial arts over culture and neglects Confucian scholars. Now it seems that is not the case at all.

So he replied with a smile: "Since Your Highness said so, the old minister will be blunt. Your Highness, you know that many students have inherited the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is not uncommon for them to drink and talk about poems and songs with their friends and classmates on weekdays." thing.

Especially now, the top students from all over the country gather in Chang'an, enjoying wine and making friends with words has become the norm.However, Chang'an City has a strict curfew system. Recently, the old officials did not know that they had made many trips to Jing Zhaoyin and the left and right Wuhou troops to protect those students who committed night crimes.

It's okay for the veteran to run a few times, but these students who committed night crimes have been beaten with dozens of whips, and they can't get out of bed for ten days and a half months.Can you coordinate with E Guogong and the others, can you write down the beating first, and let the students finish the exam first. "

What Wen Yanbo mentioned is very interesting. Although these frail scholars don't have a good capacity for alcohol, they still have a good amount of alcohol. Even if they know that they are committing crimes at night, they still have to drink a few pots with their friends, and by the way, make a few impromptu songs Poetry, in their eyes, can live up to the word "Xiaoyao".

But their sour words are a bunch of shit in the eyes of Yuchi Jingde and Liu Hongji, who can't read all the characters. To them, no matter what your background is, no matter what you do, if you commit a crime, you have to be beaten, so that These guys have a good memory and know what is the king's law.

"In this way, Duke Yu, I remember that there are several restaurants near the Juxian Hall, and told those students that if they become addicted to alcohol at night, they can go there to solve it. Gu turned around and told Duke E and the others that after the curfew, troops were sent to block those streets. As long as they don't come out, it's not considered a night crime. But you also have to send someone to restrain those students and don't cause trouble, otherwise, you will be dealt with severely."

The current curfew system in Chang'an is very good. Regardless of the government and the people's restraint, it is the basic guarantee to ensure the normal operation of the city. Let alone Li Chengqian, even the emperor will not easily change this system.

Besides, blindly accommodating those students will not only allow him to teach the facts, but also breed their sourness. These people can be used, but they can't be used to it. Appear.

Wen Yanbo also knew that the prince had taken care of him to the utmost, and these students finally didn't have to worry about their butts anymore.As for him personally, he no longer had to look at the faces of those two old scumbags, Yuchi Jingde and Liu Hongji.

"The old minister thanked His Highness for your kindness on behalf of those students." After speaking, he led Li Chengqian to have a look at the examination room. Old Wen was a funny person, and listening to him made people tireless.

The Gongyuan in the South Courtyard is currently the largest examination room in the Tang Dynasty. Along the middle road in the Gongyuan, there are mainly buildings such as Mingyuan Building, Gongtang, Jukui Pavilion and Huijing Hall.

On the east and west sides, there are more than 9000 low test sheds called "number sheds".Watchtowers were also built at the four corners of the Gongyuan.What's more interesting is that the tribute courtyard is surrounded by thorns, so there is a saying of "locking thorns and tribute test".

After looking around, Li Chengqian, who was satisfied, walked outside, while Wen Yanbo beside him said: "I remember Wang Gui once said that the instructions are detailed, the cashier only agrees, and the minister is not as good as Wen Yanbo. Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with the reputation. Scholars, you Qing will hold a grand ceremony for the country, father, emperor and Gu are at ease."

Who doesn't know that the crown prince never commented easily on the officials in the DPRK, not only because of his status, but more importantly, the crown prince's vision is so high that he can give him a compliment, which is a great compliment to Wen Yanbo face.

The old man also stroked his beard and replied: "Your Highness, it is absurd. It is a blessing for the old minister to preside over a spring for the court. You know that the old minister is getting old. I don't know when, ah." Before he could finish speaking, the old man turned his head Just fell down.

When Li Chengqian turned his head, he saw that the old man was knocked down because he stepped on the stone slab, and he broke his face in hunger, along with his feet and the two front teeth that accompanied him all his life.

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you quickly help Duke Yu up and send him to the Imperial Hospital." After hearing the crown prince's loud shout, the stunned crowd came to their senses, and sent the old man away in a panic go out.
