Dajin royal family

Chapter 575
At the end of August, Taiyuan suddenly became lively.The reason is the same, all the selected scholars from all over the country gathered in Taiyuan City to take part in the imperial examination, and there were nearly 600 people.Under such circumstances, the security of Taiyuan City has been greatly strengthened, and there are guards patrolling all over the place day and night to prevent people from picking quarrels and provoking troubles.

On the surface, they are selected from all over the country, but in fact, they are still selected by Zhongzheng. Most of the people who can come to Taiyuan are from some aristocratic families, and only a small part of them are from poor families.Facing such a situation, even though Jiang Chengxiao was prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

A long way to go.

Due to too many scholars participating, as a last resort, Jiang Chengxiao sent troops to set up a camp outside the city as an examination place.

Every scholar who enters the city to take part in the imperial examination must present relevant documents and certificates, and once found to be fraudulent, he will be imprisoned immediately.

During this period of time, the inns, restaurants, teahouses and other places in Taiyuan City were booming, and scholars gathered almost every day to discuss matters related to the imperial examination.

"Liangzhi, is this Taiyuan? Although it doesn't look as prosperous as Luoyang, it is crowded with people, and the people's faces are full of smiles. There is no suffering from military disasters. It is really a pure land in troubled times." A slightly shabby dressed The scholar held the package in his arms tightly, looked at the scene on the street, and said to Chu Liangzhi beside him.

The scholar next to him had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a reddish complexion, and a slightly short stature.

"After all, the Northern Jin Dynasty crushed the Three Kingdoms in the South, and it would be no problem to unify the world in time. It is conceivable." Chu Liangzhi nodded.

Xu Zongjing nodded, "If you can pass the imperial examination this time, you will definitely seek peace for your hometown."

The two of them were born in the land of Bashu, and they came to Taiyuan this time to serve as officials to benefit their hometown.Bashu has been in war for too long. When the Northern Jin Dynasty took Bashu, the common people and the scholars with the world at heart saw the hope of peace.

"Let's go, find a place to live first."

After the two entered the city, they looked for inns, but after walking street after street, almost all the inns were full, and they couldn't afford the rent of the few remaining inns.

The two stood by the side of the street, looking blankly at the passers-by, feeling a sense of defeat as if they were living on the street.

"Liangzhi, what should we do?" Xu Zongjing looked at Chu Liangzhi in a daze.

"I do not know either."

They were not familiar with the place, and they came to Taiyuan from Bashu, and their money was almost spent, so how could they have any spare money.

Their situation is not unique. Many poor families from remote counties are like this. This issue was also seen by the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were in charge of the imperial examinations. The relevant memorials were sent to Jiang Chengxiao's case immediately.

Therefore, Jiang Chengxiao ordered that the imperial court funded and arranged for the scholars to live in Honglu Temple.In this regard, the humble scholars who heard the news praised King Zhao's benevolence one after another.

Most of the problems are discovered in practice, such as this small problem this time.They hadn't expected that the inn would be full. The next time the imperial examination was held, the imperial court might need to build relevant houses for poor scholars to live in.

Hanging Palace.

Jiang Chengxiao was dealing with government affairs, and he was focusing on the imperial examination recently.However, with the complete pacification of Bashu, the imperial court still needs to dispatch food to Bashu to help the people, hoping that the people will return to their hearts.

In addition, Li Yaoshi's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding the middle of Shu also needed food and grass.

Regarding the food matter this time, Zheng Shanyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, quickly completed the relevant arrangements.

Compared with last year's two battlefields in the Central Plains and Guanzhong, where there were nearly 25 army food and grass, this time Li Yaoshi's soldiers, horses, food and grass can fully support it.

Furthermore, as long as the Bashu Hanzhong can recover, the food will be harvested continuously.

"This imperial examination is a major event for our dynasty. The two ministers must remember not to take it lightly, and must be perfect." Jiang Chengxiao looked at Pei Ju, Minister of Rites, and Yu Shinan, Minister of Officials.

"Of order." The two agreed quickly.

Pei Ju said: "Your Majesty, in this imperial examination, all the scholars from Kyushu entered Taiyuan, which is enough to prove the prosperity of our dynasty."

Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile: "The three southern countries are nothing but thieves, and scholars all over the world have a steelyard in their hearts."

This is actually not difficult to understand. How can a scholar be willing to let go of such an opportunity?

Looking at the world today, anyone with a little brain can understand the momentum of the Northern Jin Dynasty. If they don't go on the bright road, do they want to be loyal to Yu Wenshu, Xiao Tong and others?
Furthermore, do Yu Wenshu have the guts to play the imperial examination?

Jiang Chengxiao was not optimistic about this in his heart. Liang Guo, which was built on the foundation of the Jiangnan gentry, had no capital at all, let alone the strength to hold the imperial examination.

Thinking of Xiao Tong, he remembered several battle reports that Li Yaoshi gave him not long ago.The letter told him that compared to Xu Jun, Liang Jun's strength was even worse!

Yu Shinan said: "Your Majesty, a few hours ago, the officials of the official department told the ministers that many scholars from Qingzhou also came. Do you want to accept them?"

This time the imperial examination is open to the whole world. In theory, people from all over the country can come, but there is one very fatal thing, that is, officials must recommend it.

It's okay to say that the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River have Yu Shinan in the court, but it's hard to say that in Qingzhou.Because only Jiang Chengxiao knew about the current situation in Qingzhou, Yu Shinan was a little uncertain about this matter.

"Do they have officials to recommend?"

"Some have, some don't."

"Then follow the regulations." Jiang Chengxiao didn't want to expose the situation in Qingzhou yet.

Not long ago, Shenju sent a letter telling him that Qingzhou is gradually disarming its army, vigorously developing its navy, and at the same time persuading farmers to grow mulberry trees.

Jiang Chengxiao was very happy about this, and wrote a letter to praise the godly move, and at the same time told him that if he lacked money for the development of the navy, he could tell himself at any time.

The recovery of Qingzhou is only a matter of time. If Shenju can give him a stable Qingzhou, that will be the real joy.

"I understand." Yu Shinan arched his hands, paused, and then continued: "Your Majesty, Wang Ziheng and Wang Zike have been a little slack in their homework recently."

"Oh, what's going on?" Jiang Chengxiao was taken aback. Sometimes he was too busy to take care of his sons, even though he would try his best to ask a few questions every day.

Yu Shinan hurriedly said: "I heard that the king allowed the two little highnesses to raise rabbits?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao understood, and his face turned dark, "Is it because they are playing with things and losing their minds?"

"Not really, it's just unavoidable to be distracted." Yu Shinan dun Dun taught: "The king loves his son very much, and I can understand it, but jade can't be made into a weapon. The two little highnesses are nobles of the heavenly family, so remember not to spoil them."

"Yu Aiqing is right, I just wrote it down."

At this time, Pei Ju smiled and said: "Your Majesty, speaking of distraction, I have something to do."

"Pei Aiqing, please tell me."

Pei Ju gathered his sleeves, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty Yu is taking care of the affairs of the bureaucracy while taking care of the homework of the young highnesses. I am afraid that he is not capable enough, and there will inevitably be some omissions. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Master Pei, the old man is full of energy, don't worry about it." Yu Shinan rolled his eyes.

Pei Ju said, "How can this be done? Master Yu is a pillar of the imperial court, so how can you wait so slowly."

"What Pei Aiqing said makes sense, but Gu has indeed made some omissions." Jiang Chengxiao said thoughtfully.

"For heaven's family affairs, the old minister will not hesitate to do anything!" Yu Shinan said with a righteous face.

He greeted Pei Ju's eighteen generations of female ancestors in his heart.At the same time, he secretly regretted why he brought up the matter of the two young highnesses in front of Pei Ju, an old fox.

Jiang Chengxiao said distressedly: "Master Yu, this matter is not done properly by Gu, which made you suffer. How about this, let Liu Yuanyuan supervise the homework of Heng'er and Ke'er in the future."

Yu Shinan opened his mouth; Your Majesty, listen to me, I can run and jump, and I can definitely do two jobs at once!
Unfortunately, Jiang Chengxiao didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Pei Aiqing, it's so comforting to see you helping each other and loving each other."

Pei Ju smiled and said: "Your Majesty, an old minister and Mr. Yu are ministers in the same palace. This is what a veteran should do."

The sound reached Yu Shinan's ears, and he almost vomited.

Pei Ju, you are really shameless!
Jiang Chengxiao laughed out loud, as if he was really happy.

Of course, he was really happy too.

Not long after, Pei Ju and Yu Shinan bid farewell and left the Chui Gong Hall.

The two walked in Zhaowang Palace, one in front and one behind, swinging their sleeves.Pei Ju flicked his sleeves in a chic way, opening and closing them widely.Yu Shinan's swing was relatively small, as if he couldn't let go.

Suddenly, Yu Shinan slowed down, waiting for Pei Ju to come up.

"Master Pei, I really want to thank you for thinking about me." Yu Shinan's expression was touched.

"Ah!" Pei Ju said righteously: "Master Yu is too out of touch, everyone is for the court, for the king, and even for the people of the world! No matter what, I can't just watch Master Yu work hard!"

Pei Ju, you are so fucking shameless!

The corner of Yu Shinan's mouth twitched, "Master Pei, if there is a chance, this old man must be considerate of Mr. Pei."

Hearing this, Pei Ju immediately took a few steps back and looked at Yu Shinan defensively.

Yu Shinan looked at him suspiciously.

"Ahem, Mr. Yu, this old man has no habit of cutting off his sleeves. Let me take my leave." After speaking, he left in a hurry.

After a few breaths.

"Pei Ju go away!" Yu Shinan chased after him with an angry face.

Several court ladies could not help but widen their eyes when they saw the two important officials running and chasing in King Zhao's palace.

This scene, no matter how you look at it, is a bit weird.
