Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 232 The Arrogance of the Children of the Aristocratic Family

Zhang Dada himself was framed by his boss with a background and lost his job, and left the big city in despair. After hearing about Xiao Rang's experience, he felt even more injustice.

Xiao Rang followed Wei County Magistrate to Pai County, and after serving as a meritorious officer in the county government, he also worked hard and worked hard to manage the official affairs of the Pai County Government.

It stands to reason that for a person like Xiao Rang, County Magistrate Wei should rely heavily on him, but Xiao Rang came from a poor family, and the children of a family like County Magistrate Wei have always looked down on him.

A few days ago, County Magistrate Wei asked Xiao Rang to go to Tushiqi’s village to collect miscellaneous taxes. Xiao Rang argued a few words, thinking that Tushiqi had already borne too much miscellaneous taxes, and he was very respectful to Datang, so he shouldn’t just stare at Let them rip off.

Xiao Rang's objection made County Magistrate Wei unable to step down for a while, but County Magistrate Wei still sent other heroes to Tu Shiqi's village.

The last thing was exactly as Xiao Rang said, because of long-term oppression, Tu Shiqi's village rebelled against Datang.

County magistrate Wei had already prepared the county's troops to suppress it, but he didn't expect that this time because the oppression was too severe, the entire Tushi tribe in the north rebelled together.

Now this is not a problem that can be solved by one county in Pai County. While writing a letter to the Anxi Protectorate for help, Wei County Magistrate ordered his subordinates to concoct charges and send Xiao Rang to prison.

Xiao Rang never expected that he would be arrested and thrown into prison after admonishing County Magistrate Wei. The Facao of the county government took out the confession of his colleagues and placed the blame on Xiao Rang for forcing against Tu Shiqiren.

Xiao Rang never flatters and flatters on weekdays, and looks down on those colleagues in the county government who recite poems all day long and flirt with flattery.

Originally, he thought that he was capable enough to handle the government affairs of Pai County, so magistrate Wei couldn't do without him.

Unexpectedly, Tu Shiqi rebelled, and he, the person who advised the magistrate Wei not to exploit Tu Shiqi, was falsely accused and imprisoned.

After Xiao Rang was imprisoned, he cried and cried all day long, telling the jailer his grievances, and always saying that he was sorry for his old mother who supported him to study.

Waited until Zhang Keda was also imprisoned, and was assigned to the same cell as Xiao Rang.

After listening to Xiao Rang's experience, Zhang Dada also thought of his own experience, and felt even more uneasy.

The imperial examinations had already been held in the Tang Dynasty, but the imperial examinations in this era are still places where children from aristocratic families compete for fame.

It is too difficult for ordinary children from poor families to pass the imperial examination.

The Sui and Tang dynasties were the initial stage of imperial examinations, and the system was far less rigorous than that of later generations.Moreover, all ministers presided over the imperial examinations. Even in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when the imperial examination system was the strictest, cases of imperial examination fraud still occurred from time to time.

Datang's imperial examinations did not have a system of ambiguous names, which means that examiners can not only see the papers, but also the candidates' names.

However, the selection of scholars in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was based on talent, which itself was much more subjective than the stereotyped selection of scholars in later generations. At this time, the personal preferences of the examiners can determine whether they can be admitted.

Therefore, the scholars of the Tang Dynasty respected the chief examiner very much, and they were honored as teachers. In the court, the chief examiner and his disciples would also be regarded as a party by default.

Under this system, it is naturally much easier for a child from an aristocratic family to be selected than a child from a poor family.

The children of Jingzhao Wei, like County Magistrate Wei, have family elders who are officials in the court. As long as they build up a little momentum, they can easily be admitted to Jinshi.

But if ordinary children from poor families want to become a Jinshi, they must make a name for themselves in the literary world of the capital, and they must "do the papers" with the court ministers, that is, they must constantly send their works to the court ministers' homes.

Even Du Fu, the poet sage praised by later generations, failed to pass the imperial examinations several times. In the end, he had to write "Da Li Fu" and presented it to Xuanzong before he got official status, and those awarded were all insignificant officials.

This was still in the Xuanzong period when talent was more valued. In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, a literary giant like Han Yu failed the imperial examination three times, and finally got recommended by submitting papers to the former prime minister, and finally won the Jinshi.

Those who were able to make a name for themselves in the capital and finally passed the Jinshi examination were all from poor families with some background.It is not easy to live in the capital. If you want to be famous, you have to stay in the capital continuously, and you have to participate in social entertainment among scholars to improve your reputation.

Xiao Rang is just an ordinary boy from a poor family, and he couldn't survive in the capital, so he came to Bai County with Wei County Magistrate.

The more Zhang Keda thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. He posted Xiao Rang's energy on the forum, and players near Bai County asked for help.

It was originally just an act of loyalty from Zhang Dada, but he didn't expect this post to become popular on the forum!
Pai County is not far from Kucha. After reading the post, the players in Kucha felt righteous indignation!
After inquiring about it in Kucha, the many evil deeds of the County Magistrate Wei surfaced even more.

Exploiting the common people, killing the good and pretending to be meritorious, this county magistrate has not done a few good things since he took office, but Pai County can pay enough rent and mediocrity every year. If it weren't for the An Lushan rebellion, the county magistrate Wei would have been promoted and left long ago.

Thinking of this, many players became even more angry, and the players in Kucha spontaneously organized an operation to rescue Zhang Keda and Xiao Rang!

What is Jingzhao Webster?For the players, can the aristocratic family send them tasks?

That night, more than a dozen players set off and rushed to Pai County!

And Guo Xin, who was hoarding troops in Pai County, did not directly send troops to eliminate the Tushi cavalry, but sent envoys to the Tushi cavalry tribe to ask them the reason for their rebellion and listen to their grievances.

The Tushi cavalry was already afraid of the people of Tang Dynasty, and after seeing Guo Xin's emissary, he even cried out about his experience.

Hearing that it was County Magistrate Wei who forced Tushi Qiren back, Guo Xin finally understood why his uncle said it was difficult to govern Anxi.

Not only Wei county magistrate, there are too many such county magistrates under the Anxi Protectorate.

Exploiting the people for fish and meat really turned the people against them, and it was the Anxi Protectorate who finally came to put down the rebellion.

If there are people in the court, they can be promoted back to the court if they have accumulated enough political achievements.

If there is no one in the court, then concentrate on making money, wait for the opportunity to bribe the superior, and transfer to a better place as an official.

Guo Xin himself is upright, but the complicated situation in the court now makes it impossible for him to attack County Magistrate Wei.

County magistrate Wei also understood this truth. After welcoming Guo Xin, he found that the Jiedu envoy remained indifferent and didn't take it seriously. He was still feasting and having fun in the county government office.

His subordinates asked worriedly: "Master Guo, Guo Liuhou seems to be dissatisfied with our visit to the county. I heard that he sent envoys to contact the Tushi cavalry. Will he cause trouble for our county government?"

County magistrate Wei smiled and said, "Looking for trouble? His uncle is a martial artist, and the Taiyuan Guo family is just a general!"

County magistrate Wei said again: "I, Jingzhao Wei, are full-fledged officials. My uncle has already paid homage to the prime minister. Does he dare to kill me after Guo Liu?"

"If you want to ask the crime, let Xiao Rang in the cell take the blame."
