I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

But in the end, Li Shimin still gritted his teeth.

"Jade is not cut, not a device."

he sighed softly,

"Forget it! Let him go outside to experience and experience, and see what he will look like when he comes back."

After a short pause, Li Er emphasized:
"But what I said is ugly! This prince is not only my son, but also the foundation of the country. Don't make any mistakes for me!"

"Otherwise, you don't have to come back!"

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong." Xu Fenglei grinned.

"Don't be too happy, the empress can't pass that test, even if I support you, it's useless."

Li Shimin snorted,
"Let's not talk about that."

"Here, all the examination papers have been evaluated, and the top 24 will be selected and listed as Jinshi."

"However, to be honest, the rest of the papers are also well answered. If we really want to talk about it, there must be 40 people who can be officials. Among them, the mediocre ones are enough to replace some officials in the court who are vegetarians."

Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.

"That's true. After all, he is a young man with potential. He is much better than those old dudes in the court who are eating and drinking."

he said,

"However, there are still only 24 people who can be selected as officials. This is a certain death. You can't add just because the few outstanding ones are behind. The word "Jinshi" is worthless."

"Of course, when the scale of the imperial examination increases in the future and there are more candidates, it is also possible to raise the number from 24 to 36."

Li Shimin nodded approvingly.

"Yes, Jinshi is precious and cannot be easily changed."

He commanded,

"I leave it to you, choose an auspicious day, and let's release the ranking!"

Xu Fenglei should claim it, holding the examination paper in his arms.

"Your Majesty, I have one more request."

"Talk." Li Shimin rubbed the butt of his cigarette twice, and threw it into the ashtray.

"I would like to select some of the candidates who failed the rankings, as well as those who were selected as Jinshi with difficult conditions, as the teachers of the Datang Academy."

Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,

"You also know that the school is about to enter the registration stage, and the start of school is just a blink of an eye, but it's really hard to find a teaching teacher!"

"So I thought, select some of these candidates and serve as teachers in the palace, and I will pay them a monthly salary. Not much, but enough for them to live in Chang'an."

"Those who have already passed the exam and those from a wealthy family may not look down on this meager salary, but I also found that some of the candidates are peasant children, and it is very difficult for them to stay in Chang'an."

"Changan housing is expensive, rice is also expensive!"

Of course, the housing price in Chang'an is expensive, and there are some reasons why he bought it.

That can't be helped!
In order to make a profit in bank investment, real estate speculation is the easiest and the highest rate of return...

"Well, I also saw it just now. There are a few papers, which are written by peasant children."

Li Shimin nodded and agreed,
"They have nothing to rely on in Chang'an, and life is not easy!"

"It's up to you to be their reliance! You don't need to bear the salary of the teachers in the academy. You can do everything. What is the court doing?"

"Look for the Ministry of Households to approve a note and ask them to allocate funds! This year's treasury is still full!"

Xu Fenglei grinned.

"According to the order."

……

a few days later.

The sun is shining brightly.

The south of Chang'an City, which was originally deserted, is full of people's voices at this moment. Countless people are looking at the imperial list and discussing it.

"Hey! The imperial examinations are going to be released today! I heard that the imperial examinations were created by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Our Majesty has started it again. It is actually an exam! As long as you pass the exam, you will be a Jinshi and you can become an official directly!"

"Huh? Is there such a good thing? If I knew it earlier, I would try it!"

"Fuck you! At your level, you can pass the exam by holding back six words in seven days? Those who can take the exam are all Wenqu stars! Understand?"

"..."

If you are good at learning, you will be an official. Being an official has been the highest pursuit of Chinese people for thousands of years!
Now that I heard that the imperial court can take the imperial examination to be an official, and you can become an official if you pass the exam, then naturally you have to join in the fun and lead the world.

After all, this is a newly opened road that allows ordinary people to become high officials!
Among the crowd, the dozens of candidates were already inexplicably excited and looking forward to it.

Among them, of course, was the peasant youth wearing straw sandals and eating naan bread in his mouth.

He's been here since morning!Even if the sun is fierce, he will never leave!

Just occupy this top position, waiting for the official release of the list!

Dangdang Dangdang!
Dangdang Dangdang!
A row of Jinwu guards came along the way beating gongs and drums and playing festive music.

In an instant, countless eyes turned over.

I saw Xu Fenglei holding a scroll of list in his hand, and slowly stepped forward.

"Students meet the examiner!"

"Meet the examiner!"

All the candidates bowed their hands and saluted Xu Fenglei.

Although the two parties did not have a substantial master-student relationship, Xu Fenglei also acquiesced in their 'student' claiming to be.

This is an unspoken rule that will naturally appear after the examination system is shifted to the imperial examination system.

Xu Fenglei handed the list to a Jinwu guard with a smile, and said,
"The country needs talents, and the court needs talents!"

"No matter who you are or what your background is, as long as you have real talents and learning, even if you are still farming in the morning, you can kowtow to the Holy One in the afternoon. There is a poem that goes, 'You are the farmer in the morning, and you are in the Tianzitang in the evening'!"

"I hope that such popular stories will appear more and more from now to the future!"

"Let's put it on the list!"

Whoa!

The two Jinwu guards opened the imperial list and nailed it to the board.

Swish swish!
In an instant, the imperial list became the focus of everyone's attention!
"Liu Yun of Wannian County... Liu Yun of Wannian County! Hahaha, I won, I won! No. 15!"

"Chang'an Lu Lin, No. 19! Sure enough, I said that I can win! This time I can make friends with my father, he rewarded me with two houses!"

"Oh my god...I'm actually the No. 20 fourth place, the last place! This is too lucky!"

"I won, No. 7 in the second class! Hahaha... so cool! Everyone present today, I invite everyone to drink, and the Guiyue Tower is reserved for everyone! Come and come, I will pay for the wine! I will pay!!"

Suddenly, many people cheered and jumped up, extremely excited!
The atmosphere suddenly became lively!

However, the excitement is the excitement, and there is no one who faints directly, or who is dumbfounded like Fan Jin.

After all, it was the first imperial examination. Those who won the Jinshi were all smooth successes. They were not people who had been defeated and defeated repeatedly, and finally went ashore in their seventies and eighties.

Between the two, the state of mind is naturally different.

However, as long as the imperial examination continues, there will be more and more cases of fainting, stupidity, and madness...

Some people are happy, but others are naturally sad.

The success rate this time is already extremely high, but more than half of them still lost their names.

"How come, my name, my name..."

"Look for it again, there must be some, look for it again!"

"How could I fail! My essay is so good! I..."

"Ah! I can't accept it! I... I can't accept it!"

"It's over! My father will definitely beat me to death! He's blowing out all the bullshit, and the banquet is all over! I didn't win, but I didn't win, woo woo woo... It's over! It's a shame!"

"..."

A group of people were leaning in the corner, their expressions extremely depressed, and their aura had fallen into an absolute trough!
Take a look, look again!
I'm afraid I've missed the information on the imperial list!

But unfortunately, there are only 24 names in total, and it takes less than two breaths to browse through.

no, just no...

For them, the onlookers also expressed their sympathy and comforted them:
"Young man, winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. You have already won many people by being selected for the exam..."

"Yeah! We don't even have a chance to take the exam! Don't be discouraged, make adjustments, brothers and sisters will wait for you to fight again!"

"Yes, yes... Didn't the master just say please drink? If you don't drink, it's not worth it. Let's have a drink with him!"

"..."

There are countless words of comfort, but no words can smooth out the feeling of failure.

Especially when there are people cheering around, the sense of frustration becomes even stronger!

Scientific research, cruelty is here.

Maybe one second he was a classmate and friend, the next second he became an official, and you are still standing still.

friend?
Perhaps still, but there is already a pathetic thick barrier between them.

Xu Fenglei's eyes fell on the peasant youth.

This kid was standing at the very front, his skin was still very dark, it was hard not to notice him.

But at this moment, he was pointing at the imperial list, his expression was not the slightest bit of joy, but rather sad.

"What, did you hit it?"

Xu Fenglei said with a smile,

"Now, you can tell me your name."

When the peasant youth heard Xu Fenglei's initiative to cultivate culture, he couldn't help but smile shyly, bowed his hands and said:
"Examiner, the student's name is Xu Yan."

Xu Fenglei was taken aback.

He turned his head to look at the imperial list, but saw the word 'Xu Yan', which was high above the others!
"Xu Yan, head armor No.3! Oh, I'm going!"

Xu Fenglei said in surprise,

"Sure, young man, you're going to be a flower hunter!"

"It's really gratifying!"

It seems that Li Er's level is still online!This kid is straightforward at first glance. If he is an official, he must be diligent and conscientious!
"Don't dare, don't dare."

Xu Yan waved his hands again and again, mocking himself,

"I heard that Tanhualang requires a handsome appearance, like a student, how can he be qualified to be Tanhua?"

Xu Fenglei was a little stunned and sized him up.

"As you said, you are not ugly!"

He continued,
"It's just a little darker and a little thinner, but the facial features are still correct!"

"I promise, you are the type that His Majesty likes! You can be your Tanhua Lang with peace of mind!"

"In a few days, His Majesty will hold a grand court meeting. At that time, he will formally summon you Jinshi, and hand-picked the number one scholar, the second place, and the best candidate! You all have the honor of walking through the gate and entering the palace once!"

"On weekdays, only the emperor can walk through this main gate! I haven't walked through it a few times!"

Xu Yan smiled foolishly and scratched his head.

"By the way, I saw that you looked worried just now, and thought you failed the exam."

Xu Fenglei said again,
"Since I won, and the ranking is so high, I should be happy!"

Xu Yan pinched his nose.

Seeing his movements, Xu Fenglei knew a little bit in his heart.

This action is usually made subconsciously when people are not confident.

"Is there something unspeakable?"

he asked.

Xu Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"The dry food I brought... I'm done."

he whispered,

"Students...students have to go home, but there is not much food at home, and all brothers and sisters have to eat."

"The student has already used up all the savings in the family when he came back, so, so..."

As he spoke, he was silent.

"I see."

Xu Fenglei nodded repeatedly and said with a smile,

"This matter is easy to solve."

"I happen to be announcing something—"

"come!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
"Silence!" Jin Wuwei rang the bronze bell and shouted.

The noisy street quickly quieted down.

Those who lost their names in Sun Shan, no matter how depressed they were at the moment, stood up and looked at Xu Fenglei.

There was even a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Could it be that there is still a turning point? !

"Let me just say a few words."

Xu Feng said loudly,

"First of all, congratulations to the 24 candidates who passed the exam. You have successfully obtained the status of Jinshi."

"Soon, you will be summoned by His Majesty. Among them, the champion, the second place, and the third prize will also be hand-picked. This is a great honor! It is also a great pinnacle in your life, a great event!"

"You, even if you are officials in the same dynasty as me, what I want to tell you is that this world is ours and yours, but in the end, it is yours."

"Young people are the hope of the country! In the near future, you will all become the mainstay of the imperial court! I wish you great achievements and leave your name in history!"

clap clap clap!
In an instant, there was thunderous applause.

"Student, thank you examiner!"

"Thank you examiner!"

The 24 Jinshi were beaming and saluted Xu Fenglei one after another.

Seeing their high-spirited appearance, no matter whether it is the crowd watching or the candidates who failed the exam, there is deep envy in their eyes.

One step to the sky!

"well."

Xu Fenglei waved his hand to signal them to stop, then turned his eyes to the rest of the people, and said,
"Then, I have something to say to the candidates who did not perform well this time."

"Imperial examinations are not the only way out. Failure always runs through life, and often, success is often only needed once. Maybe you are all late bloomers."

"Don't be depressed, don't be discouraged, your road is still long!"

Some words of encouragement were spoken, but it did make those frustrated candidates relax a bit.

After all, these words are used by later generations to encourage candidates who failed the college entrance examination, and they are used every year, which is enough to prove its comforting effect, which is still good.

"Here, I have a path for everyone to consider."

Xu Fenglei said again,
"The Great Tang Academy, which is where your exams will take place behind you, is about to welcome a group of Mongolian children!"

"As for the Academy, there is an urgent need for a group of knowledgeable and insightful teachers."

"Everyone who is educated, if you are interested, you can sign up for the selection. Once you are selected, you will be provided with board and lodging, and you will still be paid every month! Your Majesty has a decree that the salary of the teachers in the academy will be paid directly by the household department! That is to say——" "Teacher Xuegong is also an official!"
