Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 29 All the children of officials above the fifth rank will participate in the Bietou test
As soon as the court meeting was over, a group of Song officials had already begun to chatter before they left the palace.

"...What is Your Majesty trying to do? To make such absurd decrees."

"It's not absurd. If you want to come to the official family, you feel that the court has lost its vitality..."

Hearing the description of exuberant vigor, several officials grinned.

The gods are so full of vigor, just the gang of second-generation officials and third-generation officials, one or two idlers, running dogs and cockfighting.

If there are one or two honest and non-provoking housekeepers, they can be regarded as the leaders of the children of officials and eunuchs, okay?
"This time, the officials let all the children of officials above the fifth rank in Tokyo, as long as they are over ten years old.

All of them need to participate in the Bietou test in order to participate in the current examination at the end of next month.Isn't this a joke? "

"Don't tell me the officials, those sons and daughters of officials and eunuchs have always been tricking people in Tokyo, playing tricks and running amok."

"Hehe, maybe it was the only son of the Gao Taiwei's family who beat Cai Liulang three times a few days ago, causing a disturbance all over the city and annoying the officials..."

"That's why I made such a decree, which is to beat the officials and discipline my children to study well, so that there is no right or wrong."

"That's true, but the problem is, it's also said in the will.

As long as the sons and daughters of officials who have passed the Bietou test, no matter which subject they take part in the test, they can take the exam. "

"If those officials and eunuchs who think highly of themselves want to make up for it, go to the Jinshi and Mingjing Department to try their skills."

"I'm waiting for officials from the Ministry of Rites, I'm afraid I'll be so tired that I vomit blood..."

"You don't have to worry too much. Ming Jing may be able to have it, but Jinshi, just their gang of officials' children? Ha ha."

"Thirty old Mingjing, fifty young Jinshi, those are the children of officials and eunuchs between the age of ten.

It would be great if one or two of them can get ahead in Mingjing, Jinshi, tsk tsk..."

The eunuch standing at the entrance of the hall listened to the high-spirited talk of these Song Dynasty officials.

Couldn't help curling his lips, quietly entered the hall, and muttered to Yang Jian in a low voice.

Yang Jian quickly walked to the side of Zhao Ji who was standing and moving a little stiffly, and whispered the discussions of the officials outside the hall.

Zhao Ji couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth. "Alright, let them guess for themselves."

"In this way, naturally no one will think that I have used any tricks to inherit my legacy."

When Yang Jian heard this, his eyelids twitched wildly. Indeed, he was the only one who knew, but he had to keep his mouth shut.

Otherwise, it would be trivial for me to lose my head, and I am just a eunuch, a servant of the official family, and life and death can all be decided by the official's thoughts.

"The officials are sages, what's more, the officials did this for the sake of the officials' children, there is nothing wrong with it..."

Yang Jian's words also entered Zhao Ji's heart, he nodded slightly to Yang Jian in relief, and looked out of the palace gate.

The questions of this other test are quite simple, and it can even be said to be an open-book test.

That is, as long as the children of officials and eunuchs who can recite the whole text of "Thousand Characters" can take part in the provincial examination at the end of next month.

If you can't even recite a beginner's article like "Thousand Characters", then you still have to take the exam.

Zhao Ji remembered that when Yang Jian came to report to him about the academic situation of Gao Zhang's child, he had already mentioned it.

My own disciple has already been able to recite the entire text of "Thousand Characters".

In this way, the child Gao Zhang will definitely be able to pass the other test, then let him take the imperial examination for Jinshi, and at that time...

Zhao Ji suddenly turned his head, looked at Yang Jian, and showed a gentle and gratified smile towards this confidant tool man.

Shengsheng stunned Yang Jian on the spot with a smile, his heart was full of confusion, why did the officials laugh?

And laughing so much, it made my heart shudder, and I always felt that I was going to suffer.

"My dad is looking for me?"

Cai Laoliu, who was gnawing delicious pastries in the room, was eating a big piece when he heard a servant come to report.

Subconsciously shivering, he quickly stuffed the remaining pastries into his mouth to suppress his shock.

Since I went to Gaofu to learn from my teacher that day and came back, I have been staying at home honestly these days to grow up, and I really didn't do anything bad.

"Is my dad very upset?"

"The master is not unhappy, and the villain feels that the master seems very happy and can't wait."

Cai Yao, the sixth son, finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he should not suffer from flesh and blood today.

After wiping his grease on his mouth, Cai Laoliu hurried to his father's study.

As soon as he entered the study, he saw his father who was picking up a thin book and waved at him.

"Come here, Liulang, come here, remember to ask your father about your studies before.

You once said that you can already recite "Thousand Characters", right? "

"Ah, this..." Cai Laoliu's face froze, seeing the sharp eyes cast by his own father, he could only brace himself and say.

"My child does know how to recite some."

"How much will you carry?"

Cai Jing looked at the fat son who hadn't wiped off the oil stains on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was already a little displeased.

"Some..." Cai Laoliu wiped the sweat from the frightened forehead, and replied in a low voice.

"……a little bit?"

I am busy with government affairs, party struggles, intrigues, and corruption all day long...

Mr. Cai Daxiang, who was already so busy that he had no time to discipline the children, looked at the fat son suspiciously.

He simply sat down behind the table, raised his hand and pointed at Cai Laoliu, then pointed in front of himself.

"Come on, sit in front of your father and carry it on your back. Father will see how much you can carry."

Cai Laoliu, who had been gaining weight too fast, became nervous because he wanted to fall asleep when he read a book, and was full of energy when he ate.

"Father, the child has just had enough to eat and is a little sleepy, why don't you recite it later?"

"Um?!"

Seeing his father bulging his eyes full of fierce light, he looked like he was going to eat people.

One hand had already picked up the shiny and heavy ruler, and Cai Laoliu was sweating.

"The heavens and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are full and the sun and the moon are in full swing. The cold comes and the summer goes, autumn...autumn..."

"Autumn Harvest..." Cai Jing, whose face was darkened, couldn't help reminding Cai Laoliu, who was stuttering from memory.

"Autumn harvest, autumn harvest..."

"No more?" Cai Jing, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, started to grind his teeth.

"The autumn harvest is gone, Leap is a full year, law, law..."

"???" Cai Jing almost crooked his nose in anger, what the hell is it that he knows how to recite?

"You can't even recite ten sentences, how dare you tell Wei father that you can recite it?!"

"My boy only said he could recite it, but he didn't say he could recite everything." Cai Laoliu, who was very rebellious, couldn't help retorting.

The next moment, there was another crackling sound in Cai Xiangye's study, and Cai Laoliu's spirited ghost crying and howling...
