I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 212 The restaurant of the big man can actually talk about state affairs (seeking subscription)

Both Zhang Anshi and Bingji are down-to-earth people, and Liu He is planning behind them.

The matter of the imperial examinations moved forward very quickly.

After Bingji and Liu He met, only three days later, the announcement that the imperial examination was to be used to select Langguan was posted in the streets and alleys of the village.

As soon as this proclamation was announced, it immediately attracted the publicity of good people.

One spread to ten, ten to a hundred, probably only half a day later, the matter has already been spread among the officials in Chang'an City.

In the proclamation, apart from the exam questions not being mentioned, the rest of the rules are clearly explained.

So much so that the officials had to marvel at the thoughtfulness and fineness of the imperial court.

While sighing, the Lang officials also began to discuss one after another.

The restaurants in Chang'an City where Lang Guan often went were overcrowded, and everyone was discussing the imperial examination.

The waiter in the store was so frightened that he kept persuading him to "don't talk about state affairs", but it didn't work at all.

……

In a wine shop in Beichengguo, seven or eight Confucian scholars of different ages were sitting around on a couch, talking loudly.

The tea on the table has been refilled several times, and the tea leaves have already been steeped and tasteless-these teas plus some fried peas as a gift cost only a few dozen dollars.

But these Lang officials have been here for an hour or two.

The waiter at the wine shop came up to watch a few times, and seemed to want to tactfully issue an order to evict the guests, but seeing that the people who were speaking froth were all envoys wearing ribbons, they silently withdrew.

Lang Guan ranks six hundred stones and has no real power, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they are still dragons and phoenixes among people, so naturally they dare not offend.

Although they are dragons and phoenixes among people, the lives of Langguans are not necessarily rich.

If you are a young man who is alone, you will have more than enough food and money every month; but if you have a family and want to gain a foothold in Chang'an, you will inevitably have some difficulties in life.

Otherwise, these Langguans would not tolerate other people's eyes, and would just order a pot of tea to pass a few hours.

These Langguans are all in their 50s and [-]s, and they are not considered old, but there are talented people from generation to generation, and there are not many opportunities for them to stand out.

In the future, if they can become magistrates in a poor county, they will already have a prosperous official career, and most people may only be able to waste their lives doing nothing.

Now, when they learned that the imperial court had implemented the imperial examination, they couldn't help but get excited.

This is an opportunity after all.

They all think they are talented and have the ability to control the world. Compared with the princes in the court, they just lack a little luck and opportunity.

Now, with this luck and opportunity in front of them, how could they not be tempted?
"I see that the proclamation clearly stated that this imperial examination will be held in Mingguang Palace. I remember that Mingguang Palace has been useless for decades. I heard ghostly cries coming from it!" A fat man said with a look of fear on his face.

"As long as I can stand out from the imperial examinations and get promoted, let alone the gloomy Mingguang Palace, let me go to the underworld. If I can come back alive, I will never say a word." A thin man said indignantly.

"Don't talk nonsense, such nonsense will easily lead to disaster. The county magistrate and the general will come to the examination room in person. Couldn't they still suppress those evil spirits?" A pockmarked official said disdainfully.

The words of Mazi Langguan attracted everyone's unanimous agreement.

"Do you have any gossip, what is the subject of this imperial examination?" Fat Lang asked in a low voice, and he knew that he was quite rich just by looking at his figure. I'm afraid he wanted to go some crooked ways to ask this question. .

"Don't think about it any more. The county magistrate personally came up with this topic on the spot. I'm afraid no one but the county magistrate will know about it." Disdainful.

"That's not necessarily the case, as long as I can buy the Lang officials or internal officials around the emperor to tell me what books the emperor has been reading recently and what sentences he has left marks on, I'm afraid I can make a good guess. "

After Fat Langguan said these two sentences, the atmosphere of the banquet changed instantly. Those well-dressed Langguans all looked lively, as if they were wondering whether their connections could be connected with Weiyang Palace.

Find acquaintances, go through the back door, entrust connections... These are the most common rules of the Han Empire.

Liu He's original intention was to create a relatively fair opportunity for the imperial examination, so that every official could participate in the competition.

But many people are thinking about how to destroy it, which is also a bit ironic.

He thinks that breaking the rules can benefit himself, but he doesn't realize that he is benefiting someone with a higher status.

"The left is just to let us disassemble and comment on the government affairs in a casual way. It's not uncommon in normal times. It's all just drawing a gourd according to the same situation." He wanted to rely on his "truth based on facts" to rise to the top.

"But the previous ones were just face-to-face countermeasures, and there was no need to write at all. I heard that the archaeological countermeasures in Taixue are only deaf, and it may not be true to get the armor department. But this time, it must be written. It must not be easy. !"

As soon as Ma Zilang finished these few words, before other people could refute or echo, the sound of bowls and chopsticks being smashed on the table came to everyone's ears.

Only then did they see that there was another person with his back facing them in the corner on the second floor.

This person looked very strange, wearing coarse linen clothes, a bamboo hat on his head, and the pair of straw sandals on his feet were also covered with mud, and some places were almost worn out.

The skin exposed outside the clothes was actually similar to the color of the five baht coin, or even a little darker.

It seems that there are only two bowls of bean rice and a small plate of food on his case, but he just ate with great relish.

The combination of these characteristics shows that this person is a peddler who haunts the fields, street corners and roadsides, and has no qualifications to speak to the officials.

To put it more seriously, if any official wants to punish him intentionally, there are a hundred ways to make him suffer.

However, this strange place is not here.

But it was because he could vaguely see the outline of the bamboo slips in his baggage.

This complicates matters.

They are all scholars, and the officials have to be a little bit jealous.

The sound of throwing the bowl just now was obviously this person, expressing his dissatisfaction with what Lang Guan said.

Or disdain.
