The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 70

He Ji used to be the teacher of Prince Zhao Yu, and now he is giving lectures at the Chongzheng Palace. He naturally knew the depth of ink in Zhao Yu's belly, so he was inevitably nervous. , in front of the world's students laughing generously, but this is an ancient system and must be done.

Ma Tingluan and Weng Yinglong, who are the deputy chief examiners, also knew Zhao Xuan's details.Although Ma Tingluan is pedantic, he has always flaunted himself by maintaining the orthodox imperial power, and he doesn't want to see me make up a poem to fool candidates, so his face is also nervous.As for Weng Yinglong, he was very calm, Lord Jia should be happy if the emperor made a fool of himself.

I know He Ji's thoughts, there is no panacea for this poem, it can be done quickly.But I am not that ignorant Zhao Yu, I am the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven.

"I specially composed a poem for this imperial examination. You are all of them, and you come to judge me." I read aloud, "Kyushu is angry and relies on wind and thunder, and it is sad that ten thousand horses are silent. I will make the gods cheer up, regardless of A drop of talent."

This is a miscellaneous poem written by Gong Zizhen, a poet of the Qing Dynasty. It is concise and to the point. It means that I advise the Emperor of Heaven to regain his spirit and not stick to a certain standard and send down more talents.Among them, I only changed one word, from "I persuade the Lord of Heaven to cheer up" in the original poem to "I make the Lord of Heaven to cheer up".Gong Zizhen is a courtier and can only persuade, but I am the emperor, so I used the word of order, and it also showed my determination to select talents without sticking to one pattern.

Everyone present is a writer who has read poetry and books, so he can naturally understand the meaning of this poem.

In an instant, everyone was immersed in the poem.

Although this poem is not a household name in later generations, it is very appropriate on this occasion.

After all, He Ji Ma Tingluan had a lot of experience, and he was the first to react. Both of them heaved a long sigh of relief, and said almost simultaneously: "Good poetry."

I glanced at the stunned Weng Yinglong, and thought, go back and tell Jia Sidao that I am the emperor Zhao Yu, not the incompetent crown prince Zhao Yu.

Kublai Khan in the north is ready to invade the south at any time. According to the progress of history, the Xiangyang War will be launched in more than two years. Once the Xiangyang War is lost, the Southern Song Dynasty will have no power to recover.As I travel, I can't predict whether the wheel of history will change. In short, time waits for no one. I must break the situation of the three powers as soon as possible, so as to deal with the mighty Mongolia wholeheartedly.

After a while, the examinees also understood the meaning of the poem. A middle-aged student from a poor family thought: "The emperor is worthy of descending to earth for the stars in the sky. He is eclectic, that is, regardless of his origin, he does not need to ask the examiner. Come on, I, a poor scholar, have hope this time."

"Kyushu is angry and relies on wind and thunder, and it is sad to see thousands of horses in silence. These two sentences are appropriate to current events, and the sentences are neat and natural."

"I make the Lord of Heaven rejuvenate, and send down talents of all kinds. The last two sentences have profound metaphors, and the way to value talents is also."

"This order shows the courage of the emperor. It is really a good poem. In the whole world, only the emperor can write such a heroic poem."

Everyone secretly praised in their hearts.

At this time, the candidate from a poor family suddenly came out of his seat, knelt down and kowtowed three times, crying uncontrollably: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, grassroots..."

I don't know what this candidate wants to express, maybe he thought of something from eclecticism.

Someone took the lead, and all the examinees couldn't help but knelt down and said, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

If it was out of courtesy before, then this time it came from the heart.

Seeing these heaven's favored children kneeling in front of me, I couldn't help feeling elated, enjoying this kind of worship, and didn't care to think about this pirated poem.

With a smile on his face, He Ji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what is the title of this poem?"

"Let's call it Xianchun Imperial Examination Congratulations." I laughed.

He Ji shouted: "Everyone, go back to your seats and stand up, and listen to the emperor's instructions."

"The topic of this exam is the economy of the country. Why do we talk about the economy? Instead of talking about the policy of governing the country like before, I think that a country needs all kinds of talents. Talents in government affairs, military affairs, and economic talents are also indispensable. This economy is not a simple planting industry, it covers a wide range. As I said before, the Mongols are eyeing us, and the battle between the two sides is inevitable. This war is not just a confrontation between the army, but more about comprehensive strength Economic strength is one of the decisive factors. The ancients said that warehouses know etiquette when they are real. I know that most of you here do not understand economics, and what you have learned is only four books and five classics, poems and songs Why do I still have to choose from you? That is because you are sensible, know the importance, and more importantly, you all have a heart to serve the country."

I looked at the candidates who were thinking seriously and continued: "To put it simply, if I have enough treasury, can I recruit a large number of elite soldiers, equip them with the best weapons, and save their families from worries. In short , the economy is one of the lifeblood of my court and one of the guarantees of my court's ZTE. Dear students, the two consecutive days of exams have ended, and the results will be released in seven days. Many of you here will be officials. As officials, I would like to congratulate you in advance, and at the same time, I would like to give you two sentences. The first sentence is the famous saying of Fan Wenzheng that everyone is familiar with. Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later. The second sentence It’s the way of being an official, if you don’t make decisions for the people as an official, it’s better to go home and raise livestock.”

The latter sentence comes from an unknown person in the Qing Dynasty. The sweet potato in the sweet potato was introduced into our country after the Ming Dynasty, so I made a modification.

"Finally, I have one more announcement. All of you who have any skills other than poetry and poetry can be registered in the Gongyuan during these seven days. I need all kinds of talents, which is also the purpose of my writing this poem. Ge, as long as it is a talent, I will reuse it. In addition, I plan to set up an academy here, which is different from other academies. I call it a university. The purpose of establishing this university is twofold, one is academic research, It includes all kinds of physical skills, even ingenious techniques. As long as it is beneficial to the development of our dynasty, it can be admitted to this university. The second is to cultivate talents and cultivate all kinds of talents needed for our dynasty. You can be teachers, or you can serve The specific affairs will be announced next month."

On March [-]th, the first year of Xianchun, I brought a group of ministers to Baoshan, southwest of Kuaiji.On the [-]th, Li Zong was buried in Yongmuling Mausoleum.Among the emperors of all dynasties in China, Li Zong is famous for respecting Neo Confucianism. He is named after his temple name Li Zong, and his posthumous title is Emperor Anxiao, who has made great contributions to building morality and preparing for virtue.

Song Lizong reigned for 40 years, but this Emperor Lizong's life was mediocre, which led to the decline of the Southern Song Dynasty and never recovered.

What is even more tragic is that only 15 years after his death, his tombs, including the tombs of several other emperors and concubines in the Southern Song Dynasty, were stolen by Tianya High Priest Yang Lianzhenjia and Yunze. Lizong's body was soaked in mercury when encoffining , So before it rotted at that time, the tomb robbers took his body out of the mausoleum and hung it upside down in the woods in front of the mausoleum to leach mercury.Lizong's head was then cut off and made into a drinking vessel, which was sent to the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty in Beijing, and his torso was burned.This is something Song Lizong never expected before his death.Lizong's head was not found in the palace of the Yuan Dynasty until Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, captured Dadu. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to rebury Lizong's skull at the site of Songling Mausoleum and repaired the destroyed mausoleum.

But, now that I'm here, will history continue as before?
