I played the King live broadcast, and the ancient emperor was confused!

Chapter 233: The failed candidate, Huang Chao: I know this! The inner treasury was burned into beautiful ashes, and the bones of the princes were trampled on in the street.

Everyone was shocked by Zhong Kui's deeds of catching ghosts!

Others have made great achievements while they are still alive and will leave their names for eternity!

Zhong Kui is on the good side, he has accomplished nothing in his life.

Instead, he died, leaving behind an eternal legend!

"The judge of the underworld who catches the little devil!"

Li Shimin happens to be having these strange dreams recently.

In the dream, the Dragon King of Jinghe was sentenced to beheading by the Jade Emperor because he violated the laws of heaven, and Wei Zheng was sent to personally supervise the beheading.

The Old Dragon King came to him in his dream and begged him for help, hoping to get Li Shimin's help. Feeling the Old Dragon King's true feelings, Li Shimin agreed to the Old Dragon King's request in his dream.

But what Li Shimin never expected was that Wei Zheng actually beheaded the old Dragon King in his dream.

Although Li Shimin had tried his best, the old Dragon King felt that Li Shimin had not fulfilled his promise to him, and he was still executed by Wei Zhengjian.

The spirit of the angry old Dragon King has been haunting him, appearing in Li Shimin's dreams every day, making it impossible for him to sleep normally, which directly leads to his frequent mental illness.

And Zhong Kui happens to be the judge of the underworld!

He also has the ability to catch imps and frighten demons and monsters.

Li Shimin immediately summoned a painter: "Painter, please draw an image of Zhong Kui immediately and post it in front of my palace door?"

For those others who had trouble sleeping.

They all also imitated Li Shimin's style, making people imitate Zhong Kui's appearance in the sky.

Make a portrait and stick it on the door of your bed!

Everyone in Li Tang was chatting animatedly.

Pictures of pictures, worship of gods.

But everyone in Da Qin and Da Han was confused.

[Fusu]: "Hey, hey, have you missed the point? What kind of exam, what kind of failure, let a good and talented man hit a pillar and die, but no one can complain for Zhong Kui?"

[Liu Bang]: "It's just that you don't know what you are talking about. Many people have been killed and you are still using other people's portraits to suppress evil! You really have no conscience at all!"

[Huo Qubing]: "What is a Jinshi? Why do you commit suicide if you don't pass the exam?"

Things like taking exams and becoming a scholar.

They didn't even hear it.

Just watch everyone in Datang chatting animatedly.

But no one avenged the dead Zhong Kui!

Su Yu explained:

"The Imperial Examination in the Tang Dynasty was an opportunity for common people to cross social classes. Many people worked hard throughout their lives to pass the Jinshi examination so that they could turn over."

Everyone in the previous court was still confused.

[Wang Jian]: "Imperial examination? What is that? Can it also transcend classes?"

Their Da Qin relied on their military merit to transcend social strata.

I have never heard of any imperial examination.

[Fusu]: "Forcing talented people to commit suicide, what the hell is this!"

Seeing that everyone has a lot of questions.

Su Yu then explained:

"The imperial examination is just a cross-class system set up by the dynasty."

"The Great Qin Dynasty has a military merit system, and titles are awarded based on military merit."

"The two Han Dynasties had a system of examination and promotion, in which the local and central government recommended and recruited individuals as officials based on their talents and conduct."

"In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a nine-rank Zhongzheng system. Official positions were determined based on family background, character and talents."

"The imperial examination system invented by the Sui Dynasty was officially established in the Tang Dynasty."

"Selecting capable people through examinations and setting up officials gave capable scholars the opportunity to enter the upper class. This system has been passed down for more than a thousand years and has had a great influence on future generations."

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian smiled triumphantly:

"Look at my system! It has been passed down through the ages!"

Although it was passed down to two generations in the Sui Dynasty.

But the system he invented has been passed down through the ages!

[Fusu]: "I don't understand, I don't understand, but if you fail to get a Jinshi, you will commit suicide. I feel that there may be something wrong with this system!" No matter which dynasty, talented people are valued very much.

A person like Zhong Kui who has been passed down through the ages was forced to commit suicide.

Everyone in the previous dynasty subconsciously believed that there was something wrong with this system!

Su Yu smiled lightly and said:

"This system is relatively fair. It is the only opportunity for scholars to cross class. Such a huge gap will inevitably make people emotional."

"There was a man named Fan Jin who almost went crazy after he won the imperial examination."

"It's just a pity that Zhong Kui failed because of his appearance! Anyone else would be so angry that he would commit suicide!"

It would be okay if he failed the exam because he was ugly.

This reason is really hard to accept!

[Huo Qubing]: "Are you kidding? If you become an official in the imperial examination, you will have no merit at all. Wouldn't it mean that scholars will soon control the court?"

Even a military commander like him can guess what consequences such a system will bring!

[Li Shimin]: "You don't understand. The imperial examination is a system to win over scholars. It allows capable people to spend all their energy on studying and finally serve the court. Those illiterate commoners cannot make any waves."

Although the imperial examination is superficially intended to give scholars a chance to make a comeback.

But in fact, it is just a means to stabilize the dynasty!

Many emperors in Li Tang showed knowing smiles!

[Ying Zheng]: "This is a good idea! I will also establish an imperial examination system!"

The emperors of the previous dynasties all issued orders and decided to follow the example of the Tang Dynasty and establish an imperial examination system!

Su Yu smiled slightly and said:

"The imperial examination also has its drawbacks. Some people fail and commit suicide, while some people fail and start a world war!"

"The Tang Dynasty died in the hands of a failed student!"

I heard that the Tang Dynasty suddenly died.

Li Shimin, who was still cheerful at first, could no longer laugh.

Standing up full of disbelief.

"Huh? No? The Tang Dynasty perished in the hands of students who failed to pass the exam?"

Obviously the imperial examination system was a system they used to win over scholars.

Why did the Tang Dynasty collapse because of the imperial examination system?

Li Shimin rewarded wildly: "Anchor, what on earth is going on?"

He couldn't understand why the Tang Dynasty died in the imperial examination?

Su Yu slowly said:

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs took power in the central government, and vassal towns were divided locally. The society became darker, and exorbitant taxes became more and more heavy. Coupled with the continuous natural and man-made disasters in successive years, farmers fled everywhere."

"Huang Chao failed several consecutive imperial examinations and was resentful. He happened to encounter Wang Xianzhi's rebellion, so Huang Chao gathered people to respond to the uprising led by Wang Xianzhi."

"He led the peasant rebel army to fight across the country, conquered Luoyang, broke through Tongguan, and captured Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty."

"It broke the balance of power between the central government and the feudal towns and the pattern of mutual constraints between the feudal towns, and wiped out the clan system since the Wei and Jin Dynasties."

"The inner treasury was burnt to splendor ashes, and the Tianjie was trampled to the bone!"

"Huang Chao's uprising buried the entire Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty, which was at its peak, was destroyed!"

Hearing the news of the demise of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was struck by thunder, and his mind was a little unclear.

He slumped down on the dragon chair.

"The Tang Dynasty died at the hands of a student who failed to pass the exam?"

[Fusu]: "Hahahaha! Why do I feel like all the students who failed the exam are so awesome!"
