Overturning the Liangshan of the Water Margin, I am the master

()Because there were too many rules and regulations stipulated by Song and Qing in advance, the originally lively scientific research became much deserted.In this regard, Chen Dong and other officials inevitably do not understand, because they were selected in this way.

The Song and Qing Dynasties didn't care so much. Although living in this era, many things must obey the rules of this era, but today's world is in a period of change. If everything follows the previous dynasty, then the emerging Liangshan regime , Sooner or later, he will follow in the footsteps of Song Dynasty.

The exam is still going on, and there is another biggest difference in this exam, that is, there is no chief examiner.

Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and Chen Dong were all assistant examiners, and they quickly understood that the chief examiner must be Liang Wang himself.

Song Qing was the examiner, of course he had his own ideas.Throughout the dynasties, candidates would recognize the examiner as a teacher, and then take care of each other by virtue of the teacher-student relationship. After entering the dynasty, they would become partisans.This is also one of the sources of cronies and township parties in the previous imperial courts.

And if the king of Liang is the main examiner, who would go to worship others?In this way, all the civil and military students can do their best, not only can eradicate the signs of the party's disaster, but also make them work harder to serve the king of Liang.

It may seem selfish, but it has profound implications.

The examination institute is taking the exam, but Song Qing, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Chen Dong and others are sitting together to discuss another important matter at the moment, which is about the year name.

The reign name of the Zhao Huan court in Lin'an is still Jingkang, and the Liangshan regime in the Song and Qing Dynasties is a vassal of the Song Dynasty in name, but it is no different from the actual establishment of the country. I'm proud of you, I almost forgot what the court's surname is.Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to continue to use the reign title of the Song Dynasty.

In fact, according to Song Qing's thinking, what year does he care?As long as the power is in my hands.Moreover, I am only a prince now, if I set up a year name privately, will it make people feel that I want to rebel?

Chen Dong looked at Wu Yong, he was the one who wanted to persuade him the most, but Wu Yong said it was not the time, so he couldn't say any more, but he also felt that it was necessary to set up a new year name, which would help guide the soldiers and civilians all over the world to oppose Liangshan. centripetal force.

Wu Yong nodded, answering Chen Dong's question, and said: "Qiantui, I feel that the name of the reign is imperative. The Jingkang reign of the Song Dynasty must not work. A good country has become such a disaster, so It represents shame. But now a large area of ​​land is under my control in Liangshan, and the Liangshan regime is just like the rising sun, shining brightly, so it must have its own year name."

Zhu Wu also said: "That's right, Qiantui, you always say that the New Year is a new atmosphere, we also have to let the people of the world feel the new atmosphere under the leadership of Liang Shan, right?"

The two old fellows expressed their views, Song Qing turned to look at Chen Dong, but saw that he also nodded firmly.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Then do this! Think about it, what year name should we use?"

Wu Yong thought for a while and said, "Our purpose in Liangshan is to act on behalf of the heavens, so how about taking the destiny as the year name?"

"Then this year is the first year of destiny"

Zhu Wu and Chen Dong were obviously very satisfied with this year name, but Song Qing did not express his opinion.

I remember that before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Nurhachi's year name seemed to be the destiny, how could he have the same year name as the braided soldiers?

"It's called Xingping! It means prosperity and peace"

Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, and Chen Dong looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them could understand that they chose a lesser one than such a good one.

However, several people knew that Song Qing's temper was something he had decided and would never be changed.So the matter was settled.

After the scientific examination is over, when the rankings are released, Luoyang will use the name of the first year of Xingping to write the world.

Because there were too many people watching and retreating, the total number of civil, military and medical skills in this scientific examination did not exceed 500 in the end.

This is not a big deal, since the rules were laid down, Song Qing expected this result, and even said that there were so many people that exceeded his expectations.

After the big exam, before the rankings were released, Song Qing summoned all these people to the square of Luoyang Academy.In his words, he just wanted to communicate with these people and understand their thoughts.

Unexpectedly, after the news spread, many people who did not take the exam also heard the news.

Song Qing sat alone at the front, facing the candidates.Not to mention that the originally scheduled 500-seat seats below were full of people, the surrounding area was also crowded with students from all over the place, and the scene was unprecedentedly hot.

King Liang's prestige is now resounding all over the world, and having the opportunity to talk to him face to face is something that he never dreamed of, so they all rushed here early.

This situation made Song Qing a little surprised, but he didn't stop it, because he wanted to use this opportunity to let everyone know that as long as you are willing to serve my Liangshan new regime, I will definitely give you a chance.

Under the enthusiastic eyes of the examinees, Song Qing slowly walked up to the low podium, and then motioned for everyone who had seats to sit down.

In the past, Song Qing faced soldiers, and he never felt timid in front of thousands of troops.Facing these candidates today, I somehow felt an inexplicable throbbing in my heart.

These are the future pillars of my Liangshan rule!

After nodding to everyone with a smile, he said loudly: "Come to sit with everyone today and have a chat. I hope you don't feel nervous. If you have any ideas or things you don't understand, you can tell me. I will try my best to satisfy everyone."

The podium was specially designed, so every word Song Qing said could be heard by everyone.

Most of the [-] candidates sitting in the audience were from poor families. It was already an extravagant wish for them to meet King Liang, so how dare they ask questions?

Seeing that no one spoke, Song Qing said again: "Since no one asked me, I'll ask you first!" Looking under the stands, he randomly clicked on a person and asked, "Tell me, why do you want to be an official?" ? Boldly say, I don’t blame you for being wrong.”

This examinee was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, so it could be seen that he was not a son of a rich family.Suddenly being hit by King Liang, his face flushed for a while, but he couldn't speak, obviously he was extremely nervous.

Seeing this scene, Song Qing couldn't help wondering, is he really that scary?

At this time, a candidate who was sitting next to the candidate who was questioned suddenly stood up, bowed and said: "Returning to the prince, the student wants to be an official, one is to honor the ancestors, and the other is to serve the court."

As soon as his words fell, the first candidate who was asked the question finally choked out a sentence: "I still want to marry more wives."

This sentence immediately caused a roar of laughter, is this kid too real?The prince asked, why didn't he say some impassioned words, but said that he wanted to marry more wives?I'm afraid the prince will blame him.

Song Qing couldn't help but smile, this kid is real enough.Secretly remembering his appearance, he casually asked a few more people, and the rest of the answers were almost the same, they were all obedient, such as serving the prince, mostly benefiting the people, and so on.

After everyone finished speaking, Song Qing said: "It was said a long time ago that being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and being promoted and getting rich must be an idea that most people dare not say in their hearts. It doesn't matter, this is human nature. It is an upward wheel, I can tell you, as long as you sincerely serve the court and keep the people in your heart, then what you want in your heart will be realized for you.”

Speaking of this, he pointed at the examinee who wanted a wife and said, "Go to Youzhou! Officials are needed there, starting from the lowest level, well done, I will be in charge of your marriage."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the audience. Before the test results were released, the king of Liang actually sent officials here?What's the point?

The previous examinee was so excited that he almost fainted, got up and knelt down in front of Song Qing, and said loudly: "Students are willing to go!"

Someone among the candidates shouted: "Your Highness is unfair. The list has not been released yet. Why did your Highness appoint officials first? In this way, what's the use of the exam?"

Song Qing raised his hand to suppress the commotion of the candidates, and said loudly: "This king is here to tell you this matter. Those of you who take the exam will be hired by this king, but you will still be assigned according to your test scores. "

This was another blockbuster, and the five hundred candidates immediately cheered, but the students on the sidelines still refused to accept it. If I knew it was like this, everyone would have come to take the test.

Liang Wang's approachable attitude undoubtedly gave everyone courage.I saw a young man in a fancy dress rushing out, cupped his hands and said to Song Qing: "My lord invited me, the students don't agree with the lord's way of getting an official."

"It is a great blessing for scholars all over the world to re-open the imperial examination. I will not talk about the rules and regulations that the prince first set for the scientific examination, but this way of being an official as long as you take the exam, how can you convince the students all over the world? The students dare to ask the prince. , are you seeking talents for the country?"

Is this kid crazy?How dare you talk to the prince like that?Aren't you afraid of losing your head?The audience was instantly silent.

Song Qing had a calm expression on his face, and said indifferently: "What's your name? Why didn't you take the exam?"

The youth in Chinese clothes said proudly: "Student Jiangnan Du Yuqing, the student has no reference because he feels that the prince has set too many restrictions on candidates and cannot really achieve the purpose of recruiting talents for the court."

After listening to him, Song Qing slowly stood up, facing more than a thousand pairs of eyes expecting the answer, and said in a deep voice: "This king has already said that the purpose of resuming the scientific examination is to obtain talents for the country, not to pass the exam for some purpose." People who get promoted and get rich through the imperial examinations pave the way. Faced with harsh conditions, some people shrink back because of this. For these shrinking people, can this king understand that their motives for reference are not pure? Besides, how can they not advance despite difficulties? Dare to pretend to be talented?"

"Looking at these references again, they may not have the idea of ​​changing their lives and destiny through scientific research, or even getting promoted and making a fortune, but they still came, at least this is better than you who retreat. So my king use them"

As soon as Song Qing's words fell, the venue suddenly burst into warm applause.And the people outside the venue suddenly understood that the so-called scientific examination was just a formality, and the real purpose of King Liang was to test the attitudes of these students towards the new regime of Liangshan.

The arrogant student Du Yuqing left without knowing when, and he also regretted his recklessness just now, but he didn't know that Song Qing would never have the same knowledge as him.

A few days later, the test results were released, but no one cared too much about it.Before that, someone had already mentioned that they worshiped together under the sect of Song and Qing, became the first disciples of King Liang, and then went to various places, starting as an ordinary official.

Perhaps in the near future, they should be called disciples of the emperor.
