Chapter 659 The Apprentices' Arrangements (seeking tickets)
Kong Yingda chatted with Yue Shan about the promotion of "Chinese Civilization". After the book is published, he will come forward to support it as a descendant of Confucius, and related questions will definitely appear in the imperial examination next year.

Although the Ministry of Rites only has the power to hold the imperial examinations, and it is the power of the Guozijian to set questions and grade papers, but as the founder of the new imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty, he still has a very important voice.

It is generally the emperor's business to set the questions for the Beijing exam, and even the Imperial College has no way to intervene.But he can still affect some of the questions in the road test, state test, and county test.

What's more, Guozijian Jijiu Yu Kexun is also a cadre of Yueshan's line, and it is no problem for the two to cooperate to determine the questions for next year's imperial examination.

Here, the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty are also divided into four levels: Beijing Examination, Taoist Examination, State Examination, and County Examination.

As long as you can read and write, you can take the county test, and you don't need any other qualifications.

After passing the examination, a student becomes a student; a student takes the state examination, and after passing the examination, he becomes a juren;

There is no such thing as a palace examination in the legend. After the emperor gave a banquet for the Jinshi in the examination, the official department assigned work according to the rank.

Because the Tang Dynasty lacked officials, especially officials of civilian origin, after passing the examination of scholar, they could become officials in their own way.

The top three scholars can serve as assistant officials below the eighth rank, and the rest can only start as officials, and they can continue to be promoted if they do well.

But this is a temporary situation. After a few years when the shortage of officials is not so great, this hole will be blocked.In the future, only Jinshi can be an official, and only then can he be a high-ranking official above the fifth rank.

Scholars can also become an official, but it will become very difficult, and the highest can only be promoted to the seventh rank, and they cannot be the chief official but only the assistant official.

After exchanging opinions with Yue Shan, Kong Yingda turned and left. Originally, he wanted to ask about Xiniu Hezhou and the small conference room before, but he didn't ask because of the wrong occasion.

After he left Yueshan, he wandered around the academy.

Now the scale of the academy is not what it used to be, with more than 5000 students from various disciplines.The largest number of people is the literature department, and the knowledge of various schools of thought is taught, the most important ones are Confucianism and Taoism.

Followed by law, there is no way, this major is the easiest to find a job.After graduating and passing the examination, you can enter the judicial system to work. Many people who are determined to become officials but have no confidence to pass the imperial examination choose to study law.

Even here has become the base camp of the Legalists. Many members of the Legalists will send their children and students to study here, and those who are interested in the Legalists will also come here to study.So there are a lot of law school students.

The second is Gewuyuan, whose number of people is not as small as imagined.

It's normal to think about it. Although this subject is relatively remote, it is the only subject in Datang that deals with Gewu, and Datang is so big and has a large population that there are still many people who are interested in Gewu.

These people usually suffer from no one to communicate with and no place to study and research. Weishui Academy opened this subject and naturally became their first choice.

The one with the least number of people is the Daoist Department, which was originally quite lively.

In name it is a subject of Daoism, but in fact it is a group of Taoist priests who are studying how to improve the teachings and promote Taoist thought. Slowly, the real Taoists have transferred to the purer liberal arts academy.

Later, this group of Taoist priests also found that building cars behind closed doors was not very useful, and gradually left.Now only Lu Qianchang is left with a group of interested Taoist priests who are still doing research, and by the way, cultivate excellent Taoist priests for Taoism.

With 5000 students, it was already a good-sized school in the previous life, and it could be called a colossus in the Tang Dynasty.Wang Ji's ability to manage it in an orderly manner is evident.

Until now, Yue Shan is thankful that he brought Pei Ju together to compile a large dictionary, otherwise he would not have been able to get to know Li Gang, Wang Ji and so many famous teachers and scholars.

Although the compilation of a large dictionary is already dispensable to him, the group of people he knew at the beginning brought him too much help.

Wandering around the campus aimlessly, thinking of Pei Ju and Li Gang who had passed away, he felt quite different from others.

Just when he was lamenting that things were different, three familiar figures appeared in front of him.Taking a closer look, it was his three apprentices Feng Yi, Chen Zhong and Li Ke.

The three of them also saw him, and immediately ran over to salute, "Teacher."

As soon as Yue Shan opened his mouth on the opposite side, he smelled a smell of alcohol, waved his hand and slapped his nose and said, "Where are you guys going in broad daylight?"

Feng Yi said with a sneer: "I went to a literary meeting, but I couldn't avoid it so I had a few drinks."

Seeing that they all looked calm, he knew that they really didn't drink too much, and Yue Shan wasn't angry either.He is not old-fashioned, and his apprentice will be furious after drinking a little wine.It doesn't matter as long as you don't drink too much.

It just so happened that he also had something to look for them, so it would save trouble, so he asked the three of them in a secluded place: "You two are not young, and it's time for you to become an official, I don't know what you think .”

These words were naturally addressed to Chen Zhong and Feng Yi.

"I want to take the imperial examination." Chen Zhong said seriously.

Yue Shan nodded in agreement.This is very much in line with his understanding of Chen Zhong. Although this apprentice is taciturn, he is very stubborn and strong in his heart. He wants to take the imperial examination to prove that his ability is normal.

He asked Feng Yi again, "What about you?"

Feng Yi said freely: "In your words, my personality is wild and unrestrained. I really can't stand that restriction, so don't make things difficult for me. But don't worry, I will also take the imperial examination in order to prevent people from saying that you are incompetent. After passing the exam, you will not become an official.”

"Fart." Yue Shan said angrily: "Don't give back the responsibility to me when you are tired. Besides, I still use you to make me proud? What do you like, as long as you can pass the test of your parents."

When mentioning his parents, Feng Yi couldn't maintain his image any longer, and said bitterly: "Master, you have to give me an idea. My parents will listen to you."

"Get out, I don't want your parents to complain about me. The Beijing exam is one month away. Let's see if you two can pass the exam. Let's go, don't be an eyesore." Yue Shan said bluntly.

"Here." The three saluted and prepared to leave.

"Li Ke, stay here." Yue Shan said suddenly.

Li Ke stopped in doubt, said goodbye to the two senior brothers and returned to Yue Shan.

After the two walked away, Yue Shan reconsidered this noble disciple of the King of Shu, who was also his third uncle, and the relationship was very messy anyway.

Li Ke, who is 16 years old this year, gave birth to an imposing appearance, which is indeed quite similar to Li Shimin when he was young.But also because he is too much like Li Shimin, he has been cautious all these years and dare not perform too well.I dare not touch some sensitive things, such as the art of war.

The attitude towards this apprentice Yue Shan is also very complicated. On the one hand, it is distressed, and the life is too depressing.On the other hand, I feel that at least it is better than ordinary people who have eaten their last meal and never finished their meal, so don't be so hypocritical.

So he didn't take special care of Li Ke. He usually stayed in the academy to study with everyone, and occasionally called Feng Yi and the other three to start a small stove.

If it was in the past, Yue Shan felt that it would be good for him to live his life safely like this.But now, there is a chance to change his destiny, it depends on whether he is willing or not.

This is also the greatest help that his master can do for him.

"If you are allowed to leave Datang and go thousands of miles away, you may never have the chance to come back, but there you are free, you can live the life you want, and let you display your ambitions. Are you willing to go? "

Li Ke was stunned, he didn't expect Yue Shan to ask him such a question.But then he became very excited, his heart was about to jump out.

want to go?Of course he wanted to, and he gave the answer without hesitation in his heart.His maternal grandfather was the former emperor Yang Guang, his grandfather was the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and his father was a pilgrim. It is impossible to say that he has no idea.

It's just that he knows better than anyone that he has no chance.Even if the queen's two sons are dead, it is not his turn to sit on the throne.

As long as he shows a little bit of meaning, the end will be very miserable.Not only will he die, but he will also kill his mother and younger brother.

So all these years he has been hiding himself, trying to make himself mediocre.

Gradually, he got used to this kind of life, coupled with the fact that he often went to the folks to investigate and experienced the sufferings of the folks, he felt that he had nothing to complain about.At least compared to most people, he is already very happy.

But now Yue Shan's sudden words aroused the ambition hidden in the deepest part of his heart, can I really do it?

He didn't know why Yue Shan asked himself this question, was he testing me for the prince?Or have other ideas?

Yue Shan has always shown good reputation, cared for their mother and child for so many years, and the environment of their mother and child in the palace has been substantially improved after apprenticeship... They have gained too much from Yue Shan since they were young.

In addition, he is young after all, and has not experienced too many intrigues, and his mind is relatively simple.

The combination of all these made him choose to believe in Yue Shan, so he asked excitedly: "Master, why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Yue Shan could understand his mood, but he didn't tell him the answer directly, but said: "Answer my question first, are you willing to go? After thinking clearly, answer. There are your friends, classmates, parents and brothers here. Can you go?" Abandon them?"

Hearing this, Li Ke's face froze, his expression gradually calmed down, and he said blankly: "I... I don't know. I want to go, but I can't bear to part with my mother and everything in it. Master, what do you think I should do?"

Yue Shan said calmly: "Don't worry, go back and discuss it with your mother, and then ask your own heart, and tell me when you think it through."

"Here." Li Ke said absent-mindedly.

"Remember, don't tell anyone about this except your mother. Otherwise, you will understand the consequences." Yue Shan warned.

Li Ke woke up immediately after a jolt, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Master, for your vigilance, I understand."

"Well, you go." Yue Shan nodded.

After he left Yueshan, he turned around and looked to the side, raised his voice and said, "Come out, don't hide."

A man in a green shirt came out from behind a big tree not far away, it was Li Tai.

　It will be a new month in half an hour, ask for a monthly pass.

　　I even asked for the ticket at the beginning of next month. (ω)hiahiahia
