220 Enko

Zheng Bo went to Wenshui, and when he came back, he was promoted to the official - the grade remained the same, but he was transferred to the Ministry of Officials and became a former Langzhong.

The imperial examination system began in the Sui Dynasty, and it has not been more than a hundred years, the duration is short, and there are few scholars, whether it is a family or a powerful family, most of them still rely on the shadow of the door, and it is not as important as the TV series in the previous life, and its main examination is just a five-grade examiner Wailang, but after all, the imperial examination is the right way to take officials and enter the office, and they have to be Taizong, Gaozong and his mother's vigorous promotion, the famous son of the poor family, the noble and backward, all take pride in the imperial examination, so it involves a wide range of people, and the influence is also great, if it is really based on the five grades of the main examination, it is often difficult to suppress these arrogant and conceited scholars, when the father was there, there was a case that the son was deposed by the examiner, and went to Tianjin Bridge to fly on the book to slander the matter, although the person was discovered by the street Jinwu in time, did not make a big deal about the matter, the court and the central government on the candidates for the examiner Wailang has been much more cautious since then, using either the literary leader, the old man who has learned the scriptures, or the high-ranking officials, Clan members, in a nutshell, are either backgrounds or talents. Although Zheng Bo is young, he is the son of the Zheng family, a famous family of scholars, a famous teacher, and his mother and wife are both princesses.

I don't particularly care about Zheng Bo's official position, after all, as long as he is still my concubine, my mother will naturally not be able to treat him badly, but the matter of the merit test really makes me curious. It has been more than ten years since I traveled to the Tang Dynasty, and there have been a lot of historical celebrities, but poets and literati are rare, if Zheng Bo is in charge of Enke, I must have a scholar in my house, I wonder if there will be one or two names that I am familiar with?

Thinking of Li Bai, Great poets such as Du Fu may also participate in this Enke, and even throw it into my door, I was faintly excited, and asked someone to tell the door early, no matter who it is, as long as it is a scholar, be polite to receive it, especially the few names I am familiar with, regardless of age, anyway, as long as I remember the poets of the Tang Dynasty, all write to Liu Houde and Song Fuyou, and order them to notify me when they see it, so that although I can't write poems and essays, I can meet these celebrities in history, and I feel that this life is worthwhile.

In addition to the excitement of personally participating in history, I also have a lot of selfishness about Enco this time- In the past, although I could also send a message to the heavenly officials, recommend some of their own manpower, after all, I have to cover up some, now Zheng Bo is the main exam, but I can let him choose someone for me in a bright and bright way: Zheng's children don't talk about it, my late nurse Yang has a son, this year is twenty and two, has been studying for ten years, according to Liu Houde, there is still something to see in the rhetoric, Wusheng was elected to the same state last year, this year there is a shortage of heavenly officials, but he can try to take the test book to judge the outstanding, if he wins, he will make up to the ministry, just do Zheng Bo's Peng Cao, Wu Chenghei entrusted to me There are three people, one is the grandson of the mother's young nurse, one is the grandson of the maternal grandfather, and the other is the distant nephew of the maternal grandmother, These three people are not so much that he entrusted me, but that they were instructed by my mother, but the matter is too small to be worth paying attention to as a mother, but no matter how small the things around my mother are, when they come below, it is a big event, so naturally I can't be taken lightly, I will remember these names one by one, thinking about the words and paper to send the letter, after all, it will not change, so I went home and discussed it carefully with Zheng Bo.

This discussion, I know that this matter seems simple, but it is involved, but it is deeper than I thought - the closer to the exam, the more people will come to ask for it, there are only more than ten people at a time, but there are more than 20 names handed to Zheng Bo: Princess Qianjin and Princess Xin'an each recommended one person, Uncle Xu Wang recommended one, Pei Yan recommended two, Gao Yanfu one, Wei Tuaner two- In addition, there are Liu Renliang's disciples, Liu Yizhi's brothers, and several slightly famous disciples of the scriptures who recommend themselves, Zheng's children recorded a lot last year, and this year there are relatives in the clan to invite - although these people are not as big as the above exclusive people to recommend, but there are many people with real talent and real learning, if one is down, but it is unbearable.

Now I know the meaning of the sentence "the matter is big, think carefully" that my mother instructed when she appointed Zheng Bo, and after weighing it again, I finally crossed out the two distant relatives of Yang Niangzi's son and maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother, and handed over all the things that were submitted to Zheng Bo, and finally reduced the recommendation from my side to two, and handed over the rest to Zheng Bo in one go, and he had many veteran assistants, as well as the help of the Zheng clan, which must be better than me, an "ignorant woman" Knowing more, Zheng Bo was a little happy that I let go of the matter, and only ran to his eldest brother day by day, without saying a word to me.

In the middle of February, my mother had already bowed in front of her clansmen, and she was the only one to preside over the big shooting on March 3. This time, the mother seemed very modest, dressed and dressed, slightly less than the due etiquette of the queen mother, and when she saluted, she was in the middle of the distant emperor, and she only stood on the right side, but when the civil and military officials danced and worshipped, and the mountain shouted long live, she was also ashamed to accept it on behalf of the first emperor and Li Dan - I, a female streamer, had no chance to participate in the national shooting, and the enthusiasm for this matter ended here, and I was more concerned about Enke.

It's a shame that I didn't bother to choose a scholar, and when I was about to go down the list, my mother suddenly issued an edict to set the number of scholars at fifty, and the total number of references was only 100 people, which was almost half of the people who were selected.

I handed him a word for a small hand, transferred him back to Beijing, selected in the Ministry of Officials, and pretended to be in the name of Ah Huan, bought a small house for him in the city, only three rooms inside and outside, the land is very narrow, and it is better to be close to me in the province, and gave him fifty acres of Zhongtian, and now in a household, Chengding gave the field, there are also twenty or thirty acres, fifty acres of Zhongtian, in his rank, but just for the tongue, he is worthy of it, I don't give it to the eye, but the two are cheap.

In the spring, except for the two major events of Enko and archery, there were no other waves. Because of the city's favor, my mother continued to award ministers and clan relatives, and also promoted many poor families, especially those recommended by Zhuwu. Since last year, some officials of the fifth or sixth rank have been impeached, and among the clan relatives, there are many distant branches who have been taught a lesson by virtue of their status--it is just a matter of seizing the title, removing the official, reproaching the staff, and exile- There has not been a family that has been implicated, but after entering the summer this year, some more serious charges have gradually been reported, and the people involved have also spread from the distant branch clan to the near branch clan, rumors are surging in the hot summer air, as the heat spreads to every household, even the atmosphere in the palace is gradually becoming weird, and there is a sense of uneasiness everywhere in the air, but on the bright side there is a harmonious atmosphere, the prime minister, the clan and relatives are harmonious and friendly, Stability and unity, just like the kindergarten lunch break under the supervision of teachers in the previous life.

When the day was the hottest, someone finally couldn't help it first - the servant Shi Zhou Xing was sparse, saying that Li Ming, the king of Qi, had rebelled. 166 Reading Network
