There has only been one way to take the imperial examination, although the content of the examination has changed several times, how is it new?

Li Guangyuan said: "It is said that another imperial examination will be held, which will be held at the same time as the normal imperial examination." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Mr. Qingxia frowned and said, "What kind of imperial examination is that? Who participates?"

Li Guangyuan said: "The DPRK and China are discussing, but the general idea has been specified, it is called the gentleman's test, that is, the gentleman, and the test is the six arts." ”

Six arts, etiquette, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, mathematics.... Everyone reads to dabble in it, but isn't it child's play if it takes an exam?

Li Guangyuan said: "It's not child's play, it's still very useful, the gentleman's test has been decided, and now the DPRK and China are discussing the treatment of participating in this kind of scientific examination.... It is equivalent to the township examination, and the selected candidates directly participate in the examination. ”

Mr. Qingxia was surprised, a scholar can get the identity of Xiucai after passing the county test, and he can get the identity of Xiucai after passing the township test, how many people can't get a person identity in their lifetime, and this gentleman's test can make people skip the three exams and directly get the identity of Xiucai and Renren, which is simply... The great temptation, isn't the world's students boiling?

Li Guangyuan said: "Of course, there are risks, if you try to fail at that time, then all your efforts will be wasted." "In that case, if you can be admitted to the show or raise people step by step, you will have to wait three years to come back... How many three years can there be in life, and who dares to guarantee that they will be able to get in after three years?

Mr. Qingxia breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "This can also make people calm down." But he still frowned, "But it's still too child's play..."Looking at Li Guangyuan, "You don't need to search for this?"

Li Guangyuan said: "Of course.... There is no need to entrain. "Etiquette, music, archery, royalty, books, and mathematics are not things that can be done by turning a book.

Mr. Qingxia looked at him and said, "So this is the method that the adults above came up with? So that she can go directly to the capital?

Li Guangyuan twisted his beard and said: "It doesn't seem to be because of her... But this is also suitable for her, so it should not be suspicious to be fueled by her. ”

Mr. Qingxia said: "Who is that?" The imperial court would never do such a ridiculous thing for no reason.

Li Guangyuan lowered his voice and said, "Prince Suo Shengxuan of Xiliang." ”

......

"Ridiculous!"

The court suddenly raised his voice and shouted, so that the little emperor who was dozing off on the dragon chair woke up suddenly, where is it? Is it time to say that he has retired from the court? Fortunately, the eunuch on the side cleverly supported him and made a gesture of silence.

The little emperor blinked and looked at the audience, and saw a red-robed official flicking his sleeves and glaring at Song Yuan, his angry beard blowing... Playful.

"Song Yuan, you are using the great weapon of the country to please the foreigners. ”

Several more officials stepped forward, looking annoyed.

“... What do you think of our scholars? Accompany Prince Nasuo to have fun?"

“.. Where is the gentleman trying, where is the saint?"

“... Your Majesty, this will disturb the hearts of my scholars in the world..."There are even gray-haired old officials who tremble and mourn at this little emperor.

The little emperor looked at Qin Tangong quietly, Qin Tangong did not react, he sat up straight and did not react.

Song Yuan raised his hand and waved at the officials who were almost pointing at his nose, and said, "It's not right for you to think like this... This is not the heart of a soldier in a chaotic world, but the heart of a soldier in a peaceful world... Do you know how many talented people have been stopped by an imperial examination? Some people are not suitable for the imperial examination, it is not that they have no talent to learn, but they only specialize in one skill, for example, some people who are outstanding in poetry and painting, they are not unskilled, but they spend more time on poetry books, and the imperial examination is a little worse.... How many people have failed and had to hide in the mountains and forests... Master Qu.."

He shouted suddenly.

Qu Bai, who stood in the queue of officials with cold eyes and lowered his hands, was stunned.

Song Yuan craned his neck to look at him and said loudly, "Isn't it a pity that you say?"

Qu Bai frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's a pity." ”

Song Yuan nodded at him, looked at everyone again, and said, "Speaking of which, this matter was raised by Lord Qu..."

Qu Bai looked stunned.

Everyone's eyes looked at Qu Bai, since Chen Xiangye stopped going to the court due to illness, the officials who originally belonged to him either followed Wang Xiangye, or were silent in the court to protect themselves.... Did Chen Xiangye return to the court?

A whisper suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Master Qu, when are you..."

"Did you say anything about that day?"

"This Song Yuan is deliberately pretending to be you..."

There are also officials who are good friends with Qu Bai who remind them in a low voice.

Qu Bai also remembered the events of that day, when he was outside the palace in the morning, he argued with Song Yuan because he was talking about a prostitute singing poetry in Chang'an City, and he was talented in writing poetry and the imperial examination....

Qu Bai nodded and took a step forward, "Yes, I think that today's imperial examination has indeed made many talented people lose their opportunities and cannot be used by the imperial court." ”

As soon as these words came out, the discussion was louder, and the eyes that looked at it were surprised and meaningful.

Song Yuan smiled and said: "Yes, I don't have any culture, I haven't passed the imperial examination, what I said doesn't count, I don't understand, Master Qu is a scholar from a poetry book... He always has a point, right?"

The officials who had questioned each other earlier looked at Qu Bai, but Qu Bai did not speak again.

"Actually, I'm thinking about this very simple. ”

A voice rang out, mellow and powerful, and the noisy whispers in the hall died down, and all eyes looked ahead.

Qin Tangong held the python robe and jade belt and slowly spoke: "... It is to hold a different imperial examination, so that the scholars of the world can show their style, of course, Suo Shengxuan is a reason, he admires my Great Zhou scholars so much, in fact, he admires my Great Zhou sage gentleman, in fact, not only him, but also the surrounding friends and neighbors, this is also a recognition that my Great Zhou is the foundation of the world's literature... How many children from friendly countries in Taixue come to study, just because of this, just because of their status, they can't participate in my Great Zhou Imperial Examination..."

He looked around at the officials.

“... Therefore, I think it is necessary to hold this kind of imperial examination, so that the children of friendly countries can compete with my Great Zhou scholars, make up for their regrets, and also show that my Great Zhou is prosperous and prosperous, and my Great Zhou scholars are gentlemen... It can also give talented scholars in the world a chance..."

Song Yuan said: "Yes, this is a matter of promoting the prestige of our country, how can it be called pleasing others?"

Qin Tan said fairly: "I have ordered someone to check, and there are indeed many talented people who have failed to pass the imperial examination, such as a math master..."

An official immediately stood up and flipped through a roster and said: "Dong Gu, a native of Dingzhou, is a mathematical genius, can do great calculations, and has achieved success in astronomical calendar and hydrology, but he has failed to pass the imperial examination for ten years, and he has been an official in the local county government so far, circling in the number of grains, rice, and grains." ”

Qin Tangong looked at everyone and said: "Such a great talent, if he comes to the court, or the Bureau of Culture and History, or is in charge of water conservancy fortifications, he will definitely be of great use, and he will benefit the country and the people." Pointing to the official's roster, he said, "There are countless of them." Turning his head to look at Wang Xiangye, "Xiangye, what do you think?"

Wang Xiangye, who had been silent, groaned and said: "This matter is not trivial, when you think about it thoroughly... The judging of the selection event must not be negligent, otherwise it will become a farce. ”

Qin Tangong smiled and said: "What Xiang Ye said is extremely true, my military general does not understand this, and the arrangement by Xiang Ye must be comprehensive." Then he gestured, "So we ask Your Majesty to decide?"

Wang Xiangye turned around and bowed down with Qin Tangong to salute: "Please make a decision with Your Majesty." ”

The little emperor sat up straight and said, "Accurate." ”

.....

This matter is an unprecedented event, the court officials whispered and walked out of the court, Qu Bai did not participate in it and left directly, only took two small servants out of the royal street, walked through the lush street to a remote alley, and knocked on the door of a courtyard.

The house is not magnificent, but it is quaint and quiet, full of flowers and plants, and following an old servant inward, you can also see a small vegetable patch, which is lush in April, and it can be seen that it is well cared for.

Passing through a door, I saw a hall, the doors and windows of which were wide open, and in which was placed a large bookcase, in front of which an old man of about sixty years of age, with an elegant and thin countenance, looked serious and serious, and seemed to be thinking about something important.

The old servant retreated without a bow, Qu Bai walked into the door and walked over to stand beside the old man, and saw a large piece of paper on the big bookcase, blank without a word.

"Teacher, can't put pen to paper again?" Qu Bai said.

The old man hummed, not as if he was surprised that someone suddenly entered the room, and said solemnly: "Yes, I always take a breath less." After that, he raised his head and said, "Manzi, why are you here?"

Qu Bai, full of words, reached out and took the tea on the side and handed it to the old man, "Teacher, I don't understand why you asked me to agree with this matter proposed by Song Yuan. ”

The old man took a sip of tea and said, "There's no why, because it's pretty good." ”

It seems a bit casual to do something because you think it's good.
