Chapter 562: Imperial Examination
This is how Concubine Xian's funeral passed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
And the main hall of Xianfu Palace, where Concubine Xian lived before her death, was also idle, and it became a good place for various concubines to compete for.
Xianfu Palace was probably the most lively and popular place in the entire palace, but Liu Yuchun was executed by the emperor a few days ago, and now Concubine Xian has also followed.
Although two people died in Xianfu Palace one after another, it was one of the closest palaces to the emperor's Qianqing Palace, and it was still very popular among the concubines in the palace.
Since it is a popular palace, it naturally cannot be idle in vain.
Therefore, after a period of negotiation and arrangement in the Internal Affairs Office, the palace where Concubine Xian and Liu Yuchun lived before was divided into two high-ranking concubines who had newly entered the palace.
This is always the case, and this is particularly frustrating.
The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed.
With the new owner of the main hall of Xianfu Palace, the last trace of the existence of Concubine Xian Niangniang in the world has been slowly erased.
Since then, except for Princess Sheng Qiong, there is no trace of the existence of the virtuous concubine in this world.
Concubine Xian was slowly forgotten by everyone, and became a short sentence in the history books of the Great Cloud Kingdom.
After this period of getting along, Tang Fei also became more and more fond of this little girl Sheng Qiong.
Princess Sheng Qiong was originally sensible and clever, but now it may be because the death of Concubine Xian touched her too much, so she was a little more mature.
Precocious children are always exceptionally heartwarming, and the more time they spend with Princess Sheng Qiong, the more Tang Fei loves Sheng Qiong.
Although she once refused Concubine Xian's request and did not inherit Sheng Qiong under her own name, her relationship with Sheng Qiong is indeed better than that of a mother and daughter.
Concubine Xian Niangniang went, the main hall of Xianfu Palace also moved to a new concubine, and Princess Sheng Qiong was also ruled by the emperor and moved to the newly built princess mansion.
However, this child is always willing to run to Tang Fei's Bai Zhi Garden when he is fine, which also makes Tang Fei's Bai Zhi Garden more childlike and colorful.
The days passed day by day, and the hottest dog days of summer finally passed, and the Great Cloud Country ushered in the autumn of a bumper harvest.
This year, the wind and rain in the country of Dayun are smooth, no disaster and harmless, and the harvest is particularly good.
In addition, there are new potato seeds developed by mysterious people, so the farmers' harvest has multiplied I don't know how many times.
During the reign of the emperor, the people worked hard to achieve food and clothing, but now, there is no suspense about food and clothing, let alone landlords, that is, ordinary people have surplus food, and the people have the spare strength to pursue a little quality of life.
At this time, Tang Fei's "Tang Recipes" could finally be circulated among the people on a large scale.
There is no need to be hungry, there are delicious and practical recipes, and the people have nothing to do to listen to books and watch plays.
Tang Fei's intentions, Yuxiang Society's lyrics, and Lan Zhao's music were also spread rapidly in this good year.
It is precisely because of these bits and pieces of changes that the status of the women of the Great Cloud Country began to slowly improve.
It's slow, but it's the beginning of the transition.
Tang Fei believes that in the long run, more women's consciousness will begin to rise, there will be more women working in society, and there will be fewer rice worms in society who rely on men to eat and wait for death to be complacent, and the world will definitely be better.
Tang Fei's feminist movement was carried out 'silently', and the imperial examination on the emperor's side finally began.
This is the first imperial examination in the history of the Great Cloud Kingdom, and it is the most significant.
It should be said that hundreds of millions of pairs of eyes are watching up and down the country!
Some people question, some look forward to it, some people are happy, and some people are still holding a wait-and-see attitude.
But that's it, the candidates who came to Shengjing City to take the imperial examination this time are still full of Shengjing City!
All over the country, thousands of candidates, thousands of miles away, set off several months in advance, and traveled to Shengjing City, just to chase their dreams.
There's no way, the previous filial piety is too cheating!
That's right, before the imperial examination, Da Yun Guo was not completely without a method for selecting talents, and the method of selecting officials in Da Yun Guo was to promote filial piety and honesty.
Dayun country rules the world with 'filial piety', and the idea of propaganda is 'filial piety first'.
Duan Taizu believes that the greatest advantage of a person is filial piety, if this person is filial to his father and mother, then this person will not be much worse, and he is also a good official as an official.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But the problem is that if a person is filial and has a good character, it has nothing to do with whether he has the ability or not!
Not to mention that there is one of the most fatal flaws in this filial piety, that is, it is easy to be monopolized.
Filial piety, filial piety, you are filial piety, you have to be recommended!
Who recommends it? It's those aristocratic squires who are already officials in the court.
But why do people recommend you for no reason? Right?
No matter how talented you are, no matter how good you are, if you can't bring benefits to others, people won't recommend you.
Look, the officials of the court are monopolized by these noble squires.
Tell me, can the person who is recommended be good?
Either they are relatives of aristocratic squires, or they are some people who can come and give gifts.
Exams, or test-oriented education, do still have many shortcomings and deficiencies, but one thing is good, that is, fairness.
That's right, it's fair.
Didn't you say you were talented? Didn't you say you were capable? Let's see the real chapter on the test paper!
Let's give you a chance to show yourself, if you can't seize the opportunity, then there's nothing to say, right?
Although some people now always say that learning well does not mean that they are capable! Just because you don't study well doesn't mean you don't have a chance.
I agree with that. Today's society mainly depends on money, you can make money, no one cares if you study well or not.
But I don't agree with the saying that learning well doesn't mean having the ability.
Learning is an ability in itself.
Not everyone can learn well, right? First of all, you have to be smart, you have to be able to plan your time, you have to be able to summarize your mistakes, and at the same time, you have to be able to concentrate, and of course, most importantly, you have to have a strong heart and strong self-control.
These are all advantages, and at the same time, they are very valuable.
The starting point of filial piety is good, but what is the result of so many years? In the end, the officials in the court have become a bunch of people who eat and wait for death.
I don't believe you, Xuan Pinghou, Du Shi, Liu Si, what the hell is this! If you can't do it, you can't do things, you can't do things, and if you only make promises, you will slip around, and it's almost the same as eating empty salaries.
finally came out with a first-class Lan Ruhai in character and ability, and was killed by the first emperor.
If it weren't for the fact that there were no talents in the court, where would the emperor rely on the left minister everywhere and be subject to the left minister everywhere?
Therefore, this imperial examination is really the most imminent challenge for the emperor to grow into an emperor through the ages.
