The township test in May, like the children's exam, was still held in Tianyi Academy (the name of the academy was given by San Lang and Mu Fushu together, taking the meaning of the unity of heaven and man, and also the meaning of Tianyi Villa in Shudi). Township tests were also held at the same time.

The township examination was originally held in autumn and August, so it is also called Qiu Qiu (闱, examination room). The examiner was appointed by the emperor. After the exam, the main and deputy lists are released, and the main list is called lifting, and the first one is called Xie Yuan. This time it was Enke, and because there had been no scientific examination for many years, it could only be hurriedly squeezed into a year to complete the exam. There are not many people left in the children's life test, and even fewer can pass the township test.

With the foundation of the previous children's examination, the candidates were well organized during the township examination, and there were no major problems. There was a joint entrance examination that fainted for a few days before and did not appear, and even the unpalatable nest at noon was eaten up. Do you still remember that a few people threw away their nest heads during the children's birth test, but they were seen by the inspector and deprived of their student qualifications!

At the end of May, the scores came out, and there were 220 people in Chang'an City, and there were only more than 1,800 people in the entire Great Sui, which was the result that the test had not been taken for many years and the question was not difficult.

Looking at the rolls that had officially become lifters in the Tongguò Township Test, San Lang and Mu Fushu were a little heavy.

Chang'an City has a relatively large proportion of people this time, which is also the result of their systematic study in the academy, and many of the test questions have been talked about by Mr. This exam is a unified paper, and Chang'an's is more difficult, that's it, and there are not many people in the middle of the exam.

The township examination, which is held every three years in the provincial capital (including the capital), is also called the autumn examination (闱, examination room) because it is held in autumn and August. The examiner was appointed by the emperor. After the exam, the main and deputy lists are released, and the main list is called lifting, and the first one is called Xie Yuan.

Next is the examination, which was originally held in the spring, but now it is scheduled for August, and this time there will be 500 tributes, 200 more than usual.

One of the reasons is that there have been no scientific expeditions for many years, and the other is that there are too few officials available. If we look at the lack of officials in each prefecture and county, there is at least a gap of 600, but if we can't release too much water, we can only control about 500 people. This time, the number of Tongjinshi is twice as large as in previous years.

At the beginning of June, there were many good news from all over the country: the good seeds from the spring were growing very well, and in some places the harvest had already begun. For example, rape peanuts and the like, the imperial court has distributed the method of oil extraction to the prefectures and counties where the rape harvest is abundant. The people, who had only eaten lard and sesame oil before, only then knew that peanuts and rape could also be squeezed for oil.

The drought problem, which had been feared, also collapsed after a few spring rains. Originally, the imperial court issued a document to a place suitable for planting double-cropping rice, but from being distrusted at the beginning to being persuaded by the facts, the people began to devote themselves to the new farming with enthusiasm.

The food problem was gradually solved, the coarse salt that was originally very expensive for the people was also replaced by cheap fine salt, San Lang ascended the throne for just over half a year, and has been worshiped by the people of the Great Sui, everyone thinks that this emperor is sent by God to save them, and since then, as long as the spirit conveyed by the imperial court has been implemented meticulously, which is comparable to brainwashing.

In June, Mu Fushu has been pregnant for four months, and her belly has grown, and the doctor said that she is normal and has not been pregnant with twins like Yang Weiai.

There is also a big festival in June - Wanshou Festival, which means that Saburo's birthday is in June.

The emperor's birthday is called Wanshou Festival, which is a big festival whether it is in the palace or among the people. On this day, the people of the Great Sui have to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and the ministers, regardless of whether it is a great dynasty or not, must rush to the palace to bow to the emperor, and send some gifts to express their hearts and love for the emperor.

San Lang's birthday before the age of five was given to him by the nurse indiscriminately, and it was often just to add a meat dish.

After the age of five, he lived in Linjia Village with Yang Weng, Yang Weng can't remember his own birthday, and he is a big man, where would he think of celebrating his birthday for a child?

After getting to know Mu Fushu, every year on his birthday, he made a big table of meals and everyone celebrated together, and Mu Fushu prepared a gift for him. Sometimes it's books, sometimes it's clothes, and there is no serious celebration banquet, even Mu Fushu's birthday is because it's in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he won't deliberately go there.

And this year is different, one is because San Lang is now the emperor, and the other is that he is exactly twenty this year, and the ancients twenty is the year of the weak crown.

The weak crown refers to the ancient people who performed the crown ceremony at the age of 20 to show adulthood. Although he is an adult, he is still not strong and still relatively young, so he is called "weak". Crown, which refers to adulthood.

When the crown is twenty weak, it is necessary to perform the "crown salute", that is, to wear a hat that indicates that you have become an adult. "Weak crown" refers to a man who has reached the age of 20, and later generations generally referred to the age of a man in his 20s or 20s as a weak crown, which cannot be used for women. There are also clouds in the Book of Rites, twenty are said to be weak, and the crown is crowned.

When the man is weak, the nobles and scholars generally have to perform the crowning ceremony in the temple. Even if he has an average family background, he will go back to the ancestral hall in the village to hold a crown ceremony.

The crown ceremony is presided over by the father, and the designated dignitary crowns the young man who performs the crown ceremony three times, representing the right to govern people, serve the country, and participate in sacrifices. After the crowning, the dignitaries read the congratulatory message to the crowner, and gave him a beautiful "word" equivalent to the virtue of the gentleman, making him a respected nobleman.

San Lang is the king of a country, and the crown ceremony cannot be ignored like Mu Fushu's and the ceremony. But here's the problem: San Lang has no father, and there are no elders who can crown him beyond the majesty of the emperor, so this crown ceremony can only be crowned by the patriarch of the Yang clan.

Now the patriarch of the Yang clan is the king of Shu.

The king of Shu is now very comfortable in Chang'an City, and he does not mention returning to Shu. In fact, now Shu is basically under the control of Yang Weiai's eldest princess's mansion, more precisely, it is under the control of Mu Fushu. Shu is rich in cultivation and minerals, and has always been a blessed land for all generations of vassal kings.

Before Emperor Ai of Sui, there were still vassal kings in the Great Sui, and they divided the entire Great Sui into several or even dozens of parts, except for the rice grain and other specialties that must be offered to the imperial court every year, the rest were their own, and some vassal kings lived a more nourishing life than the emperor.

Naturally, Saburo wouldn't let such a thing happen.

The Yang family has been wiped out by the Wang family, and there are not many who are alive even counting the side branches, let alone those who are qualified to be crowned kings. The King of Shu is very knowledgeable, and no longer mentions his fiefdom of Shu, and the King of Han is even more low-key. When he was named the king of Han, his fief was Chang'an, and this title was given by the Wang family, where would he mention it?

So San Lang simply solved the fiefdom problem that the emperors of previous dynasties had not solved without blood, and there will be no such problems in the future. He discussed with Mu Fushu, even if he gave birth to ten or eight sons in the future (Mu Fushu really didn't think that he could give birth like a pig), he would rather divide them into such as Bangzi County, Japan County or Nanzhao Zhenla, and would not let the children and grandchildren divide the Great Sui.

Mu Fushu's family business in his previous life is also like this, the family business will be left to the heirs, and everyone else will share some money or real estate, and stocks or something will also be divided, but they will definitely not talk about the distribution of equity, and they will definitely ensure that the heirs hold the most shares, and the identity of the major shareholder will never change.

It's the same with a country, there must be no more vassal kings to pay tribute or anything, you must know that in a disaster year, the vassal king not only does not pay tribute, but also has to allocate funds from the court for disaster relief.

What is this called? The benefits are all occupied by the vassal king, and the court blocks it for you in case of trouble, and this day is too leisurely!

Saburo's longevity was on June 19, and the exact date of his birth was kept secret, and no one except a few people knew it.

June 19 is the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva attains enlightenment, and Saburo's birth on this day is also an auspicious day for the zodiac.

Early in the morning, all the gates of Chang'an City were opened, and Mu Fushu prepared 8,000 instant noodle cakes to distribute at the city gate.

These instant noodle cakes are made by Mu Fushu according to the modern method of instant noodles, packed in oily paper bags, because there are no preservatives, and the weather is getting hotter, and the paper bags are printed: Eat them in three days.

The instant noodle factory tendered by the Ministry of Household has also been put into operation according to this wind, and in the near future, instant noodles will start from Chang'an City to the entire Dasui.

The crown ceremony was held in the Qilin Palace, and the eldest princess, the king of Shu, the king of Han, the king of Han and other only remaining descendants of the Yang family were present, and Mu Fushu also sat behind the scenes to participate in the entire crown ceremony.

San Lang is the emperor after all, and the whole crown ceremony is both grand and insightful.

When the crown ceremony is performed, the crown is first crowned three times in turn, that is, three hats are worn in turn.

First of all, a cloth crown made of black linen material is added, indicating that it has the qualification to participate in politics from now on and can assume social responsibility; Then a leather jacket made of white deer skin was added, which was a military hat, indicating that from now on he would have to serve in the military to defend the territory of Sheji; Finally, a plain crown with red and black is added, which is a top hat that was common in ancient times, indicating that you can participate in the sacrificial ceremony from now on.

After the three crowns were completed, they were supposed to meet their brothers, the praisers, and their aunts in the room. And now San Lang is the biggest, so naturally he doesn't need to meet anyone, but he just thanked the King of Shu and met Yang Weiai again.

After that, Saburo took off the hat and clothes he wore when he was crowned for the last time, put on a dragon robe, and took Mu Fushu and the witnesses of the crown ceremony to the front hall to participate in the longevity feast.

The banquet of the Wanshou Festival is the menu prepared by Mu Fushu himself, each person also has a bowl of longevity noodles, the bowl of San Lang is made by her own hands, and the same as the people who participated in the banquet, are a whole noodle plate in a large bowl, before eating, the father-in-law Xi stood on the high platform seriously and uploaded the message of Her Royal Highness the Queen: This noodle must be eaten in one bite, not allowed to be bitten, in order to congratulate the saint on his birthday, implying that the saint will live a long and long life!

So the whole banquet hall could hear the sound of sucking noodles, Mu Fushu smiled and watched Saburo coil the noodles into a large ball and stuff them into his mouth, his cheeks bulging like a frog, and he squinted his eyes with a smile......
