Thinking of this, Liu Rong immediately picked up the bamboo lacquerware and got up, and hurriedly said to the king: "Hurry up and prepare the car, and go to the workshop on the outskirts of Chang'an."

Since Liu Rong arrived at the workshop on the first day, he often has to go to this workshop, so Wang Sheng naturally knows it.

But I didn't want His Highness to be so anxious today, and after being stunned for a moment, Wang Sheng hurriedly said: "No! The slave and the maid will go."

Chen Ajiao, who was standing on the side, was unhappy at this time, and brought a basket of peaches, this cousin Liu Rong not only did not eat a bite, but also knocked over all these peaches to the ground, and then picked up the bamboo basket containing peaches and was excited.

"Humph!" After a cold snort, Liu Rong noticed that Gillian put this in front of him.

Only then did he turn around and step forward to coax Chen Gillian, "Gillian, don't be angry, can my cousin take you out of the palace to play?" ”。

It's like Liu Rong is completely the same, coaxing a little girl, but Chen Ajiao just eats this set, and these days she is accompanied by her mother, Princess Tao Liu, who entered the palace to visit the Empress Dowager Dou, and Liu Concubine serves her grandmother on weekdays, but Chen Ajiao has nothing to do.

Naturally, he often comes to Liu Rongzhi's bedroom, and Liu Rong is not often in the dormitory on weekdays, except for the time of court discussions, he also has to go to the court office, so whenever Gillian comes to look for Liu Rong, he often can't find him.

At this time, when he heard that Liu Rong was going to take him out of the palace, he immediately turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "Where is my cousin going to take Gillian to."

Liu Rong didn't say much, even if he pulled Gillian out of the palace gate, "You'll know when you arrive."

And when the two of them went out of the palace gate and went down the steps, Wang Sheng leaned forward and saluted: "Your Highness, the car is ready."

Then the two of them got into the car and wanted to leave, the emperor was about to catch up with the car, Liu Rong seemed to remember something, pulled the curtain on the side of the car and said to the king: "Go quickly and order someone to go to Changle Palace to inform the eldest princess that Gillian is going out of the palace with me."

"No!".

Liu Rong knew that his eldest princess aunt paid more attention to Chen Ajiao than to her two sons, Chen Huan and Chen Xu.

Solidly, if you don't take Chen Ajiao away without saying it, I don't know what Liu Concubine is going to say......

After leaving Chang'an City, after walking for more than half an hour, I arrived at the door of the workshop, got out of the car, and saw a ragged workshop in front of me. ”。

Seeing Chen Ajiao like this, Liu Rong stepped forward and reached out to hold Gillian's hand, and said, "Gillian don't be afraid, come with your cousin."

As soon as the two entered the workshop, the old man stepped forward and saluted Liu Rong and said, "Meet Your Highness."

Immediately, Liu Rong said: "No courtesy, how is the paper?" ”。

Hearing this, the old man sighed. "Back to His Highness, there is no great progress."

And Liu Rong smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I consult ancient books in the palace, and I use lime to make tender bamboo or paper!" ”。

Of course, this old man naturally couldn't think of how to make paper from lime and bamboo, but since His Royal Highness the prince said so, he naturally obeyed it immediately.

And Liu Rong long before he came here, he ordered people to look for tender bamboo, Chang'an is far away in the land of Guanzhong, and does not produce bamboo, to tender bamboo, but also from the rest of the place.

These craftsmen had to be ordered to try out the paper with the only young bamboo.

Liu Rong also had to sigh: "It seems that it is impossible to use paper to make these people use it during the imperial examination."

……………………………………………………………………

However, when Liu Rong ordered these craftsmen to rush to make paper, it was the time of the first examination.

In this imperial examination, Chang'an City gathered scholars from several counties in Guanzhong, and some people who traveled thousands of miles from Qiqi day and night.

Originally, in the eyes of the ministers, it was just a relatively novel exam, but it gathered so many people in Chang'an City.

Chang'an ordered Wei Ming to send all the soldiers in the Chang'an Order to stabilize the order of Chang'an, and later saw that there were not enough people, so he had to report to Neishi Kangning, so Neishi decided to decide.

Seeing this, Neishi Corning was also amazed that this imperial examination could attract so many people.

However, the stability of Chang'an order is an extremely important matter, and if there is any chaos in Chang'an City, it will be known to the Son of Heaven at any time.

At that time, it will be difficult for him to protect himself, so as soon as the internal history received the report of the order of Chang'an, he immediately sent out the soldiers and officials in the internal history mansion to stabilize Chang'an, which was boiling at this time.

Later, seeing that more and more people came, Kang Ning had no choice but to choose the most effective strategy, and asked His Majesty to send someone to stabilize the situation in Chang'an.

To report this matter to the Son of Heaven is to admit to the Son of Heaven that he is incompetent, and he can't even stabilize the order of Chang'an, so what kind of face does he have to be the highest official in the history of Gyeonggi.

However, Kangsheng naturally weighed the pros and cons of such a move in advance, and finally decided to play it.

In the eyes of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, Liu Rong's imperial examination strategy was still very immature at this time, and he originally wanted Liu Rong to toss it first, if he tossed something famous, he would personally come out to pick peaches, if not, it would not be a big deal.

When he received the report of Kangning's recital, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, noticed that he could not imagine that this imperial examination would have such a great attraction, and if it was implemented in the entire Han family in the imperial court, I don't know how many people wanted to take the examination.

However, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, quickly calmed down, and the large number of people who came to take the imperial examination did not necessarily attract talents.

However, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, still personally summoned and ordered Tang Wu to transfer 3,000 soldiers from the south to assist Kangning in stabilizing the order of Chang'an.

……………………………………………………………………

However, on the day of the preliminary examination, many people gathered in the several examination centers set up in Chang'an.

Although Liu Rong asked him to participate in this matter, he did not let any of the three of them be the examiners of the imperial examination, but asked him to assist him.

Liu Rong is very clear that these three people are too stubborn and hateful above academics.

Ji Di this person is in addition to Huang Lao's learning, other schools are not looked down on, and the master father Yan was bullied by those Confucian scholars as early as when he was in Qidi, and looked down on him, who first learned vertically and horizontally, and then changed to the Confucianism that prevailed in Qidi.

And Zhang Tangna is not to mention, people who study the law, since the founding of the Han family, have been like rats crossing the street, and they have never done a good day.

However, the experience of history tells us that the more popular the school of thought, there will inevitably be divisions and disputes within it, and the more declining the school, the more united it will be, let Zhang Tang be the examiner, and he will definitely try his best to make the scholars of the Legalists pass the initial stage.

Solidly, Liu Rongcai did not use any of these three people, and the examiners used were all subordinate officials in Jia Yi and Chao Cuo's office.

As early as the day before yesterday, after Jia Yi and Chao Cuo discussed, he first ordered someone to post a notice in Chang'an City, and those who wanted to participate in the imperial examination should first go to any examination center in Chang'an to register in advance, and the registration time was two days, and the day of the imperial examination was to be taken in batches according to the order of registration.

Sima Xiangru, who lived far away in the suburbs of Chang'an, originally studied the Chinese law hard in the house where he lived, but for Sima Xiangru, it was not difficult to write a strategy, but he did not understand the Chinese law at all.

However, Sima Xiangru still thought that it would be okay to go early on the day of the imperial examination, but he didn't want to sign up in advance. When he heard that he still had to sign up, it was only two or three hours before the registration was over, and Sima Xiangru drove into Chang'an like crazy.

When he arrived at the nearest test center, it was only half an hour before the end of registration, and when he stopped the carriage, Sima Xiangru sighed, "God has lived up to me, and I finally caught up."

However, at this moment, a carriage also arrived here, and a person dressed as a Confucian immediately got out of the carriage, panting and said, "I finally caught up, caught up."

Sima Xiangru saw the person in front of him, although he looked a little embarrassed at this time, but he was not very old, but he had an extraordinary bearing, so he arched his hand and smiled: "The foot is also to refer to the imperial examination this time?" ”。

Hearing this, the Confucian scholar turned his head and saw Sima Xiangru bowing to him.

Confucian people are most interested in etiquette, seeing the other party bow to themselves, how can they not return the salute, one of them is the crown on the head, then the noble salute said: "That's right."

However, when the two got up, they looked at each other and smiled.

At this moment, the little official in charge of the filing of the report before kneeling on one side of the book case coughed lightly: "The two of you are going to apply for the imperial examination, and there are only two moments left at this time."

Hearing this, the two reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to sign up.

"I don't know your name?" The little official lowered his head and held a pen and asked.

However, he didn't say who he asked, and this person dressed as a Confucian said: "I see that the right person is the first to come, and please go first."

In this way, Sima Xiangru is not polite, even if he said: "The name is Sima Xiangru."

"Where?".

"People of Shu County".

After writing on the bamboo slips, the little official took out a wooden row, wrote the name of Sima Xiangru, handed it to his hand and said: "At the moment of tomorrow, the order of the preliminary examination of the imperial examination will be posted here, please watch it as early as possible."

Then he said to him: "On the day of the imperial examination, you must hold this card to enter here, and you must collect it."

Originally, Sima Xiangru didn't know what he was going to do with his name written on this wooden card, and then he knew that he had to rely on this to enter the examination room, and even if he put it into his arms, in case he lost it.

However, Liu Rong handed over all the matters of the preliminary examination of the imperial examination to Jia Yi and Chao Cuo, and started to be the shopkeeper himself, and the two of them were very busy, how could these two people make Liu Rong idle.

He threw some cumbersome things to Liu Rong, how to identify the identity of the person who came to the examination on the day of the examination.

So many people, one by one, I don't know when I will verify it.

As Liu Rong, who has experienced countless exams in modern education, he immediately thought of an "admission ticket".

However, it is impossible for the admission ticket of the Han Dynasty to have a photo and ID number, or an exam number.

Liu Rong found another way, found a group of skilled carpenters in Shaofu, and asked them to make them day and night, and made a batch of wooden cards with special marks to make admission tickets.

However, when he saw these wooden signs, Liu Rong also saw the difference, and it was under the guidance of these carpenters that he saw the special features of this wooden card.

When he saw this at that time, Liu Rong also had to sigh that the craftsmanship of these carpenters was simply incredible, and if it was an ordinary craftsman, it would be difficult to imitate it.

After Sima Xiangru, it was the turn of the Confucian student to step forward, "Where do you know?" ”。

"Qididong County ............".

Then he took out a wooden card and handed it to him.

However, after the Confucian put the wooden plaque into his arms, he turned to Sima Xiangru, who had not yet left, and said: "I have seen your excellency at first sight, I wonder if I can invite you to a banquet?" ”。

However, Sima Xiangru laughed and said: "This is not the day to drink, if you drink it, you will be punished."

The Confucian also smiled and said, "It's just sweet wine, it doesn't matter."

Sima Xiangru naturally likes to drink very much on weekdays, and when he heard someone mention it, he finally couldn't stop it, so he said: "Since this is the case, thank you for your invitation."
