After the end of the court, several Confucians began to volunteer to organize this Shangshulang exam, but Li Jun refused, and the Confucian set of "benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith" Li Jun also liked it very much, which was very beneficial to the ruler to manage the world, but it was very harmful to the whole nation, so Li Jun did not think about "deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone".

It wasn't once or twice that the Confucian people were rejected by the emperor, so they didn't take it too seriously, but when the people of the Legalist family and the Huang family saw that the Confucians were deflated, they couldn't help it a little, and they began to jump around, and in desperation, Li Jun had no choice but to make an order: "The prime minister is the chief examiner, and the imperial historian is the deputy examiner, and in the end, I will decide." ”

As soon as Li Jun's holy decree came out, all the families and factions were honest, this is the protégé of the Son of Heaven, who dares to rob the apprentice with the emperor?

On this day, Xiao Wangzhi sent the set exam questions to Li Jun, Li Jun looked at the test papers and frowned and said, "Teacher, how come these are all subsets of scripture and history, I want talents who can help me deal with government affairs, not for them to come and talk to me." ”

Xiao Wangzhi immediately said: "It's the old minister who is stupid, Your Majesty, please rest assured, the old minister will go back and change it immediately." ”

"Okay, then please teacher."

The paper sent by Xiao Wangzhi for the second time, Li Jun approved it very happily, so the exam that shocked the whole country began, and those who didn't take this exam seriously before regretted it.

The examination of fifty people was held in Shangshutai, and the exam was completed in one morning, some people were worried, some people were happy, and the most unhappy thing for Li Jun was: none of the people who participated in the examination were from a poor family, and when everyone inquired about the content of the exam, they got an important information, that is, the proportion of arithmetic is very heavy, and once Ji Meng, the henchman of the Son of Heaven, drank too much, and also revealed a news, that is, this kind of examination will be held once a year in the future, hearing this news, the readers of the whole country are boiling, The study of arithmetic has also become a craze for readers.

Mathematics is the foundation of science and technology, so in order to open the copy of science and technology in the future, Li Jun did not hesitate to throw out arithmetic.

Sima Da is responsible for this scoring, anyway, there are a total of fifty test papers, and the next day Sima Da took the list of the top twenty people to Li Jun, Li Jun took out the two soldiers in it, and added a Legalist and a Confucian, as for the Mo family and the miscellaneous family, the results are relatively high this time, and there is no need to change.

Sima Da asked dissatisfiedly, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Jun said with a smile: "The people of the military family went to my Shangshutai to join in the fun, and the major affairs of the military country are also, I expect these hairy boys to talk to me on this paper, and these three people are all sent to Yulinwei and Long Xiaowei." ”

"No." Although Sima Da still felt that it was still unfair, he still pinched his nose and admitted it......

That night, Li Jun organized a banquet to entertain these Shang Shulang, of course, Li Jun only showed up, and left after a few words of encouragement, according to Huashan's instructions, he was not suitable for drinking now.

Li Jun also gave the banquet a particularly nice name, that is, the Longmen Banquet, Da Changqiu He Shen enthusiastically recorded the list of these people who had not yet married, and at the end of the banquet, Li Jun specially gave a palace maid to these young people who had not yet married.

Although many children of the family look down on those palace maids, after all, it was His Majesty who gave the marriage, and everyone happily admitted it, Li Jun was not ambiguous, all the palace maids who were married this time were twenty-eight years old, and they were all as beautiful as flowers, so when everyone saw these beautiful girls, the unhappiness in their hearts was gone.

A vigorous dragon gate banquet finally ended, Shang Shulang said goodbye home one by one, at the gate of the palace, Ji Meng had already prepared twenty white horses, Ji Meng smiled and put a big red flower on everyone, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, under the orders of Your Majesty, send you home, Your Majesty in order to let Chang'an people see your demeanor, today also specially opened a curfew." ”

"Your Majesty Hong'en." Immediately the people knelt on the ground and said, "Many have wept bitterly, and this kind of glory is indeed rare."

After everyone got up, Ji Meng continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty still has a poem to give to you, the rich don't need to buy good land, there are thousands of bells in the book. There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book. There is no need to hate when you go out without a car, there are many horses in the book. There is no need to hate a wife without a matchmaker, there is a woman in the book who is like jade. The boy wanted to fulfill his life's ambition and read the Six Classics to the window diligently. ”

As soon as this poem came out, there was an uproar, Ji Meng believed that by next year, more people would definitely come to take the exam, and His Majesty also gave the future exam a name called "Open the Subject", Ji Meng also decided to go home and urge his two stinky boys to study, and the risk of being a civil servant is much smaller than that of being a military attaché.

On the city wall, Li Junzheng took Wei Wuji and Xiao Wangzhi to look at the scene below, Xiao Wangzhi arched his hand to Li Jun and said: "Your Majesty is wise, after this incident, all the talents in the world will enter Your Majesty's court." ”

Li Jun sighed and said, "It's not enough, there are still too few readers in our Datang." ”

This is Wei Wuji said on the side: "Your Majesty, you are a little unfair, you have given the literati such a great honor, everyone will go to study in the future, who will go to be a soldier." ”

Xiao Wangzhi reprimanded on the side: "Presumptuous, how can you talk to Your Majesty? ”

Li Jun waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, what my uncle thinks and thinks is also for the country, the way of civil and military affairs, more important than balance, and you must not be biased, so I also sent my uncle a word today: I hope to take it immediately." ”

"Haha, the minister knows, go back and tell the soldiers this sentence." Wei Wuji said happily.

Xiao Wangzhi frowned beside him and said, "Your Majesty, this is preparing to reform the feudal system." ”

Li Jun nodded and said: "Teacher, now the marquis of our Tang Dynasty is too cheap, and any one of them in the capital is a marquis, I feel that if I don't have military merits in the future, don't think about being a marquis, I am not the first emperor." ”

Xiao Wangzhi nodded and agreed, Li Jun was right, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty were very cautious in their marquises, only the first emperor was funny, and he had fifteen marquis in three years, resulting in the marquis being worthless at all.

After Xiao Wangzhi returned to the mansion, the old housekeeper handed Xiao Wangzhi a cup of tea and asked, "Master, how is today?" ”

Looking at the green tea leaves in front of him, Xiao Wangzhi said with a smile: "This tea sent by Your Majesty is really a good thing, it is just a few leaves, but it is infinitely useful, just like Your Majesty uses people, and it stirs up the wind and clouds unconsciously." ”

"Master, what do you mean by this?"

"It's okay, the old man just saw the shadows of some people from His Majesty."

"Emperor Jingtai?"

Xiao Wangzhi shook his head and said, "No, it's Emperor Gaozu......"
