Chapter 944: The Long See
According to Zhao Yu's modern aesthetics, Wang Yu is the beauty in his mind, with delicate facial features, tall stature, bumpy figure, especially the two long legs that are fascinating. It's a pity that in this era of weakness as beauty, she is not welcomed, and it also makes her feel a little inferior, she rarely speaks on weekdays, and it is pitiful to be with all the women.
"Oh, why did Concubine Chen say this?" Zhao Yu looked at Wang Yu and said. Today, he is wearing a long yellow skirt, a collarless shirt of the same color, combing a high bun, a little fat powder on his face, and a good figure, everyone will be excited.
"Concubine Chen sits here and talks about the official family!" It is estimated that everyone has the little emperor's squinting eyes, and Chen Shula, who was sitting next to him, pulled Wang Yu's sleeve and asked her to sit over, just next to the little emperor.
"Sit down, it's easy to talk, or the official family will squeeze over!" Zhang Ping, who was sitting under Wang Yu's hand, also nudged it with his hand and said with a smile.
"Concubine De wants to go to the past, why use me as a cover!" Wang Yu glanced at the emperor, twisted her body and said angrily.
"Yo, Concubine De is still shy!" Chen Shu pulled Wang Yu up, pressed her seat again, and said with a smile.
"Ignore them, a bunch of crazy babes!" Zhao Yu knew that the more tense he was at this time, the more interesting they would be, and they would continue to 'tease' themselves, so they simply became more generous, and took Wang Yu's hand and sat down next to him, of course, what they thought in their hearts.
"Official...... I! ”
"Tell me what other allusions there are!" Zhao Yu could feel Wang Yu's nervousness, her body trembled slightly, obviously she had never been so close to a man, especially in front of everyone, he squeezed his cold little hand hard, and said softly.
"Hmm!" Wang Yu felt the temperature of the emperor's hand, and gradually calmed down, and agreed softly, "The concubine once heard an old news, saying that in the second year of Jianyan, after the southern crossing, Lin'an was set to be in the line, and Gaozong issued an order to open a branch to take scholars. However, due to the long-term war, the loss of classics, the wandering of scholars, and the closure of the official schools of the academy, the topic of this opening was extremely simple. ”
"It is said that there are no propositions in strategy and theory, only use your own strengths, compose poems if you can compose poems, and write fu if you want to write fu, as long as you can barely pass the eye. The reason was simply the war, the dispersion of the imperial court and local officials, and the urgent need to fill the vacancy. As a result, many of these newly promoted officials could not even understand the edicts, and they did not know anything about the imperial decrees, which made it difficult to understand the decrees. ”
"The concubine thinks that the official family must have encountered the same situation, but she is worried that these new science and technology scholars will repeat the mistakes of the past and be embarrassed by the big responsibility, so she feels that it is better to lack than to abuse, so she simply does not take it, let them re-enter the school, so that they can be used later!" Wang Yu said, looking at the emperor with adoring eyes.
"Haha, you are really my daughter-in-law...... Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing when he heard it.
"Official, did the concubine say the wrong thing?" Not only Wang Yu was stunned, but the others were also stunned, not knowing what it meant, and after a while, she asked timidly.
"That's right, especially if you say good things about me everywhere, but that's not the case!" Zhao Yu stopped laughing, still holding his hand and said, "When the Xing Dynasty moved to Qiong, there were tens of thousands of officials who moved with it, and Qiongzhou was just a place, so the redundancy of officials at that time was extremely serious, not that no one was available. And the reason why I still open the department under this circumstance is that you are the national prince as you say, so that it can be used later; At that time, Meng Yuan tried his best to win over the Jiangnan scholars, and my move was also to compete with them for talents, so as not to be used by the enemy. However, I am very happy that you can put yourself in my shoes, defend me in everything, and do not regard me as a wicked person. ”
"The official family is the most partial, Concubine Chen just said a few good words, and the official family was full of praise!" Chen Shu stopped doing it, and said coldly.
"What did the concubine say, let the official family also spoil you!" Wang Yu is not very old after all, and it is when she likes to joke, she pulls out her hand and pulls Chen Shu back into her seat and pushes her into the emperor's arms.
"Okay, it's the most things, let's get down to business first!" Zhao Yu caught Chen Shu and pressed her on the seat, patted her face and said.
"Humph!" Chen Shu snorted coldly and twisted her face, no longer paying attention to him, but she didn't make any more trouble.
"Queen, if according to the old system of Renzong, those who pass the provincial examination in each subject must be admitted, can there be a certain number?" Zhao Yu turned to Wu Xi and asked.
"Officials, the admitted Jinshi are different from dynasty to dynasty." Wu Xi thought for a moment and said, "The Yingzong Dynasty has shown the disadvantages of redundant officials, and it is convenient to rule the three-year edict and the tribute court, and in the future, it will open every three years. At the same time, in view of the increase in the number of students admitted to each examination, the number of subjects is more than that of Jinshi, and it is stipulated that Jinshi shall be three-quarters of the number of Jinshi admitted in the fourth year of Huangyou, and Jinshi shall be limited to 300 people. ”
"Well, as far as I know, there have been many changes in the books used in the imperial examination, but is there such a thing?" Zhao Yu nodded, and then asked.
"What the official said is good. There is no definition of reliability in the early years, it is nothing more than the Four Books and Five Classics of the sages. Later, Wang Jiefu advocated the imperial examination to be based on scriptures and righteousness, and listed "Mencius" as one of the examination subjects, so as to change the disadvantages of studying poetry behind closed doors, and entering the official position, which is not practiced in the world. In the fourth year of Xining, the new system of tribute that he advocated the implementation of stipulated that people should no longer take the examination of poetry, scriptures, Moyi, etc., but take "poems", "books", "Yi", "Zhou Li", and "Book of Rites" as the scriptures; The Analects and Mencius are concurrent classics. Wu Xi replied.
Wang Jiefu also thought that the imperial examination was based on the Confucian classics, but the annotations were different, and he rewrote the "Shiyi", "Shuyi", and "Zhou Liyi" from the viewpoint of the "new learning" he advocated, which was collectively called the "Three Classics and New Meanings", which was promulgated in the school in the eighth year of Xining as a reading book. In the year of Yuan You, the new school was defeated, but the school of science and the Shu school had not been taken seriously, and it was only proposed that Wang Jiefu should not use a private school to order the world's scholars to explain, but asked to use the words of the families, and to add poems to the examination, but did not restore the scriptures and Moyi, and had divided into two subjects, and the scriptures and poems were restored. ”
"Until the end of Shaoxing, although the imperial examination was still based on the interpretation of scriptures and meanings by new doctrines. Later science began to rise, and in the early years of filial piety, science and new science became prominent. After the middle period of Ningzong, science gradually occupied an advantage in the imperial examination, and after the first year of Emperor Chunyou, science became the mainstream, and Xinxue and Shu were completely excluded in the imperial examination. The concubines thought that all the ministers in the court were studying science, and the current exam questions should be based on science classics. ”
"Well, it should be. When Cheng Zhuzhi's theory prevailed, Jiangnan scholars also regarded it as orthodox, even if it was to be changed, it would take time to recompile it, and it could only be used for it at the moment. Zhao Yu nodded and said thoughtfully.
He already understood that in order to unify his thinking and select officials who supported reform, Wang Anshi used Xinxue. Under the support of Qin Hui and Zhao Ding, the science gradually emerged, which shows that the content of the imperial examination also changes with the tendency of the ministers and the chief examiner and the development of the situation, and the scholars can only passively follow them to achieve the goal of 'one morality', just like the modern Olympic sports will be supported, but the non-Olympic events will be gradually neglected, or even cancel a reason.
"Does the government want to make some changes?" Wu Xi saw that the little emperor was frowning, as if he was thinking about something, and asked out loud.
"Hehe, I am a shallow learner, I can't do a single poem, and I only know the surface of the scriptures and history, where do I dare to change it. Even if I take the palace exam, I'm afraid I won't be able to understand what they wrote! Zhao Hao laughed at himself embarrassedly.
"The official family is humble, Governor Ying, Governor Jiang and Deng Zhongcheng are all great Confucians in the world, and the official family has been taught by them for many years, how can they be so unbearable!" Wu Xi said with a smile.
"I know that you don't believe it, if it weren't for me being the emperor, I'm afraid I would have been expelled from the sect long ago. If you don't believe it, you can ask Sister Su! Zhao Yu pointed to Su Landao, who was waiting beside him.
"Su Gongling, is this the case with the official family?" Wu Xi turned to Su Lan and asked.
"Hui Niangniang, as far as the slave maid knows, Mr. Ying has been teaching the way of the official holy king, Mr. Jiang teaching the art of war and the way of using soldiers, Mr. Deng will teach the history of the hand scriptures, and Master Yuan Miao will teach the official martial arts. Mr. Ying said that the official family is the wise king of the world, and the king of the world is really the luck of the Great Song Dynasty and the luck of the people; Mr. Jiang said that the official family is a genius in the sky, comparable to Sun Wu, and can be the commander of ten thousand armies, and can strategize; Mr. Deng said that the official family did not follow the sages, deviated from the scriptures, was familiar with the scriptures and history, and was proficient in encyclopedias, and the articles were barely readable, but there were also amazing words from time to time, and it was difficult to become a big tool; Master Yuanmiao's evaluation is that he is lazy, stupid, and mediocre in qualifications, and he can't succeed if he doesn't fight! Su Lan replied.
"So the official family is often punished?" Wu Xi asked anxiously.
"Mr. Ying and Mr. Jiang have good tempers, and the officials have only reprimanded a few words; Mr. Tang was so quick tempered that he would whip him at every turn, so that the officials were still very afraid; And Master Yuan Miao is as anxious as fire, and if he makes a slight mistake, he will serve with a ruler, but the official family is the most respectful to him! Su Lan continued.
"I heard it, when I was young, I was often beaten several times a day, but I couldn't learn it!" Zhao Hao said with a bitter face.
"The official family must be in pain, right?" Chen Shu listened and said distressedly.
"Mr. Deng is a scholar after all, his skin is rough and thick, and he can endure it for a while. And Master Yuan Miao, he can smash this stone fence with just one palm, can he shoot lightly? The corners of Zhao Hao's mouth twitched twice, still palpitating.
"Can the official family also smash this stone fence with one palm?" Chen Shu listened to it but became interested in it, and asked with two big eyes.
"I can smash this table a few times, and I can slap your little head into the neck, do you want to try!" Zhao Yu glanced at him and said.
"Sanniang, can you do it?" Chen Shu stuck out her tongue and asked Li Sanniang on the other side.
"If it's a normal wooden table, you can still try it, but this table is made of fine mahogany, and it's so heavy, I can't do it!" Li Sanniang shook her head and replied.
"Isn't that official family very powerful?" Chen Shu asked again.
"Of course, even if a warrior in the army can smash this table with only the power of his palm, I am afraid that there is no one in a thousand miles, and it takes hundreds of catties of strength to do it. And the official family is still young, and after a few years of hard work, he can also smash the stone fence, and then he can be called a master! Li Sanniang said. And looking at the little emperor's gaze is also a little strange, she is also a person who practices martial arts, she knows the hardships of it, the little emperor has just passed the year of the weak crown has such skills, and the hardships to endure are far superior to several times that of others.
"Oh, it turns out that the official family is so powerful, the concubine doesn't dare to bully you anymore!" Chen Shu confirmed His Majesty's strength, and then realized that the little emperor was just letting himself in the past, otherwise ten of her would be enough for the little emperor to fight alone.
"Hmph, I can take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies, you should really be afraid of you little girl!" Zhao Yu straightened his face and snorted coldly.
"The concubine is guilty!" Chen Shu also hurriedly put on a deputy lady and saluted, "Eh, the official family is not good at history, and it is difficult to judge the merits of the palace test, I think of the method of Taizu to take the champion back then, and the official family may wish to follow suit!" ”
"Oh, tell me about it!" Zhao Yu was most worried about this matter, thinking that Taizu was just a martial artist, only less ink than his stomach, just a little bit of it, just a little bit to learn from.
"Well, back then, Emperor Taizu liked talented and quick scholars, so he often used the first to answer the question as the champion. In the eighth year of Tianbao, Taizu personally presided over the palace examination again, and the tributes who took the examination were familiar with Taizu's habits, so they accelerated their speed to answer the questions, but in the end, the tribute Wang Sizong and Chen Zhi handed in the papers at the same time. Choosing who to be the champion in this way will make the court worried......" Chen Shu agreed and spoke.
Things were very dramatic, and Zhao Yu also applauded the 'wit' of this old ancestor. Who is the champion in the end, stumped the up and down of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin felt that his head was big, although he was good at sports, but in that era when there was no stopwatch and video playback, he could not make further scientific and accurate judgments, thinking about it, he made a move that can be said to be unprecedented: the champion of the competition!
As for the specific items, it is not as good as the eighteen weapons, but rather than hand-to-hand combat, which was called "hand-to-hand combat" at that time. The venue of the competition is set in the martial arts hall, saying that on this day, hundreds of officials gathered, the Son of Heaven sat in the hall, Wang Sizong and Chen Zhi, the two players, after a war drum sounded, rushed to the arena, opened their teeth and claws, punched and kicked, and even hugged and fell, and began an unprecedented hand-to-hand fighting competition of liberal arts players. These two people are equally talented, but they didn't expect that the martial arts were also equal, and after a few rounds, the points were basically equal, not to mention who knocked whom down.
Let's say that in the case of equal martial arts, who can win depends on how to make the yin moves, Wang Sizong is quick to pull the opponent's hat. Chen Zhi was bald, so he subconsciously went to protect his head, but was hugged and fell to the ground, without waiting for the referee's ruling, and without waiting for the opponent to throw a towel, Wang Sizong immediately ran to Zhao Kuangyin and shouted: "The minister wins." Zhao Kuangyin couldn't laugh, and immediately agreed: Okay, your kid is my Great Song Champion......
