King Xin and Zhou Bida, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, were stunned, and they couldn't imagine that Guan Li could be so unscrupulous and honest in front of Ye Qing.

So the two glanced at each other again, and finally King Shin said: "Since you have met it, then you might as well open it and take a look, in this way, it can be regarded as an example to other students." What's more, this king also believes that with Ye Qing's talent, he naturally disdains cheating, go through the motions and show other students, how about it? ”

At the end of the day, King Xin and Zhou Bida's eyes naturally shifted from the bookbox to the person concerned, Ye Qing.

"Believe in the king, please." Ye Qing saluted and said with a smile.

Princess Xin's beautiful eyes only shifted to Ye Qing's face at this time, and then inadvertently transferred to King Xin's face.

Both men had warm smiles on their faces, but for some reason, she could feel the undercurrent surging between them.

In the final analysis, Zhu Xi was finally excluded from the ranks of examiners, which was inseparable from Ye Qing's words with her in front of the palace saint and the queen that day.

If it weren't for the fact that he and Ye Qing sang and harmonized that day, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the saint to make a decision.

So the next day, the court must have been a little disappointed last week, because the saint exempted Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian from serving as examiners, and the reason was that when Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian were officials, they had repeatedly impeached Tang Zhongyou, the current governor of Taizhou.

Now both of them are resigning, but Tang Zhongyou is still a local official, if Zhu Xi is appointed and dismissed, it will inevitably make Tang Zhongyou, a court official and a local official, dissatisfied, as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, naturally he can't let his courtiers be wronged because of Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian, right?

Such words, although everyone in the court understood that it was just the words of the saint to remove Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian as examiners.

But as a courtier, he can't always lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot, and add a hurdle to being embarrassed and attacked on top of his future career, right?

Therefore, the courtiers above the court knew it, and Zhao Xuan, the king of letters in the palace, was furious.

He didn't dare to be angry with the saint, but he also knew in his heart that the deposition of Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian by the saint was absolutely inseparable from Ye Qing.

Ye Qing and King Xin, who were tacitly concerned, both had good-natured smiles, and their eyes never fell on the bookcase opened by Guan Li.

But Princess Xin, who lowered her head to examine the bookbox, could feel the confrontation between the two men, their purpose and their attention were obviously not related to the bookcase opened by Guan Li.

Zhou Bida and Guan Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, carefully examined it, and Princess Xin intently explored, comparing them with the ones she prepared for Ye Qing yesterday in her heart, and finally it was inseparable between the two.

But even so, Princess Xin still has a trace of dissatisfaction with Ye Qing for no reason, why do you have to take your fiancée to prepare, not me? Just because that night, under the walls of the palace, I said that you want to take revenge on me against the king?

Princess Xin, who had complex emotions in her heart and also had a lot of thoughts in her mind, slowly left with the palace maid Fang Fei after losing interest in the bookcase.

And King Xin glanced at the bookbox lightly, and when his eyes returned to Ye Qing, Guan Li had already begun to search his body himself under King Xin's gaze to see if there were any other places and objects for cheating.

Ye Qing cooperated with Guan Li's body search, stretched out his arms and let Guan Li's hands check from top to bottom, from left to right.

"In that case, this king

Rest assured, this king is here to wish you a good ranking. King Xin waved his hand, signaling that Guan Li could put away the bookcase.

"How can a good ranking be what I want to be able to restore the Yuan Yu Armillary Sphere Image, if I don't get the top spot in the exam, for me Ye Qing, I will lose." Ye Qing was quite arrogant, and said lightly.

Zhou Bida and King Xin looked at Ye Qing's chest with the appearance of a city government, especially King Xin, and couldn't help frowning.

Ye Qing's insights and abilities are definitely something he has never seen in his life, although his talent is not clear, but he is by no means an incompetent person with no ink, but to say that he is talented, it is a little exalted to him.

"The king will wait and see." After King Xin finished speaking, he took the lead in taking Zhou Bida away.

And Zhou Bida saluted Ye Qing and Guan Li, and then left behind King Xin.

It was as if no one had noticed that Princess Xin had left prematurely, as if there had never been a Princess Xin in the place where they had checked Ye Qing's bookbox just now.

When he walked into the examination room with Guan Li, Ye Qing found that it was already full of people, but in the most inconspicuous corner, which is also the cleanest corner of the examination room here, where a table and a chair were placed, there was not a single scholar, but there were two guards from the Guards Division, standing on both sides, as if guarding the table and chairs.

Guan Li smiled and handed the bookcase to Ye Qing and said: "You can sit there for a while now, and after a while it starts, you come out again, in the opposite room, tea and question papers have been prepared, as long as you copy a copy." ”

"Why don't you just go in now?" Ye Qing looked at the table next to him, the white-haired buddy is estimated to be sixty or seventy years old, right? I'm not at home to see my grandson, and I came over to test the wool!

If you ask yourself a question or something, or make small talk to yourself, is there a common language?

And if you ignore him, is it considered an old man who doesn't understand?

"It's a must, and it's possible that the king will come and see it himself, so no matter what, you'll have to sit here for a stick of incense after you start......." Guan Li continued to explain.

"Then if I leave after a pillar of incense, and then the king of letters comes, won't I be able to find out the same?" Ye Qing asked with raised eyebrows.

"No, there will be ways to deal with it when the time comes, such as...... You've already handed in the question and left, and you're in a hurry, etc. Guan Li said confidently.

"Okay, then do as you arranged, I'm really here to go through the motions anyway." Ye Qing carried the bookcase on his back, patted the chair next to him that occupied half of the passage and the young man on the chair, and said coldly: "A good dog is not in the way, what kind of imperial examination do you participate in with your quality?" It's better to go back and forget it. ”

"You...... How do you speak? We are all the same scholars, and you are ....... The gentleman got up from his chair and shot back with some inexplicable expression.

Guan Li, who was just about to leave, smiled helplessly, and beckoned, and the guards at the door immediately rushed in, carrying the scholar and throwing it out, and then said coldly: "When this scholar is seated, you can go in again." ”

"I ......." As soon as the scholar was about to speak, the guard's waist knife had already been drawn halfway, so he had to hold back the next words back into his stomach.

Ignoring the soldier who occupied the aisle and was then brought up by the guards, and even more ignored the examination room, which suddenly became a little silent, he walked to the table guarded by the guards with his bookcase on his back, and after whispering a hard word, he put down the bookcase after the two guards left

, sat on a chair and began to look out the window in a daze.

In Ye Qing's view, since the Song Dynasty, the reason why rebellions no longer appear in various dynasties and generations is inseparable from the imperial examination system.

The predecessor of the imperial examination system was the probationary system formed by the monopoly of high-ranking officials and wealthy families, and the biggest beneficiary of the probationary system was obviously the family of gate lords who ruled the world with the royal family, and these families often had a deep relationship with the family of the founding emperor.

The five surnames and seven wangs before the Song Dynasty have a lot of influence on the people in the world, and it is precisely because of this, coupled with the intricate and intricate relationship between the founding giants, it is easy to cause the gate valve family to easily become bigger, making its influence above the court, or even more than the emperor's family.

As long as you recommend many people you think are useful as officials, even within a generation, you can form a prestige above the court that is enough to compete with the royal family.

And if the emperor's balancing technique cannot achieve balance and control the various families, then under the conflict of interests, it is easy to force the family to rebel.

With the emergence of the imperial examination system, the right to recommend in the hands of the gate valve family was gradually weakened, and with the maturity of the imperial examination system, the five surnames and seven hopes in the historical river gradually declined.

The influence of the gate valve family above the court is getting lower and lower, and there are more and more so-called cold families among the enters, and it is obviously difficult for the gate valve family to compete with the emperor family by itself.

Coupled with the Confucianism's policy of fooling the people, the idea of the family world was instilled and formed in the minds of the scholars, and the ministers of power, ministers, treacherous ministers, and ministers of power came out one after another, but they had to be shackled by the big thinking mode of the world, and they would never be able to go to the other side of the road of rebellion.

Even since the Wei and Jin dynasties, Jiupin Zhongzheng has been adopted, and most of the officials are selected from the children of high-ranking elites in various places.

The children of the powerful can be officials, regardless of their merits. However, many people from humble backgrounds but with real talents and real learning could not go to Beijing and local places to serve as high-ranking officials, which also allowed the family to maintain enough influence and power to shake the imperial family.

With the birth of the imperial examination system to the era when Ye Qing is sitting in the examination room, the imperial examination system has slowly been improving itself after hundreds of years of development, exposing his defects in the hands of the imperial family.

What makes people helpless is that at this time, Zhu Xi's appearance is a perfect connection and makes up for the shortcomings of the imperial examination system.

As a result, everything in Zhu Xi, after the death of the Song Dynasty, became a Quran-like existence in the hands of the ruler.

From the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial examination formed a complete system, which was divided into four levels: the Yuan Examination (i.e., the Tongsheng Examination), the Township Examination, the Hui Examination and the Palace Examination, the content of the examination was basically Confucian scriptures, with the "Four Books" sentence as the title, and the prescribed article format was Baguwen, and the interpretation must be subject to Zhu Xi's "Notes on the Four Books".

Even if it was a nod, Ye Qing was still in a daze outside the window, until an examiner Ye Qing didn't know walked up to Ye Qing and whispered to Ye Qing respectfully: "Lord Ye, you can leave, the opposite room has prepared tea and other things for you, if you are free, you might as well copy it again, the right is self-cultivation, if you are not free, it is okay not to copy." ”

"Uh......." Ye Qing turned his head, with a hint of dazedness in his expression, looking at the examiner in front of him, who was about forty years old, and then picked up the bookcase and smiled: "Then it's hard work, I remember you, thank you." ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Ye, please." The examiner hurriedly whispered a false request, watched Ye Qing carry the bookcase, and left the examination room happily and easily. (https:)
