Early in the morning, Sun Xiangfu put on his ceremonial clothes under the service of Hongmei and Chun Tao, he and Xiao Yu are the deputy examiners of this imperial examination, in the ceremony he designed, canceled the worship of Confucius Temple and other things, but by the two of them with six subjects were selected students, for a grand street tour of praise, and finally will go to the gate of the imperial city to pay homage to the emperor, and watch the top three in each subject into the imperial city, enjoy the Qionglin banquet, the reason for this design, of course, is also to stimulate all students, diligent learning, and strive for the top three.

Sun Xiangfu said to take 5,000, but it's really not a joke, early in the morning, the garment workshop of Happy Village, will transport thousands of sets of newly designed lifting clothes to a camp outside Mingde Gate, 5,000 of the lifted children, will be changed here for a set of cotton fabric made of long pants and long sleeves, the clothes and pants are very thick and warm, stuffed with cotton, there is a pair of pockets on the chest and waist of the jacket, and there are pockets on the left and right of the pants, the whole is dark green, and the military uniform of later generations is somewhat similar, but there is no design collar and epaulettes.

On their left chest, there will be a silver badge pinned with the inscription 'Zhenguan three years, Ming Fa Ke Juzi.' Or "Zhenguan three years, Ming Xuan Imperial Juzi" and other words, silver badges, in the first rays of winter sunlight, shining, so that the people who wear them have honor, this set of equipment, in the future, will be their official uniform, and the symbol of the status of interns.

As for the champion, Bangyan and Tanhua, not only there are silk fabrics, show beautiful patterns of red cotton jackets to wear, but also equipped with gold badges, the production of this badge, for the happy village is very simple, as long as there are gold and silver raw materials, in the workshop of the happy village, after carving the steel mold, it is just a gravity press poke, you can make one, but it does not take effort.

The most important thing is that the Sanjia Juzi can ride a tall horse with red silk flowers all over the body to parade the streets, and there is no need to walk the entire Suzaku Street like an ordinary Juzi.

At dawn, the five thousand lifters changed their clothes in front of the Mingde Gate, formed a fairly neat procession, and walked towards Suzaku Street behind dozens of gongs and drums covered with colorful silk.

On the cart, hundreds of gongs and drummers beat festive music, even on both sides of the lifting team, there are hundreds of sergeants with red silk tied on their waists and waist drums, sending each other off, which immediately attracted the people who love to watch the excitement in Chang'an City.

The reason why such a lively ceremony is held is to inspire the people's desire to learn, and I believe that as long as everyone's economic conditions keep up, they will definitely be willing to spend a certain amount of money on reading and learning art to strive for this glory.

Of course, in the world, there are always people who are happy, some people are sad, and those who are selected are naturally indignant, because his test score is obviously higher than many of the selected lifters, but there are no them on the list of winners, which makes them feel unfair, and once this kind of unfairness exists on a large scale, they will spontaneously organize themselves and ask for explanations.

So, when the procession on the street was only a hundred steps away from the gate of the imperial city, and the emperor's guard of honor had appeared at the head of the imperial city, a group of young candidates wearing scribe robes rushed through the obstruction of the martial marquis who closed the street, ran to the center of the street, and stopped the advancing team.

"There is injustice in the imperial court's selection of scholars in this imperial examination, and the examiner dares to confront the students, in front of His Majesty, and the people of the world."

Xiao Yu and Sun Xiangfu, who were standing in the front row of the car, saw this situation and smiled at each other, as if they had expected this scene.

"The old man knows you, before, you were the one who led people outside the Mingde Gate, stopped His Majesty's car, and questioned the new imperial examination system!"

Hearing this, the people watching around seemed to remember something, and when they looked at the group of students holding up the test score list, there was a hint of mockery in their eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Qian's face darkened, but then he straightened his chest and said loudly, "If you don't know, you ask, as a scholar, it is reasonable to worry about national affairs, and it has been proved that the questioning under is correct, this imperial examination, there is indeed injustice, so I asked the two examiners if they dare to confront the king." ”

Xiao Yu turned his head to Sun Xiangfu and asked, "Zhengming wants to prove his innocence in front of His Majesty with the old man?" ”

Sun Xiangfu replied with a smile, "That's nature. ”

"Well, this student, the old man doesn't know your name, but in the end, I have to confirm with you again, are you serious? The crime of falsely accusing the two second-class members of the imperial court is not small! ”

Hearing this, Lu Qian was a little evasive, but thinking of the scores on the imperial examination list, he gritted his teeth fiercely and shouted loudly, "Everything you do below is for justice and justice, what's so terrible." ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, he nodded and said, "This is very good, Your Majesty is on the imperial city a hundred steps away, the old man will let you wait for the first step, and confront the old man at the gate of the imperial city!" ”

When Lu Qian and the others held up the score list with a tragic face and walked towards the gate of the imperial city, Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and said to Sun Xiangfu, "Zhengming's guess is really right, the interests of these families are damaged, and they will definitely jump out and disgust people." ”

"Hehe, gradually, they will all become clowns, who can be used by the country, maybe they can continue to be rich, if they can't, the end will not be too good."

After the initial completion of various reform measures, the family will at least lose more than 30% of the power in the past, and after ten or eight years, after various types of talents in the Tang Dynasty have been cultivated, it is impossible for the family to control the imperial court by relying on knowledge monopoly as before.

Only when the people are rich, can they have the economic strength to study and learn various skills, before this prerequisite is solved, you do some other technological upgrading, it is also in vain, the people are poor and have not even solved the problem of food and clothing, where will there be any leisure to read, even if you create cheap pen and ink books, simple and easy to learn reading methods, they will still not put down their hoes to read, but will only use the only money they earn, to change rations, to buy clothes, because, regardless of food and clothing, people will be dead.

Only the people at the bottom know the cruelty of society best, Sun Xiangfu has experienced that taste from the moment he just came through, so even if there is some hatred and unhappiness in his heart, he has to endure it, now, the day when the people are rich is coming, then, the day of digging the foundation of the family is about to begin.

On the imperial city a hundred steps away, Li Shimin had a full view of everything just now, he had more money in his pocket, and the force under his command was stronger, so his temper would naturally be greater, so he turned his head to Wei Zheng and asked, "What crime should these people be guilty of disrupting the order of the court three times and twice?" ”

"Well, the Ministry of Justice has been newly established, and the new law has not yet been revised, according to the old law, these people have the status of scholars, blocking the road and admonishing them, they can only be expelled, and the punishment will not be increased."

"Can only be evicted? This law is wrong, it has to be changed, and it is a big crime to disturb the order of the imperial court, even if it is an official, there is a punishment of cutting off the official and removing the post, not to mention that it is just an ordinary scholar who has not yet been released, and he will be sent to the Shanyang Labor Re-education Center for life Re-education through Labor. When Li Shimin heard this, he became more and more angry.

"Your Majesty, the sentence to life re-education through labor is a bit too heavy, and the minister suggests that their crimes be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial and the verdict will be announced publicly, and the sentencing should be handled according to the opinions of the jury, and if Your Majesty has any objections, it can be dismissed."

After Wei Zheng went back yesterday, he studied the construction of the legal department given by Sun Xiangfu for most of the night, and the more he studied, the more he thought it was true, however, Li Shimin still didn't know what he and Sun Xiangfu were talking about, so he suddenly said the name of the jury, which made Li Shimin look confused.

"Your legal department has a new process in place?"

"It's almost ready, and it's just right to test these troublesome students."

"Oh well! The result of the penalty must be reported to me for approval. ”

"No."

When Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and others were asking and answering questions on the city wall, Lu Qian had already led everyone to the gate of the imperial city, raised his head and said loudly, "Cao Min raised a lawsuit against Xiao Yu, Sun Zhengming, the chief examiner of the current department, for committing illegal things, manipulating the imperial examination, and corrupting the imperial program, please make a decision." ”

For this guy who even has roughly the same lines, according to Li Shimin's temperament, he should be killed on the spot, but there is no way, now he must show a loving look in front of the people all over the world, in order to win the hearts of the people, he forced out a smile and stretched out his head to the city and said, "I welcome all the people to sue the officials for lawlessness, as long as you are justified, however, my ministers also need to maintain their reputation, if you are unreasonable or make false accusations, I will also have a company to sentence you and others for their crimes in accordance with the law, do you know? ”

"The grass people and others know that Xiao Yu and Sun Zhengming are in high positions, and they are unscrupulous and lawless, which makes people unbearable, and their conclusive evidence has been mastered by the grass people and others, so they have come here to report to Your Majesty in person."

"Is that really the case? Submit the evidence, and in addition, pass Xiao Yu and Sun Zhengming to answer. ”

Li Shimin said a word, and immediately an attendant came out from the side gate of the imperial city, and collected the test score list that Lu Qian and others held in their hands, among them, there was also a love letter written by Lu Qian and others, which roughly summarized the score of the test score higher than the score of the winner, but it was not summarized by the list of people who were selected.

Among them, more than ninety percent of those who stopped in front of Mingde Gate last time were not selected, in their opinion, this is a kind of revenge for Xiao Yu and Sun Zhengming for making them lose face because of their own people.

After a while, Xiao Yu and Sun Xiangfu came to the gate of the imperial city, and did not enter the palace city wall, but drove Lu Qian and others to the side first, and then respectfully raised their heads and saluted Li Shimin on the city wall.

"Chen, Xiao Yu."

"Minister, Sun Zhengming."

"Lead a total of 5,000 people to meet with Xie En and ask Your Majesty to receive a gift."

"Long live my emperor······"

Thousands of people bowed down and bowed to Li Shimin on the city wall three times, Li Shimin waved his hand, and the inner attendants immediately shouted loudly to excuse themselves, and all the students and the people who were watching were silent, waiting to see a good show.
