This fool is obviously so cowardly, but how dare he do such a profit-seeking thing.

The smell in the prison is really bad, and Dongfang Qiu looks like this completely crossed.

Wu Sansi really didn't even have the heart to hit him.

Not wanting to stay any longer, Wu Sansi asked the most important question directly.

"What did you say that day before the Son of Heaven drove?"

Naturally, someone passed on the matter in the small hall that day, but the matter was very important, and he had already returned to the capital.

If you don't ask in person, it's always a little uneasy.

Hearing King Liang's voice, Dongfang Qiu slowly poked his head out of the state of curling up like a ball.

After waiting for a while, he fully reacted, and then struggled to climb to the edge of the fence.

Wu Sansi didn't wait for him to say anything, and directly snorted.

"Say"

Dongfang Qiu sobbed and repeated the answer in the small hall that day, which was consistent with the news that Wu Sansi had gotten.

This idiot Bi Jing didn't have the courage to tell him about the list he gave him, and he took the ills of those seventeen people by himself.

After asking this, Wu Sansi asked another thing that seemed to him to be equally important.

"How much do you know about the Qinghe Li Xingzhou who led the Gongsheng to make trouble this time?"

Wu Sansi didn't care about Li Xingzhou at all, and the status gap between the two was too far.

Now he is focused on the supervision of the Sanyang Palace, which makes him even less concerned.

This is true even when the lyrics and titles of those songs are moving.

But as soon as the Gongsheng riot came out, especially after the edict of reopening the scientific examination, the leader of the scholar who made trouble in front actually became the new chief examiner, many powerful families in the Shendu began to inquire and collect the news of this Qinghe scholar, and Wu Sansi was no exception.

After this inquiry and collection, Wu Sansi was shocked to realize that he had neglected too many things during this time to be busy with Sanyang Palace, such as this... Li Xingzhou!

A small literati caused his dignified His Royal Highness King Liang to be in a hurry and embarrassed.

Can Wu San Siyan not hate?

Hearing the name "Li Xingzhou", Dongfang's thin soulless face suddenly shuddered, and now this name has become his nightmare.

Since the appearance of this Qinghe scholar, he has fallen straight from the Oriental scholar who had just made a big splash on the trip to the Dragon Gate of the Holy Queen to his current situation.

From the merry bachelor who is proud of the spring breeze to the prisoner who is now in the middle of life and death, this experience really makes Dongfang Qiu reluctant to look back and think about it.

But since His Royal Highness King Liang asked, Dongfang Qiu couldn't help but say it.

So he told Li Xingzhou's news all over again.

Wu Sansi really regretted it after hearing this, if it weren't for being too involved in the construction of the Sanyang Palace, just pay a little attention, Li Xingzhou would not even have the opportunity to participate in the scientific examination that day, why would he make so many things behind?

After asking what he wanted to ask, Wu Sansi turned around to leave, and before leaving, he looked at Dongfang with a blank eye, and his heart was inexplicably happy again.

Rao is like this, Wu Sansi is not satisfied, and deliberately stabbed.

"So that you know that now that the imperial court has abolished your subject, the scientific examination will be reopened in 20 days, and Li Xingzhou will be one of the main exams."

When Dongfang Qiu heard this, he was stunned at first, but after a while, he laughed, and his laughter was really like a ghost crying, and the people of Lu were at the extreme.

Wu Sansi, who was already about to leave, stopped and turned around when he heard this laughter, frowning.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at the way of heaven, and the retribution is not happy; I laugh and say that I am not lonely, Li Xingzhou's cheap student will come to accompany me soon."

After speaking, Dongfang Qiu laughed a little more.

Since the outbreak of the Gongsheng riots, Dongfang Qiu has never had this moment of happiness.

Wu Sansi walked back again, staring at Dongfang Qiu who was crawling on the ground with burning eyes.

"What do you mean? Say! ”

"Since the customization of the scientific expedition, which subject has never had an accident? In the past, the scholars did not dare to make trouble, but they always cared about the laws of the court and the thunderbolt methods of the Son of Heaven. This time, after the release of the scientific examination list, not only did the scholars make trouble, but the leader actually became the chief examiner. Isn't this a good way to tell the Gongsheng to make trouble? Wait for the results of this reopened subject to come out. Those who didn't win, and felt that they didn't meet the talents, now that they have such a good precedent in front of them, how can they not make trouble? ”

Li Xingzhou Yan couldn't have imagined this. The king may tell you that he has made many statutes to prevent malpractices in the field, and these statutes are praised even by His Majesty, and all of them are complied with by the royal authorities."

Of course, Wu Sansi didn't want to speak for Li Xingzhou, but he just couldn't see Dongfang Qiu's happiness that poked him out of the big leak.

The laughter of the Oriental ghost is still crying.

"It's useless, the Ming Sutra and the Ming Law are fine. Jinshike, which has the most candidates and attracts the most attention, cannot be prevented even if it is against cheating."

"Why?"

"Fu is just a child, how to judge the poem and regret it". ”

As the Dongfang ghost chirped like fire, Wu Sansi finally understood what he meant.

Nowadays, the imperial examination is based on poetry. The poetry originated in the Yongming style of the Southern Qi Dynasty during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the Six Dynasties are really not too far away from the present.

From the Yongming period of the Southern Qi Dynasty of the Six Dynasties to the present, the poetry as a poetry genre has only just been finalized.

Poetry belongs to literary art, and artistic things are the most difficult to judge.

Unless the gap between the two works is too big, if the level is only between the two middles, it must be said that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable. And you can't say that the other person is necessarily wrong.

It's simply a thing that can't be distinguished between right and wrong.

In this case, a reasonable and acceptable standard is needed to make a judgment.

The question is that even the poems are just finalized, or even in the process of being finalized, what is the standard?

There is no standard, you take this song but not that one, isn't this itself a source of controversy?

Even if there are strict anti-fraud measures, the judgment without standard judgment itself is the biggest drawback.

With this drawback, how can the scholars be convinced?

Not convinced, but it is such a high-interest event, and there are precedents to follow, so they don't know how to make trouble again?

There are two in everything......

In Dongfang Qiu's view, abolishing the previous scientific examination is really the biggest stupid thing the imperial court has done.

Since then, the imperial examination has been eventful!

Ordinary people can't see this congenital internal injury defect, how can Dongfang Qiu, who is a poet and has been the chief examiner, not see it?

hit the nail on the head, pointing directly to Li Xingzhou's biggest weakness.

These words are really reasonable, Wu Sansi's face is not moving, but he is secretly happy in his heart.

This joy has not faded, and Dongfang Qiu gave him an even greater surprise.

"What's more, Li Xingzhou, a, has offended some people he can't afford to offend at all? The stricter he made the anti-fraud regulations, the deeper the offense. ”

Wu San thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of an answer, "What person?" ”

"Cui, Lu, Li, Zheng, and the old Shilin clan led by these four families. Since the customization of the imperial examination, which time has there been no children from these four families among those who have entered the list? ”

Hearing these four surnames, even Wu Sansi's face changed.

These four surnames refer to four families, namely the Boling Cui family, the Fanyang Lu family, the Qinghe Cui family, and the Rongyang Zheng family. These four families seem to have never produced any prominent officials in the dynasty, but if they talk about the big roots and deep roots, they are unparalleled in the world, and they are actually recognized as well-dressed and beautiful families in the world, and the best family in the family.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the power of the clan gate lords was high, even to the point of abolishing the king in a word. Six dynasties into the Sui, and then from the Sui to Li, until today's Wu Zhou, although the rulers of the past dynasties are deliberately suppressing the gate valve, but after all, the time is too short, the power of the gate valve, especially the influence of the people, is deep-rooted, is far from the end of this suppression.

It was not even until the end of Li and the fall of the Li Dynasty that the Shizu Gate Valve withdrew from the stage of history.

In the past, Wang Xie had long since disappeared, but the four families of Cui, Lu, Li, and Zheng completely survived, and have survived until now, and they are still alive and well, very nourishing.

Regarding the great prestige and influence of the four families, there is a good record in the seventh volume of "Duty to View Political Leaders" "Lile":

When Zhenguan, the world took Cui Lu Li and Zheng Si surnames as precious, and Taizong hated them. It is the official department of Shangshu Gao Shilian, the imperial historian Wei Ting and other publications are surnamed, and the world is blamed for the butterfly, and according to the historical biography, cut its flashiness, and determine its authenticity. The loyal and virtuous praised and the rebellious were deposed, and it was written as the "Clan Chronicles", and the crowd took the Cui clan of the Tuishan Jishi clan as the first.

Taizong was disgusted with the situation that the world valued the surnames of Cui Lu and Li Zheng Si, and specially commissioned the "Clan Chronicles" with the intention of changing this situation, but who knew that the "Clan Chronicles" written by his subordinates still recommended the Boling Cui clan as the first in the world. Even the Longyou Li family, who was born in Taizong, can only rank fifth.

This alone shows the influence of these four ethnic groups among the people, especially in the hearts of the people. These four families are self-respecting and do not intermarry with foreigners, so that once a foreigner can marry these four surnames, they are immediately ecstatic, thinking that they have entered the ranks of the well-dressed and beautiful families in one fell swoop.

In response to this situation, the later Li Dynasty had to force the four families not to intermarry in the form of an edict from the Son of Heaven.

At the same time, the Boling Cui clan is also the first "horse family" in the three hundred years of Li. ”

Guy is so famous among the people that even the royal family is willing to marry him as a princess. In the history of the Li Dynasty for more than 200 years, this family alone has produced dozens of horses.

All of the above have made these four families with the same spirit become the most influential families in the entire Li Dynasty among the people and have great potential power in the court officialdom.

Not to mention Liang Wang Wu Sansi, even Zuo Xiangwu Chenghei was absolutely unwilling to offend these four families before he ascended the throne for a day.

Today, these four families are naturally no longer able to grasp the military power, and their influence is mainly rooted in the people, projected on Shilin, which can be said to be a well-deserved Shilin leader family, and the center of the world's scholars.
