Chapter 250: The big exam is approaching
Since ancient times, the heart of the monarch is unpredictable, and Xuan Shijing knows better than anyone else, even His Majesty Li Er can't jump out of this circle, so it's better to be prepared. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Master Hou, will Your Majesty really send someone to the Shenhou Mansion to investigate?" Long'er asked.
Xuan Shijing smiled and nodded: "It will definitely be." Then he sighed: "Even if it doesn't, be prepared, this matter has already involved His Royal Highness the Prince, so you must be extremely cautious." ”
Long'er nodded thoughtfully.
"By the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that some officials who came to Changzhou to take up their posts in Changzhou were attacked when they passed through the hunting grounds in the eastern suburbs, and these thieves did not hurt their lives, but they were just punched and kicked and released again, have you heard anything about this?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"There is no such thing, but many people who eat here are talking about it, saying that some officials have been out of the city for a few hours, and then they turned back in disgrace, but let the people in Chang'an City have a good meal and guess, could it be that those people were put back after being beaten by thieves in the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs?" Long'er said in surprise.
"Eight or nine are not far from ten, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked His Majesty for his life and accepted this case, but the prince is the prince after all, and it is impossible for **** to investigate the case outside the palace, so in the afternoon, His Royal Highness the Prince entrusted this matter to me." Xuan Shijing said.
"Then Master Hou should go?"
Xuan Shijing nodded: "That's right, this is not an opportunity for our Shenhou Mansion. Speaking of this, Xuan Shijing smiled: "The ability of the Jinyi Guards in our Shenhou Mansion is not much worse than that of the people in the Hundred Cavalry Division, and when everything is on the right track, I still have to give them a good lesson." ”
Xuan Shijing didn't bother to say, now His Majesty Li Er's Hundred Cavalry Division is like the rat crossing the street, no one in Chang'an City wants to see it, but all this is also a cycle of cause and effect, and it was also because His Majesty Li Er had just sat on that place, and there were dissidents in Chang'an City who didn't know how to go, so the Hundred Cavalry Division came into being.
Now, the Shenhou Mansion created by Xuan Shijing does not plan to follow the model of the Hundred Cavalry Division, the Hundred Cavalry Division is disgusting, and Xuan Shijing's Jinyi Guard will be admired in the future, and it will make Xiaoxiao afraid.
"Master Hou wants to use the case of the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs as a good start for our Shenhou Mansion?" Long'er asked.
"Exactly, during the day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave a conjecture, I think this conjecture has some truth, that is, the one who committed the murder in the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs is a person from the green forest." Xuan Shijing said.
"Why are you so suspicious?" Long'er was puzzled.
"At that time, I followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the guards he brought out to investigate the hunting grounds in the eastern suburbs for a long time, and I didn't find a trace of them. Xuan Shijing touched his chin and analyzed: "There was such a big movement, and the people around him did not react, which is even more unusual, so, I guess that the person who committed the crime may not be a local, but a foreigner, so the people around him did not pay attention to them in their eyes, after all, Chang'an City is so big, there are so many people coming and going, just those Fanbang people and Hu Shang, every day from the Ba Bridge out of the geometry, if the surrounding acquaintances commit crimes, there must be abnormalities before the action, and these abnormalities, It is impossible to hide from the eyes of so many people. ”
"Besides, if a local beats an official of the imperial court at the foot of the Son of Heaven, isn't this his own death?" Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
"If it's really a person on the Green Forest Road, then it's easier to do, as long as you let Uncle Qian send a letter of resignation to the hands of all the masters, I believe there will be results soon." Long'er said: "Hou Ye also said just now that the people who had the accident were all officials who were going to Changzhou and its vicinity to take office, so will these perpetrators come from there?" ”
"It's very likely, so now in Changzhou, I also have to ask someone to inquire, tomorrow I will ask Fang Yiai to sort out the list of officials who have been beaten as soon as possible, and then ask someone to find out their details in Changzhou to see if I can find out any suspicious points." Xuan Shijing said.
Long'er nodded: "Then tomorrow I will go to discuss with Uncle Qian about writing letters to the various masters on the road." ”
Early the next morning, above the morning court, after the ministers sang the salute, the secretary of the ministry began to talk about a major event at the court meeting, that is, the spring examination.
Originally, there were more than 50 kinds of subjects in the imperial examination, such as Xiucai, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Junshi, Ming Law, Ming Characters, and Ming Calculation, but unfortunately the subjects of Ming Law, Ming Calculation, and Ming Characters were not taken seriously. Junshi and other subjects are not held frequently, and only the two subjects of Ming Jing and Jinshi are left, which are the top priority.
This big test, Xuan Shijing came back to understand a little, if it is said that the selection of the Ming Jing and Jinshi are all nerds, it is not necessarily, the Jinshi test is the current policy and poetry, articles, and the Ming Jing test is the current policy and the scriptures, no matter which one is examined, you can't avoid this time policy.
In the final analysis, they are all big truths for governing the country, but what the people of Datang really need are these big truths? The people only care about farming at four o'clock, how can they eat and clothe themselves, and how can they eat according to God's face......
Thinking of this, Xuan Shijing lowered his head, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, throughout thousands of years of history, he had never heard of a craftsman who made more time-saving and labor-saving tools for the people to be respected, nor had he seen those who brought corn, peanuts, tomatoes and other crops to the Central Plains to become famous......
It's really inexplicably sad..... After all, there are Mr. Li and Mr. Yuan.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty did not have the talk of martial arts, so when it came to the imperial examination, all the civil officials were discussing strategies one after another, and the military generals were standing silently on the side with their eyes and nose and nose.
Every time I catch up with the spring exam, it is not surprising that Shangyuan is about to start spring.
The imperial examination, for the candidates, may be a good opportunity for the carp to jump over the dragon gate, for the imperial court, it is a good opportunity to select the meritocracy, and for the family, there are more people who can be won over by all parties, and for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, it is endlessly busy, the arrangement of the examination room, the examination of the candidates, and the most important thing is the test questions of the examination papers.
Of course, before the big exam, it was not only the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites that were busy, but also the Dali Temple could not escape such a situation, and when it came to the big exam, the inspection of the entire Chang'an City should also be strict.
Nowadays, Xuan Shijing rarely goes to Dali Temple, and generally stays in Xuanwu Tower after the early dynasty, or takes it with him in Shenhou Mansion.
The establishment of the Shenhou Mansion is still early, and there are some things that still need to be handled by Xuan Shijing, such as the secret room in the prison cell, Xuan Shijing plans to secretly expand it and make the secret room a place for the Shenhou Mansion to store archives.
Here, Xuan Shijing was thinking about the affairs of the Shenhou Mansion, and in the court, he was discussing for the chief examiner of this year's big exam. (To be continued.) )
