Xie Yu was silent for a moment, feeling a little strange, so he asked again: "Uncle, this Enke is not as important as you say, nephew, I have heard it many times, some people belittle Daqian Enke, saying that this kind of nondescript imperial examination is simply insulting, many people are very unaccustomed to Enke, I have never heard anyone praise Enke, it won't be ......"

As soon as Xie Xiong heard this, he knew what Xie Yu was going to say, so he then spoke: "Yu'er, you live in an ivory tower and don't know the suffering of the people, how can you know that it is difficult for the people to come out of the people!" ”

"Enke does seem a bit nondescript, but it is one of the few fairer ways to progress, as long as you are literate and proficient in technology, then you can almost pass the imperial examination and then enter the court as an official. Such people, although they are not as proficient in officialdom as you children of the family, but they themselves are talents, talented people, everywhere is lacking, they are more appreciated and arrogant by their superiors, they have a lot of opportunities in officialdom, slowly grinding, officialdom they will understand! ”

"So looking at the important ministers of the court, many of them are late bloomers, and most of these people are from Enke, so you must not underestimate this Enke!"

"And I think that the great cadres can have more than 300 years of national fortune, and they are still undiminished, and I think it has something to do with this Enkeda. Think about the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty, how civil and martial arts it was, and the national fortune is still less than 300 years, you can know the vitality of this great Qianenke! Xie Xiong said with some sighs.

Xie Yu listened, but he didn't speak, just listened quietly.

After a pause, Xie Xiong said again: "It's just a pity, Enke hasn't been held for more than ten years." To say something from my uncle's heart, although it is a little inauthentic and a little ungrateful, my uncle still wants to say that the first emperor has been in power for more than ten years, and the national strength of the great cadres has decreased a lot! ”

As soon as Xie Yu heard this, he understood what his uncle meant.

My uncle complained that the first emperor had not held Enke for more than ten years, which was a political loss of points, and this was also the main factor causing the decline of the national strength of the great cadres!

Because Daqian Enke, although it is indeed the subjective behavior of the emperors of various generations of Daqian, it is all held according to their own preferences. But over the centuries, this has become an unspoken rule of politics.

As for the first emperor, he obviously did not understand this system in place, and did not hold Enke for more than ten years, which blocked the road of many people of insight in the people for more than ten years, so that the vitality of officialdom was suppressed, and the officialdom was filled with a large number of bureaucrats, and the atmosphere of lenient officialdom also bred a large amount of corruption, and the administrative effectiveness of officialdom was thus reduced, and the control of the central court over the localities was further reduced, which also caused the decline of the national strength of the great cadres!

Xie Yu listened, but he was silent, although he thought that his uncle's words were biased, but there was still some truth.

But in his heart, he firmly remembered his uncle's words about Da Qianenke, and because of this, he benefited a lot!

……

The next day, October 26th, the weather was sunny, the sun was shining, the sky was high and the clouds were white, what an autumn scene!

And today, it is also time for another issue of the "Daqian Royal Weekly" to be issued, and this is already the fourth issue.

At this time, there were newspaper sellers and newsboys everywhere in Yanjing City, which was a new profession, and they were employed by the subordinate institutions of the Daqian Royal East Factory, and most of them were orphans. Because of this, the group of orphans on the ground of Yanjing has almost disappeared. This can be regarded as a great merit, which Zheng Wen did not expect!

And this part of the newsboy crowd, after growing up, still has some talents, which has also led to a fault line in the underworld crowd in Yanjing City.

They walked through the streets and alleys, shouting loudly: "Selling newspapers and selling newspapers, big news, Your Majesty ordered to open Enke, the scale is grand, unprecedented, go through the ......"

"Here's a copy!" A man who looked like a scholar interrupted the newsboy.

"Okay, Yiwen, thank you for your patronage!" The newsboy said with a smile on his face, and as he spoke, he pulled out a newspaper and handed it to the scholar.

After the scholar had paid the money, he stood where he was, read it carefully, and when he looked at it, he saw two big words "Enke", and then looked down, it was an introduction to Enke.

This Enke, as the newsboy shouted, is large-scale, unprecedented, involving mathematics, law, water and other subjects of the scientific examination, the number of admissions is twice that of the Taizu period, and the time is June next year!

When the scholar saw this, he was ecstatic! It's been more than ten years, and the court finally opened Enke, and suddenly there were tears in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be happy.

He is not from Yanjing, he has been coming to Yanjing for six or seven years, and he belongs to "Jingpiao", just to wait for Enke of the court. His name is Ding Liu, he is a native of Taiyuan, his family belongs to the small landlord class, and he has a talent that surpasses ordinary people in counting since he was a child, but he has repeatedly failed to take the imperial examination, so he took the examination to show his talent, which is regarded as extinguishing the idea of being an official. Although he belongs to the class of scholars, he obviously can't meet the conditions for being an official, and he doesn't have a strong relationship with his family, but he is unwilling to drag his family to Yanjing, just to wait for Enke!

It's six years to wait!

He took the newspaper and flew home, wanting to tell his wife the news and make him happy.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw his wife, Li Shizheng, talking to an elderly woman.

His wife Li is a beautiful woman, since he was a childhood sweetheart, she has always encouraged him not to give up, these years she is in the house, taking care of the family, he found a job in the accounting room, only barely mixed in Beijing to make a living, the family in Beijing to live like a person!

I saw that the elderly woman was standing in the courtyard and said to his wife Li: "Under the roots of this imperial city, so many things have happened in the past two months, which makes me, an old woman, feel uneasy, I can't sleep all night, I don't know when it will be a head?" ”

His wife, who was sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground with a broom, paused before she spoke, "Yes! It has indeed been unquiet in the past two months, and this Yanjing City makes people feel depressed, but after all, it is His Majesty's new enthronement, and it will be fine after a while! ”

"It's just that the new emperor ascended the throne, I wonder if it will open Enke? Why hasn't the news come out yet? It makes me feel anxious and scared, and it's uncomfortable! ”

When the old woman heard this, she echoed and said, "Yes! I haven't opened Enke for more than ten years, my house is empty, and I look at the people who have rented my house and I'm afraid that they are going to quit the rent......"

Before the woman finished speaking, Ding Liu pinched the newspaper and broke in, his face was full of excitement, and when he saw Li, he said in an excited tone: "Madam, Your Majesty has issued an order to open Enke!" ”

As soon as Li saw Ding Liu, he put down the broom, greeted him, listened to Ding Liu's words, and immediately smiled, and said incoherently: "Buddha bless, Bodhisattva bless, Jade Emperor bless, finally open Enke......"

Ding Liu also smiled when he saw his wife like this, and did not interrupt her thoughts, but only looked at his wife quietly with a smile on his face.

At the beginning of the morning sun, shining on the two of them, it is a happy picture, there is true love in the world, love does not need to be vigorous, plain, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, long-term companionship, mutual support, is the most beautiful true love in the world!

But the elderly woman on the side interjected incomprehensibly at this time: "Ding Xianggong, is it true?" Did the court really open Enko? She said with some disbelief.

At this time, Li also came back to his senses, with tears of excitement in his eyes, and looked at his husband silently, waiting for his next step.

Ding Liu listened, his smile remained unchanged, he raised the newspaper in his left hand, and said loudly: "Wang Po, that's still fake, this is the content published in the "Daqian Royal Weekly". ”

"Your Majesty ordered the opening of Enke, which will be held in June next year, this time Enke is large-scale, referring to the Enke held by Emperor Taizu when it was held, and the number of admissions has doubled, which is simply unprecedented!"

"Hehe, soon this capital will gather people from all over the world, and this capital will soon be overcrowded, and it will be even more lively!" Ding Liu said with a smile.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately smiled and said with a smile: "Oh, great, my house will be rented out soon, no, I have to go home and clean up immediately!" ”

"Farewell! Two digits. After speaking, he bowed to the two of them, and went back in a hurry.

The husband and wife also bowed to Wang Po, and the two glanced at each other, and then they each smiled.

After a while, Li said to Ding Liu again: "Husband, congratulations!" ”

"Rejoice together, our good days are coming!" Ding Liu also said with joy on his face, and suddenly used his free right hand to hold the Li family's person, feeling a little rough.

Li's face immediately turned red, and he glanced at Ding Liu coquettishly, and when he struggled, he saw that he couldn't break away, so he went with him.

The two of them walked hand in hand in this small courtyard.

After a long time, Li Shi said: "Husband, you don't have to go outside to work in the past few months, study at home, strive for high school in one fell swoop, and live up to our waiting in Beijing for so many years!" ”

Ding Liu listened, nodded at Li, and then said: "Madame is right, this time the court held the largest Enke exam, involving many subjects, although the number of admissions is large, but it has not been held for more than ten years, presumably there will be a lot of participants, I really should put aside the miscellaneous things, and have a good precipitation." ”

After listening to his husband's words, Li Shi said with some worry: "Husband, since so many people are participating in Enke, will you ......" Li Shi's voice became smaller as he spoke. It turned out that the Li family was worried, so he said it without words, but only then did he remember that this was unlucky, and he immediately stopped.

Ding Liu knew what his wife was going to say as soon as he heard it, but he didn't blame it, so he smiled and comforted: "Madame, don't worry, I, Ding, asked myself if I couldn't find a few opponents in counting, and I would definitely be able to pass the Enke exam this time." ”

"Put aside miscellaneous things and settle for a few months, just to get a good ranking, so that Your Majesty can remember me as a person, and fortunately, I can go further in the officialdom!"

"It's rare to fight in life, this time I'm going to fight for a lot, I've been fighting for decades, how can I fight for a day!"
