At the end of August, Liu Guanshan received a notice asking him to take the examination on the third day of September.

The subject examination was a special kind of examination in the Tang and Song dynasties, and it was held very rarely. And the significance of the emperor's holding of the subject examination this time is self-evident.

With the notice being sent, there were several pamphlets issued by the Ministry of Rites--- Liu Kanshan had seen many such pamphlets, but he had never seen such an exquisite one. Obviously, after the defeat of Ava, the court has the money to use good paper and print good words.

On the four glossy pamphlets, the four titles of "New and Old Burmese Everyday Expressions", "Plane Geometry", "Concise Chinese History" and "Provisional General Law" are written from left to right in popular characters, which are completely different from the four books and five classics of the previous imperial examinations.

In addition to these four books, there is also a piece of paper with a seal, on which an edict of the emperor is written in small block letters: "Tang is heavy poetry, Song is heavy on scriptures, and this dynasty is heavy on eight shares." Poetry is useless in governing the country, and the righteousness is limited to dogma. At this time when the country is in danger, I act cheaply and adopt four things as the test questions: to govern the Burmese people, you must understand the Burmese language, otherwise you will not be able to understand its meaning; Arithmetic geometry, the instrument of governance, without these two can not know its population and acres; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall, but if we don't know history, how can we know the gains and losses? If you don't understand the law, how can you punish the name? I hope all candidates can understand their intentions! ”

Liu Kanshan glanced at it briefly, then closed the door and began to study it carefully.

"On the Four Books and Five Classics, although I have also read it hard, but I am afraid that it is not as good as a child in the mainland, and this thing is new to anyone, if I can seize the opportunity, or I can be named on the gold list, and the official will be an official!"

……

When Liu Guanshan was preparing to fight at night, some people were holding the same items and clamoring loudly in a corner of Ava City; Thanks to the imperial court's move from Zhongxing within a radius of a few miles to Ava City for dozens of miles, they finally have a big mansion to make noise.

However, how could they realize that their conditions for the rule were all created by the emperor's wise leadership and the lives of the Ming soldiers?

"Ladies and gentlemen, please look! That's what the exam is about. The person sitting at the top of the table opened the package and passed the book and note to the individual.

Some people got the book and were going to spit on it, while others tried to tear it up, thinking that they had to show it to others.

"There are neither four books nor five books; The subject examination is the system of the Tang and Song dynasties, the Tang Dynasty is heavy on poetry, the Song Dynasty is heavy on the scriptures, and the poems and scriptures in this examination are not examined. What a humiliation! ”

A cynical voice emerged from the crowd. Everyone is also an official who came up from the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination, so naturally they deeply feel the same way. Suddenly, the sound of "righteous indignation" in the house was about to lift the roof.

"Your Majesty must have been deceived by traitors!"

"This move is definitely not feasible, and the people's hearts are behind this move!"

Some people angrily protested.

"But Your Majesty also ordered us to take the exam, if we don't pass, we won't be used anymore!"

"Huh?" Some people are still immersed in the beautiful fantasy that "if the emperor asks them to roll up and get out, there will be no one to use", but unfortunately found that this soap bubble turned out to be ...... Broken?

"How can a group of people who don't know poetry and books and etiquette govern the country?"

"This is a move to teach the law and take officials as teachers, and to be violent!"

In his consciousness, as long as there is Taoism as the guiding ideology, all the problems in the world will be solved, and if they are not solved, then it must not be the problem of Taoism, but the problem of the executor not abiding by Taoism--- that is, the so-called "traitor".

Earthquakes, fires, apocalypse nuclear explosions, droughts, floods, and the Xiaoice River period, all of them are traitors.

As for why it is always the traitor who replaces the traitor, it is not something he can think of.

Uncle Wang Weigong, who presided over this secret meeting, was still sober-minded: "Everyone, be quiet, we all know this truth, but Your Majesty doesn't know, it's useless!" ”

"I have heard that Your Majesty wants to divide Burma into six provinces and thirty-six districts. A few hundred officials will be able to take charge of Ava, and His Majesty also has the idea of a so-called simplified reform of the bureaucratic system: to reduce the size of the six ministries to less than half of what they are now. In this way, at least 400 servants are needed to replace the officials in our residence! ”

"And Your Majesty has selected at least more than 200 people in the army of King Jin, and Zhongxing already has nearly 100 small officials, and has selected dozens of children from those merchant families... In addition, some people in the DPRK and China tend to be inflammatory, and we are resting! ”

After such a brief analysis, the situation became clear, but the unfavorable situation could only bring frustration, and the voice of righteous indignation at first immediately turned into a sigh.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Weigong, who opened a casino before the difficulty of cursing the water, muttered: "Since all the princes say that there are traitors in the court, then who are the traitors?" ”

This is a very controversial issue: because, some time ago, the emperor opened fire on almost all the ministers. They didn't dare to directly attack the general--- Xiucai encountered soldiers, and they couldn't explain it clearly, so they immediately divided into two factions: one thought that Yang Zai, the pig teammate that day, was a traitor, and the other thought that Li Guotai, Yang Qiangyi and other internal officials were traitors.

Of course, there are also people whose brains were struck by lightning and said that Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, but as soon as this kind of person spoke, he was gagged by the trolls arranged by Wang Weigong.

The party that thought Yang Zai was a traitor said: "That day, Yang was on our side on the surface, but what he could do was that the emperor was dozing, so he sent him a pillow!" What kind of mentally retarded questions are asked? If I were to ask, it would be much more complicated than his questions! ”

This so-called standing and talking doesn't hurt his back, and he doesn't know anything and dares to test others.

The party that thought that the internal officials were traitors said: "Before entering Zhongxing City, Your Majesty has never treated us like this!" If it weren't for the slander of an internal official, could it be that Your Majesty had a whim to use the law as a teaching and officials as a teacher? ”

This so-called brain-opening person also --- the internal officials not to hook up with you, why do you want to give benefits to the big-headed soldiers?

Both factions ignore their own problems and turn to attack each other's brains. Fortunately, the defeat of Ava City has improved their lives and moods, and they will not be added to each other.

Wang Weigong looked like "I don't speak, I just watched", quietly waiting for the gang to finish arguing. When they were tired of arguing, Wang Weigong spoke: "Since some of you think that Yang Zai is a traitor, and some think that the internal official is a traitor, then we can cut them all?" ”

"Poof!" someone squirted tea out of their mouth.

"It's... Isn't that easy? Some people who remember Yang on the "Red Wall Secrets" that day objected.

"If he is a traitor, he will die innocently, if he is not, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, his death will also be deserved!" Wang Weigong came forward to build momentum, and he didn't think about whether he was willing to die for the Ming Dynasty.

"What does this so-called Qingjun do?"

Some people with a more sensitive sense of smell pointed out Wang Weigong's intentions.

On the side of the Qing monarch, there are several times in ancient Chinese history: the first time was that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty killed Chao wrongly, and as a result, King Wu did not stop rebelling; The second time was the Anshi Rebellion--- Comrade An Lushan later directly proclaimed himself emperor; The third time occurred in the Battle of Jingjing in the early Ming Dynasty. On any of the three occasions, none of the soldiers looked like loyal and filial sons.

"Qingjun's side, after the clearing, you want to Qingjun? Daring! The Holy Son of Heaven was deceived by traitors for a while, and you and others will rebel? ”
