Chapter 1048: The Imperial Examination
"Send this map and information to the king of Rencheng County, and let him study more." Li Jing pointed to the intelligence and map in front of him and said: "I am not old, while I am not old, I will do more things for the imperial court, this is the most important thing." ”
"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty loves the heart of the king of Rencheng County, and the Chinese military minister of the dynasty understands it!" Duchenne hurriedly said. Li Qiao is in charge of an army of more than 100,000 people, and when he is fighting outside, it is inevitable that some people will gossip.
"Send the eighteen Hepu pearls sent by Lu Shisang not long ago to the palace of Rencheng County. I don't know how many treasures there are in the palace, there is no need to hide everything in the palace, when the Rencheng County Mansion was opened, I didn't send anything, this time it was made up. Li Jing smiled. He didn't care.
Du Xing was secretly shocked in his heart, that Hepu pearl is about the size of an adult's thumb, and the most important thing is that each one is an average size, very rare, a real treasure, one is worth a thousand gold, and now it is given to Li Qiao by Li Jing so indifferently, which shows Li Jing's trust and love for Li Qiao, which is probably unmatched by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
"How is the imperial examination going, the place for the examination must be arranged." Li Jing said: "After all, they come from all over the country, even if they can't all be talents, it's good to be able to get one or two." "The exam is an exam that Li Jing added before the palace exam, after all, this is not the exam of Datang's own people, and there are scholars from all over the country, these scholars are all admired, according to the reason, they should be treated well, and all of them should participate in the palace exam.
But if you want to participate in the palace examination, it is not possible for anyone, at least, the imperial court must first understand the true level of these people, not anyone who is a cat or a dog can see Li Jing, so there is a meeting examination in front of the palace examination, which is to select hundreds of outstanding talents to enter the palace examination among the candidates who enter the Beijing Division. The talents in the palace examination are the talents that Li Jing wants.
"It was arranged by Lord Zhao personally, because there are so many people taking the exam, so it can only be arranged in the forbidden military academy, but the weather is better, so it is quite convenient to take the exam on the school field." Duchenne hurriedly said.
"Choose some cooks, take care of the students for two days, and you can sleep in the barracks, anyway, after the exam, you have to go to the barracks to exercise, and it's good to enjoy it in advance." Li Jing stood up, looked at the palace in the distance and said: "There can't be any accidents in the imperial imperial examination, from now on, the secret guard will have a good look at those who participate in the imperial examination, and can't let the enemy's spies get mixed in." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the secret guard will definitely identify the traitors inside." Duchenne hurriedly said.
"Actually, it's nothing, in the imperial examination, if the spy can get the first place, it is also a talent, such a talent, I would rather the enemy send more over. Although they are enemies, if I destroy them, will such people not be used by me? Li Jing shook his head, thinking that this situation could not happen, and even if it did, it would be a good thing for him.
"Your Majesty is open-minded, rare in the world." Duchenne patted his ass and said.
"Even so, we still have to be careful, the possibility of these people pretending to be scholars is very small, but if they pretend to be scholars to disrupt the venue, or even kill scholars, if this kind of thing really happens, it will be the shame of the court, and the shame of your secret guards." Li Jing's face was straight, and he couldn't help but say.
Du Xing's originally happy expression, at this time, his complexion changed, if this is really the case, his own dark guard commander is considered to be the end, and compared to the former, such a thing is really possible. As long as a scholar has a problem, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty will deteriorate, and will anyone dare to come to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination in the future? Thinking of the opponents of the dark guard, the Golden Wolf Guard and the Wind Wave Pavilion, they may not be able to make a move at this time.
"I'll go down and investigate." Du Xing's expression was flustered, where did he dare to stay here, he quickly withdrew from the main hall, and rushed towards the yamen of the secret guard command, more than 10,000 people in the imperial examination, there were many people, and there could be no problem, Du Xing felt a lot of pressure on his body.
The next day, the forbidden military school has long been under martial law, Zhao Ding personally led the officials of the Ministry of Rites to sit on the school field, and a lot of wooden houses have been built under the stage, in fact, it is only a few steps in size, closed on three sides, like a small examination room, not only a place to shade the sun, but also a small bed for these examiners to rest. From this aspect, it can also be seen that the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to the first imperial examination, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to create such a large examination room.
"The soldiers in the army are patrolling, will it put pressure on these candidates." Zhang Zeduan, as the Yin of the Jingshi Mansion, and he is very famous in the literary world, was also transferred this time, but he just looked at the soldiers patrolling the school field, and said with some worry.
"If there is no pressure at all, the pastor will not be able to achieve any major problems in the future." Zhao Ding shook his head and said: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to this imperial examination, these people will become the middle talents of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and there are even Zaifu talents in it, if they can't even bear this little bit of formation, how can they be used?" ”
Zhang Zeduan nodded again and again after listening, stopped talking, and looked into the distance, the entrance to the arena had long been closed, countless soldiers stood there to protect the entrance, and many people gathered outside to watch. Zhang Zeduan knew that among these people, there were actually many secret guards who haunted them, just to prevent enemy spies from infesting them and sabotaging this imperial examination.
Soon, the drum sounded, I saw a lot of scholars slowly entering the school field, some of these scholars are handsome, some are in the wind, some are young talents, some are gray-haired, without exception, these people's eyes are full of light, this is the yearning for hope, as soon as you enter this door, it is like jumping over the dragon gate, and life will be different from then on.
To Duchenne's surprise, there was actually no accident at the scene, and there was no enemy sabotage, perhaps the enemy did not expect this scene, or in Bianjing City, no one dared to come to make trouble, etc., until the time of the opening of the book, nothing happened, and the students all found their own exam locations in accordance with the normal order.
After the three-way drum was finished, Zhao Ding stood up and loudly announced the official start of the Wushen imperial examination in the second year of Hongwu. It also indicates that a new batch of talents will emerge in the bureaucratic system of the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, in the Taiji Hall of the Tang Dynasty, Duan Mingcheng and Gao Zhenyuan also walked into the core of the Tang Dynasty with anxiety and excitement.
