[I'm sorry everyone, it's a little late]

02 Zong Zezong Rulin.

02 Of course, Han Gang remembers the name.

02, but the reason is naturally different from the big boss of SF Xingjing who came to report the news.

02 In the eyes of the world, Zong Ze is just commenting on military affairs, and it is possible to become an excellent marshal in the future, but it is only possible. It attracted a lot of attention when the war in Hedong was fierce, but it soon fell silent after the war.

02 was specifically mentioned only because Han Gang had mentioned his name, and he had a good relationship with two newspapers - SF Bank was also one of the shareholders of the headquarters of the two major leagues.

02 On Han Gang's side, because of Zong Ze's performance in his future memory, he is more optimistic about his future than other Jinshi in the same department. On the other hand, Han Gang was not impressed by the provincial yuan Zhang Tame, who was reported in the spotlight, and he didn't take it very seriously.

02 "Zong Ze, I remember, the comments on the Hedong battle situation are very good. Han Gang nodded and said, "I heard that there are a few people who want to find him as a son-in-law, but unfortunately it seems that they have already married a wife." ”

02 The big boss immediately added a heavy mark to Zong Ze in his heart.

A slightly ordinary official of the Jing Dynasty, he didn't want to be a court leader to remember his name, let alone more details. It is not surprising that Han Gang can remember Zong Ze and his evaluation of Hedong. But when they all learned about Zong Ze's marriage problems, it was very different. At least at the top, the name Zong Ze is often mentioned. It is not like in the market, which became unknown due to the end of the war in Hedong.

"No wonder I haven't heard of anyone coming to the door to discuss relatives." The big boss said tentatively, "Zhang Xingyuan went to many people's houses over there. ”

02 "Zhang Tao hasn't married a wife yet? Han Gang was surprised.

02 He doesn't pay much attention to Zhang Tao, but it doesn't mean that others won't pay attention to this gentleman who has become famous in the Guozi Prison, and he will invest a long time ago.

02 The big boss knew it in his heart and said, "I don't seem to have heard of it." ”

02 "That's weird. Han Gang smacked his lips and threw it aside.

Whether it is Zong Ze or Zhang Tame, it is not the focus of SF Express's trip to the capital, it is just a matter of idle talk. He came here, because he had something more important to report.

The news that the imperial court would buy cotton cloth and distribute it to the Kansai Forbidden Army had already spread, because of the fear that the supply of cotton cloth in Longyou would decrease, the price of cotton cloth on the market immediately rose by more than 10%. Although the wholesale price of cotton has not changed, there are more cases of competition for cotton cloth, and those retail merchants will not let go of this money and not make money.

At the same time, there were some noises in the Beijing camp forbidden army as expected. Especially in the Fourth Army, the nose is sky-long, and he has always felt that he is only slightly worse than Zhubanzhi and Tianwu Army, and he is a part of the Praetorian Guard, not only looking down on the forbidden army on the outside road, but also looking down on the robes of other armies in Beijing.

Now I heard that those dirt buns in the west could be distributed with cotton cloth in Longxi, but my family could only get some thin silk silk, and my heart immediately became unbalanced. There are already some people clamoring for the court to treat everyone equally.

If it was only the Western Army, hundreds of thousands of pieces of cloth would still be able to support the cotton line. However, if the Beijing Forbidden Army began to require the distribution of cotton cloth for clothing, the annual profit of the cotton store would be greatly reduced.

This is also within Han Gang's prediction, whether it is a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, the people's hearts are like this, "No matter how few or uneven, the words of the ancestors." It's normal to make trouble, but it's abnormal not to make trouble. ”

"But ......" the big boss stopped talking.

"You don't have to worry about that." Han Gang smiled, "It's a matter of Jiangnan cotton merchants." ”

And now it's just some signs, and it hasn't made a fuss yet, so don't worry about it for the time being.

At the moment, it is more important to take the palace test.

……………………

02 After the list of new science and technology scholars is decided, it is the palace examination. Scholars who have the heart to compete for rankings have to work harder. Those who were self-aware began to celebrate—though they did not dare to be too presumptuous until it was finalized, but private gatherings were already daily.

And within the imperial court, preparations for the palace test also began.

02 Since Renzong, the palace examination is no longer dethroned, only the ranking is determined, and the final ranking is still determined by the Son of Heaven - now the Queen Mother - . Therefore, after the list of palace examination examiners is released, there is no need to lock them in the tribute courtyard, just go about their work as usual.

No one will bribe the examiner to ask for a top candidate. The ranking of Jinshi presented by the examiners of the temple examination has not changed over the years. This is the power of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven will definitely use this power. If you put the hope of the champion on the examiners, there will be no results at all, and no one will be so confused.

Han Gang already had a list of candidates for the preliminary examiner, the repeat examiner, and the detailed judge. And these dozen or so people are now all called to the side of the political affairs hall - Han Gang has something to use them.

It is true that the candidates are not disgraced in the palace examination, but if they make a mistake, they will say otherwise.

According to the regulations, those who commit miscellaneous crimes will be demoted to the fifth class, and they will still have official positions for their classmates, but the qualifications for the Jinshi background will be gone. And the Jinshi qualification has the right to skip the grade and promote in the selection stage, of course, it has no chance with it.

"Why bother tossing people." Han Gang said.

The Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, including the ancestors before Taizu, but anyone who can be admitted to the Jinshi will basically not make such a big mistake. But in case too

The names of the Empress Dowager's ancestors were miswritten by uninformed candidates, such as Xiang Minzhong, the great-ancestor of the Empress Dowager, and any candidate wrote the word 'Minzhong' in the exam paper, without replacing it with other words, and without subtracting or adding a stroke, it was a miscellaneous, and he was demoted to the fifth class.

In Han Gang's opinion, this is a little too wrong. The best way is to list these forbidden words and send them to the candidates in advance.

After listening to Han Gang's instructions, Wang Cun, the examiner headed by him, immediately asked: "Dare to ask about participating in politics, what if there are words that are not listed, and then it is confirmed that it is a crime in the examination paper?" ”

"Self-sin is waiting for you." Han Gang simply said, "The examinee doesn't ask." ”

There are lessons from Jian Zhoufu and others, Wang Cun and others all believe that Han Gang will do what he says. Moreover, Han Gang did this, and also resolved the criticism of Zhou Fu and others in Shilin who had been defeated by Huang Sheng before, of course, no one was allowed to disobey.

Wang Cun and the other examiners were all human spirits, and no one objected, so they bowed their heads and took the order.

After the crowd retreated, Zhang Qi, who was listening, said to Han Gang: "Yukun, if you say this, I am afraid that words with similar sounds, as long as there is a slight suspicion of taboo, they will be prohibited." ”

"Just put it another way."

For example, potatoes became potato medicine in the Tang Dynasty, and then changed from potato medicine to yam in Yingzong's time, all in order to avoid secrecy. Even nouns can be changed, so what is the difficulty of changing a statement in the choice of words and sentences? And there are many such situations in later generations, and Han Gang has long been used to it.

Indeed, as Zhang Qi and Han Gang expected, the examiners handed in three dense pieces of paper in the afternoon.

Zhang Qi frowned and looked at it for half an hour, then raised his head and asked Han Gang: "What should I do if I am 'sensitive and studious'?" In other words? ”

Han Gang took the pieces of paper from Zhang Qi's hand, looked at them a few times, and handed them back to Wang Cun, "The two names are not partial, I believe you should understand." ”

The most important thing to commit is the person's name. There are two names for a person. The name of the two words, only if two words are committed at the same time, it is considered a crime. If you only commit one of these words, it is not a crime. However, the forbidden words listed by Wang Cun and others were even included in the ranks of the two names.

Han Gang didn't know if they deliberately put on eye medicine to make themselves ugly, or if they were really cautious, afraid that there would be a leak later. Anyway, the publication of this list will inevitably cause an uproar.

"Please change your mind when you go back." Han Gang waved his hand and drove the examiners out.

"Yukun, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, don't you and I all come here like this? This is also a means of Zang Wei's character. Zhang Qi said.

"If you don't teach, you can't do it, but what?" Han Gang shook his head, "The former sage doesn't say anything, although it has its own reasons. But in Han Gang's view, it was not the original intention of the imperial court to depose the wise man because of his petty mistakes. ”

No matter who or what happens, as long as it is not mentioned in the criminal system and codification, it cannot be regarded as a crime. Although in today's writing of judgments, the law must clearly state the laws cited in the judgment, but in many cases, the judgments in the yamen are also judged by heart, and there are many far-fetched points in the judgments.

In Han Gang's view, what is not expressly prohibited by the law is feasible. If such an idea can become the guideline for the imperial court's actions, many things will be less hindered. Of course, what is more important is that at the moment, I can make a fool of myself and occupy the commanding heights in the truth. Essentially, these two things are actually one and the same.

"It's really not the original intention of the imperial court, otherwise the palace test will not be dethroned again." Zhang Qi smiled casually, "Just do what you say Yukun." ”

If Han Gang really wants to do this well, he should secretly play the Empress Dowager and let the Empress Dowager issue an edict. Doing so now is like buying people's hearts. But with the authority to participate in political affairs and the favor of the Queen Mother, Han Gang did this, even if someone wanted to oppose it, who could he find to seek justice. What's more, Han Gang is here to curry favor with the candidates of this subject and in the future, and the courtiers can also refer to it when writing chapters and official documents, and whoever opposes it will immediately lose his reputation in Shilin.

But in the long run, I am afraid it will not be the blessing of the imperial court. That's how Quanchen grew up step by step.

But anyway, that was a lot of years later.

Zhang Qi sneered, his family will be a master in a few years, and he doesn't expect to live to eighty or ninety, even if Han Gang has any misdeeds in the future, it won't be his turn to worry about it - even if he worries, it's useless, even the exam subjects in the palace exam have been changed, not to mention the forbidden words listed in advance?

Zhang Qi figured it out.

A few days later, when the door of the Jiying Hall was opened, more than 450 preparatory jinshi selected by the provincial examination were ushered in, and on their small tables, in addition to pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and the names and places of origin of each person, there was a printed list full of offending words.

Of course, there are also exam questions written by Han Gang.
