Qinglongmen, the imperial city of Chang'an, in order to show the importance of the imperial examination, Li Jiancheng set the list point of the imperial examination in Qinglongmen, taking the meaning of carp jumping over the dragon gate, Chang'an participated in the imperial examination The lifters stood together under the palace wall of Qinglongmen, waiting for their final fate, a road that determines whether they can enter the Tang Dynasty officialdom in a grand manner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, I saw two eunuchs hanging the two imperial lists high under the escort of the forbidden army, one for the first thirty-six, and the other for the last seventy-two.

"Ugh! Is there my name? ”

"Ugh! Is there my name? ”

"Ugh! I'm in high school. I'm in high school. ”

"Hey! Without me this year, it seems hopeless? ”…… Some of the people present were ecstatic about high school, and some sighed that they didn't have high school. Suddenly, there was a big uproar in the crowd:

"Someone tore the emperor's list. Someone tore up the emperor list. "A man with a look of a man shouted frantically there:

"Hahaha, hahaha! Sure enough, it's still like this after all, hahahaha! I was right. Some people around sighed:

"Hey! How can a good person be crazy? And some people looked at that person with a look of schadenfreude. Until the forbidden army guarding the emperor's list escorted that person away. Li Jiancheng was discussing the next palace test with Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, Wei Zheng and Cen Wenwen in the palace, but he heard Mingyu's father-in-law running in in a panic:

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something's wrong, Your Majesty! ”

"Hey! What are you panicking about? The sky hasn't fallen yet! ”

"Your Majesty! Someone tore up the emperor's list! Hearing that someone tore up the emperor's list, Li Jiancheng was not much surprised, but just asked coldly:

"Hmmm! What about the people who tear the emperor's list? ”

"Your Majesty! The person who tore the emperor's list was outside the palace, but it seemed that he had gone crazy. ”

"Crazy? Bring him up to the temple at once. When the person who tore the emperor's list was brought to Li Jiancheng, I saw that the person was wearing a cloak and kept muttering:

"Yes, that's it, that's it, that's it! That's right, I'm right. I was right. Li Jiancheng listened to the voice of the person who tore the emperor's list, and felt a little familiar. When Wei Zheng saw that person, he sighed first, and then persuaded Li Jiancheng:

"Hey! Your Majesty, this person is the first name of the imperial examination of the ministers and other public councils - Xie Zhizhi, I can't imagine that the talent who has been selected with great difficulty is like this, please read that he has gone crazy and forgive his sins! Xiao Yu also persuaded on the side:

"Your Majesty! Please also ask Your Majesty to be gracious! Li Jiancheng stepped down from the throne, came to the face of the crazy man, and took a closer look at the person's appearance-Mi Siyuan? At this time, Li Jiancheng remembered Fan Jinzhongju in junior high school during the later Heavenly Empire, "Maybe that method can cure this person's madness." Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng slapped the man and slapped it in the face:

"Mi Siyuan, you wake me up and make my words clear!" When Li Jiancheng's two slaps were finished, the empty eyes slowly returned. And the faces of Feng Deyi, Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen, Wei Zheng and the other four were a little pale - it was obviously Xie Yizhi, how did he become Mi Siyuan?

"Mi Siyuan, Mi Siyuan, I am Mi Siyuan! Where am I? Where am I? Qi Siyuan was about to get up, but he was held down by the guards in front of the palace:

"Don't move, in front of Your Majesty, how can you be presumptuous!?" As soon as Mi Siyuan heard that this was the forbidden place of the palace, Li Jiancheng immediately stopped going crazy.

"Ahh The grass people see His Majesty the Emperor, long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live Long live! Li Jiancheng motioned to the guards to let go of Mi Siyuan, and helped Mi Siyuan up:

"Mi Siyuan, don't be afraid, tell everything you know!"

"Yes! Wechen obeys! At the beginning, because the imperial court had been selecting officials by birth in the past, the father of the sin was afraid that the sin would not be able to pass the selection, so he spent money to buy the patriarch of the Yangxia Xie clan and obtained the family registration of the Yangxia Xie clan...... "After listening to Mi Siyuan's words, Li Jiancheng knew the origin of the matter - this is the same as the college entrance examination immigrants of the Celestial Dynasty in later generations, in order to get the college entrance examination care, he changed his household registration without authorization, and now, in order to obtain the official status, he changed his surname and clan to the local clan. Ay! In order to rise to a higher position, the Chinese people are constantly playing tricks. And Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen, Wei Zheng and other four people heard Mi Siyuan's words, their faces were different, at the beginning, Cen Wenwen first valued Xie Aizhi's font, and Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu wanted to admit Xie Aizhi's family background:

"Brother Xiao Yu, Brother Deyi, the font written by Xie Yizhi is Wang Xizhi's royal style, it seems to be taught by a famous artist!" Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu nodded:

"Yes! At first glance, this person has been instructed by a famous expert, yo! Brother Xiao Yu, this person is still your fellow villager, from the Xia Xie clan in Yangxia, Jiangnan! ”

"Good! In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people, what a beautiful scenery Wang Xie was in Jiangnan at the beginning, the entire Jiangnan officialdom was almost monopolized by Wang Xie and the two families, and later, the dynasty changed, and the talents of Wang Xie and the two families withered, I can't imagine that there are still such talents now! In my opinion, this person can be the first in this imperial examination in terms of style and level, Brother Xiao Yu, Brother Deyi, Brother Xuancheng, what do you think? Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi nodded, Cen Wenwen looked at Wei Zheng again, hoping that Wei Zheng would give some advice, Wei Zheng took out another test paper to Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi:

"Three adults, this Xie Suizhi's volume is really good, and his talent is good, but according to the following, this name, I think Chu Suiliang is more suitable, in terms of the results of the volume, this Xie Yizhi and Chu Suiliang both belong to the Jiangnan family, but, in terms of strategy, this Chu Suiliang's strategy is more sophisticated!" Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu bowed their heads and were silent, and Feng Deyi replied to Wei Zheng:

"Brother Xuancheng, this Chu Suiliang's strategy is indeed good, and his family background is good, but I don't know if Brother Xuancheng has noticed, this Chu Suiliang's background ......" As soon as Chu Suiliang's background was mentioned, Wei Zheng realized that this Chu Suiliang had been a subordinate official of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, which was a hard injury. To tell the truth, Chu Suiliang was able to participate in this imperial examination, which was already Li Jiancheng's kindness, but. If such a person is really recommended to Li Jiancheng in the first place, it is difficult to guarantee what Li Jiancheng will think at that time, so Wei Zheng also agreed to put Xie Yizhi in the first place, and now, when this kind of thing happens, Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi can't wait to break Mi Siyuan's body into thousands of pieces, but Wei Zheng's heart is sorry for Mi Siyuan, because Wei Zheng understands in his heart that if it is not for a coincidence, he is also a civilian, where can he still wait in front of the Son of Heaven. Li Jiancheng looked at Feng Deyi, Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu and Wei Zheng, and felt a little sorry in his heart - the original intention of this imperial examination was to take back the way of selecting officials from among the big families, but he still couldn't imagine that such a thing would happen. However, the current imperial examination is still not as strong as in the Song and Ming dynasties, and it can be said that such a thing can be said to be reasonable. Before Li Jiancheng could speak, Feng Deyi immediately spoke:

"Your Majesty, Qi Siyuan changed his household registration name and surname without authorization, and the criminal deceived the king, according to my Tang Dynasty law, at least he must be sentenced to be sent to the army!" Li Jiancheng said in his heart - he was going to lose his pawn and protect the car so soon. Li Jiancheng didn't speak, Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng's face:

"Your Majesty, Mi Siyuan is a rare talent, in fact, this matter can be said to have a reason, but there are extenuating circumstances, please ask Your Majesty to spare Xie Yi's crime of bullying the king!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's authority is inviolable! Your Majesty! Feng Deyi, Xiao Yu, and Wei Zheng all knelt in front of Li Jiancheng, expressing their opinions, only Cen Wenwen did not speak. Li Jiancheng looked at Cen Wenwen:

"Text, what about your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Feng Deyi said is reasonable, and this person Mi Siyuan changed his household registration and surname, and the criminal deceived the king, and he should be dealt with in accordance with the law of my Tang Dynasty." After listening to Cen Wenwen's words, Qi Siyuan and Wei Zheng's eyes widened, but Cen Wenwen continued:

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that what Lord Wei Zheng said is also reasonable, and there is a reason for this, but there are extenuating circumstances. Because Mi Siyuan himself said that it was a private transaction between Mi Siyuan's father and Yangxia Xie's family, Mi Siyuan was hindered by his father's life, if he didn't change his household registration and surname, I am afraid it would be unfilial, and now the imperial court is employing people, and Xie is a rare talent! Please let your Majesty take it lightly! Li Jiancheng nodded-this Cen text is really slippery! However, a few words to the point, Li Jiancheng still appreciates this Mi Siyuan in his heart, if he disposes of Mi Siyuan like this, Li Jiancheng also feels a pity:

"Hmmm! Cen text, what Cen Aiqing said is also reasonable, but Mi Siyuan, you are a criminal and a deceitful after all, you can't be the first name, I will demote you to the ninth grade, you will go to Xinfeng County to be a post! You can be convinced. "Mi Siyuan has long heard that His Majesty the Emperor in front of him is a disciple of Taishang Laojun, who can understand yin and yang and communicate with ghosts and gods. Otherwise, how could he be known by Li Jiancheng all of a sudden, plus he was originally guilty of bullying the king, and he could be demoted to a post man, he had already escaped and ascended to heaven, and he immediately thanked him verbally. Li Jiancheng instructed Feng Deyi, Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng, Cen Wenwen and other four people:

"This imperial examination, I feel that there are still many people who have this situation, and I order you to quickly find out the names, household registrations and family members of all the candidates this time, if this situation is found, they will all be demoted to the nine rank officials like Mi Siyuan, there must be a lot of such cases, I also decided that in order to conceal this matter, I will double the number of people admitted this time, and by increasing the number of admissions, let the heroes of the world enter my hub! Don't do anything to deceive the king again! Feng Deyi, Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng, Cen Wenwen and other four people obeyed the order and said yes. However, from Li Jiancheng's will, Feng Deyi, Xiao Yu, and Cen Wenwen understood that Li Jiancheng would not only take back the selection of officials above the seventh rank of the imperial court from the hands of the family, but also take away the appointment of officials below the seventh rank - in the early Sui and Li Tang dynasties, local officials could appoint local subordinate officials of the eighth and ninth grades. And these scholars who have been relegated to the local level to serve as the eighth and ninth grades will definitely continue to work hard for the top.

After Mi Siyuan came out of the palace, after getting the official documents from the ministry, he was about to take office in Xinfeng, and the businessman named Beasley appeared at the door.

"Is Lord Mi going to take office?" After seeing Beasley, Mi Siyuan greeted him warmly:

"Ahh The big shopkeeper, I don't know the big shopkeeper is here this time! ”

"I'm here to give a thousand taels of silver. First, I lost in the next place, and secondly, when the adults go to Xinfeng, they also need to be entangled! ”

"Hahahaha! Why should Your Majesty take it seriously? After listening to Qi Siyuan's words, Li Jiancheng paused for a moment, then laughed and took off the beard on his face:

"Good! I thought that the art of disguise could deceive some people, but I didn't expect that I couldn't deceive Lord Mi! When Mi Siyuan saw Li Jiancheng tear off his beard and reveal his true face, he immediately paid homage:

"See Your Majesty!"

"Ugh!" Li Jiancheng helped Mi Siyuan up.

"I don't know how Mi-sama saw me."

"Your Majesty, except for the minister's father and the patriarch of the Yangxia Xie clan, I only told the big shopkeeper of Beasley, and His Majesty's figure and voice make the minister feel familiar, so please forgive your majesty for your presumptuousness!" After Li Jiancheng listened to Mi Siyuan's words, he liked Mi Siyuan even more in his heart:

"Good! Mi-sama! You work hard after you arrive in Xinfeng, you promised me, after you arrive in Xinfeng, don't borrow wine to make trouble! Hahaha! ”

Li Jiancheng re-examined the scholars of the imperial examination, and eliminated a total of 81 scholars who fraudulently used the household registration of the local upper families, and according to Li Jiancheng's holy decree, all of them were sent to other places, and the local subordinate officials of eight grades and nine grades were sent out, and the number of admission places for the imperial examination was doubled, and a turmoil became invisible. Li Jiancheng just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, and the storm in the Turkic steppe drifted towards Li Tang again.
