Chapter 125: The Emperor Really Knows How to Play

In ancient times, the imperial examination can be described as a top priority for a man who studied hard and read the books of sages and sages.

The night of the candles in the cave room, and the title of the gold list, these two times are the most glorious times in a man's life.

There is no difficulty in the former, as long as you are handsome enough and have a few acres of idle land at home, then it is a matter of time before you marry a wife.

But for the latter, this is a certain degree of difficulty.

Although the dynasty in which Fang Tang belonged did not appear in ancient history, the imperial examination system in this dynasty is not much different from the Tang Dynasty that we are familiar with.

Xiucai, Jinshi, Ming Jing, Ming Law and so on as many as 50 kinds of examination subjects, all available, so that the number of people is not many.

And each imperial examination will also be carried out for a long time, time-consuming and laborious, each imperial examination will tire the officials half to death, and the imperial examination seems to have become a nightmare for officials.

It stands to reason that this imperial examination should be no different from the past, but because of the appearance of Yang Xian, the head of the household department, some time ago, Tang Jingzong came up with the idea of revising the imperial examination.

As a parent official of the Tang Dynasty, he is sympathetic to the people's feelings and has a clean breeze on his sleeves, which are the most basic requirements, but now even the former head of the household department dares to bend the law for bribes

So for these students who are about to become officials and have not experienced the temptation of officialdom, Tang Jingzong is really relieved.

This is only the first reason, and the second reason is because now Tang Jingzong suddenly feels that the number of people in the court is much smaller.

Yang Xian's unexpected fall implicated a large number of people at this time, although these people are not in important positions, but their divisions are very average and even, and they are in every department of the Tang Dynasty.

For the way these people are handled, Tang Jingzong has only one word, that is, kill!

But after killing nearly a hundred officials, the leaders of various departments asked Tang Jingzong for help, saying that they were not manpowered, and they were busy every day, and they had no time to rest.

It was based on these two considerations that Tang Jingzong came up with the idea of revising the imperial examination system.

As soon as this idea was proposed, it also caused an uproar in the court.

Some officials said that the rules of the ancestors could not be changed, and it would be a big rebellion to change them, but some officials agreed with Tang Jingzong's idea and believed that they should keep pace with the times.

After looking at the court like a vegetable market every day, Tang Jingzong also had a headache.

The officials in the court are divided into civil and military, and the civil officials are headed by Liu Tiannan, and the military attaches are also pressed by Huang Ziqian and a few other hob meat old fritters.

Tang Jingzong originally wanted to hear what Liu Tiannan and Huang Ziqian thought about this matter, Tang Jingzong looked at Huang Ziqian, but when he saw Huang Ziqian bored in the court and picked his nose, he could only silence in his heart for three seconds.

"What is Taifu's opinion on this matter?" After Tang Jingzong was disappointed in Huang Ziqian, he also pinned all his hopes on Liu Tiannan.

And Liu Tiannan stood up unhurriedly at this time and only said two words to Tang Jingzong

"Feasible."

Liu Tiannan is the backbone of civil officials, and no one dares to refute his words, and those officials who have always opposed it saw that even Liu Tiannan nodded in agreement, and they also shook their official sleeves and felt sad in their hearts.

After Tang Jingzong saw Liu Tiannan's consent, he immediately discussed with the officials in the court

Originally, Tang Jingzong was ready to make a drastic move, leaving only two subjects, Ming Jing and Jinshi, but after those officials who had been opposed to it were forced to die, Tang Jingzong finally left four examination subjects

The four subjects of Ming Jing, Jinshi, Xiucai, and Ming Law, and the time of the exam has also been readjusted.

June 7th and 8th of each year are designated as exam times

……

After Fang Tang listened to Wang Lun's story, he also widened his eyes and asked Wang Lun

"When is the exam, you say it again?"

"June 7th and 8th, what's wrong?" Wang Lun looked at Fang Tang puzzled.

And after Fang Tang heard the seventh and eighth of June, he also sighed in his heart

"It's actually set for these two days, I have to say that you, the emperor, are really good at playing."

At this time, the time is the end of May, and June is also close at hand, and the students who are far away from Chang'an City are also hurrying to Chang'an City at this time

First, I want to feel the college entrance examination...... No, it's the atmosphere of the imperial examination, and the second is to find a better place to live in advance so that you can review as soon as possible.

Although Youzhou is relatively close to Chang'an City, Wang Lun saw that Wu Xun Wu Neng was about to go to Chang'an City to deliver goods at this time, so he also took a hitchhike to Chang'an City.

"Senior brother, don't talk about it so much, a few of us didn't rest all the way in order to get Wang Gongzi to Chang'an City earlier, and we were all starving to death." Wu Xun touched his shriveled stomach at this time and complained to Fang Tang about his dissatisfaction.

After hearing this, Su Yu also covered her mouth and smiled at Wu Xuan

"I'm hungry, I'm going to go grocery shopping." After Fang Tang saw that Su Yu was going out, he also quickly winked at Zhou Xiaoer and Lao Qi.

Zhou Xiaoer and Lao Qixin quickly ran to Su Yu's side and said with a smile

"Buying vegetables can let my sister-in-law do it herself, or let's go with the two of us" Zhou Xiaoer and Lao Qi couldn't help but stop Su Yu, and then trotted out all the way.

And Su Yu was also slightly stunned after seeing the actions of the two, but in a blink of an eye, she understood why the two of them did this.

After smiling at Fang Tang and shaking his head, Su Yu also walked into the kitchen and began to prepare

"Sister-in-law?" When Wang Lun Wujun and the others on the side heard Zhou Xiaoer call Su Yu his sister-in-law, they also looked at Fang Tang with playful eyes.

"Look at it, I've never seen a handsome guy!" After Fang Tang got rid of the questioning of several people with a flushed face, he sat on the stone bench

And Li Yuerong also asked Fang Tang in an inquiring tone after seeing Fang Tang sitting up

"Do you want to fight the landlord?"

Fang Tang: "......"

Zhang Ran: "......"

After eating at Fang Tang's house, Zhang Ran and the others also left here, Su Yu and Li Yuerong were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, while the remaining few people chatted in the courtyard

"You've all arrived in Chang'an City, so who is taking care of the store now?" Fang Tang asked Wu Xun.

At this time, Wu Xun didn't answer, and after he glanced at Li Xian, he also said to Fang Tang

"Senior brother, have you forgotten, the female bookkeeper I mentioned to you last time has now come to see the store."

"The Female Bookkeeper? But that Yuan Manwen? ”

"Yes, it's Yuan Manwen...? Big brother, why are you so ugly? Zhou Xiaoer also asked Fang Tang after seeing that his face was unnatural

Fang Tang waved his hand at Wu Xuan, indicating that there was nothing, but he was also inexplicably upset at this time.

Let the only daughter of the dignified household department Shangshu be her own female accounting room? You said...... Does this mean that I am very capable?
