Chapter 279: The Cui Family

Enke is not calm, after the Tang Dynasty began to decline, the imperial examination scholars were also subject to twists and turns, the biggest twist and turn is the black box operation wanton, some people who do not learn and have no skills, through a variety of relationships, can be high school scholars, some scholars with real talents, suffering from no relationship, can only be named Sun Shan, or to the festival envoy as a staff, or in the countryside to teach students to live, more scholars because they are not familiar with farm work, life is very difficult, so that the imperial examination scholars are slowly monopolized by the children of the gentry and wealthy families, but also made the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty truly a battle between families.

Through these years, although Li Rupei did not really care about the imperial examination of the imperial court, he was clear about the situation, and this time he personally participated in the Enke held in Xiangyang, and the requirements were particularly strict.

The chief examiners are Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang, and the examiners are Yu Chenghui, the envoy of Jiangnan West Province, Tan Mingxiao, the envoy of Jiangnan East Province, Ma Haoxuan, and Qian Shiqu, the envoy of Huainan Province.

This pattern also made many scholars who came to participate in Enke understand the importance of this imperial examination.

Everyone once suggested that Li Rupei be the chief examiner, but he did not agree, in fact, he was not interested in reading those articles of the imperial examination.

Li Rupei is very clear that the imperial examination has a lot of drawbacks, people who can enter the high school jinshi, the knowledge is not ordinary, but when it comes to how strong the concept of governing the country is, it is impossible, because the imperial examination is based on knowledge, and has no direct contact with people's livelihood matters, so the admitted jinshi still needs a month of training, and after the training, the examination is re-examined, and only qualified people can serve as officials.

It is impossible to directly integrate learning with people's livelihood, and this will not be possible after a thousand years, so it is impossible to change the model of the imperial examination, and it can only be done according to the previous practice.

The Tang Dynasty, which is dominated by an agricultural society. The imperial examinations are mainly based on articles and words, this situation lasts for nearly a thousand years, natural science is not valued in this era, and even everyone knows nothing about it, Li Rupei also knows that with his ability, it is impossible to promote the development of natural science, after all, the times are different, the social division of labor is not so complete, some things. You can only wait for the development of the times before you think about it, and it's better not to think about things that are too advanced.

After Li Chengbo's Zhou Ceremony was over, all Li Rupei's thoughts were put on the Enke exam on May 30.

It was at this time that the clansmen of the Cui family suddenly came to Xiangyang and specially contacted Cui Anqian.

This situation was soon learned by Li Rupei, and he secretly complained in his heart, and the clansmen of the Cui family came to Xiangyang. The meaning is very clear, that is, I want to make a difference in this Enko.

The family with the surname of the Tang Dynasty is very famous, the so-called five surnames and seven families. They are the Boling Cui clan, the Qinghe Cui clan, the Fanyang Lu clan, the Longxi Li clan, the Zhaojun Li clan, the Xingyang Zheng clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan, although the Tang Dynasty has gone through hundreds of years, the power of the big clan has suffered a heavy blow, but the Wang clan has an extraordinary accumulation after all. The strength is not comparable to ordinary families.

Cui Anqian is from the Wushui room, which is one of the six rooms set by the Cui family in Qinghe.

Cui Anqian's family is also extraordinary, and his grandfather, Cui Yi, once served as the assassin of Quzhou. Father Cui Cong, once served as the right servant of the school and the imperial doctor, Cui Anqian has three elder brothers, namely Cui Yanfang, Cui Hengyou, Cui Zhoushu, and a younger brother Cui Yanchong, these people have been officials in the court, among which Cui Hengyou once served as the prime minister of the court.

With such a big family, the influence is extraordinary, and the vision is also very high.

When Cui Hanlei married Li Rupei, although the Cui family celebrated, they didn't care very much, after all, in their opinion, Li Rupei was just an ordinary prince, you must know that the prince of the Li Tang royal family is not a big deal, many of them can't control power, and in their opinion, Cui Hanlei married Li Rupei and became the princess, but she didn't insult the Qinghe Cui family.

But after Li Rupei became King Fu, Nanfang Dao Daxingtai, Situ, and Zhongshu Ling, the situation was completely different, and everyone in the world knew that Li Rupei could become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the Qinghe Cui family began to attach great importance to Li Rupei, and many of the Cui family's children came to Xiangyang, but Cui Anqian's requirements were very strict, and he did not casually arrange for the children of the Cui family to enter the official mansion.

But Enke, which is about to take place, is different, which the Cui family attaches great importance to.

The Damen Wang clan attaches great importance to the imperial examination, they believe that being able to enter the high school is the glory of the clan, and it is also the embodiment of the strength of the family, so the Enke in Xiangyang has been highly valued by the Cui family.

This time, the Cui family came forward to be Cui Hengyou, who once served as prime minister in the imperial court.

Cui Hengyou is Cui Anqian's elder brother, and the Cui family asked Cui Hengyou to come forward directly, which shows that the family attaches great importance to Enke held in Xiangyang.

Cui Hengyou came to Xiangyang, Cui Anqian is not easy to say, and the reception of Cui Hengyou is naturally Li Rupei.

Speaking of which, Cui Hengyou is Li Rupei's elder, this is because Princess Cui Hanlei is Cui Hengyou's niece.

After Cui Hengyou came to Xiangyang, he lived in Cui Anqian's mansion.

Of course, because of the restrictions of his identity, even if Cui Hengyou is from a famous family, it is impossible to be arrogant in front of Li Rupei, after all, Li Rupei's identity is not ordinary, and he is a child of the Li Tang royal family.

When Cui Hengyou came to visit the palace, he was accompanied by Cui Anqian.

Although there are a lot of things, Li Rupei has to make time.

The meeting was arranged in the study of the palace, which is the place to receive the most distinguished guests, and when he walked to the study, Cui Hengyou had a smile on his face, of course he was satisfied with this arrangement.

After seeing Li Rupei, Cui Hengyou hugged his fists and saluted Li Rupei in accordance with the rules of the imperial court.

Li Rupei helped Cui Hengyou, he still knew this rule, after all, people are elders, if they stand still and let Cui Hengyou salute, they can't say anything.

"Uncle, don't be polite, things have been complicated recently, after my uncle came to Xiangyang, he didn't go to visit, and I ask my uncle to understand."

"Don't say that, come to Xiangyang and come to see the prince from now on."

To be polite, Cui Hengyou finally sat down, the atmosphere in the study was still good, after all, Cui Hengyou was also a family member.

Cui Hengyou once served as the prime minister, and then Cui Anqian also became the prime minister of the DPRK, which can be said to be the pride of the Cui family, after Li Rupei became the king of Fu, it was a great opportunity for the Cui family to rise.

After a short conversation, although Li Rupei still had a smile on his face, the smile in his eyes had disappeared.

The Cui family's appetite is a little too big, on the one hand, Cui Anqian has already controlled the absolute power, but Cui Hengyou also wants to be able to go to Xiangyang to do things, you must know that Cui Hengyou has already become a minister, and he is also the prime minister of the Xizong period, if he also goes to the Southern Dao Daxingtai Mansion to do things, then the power of the Southern Dao is not in the hands of the Cui family.

It is a very bad thing for relatives to interfere in politics, and there are too many lessons from history in this regard.

Cui Anqian is different, after all, his ability is not ordinary, and he is an honest official, and the relationship with Li Rupei cannot be erased, in the stage when Li Rupei is still working hard, Cui Anqian controls internal affairs and can give Li Rupei the greatest help, but if the Cui family is involved, then the situation is completely different.

If such a situation really occurs, it will be a huge harm to Cui Anqian and Cui Hanlei.

Of course, Li Rupei will not allow such a situation to occur.

After Cui Hengyou said almost, Li Rupei did not ask Cui Anqian to speak, and it was difficult for Cui Anqian to say anything at this time.

"Uncle's meaning, I know a little, the Southern Dao Daxingtai Mansion has not been established for a long time, and there is indeed a lack of talents, so I implore the emperor to open Enke in Xiangyang, the purpose is to find talents who can serve the imperial court, Enke is only about ten days to start, and the main energy of a certain is also concentrated in Enke."

"The Cui family is a famous family, it has an extraordinary influence in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a family that everyone envies, and I think that the reason why everyone is envious is mainly because of the strict family style of the Cui family, as well as the talents that have appeared repeatedly, my uncle once served as the prime minister in the court, and my father-in-law is now also the prime minister of the court, so I hope that when this time Enke, the Cui family can have more outstanding children who can enter high school, so that the family will receive more people's admiration."

"In terms of employing people, it is eclectic, the so-called external move does not avoid hatred, internal move does not avoid relatives, father-in-law is now the special envoy of Nanfang Dao, responsible for Shannan East Road, Shannan West Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road Many affairs, it is precisely because of the father-in-law's conscientious work that the Southern Road can be so stable, so that a certain can rest assured of other things, and occasionally be able to relax."

"I think that any family, if it wants long-term development, must work hard to cultivate young people, and the same is true for the Cui family, so the meaning of a certain is also clear. ……

After Li Rupei finished speaking, Cui Hengyou's Lian was slightly red, this time he came, it was originally the meaning of the family, in fact, there were some requirements, he didn't want to say it, he had read history books all over the world, and he also knew the evil consequences of his relatives' interference in politics, but he was euphemistically said by Li Rupei, which made his old face a little unbearable.
