Looking at the back of Wu Qing, who was walking away, Shangguan Wan'er showed a touch of sadness.

Wei Tuan'er said thoughtfully: "Sister Shangguan, this horse general is really interesting. ”

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wei Tuan'er's extremely white face, where is this Nizi Sichun? Then he said: "If the horse is not interesting, how can the princess choose to be the horse, these discussions behind the scenes, it is better not to talk about it, so as not to be heard and framed." ”

Wei Tuan'er hurriedly bowed and said, "The slave understands, thank you Sister Shangguan for reminding me." ”

Shangguan Wan'er thought for a moment and said: "I'm afraid the princess will have a meal in the palace tonight, you go and prepare first, find the princess's recipes, and make some of her favorite foods, maybe the queen mother will be happy and reward you with some money." ”

Wei Tuan'er was originally a clever person, how could he not understand, so he thanked Shangguan Wan'er and hurriedly walked towards the Shangshi Bureau.

Shangguan Wan'er thought that if she could establish her own power in this palace, would she be able to make a pair of dewy mandarin ducks with Brother Qing. Then he smiled bitterly, and walked towards his dormitory, and heard the sound of King Luling beating and scolding the palace people from a distance, and couldn't help sighing, and left.

Wu Qing returned to the official residence of the History Museum, first greeted the officials of the History Museum, and then began to write a note, this time he introduced in more detail and systematically the measures to reform the imperial examination, as well as the foreseen results, and resolutely adopted the system of obscuration of examination papers, as well as the temporary appointment of invigilators, in order to prevent the occurrence of cheating in the imperial examination. Moreover, it was also proposed to abolish redundant officials, so that those who were vegetarian and those with poor performance evaluations would be dismissed, which was a preparation for the election of officials after the new system of imperial examinations.

By the time I finished writing the recital, it was almost time to leave the class. Then he came to the Zhenguan Hall again, and asked the eunuch on duty to hand the music in. Then he went home.

In the Zhenguan Palace, Princess Taiping was talking to the Empress Dowager Wu. She entered the palace this time to persuade Empress Dowager Wu not to kill her second brother Li Xian, but when she knocked on the side.

Empress Dowager Wu said: "The palace has sent Zuo Jinwu General Qiu Shenji to Bashu to visit your second brother, so don't worry." ”

Princess Taiping's heart sank, it seemed that she was really told by Wu Qing, but who is she, she is Princess Taiping, how can she show an unhappy look. Then he said: "The second brother has been away for several years, and I don't know how I'm doing there." ”

Empress Dowager Wu smiled: "Taiping, you can rest assured." This time, the palace asked Qiu Shenji to take some gold beads and treasures from Zuozang and give them to your second brother, I believe that life will not be too difficult. Hey, it's all the meat that fell from my mother's body, how can my mother not feel distressed. ”

Taiping knows his mother's methods. Naturally do not believe it. But she won't show dissatisfaction, not to mention that A-Niang is really good to her, not to mention that the reward given to her exceeds that of the princesses of previous dynasties, even the horse she chose for her, she is also very satisfied, although the horse is lustful, but which man is not lustful. And after really understanding Wuqing's family background, she understood. What is the meaning of being rich and rivaling the country, even if the Tang Dynasty is no longer there in the future. She was also rich all her life.

Of course, how much she loves Wu Qing, she doesn't know, in short, she used to take a fancy to another cousin, Xue Shao, I heard that he got married last year, I don't know whose woman it is.

Princess Taiping shook her head, feeling that she was thinking too far, so she coquettishly said, "A-Niang is so good." ”

Empress Dowager Wu really likes Princess Taiping, so she said: "You came to visit A-Niang today, there must be something, say it, as long as it is reasonable, A-Niang will promise you." ”

Although Princess Taiping wanted to intercede for the third brother Li Xian, she was a little hesitant at this juncture, but she still said: "The third brother is now the king of Luling, which is pitiful enough, so let his mother let him be a rich man." ”

Empress Dowager Wu sighed, took Taiping's hand, and said: "Taiping, how can my mother bear it, although your fourth brother has ascended the throne, he has no ability to deal with military and political affairs, and my mother still has to help him." Your third brother, this unscrupulous son, I am afraid that he will be used by some unscrupulous people, and the country left by your father will fall into chaos. Don't worry, after a while, my mother will let him go and let him be a rich man. ”

Princess Taiping showed a sweet smile and said coquettishly: "Mother is so good! ”

At this time, a eunuch came in, bowed down and saluted: "Empress Dowager, General Zuo Yu Lin Wei handed over the music." ”

Empress Dowager Wu smiled: "What about others? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, General Wu is back."

Empress Dowager Wu waved her hand, and then took the music and looked at it. After a moment, she smiled and said, "Well, yes, not bad!" ”

Princess Taiping asked strangely, "Ah Niang, what does the concubine write?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu smiled: "You can come and see." ”

Taiping hurriedly said: "Taiping doesn't dare!" ”

"This palace wants you to see how talented the horse that your mother chooses for you is! There are a few people in this world who can match Wuqing! Empress Dowager Wu smiled.

Princess Taiping took it and watched it, even if she didn't understand the government and politics, but after Wu Qing's explanation like a vernacular, she could understand it at a glance. It turns out that that guy is not only great in that aspect, but also has such a talent in governing the country, hmph, go back and serve him well!

"A-Niang, what are the advantages of this recital?" Princess Taiping asked.

So, Empress Dowager Wu patiently explained to Princess Taiping the drawbacks of the imperial examination system in the imperial court.

After the explanation, Wei Tuan'er moved lightly, came to the hall, and reported that the dinner was ready. Empress Dowager Wu took Taiping's hand and prepared to have dinner together.

After Princess Taiping heard Empress Dowager Wu's explanation of the government for the first time, her mind began to change slowly, but she never realized it.

A few days later, Qiu Shenji, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, returned to Luoyang and deposed the crown prince Li Xian and hanged himself in his Bazhou mansion. The Queen Mother was furious, and after angrily denouncing, she belittled Qiu Shenji as the history of Diezhou's assassination. Li Xian's death makes people suspicious!

But Empress Dowager Wu didn't want to mention this matter again, so she worshiped Shi Wang Dezhen, the former governor of the Yu Palace, as the servant, and Liu Yizhi, the Chinese scholar, as the Zhongshu Ling, and the two worshiped the prime minister at the same time.

And Liu Yizhi was in charge of the imperial examination this spring, and the new imperial examination system was officially sent to various places, and the new imperial examination system proposed by Wu Qing had already been passed last year, but the implementation was not very good. Although Luoyang has gathered nearly 10,000 people, what is the new imperial examination like? I don't know. When the imperial court officially issued a notice and posted a notice, they understood that this time the imperial examination really had to adopt a vague name system. And added the Qianyuan Palace Palace, played by the Son of Heaven, hand-picked champions, Bangyan, Tanhua, and awarded official positions. After passing on the roll call, you will show off on the streets, this is the real glory of the ancestors!

You must know that it is difficult for ordinary six-rank officials to see the face of the Son of Heaven, but if they pass the palace test. Then you can see the true face of the Son of Heaven, how can this not honor the ancestors!

It was also the first time that the imperial examination was conducted by the prime minister of the DPRK and China. The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites were deputies, which suddenly increased the weight of the imperial examination. People of insight can see that in this way, those who disdain the imperial examination. He had to participate in the imperial examination. Moreover, a vague name system is adopted. It is also a manifestation of fairness and justice.

The Jinshi Department only has scriptures and arguments, so it only takes one day of the test.

This time, there were thirty-five people from Qingxin Academy participating in the imperial examination, Zhang said that he still felt that he could not pass the examination, or did not participate, Wu Qing also encouraged him, telling him to go to Qingxin Academy to listen to more lectures, and he could usually study more in the account of the general of the North Gate. Zhang said that he was also happy to accept the order.

The matter of the imperial examination has nothing to do with Wuqing. Therefore, he often stayed at Qingxin Academy, and one of the three textbooks needed to be inspected. The two of them also recuperated in the Qingxin Academy, and married their senior sister into the door after a while.

The three basic textbooks are what Wu Qing values the most, and they are also the achievements of these years, and they also lay the foundation for the development of science in the future. Therefore, he had to be very serious about inspecting several foreign scholars, and invited Wang Xiaotong, an arithmetic scholar who was already 80 years old at home, and his grandson Wang Shu.

Wang Xiaotong's "Ancient Arithmetic" has a total of 20 questions, but it involves astronomy, civil engineering, geometry, warehousing and other issues, and even introduces algebraic theory, which is the most important point for Wuqing.

It is more groundbreaking than the previous mathematical monographs such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "Island Sutra". Inviting Wang Xiaotong to inspect the three basic textbooks is also to let Wang Xiaotong, a great arithmetician, check and fill in the gaps. Write basic mathematics well. Of course, when the basic mathematics is completed, then it is intermediate mathematics, and then it is advanced mathematics.

Correspondingly, there are intermediate physics, advanced physics, intermediate chemistry, and advanced chemistry. As for philosophical thought, Wu Qing put forward theories, Lu Zhaolin compiled them, and Wang Bo edited them.

According to Wuqing's concept, he would like to open majors such as astronomy, weapons, and mineral deposits, but he is not familiar with one of them, and the other does not have so much energy, so he can only leave it for later, and wait until the popularization of basic mathematics, physics and chemistry will not be too late to open it.

Wang Xiaotong's grandfather and grandson were very interested in the Arabic numerals introduced by Wuqing, because in this way, the annotations in geometry became very clear, and the algebra created by Wang Xiaotong was easier to operate when using Arabic numerals.

Of course, Wang Xiaotong's grandfather and grandson admired Wu Qing not only for Arabic numerals, but also for theories that had never been sorted out in the previous arithmetic, such as the geometric principles in geometry, the mathematical theorems of triangles, etc., as well as the explanation of "force" in physics, etc. All of them made him feel a new way of thinking that he had never seen before.

In short, he was very relieved to see that Qingxin Academy was different from the new teaching methods of Guozixue, Taixue, Hongwenguan, Simenxue, and arithmetic. After all, in this era, poetry and literature are the mainstream, although there are arithmetic and law, but they are only involved, and these things are not treated as important knowledge. Qingxin College is different!

Qingxin Academy did not abandon Confucianism, but took the essence of Confucianism to educate people; did not abandon Buddhism, but used the essence of Buddhism to teach people to look at things with dialectics; It did not abandon the study of law, but regarded the study of law as the foundation of governing the country, and most importantly, the Qingxin Academy paid more attention to the education of governing the country for those students who wanted to enter politics.

It can be said that Qingxin Academy is a hodgepodge, and it is enough to say that the doctor is enough to attract attention.

School books are not a matter of one or two days, so Wu Qing is not in a hurry.

A few days later, after the imperial examination and the palace examination, the Empress Wu hand-picked the champion, the list eye, and the flower, and awarded the officials of the six grades, a total of 33 jinshi, of which the Qingxin Academy reached 16 jinshi, which is appalling.

Although there are no people from Qingxin Academy in the top three, the people of the world have to admit a fact, in this case of adopting the name system for the first time, Qingxin Academy has obtained sixteen jinshi places, which shows the strength of Qingxin Academy! There is no doubt that decades later, most of the officials in the Tang Dynasty will come from Qingxin Academy.

People with a heart go to the sparse examination papers, and some people even go to the sparse to ask for the ban on the Qingxin Academy, and some people even go to the sparse, the Qingxin Academy is a place where demons gather, and it should be eradicated as soon as possible to avoid disasters. Of course, the most infuriating thing is that some people point the finger at Wuqing, saying that Wuqing has colluded with friends and so on.

In short, after a imperial examination, Wuqing was once again pushed to the forefront! (To be continued......)
