The emperor was depressed, and he seemed to understand that this Tang Dynasty was the weakest dynasty.

Although he always wanted to be a good emperor, the "good emperor" seemed to be the opposite of the "strong emperor".

Zhang Qiangsheng always said to him: "Your Majesty, there can be no kindness of a woman. ”

The emperor said unhappily: "You go away!" If I do what you say, I'm a tyrant. The last generation of every dynasty was such a person! ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "You were deceived by the imperial court's book that deceived others." Every emperor was a tyrant, so the last emperor was naturally a tyrant as well. The reason why the dynasty is destroyed is because they are incapable, and it has nothing to do with tyrants or not......"

The emperor waved his hand: "Okay, don't say it!" ”

The emperor thought about it and decided to use the imperial examination to win the hearts of the people.

He made a holy decree and said: "When the first decision is made today, it is really the time for the court to employ people." The imperial court will hold an examination, and there will be no need to be castrated for civil and martial arts. ”

It failed because no one came.

No one from all over the country came at all.

The emperor was furious: "Why don't you come?" ”

The ministers didn't speak, but all they thought in their hearts was: "Nonsense, why are people coming?" ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "They were deceived last year, and everyone who came was castrated. ”

Emperor: "I said we weren't castrated, why didn't we come?" ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "They were all castrated before. ”

The emperor was even more angry: "That's the money for the co-governance of the country!" We are Datang. Co-governance doesn't count, so they should be eliminated. We talk counting, why don't they come? ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "For people, the imperial court is the same, and you are in charge of the Ming Dynasty, the common governance, and the Tang Dynasty." How do they know if our words count? ”

The emperor threw out a teacup and almost hit Zhang Qiangsheng. The emperor said, "You still don't have the ability!" I can't have no one in my first exam, and you have to find someone for me to participate in! ”

The emperor is gone.

The court stubbornly found a bunch of guys.

When I participated in the imperial examination, the world was not in chaos, and everyone could become an official of the empire. At that time, the world was as peaceful as a pool of stagnant water, and participating in the imperial examination was the only way for people to escape their fate.

Do I regret it, you ask? No, never. I don't know what will happen in the future, how can I regret it?

But if I was born a few years later, I'm afraid I would really join a private gang, a bandit, or even a cult. Yes, who will go to the eunuch unless forced to do so?

Now Wenju doesn't emasculate people – but people don't believe it. The court talks like a fart, and people don't care if you are the Tang Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty or the co-governance court.

Last year's Gongzhi Wen Examination was simply a tragedy. A million people came to the meeting, and people said, "Although Qian Zhaoding is not the emperor, the words of the court should count." If you become a lifter, you can be promoted and make a fortune. Qian swore that he would not be castrated, but he castrated all the students who took the exam—a whole million!

Qian Zhaoding once said his thoughts in public: "The imperial court will not tolerate these people, and 'strengthening the country and weakening the people' is an eternal strategy." Besides, a person who cares more about himself than the court is not worthy of being an imperial official! ”

Zhang Qiangsheng was ready to be castrated when he took the exam. Yes, only a clever and cruel man like him would have such a plan. And Chen Enze can't. He's a role model, but he's only smart in IQ, and he's far behind in EQ - which is why the Intelligence Service is now far weaker than the Secret Service.

All in all, although the imperial court announced that everyone could come, pay for the passage after coming, and not castrate, but this time only a few thousand people came.

I don't have to look at the test results, just by looking at the people, I know that they are all a bunch of rubbish. People can be distinguished by their faces, that is, "their faces are like their faces." These people are dumbfounded, with non-knowing smiles on their faces at all times.

In order not to hit the self-esteem of these people, the imperial court made the examination questions extremely simple.

As is customary, the first topic is: Argument for the legitimacy of Emperor Li Hongsi.

These people are really rubbish. Li Hongsi was born as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and they actually wrote something on the test paper "The emperor is invincible and slaughtered the previous dynasty". Probably they applied "A Brief History of the Ming Dynasty" directly to the Tang Dynasty. Daming killed all the Damin royal family, so they felt that Datang also killed all the Ming royal family. If in normal times, don't say that they are lifted, they will be directly delayed.

The standard answer to this question should be: Datang is the choice of people, God, and history, and it proves truth, justice, divinity, and humanity......

The second problem is the simplest math problem: a couple, having one child a year, and the child will also have one child a year when they grow up. So how many people will they multiply after 300 years?

Someone thinks a few hundred. Some people think it should be at least a few thousand. Some wise people know that there are tens of thousands of people in some Dashi clans, so they say tens of thousands. In fact, the correct answer is: 100 billion people. Out of thousands of people, none of them answered 100 billion. The most accurate answer is: 1 million, which is 100 billion short of the exact answer.

Question 3: Calculate the date of the next total solar eclipse.

Compare the question of last year's co-governance exam: calculate the date of this nine-star alignment. Among the hundreds of thousands of people last year, hundreds of people accurately calculated the date, and dozens of people were accurate to the minute and second, and Zhang Qiangsheng and Chen Enze not only calculated the minutes and seconds, but also calculated the time of the next dozens of nine stars!

This year's questions are a million times easier than last year's. But out of thousands of people, not one of them got the calculation right. Some people even believe in the "round sky" thing, and think that the total solar eclipse is a tengu eating the sun.

The fourth topic: If you are the Tang Dynasty, how do you pacify the world?

Everyone wrote according to the "Book of the Tang Dynasty", as if this question was an "endorsement question". People write about how merciful the emperor must be, how loyal people are, almost like a missionary church for Confucians. Hey, even if you write "Outer Confucianism and Inner Law", it's fine. The world is not something they can govern at all.

……

These wastes. If it were me, I would have been able to solve all of them in an hour. And thousands of people scratched their ears and cheeks in the examination room, from morning to night, and they couldn't finish writing. When they got out of the exam room, they said, "It's too difficult, it's hard to die." The test is really a test, and it is much more difficult than the township test. ”

Zhao Yuyang said: "I have ever seen the most rubbish examination, and the authority of the imperial court is really gone. Even if Zhu Zhaoding was still alive, he would not castrate them, because they were not worthy of castration at all. ”

The imperial examination has many functions.

The imperial examination is a kind of co-optation. The imperial court pulled many talents into the imperial court through the imperial examination. As the saying goes: "If the world's corporal doctor is not used by the king, there will be no forgiveness for killing." But through the imperial examinations, these killings were unnecessary, because they were already "in their possession." Zhao Yuyang and Zhang Qiangsheng are powerful enough, right? Fortunately, they were from the imperial court. If they were cult members, I am afraid that the imperial court would have died 10,000 times earlier.

The imperial examination is a kind of destruction. The imperial court used the results of the imperial examination to make people pay attention to the subject of the imperial examination; Through the titles of the imperial examinations, the imperial court was able to control the books that people read. People read only one kind of book: the King James Book. Of course, the King James books are all wrong. I served as an imperial official in the inner court for nine years, and I compiled many "King James Books" myself. Compiling the Book of the King James is very rewarding, because you have to make it up and you can't make it up. You're going to make up a book that makes those hillbillies feel "Wow, haven't heard of it, but it's so well said, it's definitely right." The key to compiling the King James Book is that 99 percent is right and one percent is wrong; The ninety-nine percent right is for the one percent wrong.

The imperial examination is a fantasy. Participating in the imperial examination is like buying a lottery ticket. The lottery is a kind of IQ tax, and whoever is mentally handicapped pays the tax. It is true that someone will win the lottery; It's true that someone will win the lottery – but that person is definitely not you, and you always feel that person will be you. It's a fantasy. People are immersed in the fantasies of the middle lift all day long, from twenty to sixty years old. When you're sixty years old, you finally understand that you're not going to be lifted. You want to rebel, but it's too late. A sixty-year-old man, no one cares about you.

The imperial examination is a kind of order. Where does order come from? Order comes from tradition, and tradition is justice. However, this tradition is not natural, it is man-made. Most people accepted this order, and it became a tradition. No one can resist, because it exists to prevent it.

The imperial examination is self-destructive. After going through so many people, there will always be people who will be lifted. They are the lucky ones who buy lottery tickets to win, or rather, the chosen ones. For example, me, Zhao Yuyang, Zhang Qiangsheng, in addition to the former Liu Xingchao, Liu Yongfu, Zhao Lizhu and so on. They transcended the imperial court, they became the imperial court. With their intelligence, they understand everything, and yet they still have to do it. Of course, this group of people is not such a person now.

The Emperor received the hundreds of lifters.

The great Gyeonggi, the great Chang'an, the great palace, and the great emperor received the loyal people.

The ministers, commoners, and scholars were watching, and everything seemed to be peaceful and prosperous.

The emperor exhorted them and looked up to them as role models for the world.

The emperor appointed them to serve as officials in Gyeonggi and the local government.

These people said, "Didn't you say to be a great official? Why be a petty official? ”

Ay.
