After a break of almost a month, I finally started work again! ）

"Martial arts, do you know what it is?" In a tea shop in Chang'an, the fat man Jin held a folding fan and was spitting and boasting to the people around him who were stunned.

"Don't know, right? Let me tell you, it is a new national school established today, which specializes in training officers. His Majesty said that many officers were involved in this rebellion, and the army was originally the imperial army, but now it has become a private army of eunuchs, and the army supported by the imperial court is not loyal to the imperial court, but loyal to the rebellion, so His Majesty was angry, so he set up a martial arts school, and let all the officers enter the martial arts to learn to arrange troops, and the monarch and the ministers are righteous. This martial arts is currently being selected, and it is said that it is going to be set up in the North Garden, and it is said that His Majesty wants to personally receive the martial arts sacrificial wine. ”

"In this way, wouldn't the martial arts disciples all become protégés of the Son of Heaven?"

A posterior on the side stammered.

"Isn't that? It's a pity that Ejin is two years old, and he is lazy, illiterate, and he doesn't accept martial arts, otherwise he would have to sign up for martial arts. ”

Jin Er opened the fan and said with a look of regret. He shook his head as he spoke.

"Then the emperor has to deal with military affairs every day, where can he manage martial arts?"

An old man questioned. Hearing this, Jin Er turned his face and said:

"Master Wang, you don't know this, the emperor just personally received the martial arts sacrificial wine, and I heard that the specific things were handed over to Li Qigong to do. I heard that Li Qigong fell from his horse this time, and his injuries were not serious, but he had to recuperate for three or five years, and he would not be able to fight in the battle for three or five years. So His Majesty thought about it and just let Li Qigong be in charge of it. This is the cousin of the brother-in-law who is in charge of Li Qi's mansion, and the second brother of the brother, and begged him to find a way. ”

"You want to enter martial arts like this? How many generations have you been in your family, have you ever had three friends and four friends? ”

At the adjacent table, an old man who looked like a businessman saw Jin Er's arrogance, and couldn't help but snort lightly, and said to the person next to him:

"This Jin Er, it has always been like this, if you have three colors, you dare to open a dyeing workshop, and you can brag if you don't drink."

Jin Eryi was anxious when he heard this, stood up and said:

"Then old Wu thing, how do you know that it's nonsense?"

"Listen, everyone, where has there always been a soldier who wants to be literate? When you are a big soldier, you can use knives and guns, you can use bows and crossbows, you can ride horses, and you can run, can't you just run? You also said that you want to be literate, don't you say what it is? You are a flat-headed grass man again, you want to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven, but you just want to be an official and go crazy! ”

Everyone on the side laughed, but Jin Er was not in a hurry, and said:

"Hehe, old Wu thing, you don't know, but I heard that the emperor said, the sage cloud, there is no class, there are many famous generals in this dynasty who are born in the reckless, what are you talking about, what is chivalry, what is chivalry?"

"Chivalrous slaughters more dogs."

A scholar reminded coldly at the other table.

"Yes, chivalrous slaughter more dogs. The emperor said that it is impossible to stop the level of civilians, so even grass people like Ejin Er, as long as they are qualified, they can also enter martial arts. ”

"Then why do you want to be literate?"

"You don't understand this, this martial arts is not recruiting big soldiers, he is recruiting officers! The official can't even write his own name, isn't it a loss of face for the court? However, this martial arts is very simple, as long as you know twenty words and memorize the martial arts instructions, you can enter the next house. ”

After that, Jin Er smiled and said to the scholar:

"I look at Brother Scholar, don't think about taking the Jinshi anymore, the Jinshi only takes the exam for twenty or thirty people a year, even if you take the exam, you may not be able to pass the exam, and you will be delayed for years. With your talent, don't talk about the lower house when you take the martial arts test, it's also easy to go up, and your scholar brother has a good sword hanging on his waist, and he must be able to write and martial arts. ”

In the Tang Dynasty, martial arts were still martial arts, military generals wore more fans, scholars wore more swords, and there was no scholar who did not fantasize about killing the enemy on the frontier and making meritorious contributions, even the sick ghost poets like Li He shouted "Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis of ten thousand households", so many scholars are a little skilled in martial arts, and they can also endure hardships in the army. Jin Er said that this was also a good intention, but the scholar was not very happy when he heard it, and said:

"A certain person was born in the Boling Cui clan and studied hard for more than ten years, how could he not be a jinshi? Even if you don't want to be admitted to the Jinshi and take the martial arts test, you can do it with your hands and go straight to the upper house, so how can you talk about the lower house? ”

Boling Cui clan is one of the seven great scholars of the Tang Dynasty, the clan has been in the court in the past dynasties for the officials of countless people, the Tang Dynasty imperial examination has the Ming Jing, Xiucai, Jinshi and other subjects, but the most important and the most difficult to take is the Jinshi department, known as "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi" said, Yuan Zhi was admitted to the Ming Jing at the age of fifteen, and Meng Jiao was admitted to the Jinshi in his fifties. However, after the entrance examination, the career is often much smoother than other subjects, although it is difficult to take the exam, students are still flocking to it, and even there are not a few people who are poor for it, so later a sober person wrote: "Emperor Taizong really has a long strategy, and he earns all the heroes."

In fact, although it is difficult to take the Jinshi test, it is only a relative statement, and the Jinshi Department does not adopt a vague name system, and it is not like the Song Dynasty that is a transcription of the record, admitting the Jinshi, one look at the door, and the other looks at the reputation, and it is often very easy for the children of the high sect to get the Jinshi, and it is not easy for the disciples of the poor sect.

In addition to the family, it also depends on fame. The so-called fame, in fact, is how many dignitaries are willing to promote you and recommend you, so in order to gain fame, most of the students will put their proud works into a volume, and submit them to the gate of the famous ministers and eunuchs, seeking the appreciation of dignitaries or celebrities, which is called "Xingjuan". Once you get the appreciation and recommendation of a competent person, then the career is open. Xuanzong's Jingzhou Governor Shi Han Chaozong is good at selecting and recommending talents, and his name is important all over the world. When Bai Juyi first arrived in Chang'an, he met the leaders of the literary world, and when he saw Bai Juyi's scrolls, he said with a smile:

"Chang'an houses are expensive, and it's not easy to live in a big house."

As a result, when I read "Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withering", I was overjoyed:

"With this masterpiece, how difficult is it to live in a big house!"

So he publicized it for Bai Juyi, and achieved Bai Juyi's name. In modern Chinese, the word Xiang is also derived from Xiang Si's line to Yang Juyuan. These are all successful in seeking fame. There are also unsuccessful, such as Han Yu, who advocated ancient writing when the pun was popular, and was rejected by the gate of the powerful Sandeng Sande, and as a result, he took the Jinshi exam four times before he was admitted.

Boling Cui's family is a high-ranking surname, and it is natural to be sure that he will be admitted to the Jinshi, no wonder this scholar was unhappy when he heard Jin Er say this. Jin Er saw that this scholar surnamed Cui had a seizure, and he also felt that it was boring to talk about himself, so he had to smile all over his face, apologize and apologize again, this scholar didn't bother to meet him in general, and left after drinking tea. A group of people saw the embarrassing scene and had no intention of talking about it again, only the store received a lot of tea money and was so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut.
