Chapter 448: The Birth of the Imperial Examination System (I)

Uncle Li didn't speak, and the students worked hard to take notes, but now Uncle Li's expression was extremely heavy, maybe it can be said that an emperor with excellent intelligence like Uncle Li has been able to see the huge crisis lurking in the Tang Dynasty at such a peak from my mouth and from my thinking mode.

However, as the so-called master brings in the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual, today, I have only raised this question, and the final solution is also in Uncle Li's hands, not in my hands.

“…… Of course, inequality and local power make mergers more rapid and inevitable. Wang Mang's new policy at the end of the Western Han Dynasty was because of land annexation, and the final rebellion of the red eyebrows and green forests was the fundamental reason. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the same land annexation was seriously ......"

After talking for nearly half an hour, this topic was finally over, Uncle Li was still squatting on the couch and pretending to be a Bodhisattva, and he had no intention of leaving, so I didn't bother, but after waiting for a long time, Uncle Li was still thinking about the case very indifferently.

Helplessly, I decided to slip away first, anyway, after the course, it was time for us to go home for dinner, and quietly touch the door of the temple with a few students.

"Virtuous son-in-law leave off!" Uncle Li is really listening to all directions and looking at the six roads, and he grabbed me without lifting his head,!

In desperation, I had to sneak back to Uncle Li and sit down: "I don't know what advice my father-in-law has." ”

"Well, I can't talk about advice, today it's just you and me, it's time to chat, come on! Serving wine, today said, the old man wants to talk to the virtuous son-in-law. Uncle Li lowered his head and looked at me sideways, and quickly nodded: "Xiao Mei can't ask for it." "I'm an honest person, and I rarely come and go politely with people. Since Uncle Li invited me, it is not easy for us to lose the face of His Majesty the Emperor.

After ----------------------------------------------------------- a few glasses of wine and a few bites of food, Uncle Li opened the conversation: "Listening to the words of the virtuous son-in-law today, I know that the virtuous son-in-law is also the confidant of the old man......" Uncle Li drank a glass of wine, pursed his lips and sighed.

"Old man, looking at the history books, how many wise people can there be in the world? Except for the founding monarch and the king of Shoucheng, the rest of the sons are all idle people, so let's take the Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by the virtuous son-in-law, why not? Cao Yingshi's annihilation of the male, his son Pi is also talented, but what? Cao Rui is only a Xiao returned to Cao Sui'er, and Eastern Wu, except for Sun Ce's father and son, and then, none of Sun Quan's descendants can succeed him...... I have to make the old man worried. ”

"Father-in-law, son-in-law thinks, this is indeed related to their growth environment, the father's life and death war to split the land to open up the territory, what about the children and grandchildren? As soon as he was born, he was clothed and fed, and there were a lot of people waiting everywhere, and they had no way to understand the living environment of the people in the world, and the son-in-law had heard such a joke. ”

"What joke?" Uncle Li took a piece of food and stuffed it into his mouth, and raised his eyes to me and asked.

"I don't know if it was the Spring and Autumn Period or the Warring States Period, a minister reported to the monarch that there was a disaster in the country, and the common people had no food to eat, and even fed their hunger with bark and grass roots. And this monarch, who has been hidden in the deep palace all the year round, and eats delicious food and wine, asked his ministers curiously why they didn't eat meat since they had no food to eat? ”

Uncle Li had just chewed two mouthfuls of dried meat and was directly squirted out, and he laughed loudly for a long time before pointing at me and saying, "Okay, you kid, you are teasing the old man." ”

"Where, how dare the little son-in-law tease you, but although this is a small joke, the deep meaning in it is not trivial, Your Majesty!" I spoke to Uncle Li sincerely.

Uncle Li stopped laughing, and his eyes were a little sentimental: "Yes, thinking of the prince, isn't it an example?" The whole thing is full of fine clothes and jade food, and he has been taught by famous teachers in the world, but he doesn't know the suffering of the people, and every time he eats, he still worries about what to eat? The old man's teachings and the teacher's admonitions were all left behind by him......"

"I hope that my father-in-law will control his anger, this is not His Majesty's fault, nor is it the prince's fault." I hurriedly persuaded.

Uncle Li frowned, and his eyebrows twisted: "What do you mean by this?" ”

I smiled, very Zhuge Brother Confucianism's posture of not being shocked, took a sip of wine and said: "Actually, everyone understands this truth, but the ministers are unwilling to say it, even if they say it, it is still Your Majesty who is embarrassed." ”

Uncle Li was slightly stunned, looked at me carefully, and frowned: "You are the son-in-law of the old man, you come." The old man will not blame you or punish you. ”

"Then please forgive my father-in-law for my courage, in fact, to put it simply, it is a sentence: born in sorrow, died in peace." Yes, it's a very simple sentence, but how many people in the world can really do it?

"Born in sorrow and died in peace, the old man remembers, this is from Mencius, right?" Uncle Li turned back to me and asked.

Exactly, its title is "Shun Fa in the Mu of Acres". In the first paragraph of the article, six celebrities are listed: Shun, Fu Shuo, Jiao Wei, Guan Yiwu, Sun Shuao, and Baili Xi, who are either legendary saints, or famous sages and talents in history, and the reason why they are listed in the first paragraph of the article is because before they became celebrities, they either endured hardships, or engaged in inconspicuous work, or they were not known to the world...... If a person is always in a happy life, does not want to make progress, does not have a sense of distress, he will go to perdition.

This article begins with the role of individual suffering, but it also talks about the situation of the country, if the peace is too smooth, under this false appearance of peace, the people of the whole country will relax their vigilance, so that the country will collapse and perish once it encounters internal and external troubles. ”

I knelt on the low couch and said earnestly to Uncle Li: "Father-in-law, you are Shengming, you have experienced wars, and you have shared weal and sorrow with the soldiers, but ......"

Uncle Li's head didn't move, he just looked at the ground, and suddenly raised his hand to stop me from speaking: "You don't need to say it. Virtuous son-in-law, you should go back and rest earlier, the old man said today, you have to think about it, you really have to digest it well. ”

"Yes, the son-in-law is retiring." I also breathed a sigh of relief, although Uncle Li's spleen surname is good, but my words are too big and too wide, and even have extended their tentacles to the royal family, fortunately, if someone else is the emperor, such as those in the early Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that my head has already become an eight-petal flower by now.

----------------------------------------------------------- how Uncle Li thinks is his business, and I also have my own things to consider, the circulation of "Datang Times Weekly" has doubled, which is a very good phenomenon, and the long-term loss that I expected has not appeared at all, and whether it is a poor scholar, or a high-ranking official or a noble family, right now, The discussion of selling one's knowledge and getting money has been diluted, and it is mainly due to the degree of openness and openness in the early Tang Dynasty.

And the number of issues in two issues per month has increased to three, and I am still waiting, waiting for the time when the newspaper will be published.

Wei Boyu also contributed, he is a historian, this point, I also appreciate it, since ancient times, historians belong to a transcendent position, although the grade is not high, but their personality and morality can not but be admirable, otherwise, China's ancient history will be another look, even Uncle Li's Xuanwumen change, has also been faithfully recorded, if it is put in the dynasty with braids, I am afraid that it is a so-called mystery case.

"What are you all talking about?" I put down my pen, stretched my waist, and smiled at my wives and concubines who were sitting around the fireside chatting.

"Junlang came here to sit, warm and warm, today I heard the eldest brother and father-in-law talking, saying that it is almost the end of the year, and it is time to prepare for the imperial examination." Cheng Luanluan patted the empty space on his body and smiled at me.

"Imperial examinations? When? "I sat next to Cheng Luanluan, the heat from the coal stove was so uncomfortable, this kind of stove is not bad because I designed it, but when I was young, the small iron stove used in the seventies and eighties was hundreds of times better, it was warm, the lining on it was very wide, and it was still warm on the top, of course, it had to be clothed, otherwise, it was very hot.

"Toshiro doesn't know why?" Li Shu covered his mouth and chuckled. "The provincial test is held every year during the Spring Festival, and now it's winter, and my father, as the governor of Shangshu Province, should take care of this matter."

"Oh, well, I thought you were talking about something else, why are you talking about this? Isn't it that a few of you also put on makeup as men, and you can't pass the exam once? I squeezed Cheng Luanluan's hand, turned my head and smiled at them.

"Not serious!" Li Shu glared at me angrily. "Needless to say, our Lang Jun didn't know when he was passing by." The palace maid sister covered her lips and said with a smile.

Glaring at the palace maid's sister: "Nonsense, when is the husband not passing by, when he is working, he has to be serious, and when he is free, he has to be happy as he wants, people, he has to live like this, otherwise, he has a stinky fart face for his husband, and he is also evil when he talks about people, don't say that it is my own, I am afraid that you will have to see your husband in two days, and you will not be able to avoid it." Do you think it's interesting? ”
