Temple of Manna.

Li Er sat alone and meditated, and a sense of frustration came to his heart.

The king of Han, who has been suppressing, did not rebel, but the power he supported was secretly doing things, and now he actually stretched out his hand to the Nanyasi, don't you know if you lose your head one day?

Self-blame, guilt, loneliness, all kinds of emotions come to mind.

After a while, Wang De hurriedly came in: "Shengshang, I have checked, it was the Guozi Jian Confucius who suddenly proposed to increase his academic teaching a few days ago, mainly scriptures, as well as poetry, but the others have not been aggravated. ”

"Scripture?"

Li Er's eyes became more and more gloomy, the scriptures are Confucian thought of Kong Sheng, what is Kong Yingda going to do? Let all students in the world become Confucian children, do you believe in Confucianism or not? My heart moved, and I asked, "When will it start?" ”

"Ten days after the King of Jin led the Southern Yasi."

"Okay, sure enough, there was a calculation!" Li Er laughed angrily, he couldn't hide the killing intent in his eyes, and said coldly: "Spread my word, this Ming Jing Section is fully responsible for the King of Han. ”

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the scientific examination was divided into two kinds: regular subject and system subject, which was held in phases every year and was called regular subject, and the examination held temporarily by the emperor's edict was called system subject.

The regular subject includes Xiucai Branch, Ming Jing Branch, Jinshi Branch, Ming Law Branch, Ming Shu Department and Ming Arithmetic Department six kinds, Ming Jing Department is mainly based on scriptures, candidates choose the corresponding Confucian classics according to their ability and familiarity for examination, those who pass the Five Classics are the highest, those who pass the Three Classics are second, those who pass the Second Classics are the second, and then they are awarded officials.

In other words, the Ming Jingke is the home of Confucianism, and it is also the means by which Confucianism controls the students of the world.

The scriptures annotated by the Great Confucian are standard answers, and if you want to pass the exam, you must study them, and it is best to worship under the Great Confucian sect and become his personal disciples.

The primary examination and the secondary examination of the Ming Economic Section, the primary examination is completed in the local state and county, also known as the tribute examination, and the secondary examination can only be taken after admission, and you have to enter Chang'an to take the exam, the reporting time is before October 15, and the examination time is the first month of the second year, and the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the release of the list in February.

It is now the end of December, and it is about to enter the first month, the registration has long been over, and the candidates are all staying in Chang'an City to review and wait for the exam, Kong Yingda dares to increase the proportion of scripture teaching, Li Er is not good to directly cancel the Ming Jingke to offend the students of the world, but let Han Wang be fully responsible for this scientific examination, right?

In the past, the chief examiner was a foreign examiner of the Ministry of Rites, from the sixth grade, the Han throne was high and powerful, and the prestige was great, who dared to say that I didn't pay enough attention to it? Who dares to find fault?

Thinking of Qin Huaidao's methods of making trouble, Li Er felt that the evil breath in his heart had dissipated a lot.

Wang De also felt Li Er's intention to beat Kong Yingda and the Shandong clan he represented, and said sincerely: "The old slave obeys the order!" ”

At this time, an attendant probed his brain at the door, and Li Er scolded: "What's the matter? ”

The other party hurriedly came in: "Qiqi Shengshang, Chang'an County Ling Ma said that there is an urgent matter to see." ”

"Xuan!"

Li Er chuckled in his heart, it couldn't be a big deal in the department store, right?

Soon, Ma Zhou hurriedly came in and saluted respectfully: "The minister sees the saint." ”

"What?"

"Back to the saint, Liu Sanbang, the three leaders of the Stick Society, was instructed by the procurement manager of the department store to kill Zhou Laohan, the evidence is conclusive, and the murderer has also confessed, but the procurement manager of the department store committed suicide at home, and the eucalyptus cannot continue to dig deeper.

"This is not going to let you enter the palace to see me, right?" Li Er asked.

"The saint is wise, in addition to this matter, there is another matter that needs to be decided by the saint, the stick will do a lot of evil over the years, there are many crimes, a lot of accumulation is identified, many main offenders should be beheaded according to the law, accomplices according to the crimes committed, or sent to the prison, or sent to serve at the border to atone for their sins, the king of Han came to the county government in person, hoping that all the members of the stick club would be sent to Hanzhou to build roads, and the ministers did not dare to be the masters on their own, so they came to ask for instructions."

"Dispatch Hanzhou to build roads?" Li Er was a little surprised, and suddenly remembered that Hanzhou was barren and the roads were impassable, and it was also a way to send the members of the Stick Club to the past, at least it was more cost-effective than wasting the imperial court's food in the prison, and immediately said: "If you have a life in your body, cut it!" The people's grievances could not be redressed, and the rest were handed over to the king of Han for disposal. ”

"Yes."

Ma Zhou solemnly agreed, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Holy Lord, the King of Han also mentioned that there are hundreds of large and small gangs in Chang'an City, with a large number of personnel, who do not produce, oppress the people, and act as prestige, and even many officials and businessmen collude, and the people are miserable, which seriously affects the prestige of the imperial court, and it is recommended to crack down on them severely. ”

Of course, Li Er knew that there were many gangs in Chang'an City, and it was a cancer, so he asked rhetorically, "Is there any evidence?" ”

"This ......"

Ma Zhou's face was a little ugly, and he said stubbornly: "Shengshang, the minister has come to serve as the commander of Chang'an County, and he found that the gang is the victim, and there are more and more people, but every time he investigates, he will encounter various resistances, and it is difficult to go deeper, and those gangs are also cunning, throwing out one or two small characters to accept the guilt, get out, and continue to do evil, and if this continues, it will definitely cause a big disaster." ”

"Every time you track down, you will encounter all kinds of resistance?" Li Er's face changed, and he instantly thought of the family, the gate valve, and the wang family, if the big and small gangs were controlled by these people, and even supported, wouldn't they become their minions?

What do these people want to do with the support gang?

The next moment, Li Er's eyes were cold, and he asked, "Did King Han say how to do it?" ”

"The king of Han asked his ministers to bring a sentence: If the saint does not dare to kill, he will kill, and he will do what the saint does not dare to do." Ma Zhou said stubbornly, feeling that his head was not going to be protected, what is the person who does not dare to kill the saint? In this world, there are still people in the world who dare not kill, things that the saints dare not do?

Li Er was also shocked by the tiger's body and almost ran away.

A dignified saint, who wouldn't dare to kill?

What can't be done?

Soon, Li Erru was deflated, as an emperor, every word and deed must be in line with the etiquette system, there are really many people who can't be killed directly, and many things can't be done, such as the original five surnames and seven hopes, which can be suppressed, but without evidence, it is not possible to use the knife directly.

However, Li Er knew Qin Huaidao's character and asked, "What does King Han want?" ”

Ma Zhou saw that the saint didn't cut off his head in anger, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "King Han said that he hoped that the saint could hand over all the gang members who were not guilty to death to him and take them to Hanzhou to build roads. ”

Li Eryi heard that it was building roads again, and he could accept it, but behind these gangs stood the family, the gate valve, the wang clan, and even the hundred officials of the imperial court, and they all started their whole body, if they agreed to crack down on the gangs, these people would inevitably rebound, but if they did not agree, the gangs would probably become more and more fierce and become a force that threatened the imperial court.

After thinking about it, anyway, it was the King of Han who went to attack, and the people were handed over to the King of Han, so that the King of Han and the people behind the gang would wrestle their wrists, it was best to lose both sides and gain their own benefits, so why not?

Besides, the king of Han and the people behind the gang became enemies, and the rebellion was rare and increased greatly, which was beneficial to himself, and his heart moved, and said: "Tell the king of Han, just say that I am accurate, and there will be a will in a while." ”

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister retires!" Ma Zhou bowed and left, his heart was full of shock, he actually agreed, he was not afraid of making a big incident, Chang'an was unstable?

Out of the imperial city, Ma Zhou did not immediately return to the county office, but came to the imperial history platform to find Wei Zheng, who was reviewing the documents, and asked the doubts in his heart after explaining the situation: "My lord, the lower official has already reminded the saint, and the saint should also know the harm and involvement of the gang, but he still agrees to the invitation of the king of Han, so he is not afraid of accidents?" ”

Wei Zheng didn't raise his head, and said with a calm face: "Lu Guogong is back in charge of the Southern Yasi." ”

"Huh?" Ma Zhou was stunned, reacted reluctantly, and the doubts in his heart disappeared, and he sighed: "I see, with Master Cheng here, Chang'an can't be chaotic, and there is still something that students want to ask adults." ”

It is naturally a private matter to be commensurate with students.

Wei Zheng slowly raised his head and looked at Ma Zhou: "You and I are also teachers and friends, there is no need to be polite, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

"The student wants to go to the Han Palace."

Wei Zheng's eyes narrowed: "Are you serious?" ”

"Yes, if you can, the student would like to ask the adults to recommend one or two."

"Your conduct, courage and talent are impeccable, and in time, you will definitely be the same, and you will be wronged if you go to the King of Han." Wei Zheng reminded.

Ma Zhou said seriously: "But you can expand the territory, and the King of Han will never stick to a corner of Hanzhou." ”

"It's a person who understands, rather than keeping it, it's better to open up, this official is the former minister of the former dynasty, the most touched, no matter what, it can't compare to the position of those founding princes in the heart of the saint, you have this vision, ambition and courage, it's amazing, but not for the time being, wait until the king of Han leaves Chang'an."

Ma Zhou nodded knowingly: "The student knows that now in the past, the saint must be angry, and even worried, suspecting that King Han has ulterior motives and is counterproductive. ”

"Now that you've made a decision, it's good to follow your heart." Wei Zheng looked back and continued to review the paperwork.

"Master Xie solves the puzzle!"

Ma Zhou solemnly bowed, held the disciple salute, and then turned away, his steps calm and firm.
