Thinking about it, it has been half a month since I came to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the palace these days, his brothers and sisters are in the study.

The atmosphere is serious, and tomorrow will be the day when his father, Emperor Jin Yuan, will test their academic performance.

Unexpectedly, this time it was not only them, but also the children of the princes and nobles who were also admitted to the school.

Of course, his official daughter-in-law Yu Wenjun is also there.

If it weren't for the large number of people around, I would have already stepped forward to talk~

The topic is random, which is sad to death for these people who are dizzy when they study in class on weekdays. As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual.

Every time his father's questions are flexible and meaningful. It's not something that can be fooled around casually!

There are all kinds of books in the study, covering almost all the knowledge books all over the country. Those who were selected to take the examination school, although they were still young, they clearly recognized their superiority.

The family branches, the usual envious eyes of ordinary people greatly contributed to their arrogance.

That arrogant demeanor seemed very unpleasant to him. It is simply a miniature version of the hereditary system of feudal society.

Of course, no one dares to put a stand on him, who calls him the ceiling of the hereditary system - to be the prince of the dynasty...

This time the school examination is slightly different from the past.

This first question is not filled in mechanically on weekdays, but only by listening to his father ask:

"Fighting a war inevitably kills people, and killing people is never a good thing. The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. Recently, there have been many events on the border, and the imperial court is discussing the matter of conquest. It would be best if diplomatic efforts could be made to bring about a cessation of hostilities. Do you have any advice on that?"

This question is a question of military and diplomacy, and it is a practical problem facing the country.

At present, this person on the stage is the son of General Zhang-Zhang Jun, who is only eleven or twelve years old. usually shows off his might, and walks very close to his third brother Sima Chong. Just look nervous, the order of his speech is confused, and he doesn't seem to have much confidence in the answer to the question, but he finally stammers like this.

"If other countries attack our country, if I am a general, I will definitely lead the soldiers to fight back. Blindly going through diplomatic mediation will only show our weakness. Zhang Jun stammered.

The father looked at Zhang Jun, nodded at him and shook his head, exchanged some opinions with Wang Chengxiang and others around him, signaled him to step down first, and remained silent.

General Zhang also immediately looked up at Zhang Jun, but Zhang Jun lowered his head in shame at this time, and did not dare to look at him at all. In fact, you can also feel his answer from his answer.

General Zhang was disappointed with his son's performance, but judging from his previous school performance, he had already been prepared.

The next one, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites - Zhang Nan.

"Since the Rebellion of History, the Central Plains region has been plagued by wars, the people have fled, and the treasury has been empty. At the moment, the country is in an extremely difficult situation. But if you want people to farm, you don't feel at ease living and producing in your hometown; Or increase the commercial tax, and people say that the tax is too heavy. What are your best ways to revive our country? How to get out of the current predicament?

This makes it even harder!

He asked himself, but he couldn't answer.

Xiaonu believes that in order to make the country rich and strong again, it is first necessary to let the people in the city with high moral standing set an example and set an example.

Moreover, the people take food as the sky, first of all, we must ensure that the people do not go hungry, and only when they have enough food and strength can they work and rebuild their families and countries step by step. Zhang Nan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Very good."

Sima Shao saw that his father nodded to Zhang Nan with satisfaction.

Different people understand it differently. Of course, as long as you are a knowledgeable person, you can naturally see many things from it, and this woman has her own ideas, which can be of great use. It's a pity, it's a woman~

......

Finally, it was Sima Shao's turn to appear.

You are my heir, the pillar of the future of my country. I will test you three questions, and you must think carefully about answering them.

"If one day you are the emperor, how can you govern the country?"

"What is your system of court?"

"Can people from the left and right be of great use?"

？？？

He wanted to scratch his head.

His face was entangled, he suddenly thought of something, and he was ruthless, and simply said bluntly: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, if I become the emperor, in addition to enjoying the noble status and glory, serving the people is also a necessary responsibility, as the daughter of the Ministry of Rites said earlier."

You have to set an example first, work yourself, and lead by example. So that the people can support me! We can't sit idly by and watch the people solve problems. We need to listen to the thoughts and voices of the people. ”

So how should the last two questions be solved?

He didn't answer, and looked around.

He also focused on those who were rumored to be arrogant and domineering on weekdays, bullying the people, and causing the people to complain.

Hit the nail on the head:

"The Ugly Pedigree Theory of the Hereditary System."

"The son of a military attache will become a military attache in the future."

"The son of a civil official will also become a civil official in the future."

"The rise and fall of the previous dynasty will continue to repeat itself. The country will never change in the future. ”

The expressions of the people around were different, the emperor seemed to praise and shook his head, and Prime Minister Wang and the others were also divided into three groups.

One side, nodding in praise. One side, red-faced and red-eared. The last side, of course, is to remain neutral and silent.

As for the children of our princes and generals, the officials and nobles, all of them looked at each other in astonishment. With wide eyes and overwhelmed.

In short, the Shang study room was so lively in everyone's hearts for a while!

"The fate of people is decided from the moment they are born." In the crowd, someone shouted and suddenly fell silent.

"That would change this fate!" Sima Shao immediately retorted.

"You come with me."

......

Outside the Shang Study.

"Don't say anything that objectively exists."

"Sooner or later, the people will feel it for themselves."

"Sooner or later, these kids will become who they are meant to be..."

"No"

"I don't want to."

"Why?"

"The retainers do not want to deceive the people from beginning to end."

Sima Shao saw that although his father still had residual anger on his face, there was a little more relief in his eyes, and he seemed to be quite satisfied with his answer.

"I know you're a good boy."

The emperor patted his son on the shoulder and said earnestly, "But if one day you sit in a high position, you must admit that both the people and I need a good example. "

Sima Shao was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head and said resolutely: "Erchen knows what to do." But I also asked my father to consider the candidate carefully. ''

"I know. But everyone knows the candidate in my heart, and I can't joke with the people of the country. I can't even gamble on the future of my Great Jin Dynasty, do you understand? ”

"Yes, Erchen understands, Erchen retired first." After speaking, Sima Shao withdrew from the imperial study.
