It is precisely because of this that the Song family will be rejected by the former emperor, who thought that this move would shake the national capital of Nanyue, and he later realized that this matter would indeed touch the interests of many parties, and if it continues, it may lead to chaos in the court.

"Your Majesty, how to open the imperial examination?"

Song Shizhen's face was burning.

It was he who advised His Majesty to take care of the dragon's body, but at the moment, this matter is not clear, and he doesn't know if His Majesty is resting well, but he will definitely not be able to sleep himself.

"The general situation is according to the assumption of Lord Song back then, and the specific situation is ...... This is not waiting for Lord Song to draw up a cursive script, and when I return to Jinling to discuss, the imperial list will be released in advance for talented people to prepare, and then take the exam after the autumn harvest. ”

"But Your Majesty, this move may lead to turmoil in the court."

Nowadays, no matter which country it is, the selection of talents is selected from the powerful families, and even the down-and-out children of the poor family have to stand aside, and those who are lucky can pick up some petty officials and officials to do some drudgery.

If His Majesty carries out a drastic reform of talent selection in accordance with what he wrote in the previous recital, I am afraid that South Vietnam, which has just stabilized, will become turbulent because of the powerful families who oppose it.

Your Majesty, the throne, I'm afraid it's just ...... Sit unsteadily.

"The turmoil in the court is not terrible, the turmoil in the world is terrible, this world, make the people's money in peacetime, and make the money of the powerful in turmoil, which means that Lord Song should understand, now that it is a troubled time, it is impossible for the magnates to protect themselves and not want to sacrifice, they replace the emperor and then push up an emperor, and it is in vain if they can't give them what they want."

"On the other hand, the first to benefit from the Guangkai Imperial Examination is not the poor or the commoners, but the children of the powerful who are really talented but have a limited number of places because of the shadow of their ancestors, whether they are from literature or martial arts, the powerful are the best for the poor and the commoners, I just let them replace those useless people by themselves, and give their children some more places to enter the court, Lord Song thinks that the court will be chaotic, or will their own family be chaotic first?"

Zhang Junlin's words are to the point.

The rest is up to Song Shizhen himself to figure out how to make the magnates not only not oppose but also advocate for supporting the Guangkai Imperial Examination.

Class contradictions have existed since history, and all human beings are born equal, which means that they only have one life.

However, life has always been unequal.

Song Shizhen's original intention and direction of opening the imperial examination was right, giving the poor and civilians the opportunity to enter the court to serve, but the timing was wrong.

When Zhang Chengqian was in power, he gave great rights and preferential treatment to the royal family and the magnates, which were used to win the hearts of the people and consolidate the imperial power.

But now the situation has changed.

The first emperor died in a hurry, and many families didn't have time to stand on his side to get the merit of the dragon, and then they didn't take advantage of this group of people to hold the imperial examination because of his thunderous methods.

"Lord Song, I don't rob the rich and help the poor, officials are appointed regardless of their background, those who have both ability and political integrity are reused, those who have talent but no virtue use it carefully, those who are virtuous and untalented use it, and those who have no talent and no virtue do not use it."

"No matter how talents are selected, the powerful families themselves have an advantage, and the time for the Guangkai Imperial Examination to absorb a large number of poor families and civilians is not in these three or five years, but even in ten or a hundred years."

Let the idea of cultural governance and martial arts be transmitted from a high position to the people, and improve the overall level, we cannot rush for a while.

And at the end of the day.

For the emperor, the opening of the imperial examination is not for charity, but just to hoard enough talents for selection and use.

Song Shizhen listened to Jun's words, and knew why he was disliked by the entire court back then, and even many people in the clan did not support his proposal.

He bowed solemnly to his wise Majesty.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has come to his senses."

"The old minister must set himself right and advance this matter."

It's good to be enlightened.

It's not in vain, he spent so much tongue and acted on a bitter trick.

At the end of Zhang Junlin's performance, he waved his hand weakly and walked slowly towards the city tower in the southeast direction.

Song Shizhen looked at the straight back in the dark night and walked farther and farther, and couldn't help but feel an urge to catch up in his heart.

He took a step, and a warm current gushed out from the dantian, which lifted his spirits.

The surrounding Song family felt strange, and when they looked at Song Shizhen, they were all full of surprise.

"Brother, you broke through?!"

"Hmm...... I am already a third-order low-grade literati. ”

Song Shizhen stroked his beard and smiled, his face was old because of the pain he suffered in prison, and at this time he was radiant because of the increase in internal strength brought by the breakthrough.

Song Shilun said "Congratulations" repeatedly.

Even Song Zhi was taken aback by this unexpected surprise.

Uncle since the age of twenty into the court before the official is the second order of the peak of the literati, originally thought that entering the court, with the increase of perception, broad knowledge will gradually advance, who knows that these years have been stuck in the peak of the second order, not only did not break through, but there are faint signs of regression.

If it is said that a martial artist needs to realize the path of martial arts to break through the advancement, then a literati needs to have a deep understanding of literature in his heart.

Thinking of this, Song Zhi couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, but that poem of Your Majesty has untied the knot in your heart?" ”

"Exactly."

Song Shizhen's always serious face showed a faint smile at this time, and his eyes were full of expectation.

"I really didn't expect that Your Majesty's martial arts are so good, and I don't know how many levels of strength Your Majesty is a literati, a casual poem can make me break through the shackles of more than 20 years."

Your Majesty is not only a high-level martial artist, but also understands literary cultivation?

This news made everyone in the Song family ecstatic, especially Song Zhi.

He was thinking in his heart that when he had time, he would definitely ask His Majesty to give him a poem to see if he could also break through to the third-order middle grade.

The uncle recognized the new emperor and assumed the heavy responsibility, and the talented people of the Song family must come out of the mountain.

If he wants to be the current patriarch, it must be difficult for his competitors to see what they have not seen.

He had to reach at least the peak of the sixth order before he could be sure of winning.

"Uncle, it just so happens that I have nothing to do in the past two days, why don't you take me with me to take care of the imperial examination?"

Song Shizhen glanced at his nephew, who was full of heart.

Thinking of his nephew's insidious methods, he nodded in agreement.

"It just so happens that I also have a family motto to remind you of your life and make you memorize it like a stream, and you are familiar with it by heart."

“……”

Song Zhi's scalp suddenly tingled, and he knew that he was afraid that he would have to memorize no less than 30,000 words of articles and family mottos in the past two days.

But in order for his uncle to be able to calculate the entire people of South Vietnam with peace of mind as His Majesty wished, he confessed.

In the matter of loyalty and patriotism, the Song family is definitely not talking about it!

"Before going to bed tonight, Zhi'er will copy the family motto first."

“……”

Song Zhi looked at his uncle, who was flushed with red light because of his advancement, and knew that his uncle was not going to sleep tonight.

But.

He wants to sleep!

He was only two years younger than His Majesty, but he was a head and a half shorter!

The child is still young, and the child is still growing up!

on the city walls.

Zhang Junlin, who took off after bypassing a street, was already leaning on the battlements of the city wall and preparing to meet Duke Zhou.

With the Song family taking the lead, and Song Zhi's little clever ghost, he didn't need to scrutinize the regulations of the Guangkai Imperial Examination.

"Now I'm waiting for Senior Brother Liang to come to sea."

Zhang Junlin closed his eyes peacefully.

In his ears was the crying of the people of Linhai City, accompanying him all night.

In a dream.

He was lucky enough to come in time to turn the tide and successfully stop the massacre of Linhai City.

When he woke up from his dream and opened his eyes, the sun shone on the newly erected tombstones outside the city, and the dazzling sunlight pierced his eyes and wanted to cry.

Sometimes dreaming is a pleasure.

"Your Majesty! At the southwest pass, the fight has started! ”
