After an afternoon of noisy and shouting, there were fewer and fewer poems hanging up, and most of them were brushed down as new masterpieces emerged.

By the end of the exam, there were still more than 80 poems left on the list, and many of them were on the list, but only two of them were on the list.

The key is that the two of them are first-class masterpieces, and all six poems are in the top ten.

After a public vote, another layer was brushed down, and in the end there were only more than 50 poems left, and after some consideration, there were only 30 poems left in the card.

Even if the exam is successfully concluded, but the matter is not over, these thirty people, a total of fifty-one poems, how to rank, is the focus of everyone's attention.

The West Garden is the most famous garden place in Beijing, and today is August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival stipulated by the emperor himself, and it is full of tourists.

The first public poetry meeting of the Han Dynasty naturally attracted the attention of many people.

All the poems on the list were copied out, and a bunch of people competed to taste them, arguing so much that they were red-faced and happy.

In Liu Zhi's original plan, he was preparing to travel in micro-service and witness this unprecedented grand occasion in person, but it is a pity that the big case a few days ago has not been solved yet, which makes him very unhappy.

I thought that I had a high degree of control over the Jingshi, but the sudden accident let him know that those old families have been entrenched in the Jingshi for hundreds of years, and their strength should not be underestimated.

From the first moment of the crime, Long Linwei and Dali Temple were not idle, controlling the inn as quickly as possible, and then tracking down the source of the food.

Although after some efforts, it was finally determined that someone had made a ghost in the meat, but the butcher who provided the raw meat ran away in advance.

finally chased Henan Yin, but found that the person was already dead and could not die anymore, and went back to pursue the people he had contacted, but there was no clue.

The two persons in charge of Long Linwei, Yang Jian and Shan Chao, after the imperial court reformed the system, their official positions were also changed to the left governor and the right governor of Long Linwei.

couldn't find out the case, and the two of them also felt that their faces were gloomy, knowing that such a big deal was not something that ordinary people could do.

But this butcher has a lot of contact with people on weekdays, and there are all kinds of people from all kinds of religions.

And it's a local tyrant, similar to the town of Kansai, and usually supplies meat to many wealthy families nearby.

It's really complicated to investigate, people are tired and half dead, but there are no valuable clues at all.

At this moment, they were standing in front of Liu Zhi respectfully, and they didn't dare to come out, and now His Majesty's majesty is getting stronger, and he is no longer the noble son who drank and chatted with them at the beginning.

"Stop, it's useless to make people panic with such fanfare.

I think you have to look into this matter in a different direction, and secretly investigate, which families are dissatisfied with the imperial examination, or most of the children are unscrupulous, and it is difficult to pass the imperial examination, they are all suspicious. ”

"No."

The two quickly glanced at each other, and promised in unison, His Majesty's expression was faint, but the words that came out were obviously a little dissatisfied.

Long Linwei is considered His Majesty's private institution, and he only needs to obey his orders, although his rank is not very high, but he has real power.

Even those princes and nobles who are usually invincible, they have to give a little bit of thin face when they see them.

You must know that both of them are from very humble backgrounds, one is a thief leader in the rivers and lakes, and the other is a eunuch who can't get on the stage.

If it weren't for His Majesty's appreciation and promotion, he would not have the honorable status he has today.

Even if there is a change of dynasty, people like them who are from low backgrounds and specialize in doing private things will definitely end badly, so their loyalty to Liu Zhi is beyond doubt.

As a result, now that Jingshi has an accident, they are helpless, if they let Dali Temple solve the case in advance, then their position will be in jeopardy.

Walking out of the Zhongde Palace, the two walked side by side uncharacteristically, "Yang Zuodu, why don't we find a place to discuss, how to start?" ”

In the end, Shan Chao's character is much more atmospheric, and he broke the silence first.

Although the two are both the left and right governors of Long Linwei, and they also have a lot of cooperation on weekdays, they are in a state of competition with each other in private.

Although there are some biases in the business, there are also some tasks that are similar, so it is inevitable that they will compete with each other.

Liu Zhi's attitude towards them is also more subtle, but in general, it is a bowl of water, and they are all relatively serious.

This time, it was a rare union between the two, just because they felt the crisis from Dali Temple.

I finally realized that they are indeed not as professional as the latter in terms of criminal judgment and reasoning and analysis.

If you can't work together, you will be robbed of the first credit by Dali Temple, and in the eyes of Your Majesty in the future, you will only be afraid that your status will plummet and become a thug completely.

"Haha, Shan Youdu, the old man has this intention, please."

The two of them left side by side, but over there Liu Zhi fell into deep thought, in fact, no matter who did it, it was not so important to him.

Importantly, why are they doing it?

Is it just to sabotage the big exam and express the dissatisfaction in my heart, that's too low-level.

If you really want to make a big wave, then the food should be poison, and if you kill a few people, wouldn't the effect be more perfect?

It has been five or six days since the accident, and because of the busy government affairs, he has not been able to calm down and think about it.

"Coming, Scholar Yin, Scholar Yuan, General Cao, Zhang Zhongcheng and Hu Editor-in-Chief."

There is no need to suspect people, there is no doubt about employing people, these people are all ministers of the humerus of the imperial court, and he believes that several people are not involved in this matter.

As a member of the first and second grades of the imperial court, with a high and powerful position, one person can support the heavy responsibility of the family, and there is really no need to destroy the Great Wall.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, even if you talk about things, there is no need to be so serious, Liu Zhi prepared a simple banquet and talked while eating.

When everyone arrived, Liu Zhi asked directly, he has never liked red tape and roundabouts.

"What do you think about this incident of sabotaging the imperial examination?"

Yin Song and Hu Guang are both considered parties, and the responsibility lies in the case, so they naturally should not give in.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the purpose of this move is not to destroy, but to show attitude."

Sure enough, his ideas coincided with Liu Zhi, and in the past few years, Liu Zhi has carried out a lot of reforms, such as investigating corruption, conducting imperial examinations, and land reform, all of which have touched the interests of the family class.

In particular, those middle-class families who are corrupt and pervert the law and abuse their power for personal gain have also been hit harder.

Because a group of first-class families took the lead in expressing their loyalty to Liu Zhi, and there was a lack of leaders in the imperial court, although the dissatisfaction in the hearts of these people was very strong, they could not find a suitable opportunity to oppose it.

Seeing that the emperor's power was consolidating day by day, they began to worry that one day, Liu Zhi would finally attack them completely.

Liu Zhi was suspicious that a considerable number of middle-class families had been united in the field and were ready to rebel against his reform measures.

In vain they tried to force Liu Zhi to repeal these clauses and regain the privileges that belonged to them.

Although there was a lot of attention to this big exam, among the 3,000 candidates, half of them were from poor families and merchants, and more than half of the remaining half were from first-class families.

There are a large number of middle-class families, but there are only such a small number of places, and most of the people who were investigated and dismissed during the previous national rectification of officials also belong to their class.

This also means that they will gradually withdraw from officialdom, and the power of the family will shrink rapidly, and over time, their status will definitely not be guaranteed.

As a result, the entire class has caused a deep sense of panic and crisis, and if nothing can be done, it will only wait to be destroyed.

Liu Zhi is hehe, the imperial examination system has obvious advantages for the family, and their learning resources are far better than those of the poor family.

As long as you adjust your mentality in time, educate your own children well, and cultivate more outstanding talents, the family will naturally become stronger and stronger.

But they didn't reflect on their own bad behaviors, and only blindly blamed the emperor for changing the rules of the game.

Those who do not keep pace with the times will eventually be abandoned by the rolling tide of history.

It's okay, I wanted to take my time, but I couldn't wait to jump out one by one, just to take them under the knife.

Now is different from the past, he has completed the concentration of military power, and has also received the support of some family classes, and he has the confidence to do something to them.

After Yin Song finished speaking, Hu Guang also expressed his opinion, "The old minister thinks that what Scholar Yin said is very reasonable, this scientific expedition, many local families have been wiped out.

They did not think that they were arrogant and lascivious, and that they did not learn and did not know how to do it, but blamed His Majesty for canceling the system of promoting filial piety and honesty, cutting off their official careers, and harboring resentment behind their backs. ”

It seems that after the two deputy examiners went home, they didn't think much about it, so they can come to such a conclusion now.

"It's really not been peaceful recently, and the imperial histories in various places have reflected that some local officials have begun to use their brains on the land again."

Zhang Ling thought about it, originally regarded it as a simple incident, but now that the two sides are combined, he is keenly aware that things are not simple.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people relaxed their chests and basically agreed with Yin Song's point of view.

However, there are differences on the way to solve the problem.

Yuan Xuan believed that he should be severely punished, find out the culprit and make an example, and use severe punishment to deter.

"Destroying the imperial examination and land policy, this kind of behavior is really bold, completely ignoring the laws of the imperial court, and it must be governed, otherwise the country will not be at peace."

However, Hu Guang had a different view, "The imperial examination system is indeed very good, and it can select talents for the imperial court."

But the referral system, which has been around for hundreds of years, has changed suddenly, leaving them no time to adapt to the change.

Lao Chen believes that while severely punishing the perpetrators, we should also consider their situation, after all, they have all been heroes of the Han Dynasty. ”

Most of the declining middle class are old families, whose ancestors were once brilliant and splendid, but now they have long been decayed, and they do not want to make progress, and only know how to eat, drink and be merry.

Causing today's situation, the recommendation system has contributed a lot, anyway, as long as you go through the back door, you can become an official, who wants to study hard.

This is due to the inertia of human beings, who are accustomed to ease and naturally refuse to endure hardship.

Hu Guang's character is a good gentleman, when he was a lieutenant, in addition to being meticulous in selecting talents, basically everything else was in the mud and no achievements.

Of all the high-ranking officials, he was the only one who neither opposed nor supported the New Deal.

There is no way, he represents the clear stream of the older generation, who only knows how to do learning, but has no ability to deal with government affairs.

And when he is old, he can't keep up with his thoughts at all, so Liu Zhi is not surprised at all when he puts forward such an opinion.

Of course, from the time he was recalled to the imperial court, Liu Zhi never expected that Hu Guang would make a difference in court politics.

What he valued was his Hu Guang's talent and fame, and he could afford to be an important semi-academic unit of the Hanlin Academy.

Liu Zhi was noncommittal to his words, and when the rest of the people saw it, they immediately understood what the emperor meant.

The topic turned to discuss how to strictly investigate and govern, the Han Dynasty has never lacked families, the old ones have withdrawn from the stage of history, and they will soon spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and countless court nouveau riche will emerge.

But if you just want to get something for nothing, and don't want to repay the country and the court, then I'm sorry, and I directly ask you to give others a place.

Let those who have the ability to get on the throne in time and get the opportunity to display their ambitions.

Hu Guang saw that no one paid attention to his suggestion, and he was not angry at all, he had the freedom to express his opinions, but he never cared whether His Majesty would adopt it or not.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since these people are so blatant, they must have been prepared behind their backs.

The Tuntian lieutenants in various localities should be immediately notified so that they can pay close attention to the situation and take precautions in time if there is any abnormal phenomenon. ”

Cao Teng, who had not participated in the discussion, put forward his own suggestions worriedly.

His words are not alarmist, in the history of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, there are many such things, once the family class, feeling the threat from the imperial court, will secretly unite to raise troops to make trouble.

Of course, their purpose was not to rebel against the usurpation of the throne, but to show their power and force the emperor to bow to them.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, and most of the time it succeeds, and at the worst it can also win some benefits.

So whether they will repeat their old tricks this time, anyway, Liu Zhi thinks that the possibility is very great.

The land reform did not really shake the power of the families, many of whom had hundreds, if not thousands, of slaves.

As soon as it is gathered, it is an army, and the phenomenon of the family's private possession of weapons is very serious, and it is not a problem to assemble it.

You must know that the ban on iron was only promulgated by him in the last two years, because of frequent peasant uprisings, rampant banditry, and not many local troops.

Therefore, the imperial court acquiesced to the family's possession of weapons to defend itself against robbery.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Zhi set his sights on several states in the Central Plains, the border states were dominated by martial families, and Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou were prosperous in literary style and talented.

The rest of the Qing, Yan, Henan, Xu, Hebei and other places are mostly gathering places for old families, so their interests are the ones that have been hit the hardest.

"It is reasonable, and immediately send an order to the military department to the general secretary, and all local armies must be prepared.

I then transferred Hu Ben and Yu Lin back to the Beijing Division from the border, and stationed them on the Yin side of Henan, ready to deal with the rebellion at any time. ”

Hum! If you want to play the old trick of raising troops and coups in the past, it depends on whether he Liu Zhi agrees.

Don't think that he is still the puppet emperor who is slaughtered by others, and can let them do whatever they want.
