Let's say that in the West Garden, more than a dozen examiners argued for a long time for the ranking, and they were almost about to fight.

Of all the literary works, poetry is the most difficult to judge.

Everyone's state of mind, level of appreciation, and appreciation style are different.

This is also the fundamental reason why Liu Zhi does not approve of the inclusion of poetry in the imperial examination, in addition to being difficult to score the papers, it is also easy to leave the hidden danger of cheating.

At present, this situation is more elegant, and it is easier for people with outstanding poetry to become famous in one fell swoop.

At this time, the high-level meeting in the palace was almost over, and as for the details, it was naturally left to the departments themselves to discuss.

After the meeting was dismissed, Liu Zhi asked the people who were waiting on the left and right, only then did he know that the poetry conference, which was originally scheduled to end in two hours, was still arguing for three hours now.

It seems that he really underestimated the stubbornness of these literati, so he immediately issued a supplementary order, and the ranking of the examination was in no particular order, and the number of strokes of the surname was used as the sorting standard.

The charm of poetry lies in conforming to the mood, touching people's hearts, and arousing emotional resonance.

Even if the same person is in different periods, the poems they like will be different, so why bother to be blunt and have to distinguish them?

Several examiners are about to roll up their sleeves and beat people, but fortunately, Liu Zhi's order came in time, otherwise I wouldn't know how to end today.

The scholars of the Han Dynasty were completely different from the weak images of later generations, and there was riding and archery in the six arts of the gentleman, and the literati of that era liked to travel the world with swords.

The heroic spirit is very strong, and it is not uncommon to disagree with each other, and it is not uncommon to draw swords against each other.

Although the exam is over, the debate has not stopped, and there is a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys, and everyone has a first in their hearts.

It can be said that this poetry meeting has greatly improved the enthusiasm of the Han people for poetry, although there are only 30 places in each imperial examination, which is a bit of a deviation.

But in any case, for those who are really not good at strategy, there is at least one more chance.

Soon, the final quota of the poetry club was sent to Liu Zhi's desk, along with the fifty-one poems.

At this moment, he is in Yong'an Palace, spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with the Empress Dowager Yun.

So there was more to talk about at the banquet, and we appreciated and commented on these masterpieces together, as for those court disputes, Liu Zhi would never mention them in front of his mother.

The Empress Dowager Yun basically does not ask about the government affairs, let alone interfere arbitrarily, so she has a good reputation among the subjects of the Han Dynasty and is recognized as a virtuous Empress Dowager.

Those who attended the banquet in Yong'an Palace were all from their own families, and only Queen Deng Meng was qualified to attend among the concubines, even if it was Tian Mi, the new concubine of the harem, who was favored by the crown, did not have the opportunity to participate.

According to the palace rules formulated by the Empress Dowager Yun, the emperor must accompany the queen on all major festivals, such as the Spring Festival, spring equinox, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang, winter solstice and other festivals.

This system is mainly to maintain stability in the harem, highlight the status and authority of the queen as a wife, and also reflect the class order of feudal society.

But after all, after the festival, Liu Zhi will not be too stingy, and he has given gifts to all the concubines in the harem, even the queen mother and the queen have gifts.

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives.

For the sensual and delicate Concubine Rou, no matter how much gold and silver jewelry she has, silk and satin are not as good as the company of her beloved.

Since she became pregnant, she has become more and more sentimental, often crying in the wind, and Liu Zhi has also comforted her several times for the sadness of the moon.

It's just that he is busy with court affairs all day long, even if he feels sorry for Tian Mi, he doesn't have time to accompany him often, so he can only spend a little time to give him some small gifts that he thinks are romantic.

Another pregnant Geng Jieyu, Liu Zhi did not slow down, this woman has a down-to-earth and generous personality, which is closer to modern women.

Liu Zhi admires her more and is more comfortable with her, although Tian Mi is charming and cute, he always wants him to coax and spoil her, and she is a little tired after a long time.

He felt average about the rest of the concubines, and occasionally he would be lucky, and the main purpose was to pass on the lineage.

After all, he has deeply realized that if an emperor has no son, there is no legitimate heir to the empire.

It's a disaster for itself and for the country as a whole.

That night, Liu Zhi accompanied his mother to let go of the wishing lantern, and then returned to Changqiu Palace with Deng Meng.

Changqiu Palace is the prescribed queen's palace, Deng Meng moved over after the seal, Liu Zhi usually deals with government affairs, and most of the time is in the Zhongde Hall of the South Palace, so that the distance between the two is closer.

Because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was originally called the Moon Festival, and there were traditional activities to worship the moon at night.

The emperor and queen set up incense tables in the courtyard, offered some vegetables, melons and fruits, and then prayed to the moon.

The ancient festival atmosphere was relatively strong, and the sense of ritual was strong, and Liu Zhi also seriously asked for a return to the country to Tai Min'an, and the wind and rain were smooth.

Anyway, it's good to do your best, as a modern soul, who really expects a satellite to be omnipotent.

When I looked back, I saw Deng Meng dressed in purple, standing in the bright moonlight, his eyes closed, and his face was pious.

After a while, the two of them were admiring the moon in the courtyard, and Liu Zhi asked with a smile, "What wish did you just make?" ”

Deng Meng blushed rarely, "The concubine made a wish to grow old with His Majesty, and not to be like Chang'e." ”

The story of Chang'e running to the moon has existed since ancient times, and it has been circulated in the world since the Western Han Dynasty, so Deng Meng sighed.

Under the hazy moonlight, Liu Zhi only felt that a soft place in his heart had been hit.

"Don't worry, we are husband and wife, and we will definitely take the hand of our son and grow old with our son."

"Bring the hand of the son, grow old with it......"

Deng Meng muttered this poem, slowly leaning on his shoulder, Liu Zhi reached out to wrap his hand around her shoulder, and the two of them looked at the moon in silence.

A warm and tranquil atmosphere shrouded the two of them, and it felt very beautiful from a distance.

The female officer Deng Wan looked at all this with a smile, and secretly made a gesture to let the people who were waiting around her stay away and leave them a quiet space.

She saw the queen's suffering in her heart, and it was rare to have such a good opportunity today, so she naturally didn't want to disturb them.

At this moment, an attendant from outside hurriedly arrived.

"Your Majesty, Empress, Concubine Rou was unwell and suddenly fainted."

Both of them were taken aback, for no reason, why did they get sick?

She was pregnant, so naturally the matter was very important, and Liu Zhi immediately rushed over with Deng Meng.

In the Changchun Palace, there was already a doctor carefully diagnosing and treating her, Deng Meng inquired, only to know that she was overly worried and injured the fetus.

Deng Meng was speechless for a while, this woman had already shared half of Liu Zhi's favor, but she was still not satisfied, she was sad all day long, and she didn't know what to do.

"Fortunately, the situation is not very serious, take a few doses of medicine, bed rest for a while, and you should be fine.

Just ......"

The imperial doctor stopped talking and glanced at Liu Zhi cautiously.

"If there is anything to say, it is about the emperor's heir, and there must be no concealment."

Deng Meng frowned when he saw this.

The imperial doctor got this and hurriedly replied: "Concubine Rou thinks too much, which is not conducive to raising the fetus, if it goes on like this, it will be difficult for the minister to ensure the safety of the fetus in the womb." ”

If he doesn't talk about the ugly things in the future, what will happen in the future, so how can he bear the responsibility?

As soon as he said this, Deng Meng couldn't say anything, Concubine Rou just hoped to be loved by the king.

She can understand this feeling, but ...... This is the palace, and the man in front of him is the king of a country, and it is impossible to leave his enthusiasm to only one woman.

It's easy to say, but it's difficult when it comes to the end, it's that she herself has gone through a lot before she gradually understands these truths.

Liu Zhiyan frowned when he heard this, and didn't say anything, he knew Tian Mi's character, but he liked to think crankily.

I can't help but have a headache for a while, this girl, there is really no way to take her, she is exhausted every day, she is busy for state affairs, and now she has to worry about her, she is really tired.

Deng Meng was smart and didn't squeak, she really didn't want to mix with this kind of thing, don't get into trouble when the matter is not resolved, but she will be fishy.

"Ah Meng, I'm sorry, why don't you go back first, and I'll spend time with you another day."

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she should have been by Deng Meng's side, but now she wants to keep the empty boudoir alone, so she is naturally a little guilty.

As early as when he heard that Concubine Rou was seriously ill, Deng Meng was already mentally prepared, knowing that Liu Zhi would stay in Changchun Hall today no matter what.

Hearing this, he smiled generously, "Your Majesty, relax and persuade Concubine Rou well, there is no need to worry about the concubine." ”

After saying that, he got up and said goodbye, looking at her back in the moonlight, Liu Zhi sighed.

The three palaces and six courtyards are not so easy to enjoy, is he worrying too much about the harem.

If you go on like this, if you learn from others and have thousands of concubines, won't you be tired to death?

For a while, Concubine Rou took the medicine, woke up slowly, and when she saw Liu Zhi beside her, she couldn't help but feel sad and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Liu Zhi couldn't help it, who told him that he usually spoiled her, but now he was really asking for hardship, so he had to comfort her softly again.

It was easy to make Concubine Rou burst into laughter, and after Liu Zhi came back from the Zhongde Hall for a few days, he stayed in the Changchun Palace.

It wasn't until her condition improved and her mood calmed down a lot that she was relieved.

August 16 is the day of the palace examination, according to the rules of previous years, the top 10 in the big examination will be in the Yutang Hall to be presided over by the emperor himself.

The top three will be selected as the winners of this year's big exam.

Compared with the first time, the questions of this year's palace examination have changed significantly, and Liu Zhi has tested their views on the frontier of immigration.

The test is their overall view of the national form, and he has placed great hopes on this examination, hoping to find potential talents who can take charge of themselves.

In the end, Boling Liu You won the praise of the audience with his outstanding eloquence and political views, and was crowned the leader.

The second place is Bohai Basu, this person is also outstanding, Tanhua is a young man with outstanding appearance, Runan Guo Liang.

This person is a student of the late Taiwei Li Gu, not only talented, but also loyal and courageous, Li Gu was killed by Liang Ji that year, and the corpse was outside the summer gate.

Guo Liang was still a nineteen-year-old boy at the time, but he led a group of Tai students, carrying axes and blood books to the gate of Pingcheng, asking him and the Empress Dowager Liang for their lives.

If Liu Zhi hadn't knocked him out in the middle of the night and taken him away, this stubborn teenager might not be able to save his life.

Afterwards, he rushed to Li Gu's hometown, and together with his son, he kept a vigil for his mentor for three years, and his name of loyalty and martyrdom had already spread all over the world.

Therefore, after he participated in this imperial examination, Liu Zhi has been paying attention to his performance, and seeing that his results are very good, he deliberately guided him during the palace examination and gave him a chance to perform.

After four years of precipitation, Guo Liang has long since lost his recklessness and impulsiveness, and has become much calmer, which won Liu Zhi's appreciation, and he was specially designated as Tanhualang.

So far, the top three have been released, followed by a banquet in the palace, playing horses and arranging flowers to parade the streets, and repeating the lively scenery of the year.

The people of Beijing, moving in the city, have been guarding the cold window for ten years, and once known all over the world.

Liu Zhi wanted such a sensational effect, inspiring more scholars, one after another, although the basic education of the Han Dynasty was prosperous, but it was limited to the family class.

What he wants is for the rise of the poor, and for everyone to be able to read and write wherever there is well water, so as to improve the quality of the entire nation.

Therefore, he vigorously encouraged education and classlessness, and encouraged all kinds of special talents to take the position by virtue of their ability, just to break the monopoly of Confucianism and reproduce the grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought.

Of course, in terms of ideology and ideology, Confucianism is still the mainstay, and if other schools of thought and philosophy are allowed to exist, it will be difficult to rule and will easily cause great chaos in the country.

When modern people mention Confucianism, they angrily denounce it as feudal dross, but in feudal society, Confucianism still has extremely positive ideological significance.

There is no doubt about that.

After some excitement, it was finally calm, and the jinshi of the middle lift waited for the officials to be assigned positions, and because of their early preparations, many vacancies across the country had been sorted out.

So this time the distribution was very smooth, and in just two months, it was basically all done.

As for the sudden incident on the day of the big exam, the imperial court explained it as an accident and calmed down the matter from the perspective of public opinion.

After all, the purpose of those who are doing ghosts behind their backs is to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, so that Liu Zhi can understand their ability and determination.

It is better if the emperor can retreat in the face of difficulties and make adjustments and concessions on the land policy and the imperial examination policy, so that everyone will be happy.

It's a pity that from beginning to end, Liu Zhi never intended to make concessions, but secretly transferred the forbidden army back from the border.

Before the end of the year, a rebellion that had been expected by Liu Zhi and the court bosses finally happened.

The reason why they knew that there would be a rebellion and did not intervene in advance was that they would take the initiative to jump out on their own.

Either you don't do it, and doing it is a thunder method, and this time they must pay the price, otherwise it will always be a hidden danger.

The riots began in the city of Yanzhou, where seven or eight thousand private soldiers gathered by several great families, and the conflict between the land policy and the local government eventually developed into premeditated unrest.

As if it was a signal, followed by Xuzhou and Yuzhou, there were families who began to respond.

Under the banner of oppression, they attacked the local government and demanded that the emperor readjust the land policy and give them justice.
