These scholars who were recommended from below were called Juren, and after they passed the examination of the Ministry of Rites and the Guozijian, they would enter the temple examination.

The current imperial examination of the Great Sui has also been improving, and Yang Ming has not been idle, because he knows that the imperial examination is the top priority.

Under his continuous reforms, the imperial examinations of the Great Sui Dynasty have gradually become more complex and diverse, in addition to the ten subjects, 12 subjects have been added: Ming Law, Xiucai, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Sanchuan, History, Tongzi, Calligraphy, Arithmetic, Agriculture, and Engineering.

Among them, Jinshi is still the first of all subjects, because in addition to the examination of scriptures, it focuses on the examination of poetry and current affairs, that is, the main examination of literary level and views on governing the country and the people.

In addition, the new agriculture and engineering, which has never been before, agriculture is breeding and planting technology, engineering is civil engineering, these two technologies, have always been controlled by major families, but there are also many people who rely on practice, have accumulated a lot of technical experience of special talents.

For example, in terms of wood species, Samurai Tong is an expert, don't look at him as a businessman, he doesn't know much about wood than him, and he also understands engineering construction, this is a double talent in agriculture and engineering.

Yang Ming can see that the yamen of the Ministry of Industry must be mixed in with some fresh blood, otherwise from top to bottom, they are all from those families.

This year, 6,000 scholars entered Beijing to take the examination, which was the largest number since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Of course, Yang Ming's contribution is not small, because in the scientific expeditions of previous years, some people were indeed arranged, which made all the scholars in the world see hope.

There is nothing more promising than being an official.

These 6,000 people entered Beijing, bringing in more than 6,000, one person with ten slaves, this is also 60,000 people, Daxing City has never been as lively as it is now, and there is no place to sleep in the sea of scholars.

"Say hello to Chang'an County and Wannian County, and set aside some public houses to settle the candidates, so that the scholars don't even have a place to sleep."

In the Daxing Palace, Yang Ming is presiding over the court meeting.

Public houses are some ownerless houses under the county yamen, such as those who have been convicted and killed, those whose families have never been inherited, and those that have not been sold by the county government themselves.

There aren't many of these houses, but if you convert them all into Chase shops, you'll be able to live a lot of people.

Don't look at the scholars, many of them are from families, and they haven't slept with others before, but after coming to Jingshi, you have to endure all the hardships and hardships.

Wei Yunqi is here today, and his identity allows him to participate in Yang Guang's court meeting, but Yang Ming's court meeting, he is usually not qualified.

And he also likes this, because the court meeting is a meeting, and he has nothing to do with leisure, but he has to hold his eyelids for an hour or two, which is boring, or the prince's court meeting, he doesn't use it, he only needs to go to the hussar mansion every day to order a mao, and he can sleep back.

"The pressure on law and order in Jingshi has been very strong recently, and the minister has asked the imperial court to allocate some manpower to assist the Hussar Mansion," Wei Yunqi said.

The hussar mansion of the Beijing division is very special, this yamen actually does not have much power, because most of the soldiers under him come from the left and right Yi guards in the twelve guards who changed defenses, the left and right Xiao guards and the left and right military guards, not counting the four mansions, the four mansions are forbidden troops.

The one who changed the defense and came in to guard the Beijing Division, also called Wuhou Wei, can be understood as the forbidden army of the capital, which is different from the forbidden army of the palace.

And the Wuhou Wei who is really normal in Beijing does not have more than 6,000 people, and Wei Yunqi can only mobilize these people.

In fact, it is the separation of defense powers, and the Jingshi is an important place, and it is definitely impossible for anyone to control the entire Jingshi's guards.

Wei Yunqi's suggestion is actually to ask for power, because nominally, the security of the Jingshi is under his control, but in fact, there are more people in charge.

How could Yang Ming give it to him: "In this matter, you go to Li Yuan, and he will help you coordinate the guards." ”

Li Yuan is Jingzhao Yin and Guogong, and he can participate in the court meeting, but he has been too busy recently, so Yang Ming exempted him from the court meeting and asked him to maintain the Jingshi well.

After all, the two county offices of Jingshi are under his control.

What else can Wei Yunqi say? He originally looked for Li Yuan, and Li Yuan also helped greet Yin Shishi, Xue Shixiong, Shi Xiang, Xin Shixiong, Cui Hongsheng, and Li Jing, but these six people didn't take Wei Yunqi very seriously, nor did they take Li Yuan's words to heart.

But now that the prince has spoken, these six people can't help but listen.

In the final analysis, each is asserting its own power, and once you get hold of it, you can't let it go.

After Wei Yunqi left, Yang Ming looked at Xuan Gan and frowned:

"Why don't I think you're working hard at all? There was not the slightest hint of fatigue on his face. ”

Is Xuan tired, really tired, the imperial examination is under his control, and he is already in a hurry, but he is good at pushing work, and he pushed half of the imperial examination to Guozijian, so that a group of old men in Guozijian were tired, and the Ministry of Rites was a lot easier.

"The minister is very hard, but no matter how hard and tired he is, he can't show it in front of His Highness, don't hide it from His Highness, I haven't slept well for ten years," Xuan Gan said with a hug.

Yang Ming and Yang Yue couldn't help but laugh at the same time.

Yang Yue smiled: "It's true, Xuangan is still very hard during this time, more than 6,000 scholars, a total of twenty-two subjects, I feel dazzled and dizzy when I see those names." ”

He was dizzy because Da Sui had never had such a large-scale selection of scholars, and he used to just go to the ministry to line up.

The current situation is tantamount to mixing some people who are not qualified to queue up in the queue, and the queue speed has been accelerated.

As for scientific research fraud, it is really unavoidable at the moment.

The gate valve family is all relatives and relatives, among the six thousand scholars, the relationship can reach Shangshu Province, there are only half of them, can you stop it?

I can't stop it.

So Yang Ming can only do his best to let those who are not very well-connected come in and become officials.

After the court meeting dispersed, Yang Ming returned to the East Palace, and Yang Yinjiang was entertaining an old man, the Shen lady of the Jiangling Shen family.

"The concubine bows to His Royal Highness the Prince," as soon as she saw Yang Ming, Shen's eyes became wet, and she hurriedly made a big salute.

Yang Ming stepped forward and said with a smile: "Madame, get up, I haven't seen you for many years, Madame Huafa has been born, which is emotional, don't be restrained, sit down." ”

At that time, Yang Ming was still the governor of Jingzhou, and became attached to a painting of Zhan Ziqian, and since then, the Shen family has risen rapidly in the Jiangling area, controlling Jingzhou Caoyun, and many children have entered the office, and the family power is in full swing.

This is all thanks to Yang Ming, because everyone in Jingzhou knows that the backer of the Shen family is the current prince.

And the Shen family doesn't look at people as a woman, now in the Jiangling generation, they are all called Mrs. Shen, her qualifications are not enough to be called Mrs., but the prince calls people like this.

In the Great Sui, in fact, only the wives of officials above the fifth rank can be called Mrs.

Since she saw Yang Ming, the Shen family has been wiping away her tears, this is the true feelings, she knows better than anyone else that the Shen family's situation today is all thanks to the benevolent father in front of her.

She is very close to Yang Ming.

When Yang Yinjiang was in Jingzhou, he often dealt with the Shen family, and when he saw this, he stepped forward to appease the other party, and then smiled at Yang Ming:

"Madame's two sons have entered Beijing this year, and now they are settled in Jinyang Building, and they will also participate in the scientific examination."

In the past, Yang Ming sent books to the Shen family, and those books were the main question bank of the Great Sui scientific examination.

"You should bring them into the palace and let me see how old they are."

Shen said with a happy smile: "Back to Your Highness, the eldest son Shen Tong is twenty-one this year, the second son Shen Shu is eighteen this year, and the second son is a commoner and should not enter the palace." ”

"Can you do it in normal times?" Yang Ming asked.

Shen said honestly: "They are not easy to learn, but under the supervision of the concubine, they are still proficient in scriptures. ”

"It's good to know the name, don't worry, it will be arranged for your two children," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile.

Shen Shi was suddenly shocked: "By all means, the Han family has to hang the curtain of the prince, only today, there is no way to repay the grace of heaven, how can you inherit the grace again?" ”

Saying that, the Shen family saluted Yang Ming and said, "The concubine asks to see His Highness, but she has no intention of doing so, and I also ask Your Highness not to give preferential treatment." ”

Yang Yinjiang gave Yang Ming a look, which probably meant that she shouldn't be deceiving.

In fact, even if the Shen family really came to beg Yang Ming, Yang Ming would agree, after all, this was his biggest fan in the Jingzhou area.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, it's rare for you to come to Jingshi once, so let Yuan Wendu's wife accompany you for a good walk," Yang Ming said with a smile.

The earliest backer of the Shen family is Yuan Wendu's father Yuan Xiaoze, so he has always had a very good relationship with the Yuan family.

Every year, the Shen family only gives gifts to two people in Jingshi, one is Yang Ming and the other is Yuan Wendu.

After the Shen family left, Yang Ming called Xuan Gan again.

Yang Ming took the list of scholars, found the list of people reported by Jiangling County this year, and then drew two circles on the names of Shen Tong and Shen Shu.

Xuan Gan understood at a glance: "His Royal Highness is really kind to the Shen family." ”

Yang Yinjiang frowned on the side and said, "What? Envious? ”

"What do you mean by that? Can I envy them? Xuan Gan rolled his eyes and said, "You can also mock me every day." ”

Yang Yinjiang suddenly snorted coldly: "Let you look at Dian Yinghui, what do you think?" He even met the head of the eldest grandson's family, and went to Jinyang Tower, do you know? ”

"You know, what's this?" Yang Xuan said: "When Ying went back to see the eldest grandson Anmin, it was all given to him, as for Jinyang Building, that is, the young man was curious, and he drank some wine, so it didn't matter." ”

"He hasn't returned to the palace until now, you go and bring someone back for me," Yang Yinjiang said.

At this time, Yang Xuangan found that Yang Ming gave him a look, and immediately understood, and said:

"I'm still busy presiding over scientific expeditions, how can I have this time?"

Yang Ming immediately said: "State affairs are important, you hurry up, don't make mistakes." ”

Yang Xuangan took the opportunity to slip away.

His son played outside for a few days, Yang Ming didn't care, he often went to the city to play when he was a child, which was normal, and he always held Yang Rui in the palace, which was not good for his growth.

Boys, they have to be free-range.
