The Son of Heaven couldn't bear to leave the great sages, and the edict was widely accepted in Ye Xiancai, and it spread all over Yecheng for a time. It caused quite a stir.

Not only the poor and the common people, but even the family was shocked by this.

In ancient times, it was the local government to recommend talents, although most of them recruited some family children, but they also asked for virtue first, and then asked for talent.

Otherwise, why did Xie An raise hope in the first place?

Have enough fame to be sought after and respected by the world, so that the world knows about you.

With enough fame to come out of the mountain, you can overwhelm many competitors at once.

In this way, when Xie An came out of the mountain as an official, he was naturally unstoppable, he had enough fame, and he was in a high position when he came out of the mountain, so naturally there would be no unnecessary gossip about whether he was worthy of this position.

Because the remarks that he was a "great sage" had spread before, then in the eyes of those ordinary people, it was natural for Xie An to be so talented and in a high position.

So if you look at the Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin dynasties, it is understandable that those who entered the government must first have a certain reputation.

The name is too big, and people don't dare to look down on you.

On the contrary, if your name is too small and no one has heard of it, then the other party will naturally despise you and think that you are a mediocre talent.

Then the reason why there were so many "suave" celebrities at that time can also be figured out.

To succeed, you must first pretend to be a good hand.

This is not so much "virtue" as a "potential".

You have cultivated a certain reputation, so that a wide range of people know your name, then others have to consider you when recommending talents, even if you are a real celebrity, fake hermits, he has to care about the rumors outside and recommend you.

With virtue, there is a stepping stone to enter the career, as long as there is talent, then it will be a smooth career.

In the past, this was a necessary step for the children of the family to enter the ranks.

The family has such a platform that can make its children famous, and there are no such hardcore conditions in the cold family.

The background is not hard enough, what should I do? They often have to wait until they become a generation of Confucians with great prestige.

At this time, don't talk about the children of the family, even the imperial court will give you three points of face.

But how many people can endure loneliness, Taoguang has been in obscurity for so long, and wasted time?

Without a family behind you, it will be extremely difficult to step into the office.

As has been said before, the Maison is the allocator of most of the political resources. If you want to have a chance to advance, you have to see if the powerful families appreciate you.

But now it's different, a completely different way to advance is in front of them, that is, the examination!

You don't have to have too much fame, you don't have to rely on the powerful of the family, put your talent in the first place, and whoever has talent can get the opportunity to rise to the top!

This is a godsend, and how could they afford to miss it?

The impoverished scholars seemed to have regained their vitality at once, and they returned to the inn in a hurry, and poured all the money in their money bags in front of the stunned shopkeeper.

"We're going to keep going! Don't bother us if you have nothing to do in the past half a month, just send the food, and you don't have to worry about the rest! ”

They didn't want to think about anything now, they just rushed back to the room and took out those precious manuscripts to review. After a few words, he left, leaving only the young and arrogant backs.

The shopkeeper felt that these people went out to see the list once, and the whole person was different.

It's even more awesome than before I came!

On the other hand, the face of the family is a little unsightly, in their opinion, this is a game-breaking game.

They also had the children of the cabinet and had the power to refute the edict, which could have prevented it from being issued.

When the cabinet was discussing the "vote", it was able to overwhelm Zhao Yanshen and Gao Rui, and finally forcibly refuted the edict.

However, the attitude of the present side is extremely tough, and three times in a row, the original edict was issued as it is, and if you dare to stop it, you have to consider the consequences, and the family forces in the cabinet can only reluctantly submit.

Fortunately, the scope of the examination is only limited to Yecheng, and His Majesty also said in the edict that the Hanmen and the sons of the family will take separate examinations, and the sons of the family account for seventy percent of the admission places, while the children of the Hanmen only account for three percent.

Hanmen still can't ride on their heads.

Thinking about it this way, they made a decision in an instant, and hurriedly wrote a letter to the family, explaining the matter to the family, and asking the family to quickly send the children hidden in the family to Yecheng to Dabi. Your Majesty said that the examination will start in half a month!

In the past, you could be awarded an official position as long as you used your lips, but after today, I am afraid it will never be the same.

Now I have opened this opening, I am afraid that the family will also win fame in the pen in the future!

This time, the number of families and poor families is fixed, their competitors are not only cold families, they can't control the cold families, besides, Your Majesty will distinguish the cold families from the examination, so that their main opponents are no longer the cold families, there are other families!

Although the family is in the same spirit, there is also a lot of competition, and if you miss this opportunity, you will have to break the head to grab this place!

"Hmph, whether it's an examination or not, let you see, the family will always be a family, and the poor will always be the poor, our family has so many inheritances, and there will never be a shortage of talents!"

Here, the poor family began to prepare for a big battle. In the Taiji Hall over there, Gao Wei got the news that Xu Ling, the envoy of the Southern Dynasty, was going to arrive in Yecheng in five days.

Although Goguryeo, Khitan, and Turkic envoys will also arrive soon, in the eyes of Gao Wei, they are just foils for Nan Chen. They are not that important.

But if he intends to reap more benefits from Nan Chen.

In the eyes of the Northern Qi government and the opposition, these envoys who could not be put on the table would play a very important role.

In fact, he already knew the content of the Southern Dynasty's national letter, and he was not surprised by Nan Chen's attitude.

Among the Three Kingdoms, Nan Chen is indeed weaker, especially when the Northern Zhou Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful, how can Nan Chen not be worried? Eager to release the past suspicions with the Northern Qi, the alliance with the Northern Qi was also a means for the Southern Chen to contain the development of the Northern Zhou.

The Southern Dynasty aimed at the powerful military power of the Northern Qi Dynasty, so why didn't Gao Wei take a fancy to the abundant materials of the Southern Chen?

If Nan Chen really had such a firm idea of joining forces, then presumably if Gao Wei asked them to borrow food, they would not refuse, right?

What's more, Cushman & Wakefield prepared a big cake for Nan Chen.

It should be possible to pry out the materials he wants from Nan Chen's mouth!

Gao Wei thought for a while, and said to the Honglu Temple Qing below: "In a few days, the envoys will arrive in Yecheng one after another, do you know what to do?" ”

Honglu Siqing also pondered for a while, and said, "According to the practice of previous years, greeting?"

Gao Wei rolled his eyes, the way Northern Qi received the so-called "distinguished guests" has always been simple and rude, let alone receiving envoys from countries who have enemies with Northern Qi. The so-called convention is definitely a feud!

It's really strange, whether it is Turkic, Khitan, Goguryeo, or Southern Chen, they all fought against Northern Qi.

"No," Cushman said, "I mean that you must receive the envoys ceremoniously when they arrive, and the envoys of the Southern Dynasty must be especially grand, and you must make them feel at home, understand?" ”

"Huh?" Honglu Siqing was dumbfounded, Your Majesty is afraid that he didn't get the wrong script, the Southern Dynasties and Turks are okay to say, like Khitan and Goguryeo, when did the Northern Qi care about them?

[The perception of this product is too bad! 】

Gao Wei frowned slightly and said:

"Anyway, you just do it!"

"Minister, obey!"
