"Four months later, four months later!"

Ma Zhou's lips trembled, and he hurriedly wrote this time, as well as the specific time calculated, on the wall next to his sleep.

Four months....

From Datang to Dayan, the journey is far away.

Time, it's already of the essence.

Ma Zhou kept thinking.

He didn't know how he got back to bed, his mind was full of it.

Tonight, instead of reading, he lay on the bed covered with a quilt and stared at the roof with stunned eyes.

Before you know it, the candlelight is blown out.

A large number of snoring sounded around, one after another, but there was still no sleepiness at all.

He was still thinking, himself, should he go?

Imperial examination!

This is a imperial examination!

However, the imperial examination is in Dayan, and Dayan, whether it is land or population, is far inferior to Datang, will it suffer if you go?

And, isn't it a little far?

If you're going to participate, you're going to leave recently.

At this moment, there are many people in Chang'an who are thinking about this matter.

It's not just Ma Zhouren.

This night, Ma Zhou kept his eyes open until dawn.

Today, he directly asked for a leave of absence, and he was going to find a few other companions and tell them about it.

However, Ma Zhou did not expect that some of them also received similar letters.

All of a sudden, everyone also completely understood that the matter of the Great Yan Imperial Examination was true.

And with word of mouth, it soon spread throughout most of Chang'an City.

The news spread so quickly that it was frightening.

There's no way, who called this news is too explosive.

And from the beginning, many scholars have stepped on the official road in the north.

Go to the Great Flame!

The imperial examination, this is the only goal of many scholars.

It is also the only belief that supports the reader to keep reading.

Datang has no hope for a long time, and now that Dayan has opened the imperial examination, this opportunity is precious to these poor scholars who have studied for almost a lifetime.

Most people, don't want to miss out.

It is difficult for a poor reader.

In this world, reading seems to have become the exclusive domain of the rich, plus there is no imperial examination, books are expensive and difficult to buy, or even none at all, all in the hands of the family.

No matter how you look at it, reading is not that you don't want to read for the poor people, but it's almost a burden.

These poor scholars can always support themselves, and each of them is a person with ideals and persistence.

Now that the Northern Great Yan had a chance, they walked towards the north without hesitation.

Ma Zhou walked at night.

After packing his bags and getting paid, he went to Dayan with a group of like-minded friends.

….….….….….….

Housing.

Fang Xuanling was reading a book.

Du Ruhui hurriedly walked in.

His face was extremely serious, and his expression was a little anxious.

"Xuan Ling, Xuan Ling, something has happened, something has happened!"

Du Ruhui walked directly in front of Fang Xuanling with an anxious face, reached out and snatched the book in Fang Xuanling's hand.

Fang Xuanling was stunned.

He was seeing the highlights, and was suddenly interrupted, and was about to get angry, but when he saw that it was Du Ruhui, he looked anxious, so he swallowed what he wanted to say into his stomach.

In his memory, this is still relatively rare for him to see Du Ruhui so anxious.

"Keming, what's going on?"

Fang Xuanling asked very seriously.

"Great Flame! It's Dayan, they're coming to our Datang to rob people again, and what's even more excessive is that this time it's the scholars who are robbing...."

"Great Yan, damn Great Yan Country! This is to treat our Datang as a wronged leader, and frantically dig the roots of our Datang! ”

Du Ruhui put a letter in front of Fang Xuanling.

This letter was given to him by one of his protégés.

Fang Xuanling looked at it.

Du Ruhui took a deep breath again and said slowly: "In the past few days, I feel that the atmosphere in Chang'an is a little wrong. ”

"Many private schools have stopped, and every day in front of Mingdemen, there are many young talents leaving Chang'an, and this is only in Chang'an, Luoyang, Lin'an, etc.

"It's too scary, it is estimated that a lot of people have left, if I Datang sits idly by, Da Yan this time, I don't know how many of my Datang sons and daughters will be attracted to the country."

Du Ruhui said, his voice extremely depressed.

It was as if something was blocking his mind.

It's very uncomfortable.

I want to vomit, but I can't.

Fang Xuanling's brows furrowed, he slowly put down the letter in his hand, his face was solemn, a little incredulous.

"Xuan Ling, what do you think we should do?"

Du Ruhui hurriedly asked.

He actually has some ideas to deal with, but in Du Ruhui's thoughts, Fang Xuanling, as Fang Mou, must be better than him if he thinks of a way.

Fang Xuanling sighed and looked up at Du Ruhui: "What else can I do about this matter?" They scholars want to leave, so they can't tie up all the hands and feet of the poor scholars, right? ”

"Da Yan's move, it's amazing, it's really powerful....this Da Yan monarch's action power almost far surpasses our Datang."

"I just took Liaodong City and expanded my territory, so I directly opened the imperial examination to attract talents, but I did this in wartime..."

"Every step of Da Yan's step, step by step, is extremely fast, making people always think that they are going to collapse in the next moment, but they are always extremely steady."

"No, let's go, enter the palace, this matter must be told to Your Majesty, let's discuss how to deal with it together."

Fang Xuanling scratched his head irritably, got up suddenly, and hurriedly walked out.

Du Ruhui followed.

He also knew that there was really nothing they could do about it.

As Fang Xuanling said, do you want to tie up and lock up these poor scholars?

No way!

It's someone's choice.

To tell the truth, if you are a poor scholar, young and vigorous, and think that you have nowhere to display your talents, other countries will have opportunities, and there is a high probability that they will also go to Dayanbo to fight.

If you don't go to Dayan, is it possible....do you still stay in Datang and become the object of ridicule by the clan gatekeepers? Could it be that he stayed in Datang and just looked at himself without a chance, and finally died with endless regret and anger?

Call....

Du Ruhui exhaled vigorously.

In his heart, he was really uncomfortable.

He felt aggrieved!

On the way, both of them also saw many young people carrying burdens, walking out of the city in groups of threes and threes.

You don't have to think about it to know that these are definitely going to Dayan.

.

….…….….….….

Imperial.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin is handling government affairs.

"Your Majesty.!"

At this time, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui walked in together.

Li Shimin slowly raised his head.

Looking at the two of them.

"Xuan Ling, Keming, what's wrong?"

Li Shimin said softly.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the Great Yan Kingdom has started to rob people again, and the people who robbed this time are not ordinary people, but people from poor families, all of whom are talents from my Datang Dynasty."

"Da Yan opened the imperial examination, and now, many of them are going to Da Yan, Your Majesty, we must think of a way, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."

Fang Xuanling hurriedly said this matter again.

Li Shimin, who was already a little gloomy, frowned suddenly, and his two eyebrows stood upside down, extremely angry.

Boom!

He threw the inkstone on the table to the ground.

Asunder.

"Great Flame, Great Flame!! It's the Great Flame again!! ”

"Yang Kuan, how can he be so excessive!"

Li Shimin roared and became furious.

"What does Yang Kuan think of my Datang? As his Great Yan's reserve army? Damn, don't you really think I wouldn't dare to send troops to attack them! ”

Li Shimin was really angry.

During this time, he was in a bad mood.

Right now.

It turned out that such a thing happened again, which made Li Shimin even more crazy.

During the locust plague in Youzhou, so many people in Youzhou went to Dayan.

At that time, he couldn't say anything.

After all, in the end, he was derelict in his duties and did not take a good look at the mistakes of local officials.

And if those people don't flee, they will starve to death.

But now, these readers, don't they have any attachment to Datang in their hearts?

Li Shimin couldn't understand Datang.

Datang....Isn't it good for them?

They have lived in Datang for half their lives, but now Da Yan just opened a imperial examination, so they directly abandoned Da Tang and ran to Da Yan.

"White-eyed wolf!"

"This group of people are all white-eyed wolves! I'm angry! ”

"Why are they so unfocused? Am I bad for them? Damn it!! ”

Li Shimin was furious.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other and did not speak.

Datang, is it good for poor readers?

The answer is obvious.

If it's really good, will those poor scholars leave? Will you leave your homeland?

No, it won't.

Yes, for sure.

If they can make such a choice, then there is only one reason, the court has completely disappointed them.

The whole world, the entire court, is controlled by the clan gatekeeper.

Poor scholars don't see any hope at all.

There was no Great Yan before, it was the same everywhere, and outside countries such as Turkic Tubo were not as good as the Tang Dynasty, and the poor scholars couldn't choose at all.

But now, the Great Yan Empire has emerged.

And there are also imperial examinations.

Many poor scholars immediately know which country to choose.

It's not a question of loyalty or disloyalty, it's just a matter of one's dignity and ideals.

If Datang can give more scholars from poor families, not to mention more, it only needs a little opportunity, at least let them see a little bit of light in the dark night.

If Datang could do this, there would not be so many scholars, who didn't even think about it, and went to Dayan.

The gate valve of the world clan really blocked the road to the rise of the poor scholars.

It is Datang, and it has not considered the interests of the people at all.

No matter what it is, it is to suffer the people first.

The interests of all parties are all considered and transferred to the family gate valve first.

How can the people be loyal to you?

"Your Majesty, now it can be said that it is urgent, we Datang, if we don't deal with it, I'm afraid that a group of people from the poor family will have to leave."

"When the time comes, my Datang talents will decrease, talents will wither, and the sense of oppression of the world's clan gate valves will be increased again, so....Datang, the imperial court, should really let the clan gate valve play with."

"From now on, they will only become more unscrupulous, because the people who threaten them have disappeared a lot."

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.

Du Ruhui also opened his mouth to echo: "That's right, Your Majesty, if the Hanmen scholars are gone, we want to clean up the world, and there is no way." ”

"It's just that in terms of capable people, except for the children of the clan, there are not many people available in Datang."

Li Shimin is a little decadent.

Listening to the words of the two, he only felt powerless and full of helplessness.

If he deserves to be the emperor, if he had known this, he might as well give it to Li Jiancheng.

"Then Xuanling Keming, what do you say to do?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

There was a moment of silence in the Tai Chi Palace.

Subsequently.

Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, open the imperial examination!" In addition, send a message to the northern border, let many northern generals, strengthen the border blockade, and not let too many poor scholars flow to the north! ”

Du Ruhui nodded, and also spoke: "The minister seconded the proposal!" Your Majesty, the most important thing in this matter is to open the imperial examination, and we also want to give a little hope to those poor scholars. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he hesitated.

Fang Xuanling immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, don't hesitate, the road to the rise of Great Yan has begun, if we don't make any moves like this, in a few years, the situation in the world will really change." ”

"Now only by opening the imperial examination and recruiting talents from all over the world can my Datang flourish."

"But...," Li Shimin hesitated: "The clan is too powerful, they....won't agree." ”

Fang Xuanling said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you have to do it first, in the current situation, if you don't do it, we will always have to sit still." ”

Li Shimin was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He pondered for a long time, then finally waved his hand.

"Xuanling Keming, you....let me be here, think about it...."

The opening of the imperial examination, after all, was a war between the front and the clan, and the fall of the former Sui was still vivid, and he had to be cautious.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were anxious, but there was no way at all.

You can only retire.

Li Shimin sat alone in the Taiji Palace.

His gaze was gloomy.

Breathing, becoming rapid.

After a long time, Li Shimin slowly turned his gaze to the north.

"The Turks....the hatred of the Turks, I have not yet taken revenge."

"Now, there is a great flame again, hehe....Yang Kuan, Yang Kuan, why do you have to be embarrassed everywhere? I have no grievances with you, can't you lock up these things yourself? Why did you pass it on to my Datang? ”

"Shi, Shi, Shi....With you here, I always feel like a puppet."

"You are not afraid of me, and you claim to be the master of this world, but why don't you want to think about me? Why don't you think about me? ”

"Why do you have to control me, instead of cooperating with me and controlling the world together? If you cooperate with me, I will not remain hostile to you. ”

Li Shimin was depressed, extremely depressed.

His breathing was a little hard.

He looked forward to working with the Clan.

He didn't want to be an enemy of the world. ，

But now ....

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to work.

The imperial examination must be opened.

Otherwise, Datang really has the meaning of slow death, and even the danger of annihilation.

"O Great Yan Monarch, you are truly a supreme master."

"I....I've been forced by you, and there's nothing I can do."

"Before, you snatched my daughter Changle, and now I have to go to war with the clan because of you, I don't know whether to hate you or thank you."

"The Imperial Examination....Good! If you want to get it, my Datang will naturally have to get it!! ”

At this moment, Li Shimin has already made up his mind.

.

….….…….….….

Pei Fu.

As for the fact that the scholars in Chang'an City left the Tang Dynasty, Pei Lian, as the head of the Pei Mansion, naturally already knew about it.

And his disciples are now gathered by many people of the world, all of whom have come for this matter.

And after their discussion, they agreed that this is a good thing.

The people who go are basically poor scholars.

And the more these people go, the easier it will be for their clan to control the entire court and public opinion in the world.

How, isn't it a good thing?

.

…….….….….….

Early the next morning.

Today's morning dynasty seems to be no different from the past, it is carried out in an orderly manner, and then reports some irrelevant trivial matters in the world.

The reason why it looks like it is because the officials of the imperial court feel a dullness that is suppressed in the air.

It is from the Li Tang royal family.

Led by the eldest grandson Wuji and others, they were too quiet in the morning today, so quiet that they didn't even squeak.

This is in the past.

It's completely impossible.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Combined with the recent exodus of scholars from poor families, it seems that....today is going to talk about this matter in a big way.

Most of the family officials, their eyes twinkled, and they all felt that this seemed to be the calm before the storm.

Finally.

After another family official finished reporting a trivial matter, the eldest grandson Wuji walked out.

Here it comes!

He's coming!

What is he going to say? What's the big deal? Is it really a matter of reading?

Most of the family officials were stunned in their hearts, staring at the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji has completely become the focus, and all the officials who report on the trivial matters of the world today are not as many as they look at the eldest grandson Wuji.

At this moment.

The eldest grandson Wuji held the wat board in his hand and bowed lightly to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, now that the plague of the locust plague in Youzhou has almost been eliminated, our relief food has also been delivered to the people in need."

"The threat of the locust plague in Youzhou has been removed, which is a blessing for the world."

"And there is no war outside my Datang, and there are no natural or man-made disasters inside, so naturally....it will be time....it's time to open the imperial examination!"

"Weichen dared to admonish, the imperial court should open the imperial examination at this time, welcome all the talents of the world to the imperial court, and my Tang Dynasty national fortune will also be completely continuous and inherit the foundation of eternity!"

Eldest Sun Wuji was a little excited when he said it, and his face was extremely flushed.

As soon as the words of the imperial examination came out, Pei Lin and other officials of the clan were stunned in place.

They thought that Li Shimin would tell and find a way because of the departure of the poor scholars, but they never expected to hear the word imperial examination.

Now.

They haven't waited for them to come to their senses yet.

Du Ruhui was directly listed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the eldest grandson is extremely right."

"My Datang is now a disaster victim, except for natural disasters, if the imperial examination is held at this time, it will definitely make the people of the world completely return to their hearts!"

"Minister, like the eldest grandson, I beg Your Majesty to open the imperial examination!"

His voice was resolute, and even louder.

Forthwith.

Li Jing also came out with a wat board in his hand, and his voice was high: "Your Majesty, minister, I also think that when it is time to open the imperial examination, the students of the world are full of blood in their chests, but they have nowhere to serve the imperial court." ”

"The imperial court, should give them a place where they can show themselves, the imperial examination, the most ingenious! Also....it is most suitable!! ”

The voices of the three people fell, and the hall, which was originally too calm today, was extremely quiet in an instant, as if it was dead silence.

Pei Lian, Gao Shilian, Chen Shuda and others all widened their eyes.

Whether it is a prince or an official, the breath seems to have disappeared all at once.

Unbelievable!

Fantastic!

Li Jing and these people must represent Li Shimin's meaning at this moment, saying that it is the opening of the imperial examination, is it really fake?

They all thought they had heard it wrong.

At this moment.

No one thought that in today's morning court, there would be such an unprecedented event!

As early as when they felt that the atmosphere of the early dynasty was dull, the officials of the family, they had guessed that something big was happening, but this....is it too big, right?

Big.... Even bigger than the sky.

Imperial examination?

This is the imperial examination, Li Shimin actually wants to open the imperial examination?

This Li Shimin is going crazy!

The officials of the family present are not stupid to be able to be above this court.

They are well aware.

If it weren't for Li Shimin's nod, the three of them would never come out at the same time, without the slightest hesitation, even if they understood what the other party meant, they would not say it so directly.

Everything is definitely instructed by Li Shimin!

Damn it!

Li Shimin, where did he get his courage?

How long has it been since the previous dynasty?

In this world, do you Li Shimin and your Li Tang royal family still want it?

Who gave you the courage?

But just when the hundred officials were stunned, Li Shimin had already gotten up directly.

"Good!"

"This national policy is very wonderful, and I have it! The eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng, I and I ordered the three of you to work together to do this. ”

"Retreat!"

After saying that, Li Shimin turned around and slipped away.

It's real, cut through the mess quickly, fast! Vicious! Permit!

Lords of Gongon: ????

Lords of Gongon: !!!

In the entire hall of the early dynasty, Yaqi was silent, and the stiff gaze of the hundred officials fell on the back of Li Shimin leaving, and his brain was blank.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui and others did not become relaxed because of Li Shimin's quasi-performance.

On the contrary, it is extremely dignified.

From now on.

These pro-Li faction officials are also real, and they have to draw a line with the family.

What does this mean?

This means that they will really face the family gate valve and face a large number of family officials in the court.

On the one hand, it is in favor of the imperial examination.

On the one hand, they oppose the imperial examination.

They, including His Majesty, will thoroughly carry out this will, and will also carry the expectations of the world's poor students!

This pressure makes people a little suffocating and frightening!

However, they are all clear.

There was a threat of great fire in front of this matter, and they had to hold it, and now that the wood is in the boat, it is imperative!

Since Li Shimin announced his retirement from the dynasty, the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Zheng took the lead in leaving.

They want to immediately post the imperial list and announce that His Majesty will reopen the imperial examination, and they must hurry!

Just like Li Shimin, who announced the imperial examination and then retired from the dynasty, when the family did not react, the matter was completely confirmed.
