"The age limit for the imperial examination is thirty-five years old! Children are limited to 20 years old! ”

As soon as this news came out, it immediately spread throughout the entire Great Song Dynasty at the fastest speed.

"It's just a cut off my future!"

Countless scholars were in an uproar when they heard the news, and they were indignant.

Without him, in the original Great Song Imperial Examination! Many candidates can take the imperial examination for the rest of their lives, even if they don't pass the exam, there will be the next exam, which gives many candidates hope, and even gives them an excuse to escape from themselves.

And now the imperial court has limited the qualifications of children to 20 years old, and the imperial examination to 35 years old, which has suddenly blocked the road of the imperial examination for older scholars, how can this not make them angry in their hearts.

"The imperial examination system has been running for hundreds of years and has never changed, so why did the imperial examination suddenly change this time, could it be that the new party is changing the law again?" Everyone couldn't help but wonder.

"Nope! At the beginning, Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal and Wang Anshi's reform did not dare to change the imperial examination system, and Zhang Dian implemented the new law, how could he dare to change the imperial examination? One of them snorted coldly.

"In my opinion, this must be the evil doctor Fan Zheng and another evil prescription?" Someone was skeptical.

The older people were furious, and this party was quite in the style of an evil doctor, so they couldn't help but doubt it.

Soon, more news came, and the specific reason also came quietly.

"This is because Lu Xianggong wants to promote education for all, and he wants to let the older people go to Sanjing as a master!" Those who were well-informed quickly found the culprit.

Everyone was stunned, and no one thought that Lu Dafang, the leader of the old party who was the most stubborn and most opposed to changing the law, was the most stubborn and opposed to changing the law, and the only reason why Lu Dafang did this was to promote national education and educate the merits of the people.

"It's good that he is Lu Dafang, for the sake of his own merits, he wants to ruin the future of our wait, and he will definitely fight with him!"

A large number of people stayed in Kaifeng City as masters, just to prepare for the imperial examination, and now half of them have been cut off from their future, how can they be willing, at the moment, they are clamoring for unity, ready to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to seek justice.

"Fan Zheng used evil recipes to harm me!"

When Lu Dafang heard the news, he was immediately shocked, he didn't expect that he had mistakenly believed in Fan Zheng's evil recipe, and he was actually pointed out by Wanfu, even if he returned to the throne as the prime minister, he would not dare to offend so many people.

"Lu Xianggong, hurry up and release the news of Enke! Let Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the country, come forward to appease these people. Yang Wei hurriedly reminded.

"Yes!"

Lu Dafang nodded hurriedly, although Fan Zheng came up with an evil prescription, he also prescribed a remedy, that is, Enke!

"The imperial court changed the law of the imperial examination, not to cut off your future, the imperial examination has been changed from once every three years to once a year! There is no need for you to waste your life's time on the imperial examination. In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dr. Zhang Yong of Guozijian stopped a group of indignant people.

Hearing Zhang Yong's explanation, the originally excited Juren slowly quieted down, and carefully calculated in his heart, the original imperial examination was once every three years, even if the imperial examination was twenty years old, it was only an opportunity to take the imperial examination thirteen times at the age of sixty, and at the same time, many old people wasted a lot of youth, but now it has been changed to once a year, fifteen years is fifteen imperial examinations, the number of times is a little more, and there is no need to waste a lifetime of time.

"It's a good deal!"

Many young people were very moved.

The disadvantages of the imperial examination that make people waste their youth are not undiscovered, but no one is willing to give up the opportunity to become an official and enter the office, and now the age limit for the imperial examination is 35 years old, which is not without benefits for the people.

"Then I'm already over thirty-five years old, what should I do?" Many gray-haired people were very dissatisfied.

Dr. Zhang Yonglang said: "Lu Xianggong specially applied to the official family for Enke! People over 50 can take the enke again, and those over the age of 40 can take the enke twice! Lifters over the age of 35 can go to Coenko three more times! ”

A group of older lifters have calmed down, and their older lifters have not been able to take the test many times, according to the closest thirty-five-year-old lifter, according to the three years, and then three more exams, it will take about nine years before, that is also a full forty-four years old, and there are not too many regrets.

"Then we'll ............." There are also thirty-three and thirty-four-year-old people who are dissatisfied! In this way, they have suffered a little bit and want some preferential treatment.

Zhang Yong shook his head firmly and said: "The imperial court's Enke is only three years, and within three years, you can participate in the imperial examination, and after three years, all of them must be according to the limit of thirty-five years old." ”

Many of them suddenly regretted it.

"If you still don't pass the exam by then, you can come to Guozijian to find an old man, and you can take charge of a academy in your hometown or nearby, and cultivate more talents for the imperial court in the future, so as to make up for your regrets in the imperial examination." Zhang Yonglang said.

"If you are admitted to the court, you can still be in charge of a academy if you can't be admitted, which makes the resentment of the people gradually subside, and they begin to think about Enke.

Zhang Yong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this,

The reason why Zhang Yong cooperated with Lu Dafang to appease the students was because the colleges of national education were all under the jurisdiction of Guozijian, and this year they would pull people over 50 years old into the academy, and next year there would be people over 40 years old to join, and three years later, every year, a steady stream of people and talents would come to the academy to serve as masters, and there would be no obstacles to education for all.

Once all the cities in the world realize compulsory education in the whole city, and the rights of the Guozijian are all over the Great Song Dynasty, the status of the Guozijian will be increased in a straight line.

"Guozijian may not be able to become a part of the court in the future!" Looking at the crowd of people who gradually subsided, Zhang Yong couldn't help but be excited in his heart.

In the middle of the court, everyone knows the news that the doctor is determined to become the seventh department of the imperial court, and in fact, the doctor is indeed working towards this aspect.

And the status of Guozijian, who was originally above the Taiyi Department, was extremely embarrassing, watching the doctor grow stronger day by day, Guozijian, as the highest institution of learning in the Great Song Dynasty, could only be self-contained, and even when he was studying the oracle bone inscription, he still had to ask the Taiyi Department.

Now the city's compulsory education and even the national compulsory education plan in the future has finally made the Guozijian proud and found the way to prosperity.

………………

"Qi Lu Xianggong, all the people have already retreated, and they have all begun to prepare for Enke's affairs!"

In the prime minister's house, Yang Wei came to report happily.

Lu Dafang breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment he personally experienced the stimulation of Fan Zheng's evil side, and the effect was indeed immediate, but the process was equally thrilling!

"My lord knows that Fan Zheng and Evil will offend the world, why do you still use it?" Yang Wei was a little puzzled.

Anyone knows that even if there is a three-year buffer period, the people who fail to be admitted to the meritorious service in the future are still dissatisfied with Lu Dafang, who proposed this party, this kind of thing is simply thankless.

Lu Dafang shook his head and said, "Three years is enough!" Because Lu's position as prime minister won't last long! ”

"Ahh

Yang Wei was suddenly shocked, Lu Dafang was the leader of the old party, once Lu Dafang lost the position of prime minister, the old party may immediately fall back into the downwind.

Lu Dafang shook his head and said: "What's so strange about this, Lu has been the prime minister for four years, and the official family has not moved the position of the old man, which is already extraordinarily tolerant." In addition, the old man is already old and weak, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to be qualified for the position of prime minister. ”

The prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty are generally changed by looking at the flowers, and Lu Dafang's position as prime minister for four years is already extremely rare, and the official family has already returned Lu Dafang's work from the dragon.

"Therefore, the adults are ready to complete the great cause of compulsory education in the city in the last period of their tenure as prime minister." Yang Wei nodded slightly.

Lu Dafang nodded and said: "Yes, it's a pity that the old man is not as good as Fan Chunren's life, and he picked up a good errand and is responsible for the treatment of the retirement of hundreds of officials. ”

Among the old ministers in the Yuan You period, Fan Chunren has already retired, Su Zhe has been squeezed out by the old and new parties, and he has been in the position of prime minister for four years, and it is time for a generation of new people to replace the old.

"I don't know, after the adults go, who will be able to take up the responsibility of the old party!" Yang Wei looked at Lu Dafang with a look of hope.

Lu Dafang looked at Yang Wei, but shook his head.

He naturally knew Yang Wei's thoughts, but Yang Wei did not have much merit, and he was unable to take on the great cause of the old party.

Lu Dafang said solemnly: "The old man is ready to recommend Fan Chunli, the prefect of Kaifeng, to enter the court!" ”

"Fan Chunli!" Yang Wei couldn't help but exclaim.

He didn't expect Lu Dafang to let Fan Chunli serve as the leader of the old party, didn't he know that Fan Chunli and Fan were father and son? They have always treated Fan Chunli as a medical party.

Lu Dafang shook his head and said, "No! Fan Chunli is Fan Chunli, Fan is Fan Zheng! Although Fan Chunli has appointed a lot of positive and evil parties in these years, the old man and Fan Chunli have been friends for many years, and they know that Fan Chunli is still a fellow believer in the old party. ”

"But ..................." Yang Wei said anxiously.

"Benxiang naturally knows that Fan Chunli and Fan Zheng are father and son, but Fan Chunli enters the court, and he can suppress Fan Zheng with filial piety, not to mention, even if there is no recommendation from Benxiang, can you prevent Fan Chunli from entering the court?" Lu Dafang asked rhetorically.

Yang Wei was silent for a moment,

Today's Fan Chunli is the most dazzling minister in the court, who uncovered the scandal of the marriage of close relatives for his son, and finally let him leave the court!

At that time, everyone thought that this must be the beginning of Fan Chunli's life's frustration, but they didn't expect that this would be the beginning of Fan Chunli's glory.

After being denounced to Bozhou, Fan Chunli and Fan Zheng and his son joined forces, one became a forensic doctor, so that the medicinal materials needed by the doctor increased sharply, and the other was to support the medicinal material industry in Bozhou, Huatuo's hometown, and made Bozhou a new pharmaceutical capital, and Bozhou's taxes doubled in a short period of time, becoming the prefect of the Great Song Dynasty.

Fan Chunli was promoted to the prefect of Kaifeng because of his merits, and then under the promotion of Fan Zheng, he continued to implement the law of the medical city and promoted compulsory education in Kaifeng City.

And now the compulsory education in the whole city implemented by Lu Dafang is an enlarged version of the evil prescription that Fan Zheng originally prescribed for Fan Chunli.

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng has always been famous for his evil formula, I don't know what an adult will think when he sees this evil prescription." Yang Wei smiled bitterly.

……………………

Just when the country's talents were stepping up preparations for Enke, Lu Dafang, who had achieved fame, asked the official family to resign for physical reasons!

"Lu Xianggong is going to leave me?"

In the political hall, Zhao Xu couldn't help but be shocked.

For this result, Zhao Xu can be said to be mixed, the good thing is that Lu Dafang is a heavy minister of Yuan You, the three prime ministers at that time have gone to two, and now only Lu Dafang is left, and now Lu Dafang is resigned, and there is no one more important minister during the Empress Dowager Gao.

What made Zhao Xu hesitate was that Lu Dafang was the main official who supported his pro-government at the beginning, and once Lu Dafang resigned, I am afraid that the government and the opposition would criticize him for treating the heroes harshly.

Lu Dafang trembled and said: "The old minister is over seventy years old, I'm afraid time is short, if in his lifetime, he can see that all the people in the world are subject to the way of the saint, and he will die without regrets." ”

He is over 70 years old, he had all the geriatric diseases of the Empress Dowager Gao, and after a doctor's examination, he has already been riddled with diseases, and now his greatest wish is to be able to enjoy the work of educating all the people.

Zhao Xu understood that Lu Dafang sincerely wanted to resign, so he was slightly relieved: "I don't know who can take the position of prime minister after the prime minister leaves." ”

Lu Dafang bowed down and said: "Master Su is always burden-bearing and fair, and he is the best candidate for the position of prime minister." ”

Zhang Dian suddenly bit his gums and said, "Old thing, when you leave, you have to stumble on me." ”

Zhang Xuan understood that Zhao Xu had always been ambitious, and once Lu Dafang abdicated, he could naturally become the prime minister and start a new round of law reform, but now it was all disturbed by Lu Dafang.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, according to his prestige and qualifications, Su Song is indeed the best candidate, and more importantly, Su Song can calm the struggle between the new party and the old party, so he is the best candidate.

On the contrary, Lu Dafang didn't seem to see Zhang Dan's gaze, and continued: "Master Su is the prime minister, and his position as the right minister of Shangshu is vacant, and it is most suitable for the old minister to recommend Fan Chunli, the prefect of Kaifeng. ”

"Fan Chunli!"

In an instant, except for Yang Wei, everyone looked at Lu Dafang in disbelief.

Lu Dafang's recommendation of Fan Chunli as Shangshu Youcheng was even more shocking to the officials than the promotion of Su Song as the prime minister, after all, the old party was extremely displeased with Fan Zheng, who was chaotic and evil, and now he actually recommended Fan Chunli, the father of Fan Zheng, as Shangshu Youcheng. How can you not shock the hundred officials.

However, after thinking about it carefully, the hundred officials found that Fan Chunli, who was in the limelight, was indeed the most suitable candidate for Shang Shuyoucheng, and the person recommended by Lu Dafang did not have any selfish intentions.

It's just that Fan Zheng frowned and smiled bitterly, he thought that the positive side, all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty thought that it was an evil party, and now all the officials thought that Lu Dafang was selfless, but for him, it was an out-and-out evil party.

Once his father serves as the right man of Shangshu, then a situation of father and son will be in the same dynasty, and he may not have many good days in the court. (End of chapter)
