"Ahh......h

"The court has an order, idlers avoid it!"

"The court has an order, idlers avoid it!"

Looking down from the sky, dozens of red-clothed and black-armored commanders were heading out of the palace gate to various states and counties in the world, and a few of them were divided into horses and horses to ride their horses to the gates of various squares and cities in the city.

Shangjing City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the most well-informed place in the world, and the first person to know about the slightest rumor is the people in Shangjing, if there is a new policy, it will naturally start from Shangjing, throughout the state and county, since ancient times, it is the same.

At the Los Angeles Gate,

Outside the city gate, the merchants and the people who entered the city have already lined up in a queue, and they are slowly entering the city, looking up and seeing, there are ox carts and carriages full of vegetables, leaves, melons and fruits, all kinds of merchants full of goods are countless, and there is no end in sight at a glance, the merchants from the south to the north are also endless, and the carriages are full of rare things from all over the place, which is the pride of the Qi country, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone can also see a lot.

"This prosperous Shangjing is not weaker than my Qidu ......"

The thin old man sighed at the scene at the city gate, it was hard to imagine that this city had undergone a great change a few months ago.

The thin old man walked unhurriedly in the crowd as if he was looking at the flowers, and he couldn't see any purpose, but just looked at the customs and customs in the capital with great interest.

For the rest of the month,

A white Confucian robe has been washed white, even the sentence worn under his feet has also been damaged, and he began to travel far away after leaving the Qi realm.

The development of Qianguo is really too terrifying, and everyone knows that once a country is strong to a certain extent, it is tantamount to a disaster for the surrounding countries.

Especially when the leader is a fierce beast, it will tear apart everything that stands in the way, and everyone knows the truth of cold lips and teeth, and there is a lesson from Qi Wei's past, so everyone can't believe it.

As for what I have gained in the rest of the month,

It's a few extra pieces of jade in the bag around the waist,

Before I knew it, I was wearing the seal of the four countries,

It seems that you are very close to your goal!

"Selling hot and sour noodle soup, sour and spicy noodle soup. ”

The roadside stall owner shouted hard.

"Guest, let's have a bowl. ”

"A bowl?"

"Have a bowl!"

"Then let's have a bowl. ”

Meng Fuzi looked at the old man's skillful ingredients with great interest, and the movements were done in one go, which was also strange, and it seemed that there was a hot and sour noodle soup in every city in the world.

"Don't hide it from you. ”

"Our Highness also loves to eat this hot and sour noodle soup. ”

"Oh?"

"I can't lie to you. ”

"That's, that's. ”

"I don't like brocade clothes and food, I prefer the noodle soup that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, speaking of which His Royal Highness is not ordinary, but his preferences are different from ordinary people. ”

Meng Fuzi smiled when he heard this.

"That is, our Highness is very different from those people in the past, that one thing, one thing, you can take a few more sips of soju when you take it out. ”

"What's even more rare and commendable is that even with our ordinary people have benefited a lot, not to mention that after returning from the southern expedition, we have more merchants in the capital who come and go from the south to the north, and there are more merchants who settle down to face a mouthful, and each trip home can have dozens of more texts, and buy two more sets of clothes for their granddaughters and grandchildren. ”

"The ruffians and hooligans who ate and drank a few days ago have now disappeared, and the money they earn is their own, which is called a comfortable place, and the life of our people is getting better and better. ”

"The most important thing is!"

"In the past, those businessmen from other countries always relied on their fat body, and their nostrils were facing the sky when they walked.

"Now His Highness has made a name for us, hum!"

"Those people from other countries, when they saw our big cadres, they were not low-minded, they were like angry little daughters-in-law, and there was no one who dared to shout on the street. ”

Speaking of this, the old man subconsciously straightened his waist.

"The old man said so, His Royal Highness has a very good reputation among the people. ”

The thin old man looked at the stall owner who was going down to the pot and asked with a smile, but he didn't know that he had lived for more than a hundred years, but just by looking at his appearance, he was still fifty years old.

"That's it!"

"Your Highness made us people straighten our backs!"

The old man said without thinking,

"Speaking of which, don't you scholars also get benefits, I heard that for example, today's books have reached the price of paper, and those who can't afford to buy books in the past are all piled up and hugged home?"

"If you don't finish your studies, you have to stuff money to be recommended to be an official, and you may have to take out your own savings and send your grandson to a private school for a long time. ”

The old man's voice fell,

The patches of trouble are also healed,

After Meng Fuzi thanked him, he took the steaming noodle soup, and the smile in his eyes turned into worry when he lowered his head, as if this Qianguo was very different from what he imagined.

"The guest officer is patronized, seven cents. ”

"Hey, the guest officer gave too much, or these. ”

"If there is a lot, it will be counted as the old man talking about so much tea money. ”

Meng Fuzi smiled after leaving a piece of silver on the table.

Get up and take a step,

There are still thousands of thoughts in his mind, and his image of Qianguo seems to be still stuck in the time when the Li family is sitting in the world, and it has only been a few days, and even the people in the market have that momentum.

In the future, I don't know what kind of terrifying beast this Qianguo will become?

"It looks like the old man's pace needs to be slowed down......"

Meng Fuzi muttered in a low voice.

"Idlers avoid!"

"Idlers avoid!"

In front of the two soldiers in red clothes and black armor are galloping from the other end of the long street, the equestrian skills are excellent, and they did not collide with passers-by along the way, riding their horses to the city gate neatly turned over and dismounted, one of them brushed the paste in his hand on the wall, and the other person did not leave after posting the list in his hand but silently held a knife and stationed on both sides of the list.

"This military master, what's going on?"

"Isn't it that our Highness has done something earth-shattering?"

Someone in the crowd asked.

"What kind of person is Your Highness?"

"That means that he entered Qidu alone, old man, I believe it!"

An authentic old man with a household registration in Beijing in the crowd trembled and squeezed through the crowd to come up, and before he could see the list clearly, he heard the sound of gags around him, and subconsciously replied.

"Yes and no......"

"There is a new policy issued by the imperial court this time. ”

"But the charter was set by His Highness and Duke Qin!"

The Liangzhou soldiers stationed on the side grinned and explained when they heard the voices of the people.

"Open the imperial examination?"

The gray-haired old pedant didn't know when he got in front of the list, rubbed his glasses, looked at the white paper and black letters on it, and was stunned for a long time.

"The imperial court is going to abolish the probation system?"

The old pedant muttered.

"Imperial examinations, imperial examinations, examination of scriptures, examination of articles?"

"It's going to change!"

As soon as the old pedant's voice fell, the pot exploded.

It's not the people who join in the fun,

Rather, he is a steady literati and writer,

When the word of abolishing the probationary system came out, the old scholar turned around again and saw that behind him was crowded with scholars in long robes and robes, and those people, even fat and strong men were squeezed outside, and one looked at the list with red eyes, and at this moment burst out of power to make everyone look sideways.

"From the "filial piety and power" to the "Guanglu Four Elements" this inspection system has been passed down for more than a thousand years, and now the imperial court is going to abolish it once, I am afraid that the foundation of the country will be damaged!"

The old pedant looked up at the sky, he was a little at a loss, and when he looked closely, his body was trembling, and he always wanted to be valued by officials who were qualified to recommend him after reading books all his life, and even did not hesitate to recognize many godfathers and godfathers.

But now his temples are gray, but his official career is still far away, those godfathers, godfathers and godfathers have a lot of vacancies because of the change of official positions in the imperial court a few days ago, and they have already replied, thinking that it won't take long to mix up an official and a half-job, but now the court has directly opened a big road and cut off those of their own lives.

It was so abrupt that I only felt that there was a stuffy breath in my chest that I couldn't exhale, and there was even a feeling that the sky was spinning inside, my limbs were weak, and the whole person was directly paralyzed.

"Can you really be like this, you can become an official with a test paper?"

A scholar in a Confucian robe also asked in disbelief.

"Are you stupid?"

"Isn't that written one by one?"

"The imperial examination is held once every three years old, and the "students" in various places can refer to it, and it is held every year, the meridian year, the Mao year, and the unitary year, which is the "Xiangyu......";

"It's already black and white,"

"The time for the exams has been set. ”

"Can something that is sure be fake?"

Someone gathered around the list and pointed to the top one by one, and at the same time, there were more and more frightened readers on the surrounding streets, and their breathing became more and more rapid.

Some people are happy and some people are sad,

There was also a boy in a brocade robe who looked at the surrounding scholars and jumped out of the carriage curiously, and when he saw the list clearly, his pupils were dilated, and he couldn't speak with his mouth open.

"Fuck it!"

"In the first step, the book is the price of paper, and in the next step, the imperial examination will be opened. ”

"Our Highness is taking it step by step, according to the character of our Highness, when this matter is raised, I am afraid that I have already grasped the overall situation, and I will definitely not change it. ”

The shopkeeper of the study looked at the list and muttered, and his mind flowed to see the scope of the exam above, and he remembered the books sent this morning.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"What are you doing in a daze?"

"This book has to be bought back even if you are bankrupt!"

"Your Highness, this is a road to heaven for our poor students!"

Someone in the crowd chanted with red necks.

street corner

A reader holding a book, listening to the hustle and bustle in the distance, opened the page of the book, and looked at the note on it, "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book." ”

Silent, with tears falling from the corners of his eyes.

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. ”

Meng Fuzi looked at the content of the list and muttered softly, only to feel that this sentence was echoing in his mind, looking at the direction of the imperial city, his eyes were complicated.

"Heh......"

"I thought that the evaluation of you in my heart had reached a very high position, but I didn't expect that it was still underestimated now......"

Meng Fuzi's fingers hidden in his cuffs trembled slightly.

"Why isn't it ...... me?"

Out of the crowd,

A low sigh dissipated in the wind......

Some thoughts in the thin old man's heart had been firmed, and he walked towards Chunfeng Street, and now he thought that this chess game had to be laid out earlier.

......

Yongle Fang,

Chunfeng Street,

The streets are still crowded with people,

The difference is that there are many more pedestrians walking in a hurry on the streets.

"Master Xie, what are your plans for today?"

Wang Yuanming looked at the bustling scene on the long street and sighed, and after the scholars passing by, he hurriedly ran in the direction of the study, the latter just nodded slightly, only felt that all this was a passing cloud, and the imperial examination rose to the back, and after the prosperity fell, who remembered the thousand-year-old inheritance of his Wang family.

"For now?"

"What can it be?"

"Lord Wang, as Lord Cui said, the king regards his ministers as dirt mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy; in the eyes of His Highness, I am afraid that we are not as good as dirt and grass mustard, how can we still treat them?"

The old man surnamed Xie looked up at the sky and muttered a helpless look, but there were indeed dark waves circulating in the depths of his eyes, and he had already made a choice, but he continued to wait for Wang Yuanming to speak.

"Master Xie, now his surname is Xu. ”

"I'm afraid there is no way back. ”

Wang Yuanming looked at the imperial city in the distance, thinking of Qin Qingtang who was pressing step by step on the top of the main hall, thinking of Master Cui who was killed on the spot, and thinking of the young man who was not alarmed, everything kept flowing in his mind.

"There is no way back for a long time......

"As soon as I arrived in Liangzhou, I released words, I want to sweep the world with my own strength, what kind of atmosphere is this, Your Highness?"

"Just before everyone in the court, don't want to be a dignified Dao gate, how hard is this to say?"

"He's not just talking, he's doing it!"

"The Zhang family has been inherited in Liangzhou for more than 800 years, and the descendants add up to thousands of people who say they will kill them, and the Deng family, the Meng family, and the Liu family in Liangzhou will be killed by more than ten thousand private soldiers, and they are not slaughtered as pigs and dogs by others in Beiliang City?"

"What if I can't wait?"

The old man surnamed Xie stopped in front of his mansion and looked at the quaint mansion and sighed.

"Who in Daqian can stop his edge now?"

The old man surnamed Xie seemed to ask again, and Wang Yuanming seemed to ask himself again.

"I'm afraid that the eighteen thousand people in the branch next to my Xie family are not enough for others to kill with one sword, you must know that our highness not only has a furrow in his chest, but also a long sword in his hand. ”

Since the news of the young man's sword slashing Qingcheng and carrying most of the rivers and lakes with his own strength has been eliminated, all the restless factors in Daqian have been eliminated, and even the idea of using private soldiers with the family lords of various states and counties is gone, after all, it has been bothering to prepare for a long time, and it is coming, that is, a matter of a sword, so why bother to bother with that effort.

"So, we're already fish on a chopping board?"

"I have to let someone slaughter it?"

Wang Yuanming smiled miserably.

"It is not enough to be slaughtered. ”

"In this big dry territory, we can no longer check and balance. ”

"I'm afraid I'll have to find another way out. ”

"Lord Wang, we have to look farther. ”

The old man surnamed Xie looked into the distance and pointed out.

Wang Yuanming nodded thoughtfully when he heard this.

"Lord Wang, please tell me about it. ”

Before they knew it, the two of them had already walked outside the Xie Mansion.

The old man surnamed Xie invited him.

......

Xie Fu,

backyard

unitary time,

"Chirp, chirp......"

There is the sound of swallows outside the study, and the more bird's nests under the eaves of some customs in the Qianguo family, the more blessed the family will be, and they often rejoice in this courtyard full of flying swallows.

But now,

The old man surnamed Xie looked up and saw that,

There are flocks of swallows leaving the nest on the eaves,

"Weird, weird......"

"It's time to return home. ”

"Why is this the scene? ”

The old man surnamed Xie couldn't understand it, but he quickly left it behind, because an old man wearing a ring crown, wearing a sentence, and hanging jade bread appeared in the courtyard at some point, and a few seals on his waist shook lightly.
