Royal Road

There are a total of twelve subjects in this year's system, more than a thousand people entered the exam, and 138 were selected. The selection rate is really not low. As the assistant secretary Zuo, Wen Qiao also learned of the list early. Among them, the three of them were even more eye-catching.

Two of these three were county magistrates and one was the county magistrate. They all joined the state system department. However, unlike the previous low-ranking officials, as long as they are admitted for special performances, Taiwan Province can also go. In addition, students from various counties to Chongwenguan, officials below grade four can also provide a student to take the entrance exam. In the future, there are bound to be more incompetent scholars who will enter the officialdom through Changke. If there are a few more poor scholars, how many of them can be occupied by the central family? Besides, there is also the new policy of "not going to the prefectures and counties, and not planning to Taiwan province."

This step-by-step change made the Northland family wake up. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the move to restore the Nine Grade Official Personal Law seemed more like a stopgap measure. Even if there are so many aristocratic families who can not enter the three provinces because of their local tastes, what is the point?

And these changes are even more sensitive to Wen Qiao, who is a staff member.

After the emperor ascended the throne, the secretary of the six divisions of the prefecture, surpassed the division of the division, and became the head of the six divisions. Officials are responsible for the appointment and qualification of officials below the sixth rank. This power is enough to provoke people's hearts. However, the official book is Cui Ji, Cui Gongqiao, who has the merits of Conglong and enlightened the prince. The Cui family of Shangdang has no connection with Qinghe, but it is a poor family. Even if the aristocratic families want to clear the relationship, the other side may not take care of it.

Therefore, Wen Qiao, the second official of the subordinate department, is of great significance. Originally from the Wen clan of Taiyuan, it was the first gentry in Bingzhou to serve as the emperor. He once served as a prefecture and moved up all the way, winning the trust of the emperor. Now that it is less than 30 years old, it is ranked fourth, and it has a promising future.

Every family, who can have few in-laws, few old-fashioned? In front of Wenqiao's mansion, there is a beautiful city. Many people have frequently encouraged him to open the door to the family's convenience. He was almost on fire.

However, after being persuaded by others, Wen Qiao never thought about it. It's because he understands that the gentry who stayed in the Northland are not fully minded.

Wen Qiao knows these high temperaments too well because he was born in Shuyue. There are many families who are keen on glory and cherish Qinggui, but most of them head south and live in the east of the Yangtze River. And those who stayed in the north were not a big family, and they were not afraid of Hulu's mighty power. It's a curious, opportunistic generation.

These people can talk to others, but they don't put their wealth on others. If possible, stepping on someone's back may be even more enjoyable!

The emperor should also know their nature. Regardless of whether it is the Ninth Grade Official Personnel Law or the Changke Recruiting Scholars, they all give the family a way out. The boundaries have already been drawn, as long as they don't cross the boundaries, and each depends on their ability, whoever earns it will be the one who earns it. And if the aristocratic family really participated in the scientific examination, would it be worse than the poor family?

It's like a kettle of warm water, boiling everyone in it. Either against the current, or sinking the bottom of the corpse. If there is any antipathy, how did the Chen clan in Yuzhou destroy the clan last year? It is a lesson from the past.

The possibility of self-reliance as the king, and even separation of one party, is getting slimmer. It is too late to flee to the South. It's always better to stay in Da Zhao than to call court to the Xiongnu.

This ring loops so tightly. Sometimes Wen Qiao couldn't help but wonder whether he, the servant assistant, was one of the secretive skills of the emperor. I want to use him to catch those unruly rebellious parties.

It is precisely because of this that Wen Qiao is more and more self-denying. He was a human being in the two dynasties, and he knew better than anyone else that he would be far better than the kings of Sima. If he wanted to be a drunk person, he would have crossed the river south. And staying in Da Zhao, no matter what your background, as long as you have talents, are you afraid that you will have nowhere to display it?

When his youngest son is six years old, he should be sent to Chongwenguan. The eldest son can attack the prince with grace, but the other heirs have to rely on their own abilities. Back then, the six fathers and uncles of his family were known as the "six dragons". How could his heirs be inferior?

Not only Wen Qiao, the reform of the system has also caused waves in the hearts of many people. However, there are not many outspoken words in the end. There was news a few days ago that there were civil upheavals in Jiangdong and dozens of counties were destroyed. Not to mention the territories occupied by the Huns, there are tens of thousands of refugees who fled from the Yong and Qin areas alone. The people simply don't have a living.

Although the world is big, there are not many places to live. The family business and life are the most important.

No one opposes, the rest is chanting. The scholars in Enke also enter the palace according to the regulations.

Standing outside Dongyemen, Sun Zhang only felt sweat on his back. Since knowing that he was on the apricot list and ranked among the top three in the "Wen Jing Bang Guo Ke", he has been excited day and night and can't sleep. This is Encore! Even if they are not as good as the regular subjects, they can still enter the DPRK as officials. If it is released, at least the county prime minister will start. A few years ago, I am afraid I would not even dare to dream!

What's even better is that the other three people who crossed with him were also selected. Except for Zou Qian's lower rankings, Lu Chun and Zhu Yue are not bad in the test! From now on, the four of them will be the solemn "same year." In officialdom, they can also take care of each other.

How can we not make people excited and uneasy if we are so happy? So standing in front of this Yemen, not to mention sweating heavily, Sun Zhang's legs were a little soft. Enke is no better than Changke, and without the three-tiered one, you can't enter the palace to play right. But it is also a golden opportunity to stand outside the Tai Chi Hall and see the magnificence of the imperial city!

"Your Majesty has a decree, declare that the new talents will enter the palace!" The voice of the decree came from the palace and echoed endlessly.

Chang Ke and the first are called "Jinshi", while Enke is called "Xiu Cai". The talented person is also the country's dry city. This is the praise and grace of the Son of Heaven. The tears in Sun Zhang's eyes almost fell when he heard the "xiucai" in the mouth of the ceremonial officer.

With all his energy, he thanked the emperor's grace with everyone, followed the ceremonial officer, and stepped into the palace.

The wall of the palace just now is powerful and awe-inspiring. However, when Sun Zhang really set foot in Miyagi, he realized that he was lonely and humble. Standing on the road with the persevering Yulin Guards, the golden light of the swords in his hand flashed, and the cold was overflowing. The imperial brick is like a mirror, the palace is like a forest, and the city is flying in the distance, making the sky a bit lower.

Passing through the car door, and then Xiangfeng Tower, entering the end door, putting the magnificent view of the general chapter behind him, the Chinese and Koreans in the "Three Dynasties and Five Doors" are all revealed in front of them.

The five virtues alternate, Zhao Daijin, is Huo De, Shang Chi. The main hall in front of him, Biwa Stanley, is majestic and solemn, like a giant beast entrenched on a jade platform. The imperial ranks of the ascended hall are stretched, full of vermilion, and the first rank and the first rank seem to be boundless, blending into the hall. The incense burner in front of the Tai Chi Hall spit out fog, the feathers were dense, and there was also a Jinlou decorated with sundial, dotted with it.

Against the backdrop of this huge palace, more than a hundred new talents are as insignificant as ants.

Wait for everyone to follow the instructions of the courtesy officer and enter the train station. The court musicians played Shao Le. Sun Zhang's heartbeat became faster, and he didn't even dare to gasp. This should be the ascension of the emperor, right? Is the Nine-Five Sovereign in the hall in front of you? However, no matter how excited he was, he did not dare to look up at the emperor Lubo. Just according to what I have learned before, along with the hundred officials in the temple, go to the chief, Shanhu Long live.

In the singing and drinking of "Flat Body", Sun Zhang's hands and feet trembled and stood up straight again. The sweat has dripped to his jaw, but he dare not wipe it. After waiting for a while, an old man holding the imperial edict walked out of the Taiji Hall, stood on top of Dan, and unfolded the edict.

This person is Fan Long, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. Enke was not allowed to go to the palace because there was no palace exam. However, there are still some names for Jindian Chuanxu and Imperial Prelude. Although he is old, Fan Long's voice is still high and full of air.

"In the four years of enlightenment, the emperor Longen opened a department and recruited a wide range of talents from all over the world. Today, 138 scholars are recruited. Three of them are recruited from the special department, and they are granted scholarships. The scholars have learned liberal arts, and 12 are recruited; Wenbang received five people from the National Science Department...Ten people from the medical department. All of them were awarded nine grades, and gifted scholarships!"

Tetsuke actually gave a fellow Jinshi background! And no officials were awarded. Is this going to be based on the original official position? But these only flickered in Sun Zhang's mind and disappeared in smoke. Just because on the high platform, the Book of Rites has begun to announce the names of everyone!

"...The third place in Wen Bang Jing Guo Ke, Sun Zhang."

When the name sounded outside the hall and the servants sang in unison, Sun Zhang really shed tears and stepped forward and bowed to the ground: "Chen Sun Zhang, thank your Majesty Longen!"

His voice melted into the gratitude of other people, and he couldn't hear clearly. However, no one cares. Sun Zhang only felt that his life's wish was fulfilled.

However, after the 138 people had finished reading them one by one, the small yellow door in the hall said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has an decree, the Xuan Special Section will enter the Taiji Hall with Jinshi to meet."

Sun Zhang's mouth almost failed to close. Enter the temple and face saint! Does Specialist have such an honor? This is even better than the real Tongjinshi, only Sanding A can compare!

However, no matter what you think, the three of you have already left the queue, and under the leadership of the ceremonial officer, stepped onto Danbi and entered the hall. An unspeakable taste suddenly ignited in the chest cavity, and Sun Zhang bit his teeth. He still has hope. As long as you are a good official and go to school, one day, you can get such a honor!

The emperor never despised them. The master of the Tai Chi Palace is worthy of his heart and soul, and he will be able to drive to his death!

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound. Under the turmoil, Sun Zhang couldn't help but lift his eyes and glanced over. I saw two small doors opening upstairs outside the hall. Two wooden figures more than three feet tall, stepped out at the same time. One person knocked the clock and the other held up a placard. His sight flickered, although he couldn't read the words on the card, he could clearly see the purple robe on the puppet.

With a huge shock in his mind, Sun Zhang hurriedly lowered his eyes. what is this? Did God give him a good omen, indicating that he can also wear Crimson?

In fact, Sun Zhang didn't notice. Most of the talents under the order just couldn't help but took a look, and they all saw the purple-robed puppet. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, pretending that he hadn't seen it, and he never scolded them for their misconduct.

After all, there are not many emperors who will repair the bell tower in front of the Tai Chi Hall. In comparison, the extravagant act of Emperor Wei Ming, who spent huge sums of money to build bronze dragons and bronze phoenixes in front of Shigandian, was more normal.

But the holy emperor, there is always something surprising. Just looking at those people's awe-inspiring gaze, you know that the bell tower is not covered in white. Taking a peek at the time of the sundial on the roof, the ceremonial officer lowered his eyes again and waited for the end of Chao Yi.

"On the day of enrollment in one fell swoop, you will return to your hometown... if you really are an official, I am afraid it will not be so easy to return to your hometown." Leaning in front of the imperial case, Liang Feng said with a smile.

At present, the central government is pursuing the method of being an official in a different place. If you really become an official, the expatriate will avoid your hometown. Those four poems of denking were purely drawn by Liang Feng from his memory, so he couldn't make it accurately.

But it's really easy to use. If it were not for fear of the backlash caused by the smell of copper, he really wanted to move out the song "Yan Ruyu in the Book" as well. The imperial examination is the best way to centralize power and control the local government. As long as he has the ability, which emperor wants to see the face of the local boss?

"There are more scholars in this department. Does the lord want to fight Yongzhou?" Next to him, Yi Yan hooked a silver spoon and picked out another cherry pit. A few processed cherries, piled in the small jade plate opposite, almost have a bite weight.

Unexpectedly, Yi Yan could see it. Liang Feng raised his eyebrows and threw the pile of sweet and sour cherries into his mouth before he said: "After Yuzhou has beaten for two years, he is still docile. The front line has also been pushed to the north bank of Huaishui. There is no worries, it is time to move Yongzhou. Besides, the Qin Tianjian just reported it, and it is estimated that there will be several solar eclipses in the next two years. Now that there are chaos in the Yong and Qin areas, and the solar eclipse again, do the Huns still have the heart to defend the city?"

These words made Yi Yan's spirits refreshed: "If there is a solar eclipse, the minister will be able to conquer Chang'an in one battle!"

"It is good to defeat the enemy in the first battle, but the loss is too great. Take your time and force the Xiongnu to retreat and let them waste their forces. There are still too many Qianghu in the Yong and Qin areas, which is not a good thing after all." Liang Feng saw it. understand. Those Diqiang and miscellaneous Hus who have rebelled with the Huns are enough to constitute factors of instability.

These people don't just surrender. If it falls today, it may be reversed tomorrow. The only way is to force the pseudo-Han to consume himself first, and to eliminate its combatable soldiers as much as possible. After being calmed down, the people were broken up, mixed into the Han people and assimilated. It may take 50 or even a hundred years to completely eliminate hidden dangers.

But what he wants is true unification. It is not the grand scene of the Siyi dynasty, but the assimilation and annihilation, the complete annexation and stability. It is worthwhile to spend some time for this goal.

Although Yi Yan is also a husky, he does not pay attention to the dispute between Hua and Yi. As long as the country can be stable and the people can live happily, it is the greatest blessing. Since the merged state can be achieved, you can be treated the same if you want to come to Yongzhou.

"If this is the case, I'm afraid it will take two years." Yi Yan thought about it and said, "On the front line of Huai Shui, we need to collect grain to prepare for war and train the navy."

After fighting the Huns, they will send their troops to the south. This is not something that can be solved by simply riding on foot. How well Wei Wu was able to fight back then was not the defeat of Chibi. Without a strong enough navy, wanting to conquer Jiangdong is purely idiotic.

Liang Feng smiled: "This is natural. I still have the baby at the bottom of the box, I haven't taken it out yet..."

Halfway through the conversation, suddenly there was a waiter in the East Palace asking to see you. When the emperor summoned General Chaqi to discuss state affairs, no one dared to interfere. However, Donggong's subordination was extraordinary, Liang Feng sat up slightly, and summoned him in.

Soon, the visitor trot all the way, rushed into the hall, and fell to his knees: "Your Majesty is overjoyed! The prince is pregnant!"

"What!" Liang Feng couldn't help leaning forward, "Can the hospital be diagnosed?"

"The imperial doctor Ling has checked the pulse personally! It's true!" The little yellow door flushed with excitement, and replied loudly.

"Okay! There is a reward!" Liang Feng tightly grasped the hands of the people around him. The crown princess is pregnant, but it's a great thing! Once the emperor's grandson is born, the three-generation inheritance is settled. Only this one can make all the wall riders fall to Da Zhao!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" The other hand was caressed on the back of Liang Feng's hand.

Turning his head, a pair of bright blue eyes, blooming with joy. Yes, he also hoped that Rong'er would give birth to his emperor's grandson sooner. I hope that I can repay the crime of obsession. The heart was rubbed fiercely. Liang Feng said suddenly: "It happens that Ai Qing is also in the palace, would you like to follow me to the East Palace?"

Yi Ling was suspicious for a moment, and slowly smiled on his face: "This is the luck of the minister."

Liang Feng also laughed. Holding Yi Yan's hand, he stood up and swayed in the east palace.

The author has something to say:

The name Xiucai has existed in the Han Dynasty. The Secretary and each state can recommend a talent every year, which means an outstanding talent. Later, when Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu became the throne, he became Maocai. After arriving in the Three Kingdoms, I changed it back. Switching to Liang Shao's side, when they were called the system department, they actually took a high look at these people. However, the tradition that Jinshi is higher than talented talent is expected to be handed down.
