The Master of the Kingdom

In the past dynasties, the founding emperors of the country were all without a break from the military and horses, so they first developed culture and education, and the emperor of the Yu Dynasty was no exception.

During the Han Dynasty Xingtai School, there were as many as 30,000 at its peak. The emperor of the Yu Dynasty also opened up a wide range of students, hoping that not to mention the restoration of prosperity, somehow he could recruit more talents.

Where the country was founded, there is a shortage of people everywhere.

This was a good thing, but the emperor had a whim, which caused contradictions in the DPRK.

His Majesty the emperor was not satisfied that he only allowed the officials' children to enter Taixue, hoping that the children of the concubine would also have the hope of entering school.

This is normal for the emperor. Every emperor wanted to attack the power of the family. It is a necessary means to promote the common people.

Of course, it is natural to be boycotted by the family.

The people of the world have to face, and the clan can’t say that for the sake of the family’s generation of officials and officials, I don’t want the subordinates to come in. They can only say that the children of the subordinates don’t receive a good education from an early age like the children of the officials. If the emperor really wants to benefit the world's poor students, he can build another school.

Mu Yan felt that this was a good move. It not only took care of the family's face, but also achieved the emperor's wish to recruit students from all over the world. But after the emperor heard about it, he kept the matter aside.

As one of the communicators between the aristocratic family and the emperor, Mu Yan went back and forth between the aristocratic family and the emperor, persuading both sides, which was really exhausting.

But this matter has nothing to do with Su Yi. Su Yi is busy on weekdays, and he does not want to disturb Su Yi with such annoying and vulgar things.

He would rather take a day out with Su Yi to make up for the outing that he hasn't been able to achieve because of his busy work.

But Mu Yan did not say, there will be others.

The prince had never been able to hide words from Mu Yan. If he has any troubles in his heart, he will come to Su Yi to complain.

In this regard, the prince and the emperor are really fathers and sons.

The crown prince also agreed with this matter, but the emperor kept silently rejecting it. When the prince asked the reason, the emperor asked the prince to think for himself.

The prince was thinking about it, but still couldn't think of it.

Mu Yan felt helpless. He couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking.

Su Yi understood it as soon as he heard it.

This is very similar to later Western education. Western education is divided into two types of schools, one is private and the other is public. Private is the enrollment of the elite class and cultivates the elite; the public enrollment is the entry of ordinary people, which also plays a role in literacy and trains migrant workers.

The calculations of this family are the same as those of Western education. Under the current prerequisite that the aristocracy is entrenched in the court, the two schools absolutely cannot compete fairly.

This will be the same as the later generations of Western education. Taixue accepts officials and eunuchs, and trains officials and eunuchs; another school accepts concubines, but the treatment is not so good.

After all, Western education still has college education. The university is liberal in entry and strict in exit, and those elites will complete their final baptism there.

But in this era, you can become an official after you finish your studies too. There is no subsequent re-education, and sometimes even screening is waived.

This is absolutely detrimental to the country.

As for the emperor, no matter how strong this kind of Taixue was, the people cultivated would still be members of the family. Coupled with the current system, some aristocrats can be officials without going to school. The middle of that dynasty was basically controlled by the family. For the monarchy, it is very unfavorable.

Su Yi thought of this, but didn't think much of it, so he said it directly.

After the prince heard it, he immediately started to speak.

"That's no wonder," said the prince. "I said why those people are so kind to build a school for poor students."

Mu Yan said helplessly: "Kang Le, can you say this in front of me?"

Su Yi said, "What can't be said? Didn't you say that you don't care about Mu's family?"

There seemed to be dark waves in Mu Yan's eyes. He pursed his lips and said with a smile: "When I say this, only Kang Lexin is the only one left."

Su Yidao: "Pan Dao is a simple good person. Whatever you say, Pang Dao believes in anything."

Mu Yan laughed more happily.

The prince looked at Mu Yan and Su Yi again, and laughed at the unknown reason.

Su Yi couldn't help thinking, what a silly boy, what are you laughing at.

But Chief Su, what are you doing to laugh at.

"Xie Kangle is puzzled, I won't be a villain now." Mu Yan changed the subject, he sighed, "Jiang is still hot."

Your Majesty is playing a game with several aristocratic families, but he can't see clearly in the game.

The prince said: "But now it's deadlocked, what should I do?"

Su Yi thought of the imperial examination for a moment.

Many TV dramas with the background of the Sui and Tang Dynasties are shown on TV. The imperial examination system is often capitalized and close-up, so that innocent people like him watching TV can't help but pretend to be "historical knowledge" that they don't know whether they are true or not.

In any case, the imperial examination system is a weapon to dissolve the family's elite, and it should be true.

It's just that he didn't know how to operate the imperial examination system.

He only knows to test talents first? Then raise people? Then Jinshi? Three exams or several exams? The last point is the champion, the second place, and the prospect?

Anyway, it is a step-by-step test, ten years of hard study, in exchange for the title of the gold list.

In the TV series, there seems to be a place called Guozijian at the same time as the imperial examination. How many officials and eunuchs of the rank and above can enroll in the school, and then whether they are directly admitted to Jinshi or directly awarded officials, I forgot.

While Su Yi wondered whether to use his specious historical knowledge to help His Majesty and Prince Prince a little, he might inspire their thoughts; on the other hand, he felt that it had nothing to do with him, and it was too involved in the family and imperial power. The struggle is to find a dead end.

"What is Kang Le thinking about?" Mu Yan called Su Yi several times, but Su Yi did not answer, he patted Su Yi on the shoulder and asked.

Before turning his head, Su Yi opened his mouth and replied: "The imperial examination system."

"The imperial examination system?" Mu Yan and the prince asked in unison.

Su Yi's face turned black, and said, "Pan Dao is just talking nonsense."

Mu Yan said, "Kang Le claims to be poor, so I'm hiding something."

Su Yimu smiled. Actually, you don’t need to know me this way.

The prince curiously asked: "What is the imperial examination system?"

Su Yi said: "Nothing, nothing more than nothing."

Mu Yan shook his head and said, "Listening to Kangle's words, it doesn't seem like nothing has happened."

Su Yi's mouth is bitter. You really don't need to know me that way.

Mu Yan smiled helplessly: "If Kangle is unwilling to speak, then my Highness and I will never force Kangle. It's just that tomorrow at the latest..."

Mu Yan pointed her finger at it: "...you will know. Kangle should think about it in advance."

Su Yi Fu'e: "It's really not a big deal."

The prince hesitated and said, "If the Taoist leader really doesn't want to say it, I will intercede with the emperor."

Su Yi patted the prince on the shoulder, very moved. The younger brother is still obedient, like a friend next to him, smiling and waiting for a good show.

After taking the prince away, Su Yi said displeased: "How did He Qing know that what I said was not irrelevant."

Mu Yan said: "Because the timing is too good. Moreover, the inspection system and the imperial examination system are not very similar?"

Su Yi's face was dark: "Your Majesty can also hear it?"

"Of course." Mu Yan said, "Can't you really say?"

Su Yi said: "After I have said it, the world will regard me as a thorn in the flesh."

Mu Yan immediately narrowed his smile and said, "I will never tell others. The prince shouldn't, and Kangle rest assured."

Su Yi sighed: "There is no impermeable wall in the world."

If the emperor really wants him to say, if he doesn't want to, can the emperor let him go?

Su Yi was worried for a few days, but the emperor did not go out of the palace to talk to him. He wondered if the emperor's eyeliner hadn't heard this, so he temporarily set aside the matter.

The emperor's eyeliner did not say this. The steward is here to take care of Su Yi, not to monitor Su Yi. Only when the emperor asked, he would report.

The emperor generally only asked about Suyi's life.

But Su Yi didn't expect how simple the prince was.

In other words, how much the prince is like his brother.

After returning to the palace, the prince had been thinking hard about what the "imperial examination system" was, and he didn't even find out when the emperor came.

Although the emperor didn't let anyone inform him, he quietly frightened his son. But he actually walked to the prince's eyes, and the prince hadn't noticed him yet, and the emperor was a little unhappy.

"Juan Le, why are you in a daze?"

The prince thought for a while and replied: "What did the eldest brother say about the imperial examination system."

After the prince had spoken out, he covered his mouth with horror and looked at the emperor who was already standing in front of him.

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Yongkang said? The imperial examination system?"

The prince said with a bitter face: "The eldest brother seems to be very embarrassed, and he doesn't want to say more. Father, don't ask him."

The emperor said: "It is estimated that political affairs are involved again. Yongkang hesitates every time he talks about political affairs."

The prince nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "So don't ask."

The emperor said: "Okay, I don't ask. You will repeat the conversation to me at that time."

Can't ask, can't you guess?

The prince thought about what happened that day, and felt that there was nothing to say, so he repeated it, and then proudly said: "The matter of learning too much, the son can't understand it, the eldest brother is still good."

The emperor sighed faintly in his heart, feeling even more pity.

His family Yongkang has been brilliant since he was a child, and he is even more so now. It is too sad for such a good son to be unable to inherit his throne.

If Yongkang succeeded to the throne, he would definitely develop into a more prosperous age in his hands than the Han Dynasty.

Su Yi: …to be honest, I think it will destroy the country.

The emperor put his sadness aside, thinking about Su Yi's conversation.

Like Mu Yan, when he heard about the "imperial examination system", he thought of the "supervisory examination system" and understood that the "imperial examination system" in Su Yi's words should be a way of selecting talents.

But what is the "imperial examination system"?

The emperor didn't want to embarrass Su Yi, but he could embarrass Mu Yan. The emperor knew Mu Yan, and because of his temperament, he would definitely continue to inquire.

Mu Yan said: "Teacher Su Tian, ​​if the imperial examination system comes out of his mouth, he is afraid that he will become a thorn in the eyes of the aristocratic family.

The emperor nodded: "Sure enough. What does He Qing think about this imperial examination system."

Mu Yan said: "Speaking of'imperial examination', as the name suggests, it naturally means dividing the examination and recommendation, but as to how to divide the subject, how to recommend it, the minister is at a loss."

The emperor sighed.

He can't think of it either.

He doesn't want to embarrass the friendship, but he intuitively feels that this matter is very important. If it really didn't happen, maybe I could only feel wronged by Su Yi.

But he had to come up with a perfect way to ask about the meaning of "the imperial examination" without incurring disaster to Su Yi.
