The Master of the Kingdom

There is no impermeable wall in the world.

They can guarantee that the conversation between Su Yi and Mu Yan and the prince will not be spread, and the conversation between the emperor and Mu Yan can be guaranteed not to be spread. But if the emperor goes out of the palace, that's not necessarily the case.

With such a large palace, the emperor could not hold everyone in the palace in his hands. If the emperor leaves the palace, the news will soon reach other people's ears.

Even if no one heard what the emperor and Su Yi said, as long as they knew that the emperor had only passed out this "strange" decree after meeting with Su Yi, everyone would wonder if it had something to do with Su Yi.

In the end, the emperor decided not to ask about this in person, but to let Mu Yan go.

Mu Yan smiled bitterly.

Although he doesn't like the Mu family, he doesn't care about the prosperity of other families. But at any rate, his friends are members of the family circle, and he himself is also the head of a large family in front of outsiders. He felt a little awkward in his heart to do this kind of thing now.

From Su Yi's sentence at the time, "the family would regard me as a thorn in the flesh", Su Yi knew how much the imperial examination system had hit the gentry.

If he supports this matter, he is like a black sheep in the family, I am afraid that people will be reviled and hated, even better than the friendship that initiated this matter.

However, Mu Yan accepted the matter without hesitation.

A lifetime is always ambitious. The higher the talent, the greater the ambition.

Under the emperor's persuasion, Mu Yan took over the position of Patriarch of the Mu family, whom he deeply hated, in order to realize his ambition.

He does not specialize in Confucianism, but he deeply recognizes the ideal of Confucianism to "peace the world", and hopes to realize the ultimate goal of "three immortality" of morality, proposition and meritorious service.

Although he is a family, Mu Yan knows that the family is entrenched, and the government does not reach the place, and the place where many powerful clans gather is no different from a separatist regime. This is clearly harmful to the country.

Therefore, Mu Yan accepted this heavy burden, even if he knew how big an attack he would be, he still had no regrets.

Seeing that Mu Yan took the matter without hesitation, the emperor sighed in his heart.

If there are more people like Mu Yan in the dynasty, will the peace and prosperity he hopes come sooner?

The emperor smiled and shook his head. He can't be too greedy. He already has Mu Yan, the eldest son has returned from his studies, and the younger son has regained his sanity. As an emperor, as a father, he was lucky enough.

But if Mu Yan made such a sacrifice, the emperor naturally wanted to protect him.

Mu Yan will only serve as a message. As for the follow-up, let's find someone else to do it.

It is better for Mu Yan to follow the family and express his fierce opposition.

After Mu Yan returned home, he found Su Yi and bowed deeply to Su Yi.

Su Yi's mouth twitched.

He and Mu Yan are also familiar. Mu Yan is usually foolish, but once he gets serious, it's absolutely fine.

And now what Mu Yan asked for was probably the "imperial examination system" he called the leak.

Su Yi sighed: "Heqing, this is harmful and unhelpful to you."

Mu Yan smiled silently.

Su Yi suddenly felt sour in her heart.

He thought of his former friends.

As the second generation ancestor of Su Yi, most of his friends are in the same circle as him, and there are many accomplished people who are not like him.

Among Su Yi's friends, there have been people who abandon their family business in order to realize their ambitions, or even endanger the family business.

He once saw a friend of himself who personally sent his beloved father to prison, and his family business was ruined. Then he turned his head all night, and at night he had to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep.

Su Yi once asked him whether he regretted it. He had described it as haggard, but he did not regret it.

His family is happy, but how many families are broken because of his family. Maybe he will regret it all day long and cannot be relieved, but he will do it again.

Su Yi admires those who are righteous and annihilated. He asks himself that he can't do this.

When Su Yi looked at Mu Yan, he thought of his friend.

Mu Yan should represent the interests of the family. He and the Mu family themselves have also benefited a lot from the current dominant society of the family. Even in some places, Mu's words were more effective than the emperor's.

But he actually wanted to make a move to change this situation.

The family is declining, and the Mu family can't escape. Will Mu Yan be ashamed of his relatives?

Just like the emperor always hopes that his children and grandchildren will be emperors, the founders of each family are also overwhelmed with all kinds of hardships, and only hope that their family can be the master forever.

Su Yi rubbed his temples and said, "Since He Qing has said so, then I will... tell you."

"Xie Kangle." Mu Yan said deeply again.

Su Yi rubbed his temples again and said, "Sit down and talk slowly."

"I once said that every world has many branches, because there is never communication, so it is called a parallel world. And the timeline of each parallel world is different."

"Although my Taoism has disappeared, but in the past, I have also observed the long river of the world. Before, I said many poems and songs of people in other worlds. He Qing may have suspected that those people are very similar to the people here. His poems and songs are like our world."

"In fact, it was originally the same world, but it branched out at the beginning, and the timeline was different." Su Yi took a sip of white water and saw Mu Yan's dizzy expression as he wished.

"The so-called imperial examination system is the system by which the imperial court selects officials afterwards." Seeing Mu Yan raised his spirit, Su Yi threw a big bomb badly.

Although he was already mentally prepared, Mu Yan couldn't help but his expression changed: "Then...Did they succeed?"

Su Yi smiled and said: "This is a long process. He Qing doesn't have to worry too much, you won't see that day."

Mu Yan couldn't help but said helplessly: "Should I say something so I can rest assured?"

Su Yi said: "He Qing has probably guessed the implementation of the imperial examination system. It is to interrupt the monopoly of the family in recommending talents. There are many non-family people benefiting. And these people do not rely on the family to enter official careers, so they will not necessarily rely on them. The clan. After all, those who can be admitted to the official ranks can be described as the pride of heaven. They all have temperaments, and most of them will not be used to the arrogance of the clan."

Mu Yan caught the key word: "Test?"

Su Yi nodded: "The imperial examination system is divided into subjects, which is the examination. Only after passing the examination can you be an official."

Mu Yan said: "How to take the test?"

Su Yi said: "Do the questions."

Mu Yan asked: "Question?"

Su Yi said: "The imperial examination is divided into many levels. At first, it was called a scholar...well, unlike the previous scholars, this is the most inferior fame. Then it is Juren. Juren can be an official, but it can only be released outside. The locality starts with the head of a county. And there are many people to be elected, and you have to participate in the assessment to be an official. Then it is the Jinshi."

Su Yi didn't know how the Jinshi exam was done. On TV, the top picks looked at the flowers and the like, it seems that the emperor ordered them after doing the questions in the palace. But the imperial palace cannot accommodate people from all over the world, so...it should be two exams, right?

Su Yi said: "Juren must be admitted to the Jinshi two times. One time is for all the Juren examinations, and the selected ones go to the palace. The emperor personally presides over the examinations and ranks them."

"The one who takes the middle is called the pupil of the emperor."

Mu Yan said: "The emperor's disciple... the emperor's disciple... the final decision is in the hands of your majesty."

Su Yi continued: "However, officials and eunuchs are also privileged. An example of ether studies. Those who graduated from the study can skip the first two exams and go directly to the Jinshi; or they can be directly awarded officials."

"For those who graduated from Taixue, they will be awarded officials together with Juren, but some assessments are omitted. If the family can speak in front of the emperor, it is okay to directly serve as an official in Beijing." Su Yi shook his head and said, "However, with the world. Scholars fight for the winning Jinshi, relying on the shadow of the Taixue students at home, He Qing thinks, which kind of person has a higher status?"

Mu Yan said, "I'm afraid that the latter will have a high status at first, but later, the generals will definitely not be reconciled."

Su Yi said: "It's not just that the generals are not reconciled. The family education is much better than the generals, and there are many outstanding children taught. Anyone who is outstanding must be arrogant. The scholars of the world compete with scholars in the imperial examination. The event. Don’t they want to compare?"

"Especially most of the family resources tend to be the eldest sons. The second sons and even the concubines often take some leisure jobs to spend their days leisurely. When there are imperial examination candidates, let alone themselves, don't the family members want to let the children and grandchildren with insufficient resources in the family go Fight for a future?"

"The same is the family, the children of the family who have fought against the scholars in the world, and the children of the family who rely on the family to even dare not participate in the imperial examination, who has a higher status?"

Mu Yan nodded: "That's true. If I hadn't been an official, I would definitely end up in such a grand gathering of scholars. If not, I am afraid that the family wants me to be an official, and I will not accept it. Look at it this way. Come, the status of Jinshi will not be low as soon as Jinshi appears. So what does Kangle know about Jinshi exams?"

Su Yidao: "Poverty Dao was someone outside of the world at that time. How can you go into the examination of Jinshi? But since you are an official, then you must rely on being an official. Get talented, test the knowledge necessary for scholars such as Scripture and Yi. At that time, in addition to a little deeper poetry and the like, it will involve the knowledge of law and order, etc. to be an official. When you are admitted to the Jinshi, the main test will be on policy theory."

"Policy theory refers to matters related to the national policy. Whether it is from the classics or from history, the goal of discussing the current national policy is finally achieved. When the emperor finally ranked the scholars, it was the emperor who personally asked the scholars. National policy." Su Yi was not sure, but he said it very confidently, as if it was really the same thing.

Mu Yan was longing for it.

For scholars in the world, it would be an unimaginable glory to be able to face the saints as long as they take an exam, and to offer advice in front of the emperor in person.

Even the children of the patriarchal clan do not want to face the saint to face saints, let alone offer advice if they want to offer advice.

Mu Yan didn't know how much nonsense Su Yi said.

Most of the imperial examinations he talked about were seen on TV. Let’s not say that the imperial examination on TV is a fusion of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and its content also serves the plot, so there are many changes.

For example, the Tang and Song dynasties emphasized poetry and fu, and the Ming and Qing dynasties emphasized classic meaning. Although this policy theory requires examination, it is not of high importance. Because those scholars dare not talk nonsense. If it doesn’t fit the examiner’s and emperor’s ideas, isn’t that too wrong?
