Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 444
That night, His Majesty Li Er tossed and turned, Fang Xuanling couldn't sleep all night.

Fang Jun slept soundly...

It's not that Fang Jun is heartless, but he can see from His Majesty Li Er's attitude that the Supreme Being is not really annoyed by this "rebellious" memorial. After all, Fang Jun's move is equivalent to questioning the authority of the emperor, but it has not reached the level where Fang Jun has to be brought to justice, skinned and fried.

His Majesty Li Er is very happy, but it does not mean that he has no open-mindedness. On the contrary, among the emperors of the past dynasties, His Majesty Li Er has a great mind and tolerance. see.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption.

The ancients were actually not stupid. It’s not that no one recognized the root cause of this kind of society’s stubborn ailments. It’s just that they were in such a society where the monarchy was supreme, who would dare to say that?

There are also many emperors who have great ambitions, great talents and knowledge, but when it comes to their own interests, they naturally refuse to give up the power to control the universe and the lives of all the subjects in the world, even if the society collapses, even if the empire collapses...

People are selfish, so even though they know that unlimited monarchical power can easily lead to the corruption of the system and the collapse of the government, no one can let it go.

After I die, who cares about the flood!

After all, His Majesty Li Er is the first emperor of the ages, and he has a broad mind and bearing. Even if he does not accept Fang Jun's remarks, he will not really put Fang Jun to death.

Of course, the premise is that Fang Jun can't shout all over the world...

*****
The text of the Ministry of Rites was quickly distributed to all the prefectures in the world, and the local governments were ordered to recommend talented people to participate in the imperial examination according to the quota.The imperial examinations were divided into four subjects: Mingjing, Jinshi, Mingfa, and Mingsuan. The best ones were selected and rushed to the capital Chang'an before Qingming to participate in the general examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites.

It can be said that the form of the first examination after the reform of the imperial examination system was greatly simplified.

This is because the imperial examination system that Fang Jun drafted and formulated by the courtiers was too strict and cumbersome, and there were too many things to prepare in a hurry, so the first examination had to be simplified, and it was also a compromise for the family. , to give these aristocratic children a buffer time.

The introduction of the imperial examination was a means to suppress the clansmen, but it was impossible for His Majesty Li Er to implement a one-size-fits-all approach. It could give both parties a buffer time and minimize the conflict between each other. This is the style of Ming Jun ...

The exams held in the various prefectures in the world are equivalent to the rural exams in the future. Candidates are recommended by local officials. Needless to say, most of them must be children of noble families after officials, and only a small number of students from poor families.

The exam is presided over by the local government yamen and has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites.

However, the counties of Chang’an and Wannian are located in Gyeonggi. In order to obtain first-hand information on the reformed imperial examinations, the Ministry of Rites combined the examinations of the two counties into one, and dispatched officials to the examination room to supervise the examinations.

Among the high-ranking officials, Fang Jun is the youngest in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and Fang Jun has the highest official position among the young officials, so Fang Jun sadly became the most toiled one, and was dispatched to the Guozijian to preside over the examination.

It's freezing cold, who wants to sway around in the wind and snow?
But Fang Jun was also helpless. When the candidate was appointed to preside over the examination in the Imperial College, all the officials voted for Fang Jun...

Depressed day!

The minority obeys the majority, which has been an excellent tradition in my country since ancient times. Fang Jun had no choice but to take office.

In the early years of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, it was decided that Guozi Temple governed Guozi School, Tai Xue, Simen School, Calligraphy and Mathematical Sciences.In the 13th year of Kaihuang, Guozi Temple no longer belonged to Taichang, and became an independent educational management institution, renamed Guozi School.Daye changed its name to Guozijian in three years and commanded all official schools.

Tang inherited the Sui system, and in the first year of Wude, Tang set up Guozi School with a student quota of 300, and the students were all children of nobles.In the first year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty changed the name of Guozixue to Guozijian, and at the same time it became an independent educational administrative institution.

The Guozijian was built next to the Taiji Palace. The buildings were continuous, with red walls and black tiles.

It is not yet dawn, the frost is frost and the snow is white, and the moon is lonely on the horizon.

The long street in front of the Guozijian was already crowded with candidates taking exams, servants sending exams, and vendors selling.The people and horses were all gasping with white air, making a mess, it was really lively.

Most of these candidates are children of aristocratic families. They have been dressed in fine clothes and food since childhood. They have gone to the teacher's school or invited them to sit early. They can read and write. They can be said to be the most literate group of people in this era.

Occasionally there are one or two poor students in shabby clothes, but they are already famous in the village, and their bearing is also extraordinary.

The gates of the Guozijian were closed.

Seeing that it was getting late, there were more and more candidates gathered outside the gate. Everyone was worried that if the gate was opened late, it would delay the exam time, so they started talking.

"What the hell is this, why haven't you opened the door yet?"

"That's right, it might take an hour or two for so many candidates to go in. I heard that there is still a need for a body search. How long will this be delayed?"

"Are you still searching?" A candidate who had prepared a cheat sheet asked nervously.

"That's natural. This kind of national talent-swinging ceremony must put an end to all cheating, otherwise why would you convince the public?"

"If there is someone who has a cheat sheet hidden on his body, I advise him to take it out as soon as possible. I heard that once it is found, it will be reported to the Ministry of Personnel immediately, and it will never be used!"

Some people started to fight with each other, and their faces turned pale...

Naturally, there are those who don't think so: "Come on, what kind of identity do we have? Not to mention the effect of the writing of the Ministry of Officials on us, the old man at home handed over a letter, and even the Minister of Officials would have to give some points. Face! Even if it is really found out, I don't believe that the bastard who invigilated the exam really dared to report it, don't blame this young master for slapping him in the face!"

"Haha!" Someone next to him sneered: "Don't let the wind flash your tongue! Do you know who is the invigilator this time?"

"I don't care who he is, if he dares to search my body, I dare to beat him!"

"Then we can wait to open our eyes and see how you, the direct son of the Wei family, punches the number one dude in Chang'an City!"

"Chang'an City's number one dude? Who is this famous?"

"Xinxiang Hou Fangjun, have you heard of it?"

"Mother, it's actually that club? Oh, Mr. Wei, stop by, where are you going?"

……

In the crowd, Wei Zhang backed away silently, came to his house and waited on the carriage outside the gate of Guozijian. Throwing it aside, dejected.

The housekeeper of Wei Mansion was a little strange: "Xiao Lang, why are you doing this? You have prepared these cheat sheets for several days, why did you throw them all away?"

"What can I do if I don't throw it away?" Wei Zhang looked frustrated: "If you don't throw these things away, I will be thrown out of the inside later..."

The housekeeper sneered: "Who has the courage to throw you out, Xiao Lang? You are the direct son of the Wei family, and the younger brother of the noble concubine. He is dying?"

Wei Zhang glanced at the old butler and shut up.

You old fool, can you really be invincible when you are the Wei family?

Others may be accommodating, but Fang Jun is the invigilator today. Don't think about it. Once you find cheating cheat sheets from yourself, you will definitely set yourself up as a model. Show on the high flagpole!
But without the cheat sheets that he bought from the officials of the Ministry of Rites, he was simply smeared in his eyes, and he even took a fart test.

When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, we are not convinced by anyone in the entire Guanzhong!
But if you talk about learning, you will be blind...

From childhood to adulthood, apart from sleeping in the school to avoid his father's scolding, have you ever listened to every word with your heart?
I decided to skip the test altogether, but thinking about my father's whip, I was really frightened.That old immortal always carried out the family law, which was really annoying, but every time he disobeyed his father, he would be scolded by the two imperial concubines.He is not stupid, he is able to run wild in the Guanzhong where there are many powerful and powerful people, not relying on the family reputation of "Wedu in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu", but the favor of the two princesses and sisters...

He dared to confront his father, but in front of the two princesses and sisters, he behaved like a kitten.

Looking at the tightly closed door of the Imperial College, Wei Zhang thought bitterly: Fang Jun, you are crazy, why are you here to supervise the exam without hugging your sweet wife and concubine at home on such a cold day?
It's so goddamn me too...
