Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2587
Although there are many disadvantages in the imperial examination, the imperial examination is indeed a merit in the present and is beneficial to future generations.

For most common people, the imperial examination is an important part of improving the common people's thinking and developing culture. The imperial examination system will create an opportunity for many people to realize the value of life, and many people will try their best to catch up with this opportunity. Over time, In the society, an atmosphere of discussing academics and overcoming difficult problems has formed, which has led to the emergence of a large number of intellectuals in society and improved the overall quality of the people.

However, nothing has only a good side. Under the imperial examination system, because the content and mode of the examination have not been adjusted or innovated for a long time, and only focus on explaining scriptures and texts, a mentality of taking exams has arisen. It is inevitable that people only pay attention to these examinations. content, thereby inhibiting the original innovation of the academic circle, and over time, the "stereotyped essay" was formed, which obliterated the examinee's own thinking and became a thoughtless machine under the imperial examination system, hindering academic research and social progress.

Secondly, after the implementation of the imperial examination system, a series of cheating phenomena such as entraining cheat sheets and finding someone to take the exam appeared, which seriously affected the examination discipline at that time, and also violated the original intention of the imperial examination system.It makes people feel wronged, thinking that they can win through some "tricks", thus humiliating those who study hard.

Because when Feiqian is promoting the imperial examination, all the rules are in the early stage, so there are some disadvantages that can be eliminated at the beginning...

But these are things to say later, and the imperial examination system has already begun to change the political ecology under Fei Qian.

In the backyard of Wei Mansion, there is a small pavilion with curtains, and sandalwood is lingering.

Imperatae is the banquet, and the wine is warm and lightly fragrant.

Du Ji sat silently on the mat, looking at the bean dish Wei Duan was beating on the opposite side with chopsticks, while singing in a low voice.

"There are rabbits and pheasants, and pheasants are away from Luo."At the beginning of my life, there was nothing to do, but after I was born, I suffered a lot from this.I still have no sleep.

"There are rabbits and pheasants, and pheasants are away from the phoenix.At the beginning of my life, there was no creation, but after I was born, I was full of worries.Still sleepless.

"There are rabbits, and pheasants are away.At the beginning of my life, there was no mediocrity. After I was born, all kinds of evils happened.Still sleep without hearing. 』

Hearing Wei Duan's words, Du Ji frowned slightly.

It's not because Wei Duan's voice is ugly. After all, Wei Duan is just old, and his voice may not be so bad. After all, Wei Duan was also known as the little prince of Chang'an K-song, and he used to sing at major literary conferences in Sansuke .

After all, China has a traditional literature and art of singing. Whether it is a big or small event, a small meeting, singing seems to have become a necessary skill. If you can't, or if you have a five-tone insufficiency, it's like being "low" by someone if you don't have enough height. object of view.

Du Ji knew what Wei Duan was singing, it was one of the songs in the Book of Songs.

Humans live in groups. In ancient hunting, only cooperation can deal with ferocious beasts and various natural dangers. Therefore, people are always a little timid when they are alone, and they will become bolder when they gather together.

Of course, you can't find pig teammates when looking for teammates.

Wei Duan thinks that Du Ji is not a pig teammate.

Du Ji felt that Wei Duan always looked for him for nothing, which made him somewhat worried.

But Wei Duan and Du Ji have been friends since the previous generation, and from a certain point of view, Wei Duan is not a pig teammate, and the situation is not too bad, so when Wei Duan invites him, Du Ji I still came to the banquet, but Du Ji really didn't expect Wei Duan to sing this song, after all, this song...

Well, this poem is too sad.

However, in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, many people still liked this tune, such as the famous Ruan infantry.

That's right, Ruan infantry, what a name.

Wei Duan sang the whole poem, picked up the wine jue and drank it all in one gulp, then exhaled, stretched out his hand to wipe off the wine stained on his beard, and then said with some disappointment: "The current situation is really disheartening." Feeling cold, it's better to go back, it's better to go back! 』

Return to hair?
Because people who really have no money don’t cry about having no money, because if they really have no money, they are busy making money. Who has the time to lament?

If Wei Duan was really disheartened, he should report to resign now, and then migrate behind closed doors, or go to Zhongnan Mountain to live in seclusion, why would he chant poems here in front of Du Ji?

Du Ji glanced at Wei Duan, pondered for a while, and asked knowingly: "What happened to Brother Wei, so sad?" 』

Wei Duan looked at Du Ji and said, "Uncle Bohou, you know that huqi has been taking Enke's major examinations in recent days, and it is even more important to implement the scientific examination system in counties and counties?" 』

Du Ji nodded.

What more do I need to say about this?Isn't it already a certainty?What, your surname Wei still wants to flip the table?

Wei Duan said with emotion: "Gongda went to Youfufeng, and Zijing went to Longyou. I have nothing to say about that, but how old is Sima Zhongda?"And that Zhuge Ziyu... hey, ε=(ο｀*)))...』

Du Ji understood.

Wei Duan felt a sense of crisis.

Looking at Wei Duan's gray beard, Du Ji felt a little emotional.

Logically speaking, Wei Duan's current position is not considered low, but for Wei Duan, it is obviously not enough, and he wants to go one step further.But the problem is that everyone with a discerning eye, including Wei Duan, knows that the examination system will continue. Although the official position in charge of the examiner is temporary, it also means connections...

Although it is said that there is no such thing as a student under the seat, the importance of contacts in the previous inspection system is well known. How could an old fox like Wei Duan not understand?

So after Wei Duan saw the personnel arranged by Fei Qian, he became sour.

Wei Duan is older than his age.

In terms of qualifications, Wei Duan is older.

Compared with the scriptures, Wei Duan is not bad...

The only bad thing is that those guys are all in the core inner circle of Fei Qian, and Wei Duan is a little lacking in loyalty, but generally speaking, people with poor loyalty will not think that they are bad, But the "lord" is wrong.

"Croppity! ”Wei Duan frowned, with a look of pain on his face, “If things go on like this, there will be disasters in the end! 』

Du Ji shook his head and said with a smile, "Not necessarily." 』

"Oh?What is Bohou's opinion? Wei Duan slightly raised his eyelids and asked.

"Sai Weng lost his horse, how can he say good or bad? "Du Ji said slowly, "Brother Wei's failure to go this time may not be a bad thing. 』

"Well..." Wei Duan bowed his hands to Du Ji and said, "I also ask Bohou to enlighten me!" 』

Du Ji waved his hands and said, "I don't dare to give advice, it's just a little bit of nonsense...Brother Wei, what the lord does is not necessarily cronyism, but as cronyism..."

"what? 』What is the difference?
Wei Duan widened his eyes, and immediately thought of something, "Bohou's meaning is..."

Du Ji nodded.

"You and I are more or less used to this kind of imperial examination in Sanfu, Chang'an, but the surrounding counties," Du Ji sighed, "don't say anything else, but just in Hedong...why did Sima Zhongda go to Hedong? 』

Wei Duan was taken aback for a moment. Before, he was so fond of himself, but no bystander like Du Ji could see it clearly. Now that Du Ji was so little, his whole body trembled, and most of the drunkenness dissipated. He uttered a word, "Miss? 』

Du Ji smiled, "If brother Wei really wants to do something?Ling Ai seems to be on good terms with Xin's daughter?Hmm...I heard that the daughter of the Xin family has been in the limelight recently...』

Wei Duan held the wine bowl and remained silent for a while.

Snowflakes were falling.

Although it is Chinese New Year, it is still bitterly cold.

...(⊙⊙)...

Xin Xianying's peak...

Ahem, it's the limelight.

I don't care whether the limelight is popular or not, but after the New Year, the Taixi Quest Team, which is being formed, has become a hot topic around Chang'an, especially in Qinglong Temple. related topics.

A few years ago, Fei Qian was laying the groundwork one after another.

Longyou, Longxi, Yumen pass.

Western Regions, Taixi, Tiantu Mountains and Seas.

Along with the Shan Hai Jing and various related information of the Western Regions, after being spread in Chang'an Sanfu and Qinglong Temple, coupled with the dissemination of some basic knowledge of objects, it also aroused the adventurous spirit of some people in the Han Dynasty.

The West is not alone in its adventurous spirit.

China's original adventurous spirit is not much less than that of the West, but it has gradually disappeared in the process of continuous castration in later generations.Otherwise, during the slash-and-burn farming, how did the two river basins be opened up, how did they conquer the mountains and rivers, and plant the Chinese flag on all the land within their power?

The work of planting flags is actually pretty good for Chinese people.

Foolish people, weak people, the law of Shang Yang has been proven to be only used in wartime, and can only be used for a short period of time. It is an emergency strategy with great side effects, but there are rulers who like to use it for a long time, and even enshrine it. for classic.

In the early days, the people of Huaxia were like anonymous writers who wrote the Classic of Mountains and Seas. They were not necessarily interested in who the emperor of this country was, and who the Sangongs were. Operation and so on are full of all kinds of doubts and curiosity.

It's like Zaozhi is only interested in agriculture.

Among the gentry children from all over the Han Dynasty, not all of them came to Qinglong Temple, and some of them wanted to see the new world.After these people came to Chang'an, they saw the products of the Western Regions, saw all kinds of colorful people, saw some books in the bookstore, and many people became very interested in the Western Regions. Some concerns, or other reasons, made these people not go to the Western Regions.

But they didn't leave either, because Chang'an Sanfu was indeed different from other places in the world. Many new things can only be seen and learned here.

After the theory of Taixi in Qinglong Temple, these people gathered more and more in the process of continuous research and debate.

For them, whether the big man belongs to the Son of Heaven, Fei Qian, or Cao Cao is not too important, but it is just a new relative, so what is the difference?Only the fresh, completely unfamiliar Tessie could arouse their slightest interest.

The Taixi expedition came into being.

Of course, Fei Qian could not act casually like Tang Wang. The equipment he equipped for the Taixi expedition was undoubtedly many times more luxurious than Xuanzang's westbound team in Tang Dynasty.

To be honest, Xuanzang in Journey to the West, or the Tang monk, or the reincarnation of gold, is actually too confusing. In history, Xuanzang is neither a reincarnation nor an imperial brother status, but refugees.

That's right, when Xuanzang left the Tang Dynasty, he was a refugee.

24-year-old Xuanzang wanted to embark on a journey to the west in order to seek the complete and authentic Buddhist scriptures, and went to Nalanda, ancient India, to obtain the scriptures. However, "the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny", so he first applied for a passport to get a visa blocked when.

In Journey to the West, the king of Tang has nothing to do, he looks like a wealthy emperor, but in reality, Li Shimin has only sat down for a few days, and the poor neighbor next door, Turkic, took the opportunity to rob him and clamored for Li Shimin to send relief money, otherwise he would have to go to Chang'an zero. Yuan purchase!
In addition, between the second year of Zhenguan and the fourth year of Zhenguan, the plague of locusts was very serious. Even if Li Shimin ate grasshoppers every day, it was useless...

So at that point in time, Li Shimin was in the mood to recognize what kind of Yudi?

Under such circumstances, Xuanzang stayed up all night to write out the application for "Excellent Buddhist Scholars of the Tang Dynasty to Go Abroad for Research and Cultural Exchange". Before it was delivered to the emperor, it was thrown away as toilet paper.

Then Xuanzang did not have a formal official document, so he could only "smuggle in" in the end, and he was not Sun Xingzhe, but a barbarian businessman, Shi Pantuo.

The only thing that can be compared with Sun Xingzhe is actually not Shi Pantuo's sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, which looks like a yellow hair, but Shi Pantuo, like Sun Xingzhe, turned his face halfway.

And this Shi Pantuo didn't wear a golden hoop.

After taking Xuanzang out of Liangzhou, Shi Pantuo regretted it more and more.The road ahead is boundless and unknown, the road is dangerous, and life is short. Compared with "Amitabha Buddha", the laws of the Tang Dynasty are more practical. Go out without permission and make a decision!
If Xuanzang was arrested, Shi Pantuo would be an accomplice, and he would be implicated by then.On the way, Shi Pantuo turned his face like a sun walker. He took out a dagger and put it on Xuanzang's neck. Xuanzang swore in the name of Buddha that he would not confess him even if he died. leave him.

Xuanzang's only official identity was given by the Gaochang Kingdom, and it was also the king of Gaochang who became sworn brothers with Xuanzang.

By the way, the white horse was also a gift from Gao Changguo.

It's nothing to Li Shimin.

Then classmate Wu looked at it and said that this cannot be written. If it is really written like this, will the leader be satisfied?

change!Things should be done by the subordinates, and the honor should still belong to the leader.

So King Gaochang burst into tears...

Every time he thinks of this, Fei Qian will sigh with emotion, why bother?

Isn't it already a great honor to have a "knowledge of people"?Why bother to grab the hard work of your subordinates?The leader is responsible for all the credit, and the subordinates are responsible for all the scapegoats. What will a new leader who grows up in such an environment look like?

When Fei Qian met with the members of the Taixi Expedition Team, he made it very clear that he was just the organizer and coordinator, and the hard work and risky things were all done by these expedition team members, no matter how successful they were, Whether it fails or fails, it will be recorded truthfully and become a reference and experience for future generations.

Fei Qian brought the civil officials of Zhiyinjian, and asked them in detail about their names, identities, and unfulfilled wishes.

It's like writing a suicide note.

Some people will be very disgusted with the suicide note, but some people will not.

And most of the people present, who were able to participate in the Taixi expedition team, had some adventurous spirit in their bones. They didn't care about the suicide note at all, but paid more attention to the matters related to Taixi that Yifeiqian talked about before.

"General Hussars, I heard that the ground under our feet is a big sphere, so is it true that we have been walking west and will eventually come back from the east?"I really can't imagine this problem. 』

"Hussars, why are there so many color-eyed people in this western land?"Could it be that the four directions of the world are really like those recorded in the Shan Hai Jing, and there are some strange races? 』

"Hussar, is there any descendant of the Queen Mother of the West in this land of Taixi?"Back then when King Mu of Zhou traveled westward, he saw the Queen Mother of the West, was she the daughter of Taixi? 』

"..."

A series of questions were asked.

Some questions were answered by Fei Qian, but some were not, saying that Fei Qian didn't understand himself and asked them to find out by themselves.

It’s okay to say that Xuanzang was lucky, or that he had strong perseverance, but Xuanzang used his deeds to prove that mountains and Gobi, deserts and wilderness are not important factors that hinder the Chinese people from exploring. The pace of China is the "people's heart".

Without this "heart", you will naturally not be able to go out.

As long as you really want to go out, can't you create a way there?
Really think that during the great voyage period, those teeth and so on waited for their own national strength to be strong, internally stable, and the outside world had no interference before going out?
Everything was basically ready. After the snow melted and the weather stabilized, the expedition team was ready to set off. When they arrived in the Western Regions, it was almost the turn of summer and autumn, and then they went from the Western Regions to Taixi.

Fei Qian didn't talk about money rewards with these expedition members, nor did he say anything about leaving a name in history, because if these people really care about money and reputation, they will be trapped by money and reputation, and most of them will not be able to leave. out.

Therefore, Fei Qian can only do his best to equip these people with relevant logistical equipment.

Thanks to some current technological advancements, at least these explorers will be far more relaxed than Xuanzang when they set off from Chang'an.

High-calorie dry food, waterproof and cold-proof linoleum, sturdy leather armor, sharp knives, guns, bows and crossbows, plus the banner of the Han expedition specially made by Hussars...

Fei Qian seemed to be a little noisy and full of energy. The members of these expeditions with strong curiosity about the unknown world seemed to have seen the vigorous vitality of Chinese civilization.These people may be able to take the seeds of Chinese civilization, cross the plateau, walk across the desert, through the Gobi, and then take it to the other side of the mountain range, and then land, take root, germinate, and finally bloom.

Curiosity seeks hope.

Hope is pointing to the light.

Unfortunately, beyond the light, there is shadow.

Just after meeting with these Thai and Western expedition teams, after asking people to test related equipment and appliances, and discussing and confirming some logistics supplies, travel routes, etc., Fei Qian had just left, and Huang Xu whispered in Fei Qian's ear. Said a few words.

The Cai family from Jingzhou is here...
