Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 138

In Zhongqing City, under the bulletin board, there were crowds of people. Many people gathered here, looking ahead with their feet on their feet.

On the bulletin board, the jade seal stamped on Huang Chou's bulletin represents that this bulletin was made by the current emperor.

There was a scholar standing at the front, staring at the notice with both eyes, and said in his mouth:
"The ancient sages, kings and masters all waited for sages to become famous. Today's sages are wise, how can they be more ancient people? The problem is that the lords do not know each other. Scholars are allowed to advance? Today I have to rely on the foundation of my ancestors, inherit the throne, and want it to last forever. The ancestral temple has been destroyed for generations. The sages have shared peace with me, and they don’t share the peace with me. Is it okay? Those who are sages are willing to follow me, I will respect them regardless of nationality or status. Make it obvious. Announce it to the world so that I know my intentions."

After the scholar finished reading the notice, many people in the crowd had their eyes lit up and became elated.

Among the crowd, people who haven't heard clearly or can't see clearly can't help talking loudly:
"What exactly is written?"

"I didn't hear you clearly!"

"The above said, our Majesty, let the talented people in the world serve him, and His Majesty will give those who serve him endless glory and wealth!"

"Hey, this matter! We don't know any officials who can recommend for us, so what if they are capable?"

"That's right, what are these people so excited about! If you want to read the notices with us, there is no way to think about it!"

Among the crowd, most of the people felt that there was no excitement to watch and were about to leave.

At this moment, a person dressed as a scholar retorted:

"You don't know this. His Majesty has already stated his position at the court meeting with all the officials, saying that this time no officials will be recommended, regardless of their status. It is to set up examination questions to assess talents and learn, so as to recruit talents for the country!"

Speaking of this, another scholar answered:

"This news has been spread before, but I only thought it was a rumor. But the edict issued by His Majesty today has proved that it is true!"

Hearing these words, the eyes of the people who wanted to disperse also lit up, and they continued to gather around, saying in one go:

"Is it true?"

"Can anyone take the test? We can too?"

"How do I sign up? What are the exams?"

The two scholars surrounded were stunned for a moment, waved their hands again and again and said:
"I don't know about that either, but with the edicts for talents being sent out, maybe it won't be long before news will come out."

"How can I be so clear about the matters above the court! It's just that His Majesty's edict is sincere, which shows that His Majesty really cherishes talents, so I concluded that the previous rumors are true, and I am so happy after waiting."

When the people heard this, their eyes became eager.

In the past, the recruitment of talents by the imperial court had nothing to do with ordinary people like them.Even if there are occasional civilians who can become officials, it is because of luck that they got into the eyes of that adult, or they were promoted by nobles.

Others have no luck, no strong ability, but they can't walk this way.

But only listening to the explanation of the two scholars, these people felt that a real way to change their family was just in front of them.

But at this time, another scholar with a slightly mean appearance said with a sneer:
"It's not as simple as you think! At the beginning, the court selected talents, didn't they also have assessments? But now, it's just a formality. In the end, the selected ones are not the children of the official families."

As soon as this sentence came out, the eyes of several scholars moved, but seeing that the tall and thin scholar had a slightly strange expression, they suddenly realized it, and quickly echoed:
"That's right! In the end, this matter has nothing to do with us."

"I advise everyone, don't waste all this effort, it's useless!"

"Go away, go away!"

After all, several scholars squeezed out of the crowd while shaking their heads and sighing.

The rest of the scholars in the crowd also had strange expressions on their faces, and turned to leave one after another.A straightforward scholar frowned slightly and opened his mouth to speak, but before he could speak, his companion covered his mouth and dragged him away.

Looking at the strange expressions of these scholars, they left in a hurry.A group of people around the bulletin board suddenly fell into silence.

Not long after, I heard someone whispering:

"Hey, these scholars, they didn't talk so much before!"

"Hehehe, this is making us fools."

There was a burst of laughter among the crowd, and then dispersed.

This world can be said to be overflowing with educational resources!There are so many scholars educated by various schools of thought.

The most important thing is that these schools of thought only care about recruiting students, not distribution.

Killing or burying belongs to it!
It is also because of this that the competition among scholars at the bottom of the world can be said to be extremely involved.

Many scholars tried their best to obtain the status of aides and accompanying officials of the ministers in the court.He worked so hard, even willing to act as a hawk and sell his soul, just for a recommendation qualification.

Under such an environment, it is rare for low-level scholars to get such an opportunity, so naturally they hope that as few people as possible know about it, the better.

Several scholars left in a hurry while discussing in a low voice:

"Where did those two scholars come from? Why do they talk so much?"

"The world's poor scholars have no way out for a long time. Seeing His Majesty's edict, they will inevitably be ecstatic and lose their composure!"

A scholar who was not young and looked quite poorly dressed, with a look of resentment on his face, said quite excitedly:

"Since you know that there is no way out for a long time, you shouldn't talk too much. The less people know about this kind of thing, the better..."

The scholar was so excited that he didn't even notice the person in front of him.Thanks to the timely help of his companions, he didn't hit him head-on.

The scholar frowned slightly and looked in front of him intently, only to realize that the person he almost bumped into just now was a young scholar.

He looked at the gorgeous black Taoist robe on the scholar, and the few people wearing the same Taoist robe around him, couldn't help being surprised, and hurriedly bowed his hands and apologized.

Dressed like this, everyone knows that he is a disciple of the Yin Yang family.

The young scholar nodded slightly, turned sideways, and got out of the way.Seeing this, a group of scholars also saluted together, and then left in a hurry.

"These people are really... hard to describe!" A disciple of the Yangyang family shook his head and said.

Hearing the words, the leading middle-aged man suddenly pointed at the disciple and said with a light smile:

"Chang Sinian, if you fail the next exam, you will be ordered to leave the mountain."

Ordering him to go out of the mountain means that the Onmyo family judged that he was not qualified to continue studying.Generally, people like this, without the guidance of their teachers and the support and recommendation of their teachers and connections, will be like the group of low-level scholars just now, and they will be more depressed.

The Onmyoji disciple named Chang Sinian was startled, and quickly hid behind his companion with a smirk.

The middle-aged man shook his head, looked at the three disciples beside him, and said seriously:
"I'm just joking, but you and the three of you should also think about your future path and how you should go! We've seen the Emperor of Yun Kingdom before. Look at this Edict of Seeking Talents, and you'll know who he is." Tao Weilue has great ambitions. The three of you, take advantage of this opportunity to give it a try. If you can get into the eyes of the Emperor of Yun Kingdom, you can also find a family background for yourself!"

Hearing this, the three Onmyoji disciples suddenly had different thoughts in their hearts.

Another disciple suddenly asked:

"Isn't the teacher planning to see the emperor of Yunguo? Wouldn't it be faster and more convenient to ask the teacher for a recommendation? Why bother to compete with these low-level scholars for the way out."

The middle-aged man smiled without saying a word, turned his attention to his tall and thin disciple, and asked:

"Shi Chengwen, what do you think?"

The tall and thin disciple named Shi Chengwen pondered for a moment and said:

"This new system of selecting talents was implemented by the Emperor Yun himself. In this case, he will definitely select someone from the scholars selected this time as a benchmark, and reuse him as a model for the world to see. .Compared to a recommendation, this time is an excellent opportunity for me to wait!"

Recommendation is just the beginning of becoming an official, if you want to make a difference in the future, you still have to work hard!Compared with being set up as a benchmark by the emperor and being used more heavily, the recommendation is obviously not at all attractive. ,

Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shook his head and said:

"Hey, Cheng Wen, you are so smart, if you hadn't been obsessed with the way of conquest on the battlefield, you would have entered my Yin-Yang family's inner sect long ago, and practiced profound Yin-Yang secret arts with me!"

When Shi Chengwen heard the words, he quickly bowed and said:
"Among the classics of my Yin-Yang family, there are also classics related to the art of war. Follow the time, push the punishment and virtue, follow the fight, because of five victories, pretend to be the one who is helping by the power of heaven and earth. This is also the way of my Yin-Yang family!"

"My Yinyang family knows how to dispatch soldiers and horses and kill on the battlefield. You, Uncle Wang Xiao, took this path! However, there are only a few people who study this way from the inner and outer sects of the Yinyang family. Disciples underestimate it. Otherwise, you, Uncle Wang Xiao, wouldn’t be able to walk alone when you were in the sect. As a result, you didn’t have any brothers from the sect to help you before..."

Having said that, the middle-aged man froze, shaking his head and saying:
"Oh, that's all, as you please! I have seen many disciples like you. Once you have a plan in your heart, you don't listen to anyone! Even if you get hit hard, you never look back."

Shi Chengwen hurriedly cupped his hands and said respectfully:
"Teacher Xie made a point, it's just that this is the obsession of the disciples, so I can only disappoint the teacher's high hopes!"

The middle-aged man stopped talking, turned his head to look at the scholar who just asked the question, and sighed softly:

"Shi Dan, after listening to Cheng Wen's explanation, do you still want me to recommend it?"

When Shi Dan heard the words, he quickly waved his hands and refused, and saluted respectfully:
"The disciple has been taught!"

The most promising disciple was obsessed with obsession, and the middle-aged man couldn't help feeling a little discouraged. He lost interest in talking, waved his hand casually, and said:

"Let's go, find a place to rest first. Tomorrow, I will send the token of my Yinyang family to see the emperor of Yunguo!"

"Yes!"
