Kaiyuan Merry

115. Take the Initiative

() It is still the day of the provincial test release list, Qiwangfu.

Li Fan, who has always been graceful and graceful, lost the usual calmness and composure on his face after knowing that Wang Wei won the first place in the provincial test, and the surprise in his heart was completely hung on his face.

If Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying's attitude towards Wang Wei is contradictory, admiring and wanting to conquer but also hating displeasure, then in Li Fan's eyes, Wang Wei is obviously a plaything and tool through and through, even if he treats Wang Weizhen superficially Very kind, can be described as "teacher and friend".

It's a pity that this plaything in his eyes completely disrupted his deployment, making it impossible for him to use any follow-up methods.

Qi Wang Li Fan Mingming got a guarantee from some of the graders-Wang Wei would never pass the provincial test, but he didn't expect such a guarantee to be so weak, and in the end Wang Wei actually won the first place in the provincial test. ** Naked slap in the face!

The King of Qi, Li Fan, had a good plan at first. After Wang Wei failed the ranking through unspoken rules this time, he pretended to be someone close to Wang Wei and pointed out a broad road for him, which was to follow the path of Nine Princess Yuzhen and Princess Li Chiying. With your talent, you will definitely be able to reach the first place in one fell swoop.

This will not only allow him to deceive Wang Wei's feelings, make Wang Wei grateful to him, but also please the noble princess, and let the emperor know his sincerity as a prince.

But now, everything is disrupted.

Wang Wei has already soared into the sky with a very high attitude. The provincial test can be tampered with, but the palace test is not, because all the people who review the palace test papers, including His Majesty the emperor, are court bosses. Wang Wei, go and say hello to those real big shots. If you do this, the price for deposing Wang Wei will be too high, and he can't afford it.

What's more, throughout the ages, I have never heard of the gongshi who is the first in the provincial examination, and will lose the chain in the palace examination. Maybe Wang Wei will not be able to win the first place again in the end, or even the top three in the first ranking, but at least a second ranking Jinshi is a runner. no.

Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty may not be as noble as those in later generations, but they have already obtained official status. As long as they pass the general election, they can be conferred as officials. This is another link that can be manipulated, but it cannot change the general trend. It temporarily prevented Wang Wei from becoming an official, but one day he will be able to soar into the sky after he has gained enough reputation.

Like Wang Han, who is also a direct descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, after being awarded a Jinshi, he temporarily rested at home. When Zhang Jiazhen, who was close to him, entered the court, he would be able to make a lot of achievements.

Qi Wang Li Fan is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is still a little clever, he is quite sinister, and his acting skills are excellent, otherwise the previous "Wang Wei" would not have such a good relationship with Qi Wang.

From the undisputed fact that Wang Wei won the first place in the provincial test, Li Fan quickly sniffed out something unusual. Behind Wang Wei is definitely a big man, at least more powerful than him and Li Chiying .

This made Li Fan feel very bad. Anyone who found out that a guy who was just a small person or a plaything actually had such a big backstage, the feeling of being out of control and out of the plan was really uncomfortable.

King Qi Li Fan also began to subconsciously speculate who was behind Wang Wei, but the direction he determined was far behind Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying. He felt that Wang Wei met some important people through He Zhizhang, such as the former Chinese Su Jin, who is a scholar and who knows how to make patents, or even more boldly, climbed into the relationship with Su Ting, the deputy prime minister.

Li Fan never imagined that Wang Wei would dare to follow Song Jing's footsteps, and even presented a self-recommended poem "Dedicated to Guangping Gong". You must know that after this period of time, Song Jing was under great pressure to reform, and mercilessly treated a certain man. After those with vested interests use their knives, they have already confirmed the name of "iron minister".

However, it has to be admitted that Song Jing's reforms laid a solid foundation for the Kaiyuan prosperity in the future, and Li Longji has always supported Song Jing because he saw the benefits of the reforms to the country.

Who would have thought that Wang Wei would be able to climb up the relationship with Song Jing?That master was not willing to accommodate when his relatives were elected.

Li Fan felt very helpless. No matter who Wang Wei's backer was, he had nothing to do. Although he also had an official status, this official was false. In fact, he and those real court ministers belonged to two systems. The former can barely be regarded as a civil servant system, but he must be classified as a clan honorary.

When Wang Wei was unable to enter the officialdom, he was able to use his influence to make small moves against Wang Wei, but once Wang Wei really became an official, he would definitely move closer to the civil service system. With Wang Wei's talent and reputation, he was definitely clean In the Qingliu, don't rise to the official position too quickly.

Li Fan is already thinking about how to explain to Princess Yuzhen. Although he didn't pat his chest to guarantee that Wang Wei would fail the ranking, the self-confidence he showed was already a vague guarantee.

The most important thing is that Li Chiying, Princess Yuzhen at that time, obviously agreed with his plan very much. She also felt that playing Wang Wei in the applause was easy, but the final result made the two royal children very embarrassed.

As a man, although Li Fan is a little sinister, he is still open-minded. Anyway, he has never exposed his contempt for him in front of Wang Wei. If he can stop Wang Wei from soaring into the sky, then just continue to make friends with him. I have to admit that Wang Wei is no longer in the pool in his heart at this time.

It's just that he was worried that Princess Yuzhen would not be able to accept this fact. He didn't know that Princess Yuzhen had a bet with Wang Wei. If he knew, he would be even more worried that Princess Yuzhen would make a big fuss.

It's always a headache for a woman to make trouble unreasonably. If Princess Yuzhen can continue to crush Wang Wei, he doesn't mind how Princess Yuzhen treats Wang Wei, but now that Wang Wei has made it clear that he has a backer, he is afraid of Li Chiying's impulsiveness. Offend the big man.

In the end, King Qi Li Fan decided to apologize secretly to Princess Yuzhen, and tactfully advised Princess Yuzhen to stop thinking about Wang Wei.

Wang Wei's identity is no longer that high student who only has a false name to protect himself.

Although the provincial examination is more important for scholars, the palace examination attracts the attention of the common people more, and the "champion scholar" that the common people talk about will only come from the palace examination.

The Palace Examination can be regarded as the highest-level examination in the imperial examination.The imperial examination began in the Sui Dynasty and took shape in the Tang Dynasty.After Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian unified the Southern and Northern Dynasties, he further attacked and weakened the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, completely abolished the Jiupin Official Personnel Law and the Zhongzheng System, and set up the Zhixing Xiujin Division and the Qingping Qianji Division in the seventh year of Kaihuang to select officials based on articles.

In the third year of Emperor Yangdi's great cause in the Sui Dynasty, the Jinshi department was opened again, setting a precedent for the imperial examination.In the Tang Dynasty, due to the low family background of the Li family and various other reasons, it became a historical necessity to break the situation where the gentry dominated the officialdom.In the fifth year of Tang Gaozu Wude, China held the first imperial examination in the true historical sense, and four Jinshi were selected, which opened the way for students to become officials.

By the time of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was fixed as a system of selecting scholars, and it has become a custom since then.In the Zhou Dynasty of the Wu family, because Wu Zetian never forgot the old hatred of the nobles in Longxi for opposing her as queen, in order to further weaken the power of the nobles, he recruited officials freely, and personally tested the tributes in the palace, which strengthened and consolidated the imperial examination system.

The supremacy of the number one scholar has a historical development process.Sun Fujia, who won No.1 in Renwu Division in the fifth year of Tang Gaozu Wude, was not called the number one scholar, but only the number one Jinshi.The word champion began in the first year of Wu Zetian's grant.After the first woman in Chinese history abolished the Tang Dynasty and established the Great Zhou Dynasty, she was the first to take 16 scholars, and personally planned the examination in Luocheng Hall.

Prior to this, the scientific examination was implemented with a system of ambiguous names, and the tribute examination papers were all ambiguous to prevent the examiners from cheating.Wu Zetian said that examiners should be trusted, and the name system should be abolished. In fact, he wanted to select scholars with leniency.At that time, the chief examiner reported his ranking to Wu Zetian with a memorial, and the one who ranked first in the memorial was called the number one scholar.

However, in the Tang Dynasty there were more than a hundred kinds of subjects, and each subject held a palace examination, with 360 lines, and the number one scholar was selected in each line. Therefore, the number one scholar in Jinshi has not yet achieved the exclusive status.

However, in this dynasty, the status of the Jinshi Department has been greatly improved, and it is the least likely to encounter the so-called "transparent ceiling" when promoted to an official.

When Wang Wei knew that he had won the first place in the provincial test, he was very confident that he could pass the provincial test, but the moment the result came out, he still felt a sense of relief, and finally changed the fate of "myself".

Ever since he lost his father, he has been in a state of depression, struggling in this huge city of Chang'an, calculating and calculating, just for this moment.

Passing the provincial test means that there will be a bright future in the future, while failing the ranking means that he, who has already gained a great reputation, will suffer the greatest backlash. He can only go around begging for mercy from the powerful like a dog.

The nightmare will really play out in his reality. He will never forget what happened to the original "Wang Wei". I had to lower my proud head, and through King Qi's relationship, follow Princess Yuzhen's path... Even if such a thing happened two or three years later.

This kind of loss of initiative, Wang Wei will never let it happen again. He wants to control his life, not just talking about it.

After learning that he had passed the provincial examination, he didn't think of the bet with the Princess Her Royal Highness who gave him a headache for the first time, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to the preparation for the palace examination.

In his opinion, that Princess Yuzhen is indeed beautiful and attractive, but she can't stop his desire to pursue power. Only with power, the rest of the appendages will follow.

Without power, he would never be able to hold his head up in front of certain people, and he would not be able to take the initiative. On the contrary, he with power could make those people bow their heads.

Ten days later, the palace test finally came.
