Chapter 426 Choosing the Emperor's Husband

The matter of Taiyuan Academy and Guoxue set the tone. Jiang Yuanxi personally wrote the imperial decree and handed it over to Jiang Boyong as the Minister's Order to complete the matter as soon as possible.

As for the aristocratic family's rebound, Jiang Yuanxi also had plans, if she jumped too hard, she didn't mind the bloodshed in Chang'an City.

In the end, there was nothing she was worried about, and the family didn't object, but became strangely silent. After thinking about it carefully, she understood why the family was silent.

There are too many vacancies in the imperial court, the imperial examination is about to be held, and the family is eyeing the imperial examination to obtain scholars. They dare not make a fuss on the cusp of this storm. If she is annoyed, they will order their nephews not to participate in the imperial examination. This is the family's responsibility sinner.

One radish and one pit, the sooner the pit is occupied, the sooner it can benefit the family. Anyway, many aristocratic families think that even if His Majesty starts Chinese studies, it will take seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, to see the fastest initial results. It's hard to say what the situation will be like now, why bother to make a fuss about something so long ago?

There was enough time left for them, and such self-confidence was blown to pieces in the imperial examination held in mid-March.

There were three rounds of imperial examinations, Jiang Yuanxi, in order to better select capable ministers instead of nerds, also called Gu Yidan into the palace to discuss the content of the imperial examinations, and it took a full day of discussion before it was finalized.

The examination questions for the three rounds of the imperial examination were all written by Jiang Yuanxi himself, and those who survived after the three rounds could become officials, but the starting point for becoming an official depended on the palace examination in mid-April.

Among the people on the list who can go to Chang'an Palace to participate in the palace examination, [-]% come from one place - Danyang County Taiyuan Academy, the remaining [-]% are from aristocratic families, and the last [-]% are from other places.

A place that can match half of the aristocratic family suddenly appeared, and many aristocratic families were stunned. They all thought that the students in Danyang County had obtained the test questions from the empress in advance—who let everyone in the world know that Danyang County is the empress Longxing? place?
In case the Empress felt that Danyang County could not lose her face, she secretly gave the exam questions to those students, and then the group of people in Danyang County could shine in the imperial examination.

Such a voice had just appeared, and Duan Gong, who took a break from his busy schedule to care about his protégé, spat on his face.

The old man was busy compiling "Hundreds of Great Ceremonies", if he hadn't learned that the students from Danyang County Tai Academy who he had taught and grown up had all come to Chang'an City to take the imperial examination, he wouldn't even have time to pay attention to the imperial examination.

On the first day the students from Danyang County came to Chang'an City, Duke Duan specially took the time to meet them, mainly to convey one meaning: he was waiting to celebrate for them after they won the imperial examination gold list.

After the results came out, Duan Gong was very satisfied, and the smile on his face never stopped. He felt that the students in Danyang County gave him a lot of face. Rumors of cheating in the imperial examination, the smile disappeared immediately, and King Kong appeared with angry eyes.

Duan Gong announced to the world in this way: "There is a Taiyuan Academy in Danyang County, which is in the same line as the Taiyuan Academy in Chang'an City, and even the Taiyuan Academy in Danyang County is the ancestral home. Enlightenment is taught by the old man himself. Do you think they cheated in the imperial examinations? Could it be that they are questioning the knowledge of the old man?
Dissatisfied?Do not believe?It's very simple, you come up with the questions yourself, let those dolls and your children answer the questions together in front of you, if they can't answer, the old man will personally drive this group of disgraceful and unworthy students back.Who are you burying? "

Duan Gong used his own reputation as a guarantee, these rumors disappeared quickly, and no one dared to doubt Duan Gong's knowledge, but this matter did not end there.Many aristocratic families were not convinced, holding their breath and preparing to win the palace examination. Hearing that His Majesty set the questions on the spot in the palace examination, they didn't believe that the group of people in Danyang County hadn't shown their feet.

And at the end of April, the results of the Yong Dynasty's first imperial examination for scholars came out.

The No. [-] scholar came from Jiang Shizi, the second place came from Taiyuan College in Danyang County, and Tanhua was the son of the family.

Although the first place is not from Danyang County, the family members are not happy with this result, because even though the No. [-] scholar was born in the royal family, he and the No. [-] are classmates—that is, the No. [-] scholar also studied at the Taiyuan Academy in Danyang County.

And among the second-class Jinshi, all the people from Danyang Taiyuan Academy are listed. As for the same Jinshi, there are no people from Danyang Taiyuan Academy at all, and the family members are actually compared.

Now many aristocratic families have the idea of ​​sending people to find out what happened to the Tai Academy in Danyang County.

In fact, it is not to blame for such a result of the selection of scholars. Jiang Yuanxi's selection of scholars for the imperial examination is more about being able to be a minister, even if he is not a capable minister, at least he is able to do practical things.
In Jiang Yuanxi's cognition, he needs to understand farming, water conservancy, arithmetic, etc., and these are all reflected in the exam questions. The family members don't know how Jiang Yuanxi will take the exam, but these have been taught in the Imperial College of Danyang County. Yes, Jiang Yuanxi didn't tell them the exam questions, but it didn't bother them.

However, it is not common for the east wind to overwhelm the west wind. When the aristocratic family has figured out the content of the imperial examination, the next time the imperial examination is held, the students in Danyang County may not be able to pass the family.

In a word, it is still insufficient.

But Jiang Yuanxi was already very satisfied with this result. Danyang County was originally the land of Longxing, and the people in Danyang County were loyal to her. When they became officials, they would only serve her more faithfully.

With these people in the first few years of laying the foundation of the Dayong Dynasty, she was much more buoyant.

After putting all those who passed the imperial examinations into the yamen, the Dayong Dynasty finally began to operate rapidly, and Jiang Yuanxi, who was too busy to touch the ground, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Before she can relax, there will be another moth.

This time it was neither the courtiers making noise, nor the family acting as a demon. The person who made the moth was the elder of the Jiang clan.

These people, as a family of old people, are Jiang Yuanxi's grandfathers in terms of seniority, and they were all canonized as princes by her. More than a dozen clan elders jointly signed a letter, asking her to elect the emperor's husband and give birth to a prince as soon as possible, so as to stabilize the country and reassure the people. .

After such a request came out, everyone suddenly realized that the empress was already twenty years old. Even if she was a young lady of a family, she would have married and had children at this age. Previously, everyone was busy building a dynasty and a country, so they all ignored this point. Zheng Youniang saw Jiang Yuanxi She was so busy every day that she couldn't stop, she only cared about her body and bones, now after hearing Elder Zong's letter, Zheng Youniang also started to think about it.

Every move of Chang'an Palace attracts the attention of many people, almost half a day after Jiang's elder raised the matter, all the aristocratic families received the wind.

"The empress chooses the emperor's husband. This is a good opportunity. If our child can be the emperor's husband, the empress will give birth to a child. In the future"
