That's right, Xie Zhongyuan decided to go to Chang'an to take the exam.

As soon as the news was exchanged, the young people immediately became friends with Xie Zhongyuan.

The reason is very simple, because they only have the same feeling in their hearts at this moment.

Your Majesty is the true saint!

In ancient times, Yao and Shun were nothing more than this!

And at the same time.

The entire Tang Dynasty and the vast number of poor scholars all planned to participate, just like Xie Zhongyuan, and celebrate together!

Of course, some people are dissatisfied with this matter...

For example, in Chang'an City...

...

Li Er has a team faction that truly belongs to his own, such as Wei Zheng and others.

He didn't need to organize eunuch organizations like the Ten Eunuchs like the two Emperors Huan Ling, but he could also grasp the information trends, so he quickly learned how the people responded.

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be expanded..."

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task should first arrange venues for candidates coming to Chang'an to avoid bandits taking the opportunity..."

"Your Majesty, this matter has many interests. Be careful and do not learn from Sui Yang..."

"Okay OK!"

At night, in the palace of Ganlu,

Li Er waved his hand, "You guys, you all have some good things, and you all look like dead faces. Are the people happy scaring you?"

"You are all right. But tonight, I don't want to read any memorials. Wei Buzi Fang Xuanling Du Keming, you guys will fall down without drinking, and no one is allowed to leave the palace today!"

Wei Zheng and others looked at each other and smiled, but shook their heads helplessly.

His Majesty is always a little teenager, but... this is why they follow Li Er.

Of course, after celebration, Du Ruhui, as the Minister of War, still refused Li Er's proposal to keep everyone drinking.

"Keming, no, Du Ruhui, Wei Buzi doesn't get sick today, are you starting again, right?"

"Your Majesty, because this is a great joy, how can I sit down and lose in the middle of this matter?"

“…”

Of course, Li Er knew what Wei Zheng was referring to.

Such a big deal, if all the aristocratic families don’t get into trouble, that’s all.

In fact, in his heart, Emperor Yang of Sui was not a foolish monarch. He also planned to do many things that Emperor Yang of Sui did.

But he still looked down on Emperor Yang of Sui because he was too cerebral palsy.

If you don’t do anything, who will happen if you don’t have any trouble?

Therefore, he did not scold or force Du Ruhui to stay. After all, he was the Minister of War and the most special one in the team.

"Okay, you can just watch these things."

"Yes, Your Majesty. If there is a half-point difference, Keming will come and see you!"

After Du Ruhui finished speaking, he did not leave the hall step by step like when he was in court, and walked away quickly.

Neither of him nor Li Er said what "these things" were.

However, both of them knew it was the case of guarding against the aristocratic family to cause trouble!

Li Er looked at Du Ruhui's departure back and said without bragging, and was a little nervous.

After all, how long has the Tang Dynasty been established?

Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty, several imperial edicts went down to become the "XX Road Anti-King" in minutes, but he had to observe it.

...

at the same time.

There is an inconspicuous building in the south of Chang'an City.

"Fang" is a residential community in the Tang Dynasty, with all kinds of people living in it.

Due to different identities, the location of the yard is also different.

For example, those with wealthy families or those with official positions are naturally closer to the palace.

And those who are farther away are naturally ordinary people.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the workshop in Chengnan.

At first glance, the walls and buildings are ordinary, but very tall, and you can't tell how luxurious and prosperous it is.

But the interior decoration,

It is magnificent, but it is close to the inner courtyard of the palace!

The residents of this shop are several major families in the Tang Dynasty today.

There are many people involved.

Indeed, among the five surnames and seven hopes, they are not the highest-ranking official position in Chang'an, but the more outstanding middle-aged generation.

But at this moment, several old men gathered in the yard.

Beside these old men, there were beautiful maids around them, and there were many beautiful faces, all of them.

When pounding legs and pinching shoulders, each old man is four or five beauties serving.

The appearance and figure are a little worse than the word "stunning", such as the hair color is not pure and bright enough, and the figure is not charming enough. This is a pity. I can only do some rough work of pouring tea and water, sweeping the floor and wiping the table.

"Li family children, Li family children...ah!"

A long sigh.

One of the old men exhaled in a turbid breath.

The other old men also frowned.

"Brother Cui, why did this Li family think of the imperial examination? The previous dynasty Emperor Yang of Sui was not far away. Wasn't he afraid of the country's destruction?"

"It's not like this. Li's child, Brother Wang, you don't understand."

"Oh? What are your opinions on Brother Cui?"

"He, Li Er, dared to enroll the imperial examination, so that these mud legs pollute the sages' studies. Why did he come from? He just bought people's hearts and gained fame and wanted to attack a few acres of thin fields in our family!"

"It must be so!"

"Brother Cui!"

"snort!"

"This Li family is very familiar with the matter. Can the Li family in Longxi succeed today? Isn't it because we support all kinds of anti-kings and destroy Yang Guang for him?"

"If we had no support from us, what could the Li family have accomplished?"

"Don't he know that I wish him a rebellion, isn't it because Yang Guang is obsessed with the imperial examination? He isn't he afraid that we will rebel again?"

"What are he afraid of? He has bought all the mud legs. He feels that he is invincible."

"The foolish monarch! Shake the foundation of the country!"

For a moment, in the hall,

The crowd was in a raging mood and scolded Li Er!

"But in this way...what should I do?"

"This is not easy? Don't rush to rebel, but this imperial examination... is not necessary to rebel to deal with it. Can you tell me how much a book cost?"

The old man from the Cui family looked at several old friends with a smile.

"This... twenty taels of gold?"

"Don't you know, ten taels?"

"Books are the ways to pass on the way of the saints. How can they be ten taels and twenty taels? I remember it is a hundred taels of gold."

None of these people said right.

The old man in Cui family sucked his hands and laughed, "You have been in high positions for a long time, and you don't even know the price of the book. The price of this book is about five to ten taels of silver per book!"

"What?! So cheap?!"

"How many taels of silver are needed for this...the saint's learning?"

"It's so cheap, I don't know how many mud legs I have read the saint's learning..."

"The rituals collapse and music are broken, and the rituals collapse and music are broken!"

"Brother Cui is proficient in business methods, and he is indeed better than me!"

The head of the Cui family joked that several old friends did not know the price of the goods. However, he did not refute the statement that the price of books was too cheap, but just smiled calmly.

Finally, I will say.

"You don't know that these five taels of silver have been spent on food and accommodation for most families for half a year."

"So few? How did these people survive?"
