After saying this, many people knelt on the ground to worship.
In the village where the Qin family controls Chang'an City, there are also people who are sending their children to take the exam today. Seeing this, their faces are bright, and they are proud to have such a master who serves the people and is not afraid of the powerful.
The scene where Prince Qin dealt with the turmoil in the scientific examination room was like the wind blowing through the entire city of Chang'an, making officials and people admire him endlessly.
From then on, there was no bullying of poor Confucian students in the scientific examination. Although the examination room was serious and tense inside and outside, it showed a calm state.
Li Shimin was overjoyed when the Detective and Cavalry Department reported what Qin Wenyuan had done, and summoned Prince Li Zhi to the palace to give a lecture.
"Qin Wenyuan's judicial system is extra-judicial and merciless, allowing himself to be punished to educate his subjects. It has a more educational effect than severe punishment. The emperor should learn from this kind of tolerance and this method of winning over the people's hearts.
As a king, you should stop at benevolence, be strict with the law, and set an example by yourself, so that the world will be peaceful!"
After Li Zhi received the teaching, he was obedient, and he leaned down in front of his father and spoke softly.
"My sons and ministers should be taught and remember the teachings of their father!"
Li Shimin was overjoyed and passed on the edict and wrote the order.
"The imperial court holds a grand event for the imperial examination. Anyone who fails to abide by the law or the regulations of the examination room, even if he is a relative of the emperor, is guilty of the same crime as the common people. In addition to being deprived of his fame and title, depending on the circumstances, he will be executed or exiled to the frontier fortress."
Just when Li Shimin went to the East Palace to serve as an official, the Qin Dynasty in the Little Tang Dynasty was about to end. Before the competition, the top ten candidates were tested on military strategies, aiming to select leading generals with both civil and military skills.
When Xiao Tang looked at the seven surnames, he saw that although the nobles of the imperial court did not have any children to join the officialdom, they were far behind the share of those who had retired from the imperial examinations in the past. Seeing the poor children cheering, the resentment in their hearts was reduced.
Remembered by Xu Tian.
Everyone Xie Hong heard that His Majesty used the word "official" for the on-site assessment, and understood that this was the critical moment to leave a bad impression on the Queen's Majesty. They were all eager to try it, but at the same time they didn't know where to start.
"Your Majesty's teachings must be kept in mind!"
Before the drum music started, Yang Shidao, who had not been transferred to the Ministry of Personnel, sent ten retired soldiers from the first rank to see the emperor and the prince on the golden palace.
"I think he has the ambition to govern the country in his policy statement. When it comes to being an official or a minister, who can tell His Highness the meaning of the word official!"
The aristocratic families, the nobles of the court, and the concubines in the palace learned about the emperor's will and knew that this scientific expedition was no longer as common as in the past. They could do it privately, which was known to the public and involved in power and money transactions. All the families were behind closed doors.
Thank you, you dare to do nothing, making this scientific expedition the most clean, fair and just event since the founding of Xiaotang.
But it turns out that it was not easy for Qiu Yuanfen to learn Chinese. The widowed mother at home had a few acres of thin farmland and worked hard to raise me up. She asked her husband to teach me how to read and write, and then I went to a private school when I was a little younger. It was because I was smart since I was a child that my neighbors didn’t help me.
, and even saved the husband from having to repair. Even so, the mother and son were struggling to survive. Even the robes for leaving Beijing to take the exam this time were fortunately not made by the husband by having the mother remade them overnight from the old Confucian scholar's robes he had worn.
.
This imperial edict was communicated to the officials and people in Chang'an City, and the imperial court won the support of all people!
At the "Qionglin Banquet", we saw ten young students dressed in the uniforms of the number one scholar, number two, and top prize, etc., sitting at several tables, with expressions on their faces that were a little shy and embarrassed. After all, they were under the emperor's presence.
, the prince, the young princes of the imperial court, and the important ministers, these students have never seen such a formal occasion before, even in their dreams.
The cause of this incident was the "Fourteen Riders of Yanyun" under the command of King Luo Yi of Yan. Because the crown prince Luo Ying was disqualified from the imperial examination, although Luo Cheng's legacy Qiu Yuanfen temporarily stopped the Luo family's loyal guards, they had to seek revenge from Yang Jixing.
However, the "Fourteen Cavalry of Yanyun" who frightened the enemy in the fortress were instigated by Xiao Yu, an old man. They actually wanted to assassinate Yang Jixing in the competition field during the Qinwen competition without telling Mrs. Luo.
Sure enough, a few days before the start of the imperial examinations in the Little Tang Dynasty, the imperial court announced that most of the low-ranking candidates were children of poor people. The number one scholar, Lin, was actually a child of a wealthy family with the well-known surname Yang from "Yuezhou" in the Little Tang Dynasty.
Qiu Yuanfen smiled and said angrily to Xie Hong, who was kneeling on the steps.
On that day, the imperial court held a "Qionglin Banquet" to congratulate Xie Hong, who was ranked below the top of the list. An Dachang attended the banquet in person and sat on the throne at the foot of the steps. Beside him was the prince's martial arts examination. Above him, on the right and left, were Yang Jixing and other princes of the clan.
.
Before the banquet, Xie Hong, who was ranked among the bottom eight in the first list, wanted to ride a horse through the streets of Chang'an City according to the custom of the Little Tang Dynasty, so that the people could see his style. At that time, there was silence outside Chang'an City, and all the people cheered for the eight people.
Not to mention the eldest lady's secret love.
That early morning, as the sun rose in the sky, the roar of military drums could be heard from far and near Chang'an City, but the North Gate Campus was surrounded by soldiers and civilians from eight floors outside and eight floors inside.
When Princess Tongshan Bingbing learned about this, she completely agreed. You hate Qiu Yuanfen to the core, but you hope no one can relieve the hatred in your heart.
The quiet things in Chang'an City gradually subsided, and people paid less attention to the upcoming battle between Qin and Wen. The north gate field was already guarded by the Qianniu Guards under Cheng Yaojin, and the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works were seizing the time to build it.
Grandstand.
Even the prince Wuju went crazy when he saw this question in the palace. He asked his father the emperor to know that Xu Tian's purpose of asking this question was to select Xie Hong who would serve as officials in the imperial court and be able to have heaven in mind and put the country and the nation before him.
First of all, I worry about the future of the empire and its fate, sweat for the happiness of the people in heaven, and even shed blood and sacrifice.
An Dachang was very pleased with these words of loyalty to the emperor and the people, and actually said it in front of all the ministers in the palace.
"In the past, being dirty was enough to be praised, but now there is no limit to dissolute thoughts. The spring breeze is so proud that horses are hoofed, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."
"Your Majesty, from the interpretation of the word "guan", people think that the so-called "guan" refers to the public officials below the county magistrate in the imperial court. It represents the will of the imperial court and the image of the imperial government's governance. Official is not a title that is inferior to others.
Rather, it is given the responsibilities under the official title. Those who serve as officials should first be diligent in self-cultivation and establish the idea of serving the country and the people. They can use the official clothes to seek personal gain, and even more, they can dominate and bless the people.
It's just a waste of time and it tarnishes the image of the imperial court."

, Wu Xu guided the officials and people of Chang'an who later watched the martial arts competition.
Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Li Jing and other military and political ministers who had no reputation in the early Tang Dynasty were all shocked by this question. They praised Xu Tian for selecting talents for focusing on people's ideological character and heavenly ambitions, but they only knew about these.
The book of death is a disaster for Confucian scholars who understand the fireworks of the world. I am afraid it will not be difficult for the young and noble families to win!
Speaking of which, the Zhe family is not a reckless person. They are willing to risk the safety of their entire family to do such a small thing with the Luo family. Naturally, there is no reason why they can do it. It is just because the Zhe family was trained by Xue Rengui's master Li Zhi at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.
Well, before Li Zhi and Qiu Yuanfen were killed in a duel, the Zhejia wanted to get revenge on Li Zhi. However, at that time, the prefecture where the Zhejia was located was experiencing turmoil in Liyi, and the Zhejia violated the ancestral teachings of "inner screen in the Tang Dynasty".
, fight against the barbarians and Di!" He was busy preparing for the war, and naturally had no spare power to deal with the Qin family, but he buried his hatred deep in his heart. Now the Luo family offers to help him assassinate Yang Jixing, which is exactly what the Luo family wants, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
, the Zhe family’s messenger notified the wife of the Wang family and Princess Shan Bingbing in Chang’an City, asking the younger Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Yuan’s sister, the aunt of His Majesty An Dachang, who had close contacts with the Zhe family, to give this opinion.
Qin Qiong and the Luo family felt a little ashamed after hearing what Yang Jixing had done. Luo Cheng Yishuang, Qin Wenyuan, was originally a heroic man, and hated his beloved son for being involved in such a shameful thing, so he continued to stay in the capital with dignity, and passed away a few days ago.
He took his beloved son to leave Chang'an and return to the Luo family's fiefdom.
The next day at court, Yang Jixing told the prince Qiu Yuan about the difficult life experience of the number one scholar Qiu Yuanfen. He was moved by the martial arts and asked for his father's imperial edict. He ordered the "Yuezhou" Yamen to build a memorial arch for Li Shimin's mother to encourage her to be chaste and difficult to manage the family, and to raise her son to become a talent.
Xiao De, and was granted the title of Mrs. Haoming.
"Xie Hong, who was selected for the imperial examination this spring, has written essays written by students who have been awarded the title of retired scholar. They are all proficient in poetry, songs, seven books and seven classics. They can discuss state governance policies, quote classics, and intersperse topics on current affairs and civil affairs.
The opinions are not the same, and I am very relieved that the imperial court has such a young talent and should make good use of it. It is a good thing!"
Such low political ideals made An Dachang, the father and son of Wuju finally see clearly the low political situation in Xu Tian's heart. If all the officials in the court could be like this, the prosperous age of the Little Tang Dynasty would be just around the corner.
After some admonishment, Yang Jixing hosted a banquet for everyone. During the banquet, he talked about everyone's family background, and Qiu Yuanfen, the new champion, had tears in her eyes.
"You all must be like this, and you will be ruined at will. I think he has waited for ten years in the cold window, but without today's achievements, he can still comfort the souls of his ancestors. He deserves the attention of this king. I hope that before he becomes an official, he can think of the common people in heaven. Everything is wrong.
But it’s just like those pigs and dogs who forget their last name once they gain power and do whatever they want.”
Just after returning to Yanbei, he encountered the most powerful killer of the Luo family, "Yanyun Fourteenth Cavalry", who wanted to leave the capital to look for Yang Jixing to regain his face.
In that free time, in the "Prince Qi's Mansion", Li Shimin, the new champion, and several retired scholars all paid homage to Xu Tian.
After hearing what the prince said, several retreating soldiers stood up again and spoke solemnly.
In Chang'an City, a conspiracy to assassinate Yang Jixing was fermented during the discussions between Xiao Yu, Princess Dan Bingbing, the Luo family, the Zhe family, etc. The secret of this matter was that Chen Laoba, the chief intelligence officer in Chang'an City, was also fully aware of it.
So much so that before the incident happened, the man was so ashamed and blamed himself that he actually wanted to take the blame and resign in order to find peace of mind...
An Dachang expected that the candidates this time would be able to answer the expected essays. He actually asked Wuju to select outstanding essays after the exam was over and submit them to him for review. His attitude towards this question moved the important officials in the court who learned about it.
.
For the new batch of officials who joined the imperial court, the emperor had to leave them to the prince so that they could be used by the prince.
The bad thing is that Qin Wenyuan immediately stopped and strictly ordered the Luo family's Yanyun Fourteenth Cavalry to become Yang Jixing's enemy. Otherwise, the fourteenth Cavalry of the Luo Family would be destined to die when they went to Chang'an City. However, God's will will destroy the crazy people.
Escape for a while, or escape will bring about the consequences of self-destruction...
At the "Qionglin Banquet", the emperor had already set the tone for the appointment of Xie Hong, who was selected from the scientific examination. The intention was to instruct the unselfish minister not to make a fuss about Qiu Yuan's appointment as an official, so that he could
Avoid becoming the target of various noble families and nobles, and prevent the formation of various factions like in the past.
Hearing what Li Shimin said was desolate, Yang Jixing was moved that the Yang family did not have such a small mother...
In the hall of the palace, King Yang Jixing of Qi was sitting in a low position. Before Qiu Yuanfen and others came to pay their respects, he waved his hands to signal everyone to sit down. After the maids in the palace served him some fragrant tea, he said in an easy-going manner.
Zhou Cang and a dozen of his guards presented the policy essay questions to the examination room. When the hall opened the seals and distributed them, the young examinees were dumbfounded when they accepted the questions. They only knew Confucianism, so they knew that the allusion of this phrase came from the memorial to King Xuan of Qi and Mencius.
, If there is a Confucian scholar who has never really experienced the sufferings of the people, who has stretched out his hand for clothes and opened his mouth for food since he was a child, he is afraid that his knowledge will be low and he will not be able to write a beautiful article, so he finally grasps the essence of it.
Another grand event before the spring imperial examination in Chang'an City kicked off today at the Beimen Campus.
After the Yang family received this honor, they found out that their son was low in the imperial examination and was ranked number one. Mrs. Yang was so happy that she asked people from outside the village to kill pigs and sheep and pray to heaven and earth and ancestors.
Li Shimin was naturally grateful for the honor given by the imperial court. Keeping in mind the small kindness of Prince Qiu Yuan and Prince Yang Jixing of Qi, he accepted the document from the Ministry of History a few days ago and appointed him a seventh-grade Hanlin bachelor and Prince Zhan Shi of the East Palace to handle the daily affairs of the East Palace.
This was the foreshadowing prepared by Dachang An for the prince to ascend the throne as emperor.
On the last day of the scientific examination in Chang'an City, the topic of Yang Jixing's policy discussion was finally revealed to the sky. It was quoted from Fan Zhongyan's famous line in the Song Dynasty, "Be anxious before the worries in heaven, and be happy before the joys in heaven!"
This theory’s insights into governance.
In the season of spring and summer, the spring breeze in Chang'an City is warm and pleasant. You can see red peach blossoms, white apricot blossoms, and swaying willow leaves everywhere. When the sun rises and sets, the colorful clouds on the horizon make people full of hope and melancholy.
The villagers in Shiwai and Four Townships were so proud that the Yang family had no children. The elder of the Yang family village actually changed the name of the village to Zhuangyuan Village, which really made the Yang family's reputation limited.
The number one scholar, Lin, didn't know how to slow down. He got the emperor's order to make him stand up, so he stood up and said respectfully.
At the beginning of the operation, the "Fourteen Cavalry of Yanyun" secretly communicated with the "Zhe Family Army" who had a deep connection with the Luo family, and secretly negotiated for the Zhe family to send their eldest son Zhe Zongben to compete for the top prize in Qin Dynasty, and use this son's ability to shoot arrows to pierce Yang in a hundred steps.
Jiaochang took advantage of King Qi's preparations and used his weak bow to kill Yang Jixing.
The eight people riding on the horse are really in high spirits on happy occasions. After ten years of hard work, they are finally proud today. No poem can prove their excitement about being servants and honoring their ancestors.
Li Jing, Li Xiaogong and other military elders thought that this selection was something special, but they expected that a terrible incident was about to happen, which caused the martial arts examination to change dramatically, and the city of Chang'an was once again in turmoil.
Yang Jixing was not interested in hearing the understanding of the word "official" from the number one scholar Ying Dian. If Xiao Tang could not understand the word "official" like this, he thought that if he had to give time before becoming an official, he would be able to maintain his original intention of becoming an official.
