Chapter 29 All the children of officials above the fifth rank take part in the Bietou test
Chapter 29 All children of officials above fifth rank will participate in the special examination
As soon as the court meeting ended, a group of officials from the Song Dynasty began to talk to each other before they even left the palace.
"...What does Your Majesty want to do? He actually issued such a ridiculous decree."
"This is not ridiculous. I guess the officials feel that there is a lack of vitality in the court..."
Hearing the description of vigorous vitality, several officials grinned and murmured repeatedly.
God is so full of vitality, just a bunch of second-generation and third-generation sub-officials, one or two idle and lackeys fighting cocks.
If there are one or two people who are honest and don't cause trouble, they can be regarded as the best among the officials' children, okay?
"This time, the official family will let all the children of officials of fifth rank and above in Tokyo, as long as they are over ten years old.
Everyone needs to take the special examination in order to participate in the Jinke examination at the end of next month. Isn’t this a joke?”
"As the officials have said, those officials' sons are in Tokyo all day long, doing whatever they want and doing whatever they want."
"Haha, maybe it was the only son of Captain Gao's family who beat up Cai Liulang three times a few days ago, causing a storm in the city and upsetting the official family..."
"That's why I issued such an edict, just to punish the officials and discipline their children to study well, so that they don't get into trouble again."
"Come, sit down in front of me and carry it on your back. Let me see how much you can carry it."
Yang Jian's words actually entered Zhao Ji's heart. He nodded slightly to Yang Jian with pleasure and looked outside the palace door.
"Some..." Cai Laoliu wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied in a low voice.
"You don't have to worry too much. Ming Jing Ke may have it, but Jin Shi Ke will only have those officials and officials? Haha."
#####
"My father is looking for me?"
It would be great to be able to stand out in Ming Jing Ke with one or two, Jin Shi Ke, tsk tsk..."
I am busy with government affairs, busy with party struggles, busy with intrigues, busy with corruption...
"Ah, this..." Cai Laoliu's face froze, and when he saw the sharp look from his father, he could only brace himself and said.
"I am waiting for the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette. I am afraid that I will be so tired that I will vomit blood..."
"Come on, come on, Rokuro, come here, I remember asking you how your studies are going.
Mr. Cai, who was already so busy that he had no time to discipline his children, looked at his fat son with a very suspicious expression.
"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are waxing and waning, the stars and constellations are arrayed. Cold comes and summer comes, autumn...autumn..."
"No more?" Cai Jing, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, began to grind his teeth.
Cai Laoliu, who felt sleepy when he read a book and became energetic when he ate, made Cai Laoliu, who gained weight too fast, start to feel nervous.
"The officials are wise, not to mention the officials are doing this for the sake of the officials' children. It is understandable..."
That is, as long as officials and officials can recite the entire "Thousand Character Essay", they can take part in the provincial examination at the end of next month.
"The master is not unhappy, and I feel that the master seems to be very happy and impatient."
One hand had already picked up the shiny and heavy ruler, and Cai Laoliu was sweating.
Since I went to Gaofu to become a disciple that day and came back, I have been staying at home to grow up these days, and I really haven't done anything bad.
"Thirty-old Ming Jing, fifty-young Jinshi, those officials' children between ten and eighteen years old.
Zhao Ji remembered that Yang Jian had come to report to him about Gao Zhang's child's academic performance.
After wiping his lips, Cai Laoliu hurried to his father's study.
"Autumn harvest..." Cai Jing, whose face turned dark, couldn't help but remind Cai Laoliu, who was stuttering.
Zhao Ji suddenly turned his head, looked at Yang Jian, and showed a gentle and gratifying smile towards this confidant.
"Children can indeed carry some."
As soon as he entered the study, he saw his father copying a thin book and waving to him.
"That's true, but the problem is, it's also stated in the will.
And he was smiling so hard that it made my heart tingle, and I always felt like I was going to suffer a loss.
He simply sat down behind the desk, raised his hand and pointed at Cai Laoliu, pointing in front of him.
Cai Yao, the sixth child, finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he would not suffer any physical pain today.
The eunuch standing at the entrance of the palace was listening to the high-minded talks of these officials from the Song Dynasty.
"Is my father unhappy?"
When Yang Jian heard this, his eyelids jumped wildly. Indeed, he was the only one who knew, but he had to keep his mouth shut.
Otherwise, even if you don't protect your head, it will be light. You are just a eunuch, a servant of the official family, and your life and death will depend on the official's thoughts.
"How many will you carry?"
"Dad, the child has just eaten and is a little sleepy. Do you want to carry it back later?"
"The autumn harvest is gone, the leap years are over, law, law..."
If you can't even recite an article like "The Thousand-Character Essay" for beginners, then it's a waste of time to take the exam.
I saw my own father's eyes filled with fierce light, as if he wanted to eat people.
"Autumn harvest, autumn harvest..."
In this way, Gao Zhang will definitely be able to pass the special examination. Then, he will be asked to take the imperial examination for Jinshi. At that time...
You once said that you can already memorize "The Thousand-Character Classic", right?"
This disciple of mine can already recite the entire Thousand Character Essay.
Zhao Ji couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. "That's fine, let them make their own guesses."
Shengsheng made Yang Jian laugh on the spot. He was full of confusion in his heart. Why did the official laugh?
I shuddered subconsciously, and quickly stuffed the remaining pastries into my mouth to calm down my shock.
"In this way, no one will think that I am using any tricks to inherit my legacy."
"If those officials and officials who think they are very high-minded want to make a fool of themselves, they can go to the Jinshi and Ming Jing Ke to try their skills."
Cai Jing looked at the fat son who had not yet wiped off the oil stains on his mouth, and his tone was already a little unhappy.
Yang Jian quickly came to Zhao Ji, who was standing and moving a little stiffly, and quietly reported the discussions of the ministers outside the palace.
"Um?!"
The questions in this special test are quite simple, and it can even be said to be an open-book test.
Cai Laoliu, who was eating delicious cakes in the house, heard a servant coming to report.
As long as the children of officials who have passed the other examinations can participate in any subject examination."
I couldn't help but curl my lips, quietly entered the hall, and whispered to Yang Jian in a low voice.
"……a little bit?"
"???" Cai Jing almost broke his nose in anger. How the hell do you know how to memorize this?
"You can't even memorize ten sentences, how dare you tell your father that you can memorize it?!"
"The child only said he could memorize, but he didn't say he could memorize everything." Cai Laoliu, who was very rebellious, couldn't help but retorted.
The next moment, there was another burst of banging sounds in Prime Minister Cai's study, and Cai Laoliu's energetic howling...
