No matter how turbulent the court is, the examinations still go on.
Soon, the second round of examinations was completed.
All files were sealed and then sent to the new city located to the east of Weiyang Palace.
Here, thousands of scholars and officials from Shaofu, Jing Zhaoyin, Zong Zheng, and Taichang are already ready.
Three people form a group, cross-check and score.
Every time a copy is completed, it is immediately sealed and sent to Taichang Yamen by a dedicated person. Taichang himself supervises a total of more than 300 statistical officials to compile the results.
The scholars had a short rest.
Before the results of the second round are announced, they can have fun and have fun.
As a result, Chang'an City's commodity economy and consumer market immediately exploded.
In just three days, these scholars, their families, and servants consumed 70% of the goods in the nine markets of Chang'an.
They bought 300,000 barrels of various types of wine, more than 7,000 stones of meat, and 320,000 pieces of cloth, including 3,000 pieces of Sichuan brocade and more than 4,000 pieces of cotton cloth.
In addition, porcelain, books, even luxury carriages, and various types of jewelry and jades are also out of stock.
Obviously, some people are not here to take the exam at all.
They came to Chang'an to buy things under the guise of taking exams.
The merchants of all sizes in the nine cities of Chang'an were naturally delighted.
The entire examination period is the happiest time of the year for them.
So much so that someone once said: Even if the business in the nine markets of Chang'an is capital-guaranteed for the other eleven months, you can still make huge profits in the month of taking the exam.
This is indeed true.
Examinations over the years will create a group of businessmen who become extremely rich.
Some lucky people even get rich out of nowhere.
Just like this year, a small businessman from Qi State named Kong Zhong brought a group of conchs picked up by fishermen on the beach from Qi State to Chang'an for sale.
These conchs have all kinds of strange and various shapes. They are the kind that no one picks up when they fall on the coast of Qilu.
However, in the eyes of Chang'an and other scholars who came to Chang'an to take the exam, these conches seemed to be treasures of the New World.
It became very popular all of a sudden, and almost every candidate for the scholar examination had one, and the children in the alleys of Chang'an Street were also scrambling to pester their parents to buy a conch.
The tens of thousands of conches brought by Kong Zhong were sold out instantly, with the average price reaching 50 yuan each.
It can be said to be an instant explosion, and he suddenly became an idol and legend sought after by countless people.
These conches were so popular that they even entered the palace and came to Liu Che.
The eldest princess Taotao of Wanyi and the little Duke Chengcheng, who has not yet been titled, are so in love with this novel toy that they have never seen before. The two cute little princesses blow conches everywhere every day.
The sound of these two princesses blowing conches could be heard everywhere inside and outside the palace.
The eunuch below saw that the two young ancestors loved the conch so much, so he went to great lengths to buy dozens of conchs from the market for the two princesses to play with.
Someone even urgently ordered Qi and Anton to immediately send 300 of the best conches they could find to Chang'an.
There is no way, now in this palace, the princes are very quiet, and they are even strictly ordered not to allow anyone to deliberately indulge or flatter.
All the eunuchs who dared to do this were killed!
Only princesses can do whatever they want without any restrictions.
The eunuchs in the palace even discussed privately that the emperor was obviously controlled by his daughter.
The idea of favoring girls over boys is very serious!
But Liu Che now has no time to care and pay attention to the little conch that is popular in Chang'an City.
He returned to Chang'an from Ganquan Palace urgently.
Uncle Tian, the internal history of Guzhong, the official of Guzhong, one of the Six Gentlemen of Handan, the first mountain chief of Taixue, and the famous scholar in the world who once witnessed the rise and fall of King Zhao Zhang Er and Zhang Ao, is no longer alive.
He was lying on the hospital bed, with only the slight rise and fall of his chest proving that he was still alive.
"The Imperial Medical Office must do its best to diagnose and treat Uncle Tian..." Liu Che walked out of Uncle Tian's bedroom and told Shi Rang, the imperial physician who was kneeling at the door.
Although Liu Che himself knew that this was actually just a chat about personnel matters.
Uncle Tian's health has been in rapid decline since last year, but it is already very good that he can hold on until now.
Of course, if the conditions are sufficient, you can intubate and give liquid food, and you may be able to survive for a few more days.
But what's the point of that?
Forcing an old man to leave will only cause the old man and his family members to suffer, and there will be no other benefits.
Therefore, in addition to Tian Mansion, Liu Che ordered his surroundings: "Let the Minister prepare the edict. Once Uncle Tian is unlucky, he will be granted the title of Xin Yehou, with a settlement of 4,100 households. Uncle Tian's son Tian Fan will be the heir, and Uncle Tian will be given the posthumous title: Kang.
For the sake of the people’s well-being!”
In the explanation of the posthumous title, it is said to be "Kang" to bring peace and happiness to the people, and "Kang" is to teach people to be prosperous.
For Uncle Tian, this is a very appropriate and accurate conclusion.
This upright, upright and caring gentleman is one of the few people Liu Che has seen in this world who can fully fulfill the code of conduct required by Confucius.
Throughout his life, whether he was in a high position or was praised by the world, he was always neither humble nor arrogant, and always abided by the bottom line and principles.
Sitting in the cart, Liu Che was in a trance.
He still remembers the scene when he first met this old man, this old gentleman.
He still remembers what he promised to the other party and the late old prime minister Shen Tujia.
"Carry on the unique knowledge of the past saints, create peace for all ages, and recreate the heavenly kingdom and the central dynasty!"
Thinking of this vow made back then, Liu Che couldn't help but shed a tear.
The old ministers left him one by one. After Uncle Tian's death, there was one less person in the world whom he could truly trust and whom he could feel completely at ease with.
The feeling of loneliness came over me instantly.
The emperor is lonely.
Even the person next to you cannot be trusted, and even your son must be wary.
What about ministers?
However, Liu Che also knew that this was his fate.
It started from the day he decided to be the emperor, to take on the world, and to wear the crown.
He was already doomed to be alone, and he was doomed to spend the cold time in loneliness and loneliness.
"The Great Wall is still there today, but Qin Shihuang was nowhere to be seen..." Liu Che sighed deeply, and the wheels of the cart ran over the road paved with bluestone slabs, leaving a series of heavy wheel marks behind him.
That evening, Liu Che received the news that Uncle Tian had passed away.
After hearing the news, Liu Che had mixed feelings and could not calm down for a long time.
……………………
The death of Uncle Tian heralded the end of Empress Lu's era.
From then on, there were no longer any ministers in the Han Dynasty who had served during the period of Empress Lu.
At the same time, Uncle Tian's death also opened a new chapter in history.
After more than sixty years, the Han Dynasty finally had Xiao He, the second civil servant to become a prince based on his civil service rather than his military exploits.
Although Uncle Tian was only granted a posthumous title, the scholar-officials all over the world were still very happy and excited. Countless people were talking about it, and the scholar-officials were even more excited.
The door to the road to the great princes has been opened with his civility and political achievements.
A prince is not just a symbol of status and status.
It is also a symbol of power!
Every scholar-bureaucrat who aspires to govern will not miss any opportunity to become a prince.
Even if the probability is so small that it can almost be ignored.
Because, in the Han Dynasty, the unspoken rule of politics was that no one should be honored unless he has meritorious service, and he could not worship the prime minister unless he was a noble prince.
I want to be the prime minister, I want to be the one who is under one person and above ten thousand people, who can support the king at the top, calm all the people below, avoid all ministers, and be courteous to all officials. He is called the prime minister, he is called the prime minister, and he is the true minister who governs the world.
You must first become a prince.
This is a hard standard and iron requirement.
It is impossible for any minister who is not a prince to be worshiped as prime minister!
Therefore, for a time, the entire public opinion and the world commemorated and praised Uncle Tian's various deeds.
Giants from hundreds of schools of thought and sects sent their disciples and even came to express their condolences in person.
Even Fu Sheng, who never left Jinan, sent his son to Chang'an to express his condolences.
This spiritual leader of the world's scholar-bureaucrats even quoted Confucius' famous sayings to evaluate Uncle Tian's life, saying that "when you live in a country, you must listen to its politics." Uncle Tian can be called a gentleman.
Confucianism and Legalism praised Uncle Tian highly.
There are even signs of deifying and idolizing it.
This is normal. Uncle Tian has opened the door to a new world for them. Hundreds of schools of thought, all schools of thought, and everyone will receive this blessing from him.
Anyone who does not praise and admire him has no conscience!
In order to preserve their own conscience, everyone is desperately advocating.
There is no doubt that Chao Cuo is the most conscientious person among all people.
He personally came to the door to express his condolences to Uncle Tian. On the day of Uncle Tian's funeral, he even carried the coffin as if the teacher had really died.
Of course, more than one Chao Cuo is doing this.
Liu She, the Shaofu Minister, Da Nongzhi Buyi, and more than a dozen high-ranking ministers all came to pay their respects. Countless people rushed to carry Uncle Tian's coffin.
If they were not restricted by the etiquette and law system, they might dare to wear sackcloth and mourn for Uncle Tian and become filial sons and grandsons.
No way, who doesn't know the relationship between Uncle Tian and today's emperor?
Who doesn’t know that people today always regard Uncle Tian as their teacher?
In order to flatter the emperor, aristocrats and bureaucrats would do anything disgusting.
What's more, Uncle Tian's name is respected by the world. Being his disciple and disciple is an extremely glorious thing.
only……
When the behavior of these people reached Liu Che's ears, he became furious.
"These bastards!" How could Liu Che not know that these scum were taking advantage of Uncle Tian and eating human blood steamed buns?
But after all, he couldn't use the topic to his advantage and took advantage of the opportunity to have an attack.
Because he understands that if bureaucrats don't flatter themselves and eat steamed buns made of human blood, they are no longer bureaucrats.
Moreover, no matter what the starting point of their actions, the result is that Uncle Tian will benefit.
Instead of competing with these guys, it is better to focus on how to implement the promises made back then.
After all, the dead are gone, but the living have to move on.
but……
"Who can accompany me to the end of this road?" Liu Che didn't know.
But he knew that there would definitely be someone walking with him.
