He was the head of the dignified Cui family back then, and it would not be an exaggeration to call him a contemporary literary giant. He was extremely famous, but as a result, here in Yanqi, he didn't even get a single official position?
Could it be that...
Are Yanqi's selection criteria more stringent than those of the Long Yan Dynasty?
That’s not true!
That’s not true!
He spat out a mouthful of old blood again, and a murderous intention flashed in his eyes: "Quickly, write to Jinghua immediately. Liu Zhizhou's imperial examination system is a strategy to deceive the emperor and ignore the superior! I must make sure that he cannot
What a death!"
"It's the master!"
...
Protectorate.
Liu Zheng, Liu Dahao, Qing Yangshuo and others finally finished their work and smiled at each other.
Qingyang Shuo couldn't help but praise: "The imperial examination system for young masters will definitely become famous all over the world. I am lucky to have met such a wise master in my third life."
Liu Zheng quickly said humbly: "Sir, you are so complimentary. But this Cui Gong..."
He looked at King Yong next to him.
King Yong smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, what do you say to Ranggu... This Cui Gong is the person that Master Zhu has promised to take care of..."
He sighed deeply: "Although the young master's move is more in favor of our aristocratic class, it is unwise to offend Zhu Zhen in this way."
Liu Zheng sneered and said: "What's the use of that bullshit article? It's pieced together and exaggerated. What is the use of our Western Region Protectorate? What we want are real talents, not rhetorical people!"
"It is pitiful that Jiuzhou is angry and relies on wind and thunder, and thousands of horses are silent. I urge God to cheer up and send down talents of any kind!"
"King Yong, since the Holy One has given me the will to act, then this Western Region must be left to me!"
King Yong smiled bitterly.
Just wait and see.
I'm afraid this matter is not over yet.
...
This time.
Zhu Zhen from Jinghua has also received the news.
When he heard the news that Cui Gong was not selected, he immediately changed his expression and started to shout: "What did you say? Cui Gong was not selected? He was not among the thousand people?"
The servant nodded in panic: "Master, this Liu Zhizhou has gone too far! He doesn't take you seriously at all!"
Zhu Zhen's eyes turned cold.
He is the official minister of the current Longyan Dynasty, with power over both the government and the public.
One of his concubines came from the Cui family.
And she happens to be Cui Gong's daughter.
He originally thought that if he said hello to King Yong, a little Cui Gong would be able to arrange it. Although the aristocracy and the scholar-bureaucrat class were in deep conflict, on the surface, they both belonged to the privileged class. Logically speaking, this trivial matter would not matter
Said it should be almost the same.
Unexpectedly...
I didn’t expect that!
It is definitely not the cowardly old fox of King Yong who is obstructing this matter, so there is only one possibility.
That’s Liu Zhizhou!
He smiled coldly: "Liu Zhizhou, does he really think that he is a meritorious official? How dare a young official to disobey me, Zhu Zhen?"
A bystander said: "Sir, I heard that Mr. Liu of the Hanlin Academy has gone to see the Holy One to advise on the adoption of the imperial examination system..."
"What?"
Zhu Zhen's eyes darkened and he gritted his teeth: "Change my clothes and enter the palace!"
"yes!"
Zhu Zhen was anxious as he hurriedly got into the carriage.
The imperial examination system really made many people restless.
Because of the imperial examination.
It's really subversive of tradition.
Even the aristocrats who were close to Liu Zheng openly opposed the scholar-officials... Logically speaking, they should support the imperial examination. But over the years, the scholar-officials had become a fixed interest group in the Longyan Dynasty.
How could they want their own interests to be divided up by those poor students?
so.
No matter who they were, all the civil and military officials of the Longyan Dynasty boycotted the imperial examination.
It's just that the scholar-bureaucrats didn't resist as strongly as the nobles.
So.
Zhu Zhen believed that Liu Zheng was seeking death!
