"There are still Mingshu Department, Mingfa Department, Jinshi Department, Xiucai Department..."
Li Dewu sneered in his heart, Ming Shu Ke... that guy's calligraphy, stop joking!
Indeed, Li Qianyou took one look at Li Shan's test paper and shook his head. To put it nicely, it was immodest, and to put it crudely, it was the graffiti of a young child.
Li Shan has no idea in this regard. This calligraphy has been used in his past and present lives. If you want to have a good calligraphy, you have to practice it for many years... But I have only been here for more than a year, so how can I have time?
A clerk asked tentatively: "Mingfa Ke?"
"There are quite a few vacancies in the Mingfa Department." Li Qianyou moved the corner of his mouth and coughed twice, "Huairen, would you like to think again?"
A clerk came closer to explain for a while, and Li Shan immediately shook his head.
The laws of the Tang Dynasty were inherited from the former Sui Dynasty. In the first year of Wude, the sage Li Yuan abolished Yang Guang's "Daye Code" and revised the "Wude Code" based on the "Kaihuang Code" written by Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty Yang Jian. However, it has not been promulgated for five years now. Woolen cloth!
So until now, the Tang Dynasty has not had a law that is truly universal throughout the world... It is a bit hard to believe, but in fact, historically, the "Law of Wude" was not promulgated until the seventh year of Wude.
There is really no need for Li Yuan to waste time, as the Xuanwumen incident will take place in two years.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he ordered Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling to preside over the revision of the law, which was called "Zhenguan Code". During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, Changsun Wuji revised the law and named it "Yonghui Code". This was what came later. "Tang Law".
Well, this is Changsun Wuji's most outstanding political achievement besides his influence on the decision of the Prince of the East Palace. During the Zhenguan period, he was actually outside the core of the political power for a long time.
In the fifth year of Wude, it was not that the laws of the Tang Dynasty were imperfect and unclear, but that there were no laws at all!
Under such circumstances, even if Professor Luo comes, let alone Li Shan, there will be no chance of taking the law exam!
It is impossible to study Mingshu and Mingfa, leaving only the Xiucai and Jinshi departments.
Li Qianyou was also quite speechless. He was definitely not qualified to be a scholar... When discussing national affairs, his words were meaningful.
Judging from Li Shan's performance in the Hebei War, it is not without hope, but the problem is that in the examination for scholarly examinations, the candidates failed and the governor was demoted.
In other words, if Li Shan fails to pass the exam, his Chang'an order will be ruined.
How could Li Qianyou take such a risk!
Therefore, only the Jinshi department is left, which is determined by poetry.
Li Qianyou was deeply apologetic, saying that Li Huairen's knowledge was mixed, but he had never heard of his poetic talent.
Li Dewu looked at Li Shan with pity in his eyes. Although I don't know where you learned medicine or arithmetic, and you hired someone to memorize some scriptures by rote, your poetic talent... this cannot be made up for in a short time.
This requires talent!
Li Dewu and Li Qianyou could clearly see the despair on Li Shan's face.
Li Shan is really desperate!
Although I loved reading poetry in my previous life, and my memory is amazing, although I remember countless poems that have been passed down through the ages...
Not to mention poems, I can recite as many poems as I can for you, including long and short sentences!
But I, Li Shan, have never planned to become famous for my poetry. I have always been down-to-earth!
Thinking of me, Li Shan, from the beginning to now, step by step, when have I ever done such a nasty thing?!
Li Shan gritted his teeth and walked out of the county government office. His heart was filled with... you forced me!
Yeah, yeah, that shameless Li Dewu forced me to do it!
As for "I don't know who cuts the thin leaves, the spring breeze in February is like scissors"... That was recited by Li Bai and Taibai. What does it have to do with me, Li Huairen?!
As for the pamphlet written in Pinyin in the study room... Li Shan had no impression of it at all.
"Jinshi Department?!" Wang Renbiao's eyes widened, "How could it be Jinshi Department?!"
Li Kai received the news yesterday, and he and Wang Renbiao worked together to clean up Li Shan's reputation. They knew it, and Ma Zhou also knew it. Li Shan had always planned to become an official in the Ming Dynasty.
Li Kai frowned and gave him a questioning look.
Li Shan nodded slightly and sighed.
"This matter was handled improperly by my brother." Li Kai apologized in a low voice with a pulled face. He did not expect that Li Dewu would actually do something in such a place. However, his uncle Li Qianyou didn't know the reason, so he naturally didn't take precautions.
"Brother Demou, what are you talking about?" Li Shan forced a smile and said: "I rushed to Beijing to take the exam today, and I haven't gone home to visit my mother yet..."
"Just go together." Wang Renbiao interrupted: "Could it be that Huairen is now famous all over the world, so he doesn't recognize his old friends?"
Li Shan was startled, and immediately realized that the events in Qinghe County had probably spread to Chang'an. Wang Renbiao's words were a statement of his position.
No wonder Li Dewu is so confident today!
Although he slapped the Cui family of Qinghe, Li Shan did not make generalizations. In this era, he wanted to destroy the clan... Unless a large-scale war started from the lower class of society, this was almost impossible.
Li Kai came closer and whispered: "I heard that hundreds of people came together. Brother Xiaoqing is helping you control the situation."
Wang Renbiao laughed and scolded: "How can a certain down-and-out child be like a younger brother of the Li family in Danyang, Longxi?"
Several people mounted their horses, took their personal guards with them, and rode out of the city, heading straight for Zhujiagou.
As soon as he entered the village, Li Shan was greatly surprised. It was as if the old hen had turned into a duck. The previously dilapidated village had completely changed.
The roads are smooth, many houses have been repaired, and the entire village is much larger than before. There are newly built houses on the periphery, whether large or small, but they are all arranged neatly.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the canal flowing through the door of every house. When Li Shan went south with his army, the canal was still being dug and the water was not yet flowing.
Now Li Shan dismounted his horse and bent down to take a closer look. The water was so clear that he could see the bluestone paved at the bottom of the canal.
A few hens were cooing and flapping their wings on the roadside. A big ox came slowly. A boy on the cow's back shouted in surprise: "The big man is back!"
Li Shan laughed and took the boy down, "Little Shitou, are you out herding the cows?"
"Have you met your father?"
"Yes, yes, yes, daddy is back too!" The tiger-headed little Shitou shouted: "Daddy said he would come back and buy me candy before he left!"
Buy candy?
I didn’t realize that Zhu Shitou is actually a sweetheart!
Li Shan smiled and lifted the small stone and put it on the horse's back. He led the horse and walked straight to the west end of the village. Li Kai and Wang Renbiao on the side pointed at them. Many places in the village were rebuilt. They invited craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to come. Helpful.
At this moment, the people in the west of the village were buzzing. Nearly a hundred people were surrounding a house in the middle. There were some men on the outside, most of them were Li Shan's personal guards. Those inside were Su Dingfang, Ling Jing and other village names. In the innermost part... at the door of the house are Mother Su, Mrs. Zhou and dozens of female relatives.
Seeing Li Shan coming back, Zhao Da ran over sweating profusely, "Lang Jun, the old lady refuses to open the door..."
Li Shan smacked his lips, no need to ask, it must be because of Mrs. Zhou, I am really stubborn.
"It's a life-saving grace and you won't let me in?" Li Shan scratched his head a little.
It doesn't make sense. If it was possible before, but that time Zhou risked his life to save me, I shouldn't have turned him away.
Zhao Da coughed twice, "I didn't even say anything...and it's hard to talk about this kind of thing alone. Mrs. Su also came over, but she didn't let Xiaoman open the door."
Li Shan sighed, "Where is the seventh uncle?"
A villager on the side said: "Grandpa Qi said hello and went to find accommodation."
Damn, this old fox can slip away very fast. Li Shan has discovered it a long time ago. Uncle Qi is extremely respectful to his mother. In his early years, there was probably a distinction between superior and inferior.
