Chapter 1508 Everything

Since the imperial examinations for the fourth year of Yuanzhen in the Tang Dynasty, the provincial examinations and the Taoist examinations have been changed to once a year.

The scholars selected from the Taoist test were selected as juren. At this time, according to the regulations of the court, they were already qualified to enter the officialdom.

In other words, no matter whether a juren is a lie or chooses to enter the officialdom, he will be more competitive than others, almost the same as when he comes to a job with a diploma.

Juren is considered to be a college graduate, and scholars who come out of the provincial examination are equivalent to junior college students. When the imperial court hires people, they will naturally be admitted to the best.

Of course, the imperial examination has only been held for a few years and the Beijing examination has only been once. The number of people elected by the imperial examination is far from being able to supplement the vacancies of the imperial examination every year.

Therefore, the imperial court still maintained great flexibility in recruiting talents, and some people took this into consideration that they were filial and honest.

Li Po was not very interested in this. Filial piety and integrity were the product of the Han Dynasty's recommendation system.

It means to establish one's life, filial piety is the basis, to be an official in politics, and to be honest as the basis.

But when the aristocratic clans monopolized the superstructure, it provided opportunities for some people to engage in interactions, and praised each other and frauds emerged one after another.

So at that time, there were nursery rhymes, saying that scholars were ignorant, and filial and honest, and their fathers lived apart. They were as simple and innocent as mud, and the high-ranking generals were as timid as chickens.

In the former Sui Dynasty, filial and honest people were also cited as a supplement to the imperial examination, but the effect was not great. Most of them were to rectify the style, and they were in line with the policy of re-exercise of Han rituals implemented by Emperor Wen Yang Jian.

The most famous one is Zhang Qingfeng, who opened a shop and sold sesame cakes. He was known to the village for his filial piety and integrity. After he was filial and honest, he did not take office on the grounds that he wanted to serve his parents.

In fact, it is pure nonsense. What do you ask a person to do when he is an official? Maybe he will lose his head at any time. However, he likes this kind of tone in the world, which belongs to the category of setting a typical category, promoting filial piety and integrity.

Because this is in line with the Confucian concept of governing the country by virtue.

…………

In any case, the system of selecting talents in the imperial examination has just been on the right track and the direction has become clear, with the observation and imperial examinations running side by side.

Both Li Po and the court officials knew very well that this situation would not change significantly within ten or twenty years. Some people even thought that there was no need for everyone to resist the imperial examination during the former Sui Dynasty.

It is obvious that most of the people who were elected in the imperial examination were from the aristocratic races. This could also leave some opportunities for poor families and greatly ease social conflicts. Why not do it?

Those people resisted the imperial examinations as if they had red eyes. First of all, the imperial examinations did touch the fundamental interests of the aristocratic races and showed signs of shaking their foundation.

Secondly, what everyone resisted was not the imperial examination itself, but the final struggle made by Xianbei tribes such as Yuwen and Dugu resisted being assimilated by the Han family.

The third is that the Guanxi clans that unified the world, as well as the remnants of the Northern Qi, Southern Chen and Southern Liang, which had just been unified by the Guanxi people, were all wary of the former Sui imperial power.

Some were afraid that Yang Jian would kill the donkey, while others were afraid that the emperor would settle the score later, so they subconsciously sang opposites to Yang Jian on the court's major affairs.

There are some stubborn forces who think that the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system is good and try their best to hinder the implementation of the new policy.

Therefore, the first national pilot of the imperial examinations ended in failure, which had an extremely complex political background.

By the early Tang Dynasty, many obstacles were gone, and in addition, the wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty were too fierce, the people were at peace, and the imperial examinations were handled quite smoothly.

This is the so-called general trend.

In fact, although there were a group of people who promoted the imperial examinations at this time, they were essentially no different from the former Sui Dynasty. They were still the choice made by the upper elites. The time when the people were the masters of their own country was still far away.

…………

The imperial examination held last year was still unstable, and this year should probably be similar. The important node is still in the Beijing Examination next year.

The last time the court made a gesture, with a fierce debate between literary and cultural events, an Xinglin Banquet, and a palace examination, which really made the imperial examination a lot.

Next year, there will be a previous example, and the system will be much better than the last time. I think there will be another grand event in Chang'an, but I don't know if anyone else is causing trouble and revealing the test questions.

Li Po was very excited about this. When he thought of this, he seemed to hear someone saying that choosing a fifth-rank official position is such a big courage.

…………

Yun Dingxing, the Minister of Works, wrote a letter, and the site selection of the imperial tomb has been decided, and it has begun to enter the stage of making drawings.

This was a test of engineering skills in the early Tang Dynasty, because the imperial tombs were chosen to be the sun of the Wei River and the shade of the Jing River, where the mountains were undulating and hills were everywhere, and the geological environment was very complex.

This is different from the imperial tombs of all dynasties. It is almost like building a mountain tomb.

Because the Feng Shui theory was perfected during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the "experts" of geomancy praised this place, which means that it is a very fast and blessed land, which can ensure that the nobles are not disturbed, their descendants are prosperous, and the country is long-lasting.

In fact, most of them are like gods and ghosts. The actual point is that earthquakes, floods, droughts and other natural disasters are rarely encountered there.

With this as a tomb, you can sleep well inside so that you won’t be taken out by God one day and exposed to the wilderness. As for human-made disasters, who can control it?

The advice of the author Yu Shinan was very pertinent. He heard that the Ministry of Works wanted to build the Tang Dynasty’s ancestral tomb according to the Changling model of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, and everything was done with great care.

Yu Shinan was proficient in classics and history, and refuted that the emperors' tombs in the Han Dynasty were too labor-intensive, and there were many treasures in the tombs, which were easy to attract thieves to spy on them, and there were also rituals of sacrificing life, which was extremely barbaric and cruel.

Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and loves the people as much as his son. How can he follow his example?

Therefore, his proposal is that the imperial tomb should generally be magnificent, the details should be simple and comfortable, and fewer things to be buried with, etc.

…………

The Ministry of Works' plans were circulated in all parts of the three provinces and the opinions of court officials were widely solicited.

Li Po felt very upset. A group of bastards were vigorously discussing where he would sleep a hundred years later. He really wasn't a son. I must have lived longer than any of you...

In the end, Yu Shinan's words sounded quite impressive. After a person died, he was over. There were so many things to pay attention to. When encountering a bad guy like Cao Cao and Duan Da, is there any difference between you burying him? Have you heard of the name of the Jinshi Captain?

The old fox Fenglun was still so cunning. Seeing the emperor's intentions, he suggested erecting a monument outside the imperial tomb to tell those guys who dug tombs and robbed holes that there was absolutely no jewelry in the tomb of His Majesty the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so that they would not have to worry.

It’s a bit like there is no silver here. Li Po was sold by a master of the country. When he saw such a monument, he would definitely dig it out and try his luck. This is really a bad idea.

…………

Building an imperial tomb is a big deal for a dynasty, especially the ancestral tomb, which is no different from the dragon vein.

Li Po didn't want to care, but he had to pay attention, so he ordered people to send all the memorials about the imperial tomb to Li Bi, which was considered as giving the matter to his wife to deal with.

Anyway, they must sleep in the same place in the end, so he can't bother with the decoration alone, right?

In general, the construction of the imperial tomb is a relatively large project, especially when the emperor is a little uneasy. It can be imagined that the progress will not be so fast, and it is not uncommon for this process to last for more than ten or twenty years.

However, the renovation of Chang'an Palace showed the speed of the former Sui Dynasty. By the end of June, it was almost two months before the completion there.

According to the prior plan of the Ministry of Works, some palaces were repaired, while some of the extremely dilapidated temples were simply demolished.

The overall layout did not change significantly. It took some time to clean up the silt and build some pavilions in several palace ponds.

This year, I also built several hot springs to the east of Chang'an harem. As for whether the palace concubines can come with hot spring water to wash the grease, well, it is probably difficult.

Ancient poetry and prose have exaggerated elements, giving people room to imagine, but the actual situation is very different.

Construction of various palaces near Chang'an has also started this year, and the main thing is to repair and repair it. Needless to say, Li Po always felt that there was a shortage of labor in various places, but it was very inappropriate for Guanxi to build palaces on a large scale.

Most of this was influenced by the later generations' ruling ideas, and there was a certain gap with the role of the king.

Although some ministers accompany the emperor all day long and say something that is not good at working too much, it is actually natural for the emperor to build his own palace in the eyes of the people of the world.

As long as you grasp the right measure, don’t just be happy and make the world boom. Otherwise, building a palace, demolishing and rebuilding the place you live, building and rebuilding, are normal behaviors.

As long as the interests of the nobles are not damaged, the people will still have food and drink, and life can continue. Generally speaking, no one will put a hat of extravagance on the emperor.

What's more, Li Po was also the founding king. His power was much stronger than that of the emperors who inherited the ordinary season. He was cautious and restrained his desires (harmonious) hopes.

On the contrary, it made the subordinates very uncomfortable. They felt that the emperor paid too much attention to his reputation and might even mutter behind his back that the emperor was too low and was used to hard life, so he would be like this after becoming the emperor.

Well, on the surface, I highly praised the emperor for his wise and powerful spirit, and putting people first...

Li Po knew the slutty actions of his subordinates. The Military Information Department would report some inquiries a while ago.

Who said something nonsense after drinking today and was very disrespectful to the emperor. Tomorrow, some woman died of illness. She probably was poisoned to death. No one reported the case, so she could just leave it out...

In places like Chang'an, there are really rumors and serious places for right and wrong. If you drink too much, you'd better be careful. When you say the truth, you have to find the right person, otherwise what might happen.

Like Yun Dingxing, he was loyal to the emperor and never said a word of bad words to the emperor in front of others.

When he wrote the book, he also had a lot of flattery and thoughtful about the emperor's affairs than his own. Li Po couldn't help but feel that he should control the trend a little...
