: Pre-examination

"Impossible." Another man denied: "Scientific examinations are related to the overall situation of the world. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, I have never heard of taking exams as a condition for being an official. If a common law is formed, some poor sons can also ride on the aristocratic families from now on. Our aristocratic families will only disappear day by day. They are not born in aristocratic families. Not to mention that each family has made great profits to them, even if they are not profitable, they will not deceive people with fake questions."

The five people in this room were Li Hun, Duke Shen, Li Min, Duke Cheng, Li Shanheng, and Li Shanheng of Ping Gao, and Li family was extremely honored. When Li Mu was alive, more than a hundred people held elephant tablets in the Li family. Although Li Mu's descendants were in their infancy, they all received the same honor. Li Mu's ten sons and Zi Zi was awarded the title. Li Hun went to the emperor to go to Goguryeo. The Li family had no rewards, so Yang Yong had to give a lot of money and slaves to the Li Mansion, which was considered to be a reward for his expedition.

The one who spoke just now was Li Shanheng. The younger man was Li Min and Li Hun was his uncle. Although the three were relatives and nephews, they were actually not very different in age. Li Min was nearly ten years younger than him. Li Shanheng and Li Hun were only one year apart. As the head of the Li family, Li Hun became the head of this major clan.

Li Shanheng's words caused several people in the room to nod slightly, and the two aides agreed very much.

Li Hun sighed a little, "Yes, the emperor is very talented and has made many achievements since he ascended the throne, but he does not know that the imperial examination is really unpopular. Otherwise, there would not be so many ministers who would object. It is just that the emperor is just acting alone and not listening to dissuasion. As a minister, we have to correct the emperor's mistakes. It is a helpless thing to do this. No matter how true or false the test questions are, the emperor dares to publish the list. There must be another test question to replace. The only thing is that the servants below are not good at doing things well. Since we let the emperor find out before the exam."

"Uncle, what should I do? Can you just watch the scientific expedition go smoothly?" Li Min asked unwillingly.

Li Hun smiled twice and said, "It's not that easy. Even if the exam goes well, so what if it's done? From the exam to the public list, there will be at least one month. Any problem in any link will lead to the wasted. Although the emperor has taken strict measures, we still got the test questions?"

Li Min suddenly realized: "Yes, then my uncle can arrange the manpower and destroy the test papers. However, Zhao Nian, a lot, collapsed, and the palace was facing personnel changes. I wonder if the manpower that my uncle is familiar with in the palace is available?"

"Don't worry about this Amin. It's much easier to destroy the test paper than to secretly test questions. As long as you bribe one person, you can solve it with just one fire." Li Shanheng couldn't help but interrupt.

"Three adults, do you know if you don't know whether to say anything?" an aide said.

Li Min said impatiently: "Tell me quickly if you have something to say, and let me go if you have farts. If you don't want to give some advice, why are you standing here?"

"Amin, don't be rude to Mr. Wu." Li Hun shouted lightly: "What kind of words do Mr. Wu have, please explain it."

"Yes, sir, the leak of the exam questions has caused a lot of controversy. The emperor will definitely keep the exam questions more strictly. If the matter is leaked, it will be extremely unfavorable to sir, so why should sir take the risk to do this in person?"

Li Hun heard this and asked, "Mr. Wu means..."

"Sir, scientific research is related to the fate of all aristocratic families. The adults have set an example and leaked the test questions. It was only because the emperor responded that he failed. Although the Li family was the first aristocratic family in the Sui Dynasty, there was no need to take everything into consideration. Now it is time for other aristocratic families to contribute their efforts."

"Other families?" Li Hun's eyes flashed and he nodded slowly: "No, it's time for them to work hard. As long as each family is involved, even if the emperor knows, he may find it difficult."

In the past few days, the number of yamen runners on the streets of Beijing has increased significantly. On the surface, the yamen runners in Jingzhao City have been fully launched, but secretly, the secret guards are closely watching pedestrians in Beijing. They are looking for the man in gray who appeared at Sihai Inn a few days ago. At present, all clues have been cut off, and only the clue of Sihai Inn has important value.

There is no doubt that the deaths of the two secret guards below Sihai Inn are related to the man in gray, so that person may be truly related to the person behind the scenes. Dong Zhenghao, the owner of Sihai Inn, has drawn a portrait of the man based on his memory. Several secret guards are taking pictures, and they are following the map.

The capital city has a population of millions and the number of people coming and going every day is tens of millions. It is naturally not easy to find a person, and this person is protected by a large family. However, as long as there are people, there will always be clues. It is just strange that if the yamen runners and secret wardens find it, this person seems to be missing. Of course, they have no way to enter the houses of people like the Li Mansion to search.

Two days passed, and the imperial examination time finally came. That day, all the scholars arrived at the entrance of the examination room early at dawn. There were crowds of people outside the examination room. Although these scholars had participated in the county school and county school, it was not the first time that they entered the examination room, how could the county and county exams be compared with the exams where scholars from all over the world gathered?

There were 190 counties in Sui Dynasty, more than 1,200 counties. Although there were more than 10,000 scholars, on average, there were only ten people in each county, and only fifty or sixty people in each county. These people were selected from the county, and the largest number of people in the exam was only a thousand. Compared with the over 10,000 people who were overwhelmed by the 10,000 people, they were completely awesome. Moreover, after this exam, some people might soar into the sky, and most people still had to go home. Many scholars were sweating nervously, and some even stood outside the examination room and fainted nervously after waiting for a while.

Fortunately, the government had prepared for a long time. Not only were there military guards on the scene, but more than 100 doctors were equipped. Anyone who fainted would be carried down by several soldiers and handed over to the doctor for treatment. However, some of them were likely to miss the exam. Seeing that the fainted scholar was carried down, some people were glad and couldn't help but show a hint of sympathy.

After three gongs rang, the gate of the Gongyuan waded open to more than 10,000 scholars, and the scholars in front suddenly rushed up and squeezed forward.

"Line, line up." Several soldiers shouted loudly, and the long whip in their hands was slammed. The scholar in front of them was immediately whipped, and the different screamed. The scholar behind them was shocked and stopped rushing forward. But some people couldn't help but feel angry. These soldiers were simply too rude.

They didn't know that this was for their own good. If so many scholars flocked to the tribute court, they might soon lead to stampede.

The examination room implemented the strict body search system in later generations, and pieces of paper were not allowed to enter the venue. Anyone with the body was disqualified from the examination and was directly removed from the list. Although the court had already made regulations on the examination, it was only for the first time that the examination was either county or county exams. It was not strict in many cases, so that some candidates could be admitted. Now that the examination was in the imperial examination, this rule was strictly enforced. The inspectors basically took off their coats and found them wherever they were entrained. Soon, more than a dozen scholars who had entered the previous face were forked out with a sad face.

The scholar behind him was shocked. After asking, many people were busy taking out the entrainment on their bodies and throwing them on the ground. After the scholar entered the venue, a large number of various notes were swept out of the entire examination institute.

On the high building in the distance, Yang Yong and a group of ministers watched all the scholars enter the venue safely. When the gate of the tribute court closed, Yang Yong turned around and asked everyone behind him: "My dear friends, what do you think today?"

He Ruobi stood up and said, "Your Majesty is indeed a pioneering move for the ages. But from then on, people in the world think that as long as they read poetry and books, they can become officials, and I don't know who can kill the enemy, who can farm, and who can work?"

Yang Yong was not displeased when he heard this. He brought the ministers here to watch the various scholars enter the venue, just to let the ministers see their determination and dispel their desire to resist the imperial examinations in secret. Finally, he said, "From now on, all the heroes in the world will be in my hub." That's great, but he didn't expect that He Ruobi was so disrespectful, so he turned over the first sentence.

"You are old, you can understand the truth when reading, and the soldiers can know why they kill enemies. When farmers study, they can know how to do farming, craftsmen study, and they can make artifacts. I want people all over the world to read, but not to study hard, but to learn and use them, to understand history, understand calculations, understand things, and understand laws. It is for this reason that no one can kill enemies, farm, and work?"

After all, He Ruobi was a military general. After Yang Yong refuted, he immediately retreated. Yun Dingxing quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty is wise. This move will definitely set a precedent for future officials. The children of aristocratic families and the poor men in common are His Majesty's people. Since ancient times, most heroes have come from the grassroots. Let them study and understand the truth and have a level of advancement. They will definitely have great rule in the world, and the foundation of the Great Sui Dynasty will be stable and passed on for generations."
