Chapter 1318 Only as strong as the former Tang Dynasty has such talent
Chapter 1318
After a scattered scolding, the group of squeaked like the late autumn roosters. After not daring to fart another time, Wang Daren left the classroom with a dark face with the lesson plan.
"It's so scary. I thought I was trying to hit us just now." Cao Min wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, and couldn't help but burn his twin brother Cao Ye who was only a quarter of an hour earlier than him.
"I said, brother, what are you doing? Don't you know who is the one who is studying? He has annoyed him, but he doesn't have the best fruits we have."
Seeing the resentful eyes around him, Cao Ye didn't have the courage he had just now, and he shrank his neck helplessly. "Didn't I just want to remind Xuezheng? Who knew this would happen?"
"Young master, drink some tea and calm down. Why are you angry with those little boys?" Wu Qilang also served the King of Kings with some fear and fear.
"I have submitted a memorial to the court as early as last year, hoping that the court would change its military practices and should be more important than military strategy, but to this day, it has not been passed. It is really hateful and annoying." Wang Daguanren was very angry, and the consequences were very serious.
Hearing the complaints of Mr. Wang, a group of guards didn't know how to persuade Mr. Wang except for rolling their eyes. After all, they were not officials in the court and had no say.
At this time, Xu Zhao, who received the news, rushed over and heard the complaints from the King of Officials, but he was helpless. "In fact, the Xiaguan also felt that the generals should place military strategy first, but the Xiaguanguan said it lightly."
"As for you, you have many enemies in the court, and your idea is indeed difficult to pass in the court discussion. After all, this matter involves the imperial examination, and even Your Majesty sometimes finds it difficult to act arbitrarily."
Xu Zhao's consolation made Wang Daguanren's mood not only not improve, but he became even more depressed. "You said, if Wang went to join forces with those nobles to report the memorial together, can he?"
After all, Xu Zhao was a man of both civil and military affairs. After pondering for a moment, he smiled bitterly. "In that case, it may make people feel that you are selfish and wantonly change the rules to avoid you from being unable to fulfill your promise."
"That's true, but how can those bastards agree to change the model of martial arts?" Wang Yang sighed and drank the cup of herbal tea in one mouthful. It really felt like a bitter feeling of a dog biting a hedgehog without a place to mouth.
"My nephew, I and Lord Zhang understand your hard work very well, but you also need to know that you lack the right to speak, and you have promised before, so it is impossible to change it at this moment."
After hearing that Wang Yang came to complain about martial arts, Su Dongpo was quite moved, but after communicating with Zhang Yu, who was also a guest at the Su Mansion, he had to admit that there was no way to change now.
"If I had known this, I would not have started martial arts in the Imperial Academy. As a result, I would have hurt myself." Wang Daguanren looked very resentful with a look of a dog's expression.
Zhang Feng nodded deeply and smiled. "There is no way, it is not that easy to change, not to mention that those self-righteous new parties will not follow you to make trouble. What they care about is the imperial examinations of the scholars, not the martial arts examinations."
"If you want to change, either most court officials agree and pass it, or there is an opportunity for people to make changes."
"An opportunity?" Wang Yang was slightly stunned, touched his chin, and fell into deep thought for a moment.
"What are you thinking? You have many ghost ideas, but the so-called opportunity cannot be seen with a flash of inspiration." Su Dongpo couldn't help laughing when he saw Wang Yang's nirvana.
Although he was willing to help Wang Yang, things were not so easy to handle. With the Shu Party among the old party, even with the nobles and military officials, the weight in the court was far from enough.
What's more, the change in the imperial examination is definitely a matter of national foundation. Even those martial arts that officials don't like on weekdays will not be subject to Wang Yang's wishes. After all, it concerns the decision-making power of these important officials in the court.
Let you make a fuss, do you want to change the imperial examination next time? The old party is unwilling, and the new party is also unwilling to see a non-new party leading the reform of the Song Dynasty. Where are they, the new party, who claim to be enterprising?
"Won't Wang can't create it himself without an opportunity?" Wang Yang curled his lips and said unconvincedly. But at most, this was just a verbal trick, because he really couldn't think of what the opportunity was.
"Haha, young people should be enterprising, not bad, this reminded Zhang of Su's friend back then, my cousin Zhang Dun." Zhang Qi couldn't help laughing out loud, and then toasted Su Dongpo with a glass of wine.
Seeing Wang Yang's puzzled gaze, Zhang Qing smiled. "Wang Wushan, you may not know that, although Zhang Dun passed the imperial examination for the first time, he refused to be ordered because his ranking was lower than my nephew Zhang Heng. Two years later, he participated in the imperial examination again. This time, he ranked fifth in the first place and first in the Kaifeng Prefecture Examination."
"When talking about this interesting story of the imperial examination, Su has heard a lot. You can tell that in the former Tang Dynasty, there was a top scholar with both civil and military skills."
"What's the top scorer with both civil and military skills?" Wang Daguanren said with disdain. Isn't this the top scorer with both civil and military skills?
"Young man is showing off your airs in front of me." Su Dongpo glared at the guy angrily, and then said viciously. "This is a genius who has won the top scorer in literature and the top scorer in martial arts, are you?"
Wang Yang directly widened his eyes: "Really? I said, uncle, you are fooling me, right?"
"Barring, can I make any mistakes?"
Zhang Feng said slowly from the side. "I have heard of this genius, and it seems that he was a figure from the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty's period during the pre-Tang Dynasty."
"Really?" Wang Yang was so energetic. He was so gossipy, and he had never heard of it. "Please ask two of you to solve the problem."
"Yes, this person's surname is Toucan, and he is a figure from the former Tang Dynasty. He is good at calligraphy. In the ninth year of Yuanhe, he wrote the famous Jiting Record. Su remembers where he saw it."
"He took the imperial examination in 823 AD in the third year of Changqing of Emperor Muzong of Tang Dynasty). At that time, the examiner was Wang Qi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. The test title was Li Gui Fu. Zheng Guan finally won the top scorer and entered the official career.
However, after that, he didn't know why, in 828 AD, the second year of Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty, he actually went to take the martial arts examination and won the top scorer in one fell swoop, becoming a doctor of the Ministry of Revenue."
"This is the only top scholar in both civil and military disciplines in the world since the imperial examinations were held in the Sui Dynasty."
"Yes, it's unprecedented, and no one comes after that."
