Chapter 448 The Birth of the Imperial Examination System (Part 1)
Uncle Li didn't say anything, and the students tried hard to take notes, but now Uncle Li's expression was extremely heavy. Perhaps it can be said that Uncle Li's extremely talented emperor could have seen such a huge crisis in the deep and lurking place from my mouth and from my thinking mode.
But, as the saying goes, the master brings it into the door, and practice depends on individuals. Today, I just raised this question and finally solved the problem. It is also in the hands of Uncle Li, not in my hands.
"... Of course, due to inequality and the existence of local tyrants, annexation is faster and more inevitable. Wang Mang's new policy at the end of the Western Han Dynasty was because of land annexation and the ultimate rebellion of the red eyebrows and green forests. This is the fundamental reason. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, land annexation was also serious..."
After nearly half an hour of talking, the question finally ended. Uncle Li was still squatting on the couch and pretending to be a Bodhisattva. He had no intention of leaving, so I couldn't bother him. However, after waiting for a long time, Uncle Li was still knocking on the desk and thinking hard.
Helplessly, I decided to slip away first. Anyway, after teaching the course, it was time for us to go home for dinner and quietly touched the door of the hall with a few students.
"Don't leave with a good son-in-law!" Uncle Li really listened to all directions and looked at the six directions. He grabbed me without raising his head, damn!
In desperation, he had to walk back to Uncle Li and sit down: "I don't know what advice is my father-in-law."
"Well, I can't talk about the advice. Today, I am the only one who is your father-in-law and son-in-law. I'm the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is here to have a drink. Today, I'm going to have a good chat with the son-in-law." Uncle Li looked at me with his face and nodded quickly: "Xiao Mei can't ask for it." I am an honest person and rarely come and go to others. Since Uncle Li invited me, it's not easy to save the emperor's face.
After a few glasses of wine, Uncle Li opened his mouth: "Today I heard the words of the virtuous son-in-law, and I realized that the virtuous son-in-law is also my confidant..." Uncle Li killed a glass of wine, pursed his lips and sighed.
"After looking at history books, how many wise rulers in the world can be? Apart from the founding kings and the guarded kings, my sons are all mediocre. Let's take the Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by the son-in-law. Why not? The treacherous heroes of Cao Cao's generation also have talent. However, Cao Rui is just a person who returns to Cao and follows him. In the Eastern Wu, there are three other sons except Sun Ce and his son. Then, no descendants of Sun Quan could succeed his grand throne... I have to worry."
"My father-in-law, the son-in-law, thinks that this is indeed related to their growth environment. The fathers fought hard to break through the soil and open up the border. What about the children and grandchildren? They were born with wealth and food. There were a lot of people serving them everywhere, and they had no way to understand the living environment of the people in the world. The son-in-law had heard such a joke."
"What a joke?" Uncle Li took a piece of vegetable and stuffed it into his mouth and raised his eyes to me and asked.
"I don't know whether it was during the Spring and Autumn Period or the Warring States Period, a minister reported to the monarch that a disaster occurred in the country. The people had no food to eat, and even used tree bark and grass roots to satisfy their hunger. The king of the monarch curiously asked himself that since there was no food to eat, why didn't they eat meat?"
Uncle Li just chewed two bites of the meat jerky and was sprayed out. He raised his throat and laughed for a long time before pointing at me and said, "Okay, you guy, you're teasing me."
"Where is my son-in-law who dares to tease you? However, although this is a little smile, the deep meaning of it is not small, Your Majesty!" I spoke sincerely to Uncle Li.
Uncle Li stopped laughing and looked a little sad: "Yes. Missing the prince is not an example? He has been frugal and frugal all day long. He has received the teachings of famous teachers in the world, but he does not understand the sufferings of the people. Whenever he eats food, he is worried about what he eats? I teach and teach and advise the teachers, but he is left behind..."
"I hope my father-in-law will be angry. This is not the fault of your majesty or the prince." I quickly persuaded.
Uncle Li was stunned and frowned: "What do you mean?"
I smiled. Zhuge's brother was very calm in his attitude of talking about the confucians and congratulations. He took a sip of wine and said, "Actually, everyone understands this principle, but the ministers are not willing to say it. Even if he says it, he will be embarrassed, but it is still Your Majesty."
Uncle Li was slightly stunned, looked at me carefully, and frowned: "You are my husband's son-in-law. If you say that, I will not blame you or punish you."
"Then please forgive me for being brave. In fact, to put it simply, it is just a sentence: born in distress and die in happiness." It is a very simple sentence. But how many people can really do this sentence in the world?
Born in distress and died in happiness. I remember. Is this from Mencius? "Uncle Li turned around and asked me.
"That is. The title of the article is "Shun in the Mile". The first paragraph of the article lists six famous people: Shun, Fu Shuo, Jiao, Guan Yiwu, Sun Shuao, Bailixi. They are either the legendary saints of the land, or the famous wise ministers and talents in history. The reason why they are ranked first in the article is that before they become celebrities, they either endure hardships or engage in inconspicuous work. Or they are not known to the world... A person who assumes that he is always in a happy life, without ambition and without a sense of crisis will die.
This article starts from the role of individuals in suffering, but also talks about the situation of the country. If it is peaceful and smooth, under this false appearance of peace, people in the whole country will relax their vigilance, causing the country to collapse and perish once it encounters internal and external troubles."
I knelt on the couch and said earnestly to Uncle Li: "My father-in-law, you are wise, you have experienced wars, you have shared the joys and sorrows with your soldiers, but..."
Uncle Li didn't move his head, and just looked at the ground, raised his hand to stop me from speaking: "No need to say anything. Son-in-law, you should go back and rest earlier. I have to think about it today, and I really have to digest it well."
"Yes, my son-in-law gave up." I also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Uncle Li has a good temper, my words are too wide and too wide, and I have even extended my tentacles to the royal family. Fortunately, if someone else was the emperor, such as those in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that my head has already turned into eight-petal flower.
It is his own business, and I also have my own business to consider. The circulation of "Tang Dynasty Weekly" has doubled, which is a very good phenomenon. In addition, I had expected that long-term losses did not occur at all. Whether it is poor scholars or high-ranking officials and noble families, the discussion about selling their knowledge and getting money has been diluted, and it is mainly due to the degree of openness and openness in the early Tang Dynasty.
The second issue of the local area has also increased to the third issue per month. I am still waiting for an opportunity to publish newspapers.
Wei Boyu also submitted a manuscript. He was a propaganda official. I also appreciate this. Since ancient times, historians have been in a transcendent position. Although their rank is not high, their personality and morality cannot be undeniable. Otherwise, the ancient history of China would be a different appearance. Even the Xuanwu Gate Incident in Uncle Li was also faithfully recorded. If it were placed in that dynasty with braids, it would be a so-called mystery.
"What are you talking about?" I put down my pen, stretched my waist, and asked with a smile at my wives and concubines who were chatting around the fire.
"June Lang comes here to sit. It's warm and warm. Today I heard my elder brother and father-in-law talk. He said that it was almost the end of the year and it was time to prepare for the imperial examination again." Cheng Luanluan patted the empty space on his body and said with a smile to me.
"Imperial Examination? When?" I sat next to Cheng Luanluan. The coal stove was so hot that it felt uncomfortable. This kind of stove was designed by me. But when I was still young, the small iron stove used in the 1970s and 1980s was hundreds of times better. It was warm and the floor was very wide. It was still warm. Of course, it had to be covered with cloth. Otherwise, it would be very hot.
"Why don't you know about Junlang?" Li Shu covered his mouth and chuckled. "Every year, provincial examinations are held during the Spring Festival, and it is now winter. My father, as the head of the Secretariat, should take charge of this matter."
"Oh, that's how I thought you were talking about other places, why are you talking about this? Could it be that you guys have made up and become men, but they won't be able to pass the exam?" I pinched Cheng Luanluan's hand and turned his head to smile at them.
"I'm not serious!" Li Shu glared at me angrily. "It's all right. Our local husband has never seen when he was passing by." The palace maid and sister covered her lips and chuckled.
