Your Majesty, Kong Yingda of the Imperial College of the Imperial Academy presents to your majesty that 2,987 candidates have registered for the first Enke session of the Tang Dynasty. Today, all of them have been sent to the examination room. This Enke session is divided into two sessions, one of which tests the interpretation of the classics of elementary school. , an assessment of teaching and educating methods...
Looking at Kong Yingda's memorial to Emperor Long Yan Dayue, there were nearly three thousand people, and I really wanted to recruit all of them.
It's a pity that it doesn't work. These people are sent to sow. Not everyone is suitable to be a teacher. A good teacher is a guide, and a bad teacher is a ruiner. So it still needs to be selected.
"Auxiliary machine, let's go. Let's put aside today's affairs for a while and follow me to the examination room."
Li Er took Changsun Wuji out of Tai Chi Hall.
In the Enke examination room, many candidates were familiar with each other because of the last imperial examination. Everyone failed in the imperial examination, so they decided to take the Enke exam. After five years of teaching, they could become an official in the court. It was a great deal.
Most people may not be able to pass the exam after ten years. There are many people who have lived in poverty all their lives. In the end, why not return to their place of origin and become a poor private school teacher?
Instead of going back to be a private school teacher, it is better to be a school teacher for the court. You will still have fame and a bright future in the future!
"After three years of failure, I wanted to join the army to fight against the Turks. I didn't expect that the Turks were so inexperienced that they were captured by the champion. I thought that I, Lu Kaimeng, would never be able to serve the country again in this life, but I didn't expect that your majesty would open up Enke Nacai. Today, I will definitely This is the day when I, Lu Kaimeng, will make a fortune!"
"Brother Kaimeng, you will definitely be admitted to high school today. Enke took the exam for Enlightenment Volume Three, which is exactly what you deserve."
"With your good words, I wish you all can go to high school!"
…
As the examiner, Xiao Rui was looking through the roster one by one, wondering how to distinguish the sand? I don’t know how many Qiwang from the fifth surname got involved.
How many candidates with the surnames of Cui Lu, Li Zheng and Wang should be directly eliminated? Don't talk nonsense, no matter how stupid you are, you won't send your own children to such an obvious end.
Headache... Xiao Rui rubbed his forehead.
"Master Marquis, Your Majesty is here." The subordinate officer came to report.
Xiao Rui put down the list and stood up to greet them. However, Li Er and Changsun Wuji did not show much ceremony and were accompanied by Kong Yingda into the examination room.
The emperor is here in person? How much grace and expectation is this? In previous years, the emperor did not come to the imperial examination in person. All the candidates were cheered. It seems that His Majesty attaches great importance to Enke.
"Since Your Majesty is here, let me say a few words to everyone." Xiao Rui came up and said loudly.
Li Er was in a good mood, and as he had this intention, he walked up to the stage and delivered an impromptu speech.
"You are all the future pillars of the Tang Dynasty. I know your desire to serve the country, but at present, the Tang Dynasty not only lacks officials who can manage politics and love the people, but also lacks literate talents. Even many officials in counties and counties have How can you do this if you are illiterate?”
"So this time Enke invites you to go to various parts of the country to enlighten knowledge. If everyone in the Tang Dynasty is literate, then there will be talents everywhere. For the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the future, you will be the first batch of sows and the biggest contributors! "
Ten Thousand Years of the Tang Dynasty...
Among them was a son from a military family who dared to take the lead in shouting slogans. This is an examination room. If you are not careful, you will be convicted of disrupting the order of the examination room.
Fortunately, Xiao Rui reacted quickly and joked: "Don't shout, don't shout, don't even shout. It's an exam, not a war! Boy, have you been on the battlefield?"
The man chuckled and said: "Master Marquis, I have never been on the battlefield, but my father is a veteran of yours. He fought with you in the Turkic royal court, and I listen to his stories every day."
"Then why did you give up martial arts and become civilized?"
"Dad said that the Turks have finished fighting. There will be no more wars in the future. Only by studying and practicing can one be successful."
Xiao Rui laughed and scolded: "What the hell is Hu Laosan's idea? How can he educate his son like this?"
"Ah? Lord Marquis, how do you know that my father is..."
Xiao Rui rolled his eyes and said, "Your face is almost the same as your father's. I'm not yet blind."
The crowd roared with laughter.
"It's okay to give up martial arts and study literature, but if you don't do well in the exam and don't have the talent to study literature, just go back to the camp and practice martial arts."
Li Er smiled and said: "The Tang Dynasty favored martial arts and paid equal attention to both civil and military affairs. Regardless of whether they studied literature or martial arts, it was always the people, not the culture, who were successful."
Everyone was convinced that it was not in vain, the emperor personally taught him a lesson.
"Everyone, please continue to answer the questions. Answer carefully and answer truthfully according to what you think in your heart. This is the selection of candidates. You will be selected to be teachers in various places. Good teachers can bring out a large number of good students, but bad teachers are mistakes. The sons of men.”
"So you can just rely on your true level and measure your talent. You don't need to worry too much about your grades."
Kong Yingda said loudly: "Continue to answer the questions with peace of mind. The exam time will be extended by a quarter of an hour."
Everyone cheered.
On the way back, Li Er said with emotion: "How great would it be if all these people could be used by the country? Zang Feng said that a piece of paper also has its uses, so no matter how talented they are, they are just not placed in the right position."
Changsun Wuji sighed: "It's difficult! It's not just a matter of hiring people who know how to handle them, but the key lies in the individual. Everyone here doesn't feel that their talents are insufficient, and they all have the same dream of becoming a prime minister..."
Prime Minister's dream?
Li Er laughed loudly and said: "What dream does it have to be a prime minister? It's obviously a dream to get promoted and make a fortune!"
"But, as long as they can help me govern the world, I will never be stingy with titles and wealth."
Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "The Champion Hou said that it is not shameful to talk directly about money and power. Everyone wants glory and wealth, and everyone wants to change their destiny."
"Your Majesty, isn't what the court does is to help people change their destiny? If everyone can change their destiny with their own hands, then we have really accomplished something."
Li Er said with deep eyes: "Yes, so we have to move that mountain so that everyone can have a chance to compete."
The day's exam passed quickly. Xiao Rui was the examiner and the main grader, so he didn't leave the Imperial College at all in the past few days.
Kong Yingda saw that he was frowning all day long, and it seemed that it was not because of the test paper in front of him, so he went to inquire privately.
"I was wondering how to find the sand inside."
Looking for sand?
Kong Yingda was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and laughed loudly: "Master Marquis, is this the case? Don't you know that His Majesty has already found a way."
What? Found a way? I do not know how? How did you find out? any solution?
Kong Yingda whispered in Xiao Rui's ear for a while, "Those Shasha have never heard of the authentic three-volume enlightenment lectures. They will mix in a lot of personal opinions... In fact, they are all their own family studies. Those from ordinary poor families and ordinary people. People can’t do much.”
It's that simple?
It's that simple!
Xiao Rui clearly saw the suppressed smile in Kong Yingda's eyes.
Angrily, he pushed the pile of books and test papers in front of him and said, "I didn't tell you earlier! You are in charge here. I will take a few days off."
What? Asking for leave? Are you the examiner and the chief grader? Can you take leave?
When Kong Yingda looked up again, Xiao Rui had disappeared.
