Jianwu three years.
Chinese New Year.
The New Year flavor is very strong.
It also makes sense.
then. Ten thousand households from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty invaded Liaodong, and all of Liaodong fell. Now the king of Han has founded the country, established the state of Ji, and has strong soldiers and horses.
This year is the first year after the liberation of Liaodong and the expulsion of the Tartars.
The first Spring Festival.
In Jiang County, every household is busy visiting relatives and neighbors. Children, big and small, were laughing and making noise in groups, and the sound of children's laughter was endless.
Chen Ning, an old man in the east of the city, sat in front of the gate, squinting his eyes, smoking a dry cigarette, and watching the children playing, feeling very satisfied.
“After experiencing war, we know how valuable peace is.”
"Your Majesty, Shenwu, protect my mountains and rivers."
West of the city. This year he is seventy-two, a childless and helpless old man, Chen Shan. Sitting in front of the stove to keep warm, there are three kilograms of meat hanging on the wall and the rice vat is full of rice.
The imperial court subsidized the people, and provided rice and meat to those who were alone, widowed, old or weak.
Chen Shan kept warm while smiling, very happy.
This was the first year of expelling the Tartars and regaining Liaodong. The people of Han lived a very fat life.
In the palace.
As usual. Princes, young masters, and princes all came to see Wu Nian uniformly. The eldest princess, Wu, brought her daughter-in-law Li Ya and her grandson Zhang Xiong to the palace to celebrate the New Year.
Wu Nian smiled and gathered with his family, then left the harem and arrived at the imperial study room in the front palace to accept the worship of the civil and military ministers who were currently in Jiang County.
Cabinet of five.
They are the first assistant Liu Zhixing, the second assistant Li Yong, Zhang Haiping, Cui Wushuang, and Gongsun Sang. Li Yong's old bones were very strong, and he came through forcefully. His complexion looked good.
Liu Zhixing continued to take the lead and was the main force in the cabinet.
Zhang Haiping continues to shine. Cui Wushuang and Gongsun Sang, who are new to the cabinet, are full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm. The official positions left vacant after they left were filled by others.
The officialdom of the Han Dynasty turned a new page.
In the land of ten mansions, there are five cabinet ministers.
As the territory expanded and the population grew, the bureaucracy also grew larger.
After the New Year, Han continued to maintain its upward momentum and was very strong. The generals in each department used veterans to lead new troops, and the army gradually recovered its strength.
Huanglong Mansion's two new garrison houses gradually gained some momentum.
At least standing on the top of the city, there is no problem in defending the city.
The newly acquired Huanglong Mansion was quickly integrated into the Han Dynasty's system and became an indispensable existence.
The growth of population and land has made commercial activities further prosperous.
The most important one is the imperial examination.
I studied hard for ten years in a cold window, just to get my name on the gold list.
In the morning he was a farmhouse man, and in the evening he ascended to the Emperor's Hall.
Learn a skill and serve your father.
The scholars in Liaodong and Youyan were happy and full of enthusiasm. A long time has passed since Wu Nian annexed Youyan.
Lu Sheng, the governor of Youyan, promoted it well. Currently, scholars in Youyan can not only write well, but also speak fluent Chudu Mandarin.
Going to Liaodong and taking part in the palace examination is not a problem at all.
certainly. Some traditional scholars are also dissatisfied. This time the exam actually required geography, arithmetic, and science.
But there is no way, Junfu’s order.
If you don’t take the exam, get out.
If you don’t take the exam, some people will take the exam.
Because of Wu Nian's overweight, many people did not pass the exam.
Those who are admitted to the scholar examination are actively preparing to be admitted to the examination.
Those who failed to pass the examination can only pinch their noses and learn new knowledge, hoping to pass the examination in the next imperial examination.
From this aspect, it has positive meaning.
In order to take the imperial examination, scholars had to accept new knowledge.
If you don't accept new knowledge, you can only be eliminated. Studying hard in the cold window turns into a dream.
May. Scholars from Liaodong and Youyan, as well as students from the Imperial College, conducted provincial examinations, and the imperial court selected candidates.
Not to mention the candidates for Liaodong, the candidates for Youyan were escorted by troops sent by Governor Lu Sheng to Jiang County, the capital, to take part in the examination.
In this imperial examination, the imperial court admitted 230 Jinshi.
Divided into three lists.
Passed the first grade of Jinshi.
Second Class Jinshi.
The top three are the same as Jinshi.
The examination is to elect Jinshi from among the candidates. In other words, passing the examination is equivalent to becoming a Jinshi. The final palace examination is the official ranking.
The palace examination was held in the main hall, and Wu Nian took the examination in person.
morning.
In the imperial study room. Wu Nian was sitting on the throne, drinking tea. It is also the wild mountain tea from Beishanbao. Wu Nian likes this one the most.
ahead.
Cabinet ministers, lined up.
"Your Majesty, this is the list of the top ten for the examination after discussion among the ministers." Liu Zhixing held a booklet and handed it to Wu Nian respectfully.
Wu Nian reached out and took it, opened the folder and looked at it. I feel very fond of the first name.
Zhang Songshan.
"Where does this Songshan person come from? How old is he?" Wu Nian raised his head and asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty. He is from Nanhai Prefecture in Liaoning Province. He is twenty-eight years old this year." Liu Zhixing said as much as he knew from his family.
"Young talent." Wu Ningqing nodded lightly.
Among the people, the old are respected and the young are respected. But in the officialdom, young people still have the advantage. The imperial examination is abnormal. Some people are gray-haired and still taking the imperial examination.
Even if a gray-haired old man is admitted, it will be of little significance to the country.
"Since he is the one you have decided on, then it should be him. According to the plan, in ten days, the palace examination will be held. I will test them myself."
Wu Nian put down the book in his hand, raised his head and smiled at the cabinet ministers, fully expressing his trust.
"Yes." The ministers responded in agreement.
The king makes decisions, and cabinet ministers provide advice. The first imperial examination of the Han Dynasty, the imperial examination list for the third year of Jianwu was issued.
Zhang Songshan, a 28-year-old native of Nanhai Prefecture, graduated from high school.
For a time, the city of Jiang County was filled with people. Some people are happy and some are sad. Some people are ready to go home and continue to study hard and wait for the next opportunity.
Someone plans to get drunk in the capital.
The prospective Jinshi who passed the examination will naturally continue to study hard to prepare for the palace examination ten days later.
August twenty-fifth.
The palace door opens.
Two hundred and thirty prospective Jinshi, dressed in clean and tidy clothes, headed to the main hall under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites.
After entering the main hall, everyone took their seats according to the number plates.
Many people looked up secretly and looked at the king's father sitting high on the throne.
This general is powerful and good at fighting, and he is a wise king who knows people well and is responsible for their duties.
On the throne.
Wu Nian wears a black gauze winged crown and a dragon robe, and is relatively far away from the prospective Jinshi. The prospective Jinshi could not see clearly what he looked like.
But the face is not important at this moment, the aura and environment are important.
The would-be Jinshi scholars only sighed when they saw it.
He is indeed a king and father, and his majesty comes naturally.
In the morning he was a farmhouse man, and in the evening he ascended to the Emperor's Hall.
Just today.
