at this time.
King Yong is still in Yanqi.
Every day I feel the excitement of Yanqi City, with people coming and going, and my blood is boiling. If you don’t believe it, take a walk. Every day in shops, restaurants, and streets, people are discussing this imperial examination.
Did you win?
What did you report?
Do you have confidence?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why haven't we returned to Longyan? It's so hot in the Western Region!"
The princess who accompanied King Yong this time looked aggrieved.
King Yong glared at her: "Young Taoist, you know how to hammer! Yanqi is in the imperial examination. Do you know about the imperial examination? If you don't finish this kind of thing, how can you dare to go back?"
The princess was startled: "Huh? My lord, do you want to..."
King Yong smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I want to do it, but I have to study this imperial examination thoroughly. Do you understand that this is a big deal? Do you think that if I just go back like this, the Holy Master won't ask me about it?"
A group of people looked at each other.
King Yong sighed: "You guys, you are short-sighted. Do you really think that the Imperial Academy of the Holy One is just for nothing?"
"For such a big event, there are already a bunch of old guys cheering and waiting for a reply."
Follow.
He drank another glass of wine and sighed: "Liu Zhizhou, Liu Zhizhou, do you know that you are the first in the world, so you can become a leader. However, in dealing with people, being humble and keeping a low profile is what you should do. Don't do it for the world. First!"
…
Just as King Yong expected.
at this time.
The Hanlin Academy in Long Yanjinghua.
An Imperial Academy attendant ran in like crazy, waving a piece of paper in his hand, and shouted: "Here it comes, here it comes, the latest imperial examination regulations are here!"
A group of old men were waiting for He He. When they heard this, they all stood up one after another, their eyes shining.
These old men are not ordinary people.
Where is the Hanlin Academy? At the beginning, the Hanlin Academy was originally a place where people from all over the world were summoned by their arts and skills. People from literature, classics, monks and Taoism, calligraphy and painting, piano, chess, yin and yang, etc. were waiting for the emperor's summons with their expertise, which was called the Hanlin Academy. imperial edict.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, more literary scholars were used, called Hanlin enshrinements, to draft edicts and discuss current affairs.
In the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, another bachelor's college was built in the south of the Hanlin Academy to take charge of internal affairs. The original Hanlin Academy has since been divided into two, one for Hanlin bachelors and the other for Hanlin Academy, known as the old Hanlin Academy. Although both have the name Hanlin, their natures are very different. The former is dedicated to literary scholars and is a key department that drafts edicts and participates in military affairs. The latter is a mixture of people with various skills, and is an ordinary institution serving the monarch in the inner court.
In the late Tang Dynasty, a series of major changes took place in the political situation, with the separatist situation of vassal towns emerging and the monopoly of eunuchs becoming serious. The emperor and his courtiers united in their struggle against the eunuchs and party strife among the courtiers intensified. Under this political situation, Hanlin scholars, known as the Emperor's private individuals, were able to play a greater role in politics. First, he drafted internal control and staff advisors, usurping Zhongshu's power, and then involved in secrets, and his power reached its peak.
For example, the appointment and removal of prime ministers, the announcement of crusade orders, etc., because Hanlin bachelors were involved in secrets, they had great real power. Slowly, the power of the Hanlin Academy has become equivalent to that of the prime minister.
Later, he was also called the internal minister.
The Hanlin Academy originally refers to the forest of literature, where scholars and scholars gather together. A place that encompasses the study of all kinds of astronomy, geography, and other knowledge in the world... In short, the Hanlin Academy is the emperor's back garden, a central institution that is absolutely privately controlled.
However, most of the bachelors who serve in the Hanlin Academy are ministers.
Therefore, these people are the absolute powerful faction of Long Yan.
"I'm coming?"
"Read it quickly, read it!"
"The imperial examination is divided into civil examination, martial arts examination, craftsman examination, also known as industrial examination, each divided into three subjects..."
"Each subject will be given a perfect score of 100, and each subject will have a prescribed time..."
"Those with a total score of 240 will be successfully admitted and will be assigned positions based on their scores in each subject!"
"Essays on strategies for literary examination, current topics, eight-part essay..."
"Martial arts exercises are for..."
"Working examination..."
These old men in the Hanlin Academy bowed their heads and wrote hard.
Occasionally when I hear something exciting, I can’t help but pat my thigh and say, “Wonderful!”
"There are no flaws in this imperial examination method!"
"Hiring someone based on their ability is a great kindness!"
"This Liu Zhizhou is indeed a talent!"
The process of the imperial examination was carefully prepared by Liu Zheng, including the layout of the examination room, the methods to prevent fraud, the punishment for fraud, and then the scores given by the judges would be the average score of several people... everything seemed to be perfect. , circumventing any loophole anyone could think of.
These people are originally into culture and education, how could they not understand.
Is this a wise man?
Is this a talent selection mechanism that is more in line with the development of the times?
The praise without hesitation resounded in the Hanlin Academy for a while.
"Everyone..."
Zhu Qing coughed a few times and reminded: "Your Majesty lets us judge, not decide. This imperial examination method is of great importance, so you should be careful what you say!"
Only then did everyone wake up.
An old man stroked his beard and laughed and said: "Master Zhu, the exquisite is exquisite, and the wonderful is wonderful. I will never hide it, but I am the scholar of Zhu, who is the current minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Don't use this reminder." Take any stance!"
"you……"
Zhu Qing paused for a moment and said righteously: "What Mr. Liu said is different. I, Zhu Qing, am a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. How can I participate in that dirty power struggle?"
Mr. Liu laughed and said: "Isn't that right? You should know that this imperial examination method is a great blessing to the literati in the world!"
He sighed leisurely: "Since the opening of the Hanlin Academy in the first year of Pingyu, it has not made any achievements in academic or national policy. Everyone, the world has forgotten the existence of our Hanlin Academy!"
Everyone nodded sadly.
Liu Lao stood up tremblingly: "I, Liu Yu, have spent my whole life in the Hanlin Academy, and now I finally see a glimmer of light... If the imperial examination method was not perfect back then, the emperor was furious, but now Liu Zhizhou's set……"
He looked around and asked sincerely: "Everyone, are you just going to let it go to waste like this?"
"Your Majesty, what are you raising us for?"
"Hear it as high as heaven, and as low as the underworld!"
"If we don't even have advice, wouldn't we all become those sycophants!"
“Where is the character of a scholar?”
"What use is it for all the literati in the world to respect me as a scholar!"
Everyone clenched their fists when they heard this.
actually.
These people know it.
The reason why the Longyan Dynasty has stagnated, and why the Hanlin Academy has made no achievements in more than thirty years... The biggest reason is that there is no progress!
There is no one who can improve!
Decay, complacency, filled with the entire Dragon Flame!
Those who later entered the Hanlin Academy were all people who read ancient books and were full of pedantic ideas.
Without fresh blood, how can we make progress?
Without innovation and reform, how can we make progress?
People all over the world are fighting for power and gain. People in the Hanlin Academy are so high up there that, at a glance, everything is rotten, old and ugly.
Because they stand tall.
So they see far.
Hanlin Academy.
This is probably the last piece of pure land in the Longyan Dynasty.
Liu Yu stood up and laughed wildly: "How can I say that Liu Zhizhou, who invented the imperial examination method, is also a student of my Hanlin Academy. I will go and advise the emperor on this matter!"
Everyone was shocked.
"Old Liu, no!"
"teacher……"
"Master Liu!"
