These people who are watching from a distance are the children of aristocratic families in Anping County, Jizhou.
Looking at the test takers in the distance who were looking at the results, in addition to the unconcealed reluctance, there was also deep contempt in their eyes.
If those people were ordinary children from poor families, although their family status was lower than theirs, they would still belong to the ranks of scholars.
Even if some children from high-ranking families have prejudices against poor families, it is still an internal conflict within the class.
However, many of those who participated in the May imperial examination in Jizhou were not even from humble backgrounds.
They were just rough-edged men, but they actually got the chance to compete with them.
What's more, there are actually many candidates among these rough embryos.
The few cheering people just now are the kind of people who are not even ordinary people from poor families.
Because this New Deal imperial examination is not just about comparing classics and classics. If that were the case, the so-called imperial examination would simply be cheating for high-ranking families.
One of the foundations for the establishment of a noble family is to master the Confucian classics. If they were to simply compete with classics and history books, let alone ordinary people, even the wealthy and wealthy would have to kneel down.
You must know that during the Sui and Tang Dynasties when the imperial examination system developed rapidly, those who won the Jinshi examination were often the children of aristocratic families, and ordinary scholars were rare.
In Liu Yu's imperial examination, the six arts of a gentleman were tested, each with different proportions. It could be comprehensively evaluated, and if one encountered a particular aspect that was particularly outstanding, he could also be promoted as appropriate.
Therefore, many ordinary people who have advantages in certain aspects also have the opportunity to enter the examination room and give it a try.
"This so-called New Six Arts is simply slandering the famous religion! If these people who insult the ethics and religion are allowed to be officials, how can there be peace in the world!"
One of the middle-aged family members said angrily.
The advocate of the "New Six Arts" in the imperial examination was Kong Wei, Duke Yan of the Han Dynasty.
He claimed to have mastered the legacy of Confucius and after studying it for several generations, he finally achieved great success.
It just so happened that the wise king was born, just in time to bring order to the scholarly community!
After Kong Wei's rhetoric, the selection of officials in the new dynasty became a test of civil and military skills.
"Well, even if I win the argument, what will happen?"
"Now that the world is undecided, it's time to make achievements. Which one of these gray-headed Guizhou heads is not suddenly ambitious!"
"No matter what Yan Shenggong says, many people will agree."
Several other aristocratic families shook their heads and sighed.
Although these powerful families were extremely dissatisfied, the Han imperial examination lasted for two months and many scholars were selected.
You know, if this continues, not to mention Jizhou, even the poor families and civilian scholars in the entire Yanzhao area of Hebei will be won over.
When these people fill up all the official positions, members of these aristocratic families will have no chance at all.
Everyone was silent for a while, but their hearts were already greatly shaken.
Everyone had their own concerns, and when they returned home, they immediately started discussing with the elders of the clan.
As if they had made an appointment long ago, when the officials in Jizhou counties and counties went door-to-door to publicize the "New Scholarship Policy" as usual the next month, many high-ranking families silently sent out members of their clans. Some of his children went to apply for the examination.
Even the most resolutely opposed high-ranking families began to feel uneasy after hearing about this incident.
If all these aristocratic families resisted the New Deal, no matter how cruel Liu Yu was, he would definitely not be held accountable and would not dare to attack them.
But now, all these aristocratic families have their own thoughts, and there is no coordination at all to advance or retreat together.
In this way, the high-ranking nobles who are completely 'non-violent and non-cooperative' become particularly eye-catching!
The "law does not blame everyone" that was originally used to rely on has now been lost.
How can we not make them feel fear and fear.
You know, when brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were in power, they could persecute scholars who did not accept conquest!
Brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao dared to do this to disobedient people despite their efforts to win over the high-ranking families.
As for the emperor who was born as a traitor, wouldn't it be even more terrifying once he becomes ruthless?
When that time comes, these high-ranking families will be in complete danger.
Although each family is powerful, they may not be the opponents of the Han army.
As for external aid, it is even more depressing. The Xiongnu and Han kingdoms to the west are a country of beasts. The Yi Di whose step-sister-in-law marries his mother is simply more terrifying than the Qingzhou thieves. The emperor of Chang'an in Guanzhong is too far away and cannot be counted on at all. And King Langya in Jiangdong didn't even have to think about it. He heard that Sima Rui and Liu Yu were secretly working together to rule the Huaihe River.
Suddenly, these isolated noble families felt the danger of their situation.
Its response to the crisis can be said to be extremely fast.
By July, almost all the wealthy families in Jizhou sent their children to participate in the imperial examination to select scholars.
"Hahaha, Duke Yan is indeed a true sage! In just a few months, he has selected so many talents for me!"
Liu Yu held a piece of paper full of people's names in his hand and said happily to Kong Wei, the Duke of Yan, below.
"I just obeyed His Majesty's orders and acted according to the rules. I dare not claim credit!"
Duke Yansheng Kong Wei was obviously very happy as the toughness of these Jizhou aristocratic families was far lower than he expected.
It only took two or three months for ordinary people from poor families to select scholars, but these high-ranking families completely became a mess, and everyone began to put their own efforts into the future of their own families.
As for the crowd gathering and making noise that was expected before, it didn't even happen once.
"These are all talents! They must be put to good use. As Duke Yansheng is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he will have to waste more time!"
Liu Yu was very satisfied with Jizhou's results.
It turns out that the so-called toughness of these high-ranking families cannot last long in the face of absolute force, and they can only be separated after a little differentiation.
"I obey your will!"
Kong Wei responded immediately.
"Now that the Ministry of Personnel is under the jurisdiction of the Shangshutai, the authority to appoint and remove officials is still too small. I have already planned to upgrade the rank and authority of the Ministry of Personnel, so I will try to govern Jizhou and Youzhou for the time being."
Although the official officials in the Wei and Jin Dynasties had the same name as those in the later "Three Provinces and Six Ministries" system, their powers and official ranks were quite different.
At this time, the official power of the Ministry of Personnel was only able to influence the selection and transfer of officials of the ninth grade, which was far from being comparable to that of later generations.
At this time, Liu Yu had sufficient confidence that after the implementation of the New Deal based on force, he would be able to have a large number of officials from common people or lower.
It not only makes up for the shortage in quantity, but also avoids the monopoly of wealthy families as much as possible.
In this way, he can try to implement the three provinces and six ministries system.
This was used to reduce the extremely expanded "prime minister's power" in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and to strengthen the emperor's authority and control over middle- and lower-level officials.
However, this kind of thing cannot be rushed.
The best way now is to start by reducing the personnel power of the Chancellor.
"I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!"
Duke Yan Sheng Kong Wei immediately kowtowed and obeyed the order.
Now Kong Wei has figured out that he, the Ji Feiyan Shenggong, is definitely not a good person.
Not to mention standing at the front desk in Jizhou and facing the spit and criticism of the famous family members, even the "Sages' Sutras" that Liu Yu successively taught him were enough to torture him.
Fortunately, after several twists and turns, Kong Wei was already numb.
Even if he knew that the emperor's promotion of the power of the Minister of Civil Affairs would affect the interests of some people, Kong Wei would never hesitate at all.
Anyway, even if he hesitates, it's of no use.
It is better to honestly admit that all the "New Dynasty Elegance" and "Sages' Sutras" are under Kong Wei's name, in exchange for a rich and prosperous future.
Liu Yu still didn't know about all this.
He just saw that Yan Shenggong Kong Wei was decisive in doing things and was not afraid of offending the high-ranking Chinese. No matter what the task was, he could work hard and bear no complaints. He was worthy of being a model of obeying the emperor and his ministers.
But they never thought that Kong Wei, the Duke of Yansheng, just knew that resistance was useless, so he just laid on equal footing and did it.

Sizhou, Hongnong County.
Tongguan.
As a pass that controls the main road in the pass, it has long been in the possession of the Xiongnu and Han Dynasties.
Outside Tongguan, with flags flying and heavily guarded by troops, is Sizhou, a vast plain.
A large team was arriving outside Tongguan along the winding road.
The people in this team include warriors wearing military uniforms and armor, as well as strong men holding simple weapons. There are also many young women and children mixed in the crowd.
The length of the team can be said to be very long, but it is difficult to see it all at a glance.
Such a strange team did not look like barbarians coming and going like the wind at all, but looked like an ordinary army of refugees.
At the front of the team, a Han flag led the army to march slowly.
"General, Tongguan is ahead!"
A rough-looking general pointed forward with his hand and said loudly to a general with a scar on his face next to him.
"Tongguan?"
The scar-faced warrior looked up into the distance, but happened to see a group of cavalry appearing in front of him.
The cavalry in sight were all highly skilled in riding, and they quickly arrived in front of them.
After arriving not far away, the appearance of these cavalry was revealed.
It turned out that these cavalry were all Hu cavalry dressed as Huns.
A young commander headed by Hu Qizhong reined in his horse and asked loudly forward.
"Is there a hussar general in front of you?"
After the scar-faced warrior heard this, the muscles on his face shrank and he slowly replied in a thick voice.
"Yes, it is General Gou! Who sent you?"
It turned out that the general with a scar on his face was Gou Xi who had fled to Nanyang.
"General Hussar, wait a moment. This little guy was sent by the Great Chanyu to greet the general here. Please wait a moment while I go to report back to the Great Chanyu!"
After saying that, these Huns cavalry quickly turned their horses and returned.
At this time, a general with sinister eyes flashed out from behind Gou Xi.
"Gong Gou, this great Chanyu is the son of Liu Cong. This courtesy is quite generous."
"Haha, Brother Wang Xian is serious. Now that you and I are reduced to this, it is not easy to have a place to live. How can we dare to ask for any extravagant courtesy?"
The person who was talking to Gou Xi was none other than Wang Mi's younger brother Wang Zhang.
It turned out that since Wang Mi was killed, tens of thousands of refugees under his subordinates immediately fled. Wang Zhang, who lacked prestige, was unable to command. Under the attack of Yingchuan, Huainan and other Jin armies, he could only lead his followers to flee around Yuzhou. The place of battle.
Emperors Liu Zan and Gou Xi of the Southern Han Dynasty, who happened to defect to Nanyang, temporarily saved thousands of troops under their command.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and things in the world always play tricks on people.
Shortly after Wang Zhang and his remaining defeated generals defected to Liu Zan and Gou Xi, the Jin army in Jingzhou launched a massive attack.
At this time, the Han Kingdom in Nanyang had strong enemies outside and no food reserves at home. Even with Gou Xi's talents like Bai Qi and Han Xin, it was difficult for him to resist the Jin army without enough troops.
After several twists and turns, the situation had not yet been resolved. Liu Zan, the emperor of Nanyang Han Kingdom, suddenly died of illness.
After the death of this sixty-year-old man, he had no children or grandchildren, and the Han Kingdom of Nanyang was about to fall into disintegration.
Under this situation, it was difficult for the Southern Han Dynasty General Gou Xi to restrain the numerous refugee troops under his command.
Seeing that being trapped in Nanyang is the inevitable end.
At this time, Wang Zhang, who had recently taken refuge with the Huns, suggested to Gou Xi that he might as well go north to join the Huns and Han.
You must know that when Liu Yuan, the Xiongnu Emperor of Han Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor, he followed Emperor Zhaolie of Shu Han Dynasty and his empress to the Seven Temples. After calculation, Liu Zan, the Emperor of Han Dynasty in Nanyang who just died, can be regarded as Liu Yuan of peers.
The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Han Kingdom in Nanyang can also be regarded as the soldiers and horses of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom.
As soon as this suggestion came out, Gou Xi, as the commander-in-chief, had not had time to express his position, but his subordinates and refugee commanders all agreed.
After all, most of the refugees in Nanyang are people from the Yong and Qin states in Guanzhong.
The reason why they fled to Nanyang was not because of the Huns and Han Kingdom, but because of the fight between Sima Yong and Sima Yue, the kings of Hejian.
Now that Nanyang can't stay any longer, it's better to go back to Guanzhong directly.
Gou Xi was originally ashamed to seek refuge with the Huns, but when the Jin army in Jingzhou became more and more pressing, many of the refugees in Guanzhong under his command actually began to flee on their own, and Gou Xi had no choice but to do so.
If he continues like this, it won't be long before he, Gou Xi, will become a naked man.
Under Wang Zhang's guidance, the Huns Emperor Liu Cong was overjoyed when he learned that Gou Xi, the "reincarnation of Han Bai", was coming to seek refuge.
Not only did he immediately reward Gou Xi with the title of Duke and General of Hussars, but he also promised to use the land in Guanzhong to resettle the tens of thousands of refugees under his command.
Gou Xi's tribe, which had already been devastated and almost wanted to eat the entire army, immediately began their journey back north to Guanzhong.
"Now that Chang'an has not been conquered, it is time for us to make great achievements!"
Wang Zhang looked at the faint shadow of Tongguan in the distance and said to Gou Xi next to him.
On the way to and from Tongguan, Gou Xi was always depressed.
Wang Zhang knew that Gou Xi had always been concerned about seeking refuge with the Huns, as he felt it would be a loss of status.
He was afraid that Gou Xi would return halfway, so he only had good words to say along the way.
Now that victory was in sight, he naturally continued to work harder to prevent Gou Xi from causing any unhappiness after seeing the Xiongnu Emperor and the Chanyu.
"My brother defeated Luoyang, this time it is Brother Gou's turn to defeat Chang'an!"
