In summer, you can only feel some coolness in the early morning. Early in the morning, thousands of scholars waited outside various examination rooms in advance, waiting for the start of the imperial examination later.
As for the martial arts competition, a large number of warriors rushed into the military camp, and the martial arts section of the military competition began at the same time as the civil examination. The art of war in the martial arts examination is carried out after the civil examination.
After all, many people took two exams out of the three exams: Civil Examination, Art of War, and Martial Arts. For example, Zhuge Liang took both the Civil and Military Examinations for art of war, while Su Baotong took two exams for the Martial Arts Examination. They all signed up, so Li Xiang had to divide his time between them.
As long as you have talent, Li Xiang doesn't mind setting up a stage for you to fully demonstrate your talents.
"All the heroes in the world are here!" Li Xiang said proudly on a high-rise building near the imperial examination room as he looked at the sea of people.
At this time, Li Xiang seemed to understand Tang Taizong's pride when he said these words.
On the street, Dian Wei led three hundred tiger guards to protect a carriage. On top of the carriage were the questions for this imperial examination.
Now that he has decided to implement the imperial examination, Li Xiang must try his best to maintain its fairness. If it loses fairness, then the imperial examination will lose its original meaning.
Therefore, from examination questions to post-exam reviews, Li Xiang has developed a series of means to ensure his fairness.
Take this exam question for example. From the day it was formulated, it was monitored by Tiger Guards until it was transported to various scientific examination examination rooms. The examiner of the examination questions is not allowed to meet with outsiders for the next few days until the official start of the imperial examination.
Another example is the implementation of a name-blinding system, in which all personal information such as the candidate's name, place of origin, etc. at the beginning of the examination paper must be sealed or cut to prevent the examiner from cheating for personal gain.
At the same time, the candidate's final score is not determined by one marking officer, but the final decision is made based on the opinions of all five marking officers.
As for the specific content of the examination questions, everything including the scriptures and biographies of sages, hundreds of schools of thought, the general trend of the world, and political strategies will be examined.
It's not just about scientific examinations. When Mingde Academy was founded, Li Xiang did not stick to the teachings of a certain school, but absorbed as many as possible all the schools of thought into it.
Li Xiang naturally knows that controlling thoughts can be more conducive to safeguarding the interests of the ruling class and the rule of the royal family, but Li Xiang doesn't care about this!
If Li Xiang can really achieve the eternal emperor's legacy, he doesn't care whether his descendants can keep the family legacy. When he closes his eyes and dies, the flood behind him will no longer matter!
If he can create a world for his descendants, does he need to help them worry about how to protect the emperor?
If a future generation still dreams of the dream of being an emperor for thousands of generations like the First Emperor Ying Zheng, he would really be a madman and an idiot. The general trend of the world is that if it is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. How can there really be a dynasty foundation that lasts for thousands of generations?
What's more, in Li Xiang's view, controlling the thoughts of the people in the world, or even implementing a policy of obscuring the people, is the same as the isolation of the country in later generations. Stabilizing the rule for a while, but causing disaster for generations to come! Li Xiang would not bother to do such behavior!
Even though, with his power expanding day by day, Li Xiang has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before, but he still has some persistence in his heart!
"Lord, is this imperial examination method really going to be established as the official selection system in the future?" Guo Jia said with a somewhat excited face, and there was a faint smell of alcohol coming from his body.
This libertine might have spent the night in a brothel again last night.
In the blink of an eye, it has been several years since Guo Jia came to work under Li Xiang, and the youthfulness of the two of them has unconsciously faded away as they grew up.
Guo Jia, who has matured, has finally shown the style that a top counselor should have. At least, this kid also made a lot of contributions when he was at Hulao Pass, helping Wei Qing crack down on many of Cao Cao, Xun You, and Cui. The plan of Hao and others.
The only pity is that this guy's health is a big problem. Sun Simiao, An Daoquan and others have already looked at him one after another. This kid has the root cause of the disease since his mother's womb. In addition, he did not get nursed back to health in time the day after tomorrow. With this The medical methods of the era do not offer a radical cure, and can only be suppressed with drugs.
Even if they are miracle doctors like Sun Simiao, they are only humans, not gods, and they cannot solve all difficult and complicated diseases. Even, let alone the Three Kingdoms period, even in modern times, not all diseases can be cured!
It's a pity that this guy is a libertine, and he is indispensable for drinking and women. Even Li Xiang can't control him, and this also makes his condition keep recurring, and the effect of suppressing it with drugs is very limited.
There is also Xi Zhicai, whose situation is similar to Guo Jia. However, Xi Zhicai's self-control is much stronger than Guo Jia's. Compared with Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai just loves wine, and he only drinks a little less every once in a while, which is very cooperative with Sun Simiao's treatment.
"Naturally, since we have already started, how can we give up halfway? The way to get a scholar is to learn and be good and then become an official." Li Xiang looked down at the scholars who started to take the exam one by one, and couldn't help but said firmly.
There is no absolutely perfect system in this world, and the same goes for the imperial examination system, which also has its drawbacks. But at least for now, it is progressive and can bring benefits to this society.
Hearing this, Guo Jia rarely became serious. If the imperial examination system is implemented for a long time, poor families will definitely be the beneficiaries.
Although far inferior to the aristocratic family, there are also many talented people among poor families. After all, in the final analysis, poor families are not ordinary people, but those families whose family status is relatively low or has simply begun to decline.
However, many scholars from poor families were not recognized for their talents when they were young. They were full of talents but had no chance to show what they had learned. Now the imperial examination system introduced by Li Xiang is to give children from poor families all over the world a chance to stand out and compete with the children of rich and powerful families in talent and learning. .
"Let's go and have a look at the martial arts competition. It's much more exciting there today!" Li Xiang stood up and said with a smile.
The martial arts examination is indeed much more exciting than the civil examination. Instead of watching these scholars writing furiously here, it would be better to go to the martial arts competition to see the fighting between dragons and tigers.
On the liberal arts side, Li Xiang specially opened a summons, and naturally there will be a large number of talents, but on the martial arts side, there are also many strong people. As far as Li Xiang knows, this time, the boys from Yue Fei and Su Lie's family did not Idle.
Moreover, in order to give this martial arts competition a little fanfare, Li Xiang also sent away the golden platform in his mansion.
