After going to court, all the ministers came out of the palace in twos and threes.
On the road, many people gathered around Li Zhengfang, and they kept raising their hands and saying:
"Congratulations, congratulations..."
"Yes, Mr. Li, now that the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of this matter, it means that it has political resources..."
"Huh? Where, under the king's order, I should do my best to relieve the king's worries." Li Zhengfang said with a smile, not to mention how happy he was, his face was full of spring breeze.
Zheng Shiwei and Yan Ming were walking together, but he shook his head and complained somewhat: "It's all my fault, Mr. Yan. He shouldn't have come out to argue with me too early. Instead, he, Li Zhengfang, gained the upper hand."
"Well, the officials do have advantages. We can't argue with this." Yan Ming also shook his head.
And this time, Xiao Yuan intended to recruit talents from all over the country in the Enke promotion, so the scene was very big, and it was not just talk.
Under the edict of King Qin, officials from various places did not dare to neglect, and the news quickly spread throughout the world.
For a time, the scholars were all excited.
What people didn't expect was that the number of students taking the exam in Liangdi, which had just been pacified, was no less than that in Qin and Shu.
In that era, who doesn't want to be an official? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
There are countless students who have signed up to take the exam in front of schools in various places. It is like a market. You can see crowds of people in front of any school.
Xuzhou.
The county guard here is now Zhang Jingrui.
I don't know how many people gathered in front of the school, and students from the north accounted for the majority.
There was a crowd of people at the registration place, and Xuzhou University Scholar was even more panicked. He shouted repeatedly: "Oh! Why don't you quickly report to the county government and ask for support from officers and soldiers to maintain order..."
"Yes, yes, the villain will do it right away." His subordinates responded repeatedly.
There were indeed too many people at the scene. Not only were there countless students, but there were also many people around, pointing and talking.
Not long after, at the request of Xuzhou Academy, which was also a state institution, Zhang Jingrui personally issued an order, ordering Xuzhou Wuwei Palace to rush to the scene to maintain public order.
With the arrival of a large number of soldiers, the scene finally stabilized, and queues began to form at the registration area, which became orderly.
But soon, turmoil broke out again.
A young student, whose face turned red with anger, shouted loudly: "Why!? I came all the way to Xuzhou, and just because my household registration is in a remote area in the north, I am not allowed to take the exam!?"
"The king's order to the world is very clear. Any student, regardless of origin, can go to various universities to take exams! If you refuse the students from the north, we will definitely sue the king!"
"That's right!"
As soon as he finished speaking, some northern students also started to raise their arms.
A scholar from the academy was sitting behind the case, with an anxious look on his face, and explained repeatedly: "It's not that, it's not that, but there are too many people. Xuzhou Academy can't cope with it..."
This situation is not limited to Xuzhou, which shows how big the repercussions of this matter are.
However, after the county governor Zhang Jingrui learned about this, he immediately gave Xuzhou Academy a suggestion. If there were too many people, divide them into two groups. If two groups were not enough, divide them into three groups. In short, the king's decree was here, and Xuzhou could not refuse it. Any student.
The school did not dare to neglect, and immediately accepted Zhang Jingrui's suggestion and began to deal with the matter.
As for Wang Ting, after the news came back, Xiao Yuan also thought about it and said, "Just follow Zhang Jingrui's method and send a royal order to the governors of various places."
When Liu Yuzhi heard the words, he first responded, and then couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, this matter has caused too much repercussions. The number of students taking the examination has exceeded expectations, especially in the north. This is what no one expected. "
"Isn't this better?" Xiao Yuan smiled.
At the same time, he also wrote a letter in his own hand, which was sent to Xuanguo at great speed.
This letter is an exchange between the two monarchs. It is said to be a letter of credence, but in fact it is more like a private letter.
In the letter, Xiao Yuan addressed himself as "Wang Mei" at the beginning, and emphatically stated his gratitude to King Xuan. Finally, he said that he had just returned home and was troubled by trivial matters. There was really no other way. After finishing the matters at hand, he would definitely go to Xuan Kingdom in person. Thank you in person, Qin will never be ungrateful, please forgive me.
After receiving his letter, King Xuan didn't say anything. He just smiled, put away the silk book, and said at the same time:
"Is Qin making another big move?"
"Yes, King Qin is doing some kind of civil service promotion." Yang Zhao returned.
King Xuan smiled and said: "He always surprises people. He is the first of his kind. All the officials recommended by other countries are from the descendants of aristocratic families. In this way, the common people of Qin will have an opportunity. You can imagine the people's support."
"Then... Your Majesty, we can also follow suit. In this way, we will indeed discover more talents." Yang Zhao said tentatively.
King Xuan shook his head: "No, Xuan Guo cannot handle this matter."
After saying that, she asked again: "Ministers, do you have any discussion on this?"
"Yes, we have been discussing this matter recently..."
More than two months later, Qinzhou.
Qinzhou City at this time was extremely lively.
Because the preliminary examinations from various places have passed, students who have passed have already poured in here.
On the street, young people dressed as scholars can be seen everywhere.
Some people walked together in twos and threes, curiously discussing everything in Qinzhou City.
Some inns and restaurants have been packed every day recently, making the bosses smile from ear to ear.
Full of fragrance garden.
Seeing several students walking in, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted them in person, and said happily: "Oh, when I see a few of them, they are the students taking the exam. That's amazing. Hurry, come upstairs and invite me to the private room, my Manxiang Garden , but there are many scholars who have left writings here."
"Oh? Really?" When one of the students heard this, he immediately became interested: "Please show me the shopkeeper, I want to see what kind of writing these poor people can leave behind."
That's what he said.
In the hall on the first floor, there were many other students eating. After hearing this, someone immediately curled his lips and said:
"You northern students are really loud. Do you dare to compare poetry with me?"
"Compare, compare, how do you want to compare!"
"Compose a poem on this building!"
"good!"
This kind of situation happened many times. For a time, Qinzhou literature became very popular.
At the same time, Li Zhengfang's mansion.
The latter is looking at the list of those who have passed the preliminary examination: "So many northern students? It's really troublesome!"
"Yes, sir." A subordinate official returned: "In addition, Mr. Zhou, Neiyoushi, has sent a letter, asking for your consideration."
"What are you considering?" Li Zhengfang frowned.
"This..." The official did not dare to speak easily, but the meaning was self-evident.
Li Zhengfang now has great power, and there are countless people who want to fawn over him.
