There is only one way to go to the imperial examination. Although the content of the examination has changed several times, how can it be new?

Li Guangyuan said: "It is said that another imperial examination is to be held, and it will be carried out at the same time as the normal imperial examination."

Mr. Qingxia frowned and said, "What is the imperial examination? What is the exam? Who will take it?"

Li Guangyuan said: "The court is discussing, but the general idea has been pointed out, it is called the gentleman test, which is a gentleman, and the six arts are tested."

Six arts, rituals, music, archery, guile, books, numbers... Every scholar has some knowledge, but isn't the exam a joke? What's the use?

Li Guangyuan said: "It's not a joke, but it's very useful. The gentleman's examination has been decided. Now the court is discussing the treatment of participating in this kind of scientific examination... and the candidates will directly participate in the imperial examination."

Mr. Qingxia was surprised. A scholar who passed the county examination can get the status of a scholar, and only a juren can pass the provincial examination. How many people have wasted their life and cannot get the status of a juren. However, this gentleman examination can make people skip three exams and get the status of a scholar and a juren directly. This is simply... A huge temptation, aren't the students in the world excited?

Li Guangyuan said: "Of course there are risks. If you fail to pass the exam, then all your previous efforts will be wasted." Then those who could pass the exam step by step would have to wait three years later... How many three years can you have in your life? Who can guarantee that you will pass the exam in three years?

Mr. Qingxia breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "This can make people calm down." But she still frowned, "But it's still too ridiculous..." she looked at Li Guangyuan, "Don't you need to go to this for inspection?"

Li Guangyuan said: "Of course... there is no need to carry it." Etiquette, music, sprinting, books, and numbers are not something that can be done by flipping books.

Mr. Qingxia looked at him and said, "So this is what the adults above thought of? So she can go directly to the capital? Is it so obvious that it will not arouse suspicion?"

Li Guangyuan twisted his beard and said, "It seems that it is not because of her... but this is also very suitable for her, so it is fueled by her, so there should be no doubts."

Mr. Qingxia said: "Who is that?" The court would never have done such a ridiculous thing for no reason.

Li Guangyuan lowered his voice and said, "Prince of Xiliang Suo Shengxuan."

......

"absurd!"

The court suddenly raised his head and shouted, which made the little emperor who was dozing off on the dragon chaise suddenly wake up. Where did he go? Should he say he had left the court? Fortunately, the eunuch beside him cleverly supported him and made a gesture of silence.

The little emperor blinked and looked at the audience. He saw an official in red robe shook his sleeves and stared at Song Yuan. His angry beard started to blow... It was fun.

"Song Yuan, you are using the great power of the country to please the Gentiles."

Several more officials stood up, and their expressions were also angry.

"...What do you think of our scholars? Accompany Prince Nasuo for fun?"

"...The gentleman tried, where should we place the saint?"

"...Your Majesty, this will ruin the hearts of my scholars in the world..." An old official with gray hair even trembled and griefed at the little emperor.

The little emperor looked at Qin Tan Gong quietly. Qin Tan Gong did not respond, so he sat upright and did not respond.

Song Yuan raised his hand and waved at the officials who almost pointed at his nose, saying, "It's wrong for you to think this way... This is not the heart of the scholars in the world, but the heart of the scholars in the world... Do you know how many talented people have been blocked by an imperial examination? Some people are not suitable for the imperial examination, but they are not talented, but they only specialize in a skill. For example, some people who write outstanding poetry and painting are not ignorant, but they have spent more time on poetry and books, and the imperial examination is slightly worse... How many people have wasted their time and have to hide in the mountains and forests... Lord Qu..."

He suddenly shouted.

Qu Bai, who stood in the queue of officials, was stunned for a moment.

Song Yuan stretched his neck to look at him and shouted: "Do you think it's a pity?"

Qu Bai frowned and hesitated, "It's a pity."

Song Yuan nodded to him, looked at everyone again, and said, "It was said that this matter was proposed by Lord Qu..."

Qu Bai looked shocked.

Everyone looked at Qu Bai. Since Chen Xiangye stopped going to court after he was sick, the officials who originally belonged to him either followed Wang Xiangye, or were silent in the court to protect themselves... and actually made a suggestion? Is Chen Xiangye going to return to court?

A whisper suddenly rang in the hall.

"Sir Qu, when are you..."

"Is that happening on that day? You didn't say anything..."

"This Song and Yuan lent you on purpose..."

Some officials who are close friends with Qu Bai also whispered reminders.

Qu Bai also remembered that day. In the morning, when he was outside the palace, he was arguing with the Song and Yuan dynasties because he was talking about a prostitute singing poems in Chang'an City, and he was arguing with the Song and Yuan dynasties. He wrote poems and was talented and the imperial examination...

Qu Bai nodded and stepped forward, saying, "Yes, I think the current imperial examination has indeed caused many talented people to lose opportunities and cannot be used by the court."

As soon as these words were spoken, the discussion became louder, and the eyes that looked over were surprised and meaningful.

Song Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, I have no education, I have never had an imperial examination, what I said doesn't count, I don't understand. Lord Qu is a master of poetry and books from a Jinshi... What he said always makes sense, right?"

The officials who had questioned before looked at Qu Bai, but Qu Bai didn't say anything again.

"Actually, I think this is very simple."

A voice sounded, mellow and powerful, the noisy whispers in the court disappeared, and the eyes were also looking forward.

Qin Tan Gong held the python robe and jade belt and spoke slowly: "...It is to hold an imperial examination that is different from the past, so that the scholars in the world can show their style. Of course, Suo Shengxuan is a reason. He admires my scholars in the Great Zhou so much, but actually admires my saints and gentlemen of the Great Zhou. In fact, it is not just him, but all the friends and neighbors around him are like this. This is also to recognize that my Great Zhou is the foundation of literature in the world... How many children from the Imperial Academy come to study because of this, just because of their identity, they cannot participate in the imperial examination in the Great Zhou..."

He looked around the officials.

"... So I think it is necessary to hold this kind of imperial examination, so that the children of friendly countries compete with my great Zhou scholars, make up for their regrets, and show that my great Zhou literary style and gentleman style are also given to talented scholars in the world..."

Song Yuan followed and said, "Yes, this is a matter of promoting our country's power. How can we please others?"

Qin Tan said justice: "I ordered people to check it out. There are indeed many talented people who are not successful in the imperial examination, such as a math master..." He stretched out his hand to signal.

An official immediately stood up and took a list and read it: "Dong Gu, a native of Dingzhou, is a mathematical genius who can do great things and find numbers. He has achieved success in astronomy, calendar, hydrology, but the imperial examination has not been completed for ten years. He is still an official in the local county government office and is engaged in the grain and grain count."

Duke Qin Tan looked at everyone and said, "If such a talent comes to the court, or the Bureau of Literature and History or the water conservancy fortifications, it will definitely be of great use, and it will benefit the country and the people." He pointed to the list in the official's hand, "There are countless such people." He turned to look at Wang Xiangye, "Prince, what do you think?"

Wang Xiangye, who had been silent, pondered and said, "This matter is not a trivial matter, you should think carefully... You should not be neglected at all, otherwise it will become a farce."

Qin Tan Gong smiled and said, "What the Prime Minister said is very true. My general doesn't understand these things. The Prime Minister must arrange them thoroughly." After that, he signaled, "We will ask Your Majesty to decide?"

Prince Wang turned around and leaned over with Duke Qin Tan to salute: "Please decide."

The little emperor sat upright and said, "Accurate."

.....

This matter was unprecedented. The officials whispered and walked out of the court. Qu Bai did not participate in it and left directly. He only took two servants out of the Imperial Street and walked through the lush street to a remote alley, knocking on the gate of a courtyard.

This courtyard is not magnificent, but it is simple and quiet, with flowers and plants everywhere. Following an old servant, you can see a small vegetable field. In April, the green leaves and melons are lush, which can be seen carefully.

When I walked through a door, I saw a hall with doors and windows wide open, and there was a large desk of calligraphy inside. An old man about sixty years old, who was elegant and thin in appearance was standing in front of him, with a serious expression, as if he was thinking about important things.

The old servant retreated without reporting. Qu Bai walked into the door and stood beside the old man. He saw a large piece of paper on the desk of the big book, with no words blank.

"Teacher, can't finish writing anymore?" Qu Bai said.

The old man nodded, not as if he was surprised because someone suddenly entered the room. He said solemnly: "Yes, always breathe less." After that, he looked up and said, "Manzi, why are you here?"

Qu Bai, whose name is Manzi, reached out and took the tea beside him and handed it to the old man, saying, "Teacher, I don't understand why you made me agree with the matter proposed by Song Yuan."

The old man took the tea and drank it, "No, because this is pretty good."

Because I think it's good, I do something, which seems a bit casual.
