Chapter 373 The Power of Idols
"I don't want these things. Even if I am a county magistrate, I am willing to do it for the sake of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Hyit's hypocritical! I don't like you. You guys might not even be able to pass the Jinshi exam by then?"
"You can pass the exam. Are you a Jinshi cabbage growing in this place? If you are a Jinshi, I'm afraid you will be the top scholar!"
"Then let's wait for the results to be released. Let me see if you can still have the same virtue as today!"
The candidates didn't know each other very well. They came from all over the world and even spoke accents. However, during the past few months of preparation, they either lived next door, had similar family backgrounds, or had similar personalities. They gathered together in groups of three or three. In addition to reviewing, they always liked to sit together and have a drink. Even if they were short of money, they would try their best to lay the foundation for this emotion.
Of course, if they all got a Jinshi in high school, they would indeed have a friendship with classmates in the officialdom in the future. However, once they did not have high school, the money and feelings would probably be in vain. In the end, they might have to go back to their hometown to farm, or have a child, and then put their hopes on their children after twenty years.
Throughout history, people's pursuit of success has never changed. The atmosphere of hoping that their children will become successful has not changed for thousands of years, and may not change in thousands of years.
Whether it is these candidates or the ordinary people living in the city, they all have one thing in common, that is, they admire the emperor Li Yan from the bottom of their hearts. This is obviously the most precious wealth of the emperor Li Yan in the Tang Dynasty. Now, Li Yan and his think tanks are taking advantage of this to allow Li Yan to complete the upgrade and transformation of the Tang Dynasty this morning.
This time, he also secretly left the city, but when he came back, he didn't have to sneak into the city. When he learned that Li Neng and Guo Ziyi were about to arrive, all the officials of the third rank and above in the court were neatly greeted at the city gate. The specification was as if Li Neng had gone to save the world and successfully returned.
Li Neng didn't expect Liu Yan and Xu Yuan to play this way, but when he saw this posture, he understood that this was to make the luck brought to him and the Tang Dynasty this time reach a peak.
Li Yi is powerful and has status, so he didn't feel any pressure to accept these things. From Chang'an City Gate to Tai Chi Palace, Li Yi rode his horse all the way.
His speed was not fast, slow enough for the people who came back to see their expressions. Although Li Yan did not like to be so arrogant, what would he do if the situation was forced?
"See, this is the emperor of our Tang Dynasty! If you want me, Your Majesty is not inferior to Emperor Xuanzong when he was young. Now the Uighurs and Tubo should be honest. We will restore the situation in the Kaiyuan period, just around the corner!"
A scholar saw Li Qing, who was full of confidence in the crowd, and he felt a little moved at that time.
"Tsk... You guys are the nobles in Chang'an City at first sight. If you go to a remote prefecture and county and see how the people who have experienced wars live, you won't say that. Your Majesty is indeed a wise ruler. Without Your Majesty, I really don't know what the situation has become. But now compared with the Kaiyuan period, it's still a little bit worse. Your Majesty has just quelled external troubles, and this internal trouble is not without it!"
Another scholar who was dressed more simply stood behind the previous scholar. At the beginning, it seemed to be refuting his words, but at the end, it became like he was talking to himself. People's attention was on Li, and few people noticed him.
Only the scholar who spoke at the beginning, lowered his head and thoughtful.
Although this person stood alone behind the team, his identity was still number one in Chang'an City. He was named Du Huangshang, the son of Du Wan, the Jingzhao Silu, who joined the army. He was also considered a number one under Liu Yan. As a top talent selected by the Imperial College, he was about to participate in the provincial examination. In his heart, Du Huangshang, who was only 25 years old, he should have the ability to compete for the top scorer this year.
But the young man standing in front of him just now seemed to be here to take the provincial examination. His simple words made Du Huangshang realize the gap in his knowledge.
After Li Yan passed by, the crowd gradually dissipated, but Du Huangshang secretly followed the young man before. Of course, he had no malice, but just wanted to see which inn he lived in...
That night, Du Huangshang returned to the mansion. After dinner, he knelt down to his father and said, "Father, if the child is lucky enough to have high school this time, please ask the father to agree to the child with a condition."
Du Wan, the army of Jingzhao Silu, was not actually a top official in Chang'an City. He knew that his son was far superior to his talents. In addition, the current emperor Li Qing thought that they were a wise ruler. He could be said to have already suppressed his own glory on his son, so he nodded gently to Du Huangshang's words and signaled him to continue.
"Father, I have been studying in the Imperial College for many years. I have learned a lot about these things in Chang'an City and the court. But today I discovered that outside of Chang'an City, I was like a frog in a well. How can I help Your Majesty enter the officialdom like this? How can I make the Tang Dynasty last forever? So I asked my father to allow me to invite the officials selected by the Ministry of Personnel to train in the border counties for several years after high school!"
"Ah? This... I have told you a long time ago that staying in Beijing after high school is the best choice. In the past, I have a good idea of the Jinshi. Can I tell you about their experiences one by one?"
Obviously, Du Wan was still very puzzled by his son's sudden idea, and immediately persuaded him with great thought.
"What a child learns in the Imperial College is not to climb to the top of his officialdom, but to make a contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and hope his father will succeed!"
At this time, Du Huangshang seemed to be a candidate who was about to take the college entrance examination in the future. What did he say? Dare his parents dare not agree? So Du Wan nodded at that time, saying that he was the only one who was the decision of this matter, and that he would say hello to the Ministry of Personnel. Finally, his son was stabilized.
