Chapter 1277: A new generation replaces the old

To this day, the big exam can be considered to be over, with only the interview from the Ministry of Personnel, but that is only a form. Originally, when Han Yi was reorganized, the proportion of interviews was increased, but now that Li Zhi has to take into account Li Yifu and others, so it is impossible to give questions to the candidates again. If none of them answered, it would be embarrassing. This is even more so. The Ministry of Personnel does not understand the subject and cannot take the exam even if they want to. This is still the focus of the Sixth Academy of Sages.

However, for a long time, the Jinshi was promoted to Longmen. Although the Mingjing and Jinshi were combined into one, the quality may be slightly worse than the previous Jinshi subjects, but before the big exam, the Jinshi subject was still the most eye-catching. However, after the exam, no one mentioned the Jinshi subject again, and everyone discussed the system subject.

It is a trigonometric function.

It's statistics.

It is mathematical thought.

Moreover, the struggle between the scholars and the common people also revolves around the system of the subject, because both sides have highlights in the system of the subject, but the poor families obviously have to benefit more. It is not that their grades are better than those of the gentry, but because the old families monopolized their careers in the past, they looked down on poor families. As the saying goes, there are no poor soldiers at the top and no nobles at the lowest. This has a clear rating, but now in this test, everyone is equal in line. The poor families are enough to prove that our poor families are not inferior to the gentry.

Therefore, although the system of the department has stolen all the limelight, this time the big test has had a great impact on the traditional concept of the gentry and common people, and the poor have become more confident, because this time the gentry can be said to have put all their strength, but the two sides tend to be evenly matched. This is actually a series of effects brought by the abolition of Wang Liwu, because the abolition of Wang Liwu is a decisive battle for the poor to defeat the aristocratic family.

However, Han Yi had long been indifferent to the struggle between scholars and commoners. He was just using the struggle between scholars and commoners to trigger the dispute between literary and intellectuals. Everything he did on the surface seemed to be to balance scholars and commoners. In fact, he wanted to balance literary and intellectuals. Otherwise, he should have to control science and attack the gentry, but he did not do so.

This is simply a ruthless overtaking.

This situation can only happen in the Tang Dynasty. If it were the Ming and Qing Dynasties, even if Han Yi was thief, it would be impossible to complete, because the imperial examination was already established at that time. In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination had just begun and was not valued. There were too many ways to enter the officialdom. However, everyone knows that the imperial examination is the trend of future development, but everyone is still exploring how to make the imperial examination take shape.

Therefore, the Six Scholars led by Han Yi were able to successfully surpass the liberal arts in science in this imperial examination.

Of course, the biggest contributors are Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong. If these two people were not against their respective Xiaojiujiu, Han Yi would not have had a chance.

If so, Han Yi hopes to repay them, but this is impossible. On the day after the list was put, Han Yi directly customized a banquet from the first floor and Deyue Tower to invite all the people in the Sixth House of Sages to dinner. Not only did they have the most delicious dishes in Chang'an, but they also had gifts, but they were not the products of Fengfei Tower. They just gave them mutton, just for the whole thing, because the people who helped this time were all the officials at the bottom, and they wouldn't be able to use it if you gave them perfume.

On the other side of the three sectors, let alone the banquet, they were all covered in dust and embarrassed to say that their test judges would be scolded to death.

Even if this is not the case, the two iron roosters in Xu Jingzong and Li Yi's house cannot spend so much money to treat them like Han Yi.

The banquet was still in progress, and Han Yi, Li Chunfeng and Yan Liben returned to the house to rest. If they were not there, the people below would be able to drink even more happily. When they came to the house, Li Chunfeng seemed to be still in a dream and said to Han Yi: "Mr. Han, I really admire you." Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Before this, I once thought that the Sixth School of the Sage of the Sage had a long way to go. You must know that Confucianism and Taoism have developed for hundreds of years before they can achieve great success today. But now, the Sixth School of the Sage of the Sage has won the favor of candidates, and this is all your contribution!"

This really makes people feel like they are in a dream. When Han Yi first proposed the Sixth Study of the Sage, everyone thought it was just a joke, just how long it took to make a joke.

Yan Liben also felt incredible.

"I don't have any credit for it. This is all credit for Xu Jingzong and Li Yi Mansion!"

Han Yi smiled and shook his head, and said, "But this is just the beginning. We do have a way to go. The reason why our Sixth Academy of Sages can win a great victory this time is because of fairness, but fairness can bring very few things. The success of a new school is still what it can bring to the country and the people. If it is just fair, then this big test will be just a flash in the pan."

Yan Liben nodded and said, "The key is whether Your Majesty will agree, and the Sixth Academy of the Sage, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works will cooperate."

"This problem shouldn't be big!"

Han Yi shook his head and said, "The real problem is that our Sixth Academy of Sages can cultivate talents that the country really needs. Therefore, starting next year, our Sixth Academy of Sages can no longer be so idle. We adopt a mature system to cultivate talents for the court. We start from the grassroots level, use the practicality of mathematics, engineering, agriculture, etc., first provide the court with elite talents at the grassroots level, and then use mathematical ideas to give them a broader space for development. I firmly believe that in the future, there will be several ministers in the court who will join the ranks of prime ministers with mathematical ideas."

Han Yi finally revealed his ambitions, and this can't be concealed. This combination of punches came out. Anyone with a brain can't see Han Yi's intentions. And if Han Yi chooses to continue hiding, then first of all, he can't praise the Sixth Academy of Sages. If you don't praise him, others will not come.

If it were half a month ago, Li Chunfeng and Yan Liben would have heard it, but now they are firmly convinced and are full of desire for the prospects of the Sixth Academy of Sages.

Last year, the Sixth Academy of Sages may be the most leisurely department in the court. Even Han Yi rarely comes to him, and no one pays attention to what the Sixth Academy of Sages is doing. In fact, there is nothing to do, because there is no one in the Sixth Academy of Sages at all. The ninth-rank academicians are all farmers and craftsmen. The upper limit of such people is that they are so high, and they rely on the talent of Yun Xiu, the lazy person. However, it won’t take long. The Sixth Academy of Sages will be full of talents and full of vitality. This time of showing off one's skills is here, so how can it not be exciting?

Just then, a young man walked in quickly and shouted to Yan Liben: "Father!"

"Wen'er, why are you here?" Yan Liben said in surprise.

This person is Yan Liben's son, Yan Xuewen.

Yan Xuewen said a few words in Yan Liben's ear.

"What?"

Yan Liben suddenly stood up.

Li Chunfeng hurriedly said, "Brother Yan, what's the matter?"

Yan Liben was stunned for a moment and said, "Duke E had passed away ten days ago."

"ah?"

Li Chunfeng and Han Yi were both shocked.

This Yuchi Jingde is not an ordinary person. He passed away ten days ago, so why didn't they even hear any news?

But Yan Xuewen didn't know the specific reason, so the three of them immediately stood up and rushed to the mansion of Duke E.

By the time they arrived, there were already crowds of people inside, all of whom were officials of the fifth rank or above, and old ministers such as Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin had already arrived.

After asking, I realized that the day when Yuchi Jingde died was just the day of the big test. Therefore, before his death, Yuchi Jingde told his family not to make any statements, so as not to interfere with the big test. If he had the chance, he would secretly transport the coffin out of the city for burial. If he had no chance, he would wait for the big test to be over before being buried.

The ancients were very filial and could only do it, but the problem was that Li Zhichacha sent out all the royal police again, and the whole city was martial law. The coffin could not be secretly transported out, so he could only stay at home and wait for the end of the exam.

As soon as the big test was over, the Yuchi family began to be busy with the burial matter, and the news spread immediately.

Li Zhi also knew it at the first time. Could he not be moved? He immediately ordered that from now on, the deposed court for three days, all officials of the fifth rank or above would go to the condolences. At the same time, he was named Yuchi Jingde as Situ, the governor of Bingzhou, and was given the posthumous name Zhongwu, and was given the secret weapon of Dongyuan. He gave Ban Jian, Yu Bao, Gong Gong, etc. to bury Zhaoling.

However, at the same time, Yuchi Jingde's last letter was made public, which was to ask Li Zhi to relieve Yuchi Xiuji of his mourning. After he was buried, he asked Yuchi Xiuji to continue working at the Minjian Bureau.

This is not a problem. There is an emperor's order here, and this letter was written by Yuchi Jingde himself. Who would dare to say more?

There were only two people sitting in the inner hall, namely Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin. They were of the same generation as Yuchi Jingde, and they also supported each other all the way. Of course, they didn't need to stand in front.

"This old man really knows how to choose a day!"

Cheng Yaojin poured a big glass of wine, but felt his throat still had a little blocked.

This scientific examination is to select talents for the court, and Yuchi Jingde's departure means that a new generation of people will replace old people.

Strictly speaking, the Zhenguan era did not end with Li Zhi's ascension to the throne, because during the Yonghui period, the policies of the Zhenguan era continued. It was only after Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin left the court one after another, which indicated that it was coming to an end.

This is further highlighted by the departure of Yuchi Jingde. Their era is about to end and a new era has begun to show its glory.

"yes!"

Changsun Wuji sighed and said in a daze: "Everything that happened in Xuanwu Gate seemed like yesterday, but when I came to my senses, I was the only one who was left with you and me."

There was endless sadness in his tone, but it was not entirely because of Yuchi Jingde, but a golden age that can be regarded as one of the best in history is about to end.

Thinking about Li Shimin's next mess, the entire Central Plains dynasty was full of holes and was in trouble. They were step by step to regain the old mountains and rivers and made this Central Plains dynasty stronger. From the long river of history, it can even be said that they pushed the Central Plains dynasty to the peak, but they were about to leave.

What kind of sadness is this?

Only they can understand it.
