Chapter 76 Good Brother
Wang Xiu didn't say anything after hearing Liu Yizhen's plan. He just lamented that Liu Yizhen no longer regarded himself as a human being.
"Those who are capable work hard. Governor Wang is the only one who has ever stayed at Jiankang's place. He should be familiar with Jiankang's assessment. Let's just answer the questions there."
As the only senior official among the senior officials in Guanzhong who has taken the "real test questions of the national examination", Wang Xiu can only really rely on him to tutor his juniors.
"Er Guo! Er Guo! Er Guo, I know you are here! Open the door!"
Just when the decision was being made, there was a loud knock on the door of Wang Xiu's house.
"Erguo! I asked you about the woman you were hiding in your house! She said you were at Wang Xiu's place! Open the door quickly!"
Liu Yizhen's expression suddenly changed.
Leaning slightly, Liu Yizhen said with a smile, "Wait a moment, you two."
After saying that, he ran out.
After a while, Liu Yizhen came in with a stick in his left hand and a somewhat embarrassed Liu Yilong in his right hand.
Wang Xiu looked at the stick in Liu Yizhen's hand and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
When Liu Yilong came in, he saw chicken soup on the table for three people.
He immediately sat next to Wang Xiu and took a bowl for himself from Liu Yizhen's bowl.
"Yeah! Delicious!"
The bowl was bottomed out quickly, so Liu Yilong simply took out the chicken from the soup and ate it.
Wang Xiu looked at Liu Yilong who was enjoying the meal, and just wondered if his chicken had offended their surnamed Liu in his previous life...
"What are you doing here? Have you finished copying the book?"
Liu Yilong felt a little guilty: "No."
Liu Yilong copied for a long time, and became more and more impatient as he copied. Finally, he simply threw away the pen and paper and ran to Liu Yizhen's house.
He was originally greedy and wanted Li Ming to make hot pot for him. When he learned that Li Ming was brought to Wang Xiu's house by Liu Yizhen, he immediately realized that there must be delicious food here, so he ran over.
"You, you."
Liu Yilong is good at everything, but he has no perseverance.
In terms of intelligence and political skills, Liu Yilong was ranked high during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and even for the past two hundred years. It is a pity that he did not have the perseverance and great achievements to end up in the Yuanjia hasty situation, otherwise his evaluation would definitely be higher.
Floors.
"When you do something, you have to finish it from beginning to end."
However, Liu Yizhen didn't mean to blame Liu Yilong. They were all the second generation born in a greenhouse. It's normal not to have the indomitable spirit of the first generation. They just need to cultivate it slowly.
"I know, I know, second brother, why do you keep nagging like the gentleman who taught us how to read before?"
Liu Yilong muttered a few words and then asked: "Second brother, I heard from outside that you made some kind of Chang'an porcelain that is the same as white jade. Can you let me see it?"
"I'll show you later."
Liu Yizhen looked at Liu Yilong's careless look and suddenly asked: "I have a job here, which is definitely more interesting than copying books. Do you want to try it?"
Liu Yilong suddenly felt that the chicken in his mouth was no longer fragrant.
He said gloomily: "Second brother! I'm just here to deliver a letter to you! If it's not enough for you to let me copy the book, why do you still need me?"
"I remember someone took the initiative to rewrite it, right?"
Liu Yilong rolled his eyes and bit off a piece of chicken to vent his anger.
"Oh, what a pity."
Liu Yizhen sighed, which made Liu Yilong's ears perk up unconsciously.
"Originally, I wanted you to experience what it's like to be a teacher, but it seems you're not suitable. Let's forget it."
Serving as a role model?
Liu Yilong flashed to Liu Yizhen's side in an instant, and handed the chicken leg he took a bite out to Liu Yizhen's mouth as if to please.
"Second brother, are you hungry? Come and have some chicken. I have no other intention. I just want to ask what it means to be a teacher."
The corners of Liu Yizhen's mouth curled up.
Taken the bait.
He planned to ask Liu Yilong to invigilate the exam.
It is estimated that there are only a few dudes from that group of aristocratic families in Guanzhong who can control them, but Liu Yilong is definitely one of them.
With Liu Yilong here, Liu Yizhen is not afraid of anyone daring to cheat.
There is also a deeper reason that Liu Yizhen wants to win over Liu Yilong, or Liu Yilong's power.
Once Liu Yilong makes his official appearance as an examiner of the "Guanzhong Regional Civil Servant Examination", Liu Yilong and these recommended children of the Guanzhong aristocratic families will basically be tied together.
After all, this kind of relationship was called "sitting as a teacher" in the Ming Dynasty.
As long as Liu Yilong has a relationship with them, there will be power behind Liu Yilong in the future. Do you think they will stick together in the court to keep warm?
In a sense, this is called political "financing."
Although he was a bit suspected of cheating his younger brother, Liu Yizhen could only say that he would make up for it later.
I am still in the early stages of my career, and I am no longer in Jiankang, so I have no choice but to use whatever means necessary.
After Liu Yizhen and Liu Yilong finished explaining the tasks of "sitting in as a teacher", Liu Yilong really became excited.
Liu Yilong's sense of accomplishment instantly swelled when he thought that he could supervise the most elite young generation of the Guanzhong family.
"Second brother! I'm going!"
Liu Yizhen looked at Liu Yilong with caring eyes and touched his head: "Sit there and don't move. I will kill two chickens for you to replenish your health."
"Cough cough cough!"
Wang Xiu coughed crazily from behind.
"No, hot pot is still delicious. Second brother, just treat me to a few more hot pot meals."
Liu Yilong is not greedy either, and his little mouth is very sweet.
Seeing that Liu Yilong was so sensible, Liu Yizhen was also very satisfied.
This scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other is so heartwarming.
It's better for my brother to be a little more stupid.
It would be better if I could continue to be stupid.
After that, Du Ji brought the news to the Guanzhong family, who quickly drew up a list and gave it to Liu Yizhen. At the same time, Wang Xiu's test questions had also been published.
In this way, the first exam that will affect China for thousands of years in the future began in an unknown courtyard in Chang'an.
The test questions are very simple and direct, consisting of two policy questions.
It's hard to answer this kind of policy question. But it's really not that difficult to answer. You can figure it out by reading a little bit of books and paying attention to current affairs.
During this period, there were still people making small moves, but the person who invigilated the exam was Liu Yilong.
He doesn't care what aristocratic family you are, as long as he cheats you will be caught.
It is said that before the exam started, someone used Liu Yilong's favorite young woman to bribe Liu Yilong, but Liu Yilong did not compromise.
With this spirit, after Liu Yilong successfully completed the task, Liu Yizhen gave Liu Yilong several beautiful dancers that Pei gave to him before, which made Liu Yilong's face pale for two or three days.
After passing some people through the exam, the Guanzhong families added another group. After that, they continued to assess, and then they passed people and were assessed again. After several revisions, the list was finally formed and sent to Jiankang.
This group of people will become officials of all sizes in the imperial court in the future. Their families have paved the way for them to enter the official career. It is up to them how they go in the future.
At the same time, Chang'an porcelain was also transported to Jiankang, and it was the first shot among the dignitaries in the south.
