The people of the Tang Dynasty were extremely enthusiastic about participating in the imperial examination.
Anyone who has studied for a few years wants to go to Chang'an to try his luck.
Children ranging in age from sixty to seventy or even older, as well as children as young as eight, nine, or ten years old also came to the county to sign up.
I hope the government can issue a certificate and they can take the exam.
Seeing that some were so old and some were so young, the official was secretly speechless.
It’s said that all of them can participate in the imperial examination system. Isn’t this too much?
But with His Majesty's order, they could only make arrangements.
Time flies, years fly by.
In recent times, the most intense discussion inside and outside Chang'an City has been the imperial examination.
Regarding the discussions among the people, Li Er also continuously asked people to feedback the news, so as to grasp all the trends.
Zhaojiazhuang.
"Come on, dear brother, let's eat first, eat."
Even though I was eating fresh stir-fried dishes and drinking some wine, I couldn't hide the smile on Li Er's face.
In the recent period, things have been going smoothly. By the way, I still have money, and small amounts of money keep coming.
After having money, in addition to silk and cloth brought as tribute from other places.
He also personally arranged for people to purchase some new cloth in Chang'an City.
All these pieces of cloth were knitted into new clothes and given to the concubines, princesses and princes in the harem.
Once we, Mr. Li, have money, we will do things openly.
Not only that, when I came to Zhaojiazhuang this time, I bought many gifts for my dear brother.
In addition to giving gifts to his wise brother, the people around him also took care of things in turn.
In Chang'an City, they also ordered people to buy a large number of delicious pastries, all of which were shipped over and given to Miss Linglong.
Sometimes what she, the exquisite girl, says is enough to make the wise brother change his mind.
Thinking of this, the whole person couldn't help but secretly rejoice, he is really a smart person!
"I said, Lao Li, look at your rosy complexion recently, is this because you have been promoted and made a fortune again?"
Li Er chuckled, nodded, and then told the story about the imperial examination.
After all, the whole world knew about the imperial examination. Even though Zhaojiazhuang was in a remote place, it was not particularly remote.
They must have already received the news. Instead of waiting for them to take the initiative to ask, it would be better to explain it directly yourself.
Taking advantage of the situation, I flattered him a few more times.
After I contributed to the imperial examination and military examination, I was appreciated by His Majesty.
Now that I am in Chang'an City, I can be considered a popular person in His Majesty's eyes, and His Majesty has also rewarded me with many things.
Among these things, except for some of them, I stayed in the Li Mansion, and the rest were all arranged to Zhaojiazhuang this time.
"Shopkeeper Li, when my young master heard about the imperial examination and martial arts examination, he knew it immediately. You must have reported the news."
She took other people's things and ate them herself. Eaters are short-tongued, so Linglong didn't angrily criticize Li Er.
Otherwise, you will be miserable.
"Hey Hey Hey."
Li Er chuckled and thought about talking about this matter!
"Let me tell you, Lao Li, I would like to advise you that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. You must know your identity and status. You must not play with fire and burn yourself. But be careful!"
As someone who has experienced this, Zhao Mu knows that if the imperial examination is implemented, there will definitely be great resistance.
Especially now that it is the early years of the Tang Dynasty, clan clans are deeply entrenched.
The selection of talents through the imperial examination will definitely touch the interests of their clan members.
By that time, the court had also reached an agreement due to conflicting interests with the clan members, and the person who proposed the imperial examination system would be pushed out and severely punished.
Just like Shang Yang's reforms in the Qin Dynasty, his reforms touched the interests of many powerful people.
Even though his reform was supported by the leader of the Qin Dynasty, he implemented it with strong methods.
But in the end, not just to appease the anger of those powerful people, but ended up being torn into pieces.
Shang Yang was executed, and he asked the powerful men of Qin to relieve their hatred.
However, all the policies he set were implemented.
When you can be used, you are a little cutie. When you are not needed, or when interests need to be weighed, being a cutie means you are in serious trouble.
Hearing what Zhao Mu said, Li Er smiled awkwardly.
"Don't worry, dear brother, the current Holy Emperor will never be this kind of person."
Ah.
Zhao Mu rolled his eyes at him. In fact, everyone among them thought so, but they ended up miserable in the end.
In Zhaojiazhuang, after dinner and a night's rest, Li Er left here early the next morning, returned to the palace, and began to get busy again.
In the blink of an eye, a long time has passed this year, and the sound of ice cubes crackling in the river can be heard.
Dispersed in the upstream, floating in the water, and flowing downstream, the spring that all the people have longed for has finally arrived.
Everything is recovering, although from time to time it is accompanied by a bit of cool breeze. The cool breeze blows and makes people unable to help but sneeze.
Spring covers everything and autumn freezes. The spring season is so unpredictable.
Everyone was still covered in the same thick clothes as before and did not take them off.
"Xiaoyue, the weather is nice today, shall we go flying a kite?
Master, do you want to go with us?"
"Walk."
"Okay, young master, let's get ready now."
On the other hand, Turks.
The Turks move with the seasons, although they do not have the solar terms of the Tang Dynasty.
But they also have their own way of dealing with climate.
Now according to the solar terms of the grassland, spring has arrived.
Why hasn't the Tang Dynasty delivered food and money?
Everyone in the Turkic royal court gathered together, and everyone looked very ugly.
Could it be possible that the Tang Dynasty really played a trick on them?
He then sent the three people from that day into a team as envoys, and rushed south to Chang'an City, ready to ask what the Tang Dynasty meant?
This team left the Turkic Royal Court, went all the way south, and entered the border of the Tang Dynasty.
The border officers of the Tang Dynasty rushed 800 miles to Chang'an City in a hurry.
After hearing the news from the border officers, Li Er looked at the time. Now that the time was ripe, it was time to launch an attack on the Turks.
A few days later, in the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City, in the court hall.
The Turkic envoys arrived at Chang'an City, came to the palace, met with His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, and began to inquire about the food and money of the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing these three familiar princes, Li Er smiled.
"It's you guys again. I wonder what happened to the princes who traveled thousands of miles to come to my city of Chang'an?"
Prince Chumukunnu's bad temper emerged directly, and he spoke full of displeasure.
"Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, aren't you asking questions knowingly?
When we came here, you promised to transport grain to Tibet this spring.
Now that we have reached this period of time, why haven’t we seen this food and money?
Are you, the Tang Dynasty, trying to play tricks on me, the Turks?
Or is it that you, the Tang Dynasty, think you can be my rivals with the Tubo people and don’t want to pay tribute?” This chapter has been completed!
