Bi Shi'an once again stepped into this land of Gyeonggi Province, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar place, with great pride in his heart: "I'm back!"
At that time, he was persecuted by Wang Yansheng, but he got a blessing in disguise and studied under Dou Yujun.
After Luo Youdu overthrew the Northern Han Dynasty, Bi Shi'an also ended his studies and returned to his hometown Yunzhong to serve his adoptive mother as a filial piety.
Bi Shi'an originally planned to keep a low profile in the clouds and accumulate what he had learned in Gyeonggi, and when the time was right, he would go to Beijing to take the exam.
Don't think about things in the world that can't be predicted.
Due to the internal division of Khitan, Yunjiuzhou deepened its relationship with the Central Plains.
Bi Shi'an's literary talents were outstanding and he achieved great fame in the capital. However, he was a nobody in Datong. However, with the deepening of exchanges between the two parties, many scholars from Yunjiuzhou came to Beijing to study and take exams, and they all heard about Bian in the past.
There is a talented and talented man in Beijing named Bi Shi'an, who is from Datong Yunzhong.
The news spread to the clouds, and Bi Shi'an became famous.
This time the imperial court specially opened Enke, and Yunjiuzhou was also eligible.
It's just that the literary atmosphere in Yunjiuzhou is not strong, and the talents are limited. They have just passed the imperial examination and have already lost their money, so they can't produce decent talents.
Yelu Dilie has become more and more assimilated over the years, and he is very concerned about his own image. He always feels that Enke, who is so powerful this time, does not arrange for some talents to come to Beijing to take the exam and join in the fun, which is a shame.
So, he personally found Bi Shi'an, paid for his trip to Beijing, and asked him to lead the team to participate in this encore.
Bi Shi'an was already thinking about when would be the right time to go to Beijing to take the exam, so he followed the trend and led the team south.
When I entered Beijing again, the flow of people in Bianjing was far higher than in previous years.
There are many more blond and blue-eyed people walking north and south on the street...
When he left Bianjing, the Central Plains imperial court did not open up the western trade routes, nor did it have the current weather and power, which made him quite sad.
"Brother Rensou!"
Bi Shi'an heard someone calling him, and when he took a closer look, it was his classmates in the kindergarten and his friends in Songzhou, Yang Pu, Han Pi, Liu Xi and others.
The most conspicuous among them is Zhang Qixian, who has a big waist and broad shoulders and has the friendship of classmates, like the reincarnation of a hungry ghost...
Bi Shi'an smiled and came up to greet them one by one.
When he came to Zhang Qixian, he touched his big belly strangely and said: "Brother Shi Liang, it is said that the prime minister's belly can hold a boat. In my opinion, your belly is filled with big rivers..."
Zhang Qixian slapped his hand away angrily and said: "This is called knowing the world, what do you know?"
Several people joked with each other and entered the city together.
Zhang Qixian said: "Brother Rensou went to pay a visit to his mentor first, and I went to Zhuangyuanlou to take care of my brother."
As the world became more stable, ethics and ethics were gradually restored.
Integrate respect for teachers into daily life.
When Bi Shi'an returned to Bianjing, he naturally wanted to greet Dou Yujun first.
Zhuangyuan Building is located near Longjin Bridge. It is a newly opened restaurant in Bianjing in recent years.
Bi Shi'an looked at the familiar sign in front of him and couldn't help but said: "Isn't this Juyuan Tower?"
Zhang Qixian said: "It's the Juyuan Building. Brother Juchuan lived here and studied before high school. After high school, the owner immediately used this as a gimmick and changed it into the Zhuangyuan Building. Since then, the business has been booming and it has become a place where candidates from all over the world gather. Today in
Inviting Brother Rensou to this banquet is also in line with this trend and to take advantage of Brother Juchuan."
The Juchuan brother mentioned by Zhang Qixian was called Suo Xiang, and he was the first scholar in the Luo Yu imperial court.
Luo Youdu was well aware that the Song Dynasty had redundant officials and bad governance. After he ascended the throne, he strictly restricted the mutual recommendation of officials. The main way to attract talents was the imperial examination, and he attached great importance to the imperial examination.
He knew the imperial examination process and made great reforms in the imperial examination in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Abandoning the Tang Dynasty's custom of submitting papers for the No. 1 Scholar to be appointed by default, in addition to following the lake-name system of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the Song Dynasty's transcription system was also added. All papers were copied by special personnel and then reviewed by the examiners, thus officially putting the imperial examination on the right track.
Because of this, the gold content of the number one scholar has skyrocketed.
As the restaurant where Suo Xiang, the first number one scholar in the new dynasty, lived and studied, it was naturally tainted with some nobility.
Bi Shi'an smiled and said: "That's it..."
Stepping into the Zhuangyuan Building, the store was full of chatting and laughing scholars. They came from all over the world to gather together, chatting about life, discussing family and country affairs, or talking about classics.
The huge hotel looks like a gathering of literati.
Luo Youdu was very open in this regard and did not object to people discussing current affairs.
Not to mention these scholars, even if the local gangsters complain about the strict control of Kaifeng government, they will not be held accountable.
Bi Shi'an was surprised when he looked at this rich learning atmosphere. He had only been away for two or three years, and the huge changes in Bianjing made him curious and full of expectations for his future.
As a minister in this vibrant court, there is no need to worry about not being able to display your ambitions.
The group of people sat down, and Bi Shi'an heard a man nearby talking about their hometown. He couldn't help but look back and listen carefully.
A student with a southern accent said: "Your Majesty has far-sightedness, used a gentle approach to win over Yelu Dilie, and asked the scholars of Yunjiuzhou to participate in our imperial examinations to gain the hearts of the scholars. It won't be long before Yunjiuzhou will surrender.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that the traitor Shi Jingtang betrayed to the Khitan will be taken back by Your Majesty."
A trace of joy appeared on Bi Shi'an's eyebrows. Although the other party took things for granted, he was still full of joy when he heard that his hometown was returning to the embrace of the motherland.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Liu Xi asked: "Brother Rensou came from Yunzhong, can you tell me about the situation in Yunzhong?" He paused and said: "The imperial examination is very different from the past. Knowledge and practice are equal. Whether it is the palace examination or the general examination,
They are all about current affairs examination questions. Many people speculate that the situation in Yunjiuzhou will be one of the questions in the imperial examination and the palace examination. This topic has been long-lasting in Bianjing."
Bi Shi'an said with a smile: "As that dear friend said, Yelu's enemy has great ambition and talent, and he is more than capable of one general, but not enough of ten thousand men. Let him fight, he may be a brave general, but he is at a loss to govern Yunjiuzhou. Your Majesty, from this
The attack hit Yelu Dilie's weakness. However, Yelu Dilie had a fierce temperament and was not good at administration, but he could not handle it easily. He knew that Yun Jiuzhou was inseparable from the Central Plains and paid more attention to military power.
It will be counterproductive. It is not easy to achieve a peaceful transition. If you really want to have political examination questions at this time, don't be too optimistic."
Liu Xi's face turned slightly red.
In this atmosphere, a few people spoke freely like the general public.
Shi'er discussed literature, Shi'er commented on the general trend of the world, and almost everyone was full of longing for the future of the imperial court.
At a table not far away from a few people, there were some foreigners sitting.
Li Congde said with emotion in Tocharian language: "The weather in the Central Plains is like this. No wonder my father is so humble."
Next to him was a Persian dressed as a Manichee. At this moment, he was also shocked. The centripetal force of the Central Plains was not even matched by the Persian Empire at that time. He said: "If you can preach in such a heaven,
