Yuchi Gong walked away in dejection, being so frightened.
Do you still want to entrust him with a heavy responsibility? Now these messy things have already made his head as big as a bucket. If he is handed another heavy responsibility, Yuchi Jingde is afraid that he will be doomed.
Li Po teased him a little, but he didn't take responsibility for it.
When the generals return to the court to report on their duties, they must all feel that they are stuck in a quagmire and have nowhere to focus. This is very normal. Just wait for a year or two to get through the refractory period.
Some who can fight must maintain their vigor. People like Yu Chigong, Bu Qun and others are capable of leading troops, but their strategic and tactical talents are obviously different from others.
There was no way, the old men when he raised the army in Yunnei were all very virtuous, they dared to fight and kill, but when they reached a certain height, they touched the ceiling.
Now he doesn't need these old troops to charge into battle anymore. What he needs is the kind of strategic master who can confidently hand over military power to the opponent.
Therefore, he has been arranging a way out for his old troops, raising their high-ranking officials, and using those who can fight to often go out to lead troops in battles.
Li Po felt that the emperor should be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous person in his life...
If everyone knows how to advance and retreat, they should be able to understand his painstaking efforts. Guys who are too greedy will not end well.
………………
The sixth day of the sixth lunar month is the day of the palace examination.
Li Po got up early and went to Wude Hall for morning exercises.
Since Duguhua "occupied" this place, the atmosphere in the palace has changed a bit. The concubines have started practicing martial arts one after another, and martial arts in the harem have become popular.
Li Po felt something was wrong, but he never cared about the affairs of the harem and didn't interfere much.
But if things continue like this, why the hell do we still need to stay in the imperial palace? The palace can already form a female army.
Li Po didn't know if this kind of atmosphere in the harem would spread to the outside world, and what his ministers would think of it. It seemed like... nothing like this had ever happened in the past dynasties.
The King of Chu had a slim waist, and many people in the palace starved to death. Then what would people say about him later? The Emperor of Tang was good at martial arts, but many people in the palace had broken bones. Damn it, the descendants are really cunning and mean.
………………
When they arrived at Wude Hall, Dugu Xiuyi was really there. She probably made this place his home. When Li Po came to Wude Hall, he was always the first to see her.
After a while of sparring, Li Po left in a happy mood, leaving Duguhua with pain all over his body, but his body and mind seemed to be floating in the clouds.
The debauched and immoral emperor's life is so speechless.
The palace examination was scheduled in the morning, and everyone was in good spirits. If the emperor was in a good mood, he might even have a banquet with the Jinshi in the palace.
In fact, the palace examination policy question has been around for a long time.
During the Tianjia reign of Emperor Wen of the Southern Chen Dynasty, an examination similar to the imperial examination was held. Emperor Wen Chen called the best candidates to go to the palace to question them, which actually had the shadow of a palace examination.
The result was not very good. The young people did not know the importance of heaven and earth. With their high-minded talk, they annoyed the powerful officials and made some slanderous remarks. Emperor Wen's ears were so soft that he immediately beheaded several talented young people.
This is simply a joke. Who would dare to take the imperial examination in Nanchen in the future? Nanchen then stopped the scientific examination, and the imperial examination was regarded as a fatal journey by scholars in the south.
In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen re-introduced the imperial examination, which has been in a sluggish state. Because Yang Jian was afraid that after seeing those who passed the examination, those people would be squeezed into the gutter by the nobles and never seen again, so the imperial examination was never held.
.
However, Yang Guang was not afraid of this. He called the selected scholars together and talked about everything. In fact, he was talking and everyone else was listening. It was not considered a consultation with the court.
It's just that Yang Guang wanted to show off his talents in front of everyone.
Look at these kings, they are full of the late Jin Dynasty, moody, and under great resistance, how can they still carry out science and technology well?
………………
The palace examination held this time was also a temporary move and was held in the main hall of Tai Chi Hall.
The Jinshi were already waiting outside the palace gate early in the morning. Fortunately it was summer, otherwise some of them would have been seriously cold and sick.
It was not until the time came that officials from the Ministry of Rites led them into the palace.
The Jinshi were all trembling with fear, and the two brothers Li Yichen were among them. They were also in the same situation, and they did not dare to look around at all.
On the square in front of Taiji Hall, houses were being built, which looked a bit messy and slightly less majestic. The Jinshi saw it, but had no time to look around.
Before arriving at Tai Chi Hall, the team stopped.
Li Yichen was in a daze and almost bumped into the person in front of him. He raised his head slightly and saw the Tai Chi Hall that seemed to be in the clouds. His legs immediately became a little weaker.
All the psychological preparation and the scholar's reserve that I had done before were gone.
At the center of an empire, huge authority was clearly displayed there, and none of these young people could remain calm.
In other words, Sun Fuga, who was standing at the forefront, could still deal with it calmly.
As Dr. Zuo Jianyi under Zhongshu, he is responsible for supervising the appearance, behavior, and speech of all officials at the Great Court. This place is very familiar to him.
It's just that as a new Jinshi... well, it's very fresh. He was thinking about how he should answer to satisfy the emperor if the emperor asked him for a while.
The imperial court did not have clear regulations on the participation of officials in the imperial examination. He took advantage of this loophole and participated in it as an official of Zhongshu.
This kind of behavior is indeed difficult to explain. Not to mention colleagues talking about it, the emperor is probably also concerned about it.
Therefore, the problems he faces are completely different from those of new scholars.
"Xuan Xinke Jinshi enters the palace..." the eunuch called loudly with a sharp voice.
The team started to move again, and the Jinshi climbed up the steps, all careful about their steps. They had been warned before not to slip and fall here, otherwise their lives would be in danger.
When they entered the hall, most of the Jinshi were already flushed and sweating. In addition to being nervous, they were tired from going up the steps just now.
Jinshis from the north are better, but Jinshis from the south are indeed weaker. Due to lack of exercise, their body bones will become weak before they start training.
………………
Li Po was on top, looking at the young people one by one. When his eyes fell on Sun Fujia, he paused and thought to himself that this guy really stood out from the crowd. He was not ugly at all. He seemed to have a good psychological quality.
The Jinshi were receiving the ceremony, and it was obvious that they were all extremely nervous.
Li Po didn't say much, waved his hand and said: "The topic has been announced to the public before. I think you are already prepared, so let's get started."
Fifty or sixty people, greeted by officials from the Ministry of Rites, took their seats one after another.
The hall suddenly became quiet. Li Po sat in the hall and watched boredly. He really hoped that someone here could write a good article.
But he also knew that that was unlikely. It was estimated that Sun Fujia still had some insights. Young man... It was the first time that the imperial court held an imperial examination, and there was not even a single example.
Young people know little about this and cannot understand the various operations of the imperial court on this matter. What insights can they have?
That means you can talk about your personal experiences, right?
