Lu Yao actually became more and more confused after watching what Pan Wen told him about the questions and types of imperial examinations in previous years.
In fact, this problem has troubled Lu Yao for a long time.
That is, at this time, according to common sense, it is already the end of Fan Zhongyan's reform. At this time, the imperial examinations and even some other policies should have made some changes more or less.
, but why is it that no one in the court, from Zhao Zhen to Han Yonghe, Cao Yi, and Lu Xu, mentioned the reform at all?
The imperial examination that Lu Yao is about to take now, that is, the provincial examination, is hosted by the Ministry of Rites of the Ministry of Finance. In the entire "imperial examination" process in the Song Dynasty, the provincial examination is actually the most critical link. Although after passing the provincial examination, there are still
The imperial examination in which the emperor personally participated is waiting for the candidates, but basically not many people pass the imperial examination, so people often say that passing the provincial examination means embarking on the official career path.
Speaking of which, in fact, although Lu Yao took the imperial examination according to the normal procedure, he still received some status bonuses.
Because according to the normal imperial examination process of the Song Dynasty, before Lu Yao was about to take the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites, in fact, according to the normal process, Lu Yao should also take another examination, that is, the Fajie examination.
The "Fajie Examination" in the Song Dynasty was held in Beijing by the Imperial College and Kaifeng Prefecture (Lin'an Prefecture in the Southern Song Dynasty), and locally by the prefectures and counties. After the exam, not all qualified candidates could be sent to the Ministry of Rites to participate in the next exam.
The examination has a quota limit, just like today's "indicators". The number of indicators is directly related to the vital interests of the candidates, and also affects the performance and reputation of local officials. Therefore, various places often apply to increase quotas.
Although Lu Yao is now in Bianliang City, he was supposed to take the Fajie Examination. Regarding this, Lu Yao had asked Su Shi and Su Che before. They both took it when they were in their hometown. They successfully passed the Fajie Examination.
Only candidates who have passed the exam can enter the provincial exam.
Regarding the special treatment he experienced, Lu Yao once asked his father.
From Lu Xu's words, Lu Yao learned that he had indeed gone through the back door at this stage, even though he had never known about it before.
Zhao Zhen still valued Lu Yao very much. He valued Lu Yao's brains and talents. Therefore, letting Lu Yao enter the provincial examination directly might have already happened when Zhao Zhen decided to let Lu Yao enter the court as an official.
Made this plan.
In any case, it is a good thing that I have to take the provincial examination directly now. However, this provincial examination is also a complicated and troublesome process.
The provincial examination is held in Gongyuan for three consecutive days. In order to prevent cheating, examiners are appointed temporarily and are served by multiple people. After being appointed, the examiners must go to Gongyuan immediately and are not allowed to communicate with the outside world. This is called locking the courtyard. Candidates arrive at Gongyuan.
After that, you have to take your seat according to your number, and you are not allowed to leave the venue like the examiner. The test papers must be anonymous, transcribed, and marked by multiple people. The palace examination is held in the palace, and the emperor personally presides over it and determines the ranking. Since the Song Dynasty, everyone in the palace examination
Those who are promoted to Jinshi will be awarded officials immediately and do not need to go through the selection examination of the Ministry of Personnel.
In other words, these examination regulations determine that Lu Yao will have to live in the palace for three days. Just thinking about Lu Yao makes me feel terrible. Then, he will have to live with a bunch of poor scholars. Lu Yao
Yao couldn't help but shudder.
In any case, Lu Yao's retreat time for the day was over. After reading the manuscript given to him by Pan Wen, Lu Yao thought deeply about it, got a rough understanding of the current situation, and then started to get busy again.
What he wrote next had nothing to do with the imperial examination.
What he has to do now is to write the manuscript about coaches that Pan Wen and Chen Chen will come to Lu Mansion to pick up tomorrow morning.
Lu Yao fell into deep thought. Even though he had just come up with the position of coach today, since it was a newly established position, he still had to think more comprehensively and think of everything he could think of. Otherwise, this would not be the case.
First time, there is a high probability that the leader will be the coach, but in the future, it will definitely not be able to continue like this. If this new Cuju competition really becomes a league, then every team will definitely have a full-time coach.
, so work must be done beforehand. Although Lu Yao estimated that only Chen Chen and Pan Wen could read the things he wrote seriously, but in order not to take the blame later, and in order not to make supplements in the future, he still had to work hard on it.
Let’s talk about the responsibilities of this coach.
And since it wanted to be comprehensive, plus an outline of tactics and how to guide the employment of people, the manuscript would naturally become very long, so Lu Yao didn't fall asleep until almost midnight that night.
What he didn't know was that Lu Xu had actually been paying attention to his son. This was Lu Yao's first day of retreat. Lu Xu also wanted to see how he was doing, but there was a misunderstanding. Lu Yao basically spent the night
He was studying things about coaches. Lu Xu thought that Lu Yao was studying hard in the room until midnight, and was very happy.
In fact, a football coach, in short, it is easy to explain clearly what he is responsible for on the field, such as guiding the team's tactics, starting personnel, selecting personnel, arranging daily training plans, personnel changes, and sometimes including understanding the players' hearts.
Situation, etc. Adjust the starting personnel and arrange the formation on the spot, but at critical moments there are still individual contingency operations such as substitutions.
"It seems that the leader who can maximize the position of coach should be the biggest variable in this competition," Lu Yao thought to himself. After all, the training intensity of these people these days is exactly the same.
, for a new sport, the gap in real strength can be completely smoothed through tactical and personnel adjustments. It depends on how they deal with the matter of coaches tomorrow.
With this thought, Lu Yao fell asleep. Because Lu Yao really read too many books from morning to night today, and even had stars in his eyes, so he fell asleep quickly.
However, Lu Yao didn't stop in his sleep. He seemed to see the back of a person, and that person was obviously reciting something.
Lu Yao stepped forward and saw that the person was himself. However, what surprised him was that Lu Yao, the endorser, gave him the feeling that he was no different from those poor and weak scholars. It was really disgusting.
After listening carefully, it turned out that what this "Lu Yao" was reciting was the "Greater Learning" that Lu Yao had read in the afternoon and was dizzy.
"The way of a great university is to be clear and virtuous, to be close to the people, and to be at the highest level of goodness. After knowing the cessation, there will be concentration. After concentration, one can be still. After being still, one can be at peace. After being at peace, one can think about it. After thinking about it, one can gain. Things have their origins and ends, and things have their origins.
The end and the beginning. If you know the sequence, you will get the shortcut."
Lu Yao woke up from his dream and had a deeper impression of "The University".
He looked at his phone and saw that the current time was around seven o'clock in the morning.
As usual, he got up, washed and had breakfast. Because he got up early today, Lu Yao thought of walking in the small yard of his home for a while. After all, his brain was still awake, and he wouldn't be able to read a book if he forced himself to do so.
Have good effect.
Lu Xu naturally understood the state Lu Yao was talking about. In fact, Lu Xu and Lu Hao often experienced this state when preparing for the exam. As candidates, taking this kind of exam, even a time traveler like Lu Yao
, will also feel nervous, and Lu Yao always feels that this provincial examination is actually somewhat similar to the college entrance examination. Lu Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this. He didn't expect that after living so long, he could experience that kind of experience for the second time.
The fear of being dominated by the college entrance examination.
After walking around for a while, there was a knock on the door of Lu Mansion outside. Lu Yao asked Uncle Fu to open the door. Uncle Fu, muttering about who it was so early, went to open the door too, because Lu Xu and Lu Hao had to prepare.
I went to attend morning court, so I didn’t pay too much attention to the condition of the gate.
Lu Yao, on his side, went back to the room, took out the manuscript about coaches that he had compiled last night, and then walked towards the door.
Lu Yao actually calculated the time. At this time, Lu Xu and Lu Hao were sorting clothes in their rooms and getting ready to go to court. Yesterday, during dinner, Lu Yao sent Chen Chen and Pan Wen to his house to look for him.
The time was at this time. Of course, when Uncle Fu went to open the door, Lu Yao had already given him ten thousand dollars in his hand. Lu Yao said that he hoped that Uncle Fu would not tell anyone about someone coming to him. If anyone else asked,
I woke up and said I knocked on the wrong door. Because it was still early, the servants were all busy with cleaning, and few people paid attention to the movement at the door.
Uncle Fu, who had received the money, naturally knew the reason for this, but Fu Bo had another idea in his mind, that is, Tangxi had done this kind of thing behind his back countless times, and it seemed that he was very
There is money.
Lu Yao walked quickly to the gate, making sure that he was not seen by other servants along the way.
At this time, standing outside the door were Pan Wen and Chen Chen who looked excited.
After some communication with Lu Yao yesterday, the two of them already understood the importance of the coaching position. Furthermore, in the end, the manuscript that Lu Yao produced could really be paid close attention to and put into action. In fact,
Just the two of them, to put it bluntly, they still won at the starting line.
To them, this manuscript is nothing more than a martial arts secret book.
Although both of them were very excited, they were still a little surprised when they saw what Lu Yao brought over.
This manuscript has a total of twenty pages, and this is only one copy. Many more copies will be printed soon. I am afraid that they alone will not be able to get it to the palace, and they will have to find someone.
Or put it in a carriage, then enter the palace, put it in Zhe Kexing's residence, and then distribute it.
"The more I write, the less interested the leaders may be. The previous manuscripts were less than ten pages. Do you think they read them carefully? If they really read the manuscripts I gave them before,
Based on basic knowledge and selection criteria, they probably won’t be able to select that kind of player lineup.”
What Lu Yao meant was that the more pages he had to write about as a coach, the more beneficial it would be for Chen Chen and Pan Wen. After all, no matter how many pages it had, Chen Chen and Pan Wen would know how to do it.
After careful study, they understood it. As for the other leaders, they were already very busy because of one thing after another, so they also criticized Lu Yao. They gradually felt that Lu Yao was not ready at all, so he rushed
The Ducks are going to hold this competition, so when they see these twenty-plus pages of manuscripts, their first impression is definitely not worth watching. If this is the case, then Chen Chen and Pan Wen’s advantage will be
Bigger.
Chen Chen and Pan Wen now understood Lu Yao's intention.
Then Lu Yao briefly explained a few words, and most of them were about professional matters related to the manuscript. After the conversation was almost finished, Lu Yao said that he would go back to the room to continue retreat. Unexpectedly, Chen Chen
Stopped himself.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yao asked.
Chen Chen said: "The two of us were probably too excited to talk to you yesterday, and we forgot to tell you something very important."
"Oh?" This did not make Lu Yao expect that if Chen Chen could tell something important, it goes without saying that it must be related to the new Cuju competition. "Tell me about it."
"Actually, I don't know if it was the advice you gave Mr. Han, or if it was decided by them themselves. Wenyuan team has already changed three players in their lineup." Chen Chen thought for a while and said.
Lu Yao was very surprised. Obviously, because of his retreat, the news had not reached Lu Yao's ears until now. If Lu Yao hadn't asked the two of them to pick up the manuscript today, he might not have known about this situation until the end of his retreat.
"You mean, Wenyuan team changed three players, what happened?" Lu Yao asked quickly.
"Master, the master is here." Chen Chen was about to reply when he heard Uncle Fu's voice coming over. Lu Yao quickly winked at the two of them. The two understood and instantly gave him what Lu Yao had just done.
The manuscripts were put into their sleeves respectively.
The next second, Lu Xu appeared in Lu Yao's sight.
"Huh? Isn't it already time to read? What are you doing standing at the door? Why are you two here again today?" Lu Xu and Lu Hao, who were about to go to court, saw Lu Yao standing at the door.
Just when Lu Xu was feeling strange, he later saw Pan Wen and Chen Chen outside the door, and then he realized that the matter must have not been finished last night.
However, because Pan Wen and Chen Chen had already put away the manuscript, Lu Xu didn't notice it. Lu Yao walked up to Lu Xu and explained a few words. Lu Xu nodded, so he didn't say anything more.
, followed Lu Hao and disappeared from the sight of several people.
Later, Lu Yao asked Pan Wen and Chen Chen to tell him everything about the substitution of Wenyuan team.
Pan Wen and Chen Chen naturally did not dare to neglect, and then told what happened on the training ground, including the fact that the Han family secretly changed the team members, but Zhao Zhen was asked to praise the Han family's team. On the contrary, the Cao family remained unchanged.
Because of this wave of substitutions by the Han family, the team seemed to be inferior to the Han family's team, and was reprimanded by Zhao Zhen. He told Lu Yao about this.
Originally, Pan Wen and Chen Chen were thinking that Lu Yao was about to become the son-in-law of the Han family. It was impossible for a person with Lu Yao's identity not to know about the change of members of Han Yonghe's Wenyuan team, and even this.
It may be the idea given by Lu Yao, and the purpose is naturally to allow Han Yonghe's team to defeat Cao Guoshu's team in the game. However, when Pan Wen proposed this hypothesis yesterday afternoon, Lu Yao was always believed in.
Chen Chen flatly refused. Chen Chen said that Lu Yao had been in seclusion all day. Even if Han Yonghe and Cao Guoshu came, they would not be able to see Lu Yao. And with Lu Yao's personality, even if it was Han Yonghe, he would not be able to see Lu Yao.
If you really come up with the idea to ask the opponent to change players, then you must do it openly and not do such a sneaky thing.
The two went to Lu Mansion with different attitudes. They originally wanted to talk to Lu Yao about the Han family's team member change, but after going back and forth, they forgot about it. This was because they came to Lu Mansion this time.
The more important purpose was to find out how to improve the team's strength. Later, when chatting with Lu Yao about this matter, both of them were so involved that they forgot to tell him about substitutions for a while.
By the time they were about to say something, Lu Xu had already issued an eviction order. Fortunately, they still had a chance to go to the Lu Mansion this morning, so they thought of talking to Lu Yao about this matter.
Lu Yao listened to Pan Wen and Chen Chen explain the whole story and asked: "In your opinion, the Han family's team should be stronger than the Cao family."
Both of them nodded, and Pan Wen said: "At first, the two teams could be said to be about the same strength, but now Han Yonghe's side has suddenly replaced three people as team members who look like they have great skills, and
As for the Cao family, the strength of the entire team has been lowered because of the two living treasures, one fat and one thin. Now, who is strong and who is weak can be seen at a glance."
Lu Yao fell into thinking. After a moment, he said: "How did Cao Guojiu behave towards this wave of operations by the Han family?"
Chen Chen took the words and said: "Speaking of the Cao family's reaction, it is a bit strange. Uncle Cao Guo didn't know anything about the Han family's substitution. This is understandable, even if it is true that he has watched the Han family's team training before
The situation, but Uncle Cao Guo basically just watched it in passing, and it was understandable that he didn't notice that the team members had been changed. But..."
Lu Yao said: "I understand, what you want to say is Cao Yu's reaction."
Chen Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I remember you said, Sir, that the son of the Cao family, Cao You, is a thoughtful and conscientious person. Moreover, when he watches each team's training on the sidelines, he will also take out a pen and paper.
Come and record it. If it is such a person, I think he should not have noticed that the Han family changed team members."
Lu Yao felt that Chen Chen's analysis was reasonable, and he knew Cao You relatively well, so he said: "In other words, Cao You knew that the Han family had changed team members, but he did not take any action himself, and he did not tell this matter.
To his father Cao Guojiu."
Pan Wen said: "That should be it. Because of this, it was later said that uncle Cao Guo returned to the house and had a big fight with Cao You. He felt that he had been deceived."
"I think Cao You doesn't want to break the current tenet that the Cao family's team is made up of common people. If Cao Yi knows about the Han family's substitution, according to Cao Yi's character, he will definitely treat the members of the Lions team
I don’t dare to say anything about the replacement. The fat one and the thin one will definitely not stay in the team anymore." Lu Yao analyzed.
Chen Chen said: "However, the two of them are really not very strong. Why does Mr. Cao Yu have to keep them in the team?"
Lu Yao smiled and said: "Of course you two won't understand. The reason why Cao Yu wanted to keep those two people was to show the people how much this new type of Cuju can change a person's body shape.
If we find some people with good physiques to compete, what effect will we see?"
"It turns out that he values the impact of this game on the people more than the victory or defeat of his own team." When Pan Wen said this, he couldn't help but admire Cao Youlai.
Chen Chen then asked: "Sir, look at this matter..."
Lu Yao shook his head and said: "The matter has come to this, and the emperor has nodded in agreement. Naturally, I have no choice but to think that Han Wenyuan, who looks so honest, can come up with such a method."
After saying this, Lu Yao asked Uncle Fu to go to the study room to get pen and paper. After receiving it, he directly took two pieces of rice paper and started writing.
Pan Wen and Chen Chen looked on. It seemed that Lu Yao was writing two letters, but the contents didn't seem to be long and they were written quickly.
Lu Yao handed these two letters to Pan Wen and Chen Chen, and told them that one of the two letters was to be delivered to the emperor personally, and the other was to be delivered to Cao You.
Chen Chen and Pan Wen took it over. Just when they thought Lu Yao was going to say something more, Lu Yao had already turned around and was about to leave the house.
"There's nothing else to do. You two are going to take care of things related to the coach today. Just help me deliver the two letters. Also, I'm really in retreat this time, so don't bother me.
"
Lu Yao walked inside and waved his hand outside.
Seeing Lu Yao's attitude, Pan Wen and Chen Chen said nothing more, left the Lu Mansion and went straight to the palace.
Lu Yao went back to his room and closed the door.
To say he wasn't angry would be a lie. The reason why Lu Yao drove Pan Wen and Chen Chen away in a hurry just now was because he didn't want them to notice that he looked angry.
It can be said that Lu Yao has done a lot for the Han family. For this new Cuju competition alone, the grassroots team was found for them by himself. Now they actually used a trick behind his back to change the situation and replaced three whole people.
team members, and they had no intention of informing themselves.
