It was dusk, and a few people were already drinking so much that they were leaning on each other. Not to mention being completely drunk, they were almost half drunk!
At this time, Li Er was holding a wine bowl and singing loudly, quite like a poet.
"When I'm about to drink wine, don't stop drinking. I'll sing a song with you. Please listen to me. Bells, drums, delicacies and jade are not expensive. I hope I won't wake up after being drunk for a long time. In ancient times, the sages were all lonely. Only the drinkers kept their spirits.
name……"
In ancient times, all the sages and sages were lonely, only the drinkers left their names!!
After chanting, Li Er glanced at Yang Fan with his drunken eyes.
Good poetry, really good poetry!
Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin also nodded drunkenly to make peace.
Yang Fan could only smile bitterly in his heart. People in the Tang Dynasty loved wine. How could there be no poetry without wine? He had just been drinking and writing poems and reciting poems, but he was deceived by a few people and pirated Shixian's "Jian Jin Jiu".
Man! When you are proud, your tail will be raised, and you will do some things that are beyond common sense. Only then did you realize that drinking is really easy to make things happen.
Drinking capacity is really not directly related to your level of martial arts.
Li Er didn't expect that Yang Fan was so talented. He was really his soulmate!
All the sages in ancient times were lonely, this is his current portrayal!
Those ordinary people, the people who live in the world, only see themselves killing their brothers and trapping their fathers for the throne.
But they don't know the pain in their hearts.
No one understands that life is as lonely as snow!
Now at least there is Jiang Jinjiu, and Yang Fan understands him!
So his eyes narrowed and he asked:
"Boy, you are not only proficient in medical skills and martial arts, but also have such talents. Why don't you get a meritorious service, contribute to the court, and benefit the people!"
"What's the good thing about being an official? If you don't do well, you'll be scolded by the people. If you do well, you'll be exhausted. How could you be so carefree and free now? You can eat when you want and sleep when you want. How leisurely and comfortable!"
blurted out.
This is also the conclusion I came to when I was drinking and bragging with my friends in my previous life.
Indeed, in ancient times, when you were an official, your official position was small and you had little say. When you were a big official, you had to be arrested by the emperor for a morning meeting before dawn. It was really hard!
"How could you have such an idea? We have read the Four Books and Five Classics and practiced the Six Arts since we were young, just to serve the imperial court in the future?"
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he was so angry that he taught him.
Judging from Lao Li and Lao Cheng's expression, he should have the same idea as Lao Fang.
Yang Fan was speechless for such a stubborn old antique. Who said that if you don't become an official, you can't serve the country!
Is it okay to do business and contribute to the country’s economic prosperity?
But he didn't use this theory to convince them.
After all, they would not understand the limitations of the times and could only give perfunctory explanations.
"Although the imperial examination system opened the way for talents from all over the world to enter officialdom, in fact there are still many unreasonable things. It is difficult for people who are not children of aristocratic families to go to high school."
"You think there is something unreasonable about today's imperial examination system for selecting officials?"
When Lao Li and Lao Fang heard what Yang Fan said, they looked unconvinced and asked angrily.
Even Cheng Yaojin, a big boss, looked surprised.
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
Several people looked at them with some surprise. It's so obvious that you still want to ask?
Yang Fan, who was drunk, did not realize that it was because he had more than a thousand years of experience that he felt that it was natural to see the loopholes.
The imperial examination was the first of its kind in China, and it was a very advanced method of recruiting officials at this time.
Even later, many dynasties continued to use it.
The college entrance examination and national examination in previous lives all drew on the strengths of the imperial examination system.
Although the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty had many drawbacks in his eyes, for today's era, it is the most advanced method of obtaining official positions.
"Please little friends, please help us clarify our doubts..."
Lao Fang looked at Li Er's gloomy expression and asked hurriedly.
The imperial examination system was Li Er's proud work. Now when I hear Yang Fan say that the imperial examination system he implemented has many shortcomings, of course I feel unhappy.
"Why are we talking about these things? This is not something we should worry about. It is what His Majesty and the ministers should worry about today..."
Yang Fan was a little depressed. He just drank and chatted, talking about state affairs!
In this day and age, if you talk too much, you will be punished for your words.
Furthermore, it can be seen from these several conversations that Lao Li and Lao Fang are also very knowledgeable and thoughtful people, and it is impossible not to see the shortcomings of today's imperial examinations!
Even though Cheng Yaojin usually looks innocent, he is very meticulous in many things. However, his rough appearance and heroic behavior deceived many people.
"My dear nephew, please also tell me that my younger brother, who is silent in the palace, is about to take the imperial examination. It would be good to know more about it. Besides, we are just chatting and will not spread it randomly. Isn't it just to talk about our opinions while drinking?"
Cheng Yaojin could only speak at Lao Li's signal.
Since a few people wanted to hear it, Yang Fan didn't care. After all, it wasn't a treasonous statement.
"Okay, since it's just small talk, let's just talk about it."
From the original intention of the imperial examination, the imperial examination system was very good for the current dynasty.
It broke the original monopoly of official careers by aristocratic families. It can be said that the dynasty opened the way for officials, giving scholars all over the world an opportunity to show their ambitions, and it was also conducive to the court to choose the best to serve. This is still more desirable.
Hearing this, Lao Li and Lao Fang Lao Cheng looked at each other, feeling somewhat pleased with themselves.
So he asked somewhat proudly:
"Then you still say that the imperial examination system has drawbacks?"
He curled his lips, still having some objections to Li Er interrupting his bragging.
Seeing Yang Fan's look, Li Er could only shut up immediately, suppress his dissatisfaction, and wanted to wait for this kid to finish speaking before refuting.
Seeing that Li Er was very knowledgeable, he continued.
Although the imperial examination has many advantages, it also has many shortcomings.
First, the imperial examination was held once a year, but the Tang Dynasty covered a vast area, and scholars had to rush to Chang'an City to take the examination.
Due to the long distance, candidates taking the exam have to spend several months on the road every year.
For wealthy families, there are naturally servants accompanying them.
For children from poor families, most of their time is spent traveling and raising exam fees, so how can they have time to study?
Second, in the imperial examination, candidates did not have their names obscured.
"What is name recognition system?"
Lao Li and the others were very considerate and complimented me.
Seeing that Lao Li and others were very smart, Yang Fan did not pretend to be cool and continued to explain:
In today's imperial examinations, the examinee's name can be seen by the examiner, which provides room for fraud and fraud.
After all, most of the officials in the imperial court are descendants of aristocratic families. If the examiner sees the name, can he give a high score to someone he knows when correcting the examination paper?
Isn't this unfair to the disciples from poor families?
Only by sealing each candidate's name with a seal, and then opening the papers after reading them uniformly, can this be a relatively fair selection method.
As the explanation continued, Lao Li and the others were fascinated, and they were stunned for a while. In the end, they could only nod their heads like chickens eating rice.
He took a sip of water to moisten his throat and continued.
Thirdly, those who passed the imperial examination had to be selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the content was nothing more than policy discussions, government decrees, copywriting and the like.
The children of the aristocratic family are familiar with government decrees, copywriting, etc., and are familiar with the work, so of course their results are excellent.
As for the children of poor families, they had never heard of government decrees or copywriting.
This is equivalent to indirectly opening a back door for the children of aristocratic families.
Fourth...
"Ah, why is there more?"
Li Er and others were indeed shocked. They did not expect that the imperial examination system that they were proud of had so many loopholes.
Isn't this a slap in the face?
"Uh... Okay, let's not talk anymore, let's drink..."
Seeing that Lao Li and the others looked a little ugly, they had no choice but to stop.
Li Er and others were not in the mood to drink. They were originally happy because they had found a way to raise funds for disaster relief. They became very excited.
…
It is said that after Lao Li and others left, they turned into a deserted corner.
In an instant, many fearless and powerful soldiers appeared around them. They stood far away, as if they were on guard for something.
At this time, Li Er stood with his hands behind his hands, completely different from his drunken expression just now.
At this time, he exuded a transcendent aura, and his whole person looked sharp and sharp, like an unsheathed sword, very domineering.
Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling deliberately slowed down their pace, one step behind Li Er.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little depressing, and after a while.
"Xuanling, Yaojin, what do you think of this boy?"
"Returning to your majesty, I just thought that this son was a loose man who liked money and was lustful..."
Even if there are some minor skills in medicine, they are just some minor talents.
But what I saw today was refreshing.
Solving the urgent needs of the court is like a horse flying in the air.
He has a deep understanding of the shortcomings of the imperial examination, and he can pick up poems handed down from ancient times at his fingertips!
Looking at everything, we can see his ruthless vision and unique insights.
Nai Weichen has only seen him in his life, and can only be described in a few words - a genius in the world.
"Yes, this son has great talents. If he can be used by the imperial court, it will be a blessing to the country, a blessing to the court, and a blessing to the people."
This guy usually seems lazy, but his personality is very arrogant. I don’t know if it’s because he has scruples or for some other reason. I tried him several times and he talked about it. It’s really a headache.
When Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin were having a heated discussion, Cheng Yaojin's words left him speechless.
"Why do you think so much? What if you don't join the court? After all, he is still young. Besides, if you have any questions, just ask him. Isn't he living in Chang'an City now? Hehehe, I, Cheng Hui, still have the eye for talent.
I have long noticed that this boy is different."
Li Er and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and cursed silently.
Cheng Yaojin is the same as Yang Fannas, they are both bad guys!
But Cheng Yaojin was right, this matter cannot be rushed!
"Your Majesty, I think he has a lot of money, and the little maid is quite beautiful, so why not start from these places."
After hearing Fang Xuanling's suggestion, Li Er narrowed his eyes, then showed a thoughtful look in his eyes, waved his hand and headed towards the imperial city.
