He Ji had once been the teacher of Prince Zhao Yu, and now he was lecturing at the Chongzheng Hall. He naturally knew the depth of ink in Zhao Yu's belly, so he was inevitably nervous. He was worried that this poem was made up out of order, and that it was ghostwritten by a civil servant in the DPRK.
, making people laugh in front of the world’s students, but this is an ancient system and must be done.
Ma Tingluan and Weng Yinglong, who were deputy examiners, also knew about Zhao Yu's details. Although Ma Tingluan was pedantic, he always flaunted himself by upholding the orthodox imperial power, and he did not want to see me come up with a random poem to fool the candidates, so he was embarrassed
The emperor also looked nervous. As for Weng Yinglong, he was very calm. Mr. Jia would be happy when the emperor made a fool of himself.
I know what He Ji is thinking. There is no panacea for this poem that can be accomplished quickly. But I am not the uneducated Zhao Yu. I am the emperor who responds to the destiny of heaven, the son of heaven.
"I have specially composed a poem for this imperial examination. You are all among them, and you have come to judge me." I read loudly, "The anger of Kyushu depends on the wind and thunder, and it is pitiful for thousands of horses to stand silently. I make the Lord of Heaven cheer up, and I will not hesitate.
Talents will be demoted one level at a time.”
This is a poem written by Gong Zizhen, a poet of the Qing Dynasty. It is concise and concise. It means that I advise the Emperor to regain his spirit and not stick to certain standards and reduce more talents. I only changed one word in the original poem.
"I urge God to cheer up again" was changed to "I ask God to cheer up again". Gong Zizhen was a minister and could only persuade, but I was the emperor, so I used the word "command", which also showed my eclectic selection.
Talent determination.
Everyone present is a literary giant who has read poetry and books, so they can naturally understand the meaning of this poem.
In an instant, everyone was immersed in this poem.
Although this poem is not a household name in later generations, it is very appropriate on this occasion.
After all, He Ji and Ma Tingluan had rich experience and were the first to react. They both breathed a long sigh of relief and said almost at the same time: "What a poem."
I glanced at the stunned Weng Yinglong and thought to myself, go back and tell Jia Sidao that I am the emperor Zhao Yu, not the mediocre and incompetent prince Zhao Yu.
Kublai Khan in the north is heavily armed and will invade the south at any time. According to the course of history, the Xiangyang War will be launched in more than two years. Once the Xiangyang Battle is lost, the Southern Song Dynasty will never be able to recover. As I travel through time, the wheel of history
I can't predict whether it will change. In short, time waits for no one. I must break the situation of the three powers as soon as possible so that I can deal with the powerful Mongolia wholeheartedly.
After a while, the candidates all understood the meaning of this poem. A middle-aged student from a poor family thought: "The emperor is worthy of being the star in the sky and descending to earth. He is not restricted to any one, regardless of his origin. There is no need to judge the examiners. See
This time, a poor scholar like me has a chance."
"The anger of Kyushu depends on the wind and thunder, and it is sad that thousands of horses are silent. These two sentences are appropriate to current events, and the sentences are neat and natural."
"I will inspire God to give gifts to talents of all kinds. The last two sentences have a profound meaning and are the way to value talents."
"This order shows the emperor's courage. It is a really good poem. In the world, the emperor is the only one who can write such a heroic poem."
Everyone praised secretly in their hearts.
At this time, the candidate from a poor family suddenly walked out of his seat, knelt down, kowtowed three times, and cried out in tears: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, the common people..."
I don’t know what this candidate wants to express, maybe he is thinking of something from the eclectic nature.
Someone took the lead, and all the candidates couldn't help but kneel down and say: "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
If it was out of etiquette before, this time it comes from the heart.
Seeing these proud men kneeling in front of me, I couldn't help but feel proud. I enjoyed the admiration and no longer thought about this pirated poem.
With a smile on his face, He Ji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what is the title of this poem?"
"Let's just call Xianchun the imperial examination congratulations." I said with a smile, "I still have something to say about the lives of all the candidates."
He Ji shouted: "Everyone, please return to your seats and stand ready to listen to the emperor's instructions."
"The topic of this exam is the country's economy. Why do we need to talk about the economy? Instead of discussing the strategy of governing the country like before, I believe that a country needs all kinds of talents, including political talents and military talents. Economic talents are also indispensable.
This economy is not just a simple plantation industry, it covers a wide range of areas. As I said before, the Mongols are eyeing our country, and a battle between the two sides is inevitable. This war is not only a confrontation between the armies, but also a comprehensive strength.
In this competition, economic strength is one of the decisive factors. As the ancients said, etiquette can be understood through practicality. This is the truth. I know that most of you here do not understand economics. What you have learned is only the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs,
Why do I still have to choose from among you? That’s because you are sensible and understand the importance, and more importantly, you all have a heart to serve the country."
I looked at the candidates who were thinking seriously and continued: "To put it simply, if I have sufficient treasury, can I recruit a large number of elite soldiers, equip them with the best weapons, and save their families from worries? In short,
, The economy is one of the lifebloods of our country and one of the guarantees for the resurgence of our country. Dear students, the two consecutive days of exams have ended, and the results will be released in seven days. Many of you here will be officials.
As officials, I would like to congratulate you in advance, and also give you two sentences. The first sentence is the famous saying of Fan Wenzhenggong, which is familiar to everyone, worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness. The second sentence is
This is the way to be an official. If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and raise livestock."
The latter sentence comes from an unknown person in the Qing Dynasty. The sweet potatoes sold in sweet potatoes were only introduced to our country after the Ming Dynasty, so I have modified it.
"Finally, I have one more thing to announce. Anyone of you who have any skills other than poetry and poetry can register at the Gongyuan during these seven days. I need all kinds of talents. This is also the purpose of writing this poem. I am not limited to one.
As long as they are qualified, I will reuse them. In addition, I plan to establish an academy here, an academy that is different from other academies. I call it a university. There are two purposes for establishing this university. One is academic research.
It includes all kinds of physical skills, even ingenious skills. As long as they are beneficial to the development of our country, you can enter this university. The second is to cultivate talents and cultivate various talents needed for our country. You can be a teacher or a teacher.
Apprentice, the specific matters will be announced next month."
On March 17, the first year of Xianchun, I led a group of ministers to Baoshan Mountain in the southwest of Kuaiji. On the 18th, Lizong was buried in Yongmu Mausoleum. Among all Chinese emperors, Lizong was famous for his respect for Neo-Confucianism, so he was named after his temple.
Lizong, posthumously named Emperor Anxiao of Ming Dynasty, who made great achievements in building moral principles and rejuvenating the emperor.
Lizong of the Song Dynasty reigned for forty years, but Lizong's inactivity led to the decline of the Southern Song Dynasty, which never recovered.
What is even more tragic is that only fifteen years after his death, his tomb, including the tombs of several other emperors and concubines of the Southern Song Dynasty, were stolen by Tianya High Priest Yang Lianzhenjia and Yunze.
Soaked so that it was not yet decomposed at the time, the tomb robbers took his body out of the mausoleum and hung it upside down in the woods in front of the mausoleum to drain out the mercury. Later, Lizong's head was cut off, made into a drinking vessel, and sent to the Yuan Dynasty, the capital of Beijing.
Otherwise, his torso was burned. The person who came up with this idea was the high priest Yang Lianzhenjia, which meant that he would forever suppress the Southern Dynasty. This was something Lizong of the Song Dynasty never expected during his lifetime. Lizong’s head was not captured until the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang.
It was not found in the palace of the Yuan Dynasty until after Dadu. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to rebury Lizong's skull at the Song Mausoleum site and repair the damaged mausoleum.
But, now that I’m here, will history remain the same?
