Chapter 494: The Second Imperial Examination


492nd Second Imperial Examination Then, the war in Qi seemed to calm down in an instant, and there was no military action.

This is all due to the fact that Gangneung is holding the second autumn imperial examination since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

It is only said that after arriving in Jiangling, Gao Qi also fulfilled his promise and let Cai Yong serve as the priest of the country.

I have to say that Cai Yong is indeed a golden signboard, after Cai Yong served as the country's chief priest.

This move immediately attracted many talented people from all over the world, and they rushed to Jiangling together, and for a while, Jiangling suddenly became a sensation again, and many talented people came one after another.

Among them, there are later generations of writers such as Wang Wei and Wen Tingjun, who were summoned out.

Some of these writers studied directly in the Guozijian, and some were secretly dormant around Jiangling, preparing to wait until the autumn imperial examination came, so that they could learn in their chests, and then be appreciated by Gao Qi and enter the Guozijian service.

Almost every talented man has his own ideas, but their goal is the same, that is, to enter the Guozijian, and they are all aimed at the world's great Confucian, Cai Yong.

The situation is developing in a favorable direction, and at this moment, the generals led by Li Cunxiao finally understood why Gao Qi tried his best to win over Cai Yong to the south.

From this point of view, this is indeed Gao Qi's far-sightedness and long-term vision However, at this time, Li Cunxiao was on his honeymoon, and his relationship with Cai Yan was in the run-in period.

Even Gao Qi didn't expect that as the strongest person in martial arts, how could he be with a rare talented woman in the world, and he could know and love each other.

Do the two really have a common topic together, Gao Qi expressed deep doubts about this.

However, this is the case, Gao Qi didn't stop anything, and it was all going on in an orderly manner according to the happy side of everyone.

After arriving in Jiangling, it was Lu Lingqi who was really saddened, because of Lu Bu's defection in the middle, it made Diao Chan's family sad and indignant However, Gao Qi did not embarrass the family of three, and also arranged a residence for Diao Chan's family in Jiangling, and did not abuse his family because of Lu Bu's defection.

After all, Gao Qi is well aware of Lu Bu's temperament, forgetting righteousness and betraying his master.

It is worth mentioning that after returning to Jiangling, Zhao Yun met and married Wang Zhaojun, the eldest lady of the wealthy Wang family in Jiangling.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the hottest summer and the beginning of autumn.

In September, it is the season when the willow branches decay and lose their leaves, and in this golden scenery, the second autumn imperial examination of Qi has officially kicked off and is held in Jiangling.

It's just that, compared with the calm of the Qi country, the north at this time is full of wars, and all parties are merging against the king.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was entrenched in Jianghuai, signed an armistice treaty with the Qi army, recuperated, and waited for the autumn harvest to officially begin to use troops against the Jiangdong princes.

Its intention was already obvious, that is, to eliminate the rebel kings and unify Jiangdong.

In this imperial examination, its liveliness is more than the flow of people during the first imperial examination, based on this, Gao Qi for the sake of safety, but also deliberately during the imperial examination.

The garrisons around Jiangling were all transferred back, headed by Gong Yuan, the general of Zuo Xiaocai, who was responsible for the security around Jiangling City.

As for the imperial examination venue, Gao Qi also sent Dian Wei, Chen Zhi as the main leader, and led the Praetorian Guards to be stationed outside, responsible for the safety of the candidates.

After all the preparations were completed, the imperial examination officially began.

Unlike previous years, the competition at this time began with the Art of War, and as for literature and majors, there was a fixed venue, and candidates went to the examination according to the prescribed venue.

The examiner of literature is Cai Yong, and as for the admission of majors, it is the corresponding major to admit.

In the past year, Gao Qi has vigorously built new schools in the territory to popularize education, so more and more people are studying and mastering cultural knowledge in the territory.

However, the only drawback is that movable type printing has not yet been invented, which is the biggest problem.

Although paper has become more popular, the lack of movable type printing is the biggest problem.

After all, no matter how much paper there is, there is no printing technology, and copying all kinds of articles, even poems and songs, still needs to be completed by the children of the family.

It must be known that in ancient times, there were almost no people who knew culture, so even if Gao Qi was painstakingly building a school, there was no printing press.

For the suppression of the family, it is still empty talk, but it is still the family that will master the knowledge inheritance at that time, which is almost a dead circle.

However, in this major admission, one person gradually entered Gao Qi's eyes, that is, Jin Dajian, a Liangshan literati summoned by Gao Qi.

Jin Dajian is quite accomplished in engraving, and after the imperial examination, Gao Qi personally summoned Jin Dajian and told Jin Dajian what he had come into contact with in later generations about movable type printing.

Subsequently, he informed Jin Dajian of some of the invention techniques he was familiar with, and asked him to try to invent movable type printing.

After all, only when movable type printing is popularized, can Gao Qi truly grasp the knowledge and firmly grasp it in his hands.

In this way, in terms of universal education, Gao Qi can be like a fish in water and realize it according to his own ideas.

Although Gao Qi knows the invention skills of movable type printing, as the saying goes: "There is a specialization in the art industry, you are not the one who eats this bowl of rice, and it is impossible to create it." ” Therefore, after Gao Qi informed Jin Dajian of the concept of movable type printing, he let him go and let him study and try.

"King Qi, Jian can promise you to invent movable type printing, but Jian still has a request, can he transfer the Holy Hand scholar Xiao Rang as the deputy of the grass people."

"After all, the grass people have been friends with them since their early years, and we know the roots and cooperate closely, and if the two of them cooperate, the possibility of researching movable type printing will be higher."

Seeing this, Gao Qi's impression of Jin Dajian couldn't help but be very good, how could Gao Qi, who had been in a high position for a long time, not see Jin Dajian's plans.

Jin Dajian is nothing more than rich and wants to share a piece of the pie with friends, so he asks for this.

However, there was no harm in this matter, and Gao Qi readily agreed.

"Jin Dajian, if you lack manpower, material and financial resources in the process of research, you can come to find Gu at any time, and Gu will definitely do his best to help."

"The grass people thank King Qi for his appreciation, and they will do their best" The imperial examination, which lasted for several days, gradually came to an end, and in the final martial arts competition of the imperial examination, the last martial champion was undoubtedly Xue Dingshan, the son of Xue Rengui, followed by his wife Fan Lihua.

Since Gao Qi stipulated that women could also take the examination before the imperial examination, Fan Lihua also participated with her husband Xue Dingshan.

As for the next strategy test of the art of war, the first one deserves to be Wei Qing, after all, Wei Qing has a 101 commander.

Gao Qi thought that Pei Xingjian would be next, but when his eyes swept, Gao Qi felt that happiness came too suddenly.

Because, so many talents have joined the competition.

Below Wei Qing was the Southern Song Dynasty general Yu Yunwen, followed by the Tang Dynasty famous general, Liu Renliang, a famous Tang Dynasty general who defeated the Japanese and Baekje coalition forces in history.

As for Fan Zhongyan, who was born a long time ago, followed by Pei Xingjian.

Gao Qi never expected that so many talents would appear during the imperial examination.

A total of 2,200 martial arts students participated in the imperial examination, including 120 in horse warfare, 500 in foot combat, and the rest were all in archery.

The reason why the proportion of horse battles is so small is actually due to the geographical advantage.

After all, due to the hilly and mountainous terrain in the south, the tributaries are dense, and the water system is staggered and complex, for the southern men, basically they will not focus on skilled war horses.

Looking at the figures, almost all of these 100 martial artists came from the north, but because it was a time of war, the rulers of various places strictly guarded the borders to prevent population loss.

It is important to know that in times of war, population is the most important aid, whether it is conscription or production, it is inseparable from population.

As for the final elimination, there are only more than 1,420 people left, in this regard, Gao Qi arranged them in the army and distributed them according to their abilities.

In the imperial examination, it was the low-level officers who really enriched the Qi army, but in fact, the importance of the low-level officers was self-evident If the general is the soul of the army, then the low-level officers are equivalent to the limbs.

Just think about it, an army with a sound military system will not be elite Even if there is any problem with the general, but the low-level officers restrain the soldiers and horses of the battalion, the sergeants under his command can still fight bravely to kill the enemy, and the impact of losing the commander can be minimized.

After the distribution of martial arts, Gao Qi also focused anxiously on the literary examination.

I have to say that there are real talents in the literary examination, such as Su Shi, Du Fu, Liu Zongyuan and other Tang and Song Dynasty writers who participated in it.

At this moment, even the erudite Cai Yong couldn't help but feel that his head was big, and he didn't know who to set as the new champion for a while.

After all, there are so many writers that everyone can be called a masterpiece.

However, as the saying goes: everyone picks up materials and has a high flame, and after discussing with many well-educated people in Guozijian, Cai Yong decided to come down and report to Gao Qi.

In the end, Gao Qi personally announced the list of champions and flowers, among which Du Fu is this year's new champion.

The list is Li Bai, who is outstanding in writing, but the appearance of the list of flowers suddenly caused a huge wave among the talents.

Because Tanhua turned out to be a woman, named Li Qingzhao, who was a female lyricist in the Southern Song Dynasty.

This makes the talented people who are quite proud on weekdays how to endure it, and they can't help but gather together to protest.

Seeing that there was more and more trend in this matter, Gao Qi heard this, but he was instantly furious, and crushed the fold in his hand.

"These scholars are too deceitful, they are really lawless."

"Allowing women to participate in the imperial examination is an isolated proposition, women should be equal to men, why can't they participate?"

"The talented man lost to a woman, it's not good to go back and reflect, and he still has the face to make trouble here alone" "Dian Wei listened to the order, quickly summoned the Royal Forest Army, surrounded all the talents, and Cun Xiao and Lone, went to meet these lawless talents."

At this moment, Gao Qi really couldn't bear it, indeed, the purpose of Gao Qi's imperial examination was to attract talents.

However, the candidates who came out of the literary examination either entered the Guozijian to teach, or they were assigned to teach and educate people in schools in various counties.

What is the most important thing as a teacher It's not about how much talent you have learned, it's really about self-cultivation.

It must be known that if as a teacher, he doesn't even have the most basic teacher morality, how can he teach and educate people, and he really won't lead students badly You must know that students who are in childhood have not yet formed their own minds.

It can be said that at this time, they are almost the most psychologically fragile period, and they are easily affected by external things.

It is conceivable how much impact it will have on students if there are no teachers who teach and educate people Mr.

Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period said: "Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself" That is to say, don't impose your ideas on others, and in Gao Qi's opinion, don't pass on your bad aspects to the next generation.

Therefore, in the imperial examination, Gao Qi paid the most attention to moral quality, followed by talent.

Therefore, now all the scholars have joined forces to make trouble, which has made Gao Qi make up his mind.

Outside the palace, at this moment, I saw that about a hundred scholars were gathering in a mess.

Among them, the scholar who took the lead in the agitation was named Li, and he ranked fourth in the list of this imperial examination.

It is only one step away from Tanhua, so it is the most resentful among them, and it is purely normal to incite the scholars to make trouble.

It's just that what all the scholars didn't expect was that they were guilty of Gao Qi's rebellion.

In less than a moment, I saw that under the command of Dian Wei, the Imperial Forest Army continued to pour out of the palace.

Then he directly surrounded the gathered scholars in the middle, and stood upright with their spears one after another, majestic and murderous The Imperial Forest Army is the personal guard of the palace, and its special job is to protect the safety of the palace, and to put it bluntly, it is Gao Qi's personal guard.

The origin of this Royal Forest Army is actually the white-eared soldiers trained by Chen Zhi at the beginning, and as early as in the previous battles of Northern Xinjiang, it has made many military exploits.

Therefore, at this moment, the murderous aura emitted by the soldiers of the Royal Forest suddenly made all the soldiers tremble and were at a loss.

As time passed, the scholars who were surrounded by it could not help but become more and more uneasy.

After a long time, Gao Qicai slowly walked out of the palace under the close escort of Li Cunxiao, facing the scholars, and couldn't help but stand in front of him.

"As far as Lone knows, the list of Zhongju has been announced, and the scholars who did not have Zhongju should have left one after another."

"I don't know if you have gathered here for an important matter" "Lonely is very busy on weekdays, you have important things to do, but you don't have important things" Although Gao Qi did not say the latter words explicitly, the look he suddenly made suddenly shocked all the scholars present.

Seeing Gao Qi's expression, the timid scholar couldn't help swallowing his saliva, instinctively feeling fear.

In fact, almost all of these more than 100 scholars have been eliminated, but they blindly value themselves.

Therefore, it led to a wave of resentment, so he was bewitched by the scholar surnamed Li led by him and participated in the trouble.

However, with the change of the situation now, after finding that Gao Qi's attitude was very tough, they couldn't help but retreat.

After all, people are soft animals, and after discovering that they know they can't do anything, they can't help but retreat.

Seeing this, one of the scholars slowly stood up and said, "King, in fact, we are all very puzzled. ” "We were eliminated, and we didn't complain, our skills are not as good as others, but we can't figure out why King Qi wants to let a woman participate in the imperial examination."

"Moreover, it has also become a tanhua, and a woman has taken office, which is unprecedented, and I have never heard of it since ancient times."

For a while, with the words of this scholar, the rest of the scholars couldn't help but echo it.

This was followed by a fierce exhortation in the first and last sentences, in which he only asked Gao Qi to revoke Li Qingzhao's Tanhua and choose someone else.

It's just that it's possible Seeing this at this time, Gao Qi was sneering, and couldn't help but mock this move Indeed, in Gao Qi's view, this is the most naïve trick, his skills are not as good as others, but he still refuses to admit it.

Just as Gao Qi was about to reprimand, a woman walked out slowly and begged Gao Qi.

For a while, Gao Qi couldn't help but be more upbeat about his quality, and his inner determination became more and more resolute.

The great chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty called :
