Chapter 160
It is related to the entire Tang Dynasty, so naturally it cannot be implemented casually. For this order to reach three provinces and six ministries, the officials below need to make fine adjustments.

It may take one or two years for the initial preparation alone, and if it is carried out slowly, it will take at least ten years to complete it, and at most it will take a generation of talents.

Even if Li Shimin is anxious, it is of no use, nor can he speed up.

However, the notice can be issued in advance to give the scholars of the world a psychological preparation, and they will not be at a loss when it is actually implemented.

In fact, this is enough, as long as the notice is posted, not only the scholars in the world can see it, but also the soldiers can see it.

They will know what the improvement of the imperial examination system means to them, and they will be the ones who are anxious at that time.

This can also gain some space for the struggle between Liu Sheng and Wu Xing Qi Wang, which can greatly attract Wu Xing Qi Wang's attention.

At that time, when the five surnames and seven Wangs can't take care of Liu Sheng, it will be Liu Sheng's counterattack.

Liu Sheng smiled meaningfully, and then left the hall with the ministers.

The imperial examination system will inevitably involve books, and Liu Sheng has already thought about these.

Sure enough, not long after he left, and before he had time to leave the palace, Li Shimin sent someone over.

"Liu Consort, Your Majesty welcomes you!"

Liu Sheng didn't have the slightest surprise, nodded and followed Xing'an back to the side hall.

……

At the same time, officials from the six ministries of the three provinces went down and quickly drafted the notice.

Even though the imperial examination system could not be implemented immediately, they still had to let the scholars know.

Soon, some servants were sent to post notices in various parts of Chang'an City, announcing it to the world, so that all scholars in the world would know.

The notice from Chang'an City is believed to spread to all parts of the Tang Dynasty soon, and it is time for them to wait.

On the street, many people gathered in front of a newly posted notice.

Different from all kinds of people in the past, this notice is surrounded by some weak-looking young people, and you can guess their identities by looking at their clothes. These are all scholars.

A large group of scholars are not at home to read the books of sages and sages, why did they come out and browse in front of an ordinary notice, looking quite excited.

Like a delinquent boy flipping through an illustrated book.

Some passers-by looked around the crowded notice suspiciously, and couldn't help asking the vendors at the side stall:

"What are these scholars looking at?"

These vulgar people will not go forward to look at the scholars when they see them. It is one thing to be illiterate, but there are more scholars. Even though they have respect, they dare not provoke them.

The peddler was silent, just looked at the things on his stall, the appearance was already very telling.

Passers-by had no choice but to spend their money to buy one, which made the vendor say:
"I don't know, I'm just here too, and I can't read!"

"You, you..." The passer-by widened his eyes and pointed at the vendor, "You pay me back!"

The small vendor ignored it, but he still had professional ethics:
"Wait a minute, I will tell you when I hear it!"

Just at this time, there were bad people on patrol passing by, and they said loudly:

"Folks, don't make trouble!"

The passer-by gave up and sat in front of the booth unwillingly waiting in anger.

This is just a corner of the street, and so are other places.

It has to be said that this notice alone has supported many street vendors, and many of them have professional ethics.

At least I still understand something.

The scholars who were discussed by them were so excited that they couldn't express it. After reading the notice hastily, they immediately shared their excitement with the people who came together:
"Brother Liu, Your Majesty's reopening of the imperial examination is a very good thing for us. We have been in Chang'an for too long, and we still can't wait for hope to step into the high hall." A young man in a gray robe raised his hat , said to the down-and-out scholar beside him.

The down-and-out scholar also smiled and nodded: "Extremely extreme. The cost of Chang'an is really high. Those of us from other places really can't afford it. According to the notice, we can wait for a while. Exams are also available."

"Brother Li," a scholar retracted his long sleeves, grabbed the arm of the person walking beside him, and said excitedly:

"Your Majesty reopened the imperial examination, saying that we can enter the examination fairly, and without recommendation, our chance has come!"

The person called Brother Li squinted his eyes, and after carefully reading the notice, his face also flashed a bit of joy, "It's so good, I don't have to worry about the coercion of the Zhuge Mansion anymore."

"If we can enter the test fairly, then Zhuge Mansion's recommendation will be useless, and you will no longer have to be entangled by the Zhuge family's wife." The lady stood together and couldn't bear to look directly.

Datang regards fat as its beauty, but it does not mean that fat people are very popular. The beauty of Datang is plumpness, not real obesity.

The imperial examination was reopened, liberating this tangled and painful young scholar.

The recommendation system already has too many disadvantages. Who knows what virtues the people recommended by the local government have?
There were also scholars who ran back to their dormitories with joy on their faces, and told the news to other colleagues who hadn’t come:
"Everyone, Your Majesty is going to reopen the imperial examination!"

"The re-opening of the imperial examination? Where did you get the news?" Someone was shocked when he heard the words, and then hurriedly asked:

"If the current situation is still the same, then there is no need for it. We have no one to recommend it. It is just a luxury to become an official in the court!"

"Hey, that's wrong. Just now when I went to the street, I saw the notice on the street. It's a new notice issued by the imperial court. It can't be wrong."

"Your Majesty wants to reopen the imperial examination, and divide the imperial examination into children's examination, rural examination, general examination, palace examination and court examination. As long as we can pass it, it will no longer be a dream to enter the palace!"

"Really?" When the other party said this, the scholars who were holding the old books quickly stopped the books, looked over and said:

"It can't be fake, we've spent too long in Chang'an, but we can't stand such a waste of time."

"It's true, if you don't believe me, you can go to the street to have a look, the notice is still there!"

"Go, go, go and see!"

"Go together, go together."

"Hahaha, that's great!" Someone laughed wildly, "It's so good, it's not in vain that I've spent more than ten years studying sage books, unable to serve the court!"

"After all, the imperial court is sympathetic to us. Your Majesty's grace is great, and we don't have to be coerced by the clans anymore."

"I won't leave this Chang'an city. Even if I go to the streets to beg, I will stay here and wait for the imperial examination to be reopened. If I don't get any merit, I will go back to my hometown to face my elders without shame!"

There are quite a few people who are as determined as him, and they are all humble scholars who do not succumb to the family and wholeheartedly go to the court.
