Chapter 311 I Can't Hear, I Can't See Everlasting (Part [-])
Chapter 309

The provincial test is the last level before the palace test. As long as you pass the provincial test, the palace test is more like a formality. As long as you don't perform too abnormally, you can pass the palace test directly.

But now there is a big problem that is the little prince of Dese, Zhao Ji, who has already passed the state examination. He was impeached by officials.

Zhao Ji, who suddenly became extremely depressed and depressed, had no one to talk to, so he simply came to find Wang Yang for a drink, and vomited bitterness in the restaurant.

"Isn't it? Those guys are sick or crazy. It's none of their business if you take your exam?" Wang Yang, who was holding a fat chicken leg, stared at the depressed Zhao Ji in front of him.

It never occurred to me that His Royal Highness Duan Wang just wanted to take an exam, and those censors actually wanted to impeach him, isn't this nonsense?
"If those ordinary clans go to the imperial examination, it's fine, but who made His Highness a son of the clan, and a prince..." Gao Qiu, who was sitting by the side drinking helplessly, shook his head and smiled wryly.

From Gao Qiu's point of view, Zhao Ji's taking part in the imperial examination is a boring and boring thing, but the problem is that this buddy has always been fond of it and loves to make trouble.

The important thing is that after he actually passed the state examination, Zhao Ji began to act ambitiously, as if he must be the first His Royal Highness in history to become a Jinshi.

Gao Qiu tried to persuade him, but the problem is that Zhao Ji, who is a prodigy, would not let go of this opportunity to gain seduction in front of others, and naturally he would not listen. During this period of time, he has worked very hard.

But now that the provincial examination is approaching, I don’t know which bastard leaked Zhao Ji’s alias and gave it to Yushi. Like blood, he began to sharpen his knife, as if he wanted to take the knife on His Royal Highness Zhao Ji.

This news was told to Gao Qiu by an old friend of Gao Qiu quietly. After Gao Qiu was taken aback, he hurriedly reported it to Zhao Ji, and that's why today's ecstasy feast was held.

And Zhao Ji was just an idle prince, the kind whose grandma doesn't love his uncle, except for the ninth brother who is the emperor, he just has the title of prince, other than that, there is nothing else at all. .

After all, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were extremely strict about the defense of the clan, not to mention there was Song Taizong who took over the throne of Taizu with the sound of an ax and candle shadow.

It is not known whether Emperor Taizong killed his elder brother Song Taizu himself, but the problem is that after that, Song Taizu's own sons and Emperor Taizong's younger brothers all rolled their eyes and died as teenagers or adults, enough to see this Emperor Taizong Vigilance about preserving the throne.

After that, Emperor Taizong made a decree.All the descendants of the clan lived in the imperial city of the capital, "given a high salary, and no other occupation."

They are not allowed to take part in the imperial examinations, but they can still be awarded official titles that have positions but no powers, but are in name but with good salary; Misfortune".

A hundred years later, by the time of Emperor Shenzong, the clan had nearly a thousand households, which was a considerable financial expense, so Zhao Xu's father, the wise and mighty reformer Shenzong, reformed the clan system.

In November of the second year of Xining, an edict was issued to "don't be close or distant, and be killed if you are different": the children of the clan other than the fifth service were not allowed to live in the imperial city; Special treatment of subsidies; however, the clan is allowed to pass the imperial examination.

This reform directly touched the interests of most clan members.Shenzong and Wang Anshi changed the official system for the sons and daughters of the clan, which caused many distant families to lose the opportunity to get official positions, which aroused their strong dissatisfaction.

But in the end, with the strong support of Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi and other reformists, it was finally implemented.But the problem is that one or two of the clan's children are fat-headed and big-eared, or they have already developed the habit of stretching out their clothes for their food and opening their mouths.

There are few people who can really study poetry and books hard to serve the country, so since the Shenzong Dynasty until now, no one has been admitted to Jinshi through the imperial examination.

However, in other subjects, there are also some clan children who have passed the exams and started to enter the society and work, and spend their lives and sweat hard for the country built by their ancestors.

And some thoughtful clans have already begun to think about the future of themselves and even their descendants. For example, the round-faced female driver Chen Jie's old Ping Yin Hou Zhao Shixun has devoted himself to the heavy business work as a prince. Do your best to benefit your offspring.

However, since the empress dowager Gao Taotao came to power, the old party almost abolished the new law after it took power. On the issue, it seems to have maintained a silent and ambiguous attitude.

It seems that members of the old party have also seen that although in their eyes, the new law is bad, but it seems that Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi are still cooperating and complementing each other in dealing with the clan issue and reducing the country's financial burden, and they have done a good job.

Ever since, most of the old party officials who have been clamoring for the abolition of the new law, one or two pretended to be deaf and dumb, and let those clan children jump up and down, those old party officials seemed like a bunch of mentally retarded of.

When they face those clan children who are crying bitterly, or who are tearing their hearts, they will only face expressionless, and silently sing affectionately in their hearts: I can't hear, I can't see, the eternal promise... I only see, I only hear the lingering love I once had...

After listening to Gao Qi, who took the opportunity of Zhao Ji's ecstasy to drink away his worries, to explain the old calendar, Wang Yang couldn't help but slapped his mouth. "That's weird. Since the old party wants to drive all the clans to work, why do they want to impeach His Highness?"

"This is also what Gao Mou couldn't understand. Perhaps, it is not the old party members who want to impeach His Highness, but another group of people..."

"The most important thing is that His Highness is the Son of Heaven's younger brother, who regards you as the prince, but wants to participate in the imperial examination with those ordinary people. If His Highness really succeeds, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules?"

Wang Yang also recalled it, but he glanced at Zhao Ji, and wanted to talk to persuade this buddy to give up, but what he didn't expect was that Zhao Ji had already raised the corners of his eyes before he spoke on his side.

"Break the rules, whose rules are broken? When the emperor was alive, he had already abolished the clan rules of the Taizong period and allowed the clan's children to participate in the imperial examination to become officials. Am I not a clan's child?"

"..." Wang Yang and Gao Qiutong looked at each other like dogs, ouch, this guy has lost his temper.

Gao Qiu had no choice but to continue persuading him earnestly. "Then why do you want to take the exam, Your Highness? Naturally, we hope to succeed immediately, but the problem now is that if they impeach Your Highness...then it will directly go to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

"So what?" Zhao Ji said very hard and authentically, but if his face turned slightly pale and his voice trembled, it would appear to be very imperfect.
