Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 305 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

The common people were all filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could look like they had eaten them.

At this time, Li Chengdao waved his hand to signal them to be quiet.

Everyone cooperated very well and quickly quieted down.

Li Chengdao said loudly.

"Don't be impatient, everyone. We only treat things and not people. I treat all the people equally. As long as the son of the family is capable, I will let him become an official and serve the court."

"What we should be angry about is those people with evil intentions. It is they who undermine this fairness and this justice. We must resolutely put an end to such behaviors!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help applauding.

"Okay, Your Majesty said it very well!"

"The Holy Majesty's mind is as broad as the sea, and it's great to say that you are right about things and wrong about people!"

"That's right, it's those people with evil intentions that we should hold grudges against. If I catch them, I must beat them up!"

At this time, the children of the family in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief. The scene of tens of thousands of people attacking the family in the battle just now terrified them.

It wasn't until Li Chengdao said "treat the situation, not the person" that he helped them out. Therefore, they felt more grateful to Li Chengdao.

At this time Li Chengdao continued.

"When I was patrolling privately incognito just now, I happened to see someone engaging in bribery. Moreover, the examiner did not resist the temptation and opened the door for the examinee, which seriously undermined the fairness of the examination!"

"Now I want to judge these two people in public, so that everyone can see what happens to bribery and cheating!"

"Bring me up!"

After Li Chengdao finished speaking, the two guards immediately escorted the bad examiner and the son of the aristocratic family to the front of the stage, kicked them down, and made them kneel on the ground.

The common people immediately understood that these two people should be the ones who cheated and let go!

For a moment, the crowd was excited, and their faces were full of anger.

"I said why the two of them were detained just now. It turns out that they are the villains who did despicable things, bah!"

"It looks like a dog, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of person!"

"This matter must be severely punished, and they must be severely punished, otherwise we will be unhappy!"

"Yes, that's right, you must be severely punished for such a despicable act!"

"If this matter is not treated strictly, we will no longer believe in justice!"

"Hehe, how can there be any fairness in this world, how can there be any justice?!"

……

At this time, Li Chengdao waved his hand, and the audience immediately fell silent.

he said slowly.

"I will protect your justice!"

Then he looked at the two kneeling on the ground with a stern expression.

"Zhen Bukai, it is a great honor for you to be the examiner of my first scientific examination in the Tang Dynasty, but you not only don't cherish it, but also do such things like accepting bribes and releasing water."

"You simply don't take me seriously. You are lawless and contemptuous of the emperor's prestige. I will sentence you to behead for public display. I will execute it immediately!"

With the end of Li Chengdao's trial speech, the examiner Zhen Bukai was pulled aside by a guard, ready to execute the sentence.

Zhen Bukai was scared to pee, really scared to pee, he yelled.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"The criminal will never dare again!"

But Jun Wu joked, whoever the emperor let him die, he has no possibility of living.

The guard raised his machete and swung it down.

Click!

Zhen Bukai's head was separated instantly, and the head was still rolling several times on the ground.

Not only did everyone not feel bloody when they saw this scene, but they cheered and applauded, with a look of anger.

"Okay, well done!"

"It's so exhilarating!"

It is different from the joy and applause of the people.

All the examiners present could not help but feel a chill in their necks, and their hearts were filled with fear.

Some examiners who originally had the idea of ​​accepting bribes gave up such ideas one after another at the moment.

This trick kills chickens and monkeys.

They are afraid!

Next, it was the turn of the son of the aristocratic family. Li Chengdao had already figured out that this person was from the Wang family in Taiyuan, and his name was Wang Shengyu.

When Wang Shengyu saw the scene just now, he was already frightened out of his wits. He, a son who was just eating and waiting to die, had never seen such a scene before, and he was so frightened that he shit and pissed, which was even more exaggerated than Zhen Bukai.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty!"

"You can't kill me, you can't kill me, I'm from the Wang family! I'm from the Wang family!"

Before Li Chengdao tried him, he was already screaming in fright, and the fear of death made him lose his mind.

"Hahaha, you can't kill me, I'm from the Wang family, my Wang family has gods, none of you can survive, none of you can survive!"

Li Chengdao snorted coldly.

Now even if the gods come, they can't save you!

Because Li Chengdao's murderous intentions had already started, the crime he committed could not have resulted in death, but if he wanted to blame it, he could only blame him for being unlucky and hit Li Chengdao's gun.

Kill the chicken and the monkey!
Li Chengdao is not a soft-hearted person. Although Li Chengdao is kind, he is not a virgin, and he will never be vague when it is time to kill.

Moreover, Wang Shengyu has committed public outrage, he must die today.

The voice of judgment sounded.

"Wang Shengyu, you don't cherish the exam opportunities I gave you. You bribed the examiners, sabotaged the scientific exams, committed crimes against the wind, and despised the court and me. The crime is heinous. You should be punished. I will sentence you to behead for public display and execute immediately!"

The voice just fell.

Another guard also dragged Wang Shengyu aside, raised the machete in his hand, and swung it down.

"Forgive me, forgive me, help me..."

Click!

The heads are separated.

So far, the two people who gave and accepted bribes were beheaded for public display, which greatly frightened those who harbored evil intentions.

Li Chengdao looked around at the crowd below, and said loudly.

"Imperial examinations are the best policy to benefit the country and the people, and I will never tolerate someone to sabotage them!"

"For this kind of bribery and cheating, my attitude is zero tolerance, and I will kill you. Once discovered, I will never tolerate it!"

"Dark clouds cannot cover the sun, evil will eventually be defeated, and true victory will always belong to justice!"

These words won the applause of the people again.

"Your Majesty is really a wise king through the ages!"

"We must always support him!"

Li Chengdao's actions not only deterred those with evil intentions, so that they would not dare to do such despicable things again; they also won the hearts of the people, and won the love and respect of the majority of the people.

After Li Chengdao's trick to scare the monkeys, the scientific examination went smoothly. Li Shimin also specially increased the invigilation and patrol inspection, and no bribery or cheating was found.

With Li Chengdao's iron-blooded tactics, almost no one dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head.

In the end, Datang's first imperial examination ended.

Although there are some small episodes in the process, this does not prevent people from praising this system.

This imperial examination filled the official positions that were vacant due to the previous evaluation of officials.

The candidates are basically poor students who had no hope of becoming an official before. There are also children from aristocratic families, but there are only a few of them.

It can be seen from this that the aristocratic families have already begun to corrupt. Even if Li Chengdao did not suppress them, they would decline on their own before long.

Li Chengdao personally issued the appointment edict for the selected candidates.

"From the moment you accept the imperial edict, you are already officials of our Great Tang."
