The happy life of a prodigal

This sound is everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Not to mention the scholars, even the grandparents were very interested when they heard the voice.

Imperial Examination?

Change?

This seems to be the first time!

You know, today's imperial examinations have been implemented for four or five hundred years, and there are almost no changes.

If it is a change, it means that there are many original subjects, but now there is only one Jinshi subject left.

Almost nothing.

After all, there were not many people who took the original subjects.

Is it possible to add those subjects back?

Those who didn't study all listened to the news with an attitude of watching the excitement.

Those readers are different.

Especially the scholars who have not yet obtained their honors and are eagerly looking forward to preparing for the next imperial examination.

They are even more so.

Any news related to the imperial examination can attract their attention.

Everyone is paying attention to the imperial examination with the spirit of [-] points.

At this moment, how can you not panic when you hear the word "imperial examination" added to the number?

As a result, the newspaper boy's extra-number newspaper was sold out in almost no time.

The people who bought it... naturally these scholars.

Of course, in addition to the scholars, there are also the parents of these scholars.

Most of them are wealthy merchants.

The Spring Breeze Building at this moment.

The diners exchanged cups and chatted happily.

Suddenly a voice came from outside: "Extra! Extra! There is a change in the imperial examination! There is a change in the imperial examination!"

The sound was very small, but it made the entire Chunfeng Building quiet down.

Everyone was silent when they heard the news.

Someone rushed out of the restaurant in a hurry, looked at the boy selling newspapers, and said loudly: "Give me an extra account!"

"Okay, a penny!"

"I'll give you one or two, don't look for it anymore!"

The merchant threw out a piece of silver and took a pile of newspapers.

Then he quickly returned to the restaurant.

When everyone saw this scene, they all stepped forward.

After a while, there was only one extra number left in the man's hand.

Everyone read the newspaper with their hands.

In just a moment, someone slapped the table angrily, stood up, and cursed: "Bastard! Isn't this a bastard!

Even if the imperial examination should be changed, it shouldn't be changed like this!

Isn't this going backwards?It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!

Whoever came up with this idea should be punished by the Nine Clans!Not one left! "

"It's simply absurd. All the things I have heard in my life are not so absurd. The imperial examination is the foundation of the court and the foundation of the country! Now it is going to be so reckless!

Sooner or later, the imperial court will be destroyed by this change in the imperial examination! "

"I really can't accept such a change in the imperial examination! I really can't accept it!

Don't say that this matter is still final, even if it has already been concluded, even if it is the order of the emperor today, this old man will never accept it!

Even if the old man knelt outside the palace, he would never accept it until he knelt to death!

It's just too much!

This is bullying us scholars again! "

"That's right, who came up with this absurd thing? It even printed an extra number? Is Your Majesty confused? Are the elders confused? Are you confused?

The imperial examination is the foundation of the imperial court, the foundation of thousands of scholars!They will be punished for doing so!You will be punished! "

For a time, the crowd was furious.

Many people even smashed the wine glasses in their hands.

If such a thing happens in normal times, no matter who it is, even if you are King Kang.

The shopkeeper of Chunfeng Building is also determined not to accept it, and will send someone to throw you out if you fail to keep it.

However, at this moment, the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Building pretended not to see it.

Because as early as a day ago, he had received a letter from the young master.

After seeing the young master's letter, he had a premonition that such a day would come.

But I didn't expect such a day to come so early.

smash it...

scold...

Give you a chance to smash and scold.

After a while, there will be no such opportunity.

The shopkeeper of Chunfeng Building looked at the scene in front of him, shook his head, and continued to calculate his own account without saying a word.

The diners were even more angry, they slapped the table, and cursed: "Which dog came up with this change in the imperial examination!?"

Chapter 7 Sixty

As soon as this remark came out, the topic of everyone became "who proposed the change of the imperial examination?".

At the beginning, everyone suspected that it was the emperor, or the result of a joint discussion between several elders.

After all, not everyone can decide on such a big matter.

If you think about it carefully, only the Son of Heaven and Elder Yan Zhuang and Yan Ge in the entire imperial court can make this decision.

Moreover, the civil and military officials above the court must not object.

You know, once this change in the imperial examinations occurs, needless to say, the most violent opposition must be the civil and military officials above the court.

Only these two were able to cross the court, make this decision directly, and publish it in Zhuxuanzhai's newspaper.

However, the diners thought about it, but they didn't think about the purpose of the two of them doing this.

Needless to say, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty is a benevolent king, and he has done a lot of good things for the people in recent years.

Similarly, he also took great care of the scholars, and definitely would not do such a thing at this critical juncture.

Where is Yan Zhuang and Yan Ge old?

It's even more impossible!

You must know that Mr. Yan Ge is the number one scholar!

Back then, he was a leader among the scholars, how could he do such a thing like picking up the bowl to eat, and smashing the rice bowl when he was full?

Mr. Yan Ge, these merchants are still familiar. Although they don't have much talent or anything, they are definitely worthy of the word "Ge Lao", whether it is ability or morality.

It is absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing.

I don't know how long I thought about it, how long I discussed it, and finally someone asked, "Could it be Xiao Ge who did it?"

This Xiaoge elder naturally refers to the only one among the four auxiliary ministers who is not an elder—Xin'an Hou Fangxiu!

As soon as these words came out, the entire Chunfeng Building fell into silence.

Immediately there was a loud noise.

"Needless to say! It must be Elder Xiaoge, besides him, who else can do such a thing!?"

"Could it be that Mr. Xiaoge lost his mind and made another mistake? Fortunately, this time, he made such a big mistake!"

"Crazy? Do you still believe that that bastard Fang Xiu is crazy? He's just a crazy thing! Thinking about it, he never cares about other people's life or death, as long as he is happy!

As long as he is happy, he can do anything! "

"You can't say that, Mr. Xiaoge has done a lot of good things."

"Don't tell me, this matter is very likely to be organized by Xin'an Hou. Have you forgotten? Zhuxuanzhai is behind this newspaper!

What is behind Zhuxuanzhai?It's Fangfu!This is a well-known fact. The headlines on the front page of Zhuxuanzhai's newspaper, three times out of ten are about the emperor's affairs, three times are about the court affairs, one is about the people's affairs, or about civil and military officials, and the remaining three times are about the affairs of the emperor. It's about Xin'anhou!

And it is an extremely praiseworthy word, and there has never been a bad word.

That is my son, who used to hate Xin Anhou very much. Since he subscribed to the Zhuxuanzhai newspaper, he has been full of praise for Xin Anhou. You say this...

Yes!It must be Xin Anhou! "

"But... Mr. Xiaoge doesn't need to do such a thing.

Don't you forget that in the provincial examination in Gyeonggi last year, the elder Xiaoge was Jie Yuan. If he continued the imperial examination, no accident, he would be able to win a Jinshi no matter what.

If this year's Jiangnan talented scholars do not perform well, even the top three may not be an impossible thing.

It's hard to say whether Mr. Xiaoge has lost his mind, but everyone can see Mr. Xiaoge's talent. "

"Otherwise, he is a crazy guy, this guy never talks about why he does things.

And this change in the imperial examination happened without any reason, isn't this just right! "

"Wait!"

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically, when suddenly someone thought of something, raised his eyes to look at everyone, and said slowly: "The imperial examination has changed from being held every four years to once a year, and the number of people has decreased. Is the competition as good as it used to be?" Is it intense?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and said, "That's natural! Don't even think about it, those who fail the exam will naturally pass the exam every year until they know they pass!"

"It makes sense. There is another question. The imperial examination is so detailed, so... how many people can pass this subject?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.

Everyone thought of a question.

Only Mingsuan can enter the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry.

As for the way of arithmetic, obviously nowadays, not many people learn it.

what does this mean?

If this matter is really confirmed!

Wouldn't the person who is proficient in arithmetic make a lot of money!

Even if you can't get into the Ministry of Household Affairs, it's good to be able to get a position in the Ministry of Industry!

You must know that the content of the entrance examination for the Ministry of Rites is no different from that of the Jinshi section. Today's scholars, those who have studied hard for more than ten years, and those who have failed in the past, must be shocking. You can go to the three subjects of Mingwen, Mingyi, and Jinshi!

Isn't it true that there are very few people who know how to count from the registration stage?

And there is a clear law...

Although the Criminal Department is not as good as the other five, it is still one of the six!

If he can become the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he will be able to honor his ancestors!

If you are lucky, joining the cabinet may not be impossible!

There are probably fewer people who understand the law than those who understand the calculation!

Thinking of this, the diners in Chunfeng Building looked at each other in blank dismay.
