Crown Tang emperor

However, how can this kind of gambling game, which is popular among the upper and lower classes, be banned. Once heavy taxes are imposed, it may directly affect the order of the market.Therefore, the imperial court also adopted a compromise measure. Anyone related to the gambling industry in Beijing must go to a company to apply for a business license within a limited time.If officials and officials and students are involved in it, the crime will be added to the crime.

This not only ensures that there is room for related entertainment games, but also allows people to enjoy themselves without losing control, indulge in them and ruin their homes and businesses.However, it is not easy to supervise this kind of thing. Although the Taifu has handled several cases, it still fails to establish a sufficient warning effect. Most of the time, this regulation is still in name only.

Of course, whether the regulations are serious or not depends on who the enforcers are after all.Right now, Wu Youyi, the young minister of the Taifu, is present in person, even the royal relatives don't want to escape easily, that's why the small garden is so chaotic, no one wants to fall into Wu Youyi's hands.

"Duke Pingyang was called by you?"

Pei Guangting was also a little flustered at the moment, staring at Pei Yaoqing and asking.But Pei Yaoqing ignored him at all, just looked at the people in Yingyuan who were busy cleaning up the situation and clapped their hands and laughed. Now, counting the gambling money carefully, how many people can escape?"

Regarding Pei Yaoqing's behavior of throwing himself into the water to take revenge on the people in Yingyuan, Pei Guangting was unable to complain, and just stomped his feet and growled: "My two generals are still in the cage. If we are trapped in the garden, we No one can escape!"

While talking, the bearded Xiao Song had already brought out a cauldron stove from the hall and placed it in the court, shouting again and again: "Light up the fire and pluck the hairs, let's cook chicken soup, and the Duke of Pingyang will share a bowl with him!"

At this time, Pei Yaoqing looked at Pei Guangting and said with a smile: "Did you hear that? Chicken or life?"

When Pei Guangting heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. In order to transport the two great generals, his wife left them at home. It can be seen that he is spoiled, how could he bear to do it!

At the same time, Wu Youyi's voice also sounded outside the garden: "Seal the surrounding area, no one is allowed to escape! Check your belongings, all the wealth left behind is gambling money!"

Hearing this shout, Pei Guangting couldn't help but feel even more desperate. Turning his eyes, he raised his legs and ran towards the door, while shouting, "I want to see Duke Pingyang, and I want to make a contribution to the crime!"

"The traitors in the Jiyingguan are the most unjust!"

Hearing Pei Guangting's words, Xiao Song, who was lying under the tripod and hurriedly starting a fire, raised his head and scolded angrily, the splashed sparks stained his beard without realizing it.

Chapter 0841 The prosperous age is flashy, ready to go

Among the Qujiang gatherings of the Shangsi Festival, the most eye-catching and talked about is the flower-exploring banquet held among the Xinke electors.

It's just that since the imperial center was resident in Luoyang, the eastern capital in the early years, it was naturally difficult to hold the banquet related to the imperial examination in Chang'an, which made the Qujiang gathering a little deserted.It wasn't until today's sages came to rule Chang'an, coupled with the eyeballs of the Oiran Opera, that Qujiang Pond and the surrounding area became lively again.

This year, the imperial court finally returned to Chang'an, and even the Flower Exploration Banquet was organized by the government, which made this year's Qujiang rally even more lively than previous years.

In fact, the original flower-exploring banquet was not a banquet exclusively for Xinke candidates, but for the frustrated people who got together to express their feelings about hardships, express their love for the mountains and rivers, and chat for comfort, so the banquet was simple and did not attract much attention.

Naturally, this banquet does not have the elegant name of Flower Exploration Banquet, it is only called Qujiangguan Banquet, so naturally there are no procedures such as Exploring Flowers in Gardens and Titles of Wild Goose Pagodas.

During the reign of Zhenguan, especially in the later period of Zhenguan, the national power was booming, the folk customs became more and more cheerful, and various opera and music projects gradually came into being.The Qujiang Guanyan, where the frustrated people comforted each other, was exclusively occupied by those newly elected people who were full of ambitions.There even appeared in Chang'an City, the Guanyan Club, which was responsible for organizing such banquets, and raised money from Xinke candidates to hold banquets in order to make profits, and the scale became more and more grand.

Since it was a banquet spontaneously organized by the new recruits, the original Huahua Banquet should pay more attention to entertainment, or to show off one's pride to Shiliu, so the sense of ceremony is not strong.

Usually, the place where the banquet is held is between several gardens located on the west side of Qujiang Pool. This place is very prosperous and very close to the Royal Garden’s Hanyu Garden. It can be said that it is the most advantageous golden location around Qujiang Pool. one.

However, since the imperial court personally supervised the banquet this year, the old venue naturally no longer needs to be used, and the venue of the banquet was directly transferred to the vicinity of the water hall near the water in Hanyu Garden.However, the old banquet venue did not become deserted and no one cared about it. On the contrary, there were so many competitors that the government had to come forward to coordinate and distribute it to the Shiliu family.

In the morning, the people gathered near Qujiang Pond had already started to play and have fun, but some places nearby were still busy with preparations, that is, the dancers and musicians in Pingkangfang.

Unlike ordinary people, whether entertaining others or themselves, most of them have their own way.People in Fengyue are involuntary, no matter how sad or happy, interesting or interesting, they always have a smiling face to greet others.When others are celebrating the festive season, they have to prepare nervously, and fame and fortune will come from this.

Although the play has not officially started yet, various competitions inside and outside the arena have already started.The most intuitive manifestation of this is the location and layout of the respective venues.

Pingkangfang, as a scenic spot in Gyeonggi, has dozens of households with outstanding performances and reputations, but not all of them can participate in today's grand event.

Although the area around Qujiang Pond is vast, there is not much free land today because scholars and people flock here.If you want to occupy a good location, it is also very difficult for everyone participating in the conference to watch and appreciate the excellent performances of their own actors.

Some theaters think that they do not have that kind of power and talent. Instead of setting up a stage far away from the crowd and no one cares about it, it is better to be close to some powerful halls and use the same stage for performances.Of course, some actors and prostitutes were booked and invited by wealthy families early to perform special performances in their tents.

Therefore, there are only seven or eight theaters that can really set up a stage near Qujiang Pond.

Although there are not many stages in these theaters, they are all exquisitely and gorgeously arranged, which is amazing.Among them, the most luxurious and attracting the most current attention is a stage located on the west bank of Qujiang Pool, just one step away from Xingyuan.

First of all, this location is excellent, it is the former site where the folk flower banquet was held in the early years, and it was here that caused a lot of competition in the early days.If you can occupy this place, even if the stage set up and the song and dance performances prepared are not moving enough, it will still attract a lot of time to watch, which is hard to ignore.

Not to mention, the stage itself was set up extremely wonderfully, and it did not disgrace the excellent location where it was located.The stage covers a large area. Apart from one huge stage, there are five smaller stages around it, each of which is decorated with brightly colored satin and brocade mats. Looking from a distance, it looks like a spring flower. A huge lotus in full bloom.

In addition to the basic brocade decoration, there are also various exquisite utensils displayed on the stage, such as gold and jade screens, colorful bead curtains, and coral trees full of tributes such as azure and sesel, etc. , making the whole stage bejeweled and shining.

Although the other stages are not lacking in ingenious and exquisite arrangements, but in terms of luxury and style, they are really inferior to this one.The Fengyuechang is originally a gold-selling cave, and the glitz and beauty are most admired.In this point alone, this stage has surpassed many others.

Therefore, although the performance has not officially started yet, the stage is already full of good people, clamoring and looking forward to the next performance.

Behind the stage, a tall tent is erected, and inside the tent is the place where actors rest and prepare for performances.At this time, Princess Taiping was dressed in robes and dressed as a man, standing in the tent, looking at the actors with a serious expression.

"Today's grand event, attracting the attention of the government and the public, is an excellent opportunity for sex art to become famous. Now that the Huatai is set up and the beautiful diction is ready, the rest is up to you to play. Although the two Beijings and the places are different, the interest of the masses Appreciation is nothing more than a few old skills. Since it was able to amaze Dongdu in the past, there is no reason to be behind others now!"

Speaking of this, Princess Taiping's expression became more dignified, and after taking a deep breath, she continued: "I will not hide it from you, for today's joke, I have paid more than you can imagine! So, no matter the story How about friendship, if someone makes a mistake today and harms me, then the relationship between master and servant ends here, and I will punish her severely for the crime of burdening me!"

All the performers present were awe-inspiring when they heard this, and they all nodded in response.

There is no need for Princess Taiping to remind and warn them. They also know that during this period of time, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been exhausted for today's affairs. Individuals with outstanding talents are involved in their daily diet and daily life, just worrying about any accidents that may affect their performance.

Not to mention the new poems and new songs that Princess Taiping visited and taught to them are all top choices. Even yesterday, she visited several pieces and taught them to practice overnight.Even if these actors are not very poetic, they can still judge after being happy for a long time, knowing that once these lyrics come out, they will surely amaze people and be sung endlessly.

Although Princess Taiping is essentially pursuing her own interests in doing these things, these actors also understand that if they can take this opportunity to become famous and be favored, their own situation will also be greatly improved.

Therefore, even though Princess Taiping threatened them very much and demanded very high, they didn't have any resentment, they just prepared with all their heart, so that they must show their best side when they go on stage later.

Although the attitudes of the actors are extremely correct, Princess Taiping still refuses to relax, checking all kinds of affairs carefully, even if some minor negligence happens to the actors occasionally, she will not let it go, and she will be a stern reprimand without giving anyone any attention. Show no mercy.

The reason is also very simple, as she herself said, she has paid too much for today's grand event, so much that if the effect is not as expected, even she will be in trouble.

Shangguan Wan'er also made men's costumes and helped Princess Taiping arrange some details.This is not Princess Taiping's request, it's purely because she feels a little sorry and wants to help a little within her power.

Seeing Princess Taiping so nervous and anxious at this moment, Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward to comfort her and said: "When things come to an end, you have to go through it once. Whether the result is good or bad, you will know later. Why do you bother to be so embarrassing beforehand?" yourself, embarrassing others?"

"Why did I do this, don't you know? Thanks to your family, Li Xueshi, if this happens... Bah, bah! Anyway, this time, I am only allowed to succeed and not allowed to fail, and I will never be underestimated or ridiculed!"

When Princess Taiping spoke up to this point, she already had a face full of fighting spirit, cheering herself up.Although the nasty Li Tong lion opened his mouth and was so angry that Princess Taiping would curse endlessly in her sleep, but in all fairness, the money spent this time is not bad.

Not to mention the few new speeches that Li Tong handed over to her, she knew at a glance that they must be masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. The convenience door opened elsewhere also made it easier for Princess Taiping to prepare.For example, this local bustling theater, as well as the luxurious decorations on and off the stage, including some stage scenes, Li Tong also gave a lot of suggestions.

Princess Taiping still attached great importance to Li Tong's opinion.This kid is really talented in this aspect. My grandmother is such a shrewd person. The starting point for falling into this kid's hands is the "Vientiane" Daqu.

From these aspects, the price is worth the money.The only regret is that the kid didn't see the rabbit and didn't show the eagle, and he only explained the relevant matters before the event, so that she didn't have more time to prepare, so it was inevitable that she would worry about gains and losses, otherwise there would be no need to be so nervous.

"Then you really won't enter Han's garden later?"

Shangguan Wan'er saw that Princess Taiping was still in a bad mood, so she stopped trying to comfort her and just asked again.

"How can I have time? Besides, I don't like to see him, you just go, don't bother me!"

After hearing the words, Princess Taiping waved her hands and said impatiently, pointing to a young eunuch in Tsing Yi who was guarding a pile of utensils outside and said: "Enter the garden later, you take that little eunuch away, I just borrowed I bought some artifacts in the inner library, is it worth his guarding against thieves? If something happens later, I’m worried that I can’t help but beat him to death!”

Shangguan Wan'er was even more delighted when she heard the words, she turned around and walked towards the little eunuch, bowed her head and said, "You lead me into the garden later, so you don't have to stay here for a long time. Your Highness, the Princess, has her own account of what to do, so why do you servants stare at me?" supervision."

The little eunuch Gao Lishi shook his head after hearing the words, and said with a firm face: "Guiding matters are up to the caller. I have been ordered to guard the artifacts in the inner treasury, and not an inch or a corner of what comes out of the inner treasury can be lost! That thief Slave, be gentle with your hands and feet, don't scratch the paint!"

While speaking, Gao Lishi jumped a foot high, and no longer cared about talking to Shangguan Wan'er, he pointed at a servant of the princess's house who was carrying utensils, and reprimanded him.

Chapter 0842 Sheng Gong Yongjian, enjoy this country forever

In the morning, the royal guard of honor finally arrived at Hanyu Garden slowly.Inside and outside the Imperial Garden, there have been internal guards guarding the streets for a long time. In addition to the princes and nobles who entered the inner garden to serve the banquet and the courtiers lined up to greet them, even the Xinke Selectors who were one of the protagonists of the banquet were in the Imperial Garden. Gather elsewhere in the country to be called.

After ascending the throne, Li Tong had a rare chance to travel with his family. This time, he took advantage of this festive season to bring all his family members with him. As for the young children who were still in their infancy, they stayed in the big house to feed and sleep in peace. Enough.

After arriving at the gate of the Hanyu Garden to receive the ceremony from the officials, Li Tong got off the chariot and rode on a horse, and continued to escort and guide the Empress Dowager, Fang Taifei, and queen concubines into the imperial garden.

Hanyu Garden is adjacent to the Qujiang River in the south, and has a garden area of ​​nearly one square to the north. Since Li Tong came to rule Chang'an, he has not spared time to invest in manpower for further construction, so there are only some inherent buildings and halls in the garden. Besides, there are many vacant places left.Even though thousands of people entered the garden, including the officials and guards, as well as the courtiers and family members, the scene did not appear cramped.

Since there are not many palaces for a short rest, many curtain tents were also erected on the open space in the garden.When he arrived at the imperial tent, Li Tong dismounted first, walked to the side of the Empress Dowager's chariot, helped the Empress Dowager down with his own hands, and said not without apology: "Since returning to Beijing, I have used all my strength and frugality. It's really ashamed to drink the wind and get dusty!"

After returning to Beijing, the Empress Dowager lived in secluded places. This was the first time she went out of the Daming Palace. Although her head was full of silver hair, she looked older, but her spirit was still quite hale and hearty. Especially after entering the garden, her expression was much more cheerful. , even the wrinkles at the corners of the forehead and mouth stretched out.

Hearing what the sage said, the Empress Dowager smiled, raised her hand and patted Li Tong on the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "The scenery is not called magnificent, and the residence is not called luxurious, but if someone can appreciate it, it is a kindness in the world. Live up to the spring breeze. The emperor has lofty ambitions and disdains to waste people in trivial entertainment. This is the country's fortune. What shame is there? Your grandmother has traveled a long way, what kind of flashy and gaudy has she never seen? I am the only one Sun Dexing is simple and honest, the most comforting old man!"

One's circumstances can really change one's personality, and Li Tong couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he heard Wu Zetian's contented tone.

Originally, in history, his grandma's life was a complete mystery of power, and she never woke up when she was old.In addition to his own obsession with power, the enjoyment of material desires has not weakened with age.Fortunately, the first thing to do in each place is to build a palace, such as the famous Songshan Palace Sanyang Palace in later generations, which was built at this age.

Regardless of whether the current Wu Zetian is subdued under the fence or has such thoughts in his heart, Li Tong was very pleased to hear these words, so he solemnly said to his grandmother: "Advocating frugality is not an excuse to neglect your parents." In the past, major events were carried out at the same time, and there was little spare time inside and outside to focus on the construction. This spring, I have been very calm, and I have ordered the construction departments to survey the site and prepare materials, and build the Longevity Palace for my grandmother in the eastern mainland. able to live for a long time.”

"It's not necessary, it's not necessary... You need to do what you can, and you don't have to pretend to be extravagant!"

When Wu Zetian heard this, the smile on his face became brighter.As for the joy in her heart, it is not purely because there will be a new palace to live in. After all, as she herself said, what hasn't been enjoyed in this life?All kinds of majestic and magnificent buildings in Luoyang, the eastern capital, were all created under her rule.

What made her feel even more gratified was the respect and care shown by the emperor to her.Although the words "Only Love Lives Me" caused her to fall into the most painful somersault in her life, but if she regrets it again, she will only torture herself.

Although the emperor's words and deeds were contradictory before he gained power, but now when he is monopolizing power, he can actually practice his words. Let Wu Zetian feel great comfort.As for the splendor of the palace building, it is second.

Li Tong first sent the Empress Dowager into the imperial tent, and then the concubine, the empress and others also entered in turn. After a short rest here, Li Tong got up and went to the south of the imperial garden, leaving behind this imperial tent. The tents are for the wives from outside to pay homage and greetings.

Today, the most large-scale and magnificent garden is the Water Hall near Qujiang Pond.This palace is built near the water, and half of it extends into the water.

When Li Tong came here, Li Guangshun, the elder brother who rushed to the arrangement first, had already arranged everything properly. In addition to the decoration of the palace itself, he also created a high viewing point between the pavilions on the water. On the stage, when the emperor stepped on the stage, he could see the lively scene of the people playing and playing on the opposite side of the Qujiang River in the south.

When the emperor arrived, all the musicians in the Yunshao Mansion in the Neijiaofang, which had already been properly arranged here, immediately began to ring bells and drums and play music to welcome them.And after hearing the sound of rites and music, all kinds of welcome singing sounded from various places inside and outside the imperial garden. Although the sounds were chaotic and disorderly, they merged into a torrent of sound waves, shaking the willow branches beside the embankment. Trembling, the birds dare not perch on the branches.

Amidst the shouts of the mountains, Li Tongkuo walked up to the hall.At the same time, the princes, nobles, courtiers and worship officials also filed in, kowtowed and offered gifts in the hall again.

At the court meeting before the festival, all the ministers received gifts, and the emperor and ministers also paid attention to reciprocity, so of course you can't come empty-handed to celebrate the festival today.However, compared to the high value and full benefits of gifts from the court, the gifts presented by the officials were a bit flashy, nothing more than a few bunches of orchid cattails, so soon Li Tong was surrounded by various herbs. group.

Although these herbs smell fragrant and elegant in a single bunch, but when so many are gathered in a pile, the smell becomes a bit pungent. Li Tong sneezed several times because of this, and seriously suspected that these herbs might be from nearby Qushui Picked by the river.

And when he covered his nose and sneezed, it happened that the old minister Wang Jishan came forward to offer a congratulatory speech and presents. After hearing the sound of sneezing, Wang Jishan burst into smiles, bowed again, danced with his hands and feet, and sang happily: "Fang Lan Exorcising the evil, smoothing the Qi and strengthening the spirit, I congratulate Sheng Gong for being brave and healthy, and enjoy this country for a long time!"

Li Tong hasn't finished complaining about the old man's drama, and was thinking about whether to bury him in this pile of herbs to get rid of his illness. The other officials also heard the sound and danced to join in the fun: " Congratulations to Shenggong Yongjian, enjoy this country forever!"

Seeing that everyone was so supportive, Li Tong simply stood up from the table, jumped out of the pile of vanilla, tap danced with the officials in the hall, and said with a smile: "Heaven's blessing, share it with you. Worshiping and cultivating gods, the auspiciousness will be auspicious, and you will be able to enjoy yourself..."

With such dance steps and such libretto, shame is really shameful, but if you don't do it, you don't seem to be gregarious enough.So Li Tong just pressed the shyness in his heart, and danced non-stop after the old Wang Jishan who loves to add drama.

Seeing that the saint was very interested and full of favor, although Wang Jishan was sweating on his forehead, he could only bite the bullet and continue jumping. In the end, his pair of old legs could not lift up, so he could only rub against the carpet. Only then did Li Tong stop with a little satisfaction, and signaled the middle officer to bring Wang Jishan back to the class and sit down, and he himself returned to sit down quite complacently.

Look at your little face, you dare to fight and dance with Lao Tzu, you don't know how awesome your Patriarch is, and you won't die from exhaustion!

After the congratulations by the officials, it was noon.After all, a group of old people is not as youthful and cheerful as the newly elected people, so Li Tong also raised his hand and summoned the courtiers to summon the newly selected people who had been waiting for a long time.

However, when the courtiers entered the front, Li Tong realized that the expressions and behaviors of the few people in the Jiying Pavilion were a little uncomfortable. They looked around in the hall, looking frizzy and restless, as if they had never seen the world Lengtouqing.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong was naturally a little displeased. The Jiyingguan is his confidant team, and he plans to let these guys give a sample to the new recruits, so that he can continue to select backups from these new recruits in the future strength.But now, everyone's demeanor is not cultivated, and people can't think of respect at a glance, which is really inappropriate.

Today was not a formal gathering, and there was no need to pay too much attention to the rules of the court, so Li Tong raised his finger at the banquet and pointed to Pei Guangting and the others in the hall, signaling them to come in and reprimand and warn them.

Pei Guangting and the others had no choice but to be seen. Just now when the officials were fighting and dancing, they were hidden behind the pillars and dared not go forward, but they were still noticed by the saint. They couldn't help but sigh for a while, so they shrank their heads and planned He passed vaguely, but from the corner of his vision, he caught sight of the sage about to get up, so he hurriedly got up and walked forward, bypassing the screen of the main hall, approached the imperial seat from the side, bowed down before entering, and respectfully said: "What orders does the sage have? "

"You... look up, don't move, what's going on?"

Li Tong was about to reprimand him, but found that the corners of Pei Guangting's eyes were black and blue. Although there were a few bright red pomegranate flowers on the temples, they still couldn't hide it, so he frowned and asked in a low voice.Already had a faint suspicion in his heart whether these guys were beaten up by their parents because of their youth and high status, molesting Qu Jiangpan's little girl.

"No, nothing..."

Pei Guangting was still waiting to prevaricate, and then he heard the sage snort coldly, and then he faltered and said: "A group of people in Yingyuan insult people with their bravery, and the members of the museum and I have experienced old punches, and Duke Pingyang was not able to stop him when he was present. ..."

"There is such a thing? The whole story, tell the truth!"

After hearing the words, Li Tong frowned and shouted coldly, until Pei Guangting told the whole story intermittently, then he couldn't help but scolded: "Yes! Where is Yaoqing?"

"Xiao and others tried their best to trap Yaoqing, claiming that he was involved in organizing the bureau, and he has been sent to the Tuiyuan together. Ministers and other positions are enshrined, and they dare not have any vacancies. They can only obey the law after the banquet..."

Hearing that Pei Yaoqing was locked up with Xiao Song and the others, Li Tong was overjoyed again, and after a while, he said again: "Someone go to the courtyard to inform, try not to lose your appearance." lesson.

The Qingyue bell rang, and as the Zhongguan sang the salute, the newly elected people had already arrived outside the Water Palace. Li Tong glanced at Pei Guangting and the others again, waved his hands in disgust and said, "Go away, go to the back garden to guide the inside and outside. Order the wife to go to the palace to watch the play."

Chapter 0843 Spring is proud, exploring the garden

On the square outside the Water Palace in Hanyu Garden, candidates from various new disciplines had already gathered here. Since the three disciplines had expanded selections this year, the scale was quite large, with a total of 500 candidates.

Among them, the Mingshu and Mingshu subjects and the first selection have the most candidates, with more than 300 people and nearly 400 people.This was unimaginable in previous years. Even since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the sum of candidates who have passed the examinations over the years may not be able to reach this number.

As for the two main subjects of Mingjing and Jinshi, there are more than 30 scholars in the Mingjing department, and nearly a hundred scholars in the Jinshi department.The sum of the two subjects is not as good as Mingshu and Mingshu.

Rare things are precious, so are talents.Therefore, although there are a large number of candidates for academic subjects, the selection team still ranks at the top of the two subjects of Mingjing and Jinshi.Although the Jinshi Department is the dominant imperial examination in later generations, the Mingjing Department's status is not low at present.Even the Ming Jing Ke and the first selected person's newly awarded ranks are one level higher than the Jinshi Ke. After all, the governance of the past dynasties was based on classics, and famous officials such as Di Renjie were mostly from Ming Jing.

However, it is not without reason that the Jinshi department can grow stronger. The difficulty of the examination itself is not low, especially after adding examination content such as test strategies and poems, the difficulty has risen to a higher level.And although Jinshi's initial conferment is not high, the pace of progress is faster.

After the imperial examinations are selected, it is usually necessary to enter the election period of several years before they can participate in the election of the Ministry of officials.Among them, the Mingjing is seven to nine years, and the surgery is longer, and some even reach ten years, almost as long as the children's department.

As for the Jinshi Department, usually only two to three years are left for the election. If there is a general election year with a lot of internal and external vacancies, this cycle will be shortened.Therefore, although it is often said that there are thirty old Mingjing and fifty young Jinshi, as long as the Jinshi gets the rank, it can be said that it has won the starting line of the official career and can be dismissed as an official faster, so the Jinshi Department has been sought after by the scholars. .

However, the situation is different this year. Candidates for the three disciplines directly skipped the selection period, and can participate in the winter selection this autumn.Although the rank of the award is definitely not high, there is no need to wait for a long time, which is also very attractive to those who are behind the times.

What's more, the national situation has changed frequently in recent years. Although the turbulence of the current situation has brought many dangers, there are also many opportunities.For example, last year's Yasukuni period, which lasted for more than half a year, was a highlight in the resumes of officials. Having this qualification in the seniority resume is enough to make up for the lack of initial background.

Of course, the vast majority of people do not hope to encounter that kind of disaster year again, but even if it is not the special period of crisis coexistence, now that the political situation is back on track, many internal and external problems still need to be resolved urgently.There is absolutely no shortage of opportunities to make radical achievements, so no matter which subjects the candidates present are successful in, they are also full of imagination about their future careers.

Since the difficulty of the examination is not the same, the difficulty is high or low, so the gold content is naturally different.In previous years, the flower-exploring banquet was the home field of the new scholars. They didn't even look down on those who had mastered the scriptures, and they would not bring them to play together. They were not in the same world as each other.

But since the imperial court is organizing a grand ceremony this year, they naturally don't care about the petty and arrogant emotions of those new scholars.For the big men who are really standing in the court, regardless of Jinshi, Mingjing, or the selection of candidates in the arts, they are all cucumber eggs. Even if they are the top of the list, it will take decades of ups and downs to find out the truth. It is a dragon or a worm, there is no need to treat them differently.

Of course, there are still preferential treatment for these voters today.All the selected people are wearing brand-new light scarlet robes, which is the color that officials can only wear when they reach the sixth rank. Some embroidered articles.

Even so, these new recruits are dressed in red robes, with a pomegranate flower on their heads, and they all look as energetic as oily prawns.
