Liu Xin and his entourage arrived in Heilan City and began to prepare to participate in the township test for the renewal of the list.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, the continuation of the list began, and Liu Xin went to participate smoothly.

When he entered the examination room, he couldn't help but be surprised, this time the chief examiner of Canghai Mansion turned out to be a woman, but he didn't care about it and continued to do the questions.

After the three exams, Liu Xin received a letter, which read: "Jun has the talent to slaughter and assist, but the court is now not employing people, and after three years, come to Dabi again." ”

After Liu Xin handed the letter to Wei Sisi, he said to Wei Sisi: "It seems that now that the list is renewed, it will not be successful." ”

"Huh? Don't know who this person is? Wei Sisi looked at the letter and said to Liu Xin: "If there is something in the court, then you don't have to go to join in the fun, anyway, you are still young, and if you wait for three years, it will be nothing." ”

Liu Xin thought for a while, and said to Wei Sisi: "It's not easy to live now, I see if I can find a family to study while being in the west." ”

Wei Sisi nodded, Liu Xin waited until the list came out, and saw that he was really not in the picture (the name of the Yu Dynasty will test the list is not written vertically in turn, but in circles, and fifty names in a circle are called a picture. So I didn't care.

He thought about it, and the acquaintances he knew in Hailan City were the people from those bookstores, so he went to the bookstore.

When the bookstore owner saw him coming, he warmly received Liu Xin and said to Liu Xin: "Liu Xianggong, you sit." At the beginning, I asked people to be a matchmaker to match you and the little girl, but you didn't want to, and I didn't care, this is your fate, and then I heard that you and the young lady of the Wei family had a Wending ceremony, and I knew that this person really had his own fate. However, Liu Xianggong, why are you so down. ”

"I came here to participate in the renewal of the course, but Zhu Yi didn't nod, so he was nameless in the picture. Now I have rented a house in the Youth Adjustment Workshop. ”

"This rent always costs money, and I still have an empty house, not far from here, at the corner of the street, which is a good place to live. Now that it's empty, it's empty, so it's better for you to move in as a family and take care of each other. ”

When Liu Xin heard this, he thought for a while, and said to the bookstore owner: "Since this is the case, Xiaosheng thinks that it is better to open a bookstore." In this way, one can study the reading sentences, and the other can make a living. ”

The owner of the bookstore smiled and said to Liu Xin: "Okay, that's fine, I'll print it here, and you will sell it here, this is called fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, and we can make money for both of us." ”

Talking about the bookstore owner, he picked up an abacus, dialed it carefully, and then said to Liu Xin: "I roughly calculated, there are five or six taels of silver that can be entered this year, although the money is not much, but it is much easier than farming." ”

"It's just that I don't have the money to open it now." Liu Xin said what he was embarrassed about, and the bookstore owner smiled and said to Liu Xin: "That's it, I have all the money in the bookstore, and how much money I used will be recorded in my account, and when Liu Xianggong is developed, then I will pay it back when the time comes." ”

"This, this, it's really a good old man."

"What is the work, you and I don't need to be so polite, when the time comes, I hope that Liu Xianggong is in high school, don't forget that I am, if you can, my family is a small one, and there is nothing to do."

Liu Xin's face was red to his ears, and he said to the bookstore owner: "How can this work, how can this work." ”

"Haha, Lao Yu and Liu Xianggong are joking, when the time comes, Liu Xianggong can let your protégé."

When Liu Xin saw the owner of the bookstore say this, he didn't dare to agree rashly, but just said that he tried his best.

Liu Xin left here and returned to his residence, and the landlord Li Bo said to Liu Xin: "Liu Xianggong, there are three rooms in total, two of them are fine, one of them is leaking, you and your wife have already passed Wending, why don't you live in one room together." ”

"This is not in line with etiquette, let's live separately, this leak, I'll just wait and get it."

"Alas, you scholars are just very particular, but will you get it?"

"It's good to learn, this person is born, there is no will."

Liu Xin is busy with his new life here, and in the Qinzheng Palace, the fourth prince looked at the county lord of Jiangli and said to the county lord of Jiangli: "I heard that Liu Xin also participated in the big competition this time, with his talent, it seems that it is not difficult to take the test." ”

The county lord of Jiangli said to the four princes: "He can indeed be promoted, but the concubine did not admit him, and now the court does not need him." ”

"Huayu, I don't understand your words. He is a person from Jixian Academy, and the scholars all know that he is the successor of Wei Baiyun, and now that the imperial court needs him, why can't he be allowed to participate in the imperial examination? ”

"Your Majesty, at this time, the court has not yet stabilized, and the concubine is just worried that if he wins the move and takes the lead, but then he will be abolished by the court turmoil, isn't this a waste of talent?"

When the fourth prince heard this explanation, he said to the county lord of Jiangli: "Xunzi said that there is a rule of people, but there is no law, I have some experience these days, Huayu, you are a smart person, I will say it now, let you refer to one or two." ”

The county lord of Jiangli said that he didn't dare, and the fourth prince said again: "Xunzi's words are to say that people are the foundation of the law, and what kind of people there are will be any laws." This man is alive, and the law is dead, so the world must be governed by people, not by law, he is very right. Therefore, all dynasties have followed this path, and when it comes to our holy pilgrimage, there is no exception. However, I feel that this is not enough, I not only want to do this, but also go further, there is a rule of people, that is, there is a rule of law. Winning souls in politics is good government. Winning people by enforcing the law is a good law. If there are no good people to enforce it, then the government will also deteriorate and the law will be lax. ”

The county lord of Jiangli nodded, admitting that what the fourth prince said was right.

"That's why I need talent now, and this talent, I don't suffer from many, but from unevenness. I don't suffer from its origin, but I don't know it. This is whether it is from a lowly background, or after the gentry. Whether it is the south or the north, I treat everyone equally, and only use it. When today's court, today's ministers, how to say. ”

When the four princes said this, they knocked their heads, as if they were thinking about something.

Seeing this situation, the county lord of Jiangli recited a sentence and said: "The conscience is all benefactors, and it is only a matter of who is the best in the world." ”

The fourth prince nodded, and said to the county lord of Jiangli: "Yes, yes, I don't want to just hope that in the future, in the construction of the Pole Palace, there will be no unpaid benefactor, and I will be able to help the world." ”

The county lord Jiang Li thought to himself, he was worried that this was the situation, and now if the imperial court wants to be ten hundred talents, then there will be a big change, so that the hundred officials will have grievances and will unite with other princes to resist, and when the time comes, no matter who wins and who loses, there will be a river of blood in the Jianji Palace.

She wasn't afraid of bloodshed, but she had to avoid it.

So she said to the four princes: "Now this matter, let's take our time, and wait until the princes are at ease, the world is peaceful, and the saints can open Enke again, in addition to the imperial examination, they can also be selected among the students." At that time, the reward should be no mediocre guest, and the world will have its own talents. ”

The county lord of Jiangli implicitly told him that these benefactors could not all be replaced, and if there were capable nobles among them, they would naturally stay.

The fourth prince was a little impatient, and said to the county lord of Jiangli: "This matter, the sooner I want to do it, the better." ”

"Sage, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, let's take it step by step, I don't know if I want to let the eldest sister go to the invigilation next year?"

"I'm going to let Yaodi go with me, I don't know what you think, Huayu?"

"It's okay for Yaodi to go, if Yaodi is the main exam, I'm afraid it will make the Nanbang candidates gossip."

The fourth prince thought for a while, and said to the county lord of Jiangli: "Then it's still Concubine Wen who will take the exam." ”

The county lord of Jiangli nodded, this Yu Chaochun is divided into two lists, the north list and the south list, as for why, it is also because of the product of the second concubine's regency.

Before there was no list, because the hundred officials of the Yu Dynasty were all from southern families, so every time the list was opened, they were basically southerners, which would naturally cause dissatisfaction in the north, and with the help of the Empress Dowager Xiaowen, the northern scholars did not participate in the imperial examination, and they would not be admitted anyway, so they simply did not participate.

This incident made a big fuss, and it was difficult for southern officials to step down, after all, at that time, the south only referred to the four prefectures of Hezuo.

In the end, it can only be divided, and the north and south are all eleven prefectures, and everyone has equal opportunities.

But having said that, Nanbang still opened the back door, and those admitted by Nanbang checked the three generations, all of which were meritorious to the Yu Dynasty.

This led to the fact that many nobles who were originally in the northern list did everything possible to go to the southern capital to participate in the southern list, and the cold scholars from the various provinces in the southern list thought of a way to go to the northern list.

When Emperor Wen was in power, he didn't care about the imperial examination, so Emperor Wen didn't pay attention to this issue.

Now that the four princes attach importance to the imperial examination, they naturally have to find a way to deal with this problem, after all, if it goes on like this, why should the north and south lists be divided according to regions.

The purpose of him letting Yaodi go is to train Yaodi, second, to let Yaodi train his own team, and thirdly, to borrow Yaodi's hand to rectify the Nanbang.

Anyway, when the southern nobles objected, he prevaricated with Yaodi's ignorance.

Now that the county lord Jiang Li does not approve, the four princes have no choice but to take action for the time being, or Concubine Wen will go and do a good job in this subject.

The county lord Jiang Li suddenly thought of something, and said to the four princes: "Sage, after today, the concubines and the sage will not be able to meet. ”

The fourth prince also patted his forehead and said to the county lord of Jiangli: "I forgot, it's about to be the first month, I don't know if your sisters have arrived?" ”

"Everyone has arrived, sage, and I don't know what else you have to command."

"Nothing, you go first, if you have something to do, wait until after the wedding, and then talk about it." The fourth prince is not worried, anyway, there are not a few days.

Jiang Li County Lord said Wei, and then left here, when she walked out, she looked at the plaque of Qinzheng Pavilion, thinking that the next time she entered here, it would not be as Jiang Li's County Lord, but as Concubine Ya.
