Since Gao Yihuan became emperor, Chang'an City has been lively, and things for people to talk about are one after another.

Last year, people talked about the king of Wei as the emperor, and at the end of the year, they talked about the envoy coming to the court, and the atmosphere of the big reading at the beginning of the year did not pass, and the imperial examination was ushered in.

If you want to talk about the Great Wei War, it should be the most discussed thing by the people of the Great Wei, but the fact is that the people and scholars talk about the imperial examination the most, which is a matter related to their vital interests.

The imperial examination system is a great invention and innovation in Chinese history, of course, this needs to be viewed horizontally, not out of the times, to make a vertical comparison with the present, which is meaningless.

Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall.

Because of the emergence of the imperial examination system, a rural village man, because of his studies, can also enter the imperial court and worship the prime minister.

To a certain extent, the imperial examination system has realized the mobility of classes, so that people at the bottom can pass the reading examination, flow to the upper class, and change their fate.

In ancient times, there were not many upward passages at the bottom, and it was not easy to obtain military achievements, so reading became a single-plank bridge that people wanted to walk, and the imperial examination was pushed to a very high status, even if the college entrance examination is also a stepping stone that changes life.

The Son of Heaven is heroic, and the article teaches Ercao; Everything is inferior, but reading is high, which is the consensus of people.

In addition to the power of reading itself, the reason for forming this consensus is that the imperial examination has turned reading into an upward channel.

If the imperial examination does not test articles and changes to other things, people's consensus will definitely gradually change, and it will not just be "articles teach Ercao, everything is inferior, only reading is high." ”

Gao Yihuan improved the status of martial arts and added a craftsman test, in fact, it provided two upward channels, so that the people at the bottom had two more upward channels in addition to reading and doing articles.

Of course, martial arts existed before, and the main purpose of Gao Yihuan's reform of martial arts was to select more Confucian generals for the Great Wei.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the lessons of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms should be learned, the martial arts are the country, the world is bound to be chaotic, the military generals are not restrained, it is not good, and the Song and Ming Dynasty's use of literature to control the military is also unreliable.

In order to conform to the trend and the convergence of civil and military affairs, it is imperative that Confucian generals like Wang Shouren, Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting, who were born as scholars and knew soldiers, are undoubtedly more reliable than military generals like Wu Sangui.

In the future, most of the generals of the Great Wei Dynasty will be highly talented students who have graduated from the Imperial Martial Academy, and these people will receive Confucian education, and at the same time receive military training and learn the art of war, and they will gradually evolve into a modern imperial military academy.

As for the craftsman examination, it is to select craftsmen, in fact, it is to cultivate science talents.

Compared with a pure craftsman, Da Wei needs more people like Song Yingxing, who are literate and proficient in miscellaneous studies.

The craftsman exam is not only a test of the skills of the craftsman, but also a test of traditional Confucianism, as well as arithmetic, as well as miscellaneous studies translated from Xiyi.

At this time, the scholars of the three branches gathered in Chang'an, and the inns in the city were full, and even the temples and Taoist temples were occupied by scholars.

In addition to the fact that the three subjects were examined at the same time, the Wei army occupied Hebei and Shandong, the territory expanded, and the Nanming Dynasty did not take the examination at this age, and many Nanming scholars came to Dawei to try their luck is also the main reason.

So many people poured into the city, and the scholars who were in the examination were not bad for money, and their arrival made the business of restaurants, inns, and green buildings in the city booming, bringing a bumper harvest to the merchants, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the merchants were still relatively simple, and did not take the opportunity to rip off customers.

Of course, the main reason is that the people who come to catch the exam are all masters, and once they are in high school, they will be officials of Dawei in the future, and the merchants will not have the courage.

At this time, in a restaurant in the city, there were many people, inside and outside were all scholars who came to eat, because the three subjects were immediately tested together, so there were scholars from liberal arts, military science, and engineering.

Gao Yihuan sat on the second floor of the wine shop, leaning against the window, drinking while listening to the noisy sound in the wine shop.

"If you insult Sven and don't read the words of the sage, how can you take the imperial examination. The imperial court let the scholars go to participate in the military department, which is really insulting. I, Bai Yanfu, make a statement today, even if I fail the list, I will not go to the military examination. ”

"Brother Yanfu, dissipate your anger. In my opinion, there is no shame in taking the military examination, and if we are a soldier, we will be a general, and what about the class? Zhou Dian Zhou, the director of Zhou, a scholar, emulated Zhang Gong's feat of digging the Western Regions, and traveled thousands of miles west to reach the farthest of the extreme west, which is also what my generation should follow. ”

Gao Yihuan took a sip, listened to the voice that came, and couldn't help but nodded, "There are still people who understand me!" ”

At this time, the voice continued: "I think it's okay to participate in the military exam, but that craftsman exam is really insulting and should be resisted." ”

"Yes, yes! Those of my generation who read the books of the sages and sages, half of the treatise on the rule of the world, how can they take the exam with those who are addicted to strange skills and tricks! ”

Gao Yihuan almost squirted out a sip of wine, he glanced at the table of scholars, and saw that a few scholars in the corner were silent, it should be craftsmen who participated in the engineering course, they obviously heard the words of those people, but they were often looked down upon, so they could only continue to swallow their anger and dare not argue.

Gao Yihuan shook his head, and then he heard another table of martial artists, and the words of conversation came.

"Hmph, Brother Zhao, believe it or not, if Guisun didn't change his words just now, Lao Tzu would kill those poor sours when he went up."

Most of the martial artists at this table are from the army, and some are still the sons of lords, all of them are burly, and they exude a completely different momentum from Wen Juzi.

"Lao Xu, you dissipate your anger, just ignore them. I heard that the imperial court decreed that these poor acids can participate in our martial arts examination after the literary examination, is it true? ”

The surname Xu is Xu Shiwu, the second son of Xu Heihu, although he has a gift, but not the eldest son can not inherit Xu Heihu's title, if you want to have greater achievements, you have to work hard, so after two years of training in the army, you will enter the martial arts academy to study, this time preparing to take a martial arts exam, increase your qualifications.

Xu Shiwu said: "This matter is true, but you don't have to worry, Wen Tao's score only accounts for 30% of the total score, and the martial arts is mainly to test the military, and those poor and sour flag words can't be understood, so they will definitely not be able to test us." ”

"That being said, we're a little worried! Although we can also read and write, we are better than playing lip service, where is their opponent. ”

Xu Shiwu hurriedly lowered his voice, "Don't worry about this, I heard people say that Wen Tao's test is mainly based on actual combat examples, such as commanding an army to attack the city, or how to complete the espionage, and there are also big questions about playing lipsticks, and there are not many points to be accounted for." ”

When everyone heard him say this, they were a little relieved.

Gao Yihuan listened to the sound of discussion, and soon understood the views of all parties on the three subjects, most of the scholars of the liberal arts were dissatisfied with the reform, and Wu Juzi was worried that the scholars of the liberal arts took up their quota, and the engineering scholars benefited from this reform, obviously in favor, but they had been discriminated against for a long time and had no chance to express their opinions at all.

Gao Yihuan was listening, and Li Laiheng, who was dressed in disguise, walked up from downstairs, came to Gao Yihuan's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Gao Yihuan frowned, then stood up, and Chen Mingxia, who was at the same table, dropped a few copper dollars and left with him.

The Imperial City, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, has gathered many generals and soldiers, and they are talking about the situation in a whisper.

At this time, Gao Yihuan walked in and asked loudly, "What's the situation?" ”

A soldier greeted him and saluted: "Your Majesty, Sun Kewang has sent troops!" ”

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, Sun Kewang looked at this turtle grandson, and sure enough, he still fell to Nanming, Gao Yihuan's expression sank, "How many soldiers and horses did he send to attack Bashu!" ”

Joining the army saluted: "Your Majesty, Sun Kewang's troops are divided into two routes, all the way to attack Bashu, and the goal of the road seems to be Huguang!" ”

"What?" Gao Yihuan's expression changed, and he was a little shocked, "Sun Kewang sent troops to Huguang?" ”

"Yes! The information sent by Xuanyi Weixin showed that a large number of Western troops had gathered in Guilin Mansion and were very likely to enter Huguang. ”
