Comprehensive Video: Daily life from the courtyard

"My lord, a new notice was posted outside the Sixth Office this morning, saying that half a month later, that is, on September [-]th, Chang'an will hold the first imperial examination. You said,

No, do you think, can we go? "After Wei Yi finished speaking, he looked at Wei Shuye nervously and full of expectation. He hoped that this eldest son of the main line who often encouraged them to study, would support them to take the imperial examination.

Otherwise... Otherwise, I might not have the bravery of Brother Lin and Brother Ji to break the boat, and be able to carry the order not to allow them to participate in the imperial examination and sign up for the imperial examination.

"Yes, yes, I don't know if you have received the news, the eldest son, the second son of the Zhao clan, the third wife of the Xie clan... have all gone to sign up. We haven't received orders from the Patriarch, so we don't know when we can Go sign up" Wei Lou was afraid that the eldest son would ignore Wei Yi's overly reserved words, and added at the risk of angering the eldest son.

"My lord, I heard that there is also a limit to the number of applicants for scientific reports, especially this is the first time I have no experience, and the number of applicants exceeds [-]..."

"..."

Wei Shuye listened carefully while drinking tea, and after everyone had expressed their opinions, he slowly put down the teacup and said: "Your Majesty's will, we Wei clan must cooperate, if you want to participate, go and participate!
However, no matter what the final result is, you all have to remember that you can’t write two Wei characters in one stroke, and you can go further by supporting and helping each other.”

"Nuo, Yi, Lou... will definitely keep it in mind, and work hard to contribute to the prosperity of the Wei Clan." Wei Yi and Wei Lou led the crowd in agreement. It is to give everything for Wei Clan.

Therefore, they didn't have any objection to Wei Shuye's words, but assured them of course.

"Well, Zhizhu, let Master Yi and others take the purse prepared for Mr. Yi and others." After Wei Shuye finished speaking, he asked Zhizhu to take Wei Yi and others down.

"Thank you, sir." Wei Yi and everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words. He was worried that he would not be able to go to work during the exam preparation period. The family did not have a fixed income, and his wife and children would suffer along with him.

I didn't expect the eldest son to be so kind, let everyone take the imperial examination, and even subsidize everyone with money.

"No, young master" Zhizhu took the order, and respectfully led the offspring of the concubines out, and distributed the purse containing silver to these concubines who were preparing for the exam.

"Uncle, my nephew's Kongming tea is ready, but I want to taste my nephew's tea art." After Wei Shuye and the others left, they re-boiled a pot of Pu'er tea. Wei Guang invited.

Wei Guang sat in the gazebo without saying a word, and let Wei Shuye make tea for Zhang Luo. After tasting a cup of tea silently, he said: "Leaving Wei Yi and others to participate in the imperial examination, it is not easy for the Wei clan to explain to other clan clans!"
"What are you going to tell me? No one from the main line of the Wei Clan took part in the imperial examinations. Although Wei Yi and the others are offshoots of the Wei Clan who didn't have the fifth service, they have already achieved self-reliance.

Our main line can also tie their hands and feet, and they cannot be locked up at home.

Moreover, wouldn't that be a decree of resistance?Resisting the decree is a crime of beheading, we Wei clan can't stand it." Wei Shuye said with an innocent face, anyway, once the imperial examination is held, it is impossible to let it go without a better method of selecting talents than this .

Therefore, Wei Shuye never thought about letting the bastards of the first and second households take part in the previous imperial examinations, keep a low profile, and wait for the officials elected in the previous imperial examinations to gain a firm foothold in the court.

Then slowly let people go in batches for reference, and quietly blending in, wouldn't it be better than being the first bird now.

Wei Guang was choked by Wei Shuye's rascal's words. He wondered if he had been too reassured all these years to ignore Shu Ye too much.

Before that, he always thought that Shu Ye was a model of a gentleman, but he didn't realize that Shu Ye's way of doing things was actually quite shady or rascal.

But it’s also good. This world can’t accommodate honest and upright gentlemen, and it’s more suitable for schemers with thick faces and dark hearts. Therefore, Wei Guang explained with some ease: “Since you have a plan in your heart, I don’t know about it. It's up to you to deal with it."

"Don't worry, uncle, nephew will be careful." Wei Shuye knew that Wei Guang had chosen to compromise when Wei Yi and others stepped into the mansion. Seeing Wei Yi, who wanted to take part in the imperial examination, met him.

But that's right, the patriarchs of any family are not old foxes who play around with the court, they are the most reasonable and flexible group of people in the world.

It's clear that they can't beat Emperor Wei for the time being. Although they are still talking about it, in fact, who didn't set up dozens of speculations about the imperial examination?
What's more, which family doesn't have a few favored concubine sons, or those talented concubine sons who were suppressed by the descendants, they took the Wei Emperor's notice to stand beside them, and they either died or lived or directly tore their faces to take part in the imperial examination.

Ambition is the easiest thing to start a prairie fire. Now it has become the trend of the times. Either join it or wait to be eliminated!
…………

Three years later,
Chen Cang,

"Father and elder brother, do you have anything else to say?" Wei Shuyou finished reading the letter and asked Jiuliu who was beside Hou.

"Back to the second son, when the villain came, the adults didn't explain anything else, but the son said, let you and the second wife get ready, the appointment to transfer you back to Chang'an will come down soon."

"Where are the princess and the son-in-law? Go back together too?" Wei Shuyou thought about Yuan Chun and Cui Peisen in the neighboring county. After three years as neighbors, their relationship became closer.

"I don't know about this little one, but His Royal Highness King Yu also came to Chencang, but His Highness didn't stay, and went directly to Long County to visit the princess and consort." Jiuliu didn't add any personal thoughts, but simply stated.

"Then they should just not come back. Forget it. In fact, it's fine if they don't come back. When you are so sensitive, it might be more comfortable to stay in Long County." After three years of official experience, Wei Shuyou has matured in thinking and ability up.

Naturally, I know that with Yuan Song's innocent and unrestrained character, he really can't play with the situation of seizing the heirloom that is going on in Chang'an.

Moreover, judging from Emperor Wei's performance in the past two years, he would not want the next emperor's family to be the Wei faction, or be on guard against all the powerful.

With great difficulty, Emperor Wei used the new method of talent selection to suppress the powerful clans, so that most of the power of each department was collected by the royal family. How could it be possible to give the powerful clans a chance!
But fortunately, judging from his father's elder brother's behavior over the years, he never thought of pushing Yuan Song to the top.
