Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 21 Dare to ask where is the way?The road is under your feet!
King Luo Bin's enthusiasm was wiped out by a basin of cold water, and the flattering expression on his face gradually turned into depression.

He looked at Li Zhi, and said unwillingly: "I want to serve the country, but I can't find a way. I hope King Jin will point out a way."

"Ming Lu?"

Li Zhi put down the wine glass he just picked up, smiled lightly and shook his head.

He glanced at his bad friend Xiao Wan, and raised his chin towards him.

"Shen Zhi, it's up to you to answer this question, to clear up the confusion for Brother Guan Guan."

Xiao Wan doesn't know how to be polite at all, and when he sees Li Zhi, he goes to his side.

Li Zhi didn't say a word, and the boy sat across from him.

Hearing what Li Zhi said at this time, Xiao Wan rolled his eyes and said to Luo Binwang, "Why did you ask this question? Isn't the road just at the foot of Xiongtai? There are many students in Chang'an city. You are Pingkang." Why is the square so lively today?"

"This brother refers to the imperial examination?" King Luo Bin asked reluctantly.

Xiao Wan nodded slightly, and said two words with a smile: "Exactly!"

People in the early Tang Dynasty wanted to enter the court and become officials. There were two channels.

One is to be guaranteed by the high officials of the court, recommended to serve in the court, or recommended by a wealthy family.

No matter which route is taken, the imperial court will accept it.

Wealthy families provide fresh blood to the court and form a mutually beneficial relationship. This is a commonplace topic, and there is no need to discuss it here.

As for the recommendation of court officials, to put it bluntly, it is Mengyin, which can be regarded as a kind of welfare for serving the court.

But whether it is the former or the latter, places rarely fall on outsiders.

We all know the reasons. You are not one of our own, nor are you a genius that can be identified with the naked eye. Why should I waste a quota and recommend you as an outsider?
This is also the reason why Luo Binwang hit a wall everywhere. No one will talk to you until you have shown the potential to be a capable minister of governing the world.

Anyway, anyway.

This path is only suitable for those geniuses with management or political science talents, or officials, and gentry children.

No one else can take this path.

In this way, there is only one other path left for those students from poor families.

That's the imperial examination!
In order to recruit all kinds of talents from all over the world, the imperial court established more than 50 scientific examination subjects in the imperial examination system.

Among them: Xiucai, Jinshi, Mingjing, Mingfa, Mingzi, and Mingshu are the six major subjects, and the talents in different directions are tested separately.

With a wide variety of subjects, there is always one that is right for you.

As long as you have enough ability, you will be able to find a way to become an official.

"Brother Guan Guan's talent, whether it's Mingjing or Mingzi, it shouldn't be difficult to win, right?"

Xiao Wan said with a smile, complimenting King Luo Bin's talent lightly.

It's as if the imperial examination was just a trivial matter to King Luo Bin.

King Luo Bin listened, but shook his head with a wry smile.

This is the third time for him to go to Beijing to rush for the exam. If he is confident that he will pass the imperial examination, why do he have to walk around?
He didn't know what the imperial court's admission standards were, but every time he finished writing a policy paper, he felt that his article would definitely pass.

But when it came time to publish the list, it was disappointment time and time again.

King Luo Bin smiled wryly and said: "It's easy for this brother to say, but it's not that simple if you want to be a Jinshi. Who knows if those examiners are filling their own pockets? There is such a group of people who occupy the way to become an official. The way out!"

I am not capable enough, so I just said that the examiner cheated.

Li Zhi almost died laughing at King Luo Bin's words.

People who are not capable always like to use one or another excuse to paralyze themselves, even if they are famous literati in later generations, they will inevitably fall into the cliché.

Hearing this, Li Zhi was basically sure that King Luo Bin was not suitable to be an official.

Conspiracy theories are taboo in the officialdom, talking nonsense can easily cause confusion in the workplace.

When the time comes to settle the matter, they are destined to be eliminated.

A person like King Luo Bin who is angry with the world, has an impulsive personality, and likes to guess wildly should not appear in the court at all.

"Sure enough, having extraordinary attainments in literature does not mean that you can be equally outstanding in other areas."

Li Zhi sighed softly, and then said to King Luo Bin: "Brother, if you want to become an official in the court, this king still recommends that you study the 'Mingjing' subject. As for other subjects, there is no need to waste your time. You are destined to take the exam. No way."

These words were harsh, but they were also from Li Zhi's heart.

Needless to say, the exam is extremely difficult and no one can pass it.

As for the Jinshi subject, it tests the ability in internal affairs.

It wasn't that Li Zhi looked down on King Luo Bin, but because of King Luo Bin's mentality, no matter how many opportunities he was given, he couldn't grasp it.

The only thing he could pass the exam was to memorize ancient and modern classics by rote, so that he could memorize the passages backwards.

And the subsequent official planning will mostly follow the route of admonishing ministers, anyway, don't even think about gaining real power.

Li Zhi gave his most sincere advice out of respect for the "Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty".

But the truth is always hard to accept.

When King Luo Bin heard Li Zhi's words, his expression changed on the spot!
"Hmph! You really deserve to be an emperor and grandson who can make such a clumsy work. I was just telling the truth, and it made you so jealous. If you don't want to recommend it, just say it, so why bother to speak ill!"

What do you mean doomed not to pass the exam?
With his talent, as long as the imperial examination can be fair and impartial, isn't it easy?
King Luo Bin was angry from the bottom of his heart, and he was full of evil. He pointed at Li Zhi's face and yelled: "The imperial court is corrupt, and the people who control the government are all mediocre people like you. If this goes on for a long time, how can the Tang Dynasty prosper?!"

Li Zhi didn't expect King Luo Bin's reaction to be so intense, and he was a little dazed for a while.

At this time, the high-ranking official's children who were sitting not far away couldn't bear to watch.

Surrounded him and pushed the furious King Luo Bin.

"For the sake of kindness and persuasion, it's fine if you don't understand, but you still bite back, what's the difference between you and a white-eyed wolf?!"

"Get out! Get out! You villain is not welcome here! Get out of the teahouse now!"

……

The crowd in the teahouse was excited and cursed at King Luo Bin.

A riot was about to start.

At this time, Li Zhi reacted and quickly pulled the two people who were torn with King Luo Bin away.

"Huang Ruo, Siwen, don't be in a hurry, let me say a few words to him."

Li Zhi's voice was not loud, but it sounded like a bell, clean and crisp, very recognizable.

Everyone heard the words and gradually quieted down.

Tang Guan and Li Su, who were held back by Li Zhi, also separated from King Luo Bin at this time, and stood on both sides of the table.

They watched King Luo Bin vigilantly, beware that this guy jumped over the wall in a hurry and ran into Li Zhi and the two princesses behind him.
