Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

"Ok?"

Li Tai's eyes rolled, and he was secretly happy. Even his wife was released and returned to freedom, which meant that Li Zhi was out of the game, and he was the future Lord of the Underworld Tang Dynasty. This is a win!

……

Leaving Ziwei Tiangong, flying down for a long time, the outline of the earth gradually appeared, Xiao Shufei let out a breath and said: "The emperor is generous and benevolent, and let us live. If he can have one-tenth of the emperor, we How did the two sisters end up in such a situation?"

Queen Wang also felt that things are right and people are wrong, and she said with emotion: "Anyway, we are finally free. We can't go home anymore in this state. Why don't we go to Chang'an and live behind closed doors? Just let him go."

"Ok!"

Concubine Xiao Shu nodded, and fled to Chang'an with Queen Wang.

Unknowingly, a month has passed, Chang'an gradually became prosperous, Li Guangbi also led his army into Jin, and regained his homeland.

The overall strategic direction is to fight steadily, conquer the land, digest the land, and not rush for success. After all, although Li Lingyue has an orthodox dispute with the Lingwu small court, for the false Yan, he is orthodox, and he will be crushed by the upright momentum.

Chengdu!

After being persuaded by Chen E to leave Chang'an, the poets took root in Sichuan. There are so many beautiful people in Sichuan, the climate is mild, and the products are rich. It has been more than ten years since they lived here.

"Brother Taibai, brother Taibai!"

Early in the morning that day, Du Fu, who had gone out to buy breakfast, rushed in yelling.

"Oh? What about breakfast?"

Li Bai looked at Du Fu's empty hands and said displeasedly.

"Oh, what are you eating for breakfast? Something big has happened. Look!"

Du Fu took out a residence newspaper from his pocket and handed it over.

"Oh?"

Li Bai rolled his eyes, took it over, and looked carefully.

The yelling also alarmed Wang Wei, Wang Changling and others, who rushed out one after another to watch with Li Bai.

"What? The heroine is in power? How decent is this?"

Wang Changling's expression changed immediately.

Li Bai snorted and said, "Brother Shao was also born in the reign of Tianhou. When he was young, he ate the food of the Tianhou Dynasty. Why didn't you see that you disliked the heroine in power? Now is not the time to worry about these things. You can read about the opening of the department. It's about me waiting for the doctor's affairs!"

"Eh?"

Wang Weinian said: "To select a scholar, one needs not only poems and songs, but also beautiful calligraphy, but stereotyped writing, which must be written in Guange style. There are examples..."

Looking at it again, Wang Wei said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of characters are these? They are blunt, dry and nondescript. Such characters can be written by a three-year-old child!"

"Brother Mojie is right on point!"

Du Fu smiled: "There is nothing wrong with the official documents of the imperial court and the imperial examinations. After all, it is for official business and not for viewing. Yu Yu can see the pragmatic intention of the imperial court. He combined the six subjects into one. It is not difficult for us to come up with questions from the Four Books and Five Classics, so we are still preparing to take the imperial examination next year."

Li Bai said with emotion: "Thinking that I, Li Taibai, have been begging for an official all my life, and knelt down to the powerful, but I can't get an official. When the emperor called me to Beijing, I was so happy in my heart that I yelled wildly: "Go out with a big laugh. How can I be from Penghao?" , but when I arrived in Beijing, I was only given an imperial servant, and no real job. They just treated me as a plaything. Every time I think about it, I feel extremely ashamed in my heart.

Now the selection of officials in the new dynasty is all done through imperial examinations, everyone depends on their ability, if I, Li Taibai, still can't be an official, I will admit it! "

But Wang Changling said: "It's a pity that the previous fame and fame are not counted except Ming Jing Ke and Xiu Cai Ke, and don't get carried away, brother Taibai. The elders of you and me are all poetry and prose, but they don't take the imperial examination. Poems and books only test articles and theories. When it comes to poetry, the world is led by me and others, but others can’t write poems, so they may not be able to write theories. The boat capsized and became a joke through the ages."

"This……"

Li Bai's madness was exhausted.

It is true that writing poetry requires talent. Not everyone can write good poems. Among the scholars in the world, there are very few talented people. These people can't write poems. Why can't they memorize the Four Books and Five Classics after more than ten years?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Everyone is silent.

Yes, what the imperial court wants are scholars who are willing to put in effort and memorize by rote, not talented and talented poets.

"Then is the imperial examination still available?"

Wang Wei lacked confidence.

"Exam! Why don't you take the exam? From now on, study the Four Books and Five Classics hard, and thoroughly understand what's in the book. I'll go buy a book!"

Du Fu turned around and walked out.

"Hey, the new imperial examinations have both advantages and disadvantages, especially the old man, who is almost sixty, and has to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, mother!"

Wang Wei scolded directly.

Li Bai laughed and said: "What is this? Maybe I have to take the exam with ten-year-old children, and I have to pull this old face to sit down. But Li said something from the bottom of his heart, this imperial examination is the first in the world, and the first in the world." Or, the regulations must be imperfect, how to test, how to test, no one has experience, can only slowly explore, so it is bound to be full of loopholes, and the questions will be relatively simple, if you miss the first time, at your age, the second time Don’t even think about going there for the second time!”

"Not bad!"

Wang Changling nodded and said: "Brother Taibai has a good opinion. We are all at this age. We can be officials for a few years. When the regulations are perfected, I am afraid that the court would rather choose the young than the old. Therefore, the only chance is this time. Let's take a step back. Said, we have to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, don't others need to memorize, anyway, we also read the books of sages from time to time, which can always offset the disadvantages of being old and weak!"

"Okay, not much to say. In the first year of the Republic of China, in the spring of February, Tongsheng is selected, in May Xiawei, scholars are selected, and in August Qiuwei, Juren is selected. According to the preferential treatment of the court, people like us can skip Tongsheng. He Xiucai, in the exams in Chengdu, it’s full of calculations, no more than a year, time is not waiting for us, let’s practice Guange Style first, don’t be in the examination room, all of them are cursive script, the examination papers will be invalidated immediately, you are smiling and generous!”

Li Bai waved his hand and immediately got into the room.

"Hey~~"

Several people shook their heads and sighed, followed into the room.

There is no way to do this. Although the imperial examination system is very unfriendly to them, the vast majority of scholars are welcome. After all, memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics by rote, everyone stands on the same starting point, and there is no need for poems and songs. Talent, the opposition of a few people is invalid, and can only succumb to reality.

Just when a group of old literary youths were gearing up, preparing for how many times they could fight in life, and when not to fight, the bookstores and printing shops in Chengdu were already overcrowded, and there were four books that could not be sold on the shelves. The Five Classics became a hot item, and the price skyrocketed.

Chengdu Palace!

"Humph!"

Li Longji snorted sourly when he heard the report about the imperial examination.

Although the crown prince Li Rui ascended the throne in Lingwu, after all, it is located in a remote place. Bashu still recognizes Chang'an. Chengdu belongs to the court of Chang'an. Li Longji lives in Chengdu for the elderly, and no one makes things hard for him. , and a theater troupe for his entertainment, life is passable, and his face looks better.

It's just that Yuhuan was still on his mind, and he was anxiously waiting for Gao Lishi to come back.

From Chengdu to Taipeng Mountain, about five hundred miles away, Gao Lishi had secretly left a few days ago, and Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to secretly bring Yuhuan back.

Count the days, it should be here today.

"My lord, Eunuch Gao is back!"
