Datang: Kidnapping Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 31

In the early morning of the second day, Changsun Wuji took the initiative to propose the reopening of the imperial examination, which caused an uproar.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair with a steady face, his eyes fluttered. Although he had little hope, he wanted to find out if he had any allies.

A wealthy family is absolutely unwilling to reopen the imperial examination. It is in the best interest of the family to use the recommendation system if they want to be an official.

Kong Yingda, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to stand up and say that this matter is feasible, and it is a major event that is beneficial to the rule of the country and will last forever.

For Kong Yingda, the more scholars there are, the higher the status of the Kong family will be.

Certain wealthy families may become stepping stones for those in power when the dynasty changes, and disappear in smoke.

But for the Confucius family, no matter who holds the power in the world, everyone is the same.

It is the best way to promote knowledge and make people in the country recognize Confucius as a saint.

It's just that the identity of Kong Sheng's descendants is the best guarantee for being passed on for generations.

All the officials observed the words and expressions, and knew that the matter was irreversible, so they had to put forward a lot of conditions, hoping to take advantage of the imperial examination and share the benefits.

Overall, it has reached a state that everyone agrees with.

Li Shimin was very satisfied. Even though the first imperial examination would still be controlled by the aristocratic family, it was a beginning after all, and the future will grow in the future.

Reforms cannot be accomplished overnight, but the beginning is the most difficult.

Li Shimin issued an imperial decree at that time, the imperial examination was reopened, and the world was amnesty.

The common people in the land of the Tang Dynasty can step into the examination room through layers of selection and stand out. From now on, they will leap into the dragon's gate and change their destiny.

In the outskirts of the city, in a small courtyard.

Kneeling in front of a memorial tablet, Mrs. Chu burst into tears with excitement: "His father, the imperial examination is really held, God opened his eyes."

At the beginning, when Chu Tianyi was asked to buy books and take the imperial examination, he was actually just talking casually, and it was really not as reliable as earning money to marry a wife.

"Son, bring some gifts these few days and go to your father-in-law's house."

"By the way, General Cheng, don't forget that, if it doesn't work, send two piggies there."

"There is also Doctor Zhang, who is the master of the two of you, mother is still a little confused."

Chu Tianyi suddenly learned medical skills, which is a strange thing in itself.

But now that I know the imperial doctor, it seems to make sense.

However, isn't the relationship between the two of you a little messy?
"Mother, what do you remember?" Chu Tianyi asked.

These ten little piglets, what are your precious ones on weekdays, send them to Cheng Yaojin, can they survive the next day?
"You silly son, why are you so slow?" Mrs. Chu said anxiously: "The matter of the imperial examination lies in someone's recommendation, and then the policy and economics. Now it's hard to get a relationship, so how can it be done?"

The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was an unambiguous system, that is to say, the examiners could see the candidates' names.

It is because the examiner has to consider comprehensively, so the reputation of the candidate will also occupy a very important factor.

This is why scholars in the Tang Dynasty considered it romantic to linger on romantic occasions.

How many famous works through the ages were born amidst feasting and feasting.

The theme of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies has been the most contagious since ancient times.

If you really get drunk and scold someone with the strength of alcohol, you can still be alive and kicking the next day, then wait for your fame to rise.

If after gaining fame, there is still no shortage of arms and legs, the title of a romantic celebrity will not be able to escape.

"Brother-in-law..."

Suddenly, Cheng Chumo poked his head in at the gate: "I heard that you are going to take the imperial examination, my father specially asked me to send you some books."

In this era, books are definitely precious things, as can be seen from the so-called expensive Luoyang paper.

"Hey, look, it's General Cheng who cares, kid, have you eaten yet?"

Chu smiled and waved, "We don't have anything else now, but the braised pork is still enough."

This young man with a thick head and a thick brain is so rare, he looks like a good material for work.

If it is placed in our Jingyang County, it will definitely be easier to marry a wife.

"Hey, hey..." Cheng Chumo scratched his head and said, "Aniang's braised pork is the best. Can you make more? I want to bring some home for my mother and younger brothers."

As for Cheng Tiehuan's girl, let's forget it, she has special treatment for her little girl, and our elder brother can no longer control her.

Mrs. Chu was even more satisfied. The young man is filial, which shows that his family style is upright and he is a reliable and good family.

It's just that we picked up the little girl in Changle with our own hands, and the family's door is not too small.

It's really hard to choose, it's too painful.

"Son, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and get some meat!"

"Okay, mother, I'll get it right now, how much do you want today?"

"Get a dozen catties, make a big pot, and bring it back to Chu Mo."

"What is it, ten catties?"

"Ding, the system prompts that the host can advance the pork, which will be deducted as a random reward for future tasks."

"Ding, please give priority to the host to complete the task of entering the palace as an official. The deadline is the end of the imperial examination. If the task fails, immediately take back the drug exchange system and change it to the adult product exchange system..."

Chu Tianyi looked puzzled, the pork that had been paid in advance during this period was a bit too much, and the price was a bit high.

The previous system was people-oriented, and it was very polite to think about how to make the host have a better experience all day long.

Well now, after becoming a creditor, my attitude has changed.

Why didn't that bastard, Li Er, make any movement? Hurry up to start pork farming, and it will save us whispering to the system every day, and we can't lift our heads.

"Shall we kill a little piggy?"

"You dare to kill my little piggy?" Mrs. Chu pointed angrily at Chu Tianyi: "You unfilial son, if you dare to kill my little piggy, mother will beat you!"

"Aniang, my brother-in-law may be a bit embarrassed, don't want so much, just a little bit, at worst, I won't eat!" Cheng Chu silently patted his chest, making a "pop" sound.

After finishing speaking, he immediately gave Chu Tianyi a look: "How about it, is my uncle very loyal?"

"What the hell do you call loyalty? You are adding fuel to the fire!"

As expected, Mrs. Chu became even more angry, and casually picked up the broom next to her: "God, look at how sensible Chu Mo is, and then look at you, mother will beat you today!"

"Come on, isn't it just ten catties of meat, let's talk about it if we have something to say." Chu Tianyi dragged Cheng Chumo and ran out quickly.

"Brother-in-law, it turns out that Auntie can also beat people, amazing!"

"Cheng Chumo, let's discuss it, can you stop calling me brother-in-law!" Chu Tianyi resisted the urge to punch this kid in the face.

Cheng Tiehuan is only at the age of junior high school, you only have a brother-in-law and an uncle, so why rush to see off your sister?

"Hahaha, brother-in-law is still shy, don't worry, since brother-in-law you said, then we will change our name from now on!"

Is this a matter? Our good brothers are loyal. As long as you say it, my uncle will not disagree.

"Even if you're sensible, it's not in vain that I was scolded by my mother."

"Hahaha, my brother-in-law was joking."

"I told you not to call me brother-in-law."

"Good brother-in-law, we are a man, if you don't want to bark, you won't bark."

"Then you still call?"

"Ah? Did I call? Brother-in-law, you can't spit blood!"

"My Nima..."
