The founding uncle of Wushui County, Chang He, the chief general of the left guard of the inner court, rode a horse back to the house, and was frowning after entering the door.

Chang He changed his court clothes and wore a round neck robe and a leather belt with a mattress, which was much easier.

I walked into the study room and asked the book boy to polish the ink and lay the paper, but I picked up the pen and didn't hold up a word for a long time. Finally, I sighed, "Your Majesty is not making things difficult for me and a rough man? I am a rough man and don't know many words. What words can I say about the imperial examination?"

"Chang Wei, do you know how to take the imperial examination?"

The book boy Changwei, who had been following Chang He for several years, smiled and said, "Alang asked me this, why not ask the coachman Lai Fu in the front yard. He might know more than I do."

"If you can know anything, you can know a lot. He knows a car and a horse. You are a scholar after all."

"Then Alang is still a general of the Central Army."

Chang He was so angry, "Forget it, you are just a famous book boy, no more than I know."

"Alang, Mr. Ma in our mansion knows a lot of words. It is said that he had worked as an assistant teacher in Liaocheng County before. Why didn't Mr. Ma ask?"

After hearing this, Chang He slapped his thigh, "Yes, why didn't I remember it?"

So Chang He threw down his pen and got up to find Mr. Ma in the West Courtyard.

Mr. Ma is also a magical person. He was originally from Chiping County, Qinghe, Hebei Province. He became an orphan when he was young. His family was poor and unruly because of poverty and frustration, unruly and unruly, and he was not respected by the state. But what is rare is that although he was an orphan since childhood, his family was poor. However, Mr. Ma was able to listen to the audience and become a talented person, especially proficient in "Poetry" and "Biography", but he was a relatively careless person.

Later, he went to Liaocheng County, Wuyang County next door and applied for a job as an assistant teacher. But after finally having such a job, he didn't take it seriously. He drank all day and did not teach seriously. After being scolded by Shangguan many times, he simply resigned angrily and wandered around Shandong and Henan. As a result, he was insulted by a local county magistrate. In anger, he ran to Luoyang and happened to drive to Chang'an by the emperor.

So he also traveled west to Chang'an, but when he arrived in Chang'an, he had run out of money and could only stay in a hotel outside Chang'an Xinfeng. Seeing that he had no money to pay, the hotel was unwilling to entertain the down-and-out scholar.

On that day, the store owner urged him to pay the bill again. Ma Zhou sighed, so he asked for a dou of eight liters of wine and bet with the store owner that if he could drink it, he would ask the store owner to waive his travel expenses.

This attracted everyone to watch. It happened that the Central Secretary Chang He was passing by. He was also very surprised to see Chang He really drank this eight-liter dou.

After inquiring about his identity, he found that he was a poor scholar from the county next to his fiefdom, so he asked him to be a guest in his mansion, usually help him teach his children, and handle letters on his behalf.

When Chang He found Mr. Ma, the man was leisurely looking at the newspaper with his legs on the table, while Chang He's son was copying the surnames of a hundred families.

Luo Dan and Qin Li, Yan Cui and Zheng Wang.

"Mr. Ma!"

Chang He greeted him with a smile. When Ma Zhou saw that the boss was coming, he also put away his legs.

"The boss has scattered his yamen."

"Mr. Ma is still accustomed to staying here. These little bastards must be very naughty. Please be more attentive. If you are disobedient and refuse to study hard, just use a whip to whip them."

"Several young men are very attentive in their studies." Ma Zhou could only say this. The sons of the generals like to dance with swords and guns, and they really have no talent or heart to study.

Chang He then pulled Ma Zhou to the living room on the other side to make excellent Longjing green tea.

"This tea was rewarded by Your Majesty this spring. I gave it one pound of Longjing in the Ming Dynasty. There is no market outside. Some people have been asking for one pound of 100 guan. But I am a rough man and don't know much about tea."

Ma Zhou Xiaoxiao, the emperor likes to stir-fry tea and likes to make tea and drink it. Therefore, in recent years, nobles and scholars have been competing to imitate it, but the traditional sencha in the past was no longer popular.

"Alang also respects me very much, so Ma Zhou had to drink wine. He knows a little bit about wine. As for this tea, he really doesn't care about it."

"Hahaha, Mr. Ma has always been so free and straightforward. I like you. Although he is a poet and scholar, I hate some scholars, who are pretentious and artificial.

"Alang even took out the imperially-given dragon well today. I must have something to talk to Ma Zhou. Alang might as well speak out!"

"Haha, you can't hide anything from Mr. Ma. It's something to bother Mr. Ma. It's about scholars. Recently, Your Majesty has been discussing with the prime ministers of the court to reopen the imperial examination, but Your Majesty does not want to simply follow the imperial examinations of the Sui Dynasty, but instead increase the efforts to recruit scholars in the imperial examinations......"

Chang He immediately explained some plans for the imperial examinations in the court, such as one year, and anyone with good ranks can surrender himself. Students from all levels of official schools and folk scholars can also go to the government office to register for the assessment, and after passing, they can obtain a tribute status in the township.

In addition, the Qin Dynasty imperial examinations must go through five examinations, including counties, counties, roads, rituals, and palace examinations. Those who pass are Tongsheng, scholars, juren, and Jinshi.

"The palace examination is not eliminated, only the ranking is determined. The emperor presided over the paper and personally evaluated the famous generals and ranked them as the third. Only three people were selected in the first class, the first class was the top scholar, the second class was the second class, and the third class was the Tanhua Lang. The first class was awarded the Jinshi."

"The second class is given the Jinshi's origin."

"The three Jias are awarded the same Jinshi as the Jinshi."

The emperor will also preside over the Tanhua banquet for the new Jinshi, and write the title of the Golden Palace, chant the chanting. After the Chuanlu, three of them arranged flowers and put on red. The top scholar used gold and silver hairpins, and the Jinshi used colorful flowers to go out of the court gate by drums and music, paraded on horseback, and prepared umbrellas and umbrellas to send back to the residence of the guild. The other two and three were from Donghua and Xihuamen.

The more Ma Zhou heard, the bigger his eyes became.

"Is this true?"

"These are all said by Your Majesty himself. Can it be true? Your Majesty attaches great importance to the imperial examination and says that as long as you pass the county examination and become a scholar, you can be qualified to be an official. If you pass the Dao Examination and obtain the status of a juren, you can be appointed as a township chief, a county director, a county cavalry, and other officials. If you pass the Ministry of Rites, you are qualified to be appointed as a county chief, a county magistrate, or a central provincial, ministerial, or a local Dao County Cao."

"This is really a carp leaping over the dragon gate." Ma Zhou said excitedly.

When he was a county teaching assistant, he was unwilling to teach classes because the students included in the county school were all officials or children of local tyrants. There were not many who were willing to study sincerely, and the students refused to study, and their parents did not pay attention to it. So what else could he teach?

But as a scholar, Ma Zhou is still very ambitious and hopes that his talents will be appreciated by the prime minister one day, or favored by the emperor, and can also show his strengths.

"I wonder what Ma Zhou is asking me for?"

"That's right. What the court is still arguing about is what to take in the imperial examination? For example, how many subjects should be set up? As the emperor said, only Jinshi, or whether it is necessary to add the calculation and law, and medical subjects, etc. What should be taken at each level of examination? How many people should be selected at each level? These are still arguing. Some people say they want to take literary poetry, and some people say they want to take the scriptures. Your Majesty asked the officials in the court to write suggestions and submit their opinions. You said, "How can I understand these things, so I want to ask Mr. Ma, you can help me write. You are a scholar, and you must understand these better."

Ma Zhou nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I'll write it!"
