He should be like Li Yazi, and Li Cunxu was arranged by his son Li Keyong to join the army at the age of eleven. Not only did he go through the historical record and turn the tide and kill all directions, but he even made Zhu Wen feel afraid and amazed. It is said that he should be the first to conquer the war in Youzhou, Yan State. The facts prove that in the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the descendants of the monarch were destined to come out early to receive training.

Otherwise, even if the previous generation of monarchs were wise and powerful, if their offspring were flowers in the greenhouse, in this era when the strong prey on the weak and the following predicament became a common practice, they were destined to be swallowed up by surrounding forces or the powerful with increasingly ambitions within the country.

Li Cunxu was both civil and military, and indeed had great talents and strategies, but his personality had a fatal flaw, which made him, as a monarch, evaluated completely differently in his early and later historical records. Li Tianqu knew very well what Li Cunxu's temperament flaw was, but he could not predict whether his descendants would have other personality weaknesses. People still had to go out and go through training to find problems in advance.

Of course, Li Tianqu would not have let his parents go to the front line with a knife to fight against the enemy with a desperate attempt at his parents... When other descendants were old, those who were good at literature followed the literature and those who were good at martial arts joined the army, and their positions were from low to high, and even if they were in charge of a vassal state, what would they achieve?

After all, before the ancestor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Wei, was appointed as the commander, governor, and the subordinate of the Central Secretariat, and the prefect of Kaifeng, before he was passed down to Chai Rong, the first wise king of the Five Dynasties, he was asked to serve as the commander, governor, and the governor of the Central Secretariat, and the prefect of Kaifeng... to confirm that he was the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne, so that was what he did.

If anyone is unable to do the job or exposes the fatal disadvantages of being a monarch, he will immediately dismiss his post and dismiss his power, and will be a free and carefree prince in this life, but he will never be involved in military and political power.

Of course, the children of the royal family were isolated in the inner garden of the deep palace, which was also to prevent the possibility of the prince colluding with the outside world in the future and intending to cause chaos. There would be a powerful minister who would support a prince and intend to form cliques. This kind of thing is not uncommon for governance or troubled times. When Li Tianquxin said that after all, I could still suppress the situation now, and some things only need to be made early to make arrangements. If there are any signs of turmoil in the future, they can still be eradicated immediately...

In addition to cultivating offspring by oneself and designing important matters for successors in one's own forces. Li Tianqu listened to the report of the Ministry of Rites, but this year's scientific examination has an interesting story.

At that time, the Spring Examination Palace Examination was admitted, and a total of 28 people were admitted to the Jinshi. However, the special situation this year is that among the candidates who passed the list, Wang Xiyu, Liu Xiang, Ke Chong, Zheng Xiyan, and Cao Song, they are even old men over 70 years old. Li Tianquxin said that according to historical records, there was really such a thing, and he had some impression of it, and later it was called the "Five Olds List"...

The old man who was over 70 passed the imperial examination, which is not impossible. After all, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Yin Shu was the first to be in the palace examination at the age of 71, and he was also the oldest top scholar in all dynasties. However, in the same year, five elderly people who were over 70 years old were on the list, which was quite rare.

Among these five old men on the list in their later years, Li Tianqu had the deepest impression of Cao Song. After all, the poem "Don't talk about being a marquis, one general succeeds and ten thousand bones are woven" was what he did. However, these old men were too old to enter the officialdom. According to their original trajectory, they died of illness before two or three years of official history, and they did not even survive the official history line when Zhu Wen killed the emperor and usurped the Tang Dynasty...

After Li Tianqu learned the news, it was only half a day since Du Xunhe, who has been transferred to the Minister of Rites, submitted an imperial examination to Li Tianqu, and said in a while:

"It is also because of the deterioration of the Tang Dynasty in the old days. Some people have also been involved in the rebellion of the Niu Li Party. Since the Niu Li Party, the nobles and nobles have not been concerned about the students' talent and knowledge, but still ask for help from aristocratic families. Therefore, they have been selected as the candidates. It is like a commoner's children who have no way to visit, which has led to many people leaving pearls covered with dust. This year, the five elders are on the list, which is also the disaster that the previous dynasty has been left to this day...

Your Majesty is very wise. In addition to following the famous imperial examination method during the Wuzhou period, he also set up a new copy. Even if the children of the powerful and honorable people have no way to ask for the entrusted, the examiners cannot elevate the candidates and eliminate fraud. Some of the five elders on the list live in Wu and Gan, but they never leave far away and rushed to Bianjing for the exam, which shows that they can obtain the method of recruiting talents and selecting talents.

I remember that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty used the method of obtaining scholars to say that the whole world had been included in my throne. Your Majesty chose talents and appointed talents, and with time, students from all over the world would come to take the exam and use it for our dynasty, and they would inevitably emerge one after another."

After all, Du Xunhe is over 50 years old this year and failed the exam many times, so he went to Jiuhua Mountain with Luo Yin and others to live in seclusion. Therefore, when it comes to the disadvantages of the imperial examinations in the late Tang Dynasty, he also empathizes with it.

Li Tianqu, holding the title of the candidates who recorded this year's top ranking, smiled bitterly and said:

"Cao Song, Wang Xiyu and other famous scholars were originally talented and famous among the people, and in theory they were enough to be hired and promoted to the officialdom. Although they were very old, the Ministry of Personnel would appoint official positions. Haha... I believe that since these elders have similar circumstances to Mr. Wei, they must have been in a similar mood."

Having said that, Li Tianqu also knew that these elderly literati who had been writing poetry for most of their lives were completely different from those of Wei Zhuang. Some were very talented in literature, but their talents in economics and governance and peace of the people were not necessarily outstanding. Like Wei Zhuang, who was good at writing poetry and lyrics, and had the talent of Wang Zuo, and were still strong in body and body...

It was originally supposed to be that during the Tianfu period of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty, Cao Song, Wang Xiyu, Liu Xiang, Ke Chong, and Zheng Xiyan were both over 70 years old and were both over the age of retiring and returning home, but they were both listed together, so they were called the Five Elders in the world, which was a good story. But in fact, they only had two or three years to work hard in politics, and it was really difficult to achieve any achievements.

Li Tianqu just thought that these elders are good at writing poetry, and some works have been passed down in later generations, which have all been considered to be a contribution to the inheritance of Chinese culture. Therefore, even if they achieve their life goals, they can become officials and make use of their remaining energy to provide them with their elderly care.

Listening to Li Tianqu jokingly, Du Xunhe also smiled, and then he said:

"Your Majesty, this year, there are still two candidates who have not yet passed the age of twentieth. It is not all those who are older."

This year, a total of 28 people were ranked in the Jinshi exam. Li Tianqu had just obtained the famous book and had not read it thoroughly. After hearing Du Xunhe said this, he read the names and backgrounds of the person who was on the list. However, when his eyes flew to the candidate Chunyu Yan, Dengzhou, Li Tianqu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

Chunyu Yan was born in Dengzhou, and according to his historical records, he did indeed become the Ming Jing Ke. However, according to his original trajectory, he should have lived under Huo Yanwei. However, Huo Yanwei is now serving in the vassal states ruled by Ge Congzhou, which is very different from his original trajectory of officialdom. It is estimated that in the past, historical records only indicate that Chunyu Yan was admitted to the Ming Jing Ke and entered the list when he was young, but because of his displaced times, he turned to Huo Yanwei.

In the official history, Li Siyuan, the Emperor Zhuang of Later Tang, valued Huo Yanwei, and his internal and external affairs were all decided by him. However, Chunyu Yan was Huo Yanwei's right-hand man, and the affairs of the military government, as for the private affairs, everything was decided by him. According to historical records, "Therefore, Yanwei's governance is based on Yan's power." This shows that this person has outstanding abilities. Since he and Huo Yanwei could be said to be complementary, Li Tianqu thought that after a while, he might as well send Chunyu Yan to the Yangwu Army vassal state, and he could still become a tacit partner with Huo Yanwei.

However, when Li Tianqu looked down and fell on someone's name, his face changed even more, and he immediately thought to himself:

In addition to the five elders on the list, there is also Changle's old Feng Dao? But he is probably old and is still just a young boy, right?
