Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 672
Several people looked towards the stairs.

A squire in soap clothes came upstairs, walked quickly to the magistrate Xiao, and said in a low voice: "Report to the county magistrate, you have succeeded!"

Chang Sunman clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Well done!"

Wang Yu'an and Zhu Qu also looked happy.

The County Magistrate Xiao obviously had a deeper city mansion, so he just nodded slightly, and warned: "Move quickly, clean up your hands neatly, and never leave any traces behind."

"My subordinate understands!"

"Go!"

"promise!"

He turned around and went downstairs, the eldest grandson laughed and said: "Sure enough, it is a local snake. Brother Xiao is planning a strategy, and we will have a fortune from the sky. Come here, I will replace the wine with tea, and toast Brother Xiao!"

Wang Yu'an and Zhu Qu stopped bickering and raised their teacups together: "Drink the Holy Spirit!"

"Drink Holy!"

County magistrate Xiao took a sip of tea reservedly, looked at the three of them quietly, and said in a calm tone: "A sum of money of nearly one hundred thousand guan, I think you should be satisfied. Although it went well this time, there are accidents in everything, and no one can do it." Whether it’s good or bad, we were left behind, and people found us according to the pattern. I have heard that Fang Erlang is not a good guy, and he will probably come to Suzhou in the near future, so everyone should keep a low profile.”

Zhu Qu did not take it seriously: "Fang Erlang relied on his father's power in Chang'an, and His Majesty protected him, so he naturally ran amok. But Suzhou is not Chang'an, and no one is used to his problems! When he arrives in Suzhou, even if he is a tiger, he must Let our Jiangnan gentry lie down obediently!"

The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have been operating for hundreds of years, so they naturally have their arrogance.

Fang Jun's reputation can't stop these local snakes.Not only could they not be suppressed, but even before Fang Junren arrived, this group of people had already made up their minds under the instigation of Changsun Man...

County magistrate Xiao looked coldly at the accomplices who were a little carried away, noncommittal, and just sipped tea lightly.

But he made up his mind that if he succeeds this time, he must draw a clear line with these idiots, otherwise he might be dragged into the water...

Thinking of the letter from the clan brother Song Guogong Xiao Yu, County Magistrate Xiao glanced at Changsun Man lightly, with a weird smile on his lips.

If you want to make a fuss, do it yourself...

*****
Any system is gradually perfected and developed, which depends not only on the merits of the system itself, but also on the degree of fit between the system and the social environment.

Generally speaking, Fang Jun did not have any extravagant expectations for the imperial examination in the 14th year of Zhenguan.The foundation and influence of the imperial examinations in the former Sui Dynasty are still there, and people are greatly influenced by them, and they will definitely not be able to absorb and accept the imperial examination system reformed by Fang Jun.

The most important point is that this is an era of aristocratic families...

The monopoly of education for thousands of years cannot be completely changed by printing a few cheap books, writing a few popular enlightenment books like the "San Zi Jing", or even an imperial examination.The literacy rate of common people is really too low, almost every literate person is pulled out to be the son of aristocratic family or their closest relatives, and the real poor family is rare.

Only when the monopoly of education by aristocratic families is broken, can the imperial examinations based on talents be truly developed.

The monopoly of education in history was at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. The world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits.

Even the aristocratic family has disappeared, let alone monopoly education.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, the cost of education became cheaper, and the opportunities for common people to read and read greatly increased, and the imperial examinations really took off.

A good system still needs a suitable social environment to operate, otherwise it is nothing more than a theory on paper and a castle in the air...

Frozen three feet does not happen overnight, and there is still a long way to go to support the rise of the poor and resist the aristocratic families.

Called the servants to put on the carriage, and left the house in the drizzle.

There are few pedestrians on the street, but in the restaurants and inns, it is bustling and bustling.Although scholars from all over Guanzhong took the exam in the examination room of the Ministry of Rites, there were more domestic servants and servants accompanying them than the scholars. At this moment, they all gathered in the wine shop and inn, chatting in small groups in low voices. Anxiously waiting for the end of the exam.

Fang Jun passed slowly on the street in a carriage, and he was in a good mood.

Although there is a long way to go in the imperial examinations to truly achieve the goal of "selecting only talents", as long as it attracts the attention of scholars all over the world, this initial stage will be considered a success.

Although the stability of the aristocratic family's consent to the country is a disadvantageous factor, and it is impossible to fully implement the favorable policies of the imperial court to all states and counties in the world, but for the current Tang Dynasty, the talents for the rise of the empire still have to rely on the aristocratic family.

The literacy rate of poor families is really too low...

The carriage passed through the streets and alleys, and came to the gate of the East Palace with a loud noise.

After getting out of the car, the family general Wei Ying had already held up an oil-paper umbrella to cover Fang Jun from the fine rain.A servant of the Eastern Palace was at the gate of the palace a long time ago. When he saw Fang Jun getting off the carriage, he immediately ran over, ignoring the fact that his hat and clothes were soaked by the rain. He half-kneeled in front of Fang Jun and said respectfully. : "Slave and maid respectfully welcome the son-in-law. Your Highness has an order. As soon as the son-in-law arrives, please go to Lizheng hall immediately."

Fang Jun hummed, took the oil-paper umbrella from Wei Ying, and walked towards the palace.

The East Palace under the rain curtain looks quiet and exquisite, lacking the solemnity and grandeur of the Taiji Palace, but it has a beautiful and exquisite charm, which can be said to have its own merits.

Maids in the palace wearing flowers and butterflies usually come in and out of the Lizheng Hall, and a series of exquisite dishes and altars of mellow wine are delivered into the hall.Fang Jun came under the rain corridor in front of the hall, and a maid came forward and bowed to take the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and then someone led Fang Jun into the hall.

It was drizzling outside the hall, but the inside of the hall was warm and harmonious.

Surrounding the Persian carpet with dragon patterns in the middle, a row of desks were placed in a circle. Seven or eight people sat behind the desks, chatting and laughing happily.

Seeing Fang Jun coming in, Prince Li Chengqian, who was sitting in the main seat, waved his hands with a smile, and said casually, "Why did Erlang come here? Come and sit beside Gu."

These intimate conversations and actions showed that Fang Jun's status in the eyes of His Royal Highness was very different from that of other courtiers.All the people here, old and young, are all prominent people, but they are also secretly envious and jealous.

Being favored and used by His Majesty today, and being so close to the future Emperor, this kid really has traveled a long way...

No matter how sour his heart is, there is no doubt that Fang Er is the most popular celebrity in Chang'an.What's more, all the people here are here today because they are asking Fang Jun for something, so naturally there is no sign of worry on their faces, and everyone is smiling.

"Hehe, Erlang's newlywed Yan Er, it's the sweet time with His Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang, and he can't wait to face each other face to face, embrace each other at night, how can he take a step out of the bedroom so easily?" Almost invisible, it was Wen Ting, the son-in-law.

Wen Ting was born in the Wen family of Taiyuan, which is also a wealthy family. His father was Wen Yanbo, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and the Duke of Yu.His brother Wen Zhen died of grief while Wen Yanbo was in mourning, and the world praised him for his pure filial piety.Wen Ting is the wife of Princess Qianjin, the daughter of Emperor Shang Gaozu.Since he is a relative of the emperor, it is not rude for Kai Fangjun to make a few innocuous jokes.

Fang Jun laughed and said, "I know you, Consort Wen! At that time, Concubine Wen was still the daughter of Princess Wen, and they were inseparable for three years. When they went out, they shared the same car, and when they entered, they shared the same bed. They envied the world! I am not talented, but I want to imitate the great achievements of my predecessors." , but I have more than enough heart but not enough energy, ashamed, ashamed!"

"Wow haha……"

There was a roar of laughter, and the son-in-law Wen Ting blushed and remained silent.

Princess Qianjin is fierce and fierce, and is famous in Guanzhong.It is said that she was not satisfied with Wen Ting when she got married. She once complained to her close friends that Wen Ting was "short, weak and depressed", but she was afraid that her love affair would attract bees and butterflies. , Passed as a joke.

How could Wen Ting not be ashamed and indignant when he failed to make fun of Fang Jun, but was exposed for his shortcomings?
Prince Li Chengqian laughed so hard that tears almost came out. Although he didn't want to see the aunt of the princess, but after all, he was a family, so he patted Fang Jun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The so-called scolding does not reveal faults, Erlang's move is wrong. Demeanor, fined three cups of wine, have you ever been convinced?"

Fang Jun chuckled: "Your Highness has an order, so naturally I will sacrifice my life to accompany you!"

This guy Wen Ting doesn't know good and bad, but he doesn't hurt Da Ya. Since he fought back, Fang Jun didn't care about himself, and gave the prince a face and let him go.

He drank three cups in a row without changing his face.

Everyone suddenly praised: "Good drinker!"

Fang Jun looked at everyone's insincere words with a smile, and secretly thought in his heart that he is an acting school. Looking at his posture, could it be that this group of people asked him for something today?
Immediately, he sipped his wine with a smile and didn't interrupt.
