Datang: My identity as prince was exposed by Li Er

This time the banquet was held in great joy.

It's disgusting, yes.

At the very least, Choi Min-gan is disgusting.

No one can resist being tricked by Li Yi like this.

What a shame!

But fortunately, the people here still know how to use discretion and did not expand on this topic.

Sun Shunde, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Rites, spoke.

This is also customary

"Dear colleagues, the seventh year of Zhenguan is approaching. Our country is in peace and prosperity."

"However, the leader of a dynasty should be prepared for danger in times of peace. If a country of thousands of chariots has no talent to succeed, its dynasty will be abolished!"

"Now that our country has a strong economy and a sharp military, all colleagues should recruit talented people and recommend them to the country."

This is the imperial examination system.

Li Yi also trained two students.

Although the imperial examination system was introduced in the Tang Dynasty, it is still different from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, you could pass the examination little by little. This is called a poor family. Rise up.

But in the Tang Dynasty, if no one recommends you, a poor family will always be a poor family. The carp leaping over the dragon gate is a popular saying only from the Song Dynasty. Why did it become the most popular word once it was introduced?

Because since ancient times, It is impossible for a poor family to rise, but the Song Dynasty gave a poor family a chance.

That's why the Confucian scholars from poor families respected it so much. When it came to the change of the dynasty system, Li Yi naturally did not dare to push too much.

He knew that the change of the political system, and even the imperial court Reform cannot be carried out until ten or eight years.

When it comes to recommending talents, Cui Minqian's eyes light up. The

Cui family of Qinghe was able to establish themselves in the original seven sects and five surnames. Didn't they rely on the power of the court's official recommendations?

Cui Minqian's fists Holding it, he shouted:"This time, I, Mr. Cui, will definitely recommend a large number of talents to the imperial court!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't be happy.

He was originally unhappy with the seven sects and five surnames. Now you are recommending talents to me, do I want it or not? If

I don't want it, how will the Confucian scholars from poor families criticize me?

If I want it, what will happen to me? In the court, isn't your Cui family's power growing stronger and stronger?

Li Shimin suddenly looked at Li Yi and said,"Li Yi! Last year, you trained one Jinshi and one Mingjing, recommended talents for the seventh year of Zhenguan. You also need to submit a quota, do you know?

Li Yida was also happy to arrive, nodded and said:"Okay!""

He Li Yi also wants to revitalize the family.

He can do it himself, but the students must work hard.

Recommendation is a trivial matter!

Li Yi has historical data. In the seventh year of Zhenguan, those people were selected as Mingjing and Jinshi. He is a fool. To me, it is simply childish.

Moreover, his Wannian School still has a group of people.

Although they are still young, as time goes by, they will become the middle power of the Tang Dynasty! The imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty is still the same. The remnants of the recommendation system were followed.

After all, not just anyone who wanted to take the Jinshi exam could do so, but who was qualified?

Of course, officials and nobles had to make recommendations. After the recommendation, the Ministry of Rites verified their identity before allowing the exam to be held.

Because of this, many talented people will try their best to find ways to gain the favor of nobles and officials. Of course, if the recommended person really succeeds in the examination, then the recommender will naturally become their benefactor, and even You are called the lord.

After all, if no one else took a fancy to your talent and recommended you, where would you be today? What the ancients paid most attention to was benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, trust, and repaying kindness, which is also related to a person's moral character. , once your virtue is questioned, you will be criticized by others from now on, then even if you become an official, you will have no foothold from now on.

Therefore, many families like to recommend talents to take the imperial examination. If you are in high school, your family has a family, It was an extra honor.

However, Li Yi didn't know the rules very well, so he asked Sun Shunde,"Dare I ask, in my capacity, how many talents can I recommend?"

This is very particular.

The higher the official position, the more people will be recommended.

For example, Cui Minqian, Huangmen Minister, who is the fourth grade, can recommend four.

Don't think that the four talents are few. If they are all admitted to Mingjing and Jinshi, That's a terrible thing.

Changsun Shunde looked at Li Yi and said,"Is this……"

He is embarrassed!

Li Yi has no official position and is not qualified.

He looked at Li Shimin as if asking for help.

Li Shimin understood and said to Li Yi:"There are not many talents in the world. For ordinary people, it is rare to recommend one person. If you are a powerful family, you can recommend two or three, and you are considered qualified. A higher one, such as Mr. Fang Du, can recommend five." Six is ​​the top level"

"But being recommended is one thing, passing the exam is another thing"

"Um……"Li Shimin pondered for a moment,"Li Yi, how many places do you want?"

Li Yi blurted out:"Nine is okay?"

Wori!

All of a sudden, everyone here became quiet.

They all looked at Li Yi.

Retarded!

Changsun Shunde quickly reminded:"Li Yi, don't be ridiculous. If you recommend someone without talent, you will be laughed at. Are you so sure?"

Li Yi nodded and said:"Yes, I have been observing these children for a long time. Okay, okay, just one sentence!"

Changsun Shunde's eyes twitched, and he said unhappily:"Yes!"

Li Yidao:"Okay, I will hand the list to your etiquette department tomorrow."

"……" tomorrow.

Your sister!

If you can recommend nine this time, nine of them will be able to go to high school, and my eldest grandson, Shunde, will also become your teacher!

……

The banquet is over.

Li Yi returned to Li Mansion.

He hurriedly found historical materials and determined the list of spring high schools in the seventh year of Zhenguan.

Guo Zhengyi.

Well, this is Guo Ziyi's ancestor.

Hao Chujun.

This is the son of the governor of Chuzhou, and he compiled the New Book of Tang.

Gao Zhizhou.

A model of the rise of a poor family in the Tang Dynasty, the only family in the Tang Dynasty.

Cui Shiben.

Cui Minqian's son...well, he also won the Mingjing of the seventh year of Zhenguan.

……There were many others left, and Li Yi copied the list one by one.

There’s no time to elaborate, I’m about to get on the bus, I can’t explain!

Li Yi hurriedly picked up the pen and said to Shangguan Yi:"First pass these lists to the Ministry of Etiquette and give them to the eldest grandson Shunde." Shangguan Yi said in shock:"Ah? The course will not start until next year, are you in such a hurry?"

It is about to celebrate the New Year. Yes, the Ministry of Rites has closed the government office.

Handed to Mao's Ministry of Etiquette?

Unless it is handed directly to Changsun Shunde.

Besides, if you have anything to do, can't you wait seven days until the Spring Festival is over?

Why so anxious?

Li Yi smiled and said to Shangguan Yi:"Fart! You don't understand! Do as a teacher says, hurry up, something will happen if time is slow!"
