Chapter 215 Heavenly Family
Because Song Qing stipulated too many rules and regulations in advance, the originally lively scientific examination was much more neglected. Chen Dong and other officials are inevitably a little confused about this, because this is how they were selected.
Song Qing did not care so much. Although living in this era, many things must obey the rules of this era, today's world is a period of reform. If everything follows the previous dynasty, this emerging Liangshan regime will follow the footsteps of the Song Dynasty sooner or later.
The exam is still in progress, and there is another big difference in this exam, that is, there is no examiner.
Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and Chen Dong are all deputy examiners, and they quickly understand that this examiner must be Liang Wang himself.
Song Qing took the exam, of course he had his own ideas. In all dynasties, candidates will recognize the examiner as a teacher, and then take care of each other with the relationship between teachers and students. After entering the dynasty, they will become party members. This is also one of the sources of friends and township parties in successive imperial courts.
And if King Liang is the master of the exam, who will go to visit other people's doors? In this way, the literary and martial arts students can not only eradicate the signs of party disaster, but also make them work harder to serve the king of Liang.
It seems selfish, but it is far-reaching.
The examination institute is taking the exam, but Song Qing and Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Chen Dong and others are sitting together at this moment to discuss another major event, that is, about the year.
The year used by Zhao Huan's court in Lin'an is still Jingkang, and although the Liangshan regime of Song Qing is nominally a vassal of the Song Dynasty, it is no different from the actual establishment of the country. Now the people north of the Yangtze River are basically proud of being under the rule of Liangshan and almost forget the surname of the court. Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to use the year of the Song Dynasty.
In fact, according to Song Qing's idea, what year does it care about him? As long as the power is in my hands. And now I'm just a prince. If I set a private year number, will it make people feel that they want to rebel?
Chen Dong looked at Wu Yong. He was the one who wanted to persuade him the most, but Wu Yong said that it was not the right time, and he could not say more, but he also felt that it was necessary to set up a new year, which would be conducive to guiding the world's military and civilians to Liangshan.
Wu nodded and replied to Chen Dong's inquiry and said, "Thousand years, I think the year number is imperative. The Jingkang year number of the Song Dynasty must not work. A good country has become such a disaster, so it represents shame. Now a large area of the land is under the control of Liangshan. The Liangshan regime is like the rising sun. At the shining moment, it must have its own year."
Zhu Wu also said, "Yes, Chitose, you always talk about the new atmosphere of the New Year, and we have to let people all over the world feel the new atmosphere under Liang Shan, right?"
The two old guys made a statement. Song Qing turned his head and looked at Chen Dong, but saw that he also nodded firmly.
he meditated and said, "Then let's do it!" Think about it, what year number should we use?
Wu Yong thought for a moment and said, "How about we Liangshan take fate as the year with the purpose of replacing Tianxing Tao?"
"Then this year is the first year of destiny"
Zhu Wu and Chen Dong are obviously satisfied with this year, but Song Qing did not express their position.
I remember that before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Nurhachi's year number seemed to be fate. How could he have the same year number as the braided soldiers?
"Call it Xingping! Take the meaning of prosperity and peace"
Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and Chen Dong, look at me and look at you. No one can understand that such a good year number is not needed, but they chose a slightly worse one.
However, several people know that Song Qing's temper is his decision and must not be changed. So this is the case.
After the scientific examination, when the list is released, Luoyang will take Xingping's first year as the name and write all over the world.
Because there were too many people watching and retreating, the combined number of cultural and martial arts in this scientific examination did not exceed 500 people in the end.
This is not a big deal. At the beginning of the rule, Song Qing thought that there would be such a result, and even said that so many people could exceed his expectations.
After the big exam, before the list was released, Song Qing summoned these people to the square of Luoyang Academy. In his words, he wants to communicate with these people and understand their thoughts.
After the news spread, many people who did not take the exam also heard the news.
Song Qing sat alone in the front, facing the candidates. The original 500 seats below were full of people, and the surroundings were also full of students from all over the world, and the scene was unprecedentedly hot.
King Liang's reputation is now shocking, and he has the opportunity to talk to him face to face, which is something he never dreamed of, so he came early.
This situation surprised Song Qing, but he did not stop it, because he wants to let everyone know through this opportunity that as long as you have the intention to serve my new regime in Liangshan, I will definitely give you a chance.
In the warm eyes of the candidates, Song Qing slowly walked to the low podium and then motioned everyone with seats to sit down.
In the past, Song Qing faced soldiers, and he never timid in front of thousands of troops. Today, in the face of these candidates, there is an inexplicable throb in my heart.
These are all the pillars of the future under my Liangshan rule!
After smiling and nodding to everyone, he said loudly, "Come and talk with everyone today. I hope you don't be nervous. If you have any ideas or don't understand, you can tell me. I will try my best to satisfy everyone."
The podium is specially designed, so everything Song Qing said can reach everyone's ears.
Most of the 500 candidates sitting under the stage are from poor families. They are already hopeful to see King Liang. How dare they ask questions?
Seeing that no one has ever spoken, Song Qing said again, "Since no one asked me, I will ask you first!" Looking at the stage, he casually nodded to one of them and asked, "Why do you want to be an official?" Boldly speaking, I don't blame you for making a mistake."
This examinee is wearing a thick cloth shirt, and it can be seen that he is not a rich child. Suddenly, he was hit by King Liang, and his face turned red for a moment, but he couldn't speak. Obviously, he was so nervous.
Seeing this scene, Song Qing couldn't help but doubt whether he was really that terrible?
At this time, a candidate sitting next to the questioned candidate suddenly stood up, bowed and saluted, "In the words of the prince, students want to be officials, one is to show their ancestors, and the other is to serve the court."
As soon as his words fell, the first candidate to be asked finally said: "I still want to marry more daughters-in-law"
This sentence suddenly made me laugh. Isn't this boy too real? The prince asked, why didn't you say something impassioned, but said that he wanted to marry more wives? I'm afraid the prince will be blamed.
Song Qing can't help but be honest. This boy is honest enough. He secretly remembered his appearance and casually asked several people. The rest of the people's answers were almost the same. They were all obedient words such as repaying the prince and benefiting the people.
After everyone finished speaking, Song Qingcai said, "A long time ago, people said that thousands of miles are officials only for money, and promotion and making a fortune must be an idea that most people dare not say. It doesn't matter. This is human's normal. Only dissatisfaction is the wheel of upward. I can tell you, as long as you really work for the court and pretend in your heart. For the people, then what you want will be realized for you."
Speaking of this, he reached out and pointed to the candidate who wanted his wife and said, "Go to Youzhou!" Officials are needed there. Start from the grassroots level. Do a good job. The king is responsible for your marriage."
As soon as this statement came out, the audience was suddenly in an uproar. Before the exam results came out, Liang Wang actually sent an official here? What is this reason?
The previous examinee was so excited that he almost fainted. He got up and knelt down in front of Song Qing and said loudly, "Students are willing to go"
Some of the candidates said loudly, "The prince is unfair, and the list has not been released yet. Why did the prince appoint officials first?" In this way, what's the use of the exam?"
Song Qing raised his hand to suppress the noise of the candidates and said loudly, "I am here to tell you about this. I will hire you who take the exam, but I will still assign your source according to the exam results."
This is another blockbuster. 500 candidates suddenly cheered, but the students on the sidelines were still unconvinced. If they had known this, everyone would have come to take the exam.
Liang Wang's approachable attitude undoubtedly gave everyone courage. I saw a young man in gorgeous clothes rushing out and arched his hand to Song Qing and said, "The prince invited me, but the students did not accept the prince's method of taking office."
"It is a great blessing for the prince to reopen the imperial examination. Not to mention the rules set by the prince for the scientific examination first, but this way of being able to be an official as long as he takes the exam, how to convince the students of the world? Students, dare to ask the prince, are you seeking talents for the country?
Is this boy crazy? How dare you talk to the prince like this? Aren't you afraid of losing your head? The whole audience was so quiet that the needle fell in an instant.
Song Qing had a calm expression and said lightly, "What's your name?" Why don't you take the exam?
The young man in Huafu said proudly: "Student Jiangnan Du Yuqing, the students did not refer to it because they felt that the prince had set too many restrictions for the candidates to really achieve the purpose of seeking talents for the court."
After listening to him, Song Qing slowly stood up, met more than a thousand pairs of eyes looking forward to the answer, and said in a low voice, "I have already said that the purpose of resuming the scientific examination is to obtain talents for the country, not to pave the way for some people who intend to get promoted and get rich through the imperial examination. In the face of harsh conditions, some people have retreated. Can I understand that the motives for these retreating people are not pure? If you don't know how to enter, how can you dare to claim talent?"
Looking at these reference people, some of them have the idea of changing their lives, changing their fate, and even getting promoted through scientific research, but they still come, at least this is better than those of you who are on the verge of retreat. So I will use them"
As soon as Song Qing's words fell, there was a warm applause in the field. And the people outside the field also suddenly understood that the so-called scientific examination is just a form, and the real purpose of King Liang is to test the attitude of these students to Liangshan's new regime.
Du Yuqing, an arrogant student, didn't know when he left. He also regretted the recklessness just now, but he didn't know that Song Qing would not have the same experience as him at all.
A few days later, the exam results were released, but no one cared too much about it. Before that, some people have suggested that they worshipped together under Song Qing, becoming the first Liang Wangmen, and then went to various places to start with an ordinary official.
Maybe in the near future, they should be called the sons of heaven.
