Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 333 An Tong
As soon as the imperial examination came out, officials from all over the country knew that this was an opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

The previous examination of doctors was the trial examination of the imperial examination.Almost every doctor was granted an official position, injecting a powerful vitality into the circulation of social classes.

Even doctors have invested so much money, what about the serious imperial examinations?
For a time, all the children from poor families flocked to her.They went to buy the six subject scriptures one after another, hoping to realize the Dao from them, stand out from the crowd, and reach the pinnacle of life.

The limelight of the six subjects was the same for a while.Not only did it cover up what happened in Jiankang before, but there were only a few records in the history books. Even Jin Yiwei, a monster with teeth and claws, was subconsciously ignored by many people, and he could hide in the dark and develop privately.

Chang'an, Liangyi Hall.

At this moment, Liu Yizhen was listening to Du Ji's report on the situation in various places.

"Your Majesty, the 36 Academy has begun to recruit scholars."

This piece of information alone let Liu Yizhen know that the rest of the aristocratic family really gave in.

In fact.

The bones of the aristocratic family are not very hard.

After watching the emperor bloodbath the south, they buried their heads tacitly like ostriches and actively integrated into the new era.

The successive opening of academies is the best proof.

"What is the composition of the students?"

"Your Majesty, about [-]% of them are the children of powerful locals. Most of the remaining students are from well-to-do families. As for the common people... there are really not many."

There is no doubt that the imperial examination system is still a paradise for the upper class in the short term.

The resources, knowledge, and connections they have mastered can easily throw off a large portion of the humble and common people who started from the same starting point.

Not to mention, their starting points are completely different.

A child who enters school at the age of six may have already learned the Four Books and Five Classics from wealthy families, but ordinary children have just started to learn.

but……

Give them a moment!
Nobles, after all, are a minority!

The poor and common people are the biggest base of the empire.

As long as there is enough time, they will slowly gather sand into a tower like an hourglass, and grow into a force that can cover the sky and cover the sun.

"and also……"

Du Ji hesitated when he spoke.

"how?"

Seeing Du Ji's expression, Liu Yizhen roughly guessed what the other party wanted to report.

"I'm afraid it's not good to have a stroke evaluation in Shilin now?"

More than bad!
Among scholars, Liu Yizhen seems to be almost the king of subjugation...

"Your Majesty, do you want Jin Yiwei to... move around?"

"..."

Some things don't need to be taught at all.

Even Liu Yizhen hasn't told Du Ji how to use Jinyiwei, Du Ji himself has already figured it out...

"No need, Jin Yiwei... only checks officials. Those scholars in the field, you can scold them if you want!"

"Then what does His Majesty mean that if there are officials involved, they can be arrested?"

"..."

Is that what I mean?

But after thinking about it, Liu Yizhen still acquiesced to Du Ji's statement.

The wild scholars and the common people can scold them however they want, but Liu Yizhen is not the kind of narrow-minded person.

Even Liu Yizhen, an ordinary official, would not care about them.

But if there are grades, food from the emperor, and officials who serve the emperor dare to force Lai Lai, then it's not that Liu Yizhen can't tolerate others.

"I understand."

Du Ji resigned in this way, and after Liu Yizhen pondered for a while, he issued an edict to call An Tong into the palace.

Since An Tong surrendered with Jinyang, he has been a little transparent in obscurity, never causing trouble.

Now hearing that Emperor Liu Song had summoned him suddenly, he was also terrified.

"The guilty minister, An Tong, sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty is respectful!"

"I'm safe."

Seeing that An Tong was still a guilty minister, Liu Yizhen knew that he was probably still a little nervous.

Also.

It might have been common for a foreign general to surrender to the Han Dynasty in the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.But since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, such things have gradually become rare.

In addition, An Tong is not a member of the Xianbei or Hun tribe, and has no important political role for Liu Song's two future enemies, the Northern Wei Dynasty and Hu Xia, so An Tong only hopes that he can settle down.In this way, after two or three generations, it may be possible to formally integrate into Liu Song Dynasty.

Now that Liu Yizhen summoned him suddenly for no reason, An Tong's heart had already been raised in his throat.

"Is Qing still used to living in Chang'an?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the emperor came up, he started chatting with An Tong, with an extremely gentle attitude.

"I heard that your beloved son, Anjie, is capable of writing and martial arts, and is quite famous as a general?"

When An Tong heard Liu Yizhen mention his son, he burst into a cold sweat, thinking that An Jie had done something wrong somewhere.

"Your Majesty, I am terrified!"

"..."

When Liu Yizhen mentioned An Jie, he was really curious about this young man.

An Jie was a rare fierce general in the early period of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In history, he not only captured Emperor Hu Xia alive, but also laid down important military towns such as Luoyang and Huatai for the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Such a sharp knife cannot tolerate Liu Yizhen's curiosity.

"Ai Qing is too worried."

Seeing An Tong's sincere and fearful expression, Liu Yizhen comforted him again.

"What I mean is, why not let Aiqing's son study in the academy? Take the imperial examination?"

Academy?

Imperial Examination?

Although An Tong doesn't ask about current affairs, the fact about the imperial examination in Chang'an City has become too popular recently.Even when going out for a walk in the market, you can hear street people such as peddlers talking about the imperial examination, so An Tong naturally knows about the imperial examination.

Now that he heard that the emperor wanted his son to participate, An Tong's heart was filled with enthusiasm, and then he was worried.

"Your Majesty, the subject is a barbarian, uneducated..."

An Tong and the others naturally studied the classics of the Han family in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but compared with the scholars of the Central Plains, it is undoubtedly a world of difference.

Although Chang'an's attitude towards the Hu people is much milder than that of the south, but in today's general environment, An Tong is still unwilling to let his son go out to take risks.

"No problem!"

Of course Liu Yizhen would not let An Tong back down.

In Liu Yizhen's eyes, An Tong and his son are almost the best examples of Hu people!

Not the Huns...

Not Xianbei either...

Does it matter?

Now Liu Yizhen is so confident that he doesn't need to use any crooked ways to target these two enemies. As long as Liu Song eases the pain and develops with peace of mind, it is almost only a matter of time before he defeats the two sides.

Even An Tong's bloodline is a plus for Liu Yizhen!

Sogdian people.

The ancestor was a servant who came to Luoyang from the Anxi Kingdom during the Han Dynasty, which can be regarded as an innocent family background.

You must know that now the Hu people around Liu Song basically belong to the "Five Hus", and their ancestors are basically stained with the sins of the Five Husbands. Liu Yizhen himself looked at them with disgust.

The branch of Antong is a rare "bingqingyujie", and it is undoubtedly suitable to be used as a model of the imperial court!
With such a perfect choice, Liu Yizhen will just sit back and watch him slip away from him?
