() Because the Song and Qing Dynasties had too many rules and regulations set in advance, the originally lively scientific examination became a lot more deserted. Chen Dong and other officials could not help but not understand this, because this was how they were selected.

The Song and Qing dynasties did not care so much. Although we live in this era, many things must obey the rules of this era, but today's world is a period of change. If everything follows the previous dynasty, then the emerging Liangshan regime will

, sooner or later they will follow in the footsteps of the Song Dynasty.

The exam is still going on, and the biggest difference about this exam is that there is no examiner.

Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and Chen Dong were all deputy examiners. You quickly understood that the chief examiner must be Liang Wang himself.

When the Song and Qing Dynasties were the examiners, of course they had their own ideas. In all dynasties, examinees would regard the examiners as their teachers, and then rely on the teacher-student relationship to look after each other. After entering the court, they would become party members. This was also the attitude of the cronies and township parties in the previous dynasties.

One of the sources.

And if Liang Wang is the chief examiner, who will be the disciple of others? In this way, the civil and military students can not only eliminate the signs of party disaster, but also allow them to work harder to serve Liang Wang.

It may seem selfish, but it is profound.

The examination hall was in session, but Song Qing, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Chen Dong and others were sitting together to discuss another important matter, which was about the reign name.

The Zhao Huan court in Lin'an still uses the reign name Jingkang. Although the Liangshan regime of the Song and Qing Dynasties was nominally a vassal of the Song Dynasty, it was no different from the actual founding of the country. Now the people north of the Yangtze River basically believe that they can rule in Liangshan.

I am so proud that I have almost forgotten the name of the imperial court. Therefore, using the reign name of the Song Dynasty is obviously unrealistic.

In fact, according to Song Qing's idea, it doesn't matter what his reign name is. As long as the power is in my hands. And I am only a prince now. If I set a private reign title, will it make people think that I want to rebel?

Chen Dong looked at Wu Yong, he was the one who most wanted to persuade him to join, but Wu Yong said it was not the right time, so he couldn't say anything anymore, but he also felt that it was necessary to establish a new reign name, which would help guide the military and civilians of the world to oppose Liangshan.

centripetal force.

Wu Yong nodded, answering Chen Dong's inquiry, and said: "Qiansui, I feel that the era name is imperative. The Jingkang era name of the Song Dynasty will definitely not work. A good country has become such a disaster, so

It represents shame. But now that a large area of ​​land is under my control, Liangshan, the Liangshan regime is just like the rising sun, and at this moment of brilliance, it must have its own reign name."

Zhu Wu also said: "Yes, Chitose, you always say that there is a new atmosphere in the new year, and we have to let people in the world feel the new atmosphere under the leadership of Liangshan, right?"

The two old guys expressed their opinions. Song Qing turned to look at Chen Dong, only to see him nodding firmly.

He pondered for a moment and said: "Then let's do it! Think about it, what era name should we use?"

Wu Yong thought for a while and said: "We in Liangshan have the purpose of doing justice for Heaven, so how about taking the Mandate of Heaven as our reign name?"

"Then this year will be the first year of destiny."

Zhu Wu and Chen Dong were obviously very satisfied with this reign name, but Song Qing did not express his position.

I remember that before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Nurhachi's reign name seemed to be destiny. How could he have the same reign name as the braided soldier?

"It's called Xingping! It means prosperity and peace."

Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, and Chen Dong looked at me and I looked at you. None of them could understand why they had left such a good year name unused, but chose a slightly worse one.

However, several people knew that Song Qing's temper was what he decided and could never be changed. So the matter was settled.

After the scientific examination is over and when the results are released, Luoyang will take the first year of Xingping as its name and write about it all over the world.

Because there were too many people who were watching and retreating, the total number of people in this scientific examination of civil, military and medical skills did not exceed 500 in the end.

It didn't matter. Once the rules were set, Song Qing had expected this result. He even said that having so many people exceeded his expectations.

After the college entrance examination, but before the results were released, Song Qing summoned all these people to the square of Luoyang Academy. In his words, he just wanted to communicate with these people and understand their thoughts.

Unexpectedly, after the news spread, many people who had not taken the exam also came after hearing the news.

Song Qing sat alone at the front, facing the candidates. Not only were the originally scheduled seats for 500 people below, but they were also crowded with students from all over the place. The scene was unprecedentedly lively.

The reputation of King Liang is now known all over the world, and having the opportunity to talk to him face to face is something they never dreamed of, so they all came early.

This situation surprised Song Qing, but he did not stop it because he wanted to use this opportunity to let everyone know that as long as you are willing to serve my new regime in Liangshan, I will definitely give you a chance.

Under the enthusiastic eyes of the candidates, Song Qing slowly walked up to the low platform, and then motioned for everyone with seats to sit down.

In the past, Song Qing had only faced soldiers, and he had never been shy in front of thousands of troops. Today, facing these candidates, he felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

These are the future pillars of my rule in Liangshan!

After smiling and nodding to everyone, he said loudly: "I'm here to sit down and talk with you today. I hope you don't be nervous. If you have any ideas or things you don't understand, you can tell me. I will try my best to satisfy everyone."

The podium was specially designed so that everything Song Qing said could be heard by everyone.

Most of the five hundred candidates sitting in the audience came from poor families. It was already a luxury for them to meet King Liang, so how dare they ask questions?

Seeing that no one spoke, Song Qing said again: "Since no one asked me, then I will ask you first!" He looked at the audience, picked someone at random, and asked: "Tell me, why do you want to be an official?"

?Speak boldly, I won’t blame you if I’m wrong.”

This candidate was wearing a coarse cloth, and it was clear that he was not a child of a rich family. Suddenly he was selected by King Liang, and his face turned red for a moment, but he was speechless. He was obviously very nervous.

Seeing this scene, Song Qing couldn't help but wonder, is he really that terrible?

At this time, a candidate sitting next to the candidate who was being questioned suddenly stood up, bowed and saluted: "In response to what the prince said, if students want to be officials, one is to honor their ancestors, and the other is to serve the imperial court."

As soon as he finished speaking, the first candidate who was asked the question finally choked out a sentence: "I still want to marry more wives."

This sentence immediately caused a roar of laughter. This boy was too honest. The prince asked, why didn't he say something impassioned, but instead said that he wanted to get more wives? I'm afraid the prince would be blamed.

Song Qing couldn't help but smile, this kid was quite honest. He secretly remembered his appearance and asked a few more people casually. The answers from the rest of the people were almost the same, they were all nice things about serving the prince and benefiting the people.

After everyone had finished speaking, Song Qingcai said: "Some people have long said that being an official for thousands of miles is just for wealth. Getting promoted and getting rich must be an idea that most people dare not say out loud. It doesn't matter. This is human nature. Only dissatisfaction can lead to failure.

It is an upward wheel. I can tell you that as long as you sincerely serve the court and have the people in your heart, then what you want in your heart will come true for you."

Having said this, he pointed at the candidate who wanted his wife and said: "Go to Youzhou! We need officials there, starting from the lowest level. If you do a good job, I will be responsible for your marriage."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar. Before the test results were released, King Liang actually sent an official here? What is the reason for this?

The former examinee was so excited that he almost fainted. He stood up and knelt down in front of Song Qing and said loudly: "Students are willing to go."

Someone among the candidates said loudly: "The prince is unfair. The list has not been released yet. Why did the prince appoint officials first? In this case, what is 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 this. Those of you who take the exam will be hired by me, but you will still be assigned according to your exam results.

"

This was another bombshell. Five hundred candidates immediately cheered, but the students on the sidelines were still dissatisfied. If they had known this was the case, everyone would have taken the exam.

Prince Liang's approachable attitude undoubtedly gave everyone courage. A young man in rich clothes rushed out, raised his hands and said to Song Qing: "Your Majesty invites you, but the students are not convinced by His Majesty's method of getting an official position."

"Your Majesty's reopening of the imperial examination is a great blessing for scholars all over the world. Let's not talk about the rules and regulations that Your Majesty set for the examination in the first place, but how can you convince all the students in the world that you can become an official as long as you take the exam? Students dare to ask Your Majesty

,Are you recruiting talents for the country?"

Is this kid crazy? How dare you talk to the prince like this? Aren't you afraid of losing your head? The whole place was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Song Qing had a calm expression and said calmly: "What's your name? Why don't you take the exam?"

The young man in the Chinese uniform said proudly: "Student Jiangnan Du Yuqing, the student did not have a reference because he felt that the prince had set too many restrictions for the candidates and could not truly achieve the purpose of recruiting talents for the imperial court."

After listening to what he said, Song Qing slowly stood up, faced more than a thousand pairs of eyes looking forward to the answer, and said in a deep voice: "I have already said it before. The purpose of resuming scientific examinations is to recruit talents for the country, not to pass certain purposes.

The road was paved by those who were promoted and made a fortune through the imperial examination. Faced with the harsh conditions, some people shrink back. Can I understand that these shrinking people have impure motives? Moreover, what if you don't advance even when you are facing difficulties?

Do you dare to claim your talents?"

"Looking at these reference people, some of them want to change their lives, change their destiny, or even get promoted and make a fortune through scientific examinations, but they still come. At least this is better than those of you who shrink from the battle. So I, the King

Use them"

As soon as Song Qing finished speaking, warm applause suddenly broke out in the venue. People outside the venue suddenly understood that the so-called scientific examination was just a formality. The real purpose of King Liang was to test these students' confidence in the new Liangshan regime.

manner.

The arrogant student Du Yuqing left at some point. He also regretted his recklessness, but he didn't know that Song Qing would never be as knowledgeable as him.

A few days later, the test results were released, but no one paid too much attention to this thing. Before that, someone had already mentioned that they jointly worshiped under Song Qing's sect, became the first disciples of Liang Wang, and then traveled to various places to work as ordinary petty officials.

rise.
