"Stuttering? Can the top scholar speak in full?"

"Fortunately, I just stuttered and did not affect communication."

"Then... there should be no bad rumors, right?"

"No, on the contrary! This is a joy!"

In the bedroom, Yuwen Wen, who returned from the banquet, was lying on the couch and sobered up. Empress Yuchi Chifan sat aside to wipe his face. The two talked about the new top scorer Lu Chu, and Yuwen Wen was very happy.

He held a banquet in the Imperial Garden, hosting a new Jinshi, and chatted with the top scholar Lu Chu for a while, and found that although this person was stuttering, it was not as good as the normal conversation. He stuttered heavily in the hall that day, mainly because he was too excited and nervous.

As he was talking, Yuwen Wen held Yuchi Chifan's hand and placed it on his chest, saying with a smile: "Although the top scholar stutters, it's good, it's great!"

"So what's the good thing?" Yuchi Chifan asked this question very consciously.

Yuwen Wen continued to say: "Hey, you can tell me one by one if you listen to this benefit..."

Yuwen Wen has already seen Lu Chu's resume, and he has also investigated the situation of this top scholar through the police station.

Let me ask, the first top scorer in the first imperial examination was actually a stutter. What would the reaction of all parties after the news spread?

It depends on Lu Chu's multiple identities.

One of his identities was the first place in the first place in the palace examination and the top scorer. He was not known to the emperor and civil and military officials until shortly before the examination paper was opened.

The second identity is that he is from the Lu family of Fanyang and is a descendant of the Gao family of one of the five surnames and seven hopes.

Identity 3: Disabled (mild) people with stuttering.

The fourth identity is the clan of the Fanyang Gonglubian, who was the Taizu, who was the left arm and right arm, and the Fanyang Lu family entered the Fanyang Lu family of the Western Wei Dynasty.

The fifth identity, Yang Ni, killed the clan nephew of the murderer Lu Ben, the murderer of Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao, and has not been appointed for these years.

The top scholar Lu Chu also has five identities, so when he becomes the top scholar, it will trigger different opinions from different groups of people. These views will invisibly give the imperial examination an advertisement with outstanding results.

Yuchi Chifan was ignorant, so Yuwen Wen continued to analyze for her.

The second identity is that those opponents who oppose the imperial examination and believe that the selection of talents through examinations cannot test their "virtue" have nothing to say, because the children of the Gao family became the top scholar, which shows that the previous opposition was purely unfair.

The second identity will make the children of the Gao family members feel relieved and know that the imperial examinations held by the imperial court will not deliberately suppress the gentry.

Children of the gentry took the imperial examination and relied on their real talents and real knowledge to become officials, so they could face the doubts with confidence: How about it? Are you convinced?

But will this result stunned the Han clan’s children: Does the emperor still value the children of the Gao clan? Can only the children of the gentry be the top scholar?

No, because the palace test papers were kept a name and were not opened until the moment it was announced. From the examination to the marking of the papers, the name system was strictly implemented, which was seen by all civil and military officials.

Therefore, the golden signboard of fairness and justice for the imperial examination has been initially established.

Then, the third identity of the top scorer will make all scholars who are healthy or have mild disabilities feel that their future is bright: a slightly disabled person with a stuttering can pass the top scorer by relying on his real talent and real learning. Why can't we?

Then, the fourth and fifth identities of the top scorer were combined, and the political significance was very strong.

This has to start from that year.

In the past, Taizu (Yuwen Tai) welcomed Emperor Yuan Xiu of Wei who fled from Luoyang in Guanzhong. The powerful minister Gao Huan established a new king and moved the capital to Yecheng. At this point, Wei divided the east and west, and there was a confrontation between the east and west Wei.

At that time, the Guanlong area was destroyed, all industries were withered, and famine was often caused by famine, which was not as good as the wealthy Guandong area. Therefore, the Western Wei was at a disadvantage in the east-west confrontation. Not only was the military strength, economy, and population not as good as the Eastern Wei, but even the "inheritance" was not as good as the Eastern Wei.

Yuwen Wen was afraid that Yuchi Chifan would not understand, so he made an example.

Wei divided the East and West, just like two brothers splitting their families. The eldest son (Eastern Wei) shared most of the family property (Hebei, Henan, and most of Hedong), as well as grandfathers and father tablets representing the inheritance (etiquette, official system, etc., claiming to be from the Han and Wei dynasties. Of course, the Southern Dynasties expressed disdain for this statement).

The second son (Western Wei Dynasty) was very troubled when facing the ancestral tablets that the eldest son showed from time to time. In order to show that he had the real inheritance, he created the grandfather's tablets (retro Zhou rituals), and suppressed the eldest son's head:

My inheritance is more authentic than you! The ancestral tablets are written in bronze inscriptions (inscribed on pre-Qin bronze ware), which is much more authentic than the tablets written in official script in your hand!

Of course, Taizu didn't know how to perform Zhou rituals in retrospect. Thanks to the help of famous scholars such as Su Chuo, Lu Bian, etc., the six-official system was established.

Lu Bian was born in the Lu family of Fanyang. With his younger brother Lu Guang, he was one of the few children of the Lu family of Fanyang who entered Guanzhong to serve the Western Wei court.

Fan Yang is in the north, with the East and West Wei confrontation. Most of the well-known people of the Fan Yang Lu family are in the Eastern Wei, including Lu Bian and Lu Guang's elder brother Lu Jingyu.

The three brothers Lu Jingyu, Lu Bian and Lu Guang were knowledgeable and were highly valued in the East and West Wei. Lu Jingyu was said to have become the imperial tutors of a certain emperor of Northern Qi, and the two brothers Lu Bian and Lu Guang were treated almost like this in the Western Wei.

Lu Bian, Lu Guang and other Lu family members who entered Guanzhong naturally became one of the honorary ministers of the Western Wei Dynasty and integrated into the Guanlong Group.

The Western Wei changed into Zhou State, and Lu Bian and Lu Guang died one after another.

Lu Shen, son of Lu Bian, performed mediocrely, while Lu Guang's son Lu Ben, had a good relationship with Duke Yang Jian of Sui, and chose to defect to Yang Jian in the second year of Daxiang.

At that time, Yang Jian was assassinated (Yuwen Wen's move), and King Zhao, Yuwen Zhao, mistakenly thought that Yang Jian was dead, so he led his troops into the palace to capture the "demon queen" Yang Lihua, and then as the ruling sect king, assisted his nephew Yuwen Chan in charge of the overall situation.

As a result, Lu Ben, who was leading the way, was chopped off.

With this happening, Lu Ben became a hero of the Sui State, Lu Shen became a minister of the Sui State, and other members of the Lu clan who were in Guanzhong also served as officials in the Sui State.

Later, the Sui Kingdom was destroyed. Since the Yecheng court regarded Yuwen Qiankeng, the son of King Zhao, as the emperor, as the emperor, Lu Ben, who killed Yuwen Zhao, and the Lu clan members who were accomplices of the pseudo-dynasty.

Lu Ben had died in battle before, and Lu Shen also died of illness before the fall of the Sui Kingdom, but his family still had to pay the price, and the people of the other tribes were also liquidated to varying degrees.

As the nephew of the Lu Ben clan, Lu Chu died shortly after his father was in poor health at that time. In addition, Lu Chu was not old at that time, so he managed to save his life in the liquidation, but he had no hope of career since then.

There are many branches of the Lu family in Fanyang, so the court has always had officials from the Lu family in Fanyang, and their official positions are not low, but no one will be in trouble and take the risk to recommend Lu Chu, a distant tribe, to be an official.

Even if the emperor changed from Yuwen Gankeng to Yuwen Wen, the same is true.

According to the police investigation results, since the fall of the Sui Kingdom, Lu Chu and others have no hope of becoming an official in Guanzhong. Fan Yang's hometown has long changed and cannot go back, so Lu Chu has been teaching in Chang'an over the years.

After all, the Lu family in Fanyang is very famous, and Lu Chu is also very talented and knowledgeable. Although he speaks with a little stutter, the powerful and powerful are happy to make friends with their families and gain reputation. Therefore, there are many students in the private school opened by Lu Chu, which allows him to support his family by relying on tuition fees.

Therefore, the fourth and fifth identities of Lu Chu combined, which are symbols of a special group: in the Western Wei Dynasty, descendants of the Zhou Dynasty became the survivors of the sinners who had been abducted and had no hope of becoming an official.

What does such a person who can now participate in the imperial examination and become the top scorer by relying on real talent and real learning?

It shows that the court opened its own side and allowed distant relatives who were accused of rebellion (Yang family, Yuchi family) to reform and gained an opportunity to become an official.

Yuwen Wen said this and began to summarize: "So, although Lu Chu had a stutter, he became the top scholar, which brought positive publicity effects to the entire imperial examination, and the publicity effect was very good!"

He gently stroked Yuchi Chifan's hand and continued to say with great interest: "No matter whether it is aristocratic, cold, good people, sinners, or people with a little disability, they will see their hopes through the fact that Lu Chu becomes the top scholar!"

"Strictly implement the imperial examination system of the Immortal Names and Censorship Test, so that all candidates who are qualified to take the imperial examination can stand on the same starting line. If you want to win, you don't need to rely on your background or your family background. The only thing you need is to study hard and have real talents and learn!"

"The police have investigated that because Lu Chu has no official position and has no welcome or sending him, he has a lot of spare time to read books. Over the years, he has been subscribing to newspapers and academic journals, and often goes to bookstores to buy books. He must be very familiar with current affairs and academic development trends..."

"Then because of teaching, Lu Chu must be familiar with the "Teaching Outline", "Exam Outline" and a series of new textbooks, and has some skills, so it is natural to participate in the imperial examination and be able to break through the boy's exam, the provincial examination, the imperial examination and the palace examination, and the final selection is natural."

Yuwen Wen was really happy. Although he felt a little regretful when he ordered a stuttering top scorer that day, the series of positive effects brought by this incident were something he had never expected before.

Yuchi Chifan heard Yuwen Wen's long discussion and was very happy. His husband was very busy for the palace examination and the top scorer was the first in the imperial examination. Now he has a happy result, which is really gratifying.

She thought for a while and asked, "Then, will the next palace examination be absent when the papers are reviewed?"

"Well...."

This question made Yuwen Wen speechless, as if he was playing the first prize in the lottery, it seemed too exciting. This time he was lucky and scored a good first prize. If he was not lucky every time, he scored a hideous person...

As he thought about it, he began to ponder.

It is easy to hold fair and fair exams to select talents, but you really have to practice it...
