So he ordered the prince to convene craftsmen to study this printing technique, first print Confucian scriptures, then print the calendar, and then compile the imperial edicts such as the recruitment orders issued after he ascended the throne into “holy words”, and then print them to various places for distribution.
If the printing effect is very good, Yang Guang would like to convene people to compile the orphans collected in the palace into a collection of books, and then print a few more, collecting several in Tokyo and Jiangdu.
Yang Guang himself is a luxury person, so he is different from Emperor Wen of Sui. He rewards the people he likes very generously.
Yang Guang immediately wrote to Li Xuanba and asked if Li Xuanba wanted to be a servant.
The Shizhong is now just a false position, usually a “added official” to those close to the emperor. If you are appointed as the Minister of State alone, you will only receive a salary and you will not have to work.
After Li Shimin learned about this, he jumped three times with joy: “Okay! A Xuan will become an official first! Brother will follow you!”
Li Yuan was also very happy.
Although Li Jiancheng felt a little sad, he still looked like a good brother. Congratulations to Li Xuanba.
Mrs. Dou frowned: “Will it be too ostentatious?”
Li Xuanba thought for a while and said: “Father, please help me reject Your Majesty’s kindness and exchange it for some land, money and money.”
Li Yuan was puzzled: “Why?”
Li Xuan said: “The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. My second brother and I were first accompanied by our father, and my father was enlisted into the court. I was given an official position in the court, and I was too honored. As my mother said, I was still young and had too much blessings, and I might not be able to bear it. In ancient times, many people who entered the court as officials at a young age had bad luck.”
At this time, we not only believed in the art of prophecies and divination, but also believed in “destiny”.
Li Xuanba only said that the family was too favored, and Li Yuan didn’t care.
As the emperor’s cousin, he deserves to be honored and favored. What’s more, his family’s honor is much worse than the favorite Yuwen Shu family, the emperor’s favorite minister.
But Li Xuanba said that “the blessing is too heavy and it is unbearable”, which made Li Yuan worry.
Li Xuanba has been in poor health since he was born, and he seems too smart, which is very consistent with the characteristics of those prodigy who died prematurely in history books.
Seeing that his father was moved, Li Xuanba said, “Besides, father, I want to enter the imperial examination.”
Li Yuan said without thinking, “No! The imperial examination will be despised by others when he entered the imperial examination. Have you not seen what the situation was in the late emperor’s imperial examination recruitment?”
Of course Li Xuanba knew.
Although later generations recorded that “Ming Jing” originated from Emperor Wen of Sui, “Jinshi” originated from Emperor Yang of Sui. In fact, when the Han Dynasty was in the imperial examination system, the recommended talents would pass the examination and selection after entering the court, so they already had the titles of “Ming Jing” and “Jin Shi”.
On the contrary, after archaeology, there were no “Ming Jing” and “Imperial Examination” in the imperial edicts of Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui on the selection of imperial examinations.Character.
This does not mean that Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui did not open these two subjects. They just followed the ancients’ classification title of examinations, and did not specifically point out that they did not attach as much importance to the imperial examinations as they imagined.
Emperor Wen of Sui really did not attach much importance to the talents recruited by the imperial examinations, and trusted the talents who were honored by nobles and families.
Most of the talents who passed the imperial examinations in Sui Dynasty, such as Wang Zhen, were sent to a county magistrate, and more people such as Liu Zhuo and Hou Bai were not even allowed to be officials.
Even the “scholar” who was most difficult for Hou Baizi to pass the exam to become an official in the court, Emperor Wen of Sui regarded him as a funny person. Yang Su had a good relationship with Hou Bai. Whenever he recommended Hou Bai, Emperor Wen of Sui always said that Hou Bai was not qualified to be an official and only gave him the treatment of a fifth-rank official.
Li Yuan accompanied Emperor Wen of Sui when he was young and was deeply loved by Emperor Wen of Sui, so he saw with his own eyes how Hou Bai was treated as a actor by Emperor Wen of Sui.
When Li Xuanba talked about the imperial examination and becoming an official in the court, he immediately felt disgusted.
