Chapter 521 Guo Jia Is Seriously Ill, Ma Liang and Ma Su

"Feeling filial piety!"

Liu Xie was shocked, and this call also made the singing and dancing present stop suddenly, and everyone looked at him.

When they saw Guo Jia covering his mouth and blood flowing out from his fingers, they also changed their faces.

Guo Jia looked down at the blood in his palms, with a dazed expression. He looked up at Liu Xie, his lips slightly twitched: "Your Majesty, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he fell into Liu Xie's arms.

Liu Xie held Guo Jia in a coma and shouted with a ferocious look: "Transfer to the Imperial Doctor!"

"quick--!"

...

A quarter of an hour later, the Greenhouse Hall.

There were no other beds in the palace, so Liu Xie placed Guo Jia on the bed where he usually rested in the greenhouse hall.

This is undoubtedly incompatible with the etiquette system, but at this moment, Liu Xie no longer cared about so much. He only cared about Guo Jia’s safety!

Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were both invited to treat Guo Jia at the edge of the bed.

Liu Xie, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Fa Zheng and other ministers surrounded him.

Guo Jia's face was pale and his eyes were closed.

There is still blood in the corner of the mouth.

Zhang Zhongjing took his vein and looked very solemn. He took his hand back after a long time, and then sighed.

"Sir, how is Fengxiao?"

"Can you be afraid of life?"

When Liu Xie saw Zhang Zhongjing's pulse end, he immediately asked, with an inconcealable tension in his voice.

After so many years of imperial career, he has developed a cunning demeanor that does not change his color.

But it is related to Guo Jia's life, and he has to worry.

Zhang Zhongjing stood up and bowed, then said, "Report to Your Majesty, Guo Situ is not at risk of his life, but his physical condition is extremely bad."

Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Guo Jia's life was still there, but the following sentence made his heart rise again.

Jia Xu couldn't help asking: "The spirit of Fengxiao has always been very good, how could it be like this suddenly?"

"He was working with us all night in the cabinet yesterday."

Although Guo Jia's body was very weak before, his body had improved a lot after treatment.

Today I suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma, and was told that my physical condition was extremely bad, which was too unreasonable.

Hua Tuo shook his head and said, "Guo Situ's health has never been very good. He was eroded too deeply by Wushisan and the color of wine in his early years. Even though I prescribed medicine for him to regulate his body, it was only a treatment for symptoms but not the root cause."

"In addition, Guo Situ holds an important position, devotes himself to his work and has heavy responsibilities, which has made the burden on his body even more heavy."

"Today, Guo Situ's emotions fluctuated too much, causing qi and blood disorder, and he became in a coma after vomiting blood."

After listening to Hua Tuo’s words, everyone was silent.

Everyone looked at Guo Jia on the sickbed, feeling both admiring and sad, and Fa Zheng, Lu Su and others' eyes were even red.

As colleagues, they have a good relationship with Guo Jia. How can you not feel sad when you see Guo Jia like this?

Liu Xie pursed his lips slightly and asked hesitantly, "How long will it take to be filial to him...?"

This is a heavy topic.

But he had to ask.

Zhang Zhongjing sighed, "It is not easy for Guo Situ to save his life. As for how long it will take... I can only say it depends on God's will."

"Guo Situ must rest next and must not be tired anymore."

After receiving this answer, Liu Xie fell silent again.

After a while, he nodded and said, "I'm sorry, two gentlemen, please don't go far away, just wait near the greenhouse hall."

"Yes, your majesty."

Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing bowed and stood up and left.

Shortly after they left, Guo Jia also woke up slowly from his coma, but his eyes were particularly turbid and unconscious.

"Feeling filial piety."

Seeing Guo Jia wake up, Liu Xie walked to the bed and sat down, held his hand, and said blamingly: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't let you drink that glass of wine, let alone let you do this. As tired as it is…”

Liu Xie's voice gradually condensed Guo Jia's originally scattered gaze. He turned his head slightly, looked at the familiar face of the emperor beside him, and barely smiled.

"His Majesty……"

"I'm here."

Liu Xie's eyes were red and he said softly, afraid that his tone of speaking would blow away Guo Jia's energy.

Guo Jia struggled to put his other hand on Liu Xie's hand and said in a weak voice: "Imperial Examination...Kong Ming..."

Liu Xie felt sad when he heard this. He had been with Guo Jia for many years, and the king and his ministers had already been united. How could he not know what Guo Jia meant?

Even when he reached such a situation, what Guo Jia was thinking about was the reform of the imperial examination system, the dream he worked hard for throughout his life.

"Don't worry, I will let Kong Ming take over the imperial examination reform in an all-round way. You have a good rest and don't talk anymore."

"The imperial examination reform has not been completed yet, and you have not taught me yet, Prince, how can you abandon me?"

"Don't be lazy."

Liu Xie's voice was choked.

Zhuge Liang even stepped forward and bowed deeply, saying in a trembling voice: "Please rest assured that Liang will carry out the reform of the imperial examination system to the end and let the spring examination be held smoothly!"

Guo Jia is so ill, but he still does not forget to give him this important task. How could he not do his best?

After hearing what Liu Xie and Zhuge Liang said, Guo Jia smiled relievedly, as if he had taken off a thousand pounds of burden and fell asleep.

He was so tired.

Liu Xie reached out to explore Guo Jia's breath and found that although it was very weak, it still existed, so he felt relieved.

Just be alive.

Liu Xie gently put his hand down and carefully stuffed the cushion for him, and then got up and left the inner hall.

The ministers followed closely and came to the front hall together.

After Liu Xie walked to the dragon throne and sat down, he said nothing, and the ministers lowered their heads and refused to speak. The hall was terrible quiet.

In the end, Jia Xu took a step forward, broke the silence and said, "Your Majesty, what should I do next?"

He knew that Liu Xie was upset now, but at this time the emperor was the backbone and everyone needed to obey the emperor's orders.

Liu Xie stroked a jade ring on his thumb, and slowly stood up and said, "Call the officials--"

"Ascend to the morning!"

...

Guo Jia fell ill, and Liu Xie did not delay the reform of the imperial examination system.

He held a court meeting on the same day and officially announced to the civil and military officials that the system of recommendation that the imperial examination system was abolished and replaced by the imperial examination system.

Many ministers in the court opposed this decision made by Liu Xie, and the leaders were naturally all-time families.

But Liu Xie showed his domineering side for a long time and suppressed all the opposition.

Guo Jia doesn’t know how long he can live. Now time is Guo Jia’s life, and he doesn’t want to waste any more time.

He wants his true arm to fulfill his dream before he dies and see the success of this reform.

Soon, the news was centered on Chang'an and spread to all parts of the world like the wind.

Countless scholars cheered after learning about this!

Although the imperial court's orthodox path of taking office has become declining in recent years, its status is still unshakable.

As long as the court does not abolish it for a day, it will still be a mountain that is pressing above all the scholars!

But now, the emperor has officially announced the abolition of the system of recommendation and the imperial examination system and replaced it with the system of imperial examination, which means that their new study has become orthodox!

The significance is so great that words are difficult to express.

At the same time, as this news spread, the court will hold a spring examination and palace examination in Chang'an.

The original promotion path for Imperial College was to go to middle school in primary school, middle school to university, and then pass the exam to enter Imperial College.

Overall, it was not difficult to enter the Imperial College before.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Because the court needed to cultivate a large number of educational talents, it spread to schools in various parts of the Han Dynasty to cultivate the seeds of study.

Therefore, the policy of wide entry and wide exit has been adopted before.

However, starting from this spring examination, the Imperial College will adopt the policy of strict entry and exit and begin to cultivate real high-end talents.

The specific examination charter for Guo Jia and the others have already drafted it.

If you want to enter the Imperial College, you must be on the list in the spring exam, and only 300 people are screened every year.

This is just the condition for entering the Imperial College.

After entering the Imperial College, after three years of study, you have to pass a round of exams before you can graduate.

The top twenty of them will be met by the emperor in person and will be given a school entrance exam. This is called the palace examination.

The first place in the palace examination was awarded the title of top scholar, the first-class plaque of the imperial examination, the first-class archway of the top scholar, and the honor of the top scholar, and the honor of the top scholar, allowing the glory of parade in Chang'an to be reported to the world, and will be recorded in the history of the Han Dynasty forever.

The second and third places in the palace examination are also awarded the titles of No. 1 and Tanhua, and can parade with the top scorer, and the spring exam and the palace examination will be held together every year.

After this news spread, all the scholars in the world were in full bloom!

The No. 1 pick, what a glory!

Why do scholars all over the world study hard? To shine the lintel! In order to be a farmer in the morning, he will ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening!

Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature, but the imperial examination has given the first place, that is, the top scorer in the palace examination!

As long as you can win the top scorer, you will be the first among all scholars, and will be directly recorded in the history of the Han Dynasty and directly into the cabinet!

Glory your family, keep your name in history, govern the country and safeguard the people!

Three wishes are satisfied at one time!

Which literati can reject such an honor?

Many students who have graduated from the Imperial College have expressed regret and are so envious of the scholars today and future.

They graduate too early, and if they can give them a chance, they will definitely compete for this title!

In addition to the Imperial College, the selection mechanisms of the Royal Military Academy of the Han Dynasty are also similar, and there are also spring examinations and palace examinations, and the first name of the palace examination is the top martial arts scholar.

However, Wen Zhuangyuan attracted more attention.

"The palace examination! And the top 20 scholars in the school are personally examined by His Majesty. Wouldn't that mean that we can all become disciples of the emperor?"

"The emperor's disciple! The emperor's disciple!"

"Your Majesty nods his title as the top scholar and is able to join the cabinet to assist in the affairs of the government. What an honor!"

"Be a farmer in the morning, and ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening, govern the country and keep peace in the world. This is the ideal of our literati!"

"I must win the first place!"

"But I heard that the difficulty of the spring exam is different from the past, and the palace exam is even more difficult."

"So what's the difficulty? I have to fight for it too!"

...

For a time, scholars from all over the world who were admitted to universities rushed to Chang'an. Some scholars were not qualified for the exam, but also rushed to participate in this world-renowned grand event.

The filthiness of the past is not worth praising.

Today, I have no limits to my thoughts.

The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are fast,

See all the flowers in Chang'an in one day!

This short poem tells the romantic and pursuit in the hearts of all scholars.

Who doesn’t want to be on the Golden List in the Spring Examination and Palace Examination, shines the family and rise to the top? This is the dream of all students!

Chang'an City is already very prosperous.

Because of the arrival of the Spring Examination, the flow of people in Chang'an City has increased a lot, and all inns are full of living.

Young students can be seen everywhere on the street, while the bosses of major brothels and pleasure boats in Chang'an were smiling.

Because which student who came to take the exam didn’t have much money?

Moreover, most scholars like to have romantic and fun, and it is very common to call friends out together.

However, there are still many students staying in the inn to continue to review and prepare for the exam that will be held soon.

"Ji Chang, don't stay in the room and read books."

"I heard that there were more than a dozen new girls coming to the Shangbi Pavilion, and there was also a courtesan who was good at singing music. Let's take a look together, I'll treat you!"

A young man stood at the door of the room and invited another young student in the room with a bit of white eyebrows.

However, the latter just sighed when he heard this and said helplessly: "I don't like going to places like brothels, so you should go and play."

"But I think you should calm down, Youchang, the spring exam is about to come, so you should prepare well."

These two are the two brothers of the Ma family.

One is Ma Liang and the other is Ma Su.

Before Ma Liang finished speaking, Ma Su smiled disdainfully: "It's just a spring exam, not a palace examination. It's not a good example for me?"

"I will definitely enter the Royal Military Academy of the Han Dynasty. You can prepare for the graduation exam. I'm leaving."

Ma Su has just graduated from university and is here to participate in the spring exam this time.

Ma Liang is already a student of the Imperial College. This time he took the graduation exam of the Imperial College, and his ultimate goal is to get the top 20 and enter the palace examination.

After Ma Su finished speaking, he turned around and left, calling on others to go out for fun together.

Looking at his leaving figure, Ma Liang, who was left in the room, smiled bitterly, his expression a little complicated.

Ma Su can be relaxed, but he can't.

The competition for the Imperial College graduation exam this time is too great, and countless talents will compete for the qualification to enter the palace examination and compete for the top three.

But he had to compete.

Because Ma's family was implicated by Ma Chao's rebellion, although they were not punished by the emperor, their reputation was greatly damaged.

Especially after Ma Teng's death a few years ago, the Ma family declined and could no longer occupy a place in the court.

So he must achieve outstanding performance in the palace examination.

Thus revitalizing the Ma family!

Thinking of this, Ma Liang's expression became more and more firm. After retracting his thoughts, he prepared to close the door and go back to continue reading and reviewing.

However, at this moment, a white-robed scholar suddenly walked past his door with a stack of books in his arms, one of which fell to the ground without any notice.

"Brother, wait a moment, your book has dropped..."

Ma Liang noticed this scene, bent down and picked up the book and shouted to the scholar.
