On January 20, the fifth year of Yonghui, there were more than 10,000 students from all over the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an. This should be the largest number of students from the scientific examination since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and among the more than 10,000 students in poor families accounted for the majority.

Under the care of Li You, these poor students will not have to worry about food, drink, or live... After arriving in Chang'an, they will be taken to a building specially built by Li You for poor students.

There are various books in it that can satisfy the viewing of poor students. Here you can wait for the imperial examinations to start without worry and truly study with peace of mind.

Unlike before, when poor students came to Chang'an, they had no intention of studying at all, but had to attend various literary gatherings endlessly, in order to invest in banking papers or gain a reputation.

Only after fame can your journey to the imperial examination be smoother.

The facts have already led the imperial examination astray, and now Li You finally corrected this astray, which will make the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty more formal. Of course, Li You don’t know what will happen to the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

We all know that Wu Zetian also proposed the system of fame. Of course, the system of fame proposed by Wu Zetian was more selfish. Because she was a woman and became an emperor, she criticized a lot, so she had to seek "one of her own people". The behavior of aristocratic families was not conducive to her finding supporters!

In this regard, Wu Zetian implemented a small measure to make the name system.

This system of miscellaneous names makes it difficult for aristocratic families to judge candidates through the test paper, and they cannot favor them! Before this, if a poor family wants to achieve good results, they can only rely on three points: (1) the examiner is upright, (2) luck, (3) the score is too amazing and the strength is too strong! But after Wu Zetian implemented the method of miscellaneous names, the poor family can compete with the aristocratic families more fairly!

Obviously, this method makes the aristocratic families suffer because they cannot monopolize the officialdom. Without official protection, the aristocratic families will be difficult to maintain their glory and wealth. On the contrary, poor families can use this method to "jump the dragon gate", so this trick makes poor families happy!

However, this famous system lost in the end. It was very good when Wu Zetian was used. However, after Wu Zetian left, the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty once again flourished in the middle and late Tang Dynasty through the imperial examinations.

Especially in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, where the aristocratic families were re-emerging, the secret operation reached an amazing level. Even before the imperial examination began, the examiner had already ranked the winners.

Even a great struggle between the Niu Li Party and the children of the Han clan broke out, which shows the rise of the power of the aristocratic family.

Later, a rebellion leader named Huang Chao appeared. Although Huang Chao was full of talent, his background as a private salt dealer could not be seen by the examiner at all. Therefore, Huang Chao failed to take the exam many times. In a fit of anger, Huang Chao directly gave up the imperial examination and joined the great cause of rebellion.

However, the injustice of the imperial examination made Huang Chao feel resentful and made him hate the aristocratic families who manipulated the imperial examination. Therefore, during the peasant uprising army led by Huang Chao to fight against the north and south, they killed the children of these aristocratic families without going anywhere.

Especially after Huang Chao conquered Luoyang and Chang'an, he even launched a large-scale killing of the bureaucratic aristocratic groups of the Tang Dynasty. The family of Cui, Lu and others, who were among the five surnames and seven surnames, were directly destroyed by Huang Chao's army.

Because after the Middle Tang Dynasty, most of the elite children of these aristocratic families gradually moved to the vicinity of the two capitals to facilitate communication and entry into the government. However, this gathering also brought them a catastrophe.

The poem says: The embroidered hubs in the Huaxuan are all broken, and there is no one in the armored and the rich doors. The inner treasury is burned into brocade ashes, and the sky streets are covered with the bones of the ministers.

The essence of the aristocratic families was slaughtered, and even if some of them survived, they would no longer be as powerful as before. Therefore, the aristocratic families who once monopolized the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty eventually fell apart.

Compared with the limited reforms that Wu Zetian needed to use the power of aristocratic families to consolidate his rule, Huang Chao's uprising was considered a riot among the lower class!

The purpose of their uprising was to overthrow these big men who were pressing on their heads. Therefore, these people not only did not win over these aristocratic families, but instead regarded them as the main targets of their own attacks.

For Huang Chao, this is a confrontation between the two classes, so naturally it will not be warm and bloody! Compared with reform, the riots of the lower class people will undoubtedly be more thorough in the attack on the aristocratic races.

Therefore, the Huang Chao Uprising completely destroyed the power of the aristocratic families. The chaotic times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms followed, and the war that lasted for more than a hundred years also wiped out the last trace of the aristocratic families.

At this point, the aristocratic families that have been prosperous since the Eastern Han Dynasty eventually went to perish with the destruction of the Tang Dynasty and were destroyed in the long river of history...!

Li You did not have the courage of Huang Chao, so he could not kill all the aristocratic families. He was just using his own means to influence future generations. What stage of Li You's influence is not something Li You considered.

Li You could only consider that he wanted the current poor students of the Tang Dynasty to be promoted step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step. He wanted to build a gentry class in this era, so that the gentry class could be used to restrict those aristocratic classes.

Li You's wish is good, but to be honest, it is still unknown whether it can be realized.

During the fifth year of Yonghui, there were 76 poor Jinshis, and 23 children from aristocratic families. These 23 children from aristocratic families were also capable. The previous idiot nobles could not join the ranks of Jinshi.

As a result of the palace examination, the top scholar and Tanhua were both from poor families, and the second-place student was a child of a noble family. In fact, Li You also knew that the talent of that noble family was no weaker than that of the poor family. However, in order to attack the noble family, Li You still signaled Li Zhi to promote the poor family to the top scholar.

After the subject was over, Li Zhi had more than 100 disciples of the emperor. At this moment, Li Zhi's power arose, and four forces began to appear in the court.

This first force was the old ministers led by Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang.

The second force is the Demon Queen Party headed by Wu Zhaoyi.

The third force is Emperor Li Zhi's disciple party.

The fourth force is Li You's previous dynasty Duke Party.

For a moment, there were many new schools. You should know that this is not a good thing. There are so many new parties in a court, which is not a good thing for the officials of the Tang Dynasty, which will make the officials of the Tang Dynasty feel embarrassed.

So it is not a good thing to have too many forces.

Then Li You did something that surprised everyone, and then Li You directly resigned all his positions in the court, Tang Jian, Yuchi Gong, and Cheng Yaojin also resigned from their positions in the court one after another.

The Duke Party of the former dynasty ended, and all former members became Li Zhi's disciples. Since then, the Tang Dynasty began to have a three-legged stalemate!
