Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 367: Should I appoint the eldest son as the heir? Or should I appoint the most capable one? Which is better?

In the evening, after having dinner at Liu's house, Pan Shan saw Li An and Yang Tao off.

Pan Shan has been living with the Liu family since he came to Bianjing.

"Brother Zilian, let me see you off." Li An said.

"No need to bother. The ox cart in Bianjing is very convenient. I can just take the ox cart back. If you want to take me out of the city, I'm afraid the city gate will be closed when I come back."

Yang Tao rejected Li An's kindness and waited for a while for an ox cart to arrive. Then he said goodbye and got on the ox cart.

Li An watched Yang Tao go away, looked at Pan Shan and said, "Brother, is what you said before true or false?"

"The teacher said before that Yang Wuzuan's matter is a taboo for the officials. They don't want to hear anyone mention it. Those who want to use this to please the officials are people in high positions. Those who can hold high positions, some How many are fools?”

On this day, after school, the next day was for rest.

Although the official family has never agreed, they are now facing increasing pressure, and there is still no concubine in the harem to conceive an heir, so they are already frustrated.

The general meaning of this sentence is that when Gongyi Zhongzi's legitimate son died, he did not appoint his legitimate grandson as his heir, but instead designated his concubine as his heir.

As soon as the official said this, many people in the court who were still watching began to line up one after another.

However, just when the class was over, Zhuang Xuexue informed that because the examination was approaching, the rest for the next three months would be cancelled, which caused everyone to wail.

"You also know Wan'er's situation. She is just a concubine. Our senior brother is convinced and neither of us cares about her very much. If the teacher doesn't help her settle the marriage, I am afraid that our senior brother will find a wealthy family at will. Married." Pan Shan said.

Li An nodded. They had known each other for many years. Although he was Liu Waner's elder, there was actually not much age difference between them. He had always regarded Liu Waner as his younger sister.

Many officials in the DPRK saw the hidden dangers in this. Every time they went to court in the morning, someone proposed to establish a crown prince.

He said goodbye to Pan Shan and took the carriage back.

Of course, there are still some very calm people who are not eager to take sides.

After everyone packed up their things, they left the school together.

Regardless of whether he likes it or not, now that Zhuang Xuexue has said this, there is no room for change.

Xuexue Zhuang nodded with satisfaction and left the school.

This is also the reason why Li An and the others feel tired.

In the past year, nothing major happened.

"Senior brother should know Brother Zilian's origins, right?" Li An asked.

Although the Yang family is not at the top in Yangzhou, it is not a small family either.

"Is there such a thing?" Li An was a little surprised when he heard this.

Because the exam is approaching, Li An and the others' study intensity is also increasing.

However, when Zhuang Xuexue said that Xiu Mu was cancelled, he did not say that they would not be included.

"Education is also for our own good. When the examination is over, whether it is good or not, we will have time to rest." Sheng Changbai said.

Time flies, and it’s June next year in a blink of an eye. There are only more than three months left before the exam.

Pan Shan was startled, and quickly understood what Li An meant, and said, "Wan'er asked me about Zi Lian many times before, but the changes have been so big, what do you think?"

Even if they don't take sides, no matter who sits on the throne, they will not benefit at most, and it will not affect their current status.

Moreover, with so many people joining the two princes, the losing side will definitely face purge. Maybe they can get benefits even if they don't take sides.

……

Xiu Mu and the others can also relax for a while.

The next day at Shengjia Academy, no one dared to be late, no matter how much they complained yesterday.

"You are worrying too much. If the teacher really cared about this, he wouldn't have let Zi Lian come and study with him. The official family is not that small. If the entire Yang family was implicated because of Yang Wutuo, how would the Yang family be today?"

They know very well that Conglong Zhigong is not so good at gambling, and one bad thing is that the family will be destroyed.

As usual, Xuexue Zhuang closed his eyes and turned over the books in the first class, allowing the students to debate.

……

"Learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. You have studied hard for several years in order to be named on the gold list. No matter how hard it is, you have to endure it. Although you are all young and will still have opportunities in the future, you cannot relax." Zhuang Xuexue said.

Finally he relented and said that after the imperial examination is over, the candidate for the crown prince will be decided.

On Sanlan's side, Rulan and Sheng Changfeng hated this. After all, they didn't need to take part in the imperial examination.

Therefore, for Li An, studying for the imperial examination is the most important thing, and everything else must be ranked behind the imperial examination.

"Wan'er thought that no one knew about her little thoughts. Teacher Apocalypse and his wife saw it, but they were a little happy about it." Pan Shan said with a smile.

Since Liu Xuewen and his wife already know this and are not opposed to it and are not worried about Yang Tao's identity, Li An has nothing to worry about.

Zhuang Xuexue stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "This question is appropriate for the occasion. Today's topic is: Is it better to establish a direct descendant? Is it better to establish a virtuous person?"

These have little to do with Li An. For Li An, even if Zhao Zongquan does not come to Beijing and cannot become emperor, and he has refused to be wooed by Prince Yong and Prince Yan before, even if they are angry, as long as they can be named on the gold list, they will not be able to win at most. Just be reused.

After the examination, Zhuang Xuexue did this every day. After the New Year, he asked them to write an article every two days.

Today, Zhuang Xuexue took "Confucius' Family Sayings". He closed his eyes and flipped through it casually. He pointed at the book and opened his eyes.

The rest of the people were all people with strong minds. Although they couldn't sleep and were not very happy, they didn't say anything.

Yang Tao has extraordinary knowledge and is promising for the imperial examination. If Liu Waner can marry Yang Tao, it will indeed be a good choice.

The two men each attracted a large number of officials, and the fights between them continued, causing chaos.

It's nothing more than being sent to serve as an official in a remote area without putting his life in danger.

Coupled with the stress in my heart, it can be very tiring.

"Zi Qian, are you worried that Zi Lian is Yang Wu Tuan's nephew and the teacher won't agree?" Pan Shan asked.

The children in the family have been studying, but they have never been awarded a Jinshi.

Li An nodded. Apart from Yang Tao's identity as Yang Wuduan's nephew, there were some hidden dangers.

It's just that the duel between King Yan and King Yong has almost been brought to the surface.

"I tried to persuade Zi Lian when I was in Yangzhou. However, the authorities were confused. Zi Lian and his grandfather always believed that if Zi Lian participated in the imperial examination, someone would target him in order to please the officials."

What he turned to turned out to be Qu Li Gong Xi Chi Wen, and he pointed to one of the sentences, "Gongyi Zhongzi's legitimate son died and his younger brother was established."

"I was still thinking about having a good sleep and rest tomorrow, but I didn't expect that my bath was cancelled." Sheng Changfeng sighed.

This approach is quite controversial in the book.

"Students, please remember the teachings of academics." Everyone stood up and said.

But if he fails the exam, no matter who sits on the throne, he will not get the slightest benefit.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this issue.

Now that the battle between King Yong and King Yan is on the table, the official said that they will decide on the candidate for the crown prince after the joint examination. Therefore, this topic is considered the hottest topic in Bianjing, and even the discussion of the joint examination has been covered up. pass.
