Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 111 The Heroes of the World Have Entered My Table (1)

Although the Sui Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty, it was a dynasty that made a difference in politics, economy and culture.

It not only ended the [-]-year-long division of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but also achieved the second national unification in Chinese history, and dug the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that runs through the north and south.

In particular, the abolition of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, which used family status to select scholars, was replaced by the imperial examination system, which also played a role in strengthening imperial power.

The Tang inherited the Sui system and gradually completed the imperial examination system. As early as the fifth year of Wude, the master of Da'an Palace issued an election decree: to select talents and appoint talents, the key to saving the people; to promote talents and scholars, and to offer good rules .

Since ancient times, Zhe Wang has interpreted strings and winds, and set up officials and divisions of duties, only talents and talents.However, the caves are secluded, the grass is secluded and rough, surrounded by brown pearls, and there is no reason to reach it.

The act of selecting people with real capital is based on the tolerance of left and right... The way of recruitment should be to change the past disadvantages, to punish and persuade, to add constant style, to have talent, to be valuable at the right time, to be clean and to be on the court, and to be self-sufficient Enter.

It is advisable to order the officials of the fifth grade or above in the capital, the governors of the states, and the governors of the states to each hold one person.He has aspirations and deeds that can be recorded, but he has not applied for it, and he also listens to bootstrapping.Chen Yi can be promoted, and should not be awarded. ..."

This means that regardless of family background, as long as you can pass the exam, you can be awarded an official, which can be regarded as setting a low tone for the imperial examination.

There are also many subjects in the imperial examination, and the permanent subjects mainly include Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, and Mingshu.As for the examination methods, there are as many as five kinds, namely, oral examination, scripture posting, Mo Yi, policy theory, and poetry and prose.

It doesn't matter if there are too many exams, there are so many etiquettes to abide by, which also makes Li Chengqian, who came to review with the emperor, really have a headache.

But he also admired Xiao Yu who was stroking his gray beard next to him from the bottom of his heart. Although the old man had a bad temper, his knowledge in this area was indeed not comparable to that of others.

Seeing the students filing in under the organization of the officials, Li Shimin said proudly: "The heroes of the world have entered my nest."

"In the fifth year of Wude, the old minister presided over Qiu Wei. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was just established, and there were very few students in the examination room.

But this year is different, it can be said that there are so many talents.It can be seen that His Majesty's hard work in the past few years has not been in vain. "

Xiao Yu is smelly and tough, and it is indeed harder to hear good things from him than the sun rises in the west.Li Shimin was really comfortable with this flattery, and he waved his hands again and again.

"Sigh, Shiwen is over-reputed. Reviewing papers on knowledge volumes is a talent for the country. Xiao Shiwen is the number one in the world. He really deserves to be a great Confucian in my dynasty."

Everyone carried the sedan chair. Although Li Shimin was the emperor, he still understood the principles of life, and the ministers around him also followed suit.

This situation is not right, from Li Chengqian's point of view, Xiao Yu is a stubborn donkey, he can't walk and retreat, if he was able to lose his position like today?

Oh, I see, Xiao Yu has a plan.During the Northern Expedition, his sister Empress Xiao was suppressed and sent directly to Li Shimin's harem.The old man wanted to make the emperor happy so that he could get his sister back.

As for the emperor, he also pretended not to understand, so he laughed along.Regarding his father's problem, Li Chengqian couldn't help but have a headache.An old lady half buried in the earth, how beautiful it can be.

This is not the first time, from Princess Qi to Li Yuan's Ai Ji, this time it is Empress Xiao's turn.No wonder those aristocratic families always ridiculed that the Li family was the crystallization of the Hu and Han families. The inferiority of the nomads would not make people laugh.

After tossing for a long time, the emperor's vanity was finally satisfied, and Li Chengqian dragged his sick body back to the East Palace. When Zhang Xuansu arrived at the study, the imperial doctor happened to give Li Chengqian his pulse.

"Your Highness, it's not that the old minister is nagging, you don't want to fight in person in the future, if something goes wrong, it will shake the foundation of the country."

Ever since Li Chengqian came back, every time Zhang Xuansu had to scold him a few words, this time he even met the imperial doctor asking for pulse, so naturally he was preaching.Li Chengqian knew the old master's kindness, so every time he bowed down to be taught.

"Your Highness, the Gong Yuan and his party are going well today."

"This is the first time I have seen the students take the exam, but seeing the large number of students, it shows the students' heart to serve the king and serve the country. Father and Elder Xiao are still deeply moved."

The Northern Expedition got too much limelight. The reason why the emperor asked him to preside over the military sacrifice was, on the one hand, to prevent Li Jing from becoming bigger, and on the other hand, he had no intention of warning him.So Li Chengqian will not express his position easily no matter what it is when he returns to the court this time.

"Um, does Your Highness know the Tongbang and Xingjuan?"

"I know a thing or two about this, master just say what you want." Judging from the appearance of the old man Qiqi Ai Ai, there must be something wrong with this.

Li Chengqian still knew a little about Zhang Xuansu's general list and travel volume, and many literati and inkmen used these two methods to become officials and become famous.

The so-called Tongbang, that is, the examiner makes a "Bangpai" based on the students' reputation among the people, and sometimes appoints a special person to conduct this kind of interview. refer to.

The so-called running volume is that before the exam, students choose the best poems and proses they usually write into a book, and present them to dignitaries and aristocrats, in order to ask them to appreciate them and recommend them to the examiners.

There are also students who directly submit papers to the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province, which is in charge of the examination, called provincial papers, also known as public papers, for the examiners' reference.

"Your Highness, this list is already a little watery. The nobles rely on their status, the rich rely on their wealth, and the relatives rely on their affection. But recently there is a person named Xue Zi who accepts it. As long as he is willing to spend money, he can Help people classify as armor."

This is interesting, you can buy it with money, so what the hell is there to test, how about holding an auction directly?

The country spends so much manpower and material resources just to select talents for governing the country.Now it has become a way for some people to make a fortune. What is the difference between this and selling officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Pa, Li Chengqian smashed the teacup in his hand, and then said angrily: "What is this Xue Zishou, what do you take the country's laws for? He is an official of that ministry."

"Your Highness, this Xue Zishou is just a small doctor in the Ministry of Rites. I heard that he has just engaged in a marriage with Xiao Yu's youngest daughter. And it hasn't been announced yet. What if he is arrested now and he denies it."

The old man is right. Now that he is going to arrest someone, he will startle the snake, and later he will cheat money if he says it. What can you do to him?

When it comes to Xiao Yu, Li Chengqian understands that it must be that kid Li Tai who is tricked again.The reason why the old man didn't want to say it was because Li Tai was the opponent of Donggong, and helping him would be disloyal to him.

But this is related to the country's community, and it is impossible not to say it, which really puts the old master in a dilemma for a while.

"Master Zhang, I understand your concerns, it is likely that someone is plotting against Qing Que.

Some things need to be dealt with earlier, and it will be even worse when the matter is revealed to His Majesty. Do you think Cen Wenwen can't see it?I heard that his nephew is also in this subject. "

"I will go see Your Majesty in a while."
