Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 617

Over the years in Chunwei, the chief examiners selected by the imperial court were all masters of the world, and they were able to write eloquent and flowery articles. This kind of examination was extremely simple for them, and the candidates racked their brains to follow the rules. The examiner's preferences come to write the article.

There are good and bad articles. Li Chengqian has read all the papers over the years. There are not many practical articles, and flattering ones can be seen everywhere. In his eyes, most of the articles are nonsense.It is also a piece of waste paper pasted at the gate of the yamen. The officials are tired of seeing such routines, and the common people still can't understand them, so the officials and articles are useless.

Yesterday, the emperor and his father had a long talk about this issue, and Li Chengqian asked the emperor why the memorandum presented below was only responsible for raising questions.

They are the most direct parties involved in the incident. Why can't they propose the most direct solution while raising the problem? Instead, the court spent a lot of manpower and financial resources on this. Whether this matter can be resolved in the future is still a question unknown number.

If they can present the solution to the problem together, can they get the effect of brainstorming? Most of the chapters simply need to weigh the pros and cons, and it can also reduce the mistakes in decision-making and save a lot of trouble.

In Li Chengqian's view, officials did this not because they were lazy, nor because they had no choice, but because they had a deep understanding of the Confucian doctrine of the mean, and they didn't want to show off too much and arouse the taboo of their superiors, so they developed a book Half of the memorials are bad habits of nonsense.

To solve this problem, we not only need to change the existing submission procedures, but also need to make some changes in the imperial examination.Let the scholars all over the world know that people who can help the court solve problems are what our Tang Dynasty needs. As for their colorful articles, they should be thrown into the cesspool!

Of course, changing the regulations of the examination on a temporary basis, the difficulty of the imperial examination will be higher than in previous years, and the number of people who fail the examination will be much more than before. Those nonsense articles written fooled the court and delayed the people.

Wang Zhi has been in the officialdom for nearly 20 years. Of course he knows the disadvantages. There is no way to do it. The rules of the officialdom have been like this for many years, and he has gotten used to it over time.

In local state capitals, there are many hard-working officials, and they suffer from it. They can’t even produce a good article. Then you will never be promoted to this official. Rhetoric!
"His Royal Highness, it is not impossible to try to change it. I am a criminal officer, and there is no problem in anti-corruption trials, but I have never come across such a thing as a talent ceremony!"

Wang Zhi has been in the East Palace for many years, and his master can come up with all kinds of weird tricks. Today he came to tell himself a lot, if Wang Zhi still obeys orders and doesn't understand what it means, he might as well find a big tree It can be killed directly.

"Old Wang, what did you say? What's wrong with the criminal officer? Since we want to select officials who do practical things, the examiner must choose people who do practical things. You have been an official in the state capital for many years and have rich experience at the grassroots level. What? Can such a person be qualified as a magistrate, and still escape your discernment?"

After taking a sip of tea, Li Chengqian pointed to him and continued: "You are right in saying that experience is very important. This year, Chu Suiliang, Minister of Rites, will be your deputy. With his assistance, I guarantee that you will be successful this year." of."

Wang Zhi's illness has not healed quickly, so Li Chengqian recommended to the emperor Chu Suiliang, who is experienced, to come out to handle specific affairs. He was exhausted.

Although that guy Cui Shu is a swinger, he was born in a family and was nurtured by the officials in his family since he was a child. not big.

It is definitely a great grace to be able to preside over a spring for the imperial court. It is absolutely impossible for someone who is not a scholar or a holy family to get such a beautiful job. Wang Zhi believes that there must be people rushing to do such a light and humane job. So doing this is completely taking care of my weak body.

"His Royal Highness, alas, what can you tell me to say, I can't repay your kindness to me even if I am smashed to pieces!" After finishing speaking, Wang Zhi bowed to the ground, and Changji couldn't afford it!

"Okay, okay, this is your house, what are you doing with so much etiquette! If you make such a big deal, if you startle my sister-in-law, it will be a lonely sin. Come, come, get up."

Li Chengqian helped Wang Zhi up, patted him on the shoulder, then walked to the door, looked at the weedy courtyard, and continued: "In the past, there were many taboos of solitary, and I always turned a blind eye to the selection of officials." If you close your eyes, you are afraid that someone will grab your braids and make it difficult for His Majesty to explain it to you."

"But through the long conversation with His Majesty yesterday, Gu suddenly became enlightened. There are some things, even if you don't do them, there are still people who will find fault with you. Since His Majesty trusts Gu so much, why should Gu be restrained?

Just like what you said, there was a bloody battle in the southwest alone, but there is no one in the court who wants to take the opportunity to bring down our East Palace. If this is the case, why don't you just choose batches of new ones for the Tang Dynasty? Officials, speed up the elimination! "

Hearing what the prince said, Wang Zhi hurriedly nodded. Some people just can't see the good of others. Their eyes can only see what others have gained, and they will never see how much blood and sweat they have paid for it.

Take the crown prince as an example, Yu Guo has made a lot of contributions, and he is always respectful and frugal, and he is a corporal, but such a prince, no matter what he does not get the approval of those people, he always tries to find faults.

Even if the crown prince falls, those few princes will be the ones who will succeed, and those guys are all foolish characters. Even if they become emperors, will the ministers who help them play tricks and schemes end well? ,Maybe not!Isn't it sick to let the orthodoxy go without assistance and follow them around?

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will select a group of hard-working officials for the imperial court, so that these young people can clean up the atmosphere in the officialdom. Your Highness, can I also choose some for our East Palace through Chunwei? The shop is getting bigger and bigger, but there are always not enough people, everyone can't wait for one person to be two servants, it will not be a problem in the long run!"

After turning around and looking at Wang Zhi, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile, this guy's brain is turning fast enough!Then he replied lightly, "You have the right to use it, and it will become invalid after the expiration date. You can decide for yourself! It's getting late, so I won't delay your rest, so I'll go back to the palace first!".
