The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 521

"Your Majesty, this year's spring is about to begin." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands and said.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "Although Chunwei was able to select a group of useful talents at the beginning, after all, they still have to pass the assessment of the Ministry of Officials, and then stay in Chang'an to sharpen them before they can be transferred to local governments. There is no rush for this matter."

Now the last exam in Chunwei, the so-called examiner's right is still with the Ministry of Officials, and the imperial examination at the heyday of the imperial examination has not yet appeared. When the imperial examination appeared, it was only after Li Zhi died and Wu Zhao became the throne. With the Palace Examination and the Martial Examination, it can be said that the imperial examination originated in the Sui Dynasty, developed in Zhenguan, and was perfected when Wu Zhao was in power.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea."

"tell me the story."

His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing, how fresh, this child will give himself advice.

"Your Majesty, I feel that after the Spring Festival, your majesty may personally conduct the examination in the Tai Chi Hall." Xuan Shijing said, "In this way, the Jinshi who pass the examination can be regarded as half of the disciples of the Son of Heaven."

It has to be said that Xuan Shijing's words are still attractive to His Majesty Li Er. Most of the candidates who came to Chang'an City for the exam over the years are students from poor families. If these aristocratic families are linked, if the assessment of the official department is cancelled, and the emperor directly conducts the examination in the Taiji Hall, then in this way, talents can also be close to the water.

"Keep talking." His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing, and from his expression, it was obvious that he hadn't finished what he should say.

"Yes, His Majesty asks for advice in the Tai Chi Hall. First, it will be convenient for His Majesty to understand the level of the students. Second, it will be convenient for His Majesty to appoint and dispatch court officials. Different talents are suitable for different places, and the art of war should be tailored to local conditions. The time is favorable, and I feel that His Majesty should appoint officials for the same reason." Xuan Shijing said.

Although this is said on the surface, it is indeed a point of view to His Majesty Li Er, that is, it is aimed at Changzhou. In other words, His Majesty Li Er can use the things in Changzhou to gradually discover a way to reduce the power of the aristocratic family.

"It makes sense, let me think about it. Although what you said is simple, the scholars selected by Chunwei are finally tested by the official department. This is the rule that has lasted for many years, and it is not just a few words It can be changed." His Majesty Li Er said thoughtfully.

To be honest, His Majesty Li Er is very satisfied with Xuan Shijing's Tai Chi Palace questioning strategy, and is also very moved, but if you directly order to do so in the court, you can imagine the resistance you will encounter. Once the decree is promulgated, the officials of Chang'an City will know what the purpose of His Majesty Li Er is. The high-ranking officials of the aristocratic family rely on the relationship households to operate in the court. Now His Majesty Li Er wants to do this. How reconciled they are with their network, so they will try their best to persuade them.

"I heard that you cut off the legs of two young servants in the street in Fuzhengfang. Tell me what happened." His Majesty Li Er asked, "And you said that you released the businessman from Changzhou?" thing to go."

The matter of the Chunwei Palace Examination will not be settled for a while, so it is useless for His Majesty Li Er to be entangled here, so he simply ignores him for the time being. Xuan Shijing came to the palace today to report the case of Chang'an City to him I'm a little confused, it's better to ask clearly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, when I was in Daozhengfang today, I walked into my house and found two people sneaking behind me, so I asked my subordinates to arrest those two people. I woke up, but the attitude of those two people towards the minister was extremely bad, and they even poured dirty water on Mr. Wang Gui. That Mr. Wang spent most of his life upright and upright, so how could he send two Xiao Xiaoxiao to follow a Lord Marquis of Datang, so The minister ordered someone to deal with those two little thieves, and he was a little bit harsher, just to warn them not to slander the court officials at will." Xuan Shijing said the set of rhetoric he had prepared. Let Majesty Li Er go down.

"Hmph." His Majesty Li Er didn't speak, but just snorted coldly.

As for what was going on, His Majesty Li Er didn't know much about it. After all, after Xuan Shijing entered Xiaoer Xianzhuang, the people of Baiqisi were blind.

So far, no one from Baiqisi has been infiltrated in Xiao Er Xian Zhuang, so what happened in Xiao Er Xian Zhuang, His Majesty Li Er has no idea.

"What's the matter with that businessman? Where is he now? Jing'er, there is no criminal. You can't handle this case." His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing with burning eyes.

Whether it is the crux of the case or His Majesty Li Er's next step to target the family, the criminal in Changzhou must be the trigger. Now that Xuan Shijing said that he released the businessman, His Majesty Li Er does not know what to do next go away.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I feel that the businessman has been forced into a hurry. He has no choice but to get to the bottom of it. The fault lies with our court officials." Xuan Shijing argued: "So, I feel that no matter whether the case can If the case cannot be closed, the businessman is actually not the most important thing to the case, what is important is the officials in Changzhou who committed the crime." Xuan Shijing changed the subject and once again brought the topic to the collusion between officials and businessmen in Changzhou on the officials.

The businessman is not guilty of death, but it is inevitable that he will be imprisoned. His Majesty Li Er knows this very well. Therefore, His Majesty Li Er thinks that Xuan Shijing let the businessman go because he is afraid that the businessman will be punished by those officials after he goes to court. It never occurred to him that this criminal was the orphan of the Shan family back then.

"Forget it, now that the whole story has been found out, then the case in the eastern suburbs can be closed. After you go back, write the case as a memorial, and let Dai Zhou submit it when you go to court tomorrow morning. Even if you do so in the end The credit will be less, but it is enough to protect yourself, and you should not do things that are too showy. Anyway, you have gained a lot of limelight in Chang'an these two days." His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said: "Retire .”

"Yes." Xuan Shijing bowed in response, then turned around and came out of the Ganlu Hall.

It must be known that if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and it will be easily broken if it is too rigid. His Majesty Li Er is right. Now Xuan Shijing has not yet reached the top. Such a limelight is very dangerous for Xuan Shijing.

Therefore, Xuan Shijing planned to stay in the mansion honestly after passing this case, even if he was a dandy, anyway, Shenhou Mansion is not on the right track now, after this case, his reputation has also been established. .
