The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 190 The Exam Controversy

The news that the eldest princess and the little prince stayed at the Yi Family Academy for a day eventually spread like wildfire, adding to the already lively conversation in the capital.Where did the eldest princess go is second to none, and the news about the little prince made people pay more attention.Regardless of his age, he is the prince of a country after all, and his preferences and speech will definitely have an impact on future governance.

The little prince has always been well protected. In addition to the hidden guards in the palace, Yun Yuhong also sent a few people with special abilities to follow him. Will not see any outsiders.But in the Yi family, this noble villain discussed state affairs with some poor students for a long time. I heard that the little prince is also very interested in farming and water power. The students are greatly encouraged, at least, the prince is close to the talented and poor students, not the official children who also study in the Yi Family Academy.

Of course, the eldest princess and the crown prince went to Yi's house at this time, which is undoubtedly an expression of attitude, or an attitude of the emperor, and the meaning inside is very intriguing.

The next day, the eldest princess, who hadn't been to court for a long time, came with Bai Xiangye early in the morning, and the eldest princess even asked someone to bring the little prince. This kind of battle made many ministers' eyelids twitch, and they felt that something was about to happen. Maybe the result is still unacceptable to them. Of course, the pressure is even greater on Zhou Dashi and Yu Shangshu. These two people have been a little sad recently. If he wins over new officials during the scientific expedition this time and once again stabilizes his own power, then the days to come will be even more difficult.

After Qianzong went to court, the owner of the Yi family took out another booklet and handed it to Qianzong, and reported to Qianzong: "Your Majesty, the abolition of the system of recommending officials for the children of officials and aristocrats was discussed two days ago. I went back and thought of a compromise. Whether it is the three-year scientific examination or the recommendation of the official academy, the purpose is to select available talents for the country. Therefore, this scientific examination is better for those who are recommended and candidates At the same time, for reference, let’s actually test which method selects the most outstanding talents. If the candidates who participated in the scientific examination are finally recruited and accounted for the majority, it means that the scientific examination is better for the selection of talents for the country, so please The emperor issued an order to abolish the official recommendation system, and all officials must pass the scientific examination to become officials."

Master Zhou gritted his teeth angrily, and asked, "Then how many people are admitted if they are recommended?"

The little prince interjected: "Then let them all take the exam in the future. Since they are capable, they should go for the exam. Everyone is treated equally, that's only fair."

The air in the hall was still for a while, and Zhou University was speechless for a moment when he looked at the little prince's big innocent eyes.

Qian Zong pretended to be angry and said: "The prince has come here anyway, don't interrupt what your lord is talking about."

The little prince blinked his eyes and said: "The teacher said that 'the prince should commit the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law', so why can't the sons of officials take the same exam as ordinary people if they want to become officials? It is only fair to be the same as the common people."

Everyone has black lines, prince, what kind of logic is this, children are children.Everyone looked at Patriarch Yi, what have you taught the little prince?

Master Yi was calm on the surface, but ten thousand grass and mud horses flew by in his heart.This is really not what he taught, and this is where he is talking about business. Ghost King, what did you do to bring the prince here, is it funny?
Yun Yuhong touched the little prince's head and said: "Your brother's statement is very correct, but he didn't explain it clearly. The main meaning is that they are all Mo Yun's subjects, so they should be treated fairly and equally. Even children understand the truth The ministers should also understand."

Qian Zong asked: "Hong'er brought the prince, but what do you want to say?"

Yun Yuhong pushed the little prince and said, "Tell my father and all the ministers here what you told me yesterday."

The little prince took a few glances at Yun Yuhong, and for the sake of a happy life in the future, he mustered up his courage and said to Qian Zong: "Father, I asked my sister to take me to the Yi Family Academy to play yesterday. Seriously studying, and still discussing how to make people's lives better and make Mo Yun more prosperous. I think if we Mo Yun have more officials like this, then the father will not have to work so hard."

Qian Zong was happy, "It turns out that the emperor is thinking about his father. The emperor is really filial."

The other ministers felt a little uncomfortable, co-authoring the emperor's hard work is because we officials are not good at doing things, so we can be mediocre?Who taught the prince these words, the eldest princess?

The little prince continued: "I asked the four brothers why they have to work so hard. They don't eat well in the army, and they have to train every day. They are always bruised and purple. Doesn't it hurt? Brothers But he told me proudly that they were defending the country. My brother said that it is not that simple to defend the country. They started as a small soldier. At the beginning, they fought for half a year to become a centurion. What about the arena. I don’t understand, they are princes, why didn’t they just become generals at the beginning, don’t they have such special treatment even if they are princes?”

Qian Zong nodded and said: "Yes, your four brothers are very hardworking and diligent. They are all good boys."

The other ministers gritted their teeth in their hearts. It seems that the purpose of the eldest princess has been made clear. She is speaking through the mouth of the prince. It's just that the four princes did climb to the position of general step by step. The real military achievements are obvious to all. .Indeed, the prince is not special, and it is not easy for the children in their family to be special.

University scholar Zhou asked the prince, "These are what the prince wants to say? Why did the prince suddenly care about these things?"

The prince said to Zhou Dashi in a serious manner: "I know, you think these are what Huang Jie taught me, but in fact, these are all my own thoughts. I went to the military camp with Huang Jie once, and when I came back, I and Huang Jie Said that I want to be a general too, but Sister Huang said no. Being a general like me who doesn’t know anything is to send soldiers to die, and it also hurts me. I didn’t understand, so I asked the teacher. The teacher thought what Sister Huang said was wrong It is reasonable to say that handing over the army to people who can’t fight is death, and handing over the people of the country to incompetent officials is harming people. The teacher said that the hurdle of selecting talents for the country is very important.”

Only then did everyone understand the starting point of the matter. Yun Yuhong brought the prince here to explain the matter clearly, and said why old man Yi suddenly wanted to abolish the official recommendation system. It is really possible to do this with his stubborn temper.

Master Zhou thought in his heart that it was not good, if this matter was caused by the Yi family, they could still fight for it, but if it was caused by the prince, and the matter has already been said, no one else can do it anymore Persist, at least, how can people answer the prince's sentence "The four imperial brothers are promoted step by step based on military merits, you officials' children want to get something for nothing, why?"
Qian Zong laughed and said: "Mr. Yi is right. It is very important to choose for the country. Mr. Yi is a model for thinking about the country. What else can you say?"

All the officials bowed their heads and stopped talking. Your Majesty, you said that Patriarch Yi is a role model. What else can we say.

Qian Zong nodded and said: "Okay, since all the ministers have no objections, then let the officials' children take part in this scientific examination according to Master Yi's words. Let's see who we are in the examination room."

The prince smiled and said: "Father, can you let me be the examiner? Usually, the teacher tests me. This time I will also test others."

Qian Zong said with a smile: "Don't mess around, this examiner will be your teacher. You should be honest and study in the palace."

Yu Shangshu immediately said after hearing this: "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for Mr. Yi to be the examiner. This is not to say that Mr. Yi is not knowledgeable, but that this exam is very important. Mr. Yi has no experience and is afraid of problems. My suggestion is to It will be in charge of Zhou University."

A joke, since it is unavoidable to refer to the official's children, the examiner must be one of his own. Among Master Yi and Bachelor Zhou, Yu Shangshu chose the latter without hesitation. The situation is very different, and the best policy is to cooperate with each other.

A lot of other ministers also agreed, some said that Zhou University's scholar was good at learning, and some said that he had experience, anyway, the post of chief examiner should be Zhou University's scholar in their mouth.

Qian Zong felt a little helpless, Patriarch Yi's foundation is shallow, no one speaks for him, and it's not enough for him to deliberately favor.Looking at Yun Yuhong, only to see her smiling at himself, Qian Zong felt reassured, and looked at the ministers and stopped talking.

When the ministers were running out of words, the little prince asked, "Father, don't the sons of Zhou's scholar family take the exam? He won't favor them."

Master Zhou choked. Under normal circumstances, he would be angry when he was suspected like this, but when the other party was a child and a prince, he didn't know how to vent his anger.Yu Shangshu rescued him and said, "Prince, you are overthinking, Master Zhou has always been upright, he will not do this."

The little prince shook his head and said: "Then why not let Huangjie be the examiner, Huangjie is just right, I can't recite books well and she never allows me to play, even if the queen mother begs for mercy."

Everyone looked at Yun Yuhong, so you, Ghost King, came to court today because you came here for the chief examiner?

Bai Ziyu said with a smile: "The ghost king has nothing to do recently, and no one close to him participated in the scientific research. Naturally, there is no favoritism. In terms of fairness, it is certain. Of course, Master Zhou is not a person who favors personal favors. The disciples have to refer to it, and logically should avoid one or two, otherwise, please ask the ghost king to be the chief examiner, and ask Zhou Dashi and Yi lord to be the deputy chief examiners, I don’t know what the emperor thinks."

Everyone said in their hearts at the same time: "What can the emperor do, princess, you have planned to be the chief examiner, right?"
