The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 293 Fengyao as Chief Supervisor

The crown prince wanted to go to the north to distribute grain in person, so naturally, some gifts were indispensable.Feng Yao also picked up a few good things left in the mansion, and sent someone to send them over, saying they were gifts for His Highness the Prince.On the second day after Prince Yun Chen left Beijing, Feng Yao went to the early court.

The eldest princess has the right to consult, but no one is behind her back.Moreover, Fengyao also listened quietly in the court, rarely expressing his own opinions, and would not directly stand up to oppose someone's memorial, so after only a few days, no one would think that Feng Yao would go to the court again Strange.

Occasionally, the emperor would ask Feng Yao what she meant to see what she would do to reform a certain place.Feng Yao knew what he knew and what he didn't know, he answered very tactfully and never procrastinated, which made the emperor appreciate Feng Yao a lot.

Until one day, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials stated in the memorial that this year's spring examination has been fully prepared, and all the candidates from all over the country have come to the capital to report, and the emperor needs to select a time for the examination to start.Feng Yao stepped forward and said: "I want to be an invigilator, but I don't know if I can do it?"

"Oh? Yao'er is still interested in this spring exam? Why don't we take the exam together at the palace exam, how about letting your father decide for you?" The emperor said jokingly.

The top three in the palace examination should be hand-picked by the emperor's imperial pen, if Feng Yao is given a chance to choose one of them, it will be a great honor.Moreover, this Tanhua will also worship under the eldest princess and become a disciple in the future, so he can be counted as someone cultivated by Feng Yao in the court.

It has always been that there are people in the court who are good at being officials. In previous years, when scholars from all over the country gathered in the capital, the first step was of course to pay a visit to the homes of the adults, hoping that some adults would accept them as disciples. It's not that he can reach the top of the sky, but he just won't lose his name.

If this person is really talented and learned, gets some fame or is really hand-picked into the top three, no matter whether he is appointed or retained in the future, he will not be buried.

Now the various academies in the capital city have long been filled with juzi from all over the place, and I heard that the thresholds of the homes of the left and right prime ministers, ministers, and ministers will be stepped down.Now that the emperor has suddenly promised Feng Yao this kindness, presumably within a day, Feng Yao's eldest princess mansion will also be stepped down.

Feng Yao shook his head again and again, and said sincerely: "I sincerely want to contribute to the selection of talents for Fengjue Kingdom. Father, think about it, Yao'er has never accepted a single student, and every move in this spring test will be in the future. Yao'er's eyes are all the same, without intimacy, that's a great fairness, so that those who are truly talented and learned can stand out, so that they won't be buried by some money and treasures."

This seemingly reasonable sentence undoubtedly hit some ministers in the face.Although Fengyao can't say that every minister has ulterior motives and only wants to receive benefits, he is suspected of selling an official; but it does not rule out the suspicion that some people form cliques for personal gain and secretly cultivate personal power.

Now that the spring test is approaching, it is of course another good opportunity to win over colleagues and subdue party members.Those who have connections, money, and backgrounds naturally have confidence.And those who have really studied hard for ten or even decades in the cold window, I am afraid that they will have no chance long ago, and only have a dream of serving the country.

But Feng Yao's words are correct, and they are really loyal and sincere words that are of great benefit to Feng Jue Country.As the emperor, he is naturally thinking of his own society. It is not that the emperor is ignorant of the secret affairs of those ministers, but the atmosphere has been cultivated over the years, and the emperor has no intention and power to take care of it. He can only maintain it as much as possible, so as not to break the balance. restrict.

Now finally someone is willing to stand up and purge them once, and the emperor is naturally happy to do so.What's more, this person is Feng Yao, the daughter of his direct relative, so naturally he won't help outsiders.So the emperor laughed and said: "Hearing Yaoer's words, it is really a blessing for those students who are studying hard. If this is the case, how about letting Yaoer choose the time of the spring exam? The spring exam is three days, Yao'er is the chief supervisor, and must select a few important talents for the father."

What the emperor meant, not only agreed with Feng Yao's suggestion, but also gave Feng Yao a great power in the position of supervisor.

Feng Yao thanked the emperor, and when he looked back, he found that some of the ministers had shown bad looks, as if they were planning something.

But since Feng Yao dared to take over as the chief supervisor, he was never afraid of anyone's face.Moreover, the memorial for the spring examination was submitted to the emperor on the second day. In addition to the selected date, several reforms were proposed. took the other two.

One of the two new replacements is the Minister of Tobe.The other one is an acquaintance, that is, Director Li who once went northward with Feng Yao to provide disaster relief.Ever since Zhuang Yi stayed in Mingyue City as the prefect, this Chief Li has shown his dedication in front of Feng Yao, but this time Feng Yao really gave him a chance to stand out.

The emperor read Feng Yao's memorial, and ordered Mr. Chen to read the memorial in public, so that all the ministers could know Feng Yao's opinion on the spring test.Some of them highly praised Feng Yao for his careful thought, and all the things he proposed were things that had never been considered before.

Some people frowned slightly, obviously because some of the regulations hurt their "hearts", and they were afraid that they would have to take out all the banknotes that had been put in their pockets this time.

Feng Yao explained with a smile: "You must be careful about sealing the test papers. Even I will not read the test papers of the candidates. The emperor will draw [-] maids from the palace, as long as they can use scissors and paste. , do not need to be literate. They will paste the names on the front of the paper, and then send it out for review by several adults who are in charge of the examination. After the top three, top ten, and hundred advances are selected, they will be hand-picked by the father. After passing the number one spot in the examination paper, the pasted names will be removed, so that the selected talents will be regarded as fair."

"Haha, Yaoer's method is new, but it is indeed fair. According to Yaoer's words, this year's spring examination is the way to mark the examination papers. Even I was the last to know who the hand-picked champion was, which is interesting ,interesting!"

The two things the emperor said in succession were interesting, even if they confirmed Feng Yao's opinion.And the ministers who came down were afraid that they would have any opinions, and they could only swallow them back to their stomachs.

Feng Yao thanked the emperor for his appreciation, and thought that he could successfully complete the spring test this time.Unexpectedly, an old official stood up suddenly, saluted the emperor and Feng Yao respectively, and then said with a smile: "The Eldest Princess' suggestion is indeed good. But the old official has a better suggestion, but he doesn't know that the Emperor and the Eldest Princess Are you interested in listening?"
