In a flash, nearly ten days have passed.

Liu He has been pressing down on the case of Da Meng's killing Feng Luan. He only allows Ting Wei to detain him in prison, that is, he is not allowed to use torture or interrogate him. He also has a single room of his own, which has three meals a day as usual. Either Cai Wenji or Cai Yong sends them, or imperial food from the palace is sent in for him to eat. Even Liu He and Zhang Yu are present in person I visited the prison twice.

Although Da Meng didn't know where the prison was, he was very unwilling to let him leave his daughter-in-law and his son. More than a dozen jailers kept him in prison. Liu he went to the prison and made a good deal of coax, so that he could settle down temporarily.

During this period of time, many ministers held many court meetings. Unexpectedly, they didn't mention it again. They didn't mention it. Naturally, Liu he was too lazy to mention it.

He had planned to hold his thirtieth birthday as an amnesty. Now Wang Yun says that the most serious crime is unforgivable, so he has no mind to do this birthday. Although Xun Jian, Xun you, Cui Jun and others have put forward many refutation methods in recent days, they all have some omissions, and Liu He is naturally not satisfied.

Fortunately, Feng Fang and others did not urge this, and Liu He let it go. Anyway, as long as he didn't know how to grant amnesty to Da Meng, he didn't give any evidence to others, and he did not dare to do anything to embarrass the imperial court.

This day, when Liu he was reading the memorial, he suddenly thought of something and looked up at Xun Yu.

"It's time to send the list of Xiaocai and Xiaolian from all over the country this year."

In this period, there was no imperial examination system. A person who wanted to become an official depended on the examination system. The examination of filial piety and honesty was based on moral character, while that of maocai was based on knowledge. Only through one of the two examinations could he be recommended as an official. Starting from a petty official, he gradually stepped into the official career.

After Liu He ascended the throne, he also thought about the reform and adopted the imperial examination system. However, the popularity of knowledge was too low. Most ordinary people could only read dozens or hundreds of words. It was useless to run the imperial examination system.

Therefore, in the end, Liu He chose to strictly enforce the investigation and recommendation process of the system, instead of directly changing the whole system.

In the past years, people with outstanding moral character and talent were selected from the beginning of the year. After the list was determined, it was submitted to the state capital for examination and examination. Until the end of the year, all localities gradually submitted the final list. According to the Convention of previous years, from the beginning of October, the list of candidates in Sili district would be submitted to the court, followed by Liangzhou, Liangzhou, and so on In Bingzhou and other places, until the end of the new year, all the examinations were completed. Then Liu he said with a smile: "Qian Li, when you really can't afford to talk about him, just mention him, it's here. Come on, come on."

Xunzi went out of the door and took Qian Li's memorial from Gong saner.

However, he only opened it and had a look at it, and his eyebrows twinkled in an instant.

Liu he asked, "Wen Ruo, what does the memorial say? But it has something to do with it? "

Xunzi said, "Your Majesty knows things like God, and this memorial is really for the purpose of making clear the list of events."

"In that case, what reason has he said that he has not sent the list yet?"

Liu he asked eagerly.

Xunzi's face was full of incredible expression, which made Liu He more and more surprised.

"What happened?"

Xunzi said, "this Dao Zhun said that this year's list of county candidates had been very smooth. More than half a month ago, he personally sent reliable people to examine and examine these people. Finally, he made a list and was preparing to submit it to the imperial court A few days ago, a total of 23 people were on the list. Except for the two children who were supposed to be close relatives, the rest of the 21 people actually took sick leave overnight, and each claimed that they would not be cured for several years. Therefore, they requested to be removed from the list of candidates... "

"What? Is there such a thing? "

Liu he said, "Your Majesty, youfufeng, Henan Yin, and jingzhaoyin's memorials have also been sent."

"Send it in." Liu he almost cried out.

The three memorials of Shi Tao, Meng Jian and Du Ji were all placed in front of Liu He. Liu He looked through them one by one. The more he looked at them, the tighter his brow became.

"No way Absolutely impossible How could the list of examiners in these three places be in the same situation? The person being examined is either suddenly ill or an elder has passed away. He should be filial piety for three years. There are only seven candidates left in the three capital cities. "

"What? Seven? With the two of Zuo Feng Yi's, there are only nine people in total. It's just a drop in the bucket. "

Cui Jun has been with Liu He for many years. Although he is knowledgeable and resourceful, he is still frowning and has no clue.
