Guo Hao focuses on the poor and the people, that is, the majority of people, which is somewhat similar to Wei Zheng's view.

People make water, and king make boats. Water can carry boats and can also cover boats.

So Guo Hao is right, but most people cannot understand it, especially since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the power of aristocratic families has always existed, and later evolved into vassal states, which has always been a hidden danger to the court.

For example, when dealing with the forces of aristocratic families, some emperors choose to support new aristocratic families, which gives some opportunities to poor families, but this proportion is still too small.

The system of the imperial examination system has been constantly deduced with the development of history. From the initial recommendation to the later fair elections, although fraud has occurred frequently, cheating has not been completely cut off in later generations. In general, it has made a lot of progress.

The next morning court, Guo Hao made some preparations seriously. Yesterday Chen Lin reminded him that since Guo Wei asked him to preside over Enko, he should do something.

In the second year of Guangshun, this year was really peaceful. After the Northern Han Dynasty was pacified, Murong Yanchao did not last long and the whole family died.

The Liao general Gao Mohan used reeds as a raft to cross the Hulu River and invaded south and arrived in Jizhou. He Fujin, the governor of Chengde, sent troops to station in Beizhou to resist it. The Liao army hurriedly retreated north.

Hundreds of Ding Zhuang, a man from Jizhou, were looted by the Liao army. When he saw the Later Zhou army, he shouted, hoping to attack the Liao army with the Zhou army, but the Later Zhou army could not respond, and hundreds of people were killed by the Liao.

Guo Wei was very angry about this. After scolding him, he mentioned Enko's incident.

"Guo Hao, Enko is about to come, and everything is ready."

Guo Hao stood up and bowed, "It's not appropriate to go back to Your Majesty."

"Um?"

Guo Wei, Feng Dao, and Zhang Zhao were all stunned, Li Gu and Fan Zhi also frowned. The exam started in a few days. What else was there for Guo Hao to prepare for?

“What’s wrong?”

"I think the system is inappropriate!"

"The system is inappropriate? The system of this dynasty has been in the Li Tang Dynasty since ancient times, so what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the ancient system that I feel that it is inappropriate. I have a few things in my hand, and Your Majesty can take a look."

As he said that, Guo Hao took out several scrolls from his sleeves. He was wearing Wenchen's clothes, so he could hold things on his sleeves.

Seeing this, Guo Wei signaled Liu Song. Liu Song walked down to take the scroll and handed it to Guo Wei. Guo Wei was a little confused: "What is this?"

"Back to your Majesty, this is a book of work."

"Oh, what's wrong with this? Didn't the scholars always do this?"

Guo Hao looked solemn when he heard this and said, "Your Majesty, these scripts are all sent by someone, and they are sent with it, and this one!"

After saying that, Guo Hao waved his hand and immediately the imperial guards raised several boxes. When they opened it, they saw that they were all money. The civil and military officials in the court looked a little strange.

When Guo Wei saw Qiancai, he seemed to understand what Guo Hao meant. He put the paper aside and pondered: "What do you mean is someone bribing the examiner in order to win the exam?"

Guo Hao nodded and said, "Not only that, some scholars deliver booklets, which is understandable. They are just trying to get attention.

But as far as I know, all the officials who get the booklets need a stepping stone to deliver the booklets, and this stepping stone is all this. Those poor scholars do not have this stepping stone, so I think this is unfair!"

Guo Wei nodded when he heard this. It is normal that he did not give gifts or do things. He had experienced it before, but this is not the only way for scholars to follow.

"There are sometimes unfair practices, but poor scholars can also collect them!"

The book is a reference for the Minister of Rites who will preside over the Jinshi exam.

However, there are about a thousand candidates in the Jinshi exam for a year, and if you want to make a name for yourself, you naturally have to do more things. Although it is good to collect papers, it may not be effective. Even the emperor knows that the papers are necessary.

"Your Majesty, there are so many candidates in the world, and there are only a few officials in the Ministry of Rites. How could they carefully watch the candidate's test papers?

And after handing over the test paper, there are often recommendations, which is tantamount to setting the rankings for the exam. For some candidates, this is very unfair!"

When they heard the word "recommendation", most of the civil and military officials in the court looked unnatural. They obviously took the benefits of others and were planning to recommend some people after Enko.

"Um……"

"Your Majesty, Guo Hao is talking nonsense. You must not listen to his nonsense. These rules were passed down from the prosperous Tang Dynasty. How could you doubt it just because of his words!"

Before Guo Wei could speak, Wang Jun stood up. As the Privy Councilor, of course he would not miss the opportunity to increase his power this time, so he had already selected a few scholars. After they passed the Jinshi, he planned to put them in various departments.

"Your Majesty, the execution and collection of books are all conventional rules and recommendation methods, and the election of many talents for the court. Guo Hao is worried that the selection will be unfair, so there is no need to worry."

As the prime minister, Li Gu is in charge of the appointment and removal of officials, so he also needs to support his own power. Guo Hao just made an opinion, and they have already put the words in front.

When Guo Hao heard the two of them's comments, he knew that once his opinion was raised, it would definitely cause a great reaction, because he shook the interests of most people, and few people would agree.

Guo Wei saw the attitude of the ministers. Even if he knew Guo Hao was right, even if he was the emperor, he would follow the advice of most people.

"Guo Hao, what you said does make some sense, but you should respond to the bill and listen to the tips. The poor family members are not without opportunities.

As for what you said is unfair, there is no fair thing in the world. If you are asked to solve this matter, what other good solutions will you do if there are so many candidates?"

Guo Wei was able to say something casually and wanted to give Guo Hao a step forward. As long as he said there was no, the matter would be over.

Unexpectedly, Guo Hao replied seriously: "Your Majesty, I have it!"

"Hey, that's...what, what did you say?"

"I said I have a way!"

Guo Hao raised his voice a little, which made all civil and military officials hear it. Guo Wei looked at the ministers below, most of them were disdainful.

"Ahem, it's a big deal at this time. You have to think about it before talking about it!"

Guo Wei reminded Guo Hao again, but Guo Hao had made up his mind and said firmly: "I have already thought about it!"

Guo Wei saw that Guo Hao was not like a joke, and pondered for a moment, and said, "Then just tell me, what can you do!"

As soon as Guo Wei spoke, the eyes of all civil and military officials fell on Guo Hao, and they all raised their ears, wanting to hear what he said.

"Full name!"

Guo Hao said two words loudly, his voice was very firm, and everyone heard it.

"Shut your name? You mean, cover the names on the candidate's paper?"

"Your Majesty is wise, not only to make a name aside, but also to find someone to copy it. In this way, no one knows who the author is, and the court can select talents based on real talent and knowledge!"

Guo Wei nodded unconsciously after hearing this, but Wang Jun stopped at this time.

"It's all nonsense. If you cover up the candidate's name, isn't it disrespectful to the candidates? Moreover, the reputation of the candidates is often an important basis for selection. If you don't know who it is, how can you choose?"

After Wang Jun finished speaking, many ministers nodded and agreed. Guo Hao said unabashedly: "I dare to ask Lord Wang, is it enough to select officials? If you don't need real talent and knowledge, what are we going to do when we do it!"

"What did you say!"

Wang Jun didn't expect that Guo Hao would dare to confront him in front of so many people, and he was ridiculed in his words and outside. How could Wang Jun not hear it?

"Okay, Guo Hao is right. When the imperial court held scientific examinations, it should pay attention to talent and knowledge. It is good to have fame, but knowledge is more important.

Guo Hao's method is good, we can try it. This is the first scientific examination for the Jianguo of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I want to give the scholars all over the world a good impression.

But Lord Wang is not wrong. Fame is actually very important, because the ability of some scholars may not be reflected in their knowledge.

Therefore, this time, Enke adopts the famous system and the recommendation system is also established. As long as the candidates have a skill, I will not be stingy with the award of official positions. The Great Zhou is the time to employ people, so it is okay to choose more people in this exam."

Guo Wei really couldn't find a reason to reject Guo Hao because his method was so good. Everyone knew the benefits of doing so, but he was beneficial to the country but not to themselves.

So Guo Wei chose a compromise method, and through this method, the ministers should also give face to the real talents from afar.
