Chapter 614 The limelight of the New Year's Spring Wai

During the Spring Festival, the chief examiners selected by the court were all great scholars who were practical in the world. They could write articles with gorgeous words and flowers. Such an examination was so simple for them, and the students also racked their brains to write articles according to the chief examiner's preferences.

As for articles, there are both good and bad. Li Chengqian has read all the papers of the past years. There are not many practical articles, and they can be seen everywhere. Most of the articles are bullshit in his eyes. They are also a piece of waste paper when they are stuck in the yamen. Officials are tired of reading such routines, and the people still can't understand them. This way, officials and articles are useless.

Yesterday, the emperor and the two of them talked about this issue. Li Chengqian asked the emperor why the memorial submitted below was only responsible for raising questions.

They are the most direct parties involved in the incident, so why can't they propose the most direct solution while asking questions? Instead, the imperial court has consumed a lot of manpower and financial resources for this. It is still unknown whether the matter can be solved in the future.

If they can present the solutions to the problem together, can they achieve brainstorming results? Most of the chapters can simply weigh the pros and cons, and can also reduce decision-making mistakes and save a lot of trouble.

In Li Chengqian's opinion, the officials did this not because they were lazy or because they had no choice, but because they were well versed in Confucian doctrine of the mean and did not want to be too prominent and attracted the taboos of their superiors, so they developed a memorial, and half of them were filled with nonsense.

If you want to solve this problem, you not only need to change the existing presentation procedures, but also make some changes to the issue of the imperial examination. Let all scholars all over the world know that the people who can help the court solve the problems are what I need in the Tang Dynasty. As for their colorful articles, it is better to throw them into the septic tank!

Of course, the temporary intention to change the examination charter is that the difficulty of the imperial examination is higher than in previous years, and there will be much more people who fail the exam than before. As the saying goes, it is better to have nothing than to be too bad. The court's strategy for employed people in the future should implement this standard. Otherwise, sooner or later, the court will fool the court and delay the people because of the bullshit articles written by local officials.

Wang Zhi has been in the officialdom for almost twenty years. Of course, he knows the disadvantages here. There is nothing he can do about it. The rules in the officialdom have been like this for many years. Over time, I have gotten used to it, and those who are all like this come here.

In local prefectures, there are many hard-working officials. They suffer losses and cannot even get a good article. Then you will never be promoted to this official position. Who told the people above to just let this statement?

"Your Highness, it's not impossible to try to change it. I am a criminal official, so there is no problem with the case of anti-corruption trial, but I have never been involved in such matters as the Grand Prize!"

Wang Zhi has been in the Eastern Palace for many years, and his master can think of any strange tricks. Today he will tell him so much that if Wang Zhi still obeys his orders, he might as well find a big tree to hit him to death.

"Lao Wang, what's wrong with the criminal officer? Since we want to select officials who do practical things, the examiner will choose people who do practical things. You have been an official in the prefecture for many years and have rich experience at the grassroots level. Who can be competent for local officials and still escape your eyes?"

After taking a sip of tea, Li Chengqian pointed at him and continued, "There is something you said right. Experience is very important. This year, the Minister of Rites Chu Suiliang will be your deputy. With him helping you, you will be able to be smooth this year."

Wang Zhi's illness has not been cured yet, so Li Chengqian recommended the emperor the experienced Chu Suiliang to take charge of specific affairs. Such an errand is better than working hard in the cabinet department. A light errand is suitable for him to recuperate. Li Chengqian doesn't want him to die of exhaustion.

Although Cui Shu was a slutty man, he was born in a family and was influenced by officials in his family since he was a child. When he was a governor, he was also considered a clerk. He was asked to deal with the problem for a while. When Dou Kuan came back from Ningzhou, there was still little problem.

It is definitely a great grace to be able to preside over a spring exam for the court. It is absolutely impossible for a great scholar or a saint to get such a beautiful woman. Wang Zhi believes that such a light and favored job must be done by people. The reason why the prince did this was completely a care for his weak body.

"Your Highness, Oh, what are you going to say to me? I can't repay your kindness to me even if I'm broken!" After saying that, Wang Zhi bowed to the ground and couldn't raise his mind!

"Okay, okay, this is your family. Why are you doing so many etiquettes? If you make such a big deal, it would be a sin to be lonely. Come on, get up quickly."

Li Chengqian helped Wang Zhi up, patted him on the shoulder, then walked to the door, looked at the weeds, and continued: "In the past, there were many taboos. He always turned a blind eye to the selection of officials, for fear that someone would hold his braids and be difficult to explain to His Majesty."

"But through my long talk with Your Majesty yesterday, Gu suddenly became clear. Some things, even if you don't do it, there are still people who are asking for your fault. Since Your Majesty trusts Gu's son so much, what reason can Gu be restrained?

Just like you said, I was alone in the southwest to fight bloody battles, but some people in the court wanted to take the opportunity to destroy our Eastern Palace. Since that's the case, why not keep the righteous and upright and uphold the order and select a batch of new officials for the Tang Dynasty and speed up the elimination!”

Hearing the prince say this, Wang Zhi nodded quickly. Some people just can't see others' good. They can only see what others have gained in their eyes, and they can never see how much blood and sweat they have paid for it.

Take the prince for example. Yu Guo has made many contributions, and he is always frugal and respectful to the wise and humble. But even such a crown prince, no matter what, he will not be recognized by those people and always try his best to find faults.

Even if the prince falls, those princes will be the ones who succeed. Moreover, those guys are all cooked by rabbits and dogs. Even if they become emperors, can the ministers who help them play conspiracies get a good ending? Not necessarily! Isn’t this a disease if they don’t assist them and go to work with them?

"Don't worry, your highness, I will definitely be impartial and select a group of hard-working officials for the court to cleanse the atmosphere of the officialdom. Your Highness, can I choose a little for our Eastern Palace through Spring Escort? Now the stall is getting bigger and bigger, but this person is always not enough. Everyone wants to be a man of two. It will never be a big deal in the long run!"
