Chapter 615 Planning for the future of the descendants
In Chang'an in the twelve years of Zhenguan, the most enviable thing among the ministers was Wang Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Integrity of the Procuratorate. This guy only took twelve years to climb from a county magistrate who was just seventh-rank to a third-rank. Like the emperor's confidant Ma Zhou, he was wearing a purple robe under the age of forty, which was really jealous.
Of course, it is not that everyone can envy the officials if they are big. After all, people pursue differently. What is even more enviable is that this guy can actually preside over the Spring Examination - to fight for the country and compete with the scholars of the world. This is what many great scholars dream of. How can Wang Zhi District’s criminal officials win this honor? How can people not be jealous?
According to the customs of previous years, the imperial court selected the chief examiner of the spring exam, and everyone wanted to have a drink to celebrate. On the one hand, they congratulated their colleagues on this honor, and on the other hand, they were trapped and had a relationship. Who has any relatives and six? The imperial examination is the right way to enter the officialdom. What can I do if I give up my face and seek a future for my children?
Even if the imperial examination was strictly controlled by the imperial examination, it was still somewhat humble. The examiners were also human beings, and they also had to follow some human nature. If they were not careful in the officialdom, they would be isolated sooner or later.
There are many ups and downs in the officialdom. Who has not had three disasters and six difficulties? At critical moments, they all hope that others can help and raise their hands. Therefore, the examiners dare not do things too well. As long as they barely pass the test paper, they can pass it.
Wang Zhi is a cold-hearted person and is unreasonable. He always does things for his business and does not buy anyone's face. In addition, the famous "ghost house" in his home, even if he has great authority, no one is willing to interact with him.
People like him could not survive in a complex official environment like Chang'an, and sooner or later, they would have to be run out. But there was no way. This guy's backstage was too tough. You should know that he was the first group of poor commoners to be prosecuted by the prince and a hard-core confidant of the Eastern Palace. As long as the prince does not fall for a day, no one can do anything to him.
The way of inviting guests to have a love affair is not useful to him. In addition, he is an official from the Ministry of Integrity, and he can't tell the favor well, so he even put himself in it. So everyone didn't want to be boring and directly found Chu Suiliang who was easy to talk to.
Zuixianju, one of the most famous restaurants in Chang'an City, is also a place where officials often come and go. Chu Suiliang, who received invitations from his colleagues, came here on time and on time. After politely speaking, Chu Suiliang and a few friends went to the private room on the second floor!
After thirty years of wine and five flavors of food, after some cups and cups, Chu Suiliang put down the wine glass in his hand, leaned on the table with his hands, and smiled faintly on his face. Slow-students said: "My colleagues, in previous years, as long as the children of officials and noble families could be shortlisted for 80% of the difficulty of the exam, this unspoken rule was tacitly understood by everyone. Your Majesty and the Prince also turned a blind eye. After all, compared with those who rely on their cute officials, these students still learn the way of a certain saint, and barely meet the standards of being an official."
"I believe everyone has read the notice published by the Ministry of Rites. This year's examination method has changed to a certain change, from the original focus on the beauty of the articles to solving the corresponding practices through policy discussions.
Two days ago, I went to the palace with Shangshu Wang to pay homage. Your Majesty clearly stated that it is okay to take care of it in previous years, but I must learn a new way of answering the imperial examinations in line with the imperial examinations. After all, the imperial court is also to solve the problem of practical matters, and it is definitely not possible to rely on the pen alone.
You also know that compared to corrupt officials, Your Majesty hates people's affairs more, otherwise there would be no measures such as concurrent officials and supervising the censorship after ascending the throne. If you want your relatives and friends to have a good future, then you should take more effort and teach them how to deal with political affairs."
Chu Suiliang's words were already very proud of his face. At least he gave them a positive answer in the direction of the exam, so that their relatives, friends, children and nephews could gain a certain advantage in this big exam.
You should know that everyone who can sit here has their own unique way of governing, otherwise they cannot be transferred to Chang'an by the emperor through layer-by-layer selection. It is a piece of cake for them to teach their children and nephews some ways of governing and handling such trivial matters. As for what they can do in the exam, it depends on themselves. Everyone has their own destiny!
They are all old fry in the officialdom, and no one will point at Chu Suiliang so stupidly that he stole the test questions for them to eat for free. Of course, even if Chu Suiliang is a fool, they will not be stupid enough to follow him. Where is the example of Yu Wenshi? The emperor did not even let the lord of Shouguang County, and no one should pay the life of the whole family for a green robe. Since all the words have come to this point, he has to have a drink and say a bunch of official words that are more affectionate than brothers, so that people will not be in vain.
After accepting everyone's kindness, Chu Suiliang raised his hand and signaled to everyone to be quieter, and then said in a deep voice: "My colleagues, judging from the reform of the imperial examination, the conditions for the court's selection of officials will be made in the future. In other words, the days when I study hard in the future will be gone for a lifetime of happiness.
In fact, this is also something that can be encountered. From the conditions for the employment of Your Majesty and the Crown Prince in recent years, it can be seen that officials who can solve practical problems for the Lord are the current needs of the court. Therefore, if your children in the family want to enter the official position, they must change the education method! This is what Your Majesty and the Crown Prince asked me to tell you, and they hope that you can cultivate more talents for the country and benefit the country and the people!"
When they heard Chu Suiliang's words, the smiles on the faces of the officials became even stronger. If these two supreme emperors could say such words, it means that they and their children in their families will be taken care of in their future careers. What will the officials ultimately want? That is Jian Zai Di Xin!
They are not comparable to the children of those aristocratic families. They have big families, big careers, and great relationships. These people are basically from ordinary military and noble families, relying on the appreciation of the emperor and their own achievements. They have many holes in their families, so they can't lick their faces and seek official positions, so they have to turn their attention to the imperial examination. Now that the superiors have spoken, they can't practice those kids with all their might.
Just when Chu Suiliang was drinking and eating large pieces of meat in Chang'an City, Wei Zheng, who were busy with relief and investigation in Ningzhou, and Dou Kuan and others had been suffering for eight lifetimes. The local government called them only for steamed buns and soup made with unknown vegetables.
Seeing Wei Zheng rubbing his stomach constantly, Dou Kuan was biting the bun and laughing. In his words, Dou Kuan was a cheap life and lived a life of eating pickles for most of his life. Wei Xiang was a close minister of the emperor and the prime minister of the country. He would give him food every now and then, and he had already been tricky. Now that he was eating buns like this, he was really wronged.
