Datang Fenghua Road

People with neat fonts are generally people who read with heart.

Li Shimin's brows continued to wrinkle, and he pondered: "Is it too child's play to choose people only by writing?"

"Of course it's not just reading words, it's just part of the township exam."

Han Yue coughed and his eyes flashed: "The subject of the township examination was originally to cast a wide net and catch more fish. As long as someone who has read the book, it doesn't matter if ten out of ten pass the test. Change the rules of the aristocratic family to submit papers. From now on, no matter the poor family or the rich family, if you want to be an official, you must pass the township test..."

Speaking of which, he clenched his fists and continued coldly: "The only way to continue to advance is to pass the test, not to vote for the family. Whoever votes for the family will not be allowed to take the test for the rest of their lives."

Li Shimin nodded slowly and said, "This is also a method, but it still cannot solve the drawbacks of the imperial examination. Every time the imperial examination takes place, the whole country will take the examination, and there will be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of scholars. How can you organize such a large-scale examination? "

"The screening is constantly decreasing!" Han Yue smiled lightly, and said with a leisurely expression: "The township test is simple, so I will ask the town-level officials to organize it, and then select students from the research institute to grade the papers. Because the questions are simple and easy, the students of the research institute are Completely critiqued…”

"And then?" Li Shimin's eyes were obviously bright, but this time the emperor didn't frown.

Han Yue coughed lightly, and continued: "For example, if there are 20 people who take the exam, only 5 people may be retained in the end. These 5 people will be distributed to more than 300 prefectures in the Tang Dynasty, and each county will have no more than 200 people at most. So my son Next, the government examination was set up, and the rural examination was separated by a month, so that the children who passed the rural examination could arrive at the county seat!"

He glanced at Li Shimin, smiled and said: "Because of the tight schedule, almost all the time is spent on traveling or studying, so it can greatly reduce the chances of scholars to give gifts and reduce 90.00% of the artificial influence of the imperial examination. "

Li Shimin subconsciously held the hand of the eldest grandson, the emperor and his wife looked at each other, and both saw the joy in each other's eyes, and their faces were a little excited.

Han Yue went on to say: "There are only one or two hundred people from each government to participate in the government examination, and there are not many great Confucian scholars under your command, but Father, you have controlled the court for so many years, if you want to recruit more than 200 loyal civil servants who have read poetry and books, it is still possible. "

Li Shimin nodded hurriedly and roared: "It's not difficult, there is no pressure on being a father."

Chapter 698 The emperor and his wife seem to have guessed that Han Yue traveled through

Han Yue nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Let's send more than 300 civil servants who are loyal to the royal family to each prefecture, and then let each of them take charge of the imperial examination for scholars in a prefecture area. In this way, it will not be tiring whether it is invigilation or grading papers. There are only more than a hundred students who have taken the exam in this prefecture."

"Yes, yes, Yue'er is right!" Li Shimin's eyes became brighter and his blood spurted.It was the emperor's greatest dream to select talents through the imperial examination.

Han Yue may not know everything, but he can use it as a doctrine. The imperial examination has been developed in China for thousands of years, and he has far surpassed the system of the Tang Dynasty with only a few revisions from memory.

He chuckled, and then said: "The government test adopts the method of choosing one out of ten, so there are at most ten scholars who can pass the test in each government area. You don't need to talk about the next thing. You can do it yourself, father." Figure out a good way."

Li Shimin laughed, and said with piercing eyes: "In the 360 ​​mansions of the Tang Dynasty, even if 20 people from each mansion pass the test, there are only more than 7000 scholars in total. These 600 scholars will hold a Dao test and divide them into [-] Dao for competition." , then there are at most five or six hundred people for each course, and there is no pressure to send court officials to supervise the imperial examinations."

Han Yue's method is actually very simple. It is completely to reduce the number of people through selection. The township test with the largest number of people is the easiest, so let the students from the research institute go to the examination paper.

Then there is the dao test. There are twelve dao in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no pressure to send twenty important ministers Li Shimin to each dao.Twenty important ministers supervise five or six hundred students, and they will not be tired or difficult.

This changed the imperial examination system so that all examinations were controlled by the royal family.The previous imperial examinations were different, when tens of 10 people from all over the country gathered in the capital, no matter how talented the emperor was, he had to rely on his family.

"Yue'er, my father wants to discuss something with you!"

Li Shimin suddenly came over and said with a strange face: "This time the imperial examination system, don't use your name. Datang has stopped the imperial examination for several years, and only using my name can appeal. Being a father is not about robbing your talents. , I just want to help you, my father and my son, regardless of each other..."

Han Yue was dumbfounded and looked at the emperor stupidly. It took a long time for him to react, and he jumped and shouted: "It's obviously greed that you don't want to grab talent. If the father and the emperor are like this again, the child will not care about anything."

Li Shimin was a little embarrassed, and touched his nose angrily. The emperor was still a little unwilling, and continued: "I am seven and three, you can do it."

"Humph!" Han Yue shook his face and gave Li Shimin the back of his head.

The emperor almost choked to death, and subconsciously wanted to shout angrily, suddenly remembering that the relationship between father and son had just eased, he quickly took a deep breath and put down the pressure, and said loudly: "Forty-six percent, is it alright?"

"Humph!" Han Yue made a heavy nasal voice again, like a child who was angry with his parents.

"Don't you want to be divided into five or five?"

Li Shimin was a little dumbfounded, and said viciously: "Although the imperial examination was your idea, but these talents are all from the Tang Dynasty, you stinky boy..."

Before he could finish his words, the eldest grandson next to him suddenly hit him, the queen gave her husband a cold face, and said angrily, "You rob everything, and you are jealous of everything, my son has already said that he gathered talents for Tang. Your Majesty, let me ask you, do you know how to develop Lingnan? Do you understand ocean-going trade? Even if all the talents elected by the imperial examination are given to you, what's the use of holding them in your hands?"

Li Shimin froze for a while, then muttered: "I can use these talents to gradually replace the world, and make the entire Tang Dynasty full of loyal officials."

"Is it disloyal to Tang when you give it to your son?" The eldest grandson retorted, and Feng pointed hard at her husband's forehead.Tonight, the queen's actions were a bit strong. Before, she would never touch her husband's forehead when she said anything.

Li Shimin was a little reluctant, and felt that what the eldest grandson said was reasonable. The emperor thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "Guanyin maid, do you have a good plan? After all, I can't let me go empty-handed, I also want talented people to run the country."

The eldest grandson glanced at her husband, and then at Han Yue, suddenly her phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and she giggled: "Reopening the imperial examinations must be announced to the world, it is better to issue an decree in the name of your father and son at the same time, the selected talents will not be selected. Evenly divided, everyone can use it!"

After speaking for a while, he hit his husband lightly with the palm of his hand, and said with a deep meaning: "What is the difference between father and son?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what the eldest grandson meant.

Even if all the talents are used by Han Yue, the royal family and the Tang Dynasty will benefit in the end.His own son bleeds his own blood, how could he still bring talents to fight the Tang Dynasty?

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Li Shimin slapped the edge of the palace wall heavily, and said solemnly: "Tomorrow morning, I will order that Fang Xuanling and others plan to hold the imperial examination, and the money will be signed in the name of me and King Zhao of the West Palace. "

The emperor made up his mind, but Han Yue was taken aback.

Holy decree?

Write your name?

It's so obedient, how can there be such a saying in ancient times.

Han Yue couldn't care less about losing his hand, and he couldn't care less about fighting with Li Shimin. He turned around and looked at Li Shimin and his eldest grandson, and said loudly, "This is impossible, absolutely impossible."

Only the emperor can sign the imperial decree. I have never heard that the king is listed on the same list. If this imperial decree is really issued, who will the Tang emperor be in the future?

"Father, there are some examples that cannot be opened!" Han Yue was so excited that he grabbed Li Shimin's palm subconsciously, and said anxiously: "There are no two days in the sky, and no two masters in the country, if this will is sent out , wouldn't it be ordered to go out more from now on?"

Li Shimin laughed and patted Han Yue's shoulder vigorously with his hands. There was an indescribable mystery in the emperor's eyes, and he said with a deep meaning: "Don't stop it, you will know soon, wait for you to think about it. I'll give you a big surprise when you leave."

The emperor didn't wait for Han Yue to object, he smiled and then said: "This matter is settled, the court will issue a decree early tomorrow. Don't worry about it, stinky boy, I haven't fainted to the point of chaos."

"But……"

"It's nothing, it's settled!" Li Shimin's eyes were bright, and he suddenly looked up at the stars. Among the stars, there was a bright moon hanging high, shedding a cold light to illuminate the time.

The emperor suddenly sighed with emotion and muttered to himself: "There are no two days in the sky, and no two months, but a country can have two masters. I am the emperor in the Tang Dynasty, but Yue'er, you will soon establish a country and become an emperor. It's the emperor, why can't you issue an decree at the same time?"

After saying this, he stopped for a while, looked at Han Yue with bright eyes, and said solemnly: "Unless you don't want to deal with the Tang Dynasty after the founding of the country, you want to abandon Cheng Qian, who succeeded the throne, and Li Xiang, who will inherit the next throne. If you have such thoughts, then I can take back the decision just now."

What else could Han Yue say, he couldn't say anything.

Li Shimin suddenly smiled, his face returned to calm and said: "Don't worry, stinky boy, I said, when you leave, I will give you a big surprise..."

Without waiting for Han Yue to open his mouth, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the bright moon in the sky, and said warmly, "Son, come with a poem. You can give it to the father, the queen, or your deceased master, or to Qianlong. also."

"What the hell is this?" Han Yue was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out the emperor.

Li Shimin glanced at him with a smile, stretched out his hand and pulled Empress Changsun over, the emperor and his wife clasped their palms together, Changsun suddenly gave a soft voice, and said softly: "Good boy, let's do a song. Some people, some things, both the father and the queen understand. , but we can't say."

Han Yue's heart twitched, and he always felt that the situation between the two was a little strange.

The eldest grandson suddenly raised his hand to caress his face, and said softly: "As a son of man, you should have filial piety, the moon is bright tonight, and there are stars in the sky, don't you want to write a poem to give birth to you and raise you? Do you love your parents?"
