Royal Gold Magistrate

cabinet.

At this moment, the number of cabinet members is smaller than before.

Li Yansong was lowering his head to examine the official documents, and suddenly raised his head to look at Zhang Dongxiang and said, "The old man suddenly remembered that the results of the Chunwei Exam should be released, right? When will the announcement be posted?"

Zhang Dong focused his head on the newspaper seriously. Hearing his question, he moved the newspaper away and said, "Last night, Mr. Zheng said that all the papers have been read. It should be within two days. Why, I can't wait to read the candidates' articles." gone?"

Li Yansong reassured: "Yes, the government's previous decrees should be effective. There are many more candidates this year than in previous years. I think there must be many more beautiful articles. And this year's policy discussion is about the West, I can't wait for it." I want to take a look."

"Recently, the old man is looking at the classics that have been passed down from overseas. The national system and national conditions are very different from my Dajingtian...just say that the Xiluo Kingdom, the core of the country is not in the capital, but in the local area. It is difficult to conquer, even if the capital is conquered, it is difficult to conquer the country, but there is still a miraculous church."

"Candidates don't know the inside story, and don't know how much they know about Western affairs. How should they answer? Zhang Gong, Zhang Gong! I'm talking to you, what are you looking at, so fascinated?"

Li Yansong talked incessantly, and only after he finished speaking did he realize that the opposite Zhang Dongxiang had already picked up the newspaper and read it intently, and didn't hear him at all.

After shouting twice, Zhang Dongxiang was startled awake, and said shamelessly, "I'm sorry, I was fascinated by it."

"What are you looking at?" Li Yansong asked.

"Written by Fang Zhengyi, Inception." Zhang Dongxiang licked his lips, and said, "Dreams are layered on top of each other, and the time is different. It's quite a whimsical idea! You said that this young man now has all kinds of things in his mind. Thinking about something... we really can't keep up."

"Who can keep up with him...Recently, I write stories and publish them in newspapers every day, and I'm quite diligent. Inception...Is it good?" Li Yansong asked curiously.

Zhang Dongxiang touched his chin and clicked his tongue: "I think...it's okay, but it's not as good as the Snowpiercer and Orient Express murder case last time. The fight is not well written. A group of people shot at it with guns. Shooting back and forth is extremely boring.”

"You said Fang Zhengyi, why does he write stories all day long, even if it's to promote trains, he makes fights and murders all day long, what should the people panic when they read it? I don't like to read this!" Li Yan Song muttered.

"Hey, otherwise!" Zhang Dongxiang said, "Mr. Li, you really should read more. It's all about Jin Yiwei smashing the conspiracy of the thieves and capturing the head of the enemy alive. I heard from the servants at home that it is said that the people are right after reading it." Jin Yiwei is like a five-body thrower, Xiaoxiao dare not break the ban."

"Wouldn't the people from the Bingma Division feel offended? They made civil contributions, and their reputation has reached Jinyiwei."

"What's the matter? The common people can't tell anything except their faces. The Jinyiwei looks good, and they are well-dressed... Bingmasi's people are like crooked melons and jujubes. They don't look like Jinyiwei. Like a nice guy."

Li Yansong couldn't help laughing: "I think you are also looking at the face... Speaking of Fang Zhengyi, what about his previous memorial proposing the establishment of a doctor of science and the draft imperial decree? The old man will have a second trial. It is best to strive for perfection, so as not to make any mistakes. "

Zhang Dongxiang thought for a while, and said: "Here is the memorial, did I hand in the imperial decree yesterday?"

Li Yansong was stunned on his seat, his mind buzzing!

At the next moment, he cried out: "You handed it over!? Why didn't you tell me when you handed it over!"

Zhang Dongxiang was confused, and spread his hands, "What are you talking about? No problem! You didn't verify the imperial decree yourself, and there was a note in it, so I handed it over without any hassle."

"Isn't there no objection to this matter in the court, and your Majesty has no objection? What's the problem?"

Li Yansong got up suddenly, slapped his thigh vigorously, and complained endlessly: "No problem! The imperial decree is no problem, and the imperial court is no problem! But there is a time problem! Think about what time it is now!"

Zhang Dongxiang blinked: "This...is not a special time, nor is it a holiday!"

"Imperial Examination! Imperial Examination!" Li Yansong said sadly, "How many students are going to Beijing to rush for the exam, and the new eighth-rank official title is newly established, and they don't take the imperial examination. How many students who failed the exam this year, have you ever thought that these people will read the exam? What kind of reaction! At least we should wait for them to go home before posting, if there is a commotion in the capital, how will it end!"

"No, no, no...I have to go to His Majesty, I hope the imperial decree has not been handed down, otherwise something serious will happen!"

After Li Yansong finished speaking, he rushed out of the office with his official robe in his hands, leaving Zhang Dongxiang covered in cold sweat.

.....

Emperor Jing was looking at the texts from overseas in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, taking a pen to make some annotations from time to time.

Although Dajing has sent ships to sea for some time, this is the first time that such a large number of overseas books have been sent back to China.

It is necessary to study it carefully.

In fact, as an emperor who went out to fight in the early years, he would often feel bored if he was not out of the palace.

Looking at these "foreign books" about overseas customs and customs, Emperor Jing felt quite relaxed and comfortable.

For an emperor, eye-opening is a very interesting and rare thing for him.

The book I'm reading now is great for relaxing.

Just as he was concentrating on watching, there was a loud noise outside the door.

"I have something urgent to see His Majesty! Get out of the way!"

Emperor Jing frowned, and hearing the voice sound familiar, he directed to his side: "Who is outside the palace, let them in."

Guo Tianyang immediately got up and went, and he was surprised as soon as he went out: "Ah, Mr. Li, why are you in such a hurry? Your Majesty asked you to go in."

Li Yansong broke into the hall involuntarily, and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty! Is the imperial decree on the establishment of the post of Doctor of Science ready?"

Emperor Jing didn't react for a while, seeing his expression, he was a little nervous and said: "It was sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs yesterday, and it was posted in the city this morning. Is there any problem?"

Li Yansong closed his eyes immediately, and slapped his forehead suddenly: "Oh! Your Majesty... this, this is not good!"

"Why is it not good?!" Emperor Jing didn't read the book, and looked nervous.

"During the imperial examination, I'm afraid I'll offend the world! What would the countless students who failed the rankings in Beijing think when they saw this imperial ranking?" Li Yansong lamented again and again.

"Students of Eastern Suburb University can achieve success in two or three years! What's more, they can complete all their studies in one year and be selected into the Royal Academy of Sciences! And what about those students? Ten years, ten years, decades of hard work It is possible to get to where they are today by reading, so how should they think about it?"

"Having struggled for half of my life, I didn't say I didn't pass the exam. Those young people who haven't read any sage books have entered the officialdom one step earlier! Who can bear this?"

As Li Yansong chattered endlessly, Emperor Jing's complexion began to get worse and worse.

I also feel bad in my heart!

This matter was really thoughtless. It is not that the court and China have not discussed this situation before, but the imperial examination had not yet started at that time.

As for this decree, it took two full months to make a decision. After he got it, he approved it without even thinking about it.

On the same day, it was sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and issued to the people...

Now the imperial examination has been forgotten.
