49. Chapter 49
Ji Xuanyuan is naturally skilled in handling political affairs, but He An has just come to the Qianzheng Palace, and it is also the first time to assist in handling political affairs, and there are many details that are not very clear, and under the supervision of Li Siyi, it can be regarded as barely completed.
An Sui looked at the official document in front of him, it was a political performance document submitted by a local official, An Sui looked at it for a long time, the text was written in the pun script, the content was repeated and redundant, but there was no practical meaning, and the words were deliberately picked out a lot of jerky and difficult words.
An Sui frowned, and just didn't know what to do with this document, but Ji Xuanyuan's voice came from behind him, "Is there anything wrong with this official document?" ”
An Sui turned his head and saw that Ji Xuanyuan was standing behind him, and there was no one else in the Qinzheng Palace except for the emperor and himself. An Sui hurriedly turned his head, and Ji Xuan said from afar, "Let's talk about it!" You can feel free to say what you think. ”
Weichen thought that it was really inappropriate for the official document to be written in pun script. First, it is not so easy to write, and it was decided at the beginning of the country that not all officials could write such a pun. However, a large number of layouts and comparisons in official documents seem to be brilliant, but in fact they are very ineffective. Nearly 1,000 words are used throughout this article, but in fact, it is just saying a thing, and it is repeatedly mentioned in the text, and because of the stylistic limitations, more than half of the words here are useless words, which have no effect, and cannot be used to explain anything. Second, from the perspective of the person who does the work, after reading the whole article, you may not know what the official wants to express, and every day, whether it is the emperor or the head of various places, you have to read nearly 1,000 copies of the concert or official documents. ”
After An Sui finished speaking, he remembered that he was saying this in front of the emperor, and suddenly felt as if he had lost his words, and was about to get up to apologize, but Ji Xuanyuan leaned over, held An Sui's hand holding the pen, and wrote four words on the official document "I don't know what to say".
An Sui was stunned for a long time, Ji Xuanyuan's breath sprayed in An Sui's ears, An Sui couldn't help but tremble slightly, but Ji Xuanyuan straightened up very naturally, "What you said, I agree very much." However, it is not a matter of one or two days to change this style of officialdom. Do you have any good advice? ”
An Sui came back to his senses at this time, forcibly calmed down, and sorted out his thoughts, "Weichen thinks that official documents should be in prose, except for the emperor's daily criticism and folding, the quickest way should be to reform the imperial examination." Over the years, the style of scientific research has been to adopt the prose, or the probability of the combination of prose is much higher than that of writing prose, which is implicitly advocating that officialdom and the people attach importance to prose and prose, and gradually ignore prose, and even in official documents, the style is also written as prose. If the emperor wants to reform, he might as well start with the imperial examination and give officialdom officials an invisible guidance. ”
Ji Xuanyuan nodded thoughtfully, "What you said is very reasonable, but the official document should be written in prose, which seems a little not dignified enough." What's more, it is difficult to change the habits of some old ministers in the court for a while with prose, and it is a good transition to use prose. ”
Then Weichen felt that if he was at the court banquet, he could deliberately promote the style of prose. The imperial court held a banquet every six months, and many new ministers hoped to take this opportunity to come out on top and gain the emperor's favor. The emperor deliberately compared the prose written by the ministers, which is also a good guide. As for the old ministers that the emperor is worried about, if the emperor picks some pieces that are not very anxious to delay for a day or two in dealing with official documents, the old ministers will naturally understand what the emperor means. ”
"It's a good idea to write prose at the banquet, and as for the handling of the music, I always feel that it is a little inappropriate, but it is a bold idea." Ji Xuanyuan frowned slightly, "Let's think about it again." You have written what you have just said and sent it to me as a strategy. ”
"Wechen is afraid, it's not written properly."
"I'll see!" Ji Xuanyuan looked at An Sui, and he felt more and more that cultivating An Sui, a female official, was a very correct choice.
Among so many female officials at the beginning, she was not the one who wanted to stay by her side and cultivate, after all, she was the daughter of the Marquis of Jin, and her status was too high, so she was afraid that on the one hand, it would be difficult to control, and on the other hand, she was afraid of causing another power dispute. But An Sui always gave him too many surprises, and he could do his best to be a small Wen person in the harem, not humble, and then entered the Division, and he wrote very well in one hand, and after half a year of investigation, he also felt that she had a lot of plans in her heart, but it was not lightly revealed. Although the status is high enough, the An family has declined after all, and An Xu has also made many achievements at the border.
In the final analysis, An Sui's policy really touched him, he didn't just want to be the king of Shoucheng, the Great Chu was only established for decades, and he was only the third generation of emperors, he wanted to see the Great Chu in his hands towards the peak of prosperity.
