Today is the big day of Guanshishan Academy.

The whole academy is like a festival, and it is very lively.

However, Li Kuan was called to Daming Palace at this time.

"Kuan'er, Guanshishan Academy's performance in the imperial examination this year is very good, and the good ones are a bit unexpected by me."

As the son of today, Li Shimin naturally knew the results of this year's imperial examination before anyone else.

If it is said that Guanshishan Academy can achieve good results in Ming Arithmetic and Ming Medicine, Li Shimin is not surprised at all.

But even the Ming Jing and Jinshi can have good results, which is really rare.

Vaguely, Guanshishan Academy has already suppressed Guozijian.

"Your Majesty, the so-called hard work will be rewarded; The students of Guanshishan Academy have studied academically and have achieved today's results, and Weichen takes it for granted. ”

Li Kuan was a little confused about what Li Shimin was doing with him today.

However, the praise of the students of his own academy can never be forgotten at any time.

"Although the imperial examination has a history of more than 20 years in the Tang Dynasty, the status of Jinshi has also been greatly improved; However, in the current officialdom, after all, only some low-level individual officials were born in the imperial examination, and most of the courtiers have not participated in the imperial examination; Originally, I wanted to directly arrange the various branch scholars to the various yamen of the imperial court, but let Li Zhong find out, it seems that everyone's opposition is very big, do you have any good suggestions? ”

Although Datang is the world of the Li family, it does not mean that Li Shimin can do whatever he wants.

You must know that whether it is the family in Chang'an City or the squires of various states and counties, their influence on the local area is huge.

If a policy harms their interests, it will be very difficult to implement it smoothly.

"Jumping out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements. Your Majesty, it is very difficult to arrange the jinshi to important positions, so why can't we set up a separate institution to accommodate the jinshi of the imperial examination? ”

Li Kuan still has a good understanding of Li Shimin's thoughts.

It is not difficult at all to arrange for the jinshi of the imperial examination to enter the officialdom.

The difficulty is to arrange it in an attractive or important location.

It's like a college student in later generations looking for a job, but it's not difficult.

The hard part is finding a suitable, satisfying job.

If you're happy with washing dishes in a restaurant, how many college students won't be able to find a job?

But if you want to go to the customs and the tax office, the difficulty is not ordinary.

"An institution that houses the imperial examination jinshi alone?"

Li Shimin did not have a happy expression on his face.

This plan, he didn't think about it.

But with the current operation of the imperial court, he did not feel that there was much of a problem.

How to set up a suitable organization becomes challenging.

"That's right, the imperial examination jinshi, that is a relatively noble birth. However, although these jinshi obtained the qualifications for promotion through the imperial examination, their own level of governance was not necessarily very high. Of course, they have just become Jinshi, the reason for their low level of governance is mainly because of lack of experience, not because of their ability, as long as they are given a stage to play and a chance to learn, over time, they will definitely become the pillars of our Datang.

Therefore, Weichen suggested that His Majesty set up a Hanlin Academy in the court alone, and select suitable candidates to enter the Hanlin Academy from among the Jinshi in the spring of each year, specializing in the revision of historical books, daily life notes, and even the drafting of edicts. ”

Li Kuan thinks that the Jinshi of Datang are quite professional.

But after all, he is still a scholar, and if he has not been beaten by society and thrown directly into the local area to hone his training, he will be easily refined.

It is better to set up a Hanlin Academy in Chang'an City, so that the top three jinshi of each department can enter it and become a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

The level of the personnel of the Hanlin Academy does not have to be set high, as long as they can often contact Li Shimin, it is enough.

The ministers of the court, no matter how high their rank, did not dare to offend the personnel of the Hanlin Academy at will.

In time, whether these personnel of the Hanlin Academy are in a foreign state or arranged to serve in the six departments, they will encounter much less resistance.

"Kuan'er, do you think there is a problem with Datang's current three-province and six-ministry system?"

Li Shimin is more sensitive to political reform and looks at Li Kuan suspiciously.

"There is no problem, the three-province six-ministry system can effectively restrain the rights of each ministry and allow Datang to develop steadily; But too many constraints can sometimes mean inefficiency; His Majesty's prestige is sufficient, and this shortcoming is naturally not obvious, but if the Son of Heaven does not have such a strong prestige in the future, then it will be difficult to avoid the situation of fighting between the three provinces. ”

According to the official system of the Tang Dynasty, Zhongshu Province was responsible for the drafting of the edict, Menxia Province was responsible for the review of the edict, and Shangshu Province was responsible for the implementation of the edict.

It seems that the separation of powers should work very well.

In fact, this system could not be operated until the late Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, Tang Xuanzong would not have established the Hanlin Academy, and let the Hanlin scholars be in charge of the drafting of the edict.

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and you can't be in a hurry. The system of three provinces and six ministries has not yet reached the time when it needs to be changed, but I agree to the Hanlin Academy you proposed! ”

Although Li Shimin knew that Li Kuan's disciple Di Renjie was the top student in the current science and technology department, Di Renjie would definitely have a chance to enter the establishment of the Hanlin Academy.

To a certain extent, Li Kuan's proposal is suspected of abusing power for personal gain.

However, Li Shimin admires Li Kuan's open-minded "yang scheme", even if he feels some of Li Kuan's intentions, he will not refuse.

Besides, it is a good way to improve the status of the imperial examination by placing the champions, top eyes, and tanhua of each subject in the Hanlin Academy, so that the Hanlin Academy can become a concentration of talented people.

After all, no matter what the level of the personnel in the Hanlin Academy, as long as he could draft the edict and get along with Li Shimin day and night, there were few officials in Chang'an City who dared to bully him.

What if you're a first-class master?

I'm still a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

"In this way, Weichen has thanked Your Majesty for the Jinshi this spring."

Li Kuan had a smile on his face, this result was better than he imagined.

You must know that whether it is the revision of historical books or the drafting of edicts, in the feudal dynasty, it is regarded as a first-class event.

Now that these major events have been handed over to the Hanlin Academy, which has not yet been established, one can imagine the extent to which Li Shimin's trust in Li Kuan has become.

"As a place for raising soldiers, they still have to go out and fight after all; However, after going out, I have experienced some training first, and maybe the final harvest will be even greater. ”

In his early years, Li Shimin fought in the south and the north, and gained a lot of knowledge, so he was very clear about the significance of the existence of the Hanlin Academy to the imperial examination jinshi.
