After Kong Kun got the "Shang Fang Sword" given by the cabinet, he did not delay at all, and directly sent a post to the left and right attendants of the Ministry of Rites, the Guozi Priest Wine, the Taixue Sacrifice Wine, and the newly established Admiral Xuezheng to his official office.

In fact, what Kong Kun wants to find most is Wang Dahu, who is also the admiral and the administrator. Because, Wang Dahu has the real power to manage the world's scholars.

After Li Zhongyi ascended the throne, the various yamen in the capital, the yamen with the biggest change, was actually the Ministry of Rites.

The newly established Xuezheng Yamen was freed from the shackles of the Ministry of Rites and was put in charge of the Admiral Xuezheng.

The responsibility of the Xuezheng Yamen is to organize the imperial examinations nationwide and to manage the fame of scholars throughout the world.

At present, the school administration of each prefecture and the county school administration are stationed in various places by the Admiral Xue Zheng Yamen, and they are rotated once every three years.

If you don't participate in the imperial examination, you can't get fame, and you can't be an official without fame, so Wang Dahu, who is the superintendent of academic politics, has the right to the imperial examination and the right to fame in his hands that make the world's scholars fearful.

The reason why he wanted to invite the left and right attendants of the Ministry of Rites, Kong Kun just wanted to save face, what he really wanted to see was actually Wang Dahu.

It's just that Wang Dahu's identity is extremely special, and there is no particularly suitable reason, so it is difficult to meet him.

After all, Wang Dahu is not only Li Zhongyi's sworn brother, but also the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and is also in charge of the advancement of scholars in the world, which can be described as a very high position and extremely powerful.

The scholars planned to gather to make trouble, ostensibly against Xin Taixue, but in fact, they wanted to remove Wang Dahu from power.

The Admiral Xuezheng, who was in charge of the power of the national imperial examination, turned out to be a vulgar and semi-literate person, how could a scholar let it go?

Wang Dahu not only did not have a meritorious reputation, but even his own name was written crookedly and unsightly, how could this kind of person be used to manage the world's scholars?

However, Li Zhongyi appointed Wang Dahu as the superintendent of the school, and let him control the future and destiny of the scholars all over the world.

Kong Kun, as the cabinet counselor, naturally knows very well in his heart, Li Zhongyi's appointment of Wang Dahu as the superintendent of the school is simply a stroke of genius.

Wang Dahu is a native of Shu, in Kaifeng City, there is no reason, two ignorant friends, and Shilin has nothing to do with it, he presided over the scientific examination, really responded to Li Zhongyi's six-character requirements: fair, just, open!

Li Zhongyi personally wrote the questions for the state examinations across the country, and all the people responsible for invigilating the exams were garrisons.

Wang Dahu only needs to send people to strictly grasp the discipline of the examination room and put an end to malpractice for personal gain, which is a major event with immeasurable merits.

The scholar wants to bow Wang Dahu from power, but in his bones he is actually provoking Li Zhongyi's new policy of selecting talents, and only a fool can't understand this point.

Kong Kun was originally worried that Wang Dahu would not give him face, but Wang Dahu quickly replied and would arrive in two hours.

In this way, Kong Kun was relieved to have a perfunctory relationship with the two waiters and the two sacrificial wines.

Wang Zhen, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was more sympathetic to the scholars, his attitude had always been vague, Kong Kun was unhappy, but he said: "Although everyone is in the same line as Shilin, they still need to be treated differently." Wang Gong should warn those restless scholars that those who make trouble will be severely punished. ”

Wang Zhen arched his hand and said: "What Kong Xianggong said is very reasonable, but the Ministry of Rites does not have the authority to control those scholars now. ”

It's obvious that I want to see the liveliness of Kong Kun!

After all, Kong Kun is a minister, and his cultivation is much better than before, he smiled and said: "According to Kong Gong's statement, the Ministry of Rites has nothing to do with scholars?" ”

Wang Zhen was speechless for a while, although the power of the imperial examination was taken away by the Admiral Governor's School and Political Yamen, but the state and county school funds in various places still need to be arranged by the Ministry of Rites, how can the Ministry of Rites get out of it?

Liu Jiao, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, he and Wang Zhen have always been at odds, and when he saw Wang Zhen deflated in front of him, he couldn't help but feel happy!

Wang Zhen and Wang Meng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, got very close, and the two squeezed out Liu Jiao together, Liu Jiao did not have a strong backer in the cabinet, and he did not dare to make a mistake on weekdays.

Now, Wang Zhen was gagged by Kong Kun in person, and Liu Jiao's heart moved violently: If you take refuge under Kong Kun's door, you dare not say that you will soar immediately, and your life in the Ministry of Rites will definitely be much better, right?

"Kong Xianggong, what scholars are most worried about is their own future, as well as the future of their children and grandchildren. Since the emperor's accession to the throne, the new imperial examination system has indeed shaken the foundation of the old scholars, how can they not complain? Liu Jiao's words suddenly changed, "Jiangshan Sheji is the emperor's, the emperor can use people how he wants, how can he allow others to beak?" ”

Liu Jiao's words were unusually profound, Kong Kun couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at him carefully.

To put it bluntly, Liu Jiao just wanted to attract Kong Kun's attention, and when he saw Kong Kun staring at him all the time, he smiled and said: "The emperor is the master of great talent, how can he be subject to the old gate valve of Shilin?" Kong Xianggong, in the opinion of a certain family, it is better to have a codex from your Excellency, and all the scholars who participate in the troubles are not allowed to participate in the scientific examination within five generations of their families. ”

Only by studying can you become an official, and only by being an official can you make a fortune, if you are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination within five generations, it is equivalent to completely cutting out the foundation of the troublemakers.

Liu Jiao's move is really ruthless!

Kong Kun narrowed his eyes and stared at Liu Jiao seriously, seeing that he did not dodge, he immediately understood in his heart that this was a signal to take refuge.

To tell the truth, although Kong Kun is a cabinet counselor, his confidants are either young or young, and there is not a single confidant among the officials at the level of servants in various ministries.

If Liu Jiao is included in the ranks of the disciples, it will have an extremely important connotation for Kong Kun's future opening up.

"What Liu Gong said is very true, the soft is softer, the hard is harder, and the great good!"

Since Liu Jiao took the initiative to fire the first shot, Kong Kun didn't mind endorsing Liu Jiao at all, after all, Kong Kun, as the first person responsible for handling this matter, had a huge stake on his shoulders.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Kong Kun mishandled it a little, he would be drowned by the saliva of the reader in the blink of an eye.

Wang Zhen glared at Liu Jiao angrily, he never dreamed that Liu Jiao would take the initiative to take care of things, what kind of vicious mentality is this?

The struggle between Liu Jiao and Wang Zhen, according to Wang Zhen's understanding, no matter how fierce it is, is always in the small circle of the Ministry of Rites.

As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, and in the same way, ugliness should not be publicized!

However, Liu Jiao's suggestion completely exposed the contradictions within the Ministry of Rites to Kong Kun's eyes, what kind of unspeakable mentality is this?

Wang Zhenqi's nose was crooked, and he completely forgot that Kong Kun was still there, and he shouted: "Liu Gong, what are your intentions? ”

"Wang Gong, this is the cabinet, not the Ministry of Rites, if you have something to say, sit down and speak slowly." Without waiting for Liu Jiao to refute it, Kong Kun preemptively pulled the bias frame and helped Liu Jiao speak.
