Looking at the eldest grandson Wuji, who was rushing over, Fang Xuanling said with a sad face: "Lord Du is sick in the 'bed', and the old man has been urging him to go home to rest before the holiday, but he has been refused, and he became seriously ill during the holiday, and the emperor let him rest at home." I don't know if I can get better this time. ”

Wang Ke stood behind the eldest grandson Wuji, and he couldn't help but be shocked. He suddenly thought that according to the history books, this Du Ruhui should have died of illness in the fourth year of Zhenguan, which was the beginning of the fifth year of Zhenguan, and this Du Ruhui was seriously ill, could it be that this history has begun to change because of his arrival?

Wang Ke hurriedly recalled that since he came to the Tang Dynasty, except for the things he deliberately changed, there was nothing different from what he had seen in the history books. That is, from now on, every step of oneself has the potential to make history run in a direction that deviates from the normal track.

Wang Ke's heart was a little panicked, he was afraid that the consequence of this would be that his historical knowledge could no longer serve him, and it would be much more difficult for him to continue to 'mix' than before.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling were talking, and the two didn't notice the change in Wang Ke's face.

Wang Ke calmed down, and said secretly in his heart: "I can't care so much now, I've come to this point, it's impossible to retreat, and the only way now is to continue to move forward!" Anyway. There are many things that I know that people of this era cannot know, and even if the track of history changes, the current production technology will not reach the level of later generations. At most, I don't have a secret weapon that can predict the outcome in advance, and the rest shouldn't make any difference. It's still possible to 'mix' on your own! ”

When Wang Ke thought of this, his heart was no longer nervous, his whole body was a lot more relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face that was still 'cloudy' and sunny just now.

At this time, just in time for the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling to finish speaking, Fang Xuanling, who was standing opposite, saw the smile on Wang Ke's face at a glance, and asked curiously, "Is there anything happy about Wang Xian's nephew?" How do you smile so happily? ”

Wang Ke hurriedly covered up: "No, the little nephew just thought that the eldest grandson's uncle's method is really good, if it is really as the eldest grandson's uncle said, then the talents of my dynasty are like the water of a river, surging endlessly." ”

When Fang Xuanling saw Wang Ke say this, he didn't doubt it, but it made him even more curious, and asked the eldest grandson Wuji: "What is the best plan for the eldest grandson, can you talk to the old man first, so that the old man will be happy?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was speechless for a while, and only now did he remember that Wang Ke hadn't told him what the solution was, and it was impossible to talk about it.

Fang Xuanling saw that the eldest grandson Wuji just didn't say anything, and thought that he didn't want to tell himself, so he said with some displeasure: "What, isn't the eldest grandson unwilling to tell Fang?" Then I don't know why the eldest grandson came to the old man? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Brother Fang, don't worry, the old man is just afraid that he will not be able to speak clearly for a while, and the time has been delayed for a long time, and the emperor will run away in vain when he returns to the inner palace." Or ask Brother Fang to go to the emperor together, isn't the old man the same as Pan Tuo at that time? ”

Fang Xuanling was already a little reluctant to go, but he was also anxious to know what to do, so that Wang Ke, who could clearly understand the results of everything on weekdays, agreed with it, thought about it and agreed, and went with them.

When he came to Comrade Li Er's imperial study, Comrade Li Er was very strange when he saw Wang Ke coming in with these two ministers, and he didn't ask what they were here for, so he asked Wang Ke directly: "Wang family boy, what did you do before the festival?" I didn't see you come in and say I knew. Hasn't it been done yet? ”

Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, this Comrade Li Er just let himself arrange the planting of cotton 'flowers', he had already done it before the festival, and some good folds were handed in, why is Comrade Li Er still asking about this now? Didn't Comrade Li Er see his own twists and turns?

Wang Ke was shocked in his heart, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, didn't the minister finish the matter before the festival, and he wrote it and handed it in!" Didn't the emperor see it? ”

Wang Ke's words made Comrade Li Er's face look ugly, because he read the recitals sent in here every day, but he really didn't see the one sent in by Wang Ke.

For Comrade Li Er, this kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice, it's better to say that what was sent before is gone, anyway, all ministries and departments have original documents on file, and if it's a big deal, I'll copy another copy and send it up, but Wang Ke's this is directly submitted to himself here, if he loses it, with Wang Ke's writing level, let him write it again, it will be even more difficult than asking him to die.

Seeing that Comrade Li Er's face changed, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling also beat a drum in their hearts, they didn't know what channel Wang Ke sent to Comrade Li Er, if it was handed up according to the normal procedure, then the two of them would not be able to escape the relationship!

Comrade Li Er turned around and called Yang Gonggong and asked him to quickly call Wang Si, it seems that he wants to ask Wang Si for clarification.

After Comrade Li Er did all this, he thought about the eldest grandson Wuji and asked, "Wuji, do you have anything to tell me when you come in today?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister and the little king have nothing to do today, when it comes to the selection of talents by the imperial court, they all feel that with the current system, it will make many capable people with great ambitions hidden in the people unable to be used by the court. ”

Comrade Li Er has always felt the seriousness of this problem, and has also discussed with Changsun Wuji and others what method to use to change this situation, but he has never come up with a proper way.

Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji say this today, he was also surprised in his heart, and asked again and again: "What is the method, Wuji quickly talk about it." Unexpectedly, as soon as this Wang family kid came back, he solved this big problem. ”

The meaning of Comrade Li Er's words is very clear, it is the idea that Wang Ke came up with, and maybe the eldest grandson Wuji also has some additions to it, but the big structure must have been thought up by Wang Ke.

Wang Ke took a step forward and said: "The emperor didn't say it right this time, this matter was thought up by the eldest grandson, and it has nothing to do with the minister, such a big thing, the minister can't think of it." ”

"Oh?"

Comrade Li Er was really a little surprised at this time, this Wang Ke didn't admit that he came up with it, but this problem has been raised for a long time, and I haven't seen anyone say clearly what method can be used to solve it, and now as soon as Wang Ke comes back, this eldest grandson Wuji has come up with a solution, which really makes Comrade Li Er a little surprised, and he is also a little puzzled.

Comrade Li Er turned to the eldest grandson Wuji again and asked, "What kind of method is that?" Wuji quickly said it, let me hear it, if it works, I will promulgate and implement it immediately! This is a big deal for the imperial court to select talents! ”

Fang Xuanling also had the same idea as Comrade Li Er, and this matter also fell on the eldest grandson Wuji, to see what he could say.

The eldest grandson Wuji can't be like prevaricating Fang Xuanling just now, but now it's time to see the real kung fu. There was no way, the eldest grandson Wuji had no choice but to look at Wang Ke's side, and said pretendedly: "The old man has a headache, so let's ask Lord Wang to come and talk about it for the old man." I wonder if Lord Wang is willing? ”

Wang Ke knew that the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't say it, so he pretended to say: "The eldest grandson commanded, how can the little nephew not be served." It's just that if the little nephew says something wrong or omitted, please ask the eldest grandson to come out and help the little nephew add one or two. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stood aside and nodded in agreement.

Wang Ke secretly glanced at Fang Xuanling, and found that Fang Xuanling was sitting there laughing slightly, knowing that he had seen something, and he didn't break it, and arched his hand to Comrade Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest grandson is sick, let the minister explain it for him, and ask the emperor for permission!" ”

Comrade Li Er waved his hand and said, "Say it." ”

Wang Ke was just about to open his mouth, when he saw his father walking in, he quickly stood aside, and waited for Wang Si and Comrade Li Er to finish speaking, and then spoke again.

Comrade Li Er explained to Wang Si the reason for calling him, and asked Wang Si to immediately find out the whereabouts of this recital.

Wang Ke cleared his throat and said: "Your Majesty, the selection of talents in this dynasty is based on the previous dynasty, and compared with the previous dynasties, there has been great progress. However, the channels for selecting and promoting talents are still a bit narrow, and they cannot make all the talented people in our dynasty use the emperor. I believe that the emperor can also see this very clearly. ”

Comrade Li Er stroked his beard and nodded, "The boy of the Wang family is very right, and I also have deep feelings about this issue. ”

Wang Ke hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is not what the minister said, this is all the analysis of the eldest grandson, the minister is just reading from the book and repeating the words of the eldest grandson." ”

Comrade Li Er does not want to find out who said this, he just wants to know what can be done to improve the current system and to have more talented people who can use it for themselves.

Comrade Li Er nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, it's not what you said." You can go on, what is the solution? ”

Wang Kegong continued: "The current selection system is just a recommendation by local ministers and the holding of irregular examinations to select talents among the scholars. This is a very small part of the entire Datang after all. And all the works examined are Confucianism. We all know that all dynasties and dynasties have used Confucianism to manage the people, and the use of Legalism to govern the world, whether the selected people can be competent for the work entrusted to him is a big question. All of us should change this issue now, expand the scope of admission, and face all the people in the entire Datang Dynasty, as long as you have the ability, you can pass the exam to get a future. Then according to the required work, different exams will be conducted, so that all kinds of talents can be used by the emperor! ”

After all, the eldest grandson Wuji is a character who has become a 'fine', and as soon as he saw Wang Ke finish speaking, he immediately continued: "Your Majesty, the minister also added that for the recommendation, it can be abolished, because since the implementation of this system, there are not many people who are outstanding, but many of them are 'mixed' to eat, and I think it is also officials at all levels who can't wipe their face, so they can't do it, it is better to pass the examination to select, which also seems fairer." ”

Comrade Li Er nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Is there anything else to say?" ”

Wang Ke just said for a long time, stopping just to catch his breath, but he was 'inserted' by the eldest grandson Wuji, and when he saw Comrade Li Er's question, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister still has one more matter, because the eldest grandson does not agree, the minister did not say it, and now the minister still wants to say it and let the emperor decide!" ”

"Say whatever you want!" Comrade Li Er glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and encouraged Wang Ke: "As long as it is beneficial to the imperial court, say it, if there is any problem, I will not blame you!" ”

Wang Ke arched his hand and said: "There is a rule in my dynasty that the family members of the ministers of the court are not allowed to be officials in the court. The minister was wondering, did this also make my dynasty lose a lot of virtuous ministers. The minister implored the emperor to remove this system and use it according to the merits, regardless of whether someone in his family was already an official in the court. ”

As soon as Wang Ke's words came out, even Fang Xuanling stood up. The eldest of his two sons has also grown up, but because of this system, Fang Xuanling has not let him enter the office, but he doesn't want him to be released as an official, the reason is actually the same as the eldest grandson Wuji's idea, I am afraid that if I go outside, it is a trivial matter to suffer a little, if there is any errand that is not done well, I am still out of reach, and if there is a big problem, it will be troublesome.

Now that Wang Ke has said it, Fang Xuanling has no worries, anyway, even if Comrade Li Er disagrees, he can only blame Wang Ke, and he can't blame himself.

After making up his mind, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, there is some truth in what Lord Xiao Wang said, since it is a science and university, and even the people can participate, then everyone should be treated equally, and this system is out of place." It's better to abolish it as Lord Xiao Wang said. In this way, maybe we can really select some available talents for the imperial court. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said that he didn't agree with Wang Ke just now, and now he has to pretend, so he said: "Your Majesty, Lord Xiao Wang's words are very meaningful, but the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to change too much now, and all the dishes are not allowed to be said by Lord Xiao Wang." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji meant that in fact, he also agreed with Wang Ke's proposal, but considering that the change was too big, he didn't agree, and he picked himself up at once.

Of course, Wang Ke also had to make a look of asking for the people's lives at this time, and retorted to the eldest grandson Wuji: "We all see that the emperor has encouraged the 'essence' to govern, forge ahead, and push into a new 'spirit' god, which hinders the development of the Tang Dynasty's system, how can the emperor continue to use it?" As a courtier, I should tell the emperor what I think, and the emperor will naturally have a holy judgment! ”

These words were another slap on the back of Comrade Li Er's sycophants, and he said his loyalty, which can only be good for Wang Ke, and there will be no harm at all, so Comrade Li Er can't stop nodding his head when he hears it.

After all, this matter is very important, and Comrade Li Er did not dare to be the slightest bit lazy, and after thinking about it, he said: "I want to think about this matter, if you have any suggestions, you can write an excerpt and hand it to me directly, and when all matters are perfected, I will issue an edict." ”

Comrade Li Er's words understood the meaning as soon as he heard this, and he would not have made a decision right away. Now that we're all about it, we can each go about it.

Fang Xuanling walked to Wang Ke's side and whispered to Wang Ke: "The virtuous nephew is amazing, such great merits have been given away!" ”

As soon as Wang Ke heard this, he knew that he had been seen through by Fang Xuanling, and he didn't dare to quibble, so he had to smile and gesture to Fang Xuanling.

Just about to go out with the two old killers, Wang Ke was stopped by Comrade Li Er, Wang Ke understood it as soon as he thought about it, he had to wait for his father to make it clear, and he wrote the twist and turn. I had to turn around and stay obediently, waiting for Wang Si to come in.
