Soon after the military parade, the much-anticipated Qiu Qiu immediately kicked off, and the highlight of Qiu Qiu was the chief examiner candidate for Kaifeng Mansion and other three capitals.

Today's Qiang Han Dynasty continued the Three Capitals system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, namely the Daimyo Mansion in Beijing, the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, and the Henan Mansion in Xijing.

These three capitals adopted a system of direct administration, and the status of their governors was much higher than that of the other prefectures. In addition, the chief examiner who presided over the three Jingzhou examinations was directly appointed by the imperial court as usual.

In the Great Zhou, the candidates for the chief examiners of the three capitals were collectively discussed and decided by the ministers of the political hall.

It's just that Li Zhongyi attaches great importance to educational examinations and the selection of talents, so he sent the matter to the cabinet, the political affairs hall, the six ministries and nine secretaries, and the collective discussion of the Hanlin Academy.

However, the most important thing for the scholars was the right to select scholars for the imperial examination, and they all wanted to be examiners themselves or their protégés as examiners.

In this way, the consequence of Li Zhongyi's expansion of the scope of deliberation is that all the candidates for the chief examiners of the three capitals are difficult to deliver.

What is surprising is that the seemingly unusually united Wenchen Group is presented in front of Li Zhongyi in a state full of contradictions at this critical juncture.

Li Zhongyi actually has an indifferent attitude towards the chief examiner of the state examination, which is also inseparable from the implementation of the imperial examination system of the Great Zhou Dynasty in this dynasty.

According to the system of the Great Zhou, after the scholar passes the county examination, he is the current talent, and after passing the state examination, he is the current person.

However, unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties, Xiucai and Juren enjoyed great privileges, if the Juren of this dynasty could not be promoted to become an official, they still needed to take the county examination next time and passed the state examination again before they were eligible to participate in the provincial examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites.

In other words, the so-called lifter, as long as he is not in the jinshi, is just a vain head, and he is just an honorific title for a scholar, and has no substantive privileges.

The imperial examination system has been held for so many years, and even if Li Zhongyi wants to reform, he will not make a fuss about the county and state examinations, but must be on the occasion of the palace examination.

In fact, the logic is very clear, if major reforms are made now, the qualified talents who meet Li Zhongyi's requirements are still far from sufficient.

More importantly, people all over the world have read the Four Books and Five Classics for more than ten years, and have also studied poetry and songs for many years. If Li Zhongyi suddenly announced that he would not take the Four Books and Five Classics and poetry and songs, it would be tantamount to cutting off the road to progress and hope for the future of the majority of readers, and something big would definitely happen.

In the cabinet, Li Qiong and Zhe Congruan were both military ministers, and they were not interested in the imperial examination, so they were silent.

The cabinet ministers who really made contradictions were actually Liu Jinshan and Kong Kun. Liu Jinshan's proposition, in a word, cannot be re-entered alone.

Kong Kun is a descendant of the sage and a well-known Confucian, he naturally took it as his responsibility to maintain the dominance of Confucianism, and spared no effort to suppress the status of miscellaneous subjects such as Ming Jing, Ming Calculation, Ming Law, and Ming Shu in the imperial examination.

After Li Zhongyi learned the position of Liu Jinshan and Kong Kun, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, as the saying goes, the ass decides the head, this statement is not false!

Liu Jinshan was born in a small official, and he naturally knows that among the small officials, there are actually many talents who are proficient in governing the country.

However, all dynasties, as long as they were on the right track, they would deprive the officials of their right to participate in the imperial examinations. As a result, the officials were overshadowed and the petty officials who could not see hope were greedy for their subordinates, and the officialdom became a miasma, and the situation deteriorated day by day.

Kong Kun is a famous Confucian, what he has learned in his life is concentrated on the Four Books and Five Classics and poems and songs.

Li Zhongyi saw very clearly that the dispute between Liu and Kong involved the dispute over the basic national policy of exclusive respect for Confucianism, and it was impossible to rely on quarrels to produce any meaningful and good results.

Time dragged on day by day, and seeing that there were only two months left before the autumn season, it really couldn't drag on, Kong Kun and Liu Jinshan had to respectfully ask Li Zhongyi to judge.

The relationship between Li Zhongyi and Wenchen Group was not close in the first place, and he couldn't get a suitable candidate in his pocket.

"Ahem, since you both want me to speak, let's just draw lots." Li Zhongyi did not want to mix with the quarrel between respecting Confucianism and weak Confucianism, so he simply put forward an opinion that seemed absurd, but was extremely fair, just and open.

Liu Jinshan and Kong Kun were dumbfounded on the spot, the chief examiner of the imperial court's talent selection ceremony actually had to rely on drawing lots to decide, if this news spread, wouldn't it be drowned by the spittle of the people who read all over the world?

It was only now that Liu Jinshan and Kong Kunfang realized that Li Zhongyi could not be regarded as a scholar at all.

Don't talk about anything else, just after Li Zhongyi took power, he stopped the system of talking about the feast. The reason is actually very simple, although he has read the Four Books and Five Classics for a period of time, and his academic attainments such as classics and history, he is notoriously poor.

Alas, the ministers are making trouble below, and the lord is fainting from above, this is the most intuitive feeling of folding Congruan!

Li Qiong thinks that the lottery system is not a good way to solve the problem? Anyway, Li Zhongyi is a real son of heaven right away!

After Li Zhongyi made a bad move, Liu Jinshan and Kong Kun both knew that they couldn't quarrel anymore, otherwise, if they really came up with the trick of drawing lots, how would they behave?

Seeing that Liu Jinshan and Kong Kun were no longer quarrelling, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, small, then quarrel, continue to quarrel, why don't you quarrel?

In the end, under the auspices of Li Zhongyi, an ingenious approach was adopted, that is, Li Zhongyi, Liu Jinshan and Kong Kun each designated one person to act as the chief examiner of Sanjing, and finally resolved the huge controversy.

After the chief examiner was determined, it was followed by the biggest event in the entire imperial court, the ceremony of Li Zhongyi's official enthronement as emperor.

With Li Zhongyi's nature, he chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, summoned the ministers to watch the ceremony, and then ate and drank and rewarded him, and it was over.

However, the ascension of the new monarch to the throne was really the highlight of the transfer of power that the Confucian disciples particularly valued. The four ministers of the cabinet were originally four different ways, but now they all agree to operate it in a big way.

"The inner treasury is almost empty, the war of unification is about to start in full swing, and I really don't have any money."

Li Zhongyi was worried that the ministers of the cabinet were eyeing his private treasury, so he took the initiative to take a preventive shot in advance.

really let Li Zhongyi guess correctly, and the ministers of the cabinet all put their minds on the inner treasury full of bowls. It's just that Li Zhongyi spoke first, which made everyone embarrassed to persecute too much in person.

"I have always advocated frugality, and there is no need to be too extravagant." Li Zhongyi is telling the truth, the country has just changed to Ding, and all aspects need money, and it really needs to save some money.

"The emperor is the lord of the world, and if the enthronement ceremony is too simple, I am afraid it will make the foreign country laugh." Kong Kun continued, "Although the imperial court is not financially rich now, there is still room for a few million yuan, right? ”

Li Zhongyi was secretly amused, the four ministers of the cabinet were not financial experts, and they were not particularly clear about the expenses of the imperial court.

Similar to spending a lot of money, it involves opening up sources and reducing expenditures and demolishing the east to make up for the west, and only by asking Huang Jingsheng, the third secretary, can we know the accurate figures.
