"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has not married yet, and there are too few concubines in the harem, is there a draft?" Prime Minister Gu looked at the emperor in front of him and spoke cautiously.

Although Xie Junze ascended the throne with his support, I have to say that his means are indeed good, and he does deserve this throne.

When he first ascended the throne, he was still worried that this young emperor would not be able to suppress Prime Minister Wan and the Queen Mother, but he didn't expect him to suppress them at once with thunder and quickly control the court.

Thinking of this, Gu Bai looked at Xie Junze's gaze with more satisfaction, but thinking of his own uncompetitive granddaughter, Gu Bai secretly felt pity in his heart, but no matter who Gu Xueyan married at that time, he would definitely firmly support the emperor.

"This ......" Xie Junze hesitated, frowned and thought about it, but postponed: "Forget it, it has not been three years since the death of the emperor, and holding a draft at this time may be said by the people of the world that I do not value filial piety, since ancient times, filial piety has come first, and I should set an example for the world." ”

"Alas, it was the old minister who didn't think it through, but he caused trouble to His Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty won't blame it." After thinking clearly, Gu Bai calmly admitted that he hadn't thought it through.

"Prime Minister Gu is also for my good, and I have lived up to Prime Minister Gu's kindness." Xie Junze waved his hand and took the fault on himself.

"Your Majesty, whether to continue the selection of talents, if you continue to let all localities select talents according to filial piety, the minister is worried that there will be people in the middle of the troubled water."

"Prime Minister don't worry, this I plan to hold the imperial examination to select talents through the examination, and when the time comes, I will have to worry a lot about Prime Minister Gu." Xie Junze quickly stretched his brows now.

"Imperial examinations? I don't know what the content of this exam is about? And how is it held? ”

"The content of the examination is centered on Confucianism, and then runs through the four classics and five meanings, so that those who have real talents and real learning can be selected, but I believe that those who are from poor families, but have both ability and political integrity, can also be selected from all over the country through the method of promoting filial piety and virtue, but in the end they still have to pass the examination, but there is no need to take the township test." Xie Junze said what he thought.

"Of course, if such a person doesn't have real talent and real learning, then he won't be allowed to get any titles such as show talent, lifting people, etc., in this way, it will also appear fair and just, I don't know what the prime minister thinks?" After saying his thoughts, Xie Jun

Ze looked at Gu Bai and asked.

"This ...... This method is good, but the minister is worried that there will still be people who use this fraud, so it is better to unify the system of using the imperial examination. Prime Minister Gu stroked his beard, "Then it is stipulated that Xiucai, Juren and others can hang a certain amount of fields for free under their names, and they can be exempted from taxes on these fields, and they only need to register with the county government." ”

"This is a good method, which can not only encourage those poor families, but also help the country select talents, killing two birds with one stone." After Xie Junze listened, he immediately understood the benefits and said happily.

"Then the old minister will go down and make arrangements." Gu Bai was also glad that his idea had been adopted by the king, so he wanted to go down and finish this matter immediately.

"The prime minister doesn't need to worry, I ordered the people of the Ministry of Officials to do it, the Prime Minister will wait here first, and I will immediately let the Ministry of Propaganda and the Ministry of Officials meet me." Xie Junze stopped Gu Bai and told him not to run back and forth.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Knowing the emperor's kindness, Gu Bai did not shirk it, and sat down in the imperial study.

Li Sheng got the news and immediately sent someone to the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion to announce an audience.

After receiving the news, the official Shangshu hurriedly put on his court clothes and came to the imperial study.

"Weichen see the emperor, the emperor is blessed with Jin'an." knelt on the ground and saluted, and Wang Licai, the secretary of the ministry, got up after hearing Xie Junze say that he was exempt from courtesy.

"Wang Li, I ordered you to immediately go and do something related to the selection of the imperial examination, you must check it at all levels, and you must not release water, and if you don't understand something, you can ask Prime Minister Gu, you and Prime Minister Gu are responsible for this matter, understand?" Xie Junze sat on the dragon chair, very majestic.

"Obey." Wang Li and Gu Bai knelt on the ground together and saluted.

"In this way, then I hope that Wang Aiqing will not live up to my expectations." Xie Junze looked at Wang Li coldly.

"Wechen will not live up to the emperor's entrustment, and Wechen will retire." Wang Li reluctantly said under pressure.

"Hmm." Responding lightly, Xie Junze ordered someone to send them out.

Out of the imperial study, Wang Li looked at Gu Bai and said with a flattering smile: "Prime Minister Gu, I don't know if you know the specific method of the imperial examination that the emperor said." ”

"Lord Wang, let's go to your house to talk in detail." Gu Bai looked around and said with a smile.

"Let's go to Prime Minister Gu's mansion, so that you can avoid the Prime Minister going back and forth." Wang Like

I didn't dare to let this old prime minister, who assisted the emperors of the three dynasties, run back and forth with an old bone.

Didn't you see that Your Majesty deliberately called someone to call him in order to avoid Prime Minister Gu from going back and forth, if Your Majesty knew that he let the old Prime Minister go back and forth, the black gauze hat on his head would definitely not be able to be saved.

"It's okay, since that's the case, I'll bother Lord Wang to go more." Gu Bai didn't shirk it, he was so old that he really couldn't help but get up and run back and forth.

"No trouble, no trouble, Prime Minister Gu Cheng, please." Wang Li was polite, and then stretched out his hand to let Gu Bai go first.

After arriving at Prime Minister Gu Cheng's mansion, the two went to the study and discussed until nightfall, and after making sure that everything was in order, Wang Li went home.

In Cixi Palace, the spies came to report that Prime Minister Gu Cheng had entered the palace today, and soon after Wang Li, the secretary of the ministry, entered the palace again, and finally Prime Minister Gu and Wang Li left together, and the two discussed for a while, went to Prime Minister Gu's mansion, and did not leave until it was dark.

After receiving this news, the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan immediately ordered someone to bring a pen and paper, wrote a letter and packed it, and asked people to quietly send it to Prime Minister Wancheng's mansion.

On this night, some people had a good night's sleep, and some people couldn't sleep all night.

After receiving the letter the next day, Prime Minister Wan immediately asked people to investigate, and after getting the results, his face was very gloomy, and he sent someone to invite the King of Jin to come to the house.

After King Jin arrived, he looked at Prime Minister Wan with a displeased face, "I wonder why the Prime Minister is in such a hurry to invite this king over?" ”

"Lord Wang, please take a look." He handed the letter to Xie Yuan, and told the King of Jin the results of his investigation.

"This is not easy to do, Brother Huang this time, I'm afraid it is just to prevent us from doing it."

"Then Your Majesty, should we ...... Wang Li" Prime Minister Wan Cheng said with a gesture and scratched his neck.

"It's not proper, it's easy for people to catch the handle in this way, it's still early, this king has his own idea about this matter, and the prime minister can't act rashly." Xie Yuan shook his head, disagreeing with Wanda's approach.

"In that case, the minister will follow what the prince said, and I hope that the prince will not disappoint the mother and the minister."

Hearing Prime Minister Wan say this, Xie Yuan's face sank, but it was only a matter of a moment, he quickly recovered his calm and breezy appearance, and turned to leave.

After Xie Yuan left, Wanda snorted disdainfully, and secretly scolded in his heart.
