Section 261 The request of the Son of Heaven

Welcoming the Son of Heaven into Xinfeng City, the Son of Heaven casually looked at the situation in the city, and asked Zhang Yue: "I heard that Xinfeng is conducting a public examination?" Aiqing, can you tell me about the public examination system? ”

Zhang Yue immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not give up, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson trusts, in charge of Xinfeng, since he was ordered, he has been sleeping at night, walking on thin ice, trembling, afraid that the talent of the ministers is shallow, so as to hurt His Majesty's holy virtue and the reputation of the eldest grandson, so he tosses and turns, and he can't sleep day and night......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue quietly raised his eyes and looked at the Son of Heaven.

found that the other party's expression was as usual, and he knew that his sycophant was right.

Your Majesty, don't look at him in his sixties this year, but in fact, many times, his heart is the same as that of a child.

Need to be coaxed.

It's no secret anymore!

Starting from Gongsun Hong, if you want to do things, you want to mess around, if you want to sit in a stable position, you have to coax him.

If you don't coax well, go straight to GG.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue continued: "Fortunately, there is the eldest grandson, and he mentioned the ministers in time, so that the ministers knew that His Majesty's holy will had already been clear, so the ministers studied the holy decree issued by His Majesty in the winter and November of the first year of Yuanshuo and the fifth year of Yuanfeng......

The smile on Tianzi's face became stronger and stronger when he listened, and his heart was even more comfortable.

Seeing this, Liu Jin, who was on the side, also hurriedly bowed: "Grandson has the courage to privately figure out the holy will of the emperor's grandfather, and hopes that the emperor's grandfather will forgive his sins!" ”

The Son of Heaven immediately asked people to help Liu Jin and Zhang Yue up, and said with a smile: "Jin'er and Zhang Shizhong did a good job!" ”

"If all the courtiers in the world are like children and servants, why should I work?" As he spoke, he swept his gaze to the courtiers around him, and his heart was more or less dissatisfied.

In his opinion, he has issued countless edicts, and has also had countless painstaking advice to Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu, the world's corporals, doctors, officials and nobles, to ask them to be loyal to the king, let them be diligent in government affairs, and the most important thing is to let them learn and experience their painstaking work in the edict.

Why is there no one who understands these things like the eldest grandson and Zhang Zizhong? Learn these?

The ministers were seen by him like this, and immediately bowed: "The ministers are guilty of capital crimes, and they can't know Your Majesty's holy will!" ”

"Humph!" The Son of Heaven snorted in his nostrils, and then said to Zhang Yue: "Zhang Qing continues to tell me about the system of this public examination......

"No!" Zhang Yue bowed.

So, I picked up some key points of the Xinfeng public examination system.

The Son of Heaven listened with burning eyes and thoughtfulness.

This public examination system, in fact, he has already received reports from the eunuchs and nobles sent in Xinfeng in Chang'an.

The causes, consequences and details are also known.

But after Zhang Yue explained it in detail, he found that there were really a lot of twists and turns in this public examination.

But it doesn't matter!

He thought for a while and asked, "In Qing's opinion, this public examination system can be suitable for social selection?" ”

Since the Yuan Dynasty, the Han country has been selected into a talent desert.

Not only is there no famous general in the country, but even the famous ministers are withering day by day.

Between Yuanguang, Yuanding, and Yuanshuo, the glorious era is gone.

Therefore, expanding the scope of talent selection and increasing the method of talent selection have in fact been put on the agenda for a long time.

But......

Since Pingjin offered Gongsun Hong, the country's outgoing prime minister is not a politician with real insight.

On the contrary, politicians are the majority.

These scum are first-class in their ability to be officials, and their ability to do things is almost zero.

Especially the last two prime ministers, Muqiu Tianhou Shiqing and now Ge Yihou Gongsun He, are even more typical incompetent!

There was no way, he could only set up the Prime Minister's Mansion, and ingeniously formed the Inner Dynasty with Shang Shulang and the officials in the inner court, and used his cronies and people around him to handle government affairs.

However, this is only a stopgap measure after all.

The inner dynasty cannot truly replace the outer dynasty.

After all, there are few people and few officials in the inner court, and it is very good to be able to make decisions

The executors are still outside civil officials.

So over the years, he has been thinking about how to expand the scope of talent selection and increase the number of talents obtained by the country as much as possible.

The old probation system is already embarrassing for such a heavy task.

After all, the current Han dynasty is far ahead of the Qin and Zhou dynasties, and has almost reached the pinnacle of the Chinese dynasty in history.

Just going from the southern end of the empire to the northern end of the empire, I'm afraid it will take a year or two.

The country's population is also at its peak!

To rule and govern such a large empire, it is still an empire structured as a centralized authority.

The officials needed were not twelve thousand, nor one hundred or twenty thousand.

It's hundreds of thousands!

Under such circumstances, the state's thirst for officials is increasing day by day.

However, the old probation system, which could provide the country's talents every year, was fixed.

Such a situation has already made the current day very unhappy.

He had long wanted to break the deadlock.

Xinfeng's public examination, in his opinion, is a good choice.

The public examination in just one county can attract thousands of people to participate!

What if the country holds a public examination at the national level?

And then take out the high-ranking official positions of local counties and counties as bait?

Wouldn't that allow talents from all over the world to come in one after another and throw themselves into the warm embrace of the Han Empire?

This is where this son of heaven cares unusually about the Xinfeng public examination.

Zhang Yue listened, but his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, I think there is no need to rush to introduce the Xinfeng public examination system into the national ...... for the time being."

"Huh?" The Son of Heaven is a little unhappy, didn't he say okay, did you take the public examination in accordance with my holy will?

Since my will can be practiced in Xinfeng, it will definitely be able to be practiced in the world!

If it weren't for Zhang Yue, if it weren't for another person, he might have been furious and dragged down.

Zhang Yue hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the public examination is created, and the pros and cons have not yet been figured out, if you rashly use it in the world, the ministers may miss something, if Xinfeng tries it for a while, when the system matures, it is not too late to introduce it into the court......

If this hastily created system is now used as a system for the state to elect officials.

Aside from that, there is one thing that is certain - it must be fraud and chaos.

What's especially terrifying is that there may be a big mess.

When the time comes, there will be a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition, and all the pots will be on Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue now has small arms and legs, and he can't afford it.

The Son of Heaven thought about it, and felt that it seemed to make some sense, so he asked Xinfeng to try it out for a few years and see the results, so he stopped the topic and asked Zhang Yue with a smile: "I came from Chang'an, and I haven't had breakfast yet, what kind of hospitality do you have?" ”

When Zhang Yue heard it, he still didn't understand what this majesty meant? Immediately said: "Please move your majesty to the palace, wait a while, and the minister will prepare a meal for your majesty......"

"Hmm!" The Son of Heaven smiled slightly, very satisfied.

As long as you can eat the same delicious food as last time, this trip to Xinfeng is worth it!
