Chapter 289: Imperial Examination Reform (2) (2nd Update)

The Yanjia Hall of Taiji Palace used to be just a palace where ordinary concubines lived, but for the time being, it has become a place where the queen lives.

Very simply, Xingqing Palace is still under repair, and Emperor Taishang Li Yi and his concubines temporarily live in Daming Palace, so Li Ye can only temporarily live in Taiji Palace after ascending the throne.

The Taiji Palace was seriously damaged in the previous war, and many palaces were relatively dilapidated, and even the Lizheng Palace, where the eldest grandson queen lived, could not be inhabited.

It can be said that Li Ye's enthronement ceremony may be the second-to-last among the previous emperors of the Tang Dynasty, and the worst should be Suzong, after all, this is the throne of Fengxiang.

Li Ye has no intention of going to large-scale renovation of Taiji Palace for the time being, so he can only live for a while, and wait for Li Yi to move out and vacate Daming Palace.

But fortunately, the scale of Li Ye's harem is not huge, and the current Taiji Palace palace is quite enough.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? The face is a little unpleasant. Liu Chenyan gently massaged Li Ye and asked gently.

At this time, Liu Chenyan had already taken off her heavy headdress and was wearing a slightly thin skirt.

After Li Ye ascended the throne, he did not say that he would be re-established as a queen, Liu Chenyan, who was the princess of Shou, was naturally named the queen, Sun Mei was Concubine Li, Wang Wanshuang was contoured, Xiaoying was Zhaoyi, Xiaoyue was Zhaorong, He Hanyan was Xiuyi, Li Xianglan, Zhang Manhua and others were Jieyu, Wang Ci, Pei Zhenyi (Wenxi Pei's daughter) and others were not fortunate to be named talents by Li Ye because of their age, and other bride maids such as Liu Chenyan , Sun Mei and others were all named the seven royal maids.

Although the queen was established, Li Ye did not set up a prince.

Joke, he's still so young, why is the crown prince for?

"It's not those ministers yet, if I want to do something, they will oppose it." Li Ye explained.

"Then hit them with your fists, they are definitely not as strong as Your Majesty." Liu Chenyan said angrily.

Li Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Yan'er, you are a queen, pay attention to your demeanor, you look like a queen." ”

Liu Chenyan stuck out her tongue and made a bitter face, "This queen is too tired, it's not as good as before." I feel that the other sisters have also changed, unlike before when they could sit together and talk. ”

Li Ye nodded, "There will be gains and losses, this identity can only be adapted, you are a person who wants to be the mother of the world." There was nothing in the palace before, but now, Yan'er, you have to be serious, at least manage this harem, otherwise I will not only have to manage state affairs, but also manage harem affairs, where do I have so much energy. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Yan'er will do it hard." Liu Chenyan smiled and said, "What does Your Majesty want to do to make the ministers disagree?" ”

"It's nothing, I just want to change the imperial examination, but as a result, some ministers jumped out directly against it as if they had been stepped on by the tail. I can't just remove or kill these ministers because of this, and then the court will be finished. Li Ye didn't shy away from it, and directly said the reason.

Liu Chenyan shook her head and thought about it, "Yan'er doesn't understand this, but it must make sense to want to come to Your Majesty to do this." It's a pity that Yan'er's brothers don't understand this, otherwise you can ask them. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Those ministers are too underestimated by me, and they can't stop what I'm going to do, so they were, and they will do it in the future. And what I'm doing now, too! ”

Liu Chenyan was stunned, "Do it now?" ”

When she turned around and saw Li Ye's evil smile, she felt bad in her heart, Rao was not as fast as Li Ye's movements.

With a soft cry, her body was directly picked up, and under the red-faced gaze of the palace maids, she walked towards the bed in the depths of the hall。。。。。

。。。。。。

The next day, when Li Ye accompanied Liu Chenyan, Sun Mei's daughters and a group of children to play in the garden next to Nanhai (a small lake in Taiji Palace), a eunuch came to Li Ling, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to ask to see him.

Li Ye was a little surprised, it wouldn't be that this secretary of the Ministry of Rites had written the fold so quickly, and it wouldn't be to deal with him.

Whether to deal with him or not, you can only know by watching.

After giving two orders, let Liu Chenyan and the others play by themselves, and he came to the Liangyi Palace, and Li Yan had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing the other party with obvious dark circles, Li Ye roughly guessed.

"Aiqing, this is the memora on the reform of the imperial examination?" Li Ye asked subconsciously.

Hearing the word 'reform', Li Ling had a bottom in his heart, it seemed that His Majesty really wanted to reform, and hurriedly said, "Back to Your Majesty, since the time for the imperial examination has been set, the minister does not dare to delay for too long, so he summarized the opinions of all his colleagues, and then wrote this letter overnight according to some of the minister's views. ”

Saying that, Li Li handed over the fold to Zhang Wei, and then stepped aside and stood quietly.

Seeing this book called "The Reform of the Imperial Examination", Li Ye picked it up and looked at it carefully.

The content is quite a bit, about a few thousand words. Don't think that there are few words, this is written in ancient Chinese, that is, what later generations called classical Chinese, if translated into vernacular, it is tens of thousands of words.

In one night, he was able to write so much, which shows that Li Li didn't rest much.

The content is very rich, which shows that Li Li is very attentive.

It's just that the other party suggested reform, which surprised him a little.

As for the reform method, it was not what Li Ye had in mind at the beginning.

According to Li Ling's recital, this one retains the original Jinshi and Mingjing, but there are some restrictions on the number of places.

In order not to disobey his wishes, the other party suggested reopening the Xiucai Department.

This is different from the Xiucai course, which was abolished soon after it was established in the early Tang Dynasty, and the newly opened Xiucai subject includes miscellaneous subjects such as arithmetic, law, and medicine that Li Ye has always wanted to include in the exam, as well as the content of current affairs, scriptures, and poetry.

It can be said that Xiucaike reappeared by catering to Li Ye.

After reading this letter, Li Ye thought it was quite interesting. This Li Ling did not offend the ministers who opposed the reform, nor did he disobey his wishes, but also helped him to ease the contradictions with other ministers who opposed him.

Interesting!

However, there are also many problems with this compromise, after all, it was only written in one night.

"Aiqing has a heart. Aiqing didn't have a good rest last night? Looking at Li Ling's expression, Li Ye instructed Zhang Wei next to him, "Prepare a chair for Li Shangshu." ”

Immediately, a eunuch carried a wooden chair to Li Ling's side, which made Li Li a little moved, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, I don't want to hear my minister fall ill in office." Li Ye said with a smile, "According to what Aiqing said in the compromise, limit the number of Jinshi and Ming Jing Subjects, and increase the number of Xiucai Subjects. I don't know if Aiqing can elaborate on it, why do you have this idea? ”

Li Ying replied, "Back to Your Majesty, as Du Shilang said yesterday, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and you should not be in a hurry. Yesterday, the ministers saw that Du Shilang, Liu Shilang and others had a firm attitude against reform, and if His Majesty insisted on reform, it would inevitably lead to tension between the monarch and the minister, which would be of no benefit to the current imperial court.

Therefore, after thinking about it, the minister felt that he could find another way, add new subjects, and open corresponding subjects according to His Majesty's wishes.

If there is only one subject in the imperial examination, the students of Guangzhou University will inevitably be a little caught off guard, and it is possible to cause a riot. Moreover, the imperial weighting poems and scriptures have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the majority of scholars, and if they are suddenly canceled, the ministers think it is inappropriate.

It just so happens that the number of students recruited by the Jinshi Department and the Ming Economics Department is small every year, so the number of students is simply fixed, and then the number of recruits in the Xiucai Department is increased.

In addition, His Majesty can also make appropriate adjustments and give preferential treatment to the official appointments of those who are selected in the Xiucai Division.

In the long run, you can subtly change the views of the world's scholars. ”

Li Ye's eyes lit up, and Li Ling's suggestion proposed a good method for him at that time, but he hadn't thought of doing it before.

"What Aiqing said is very true, but I am a little anxious. However, there are many loopholes in Aiqing's performance, and it took two days, and two days later, Aiqing gave me a more detailed detailed detail. Li Ye said with a smile.

Li Li was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty." I don't know how many people are in the three subjects? What is the ratio of the children of the poor family and the family? ”

Li Ye glanced at the other party more, but he didn't expect the other party to know that he wanted to limit the proportion, and said with a smile, "Jinshi is twenty, Mingjing is thirty, Xiucai is one hundred, and the ratio between the poor family and the family is two to three." ”

Two to three, which means that in this imperial examination, the children from the family can only recruit sixty people, which is a big deal.

And this year, there are a lot of students!

Especially the Xiucai Branch, to recruit a hundred people, it seems that His Majesty's determination is very great.

Later, Li Ye successively received many ministers' compendiums, some opposed and some supported, and he read them all.

It's just that these ministers don't know that Li Ye actually has a decision in his heart.

Two days later, at the meeting, the opinions of the ministers were synthesized, and a report on the "New System of Imperial Examinations" was released.

This is slightly different from what Li Ye and Li Ying discussed before, but only in terms of numbers. In the end, the Jinshi Department was adjusted to 15 people, and the Ming Jing Department was changed to 35 people.

With the unanimous agreement on the reform of the imperial examination, there was no need for Li Ye to hide it, and he made public the new system for this year's imperial examination. At the same time, Li Pei was appointed as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and Li Ti, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Li Zhen, the commander of Jinyiwei, were responsible for supervising the imperial examination.
