Chapter 400: Reform
Qin Tian didn't go directly to those scholars, but first made a detour into the palace.
After coming to the side hall and seeing Li Shimin, Li Shimin and the others were stunned for a moment.
"You've already persuaded those scholars away?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked.
Qin Tian shook his head: "I haven't gone yet." ”
Everyone was a little dumbfounded, and Li Shimin snorted lightly: "What are you doing in the palace without going?" ”
Qin Tiandao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I have already understood the situation on the way here, and I have already thought of ways to persuade them to quit, but if this method is to be feasible, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must personally go out of the palace and tell those scholars." ”
Hearing that he let himself out of the palace and tell those scholars, Li Shimin immediately frowned, and he had some ominous premonitions.
"What's your solution?"
"Simple, carry out the reform of the imperial examination."
"Imperial examination reform?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, the imperial examination system was established during the Sui Dynasty, and it has only been more than ten years now, and it has only been a few exams in ten years, and it has only been reformed after a few exams, Qin Tian is sure that he is not joking?
Everyone looked at Qin Tian, and Li Shimin also looked at Qin Tian and asked, "Can the reform of the imperial examination solve these things?" ”
Qin Tian smiled: "What excuse, just tell them that the previous imperial examination system was not fair enough, and those who were really talented and learned were not admitted, which is really inappropriate, and the imperial court wants everyone with real talent and learning to be able to be admitted to the Jinshi, so it is necessary to improve the imperial examination system, in this way, as soon as they hear that it makes sense, are they going to leave?" ”、
After hearing Qin Tian say this, everyone suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
Originally, I thought that Qin Tian really had a way to reform the imperial examination system, but he never thought that it was just an excuse to deceive those scholars.
Kong Yingda stood aside, his eyebrows slightly condensed, a little displeased, he hoped that these scholars would be able to enter the court and become officials, but the method that Qin Tian came up with turned out to be a lie.
Immediately, Kong Yingda stood up: "What should I do when I take the imperial examination next year, those scholars find that there is no change from the usual, what should they do if they make trouble again?" ”
This problem, everyone else has also thought of it, those scholars are not stupid, they deceived them this year, and next year they are just afraid to notice it, at that time, things are only afraid that things will be even worse.
Everyone looked at Qin Tian again, but Qin Tian was not in a hurry, and said: "Next year, the imperial examination will resume, there will always be so many people who will be admitted to the Jinshi, and if someone is admitted to the Jinshi, there will not be many people who want to make trouble, otherwise, when the examination is next year, it will be a little fairer to make the imperial examination a little fairer, isn't it okay?" ”
Speaking of this, Qin Tian paused before continuing: "Well, things have to be improved slowly after all, I think those scholars should be able to understand." ”
Kong Yingda didn't speak, and the eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you can try this method." ”
Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Try it, go!" ”
The group walked towards the outside of the palace, and Qin Tian followed behind, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
This thing is a hot potato, and he naturally knows it, these readers, that's so offended?
Of course, the imperial examination system was reformed in the Song Dynasty, becoming more fair and giving the common people more opportunities, but that kind of system can only be reformed under the specific environment of the Song Dynasty, after all, at that time, the scholars and magnates were less, and the reform was convenient to implement.
If he dares to carry out such a reform in the Tang Dynasty, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, the family or something, will have to eat him.
He didn't want to go against these people, so there might be a little bit of reform at that time, but a thorough reform like the Song Dynasty was not realistic enough.
Even if it is a reform, he doesn't want to get involved and offend those powerful families, so it's best to let Li Shimin come out.
When the group left the palace, those scholars shouted and rushed up again, but as soon as they took a step, they suddenly saw that the leader was Li Shimin, and immediately stopped again.
In the end, it is the crown prince, they are still afraid.
There was silence in front of the palace.
Li Shimin looked at those people and said: "Your feelings, this prince can understand, but what this prince can tell you is that the imperial examination will not be banned, but this year because of state affairs, it has been temporarily canceled, and then there is that this prince feels that there are many places in the imperial examination that are not very fair, and those who are really talented and learn cannot be displayed, how can this work, are you willing to work hard to learn, but you lose the opportunity to enter the career because of some unfair treatment?" ”
Li Shimin said, those scholars listened, but when Li Shimin paused after saying this, a scholar suddenly stood up: "The imperial examination, there is nothing unfair, I think it is very fair, talented people can be appreciated, and those who don't have it can't?" ”
Some people questioned the fairness of Li Shimin's words, which suddenly stumped Li Shimin, in fact, he didn't think there was anything unfair about the imperial examination system, the test papers of talented people are obviously different from other people's, how can talented people be buried?
But without giving an example, these people are afraid that they will not give up.
Therefore, Li Shimin could only look at Qin Tian, Qin Tian secretly complained to himself, and let Li Shimin come, just to escape direct contact with these scholars, but who would have thought that these scholars were not easy to coax.
There was no way, Qin Tian could only stand up: "Actually, there are still some unfairness, for example, the examiner knows who each test paper is, because there is a name written on it, but if someone bribes the examiner, or this person has some relationship with the examiner, will the examiner do something from it?" The imperial court will find a way to put an end to this situation at that time, so that the examiner cannot know whose test paper is whom, so that it can be considered fair, of course, in addition, there are many things that need to be improved, this year is definitely not possible, everyone can wait until next year. ”
After Qin Tian finished speaking, everyone suddenly felt a little enlightened, this situation was so obvious, why didn't they notice it before?
There was a lot of discussion among the people, Qin Tian smiled secretly in his heart, you have only taken the exam a few times, it is strange to be able to detect it, the imperial examination, the first few games must be relatively fair, but the more you go forward, the more people will use their brains to cheat, but before no one uses their brains to cheat, there will naturally be no question of fairness or unfairness.
Everyone felt that what Qin Tian said made sense, and Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief, but just when they felt that the matter should be able to end, a scholar suddenly stood up again: "We have been in the capital for a long time, whether it is fair or not, why can't we take the exam first this year, and then say that it will not work next year?" ”
Some scholars seemed to be quite confident in themselves, and the corners of Qin Tian's mouth moved slightly: "It's unfair, it's irresponsible to those who have real talent and learning, and the imperial court will never do this." ”
