Bang Bang ......

There was water dripping onto Qin Tian's face, Qin Tian's cheeks twitched slightly, he looked up, and popped, and water dripped onto his face.

He hurriedly dodged it, and then he saw it clearly, it turned out that the imperial study was leaking.

"Holy Lord, it's time for you to repair this imperial study."

At this time, Qin Tiancai found that a basin had been placed elsewhere and was also receiving water.

Li Shimin was a little embarrassed, as an emperor, it was indeed a bit unreasonable to live in such a room.

"Now that the treasury is empty, if it doesn't rain, it's not much of a problem, so let's repair it when we have money in the future."

Nowadays, the women in the harem have begun to cut back on food and clothing, and he Li Shimin can't be too extravagant, Qin Tian saw Li Shimin like this, and said: "The saint is really a virtuous king, and the saint is so frugal, why worry that my Tang Dynasty is not strong?" It's just to repair the house and prevent rain leaks, and it really doesn't cost a lot of money, and the Holy One doesn't have to save in this area, as long as it is not extravagant and wasteful. ”

Qin Tian's previous words were a slap on Li Shimin's ass, but the latter words were a little bit of thinking that Li Shimin was too hypocritical.

Yes, today's Datang is very short of money, but saving money should not be saved in this regard, but extravagance and waste should be prohibited.

After Qin Tian finished saying this, Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Qin Aiqing is right, I will send someone to repair when the rain stops." ”

After saying this, Li Shimin said: "Okay, I called you here today, not for this matter, the matter of the imperial examination has been promulgated, and the scholars in Chang'an, the capital, are looking forward to it, but we said before that we want to carry out the reform of the imperial examination and make the imperial examination more fair, you said it at the time, and now I want to ask you, how to make the imperial examination system fair?" ”

Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji also looked at Qin Tian at this time, and every policy of Qin Tian had the potential to have a great impact on them.

Because, the two of them, standing behind them are actually two major forces, one is an aristocratic family, and the other is a son of a poor family.

Fang Xuanling's background is not bad, an official family, but after the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it has long since declined, if it is not for the correct side and taking refuge in Li Shimin, his life may not be easy.

And at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he also became a jinshi through the imperial examination, so he could represent some children of poor families.

The eldest grandson Wuji was born in a powerful family, so he naturally represents many powerful people in the Tang Dynasty.

Both of them wanted to know how Qin Tian would make this imperial examination more fair.

Everyone looked at Qin Tian, and the imperial study suddenly became quiet, as if they could hear each other's heartbeats, which made Qin Tian suddenly feel a little stressed, as if he had suddenly returned to the situation when he was called up by the teacher to ask questions when he was in school.

Fortunately, this time he knew the answer.

"Shengshang, if you want the imperial examination to be fair, it's very simple, in the past, the imperial examination, candidates will invest in the bank papers in advance, if they are favored by the Confucian, their test papers will naturally be able to get some preferential treatment, which is not bad, but the problem is that some people may carry out some interests because of this, which is not easy to control, so the minister feels that in order to maintain the fairness of the imperial examination, the most important thing to do is to judge by articles."

Li Shimin nodded: "That's right, all the examiners can do it, and the article is used to determine the quality of the paper." ”

"But it's not fair, so what the minister means is that after all the examination papers are handed in, they must be pasted with names, and the names are pasted with paper, and then someone will be found to transcribe all these test papers, so that no one knows whose papers they are, so they will evaluate the quality of the articles, and after selecting the articles that can be admitted to the Jinshi, they will compare these articles with those papers with vague names, and then find out the corresponding people, and hand them over to the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord himself will uncover the paper with the name, so that no one in the middle can cheat and elect. Naturally, it is talent. ”

Qin Tian muttered, and after he said this, Li Shimin's heart was suddenly overjoyed, because the method Qin Tian said could indeed achieve fairness to the greatest extent.

No one knows whose paper it is, so it's all based on talent, and only in this way can real talents be selected.

However, although Li Shimin was happy, he did not rush to speak, because he knew that this real fairness was afraid that it would shake the interests of some powerful people and families, and he had to think about it carefully before he could express his position.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji had already stood up: "Shengshang, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, some powerful people and children of the family must be taken care of, otherwise they are dissatisfied, and it will have a certain impact on the stability of my Datang, this method is good, but it must also wait for my Datang to have enough strength." ”

After hearing Qin Tian's method, the eldest grandson Wuji's heart sank, if the children of these powerful families also participated in the imperial examination like this, although there were successes, many people were afraid that they would lose their qualifications to be officials.

This would slowly weaken the strength of their magnates and families, so although he knew that this method was very good, he did not think that this method could be implemented.

It's just that the eldest grandson Wuji objected, but Fang Xuanling stood up and said: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with this method, now in the situation of Datang, what is needed is talent, only in this way can talents be selected, what's wrong?" Powerful people and families, they can take the test if they have the ability, who can they blame if they can't pass the test? ”

People from two different camps soon had differences, and party struggles like this between the poor and the powerful actually ran through the entire Tang Dynasty, and there are now and will definitely be in the future.

Qin Tian watched the two of them fight back and forth, and he didn't rush to say anything, he wanted to listen to Li Shimin's meaning first, and then speak.

Li Shimin frowned, and after a long time, he said: "Okay, I think Qin Aiqing's method is good, but in this case, it will inevitably block the road of many people, and I think the children of the powerful and the family should be treated differently." ”

Seeing this, Qin Tiancai continued: "The saint, the shadow, the recommendation as an official, can still continue to be implemented, the imperial examination is for the sake of fairness, it can only be like this, if the powerful and the children of the family do not want to participate in the imperial examination, then wait for the recommendation and the shadow." ”

Many of the sons and daughters of the powerful rely on the shadow to become officials, this road is the path that most of them will take, if it is abolished, it may really cause dissatisfaction among them, and it is not conducive to buying people's hearts, so they have to continue to use it.

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji frowned slightly, he didn't like it very much, maybe at the beginning, such a imperial examination would have little impact on the magnates, but slowly, the gap would be widened, and at that time, the magnates would inevitably be affected.

This method is a bit like boiling a frog in warm water, and the eldest grandson Wuji is a smart person, so it is impossible not to see it.

But he couldn't.
