Chapter 296: Taiji Palace's Discussion on Scientific Examination
Plans don't always keep up with change. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Originally, I thought that five days would be able to attract a large number of scholars. Who would have thought that until the day he took office, there were only three or two big cats and kittens visiting his house. Not to mention the choice, there are not even ten people, and two of them came to try to cheat money.
Fortunately, there was still one that met the requirements, Luo Yan didn't say a word, and sent this person to the Lu Mansion first.
The principle of buying horse bones has been common since ancient times. There is this person, who goes in and out of the Lu Mansion and the Chengguo Mansion every day, and there are several people who are rejected by Luo Yan, but still get money as a demonstration, and after Luo Yan arrives in office, it is only a few days, and the house has received more than 200 copies of worship posts and scrolls from scholars.
Sometimes, there are so many options to choose from, which is also a frustration.
Now Luo Yan is facing such troubles. These many scrolls and prayer posts, plus the fact that he had to go to Lu Deming's mansion every day to read the revised content of the day, but he was tired.
is the so-called poor ** plan, Luo Yan, who was a little bored that day, returned home, and after reading the new scrolls and greetings sent by the next person, he finally couldn't stand it and came up with an excellent way to select good talents.
The next day, it was still a sunny day.
It was early summer, and Chang'an was slightly drunk by gusts of warm wind. The grass everywhere has a hint of green, and you feel comfortable when you look at it. A short distance away stood a weeping willow or elm, whose curved branches were intertwined with emerald and swayed in the breeze.
But in the past, when you saw such a scene, you had to stop and look at it, and even the scholars who had a few words in poetry were a little abnormal today.
Such exquisite scenery was put behind them, and the teahouse and tavern, which they usually loved to go to, were no longer attractive to them. There are those who are familiar with each other, and they met on the street, and they no longer show off to each other the romance of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, but asked with a somewhat serious expression: "Brother Tai, have you heard the news?" ā
When he met someone who knew, he would nod his head and ask back: "Save." I wonder if the virtuous brother will go when the time comes? ā
"That's nature, how can such an opportunity be easily given up."
And when he met someone who didn't know, he asked curiously: "What did Brother Tai say, can you tell the younger brother a thing or two?" ā
"Chengguo Gong saw that there were too many people who went to pay their respects, so he decided to ask me to go to Qujiangchi to participate in the literary affairs when he took a break in a few days. At that time, there will be several doctors of Guozixue and bachelors of Hongwenguan to be present, and more than a dozen people will be selected to go to Lu Mansion to help. ā
"There are such good things, thank you brother. When the time comes, let's go together. ā
That's right, Luo Yan came up with such a solution. If there is no contrast, there is no harm, poof, if you say it wrong, you will not reflect the gap.
One by one, who can know if there are any talents behind. It's better to hold a literary event and let these people compete with each other. At that time, not only can you choose the people Lu Deming needs, but you can also take the opportunity to recruit some talents.
The credit for recommending talents is not small.
With this idea, Luo Yan asked his subordinates to release the news early in the morning, and the people who gave him the name post before also sent invitations one by one.
For a time, Chang'an entered the restlessness of midsummer ahead of schedule.
In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin, who had just descended from the court, was told about this matter. Turning his head and smiling at Luo Yan on the side, he said: "I originally thought that if you were given an idle position, you wouldn't make any more trouble, but who would have thought that even if you were tied to your side, you would be able to make Chang'an into a storm." ā
Li Shimin's words are half laughing and half ridiculing, and if he meets other people, he will probably say a word of trepidation. Obviously, Luo Yan is no one else, and his maverick is his trademark. At this time, seeing Li Shimin talking to himself, Luo Yan stepped forward and responded: "Weichen is this idle character. What's more, if such a beautiful scenery does not leave some beautiful talks, it will not fail the creator's heart. ā
"You just talk nonsense. It's not like you don't know what you want to do. Li Shimin almost said that he was making it up, teased, and then said: "However, what do you do in this article?" I heard that the scribe recruited some time ago was in Dr. Lu's mansion every day? ā
"It's just that the teacher is old and old, but he has something to consult and write about. As a disciple, Weichen couldn't serve in person, so he thought of such a way to choose a few people who were proficient in scripture and history to assist the teacher. ā
"You're a filial person. However, it is important to pay attention to the regulations. When the time comes, don't let Yushi impeach you, I can't save you. Li Shimin mentioned it slightly, but he did not interfere with the details of the Wenhui.
"Your Majesty, just rest assured. This selection of people is also a big wave, and under the layers of checkpoints, there must be very few people who can finally come to us. It's just that there will be more onlookers at that time, but it really can't be done, so Weichen will wait to ask His Majesty for some Jinwuwei envoys. ā
Li Shimin suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. "You are so courageous, you use public weapons for private purposes, and you are not afraid that I will hand you over to Dali Temple for conviction."
"Whatever Your Majesty says, there will definitely be a lot of people at that time, even if I don't say it at this time, Jin Wuwei will have to send more people to Qujiang at that time to prevent accidents. Therefore, it is better for Weichen to ask for a message and say to General Jin Wuwei, and you can also take precautions in advance at that time. ā
"Okay, okay, it's just that you're more crooked. I'm right for that. Remember, though, that everything has to be done in moderation. ā
"Your Majesty, taking advantage of this matter, Weichen wants to say a few words to Your Majesty." When Luo Yan saw that Li Shimin responded, he also relaxed a lot, and immediately put forward some thoughts in his heart.
Hearing Luo Yan's words, the ears of the housekeepers straightened. Luo Yan has been by Li Shimin's side for several months, and he has never done anything about Jinyan. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't said anything flattering, he would almost have thought that this was a courtier.
Although I don't know what Luo Yan is going to say, it is always correct to record it.
"There are many benefits to scientific research. However, although scientific research is popular nowadays, there are still many drawbacks. ā
"Oh, you can tell me more."
"First of all, the origin of this student is a question. The qualifications of the candidates for the examination were opened by the edict. But that's not enough. As far as I know, in recent years, the qualifications of various states and counties for scientific examinations for poor scholars have not been as open as imagined. ā
What Luo Yan meant Li Shimin understood that the original scientific research was to solve the monopoly of knowledge, but now there are still many restrictions, which is naturally a big problem. Turning his head to the Zhongshu people beside him, he said: "You should keep this matter in mind, and add the reasonableness of what Luo Yan said later, and draw up an edict for implementation in the three provinces." ā
"And what else?"
"The second is the innovation of the scientific examination system."
This sentence made Li Shimin very surprised: "What, do you think the current system is still insufficient?" ā
"Not only is there a not, but rather a considerable shortcoming. Earlier, I just talked about where the students came from. At this time, Wei Chen explained to His Majesty the process of participating in the scientific expedition as a student. Luo Yan bowed and said, "First of all, this examiner's question. Since the dynasty, there have been seven scientific examinations, all of which have been sent to a ministry examiner, Wailang, as the main examiner. ā
"Is there something wrong with that?"
"The examiner Wai Lang is an idle job, and the Ming Jing Department is better, after all, the answers are fixed. However, the Jinshi Branch is named after the policy theory, and the current affairs that the scholar said are not something that can be decided by a foreign man who examines the worker. Therefore, the chief examiner should be appointed as the chief official of the three provinces and six ministries, and those who are familiar with state affairs should be appointed. ā
Regarding this article, Li Shimin was a little noncommittal, anyway, the Jinshi who was selected now was not bad.
Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Luo Yan did not interrupt, but continued: "The second is this line of scrolls. ā
"Oh? What happened to the row roll? ā
"Weichen was in Beijing a few years ago, and after the scientific examination, the scroll was prevalent, and even affected the name. This matter is very unfair, so I specifically raised it and reported it to His Majesty. ā
Li Shimin didn't know about all kinds of joints before, but now that he heard Luo Yan say it, he was quite curious, but he also felt that there was a big problem inside. And the living room and the scholar beside Li Shimin were literati, but their faces were as shocked as earth at the moment.
Luo Yan is going to break the rhythm of the sky, and he directly uses these ills.
"After the restructuring of the current policy, it will be announced when the candidates enter the examination room. This matter was originally a test of wisdom and talent, and it would be unfair for a partiality to be interfered with by the scroll. Moreover, the quality of the paper depends on the examiner's likes and dislikes, isn't it biased. ā
There is a reason for that. In your opinion, how should this matter be handled? ā
"Every time there is a scientific examination, some scribes are summoned to copy the number of the examination paper. After the grade is selected, the original examination paper will be compared, and if it is correct, it can be taken. ā
As soon as Luo Yan's words came out, someone next to him exclaimed: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed." Thinking that there are thousands of scientific examiners, if it is disposed of like this, it will be very expensive. And the scholars are all waiting for the list in Beijing, so I am afraid that some people will not be able to bear it. ā
It was Li Shimin, who also nodded and said: "That's true, in this way, wouldn't it take a long time to complete it?" ā
Luo Yan just smiled at this: "Your Majesty, if you get a virtuous talent, don't say that you consume this money in a year, it will be more and worth it." The old man bought horse bones, could it be that as soon as the scientific examination came out, Yantai collapsed? What's more, as far as I know, after the scientific examination, the officials still need to be selected, and many people still have to wait for the award. During this time, it is better to let the scholars who come to the scientific examination to make a scroll to the ministers of the DPRK and China, if they are really talented and learned, they are not worried that the princes of the DPRK and China have no blue eyes. ā
After thinking about it again and again, Li Shimin finally nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then this matter is also on the agenda." Luo Yan, if there are any problems, let's talk about them together. ā
"The last thing is to ask Your Majesty, don't block the door to recommendation. Although the scientific expedition is good, there are still all kinds of drawbacks, if His Majesty relies on it very much because of this convenience, I am afraid that in the future, the rural relics will not only not decrease, but will become more and more. ā
Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and then instructed the Zhongshu people: "What Luo Yan just said, write it down and hand it over to the three provinces for handling." In addition, Luo Yan recommended talents, acupuncture and disadvantages, meritorious service to the country, rewarded 100 horses of brocade and silk, and 100 catties of gold. Another edict was issued to let the courtiers recommend talents, and not to hide their secrets. ā
Luo Yan was overjoyed when he heard Li Shimin's instructions. (To be continued.) )
