Li Gu's words made Lao Wei vomit blood, I want to depose eighty percent at most, why don't you even keep one? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to explain?

Li Gu strained his face, he picked up an article casually and sent it to Wei Renpu.

"Wei Xianggong, look at it, how many rare words are there in this article?"

Wei Renpu took it and looked at it carefully...... On the other side, Li Xi and Ye Hua are also talking about these articles, and this exam is a strategy and a poem...... Li Xiandao: "The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty included sticking scriptures, Moyi, policy theories, and essays, among which policy and essays were the mainstay, and among the essays, poetry was the most important...... It's not that easy to write a poem that impresses the examiner. ”

Li Xian smiled and said, "Senior brother, how do you think you should compose poetry?" ”

Ye Hua shrugged his shoulders, "I can't write poetry, how do you know!" However, in my opinion, the so-called language is not amazing, and the poems in this field must also be amazing! ”

"Takami!" Li Xian said with a smile: "At present, the science field is raising children to compose poems, and most of them take Jia Dao and others as grandmasters, and there are five major characteristics...... Deliberately bitter groaning, searching for objects, exquisite craftsmanship, long in the five laws, elegant and tasteful. ”

Ye Hua smiled, "In the final analysis, you just don't talk about people!" ”

Li Shi stretched out his thumb, although he said it politely, but that's the way it is!

In order to arouse the interest of the examiner, they often put a lot of effort into the use of words and sentences, so that they are guilty of the problem of the bitter bard, perhaps one or two good sentences, but the integrity of the overall poem is not good, the artistic attainment is not high, and even the vision is narrow and the vision is biased...... All in all, there is no value other than being able to use it for exams.

Li Xi said again: "It's just a poem, but the real terrible thing is that even the article is like this, which makes people very helpless!" ”

Ye Hua took a few articles, skimmed them quickly, and only halfway through them, he encountered several strange words.

barely read the whole article, Ye Hua only had four words to comment, "sinister and strange".

A good article should be thorough, read coherently and smoothly, like drinking elixir, hearty...... It's not a torturous reading of a few words!

It's just that these scientific field articles like to show off their literary brilliance and play with their knowledge.

If you can explain it clearly in one sentence, you have to make it into a large gorgeous prose, and there are a few obscure words in the middle...... It's easy to figure it out, but it turns out that what I'm saying is just bullshit, a cliché that everyone knows well, and there is no real insight at all.

Reading this kind of article, Ye Hua had a feeling, as if he had been constipated for ten days, and it was easy to feel that he squatted for a quarter of an hour, but only squeezed out a fart!

"Grandma's, it's so hard for them, how did you write it!"

Ye Hua was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

Li Xian sighed: "Since the late Tang Dynasty, the style of poetry and literature have deviated, and scholars have used their talents on these useless things, where can they get the energy to study the people's livelihood and diseases, and how to support the monarch?" The family's control of the imperial examination can be described as infinitely harmful! ”

Ye Hua endured the stomach ache again, and reluctantly read some of them, he had confirmed that these poems were the originators of the Xikun style, and the articles were the ancestors of the Taixue style, all of which were difficult to understand and gorgeous...... In the original history, it was not until Ouyang Xiu presided over the imperial examination that the style of retreat and luxury since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties was washed away in one fell swoop, and the trend of the literary world was completely reversed.

It's a pity that Ouyang Xiu started late, he only changed the style of writing, but did not change the morale, let alone affect the atmosphere of officialdom...... This time, start early, hit hard, and make a complete change!

Ye Hua took a cursory look at the exam results of the hundred officials and had already made up his mind.

At the same time, all the ministers headed by Wang Pu have finished reading the papers one after another, and they all have a fixed opinion in their hearts.

Wang Pu said with a calm face: "Princes, follow me to face the king!" ”

Everyone looked solemn and nodded in agreement.

After saluting the emperor, Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "The ministers are incompetent and have the grace of heaven...... The people who take it are all in vain, and they are insignificant! The minister dared to propose, please remove all the officials! ”

Chai Rong was stunned for a moment, he didn't rush to agree, but looked at the others.

"What about you? Do you have any other opinions? ”

Li Gu hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court elects officials, which are used by herdsmen to govern the country, not to show off their literary talents. But since the late Tang Dynasty, scholars have been more flashy and easy to show! Indulge in the trail, but don't know the people's suffering, the old minister really doesn't know, what is the use of keeping these officials! I beg your Majesty to depose them all! ”

Remember that a few days ago, Li Gu was still trying his best to protect those officials, why did he become the vanguard of deposing them in a few days?

The reason for this can be hidden from others, but it can't be hidden from Wei Renpu.

Lao Wei thought about it for a while, and it was clear.

Wei Xianmei was the first among the trainers, and he was recalled to the capital to participate in the scientific expedition. And Li Gu's baby son Li Ji also went, he didn't have Wei Xianmei's ability, he was only ranked around twenty, which was average.

As a benchmark, Wei Xianmei's future is certain, no matter what, the meeting test and the palace test will be successfully passed.

As for Li Ji, it is difficult to say whether he is on or not.

Li Gu also had to tear off his old face for the sake of his son, and only by taking down all the previous Jinshi could he leave enough space for Li Ji.

It can be said that for the sake of the next generation, Lee Sang-gong is completely shameless.

Among these people, Xue Juzheng's situation was even worse, his son was only ranked thirty-five! Among all the instructors who have obtained the qualification for the imperial examination, the last one, the tail of the crane!

Therefore, Xue Xianggong can't protect it even if he wants to, and his kindness is very likely to make his son's name fall to Sun Shan, which will be a big loss.

"Your Majesty, improper morale and private teaching and receiving have long been one of the drawbacks of the imperial examination. It's like the source is not clear, and the fish are confused. If we want to change, we must completely cleanse the dust and sweep away the filth...... Lao Chen is not talented, he once served as the deputy chief examiner of a subject, and now that he thinks about it, there are indeed many mistakes...... The old minister begs His Majesty to surrender! ”

Saying that, Xue Juzheng took the initiative to kneel down and ask for guilt!

Ye Hua and Li Xi looked at each other, and with just one glance, everything was clear.

The two of them don't need to talk nonsense, when it comes to being ruthless and vicious, these bearded prime ministers and important ministers, when they are ruthless, they don't recognize their six relatives, and they are ruthless!

Of course, this also has something to do with the timely start.

If it is delayed for another ten or twenty years, those families will recover, they will collude with the court officials even deeper, and even hold the handle of important ministers, not to mention the future of their sons, even if the ancestors crawl out of the grave, they will not be able to make a few ministers change their minds and betray the scholar group!

Ye Hua's eyes rolled, and he suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are shallow in their studies, and after reading some articles, I only feel that I am in the clouds, I don't know what to do, I really can't figure it out, what are the officials of my dynasty writing such articles for!"

Chai Rong said politely: "Not only can't you understand, but I can't understand it either!" Things that can be clearly explained in just a few words, if you have to quote scriptures and classics, make long speeches, it's all nonsense! ”

"Your Majesty!"

Ye Hua followed Chai Rong's words, "The minister suggested that His Majesty should issue an edict to Xiaoyu the world, and ask for the reform of the style of writing, and all articles on the imperial examination must be accessible and reflect reality." The minister thought that in the future, the scientific field lifters, especially the examination and the palace examination, should have political experience and take out real things...... The minister thinks that the knowledge that comes out with his feet is more profound than that that that of the pile of old papers! ”

Ye Hua's words can be regarded as touching the hearts of several prime ministers.

They listen to it and it's a good ear!

It's no wonder that Ye Hua became famous at a young age, what he said was a fairy fart - extraordinary!

Wei Renpu immediately echoed: "The minister thinks that the proposal of the champion Hou is very clever, and it should be promulgated to the world immediately!" ”

Li Gu and Xue Juzheng looked at each other, and also bowed down together and said, "That's what the ministers mean!" ”

It's rare that the court can be so harmonious, Chai Rong smiled, "Since all the secretaries mean this, of course I am as good as a stream, so let's do what you want!" ”

"Your Majesty, please wait!"

Hanlin Scholar Li Xi suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, the champion Hou and several ministers are all honest and sincere to seek the country, and the ministers agree with it." It's just that the minister thinks that Tianxin is merciful, His Majesty has just swept the east of the river, and the whole world is celebrating, so he should open the net and leave a chance to reform himself! ”

"The minister thought that among the more than 100 officials who participated in the examination this time, a few of them were quite good at what they said, and a few of them had good political performance...... Can Your Majesty allow them to be demoted and retained, or re-participate in next year's palace examination, as a sign of our emperor's sanctity? ”

Chai Rong inhaled hard, he was not a person who liked to open the back door and cheat for personal gain, so he groaned slightly.

At this time, Ye Hua stood up, "Your Majesty, Bachelor Li's words are not unreasonable, Your Majesty can choose three or five people, or seven or eight people, and it will not affect the overall situation." ”

Chai Rong finally nodded, "In that case, it depends on your wishes!" ”

……

The palace test was finally over, and Ye Hua didn't care about the cannibalistic gazes of the prime ministers, and left directly.

"Senior brother, your trick is powerful enough, you only save a few people, but let those people carry the black cauldron, they are guaranteed to be angry!"

Li Xian smiled, "Senior brother, are you willing to speak?" ”

Ye Hua was puzzled, "What does Senior Brother mean?" ”

Li Xi raised his palm, and there was a note in his palm, in which was written a sentence: Heavenly reason has no foreign favors!

"This is what the little eunuch stuffed me."

Ye Hua was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that this is the meaning of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Li Shi spread his hands, "It should be, otherwise who would have such courage!" Li Xian smiled lightly, "Our Majesty is also black enough, in this way, it is equivalent to making the five surnames and seven sects, and the big families all resent several prime ministers, and were regarded as enemies by their own people, which is not pleasant!" ”

As if to verify Li Shi's words...... The next day, the rumors in the capital spread, and some people listed Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Xue Juzheng, and Li Gu as the four traitors, and threatened to behead the four people, and use the heads of the four people to correct the dynasty!
