Xiao Dan hurriedly looked in front of the old Bu, and fixed his eyes on the four wooden cards and a small flag in front of him. There is a word "order" printed on it, and the cards are made with blue dimension and painted with gold lacquer with a cloak of wood.

He was a little surprised, this thing was equivalent to Shang Fang's sword, it was granted by the emperor to the local magistrate, as a sign when acting cheaply. In general, this privilege is reserved only for officials at the level of governors and governors. Because the ancient legal system was chaotic. Many times it depends on the rule of man. In addition, the information is not available, and when it comes to urgent matters, it is necessary to make decisions on the fly of the governors. Therefore, there is a need for an authority that is above the law.

Of course, when the emperor temporarily sent a messenger, he also needed to grant the royal flag. Like Sun Dan's current situation, it is also somewhat similar to Qin Cha. He was just a small showman, and without such a thing, he would not have the right to read the royal archives at all.

Being able to be granted such great power by the emperor, Sun Dan was surprised and felt the pressure on his body at the same time. This shows the extent to which the finances of the imperial court have deteriorated, and the emperor's determination to reverse the eroded financial situation since Zhengde. After thanking him, he took the flag and put it in a lacquered wooden box, and the emperor asked him when he would be able to come up with a definite charter and what preparations he still needed.

Sun Dan sorted out his thoughts and had a plan in his heart. If it is a charter, this will not be difficult for him, and when the time comes, it will be a big deal to copy a few articles from Zhang Juzheng's reform. However, Zhang Juzheng's reform was more than 40 years later. The times are different, and the social forms are different. If you do it, it may not be suitable for today's era. For the sake of insurance, it is better to do some social research first.

Moreover, the emperor is not authoritative now, and the hasty reform may not have a good result.

Crossing the river by feeling the stones is the best option. It's really not good, you can do a pilot in a county town in Shuntianfu to see the effect, if it is feasible, it is not too late to promote it later.

Sun Dan briefly told the emperor about his idea, Jiajing nodded, and praised: "Although Sun Qing is young, he is one. Mature people. Let's try it in a remote county in Shuntianfu first. While trying, while considering, after a few years, I can probably find a set of practical and actionable methods

Saying this, his eyes suddenly lit up. looked at Sun Dan, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

was stared at by the emperor with such strange eyes; Sun Dan felt a little uneasy in his heart. But on the surface, he still looked light: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

The smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth bloomed: "Or, Sun Qing, you choose a county to try, and you will be the county commander?"

Sun Dan was taken aback. In my heart, I want to be able to stand alone in the local area. If you can take this opportunity to hone in on the ground for a few years. With grassroots work experience, returning to the central government in the future can be regarded as a political qualification. However, he is only a little show now, and if he really wants to be a seven-rank life official, the spittle of the heavenly people will also spray him to death.

Sun Dan hurriedly said: "No, Sun Dan is now a little talent, and now he is suddenly the county commander of a county." It is not compatible with the imperial court system. ”

"What if there is a decree?"

Sun Dan remained silent: "It will be rejected by the cabinet, Hugh said the cabinet." I'm afraid that the officials won't be able to pass that pass

The emperor was a little disappointed: "Those civil officials are really a little difficult, is there any other way?" ”

Sun Dan also felt helpless, and only said: "The minister is about to take the Enke exam, and only when he is admitted to the Jinshi next year can he share his worries for the monarch's father." ”

This is a good way, and the emperor became excited, and walked around the house with his hands behind his back. muttered: "There are still a few days left for the Shuntianfu Township Test, and when Sun Qing wins the promotion, he will be qualified to be a county order." When the time comes, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks?

After passing the township examination, it is called lifting people. The person who raised the person is actually an alternate official, and he is qualified to be an official. According to the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty, a person can register with the Ministry of Officials, obtain a certain official position, and become a county official. Of course, this position is very small, about 40 to 130 people per year. There are very few places to lift people. Then there are even fewer alternate officials among the people, so there are often alternate officers.

As the emperor said, when the time comes, as long as he makes a holy decree, it will be difficult for the people in the ministry to say anything.

Sun Dan's mind was a little cloudy and he didn't know how to deal with it.

The emperor rubbed his hands vigorously and said with a smile: "Anyway, there will be three or four months from the end of the autumn festival to the spring curtain. Sun Qing is an official while implementing new policies in the counties under your jurisdiction and preparing for exams. When the time comes, I'll go to the Jinshi exam, hehe. Lian suddenly remembered something. ”

Sun Dan couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty suddenly remembered something?" ”

Emperor: "If Sun Qing you won the Huiyuan during the examination, and then won the Jinshi or even entered the top three during the palace examination, Lianruo would have to let you enter the Forest Academy, and when the time comes, your county order will not be able to do it, Jiajing will be a little worried."

Sun Dan laughed in his heart and said, "Your Majesty." No one can say anything about the things in the field, and those who are as talented as Tang Yin have tried and failed repeatedly after understanding the Yuan, and no one dares to say that they will win. Maybe Sun, Dan can't even lift people, and he will live up to the holy hope. ”

"You can't be a pingpong. The emperor looked at Sun Dan in surprise: "With your talent, you can't win the lift."

Sun Dan nodded: "There are no certain rules for things in the field, and there is no unified standard for judging the quality of articles. Even if you write an essay that is not to the examiner's taste. It may not be possible. Moreover, when the time comes, it is possible that the test questions are not the ones that the candidates are good at, and if they do not play well on the spot, it is also possible to fail the test. ”

This is a question, Jiajing is a little distressed: "It's hard to say the examiner's taste, but." The main examiners of Shuntianfu Qiuyu are Qiao Yu and Sun Henian, what kind of articles do the two of them like, you can come down and study it. ”

Sun Dan's face changed, and he said softly: "Your Majesty is cautious about saying that the examiner's name is a state secret. Generally speaking, it will not be leaked in advance. It is decided by the emperor three days before the exam. Once the list is confirmed. All examiners are required to enter the Tribute Academy, and they are not allowed to see anyone, and they are not allowed to come out until the end of the examination.

However, this year's Shuntianfu Autumn Festival is a bit evil. The emperor has not yet announced the name of the examiner, and the people in the entire capital know the names of the chief examiner and the deputy examiner. Even businessmen like Shi Wanquan rushed to Sun Dan to ask for credit, and it seemed that the emperor's secrecy work was not done well. However, the list of examiners was pulled out by the civil officials, and it is estimated that they also leaked it.

But on the surface, Sun Dan still made a straight gesture. The emperor didn't think so, opened the drawer again, took out a scroll that had been sealed, and put it on the case: "The exam question is not the type that the candidate is good at, and it is also a problem" Sun Qing can take a look at this thing

Sun Dan did not doubt that he had him, took the scroll and opened it, and asked casually: "Your Majesty, what is this?" ”

Jiajing smiled and whispered: "You are the second only talented person in my dynasty to Yang Shen, and you are the brains of Lian, and several exam questions have been formulated by Lian with some thought, you can help you get an idea to see if the questions are right." ”

"It turned out to be an exam paper!" Sun Dan's hand trembled, and the scroll in his hand almost fell to the ground.

He didn't hesitate, he picked up the exam paper and put it on the candle and lit it.

Jiajing was furious and couldn't help but shout: "You."

Sun Dan said softly: "Your Majesty, I haven't read this volume. A gentleman behaves and does things, and he would rather take from the straight than from the song. The imperial examination can come to the imperial court's round talent ceremony. The foundation of the country. Sun Dan read the sages, but he refused to take this shortcut. If this matter spreads, it doesn't matter if the ministers are ruined, and how Your Majesty will establish authority in the court in the future. If you fail to live up to Your Majesty's wishes, you will die! ”

The rolls burned out quickly, and a few pieces of ash were blown by the wind, and the house was filled.

At the beginning, Jiajing.com was still blue-faced. Looking at Sun Dan's eyes, they were also full of fine light. He already valued Sun Dan, and naturally hoped that this intimate Conglong hero could be promoted smoothly, and it would also be convenient for him to implement future fiscal and tax reforms, and he was eager in his heart. I don't care about the dignity of the king.

Seeing Sun Dan so unreasonable, he was very angry in his heart, and he almost roared angrily.

But as soon as he saw Sun Dan's calm eyes, Jiajing felt a little ashamed in his heart, and gradually, the essence in his eyes also converged, turning into a trace of admiration.

"Sure enough, it's a peerless countryman, and it's really a person who is optimistic about Lian. Hugh said that your belly is splendid, and you are astonished. But this character and morality are also a person who is worth relying on for big things! Jiajing shouted hello, "Sun Qing, Lian is also too careful, I want you to have full confidence in this person, and it is ridiculous to act." This is the fault of the union."

Sun said quietly: "The minister is not an envoy. I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything. It is a capital crime to live up to His Majesty's kindness. However, ministers only do things according to their nature, and only by doing things according to their hearts, they naturally know what they can and can't do. ”

"Okay, good, Sun Jingyuan is really a trustworthy person." Jiajing laughed excitedly: "Actually, Lian is also too worried, with your talent and learning, if you can't even lift someone." Lian would like to ask the two examiners if they are blind. By what standard did they appoint a judge? ”

Sun Dan was praised by the emperor, and he was secretly happy in his heart: in fact, if he was replaced by the previous Sun Dan, when he encountered this kind of civil service examination, someone missed the question, which was naturally a great joy. However, the information in our minds clearly records the examination questions of the provincial and township examinations in the sixteenth year of Zhengde: "Even the questions of the next year's general examination and palace examination are available, do you need your emperor to miss the questions?" If it is spread out, won't it become a stain that cannot be washed off in Sun someone's body.

Besides, even if history has changed significantly. The exam questions have changed, and with the huge question bank in my head, what standard answer can't be found?

This is something that cannot be done in a decisive way.

Of course, the posture still has to be done. No matter how you say it, you have to package yourself as a decent gentleman.

Now, it's working.

My Sun Dan's status in the emperor's mind is also very different from before.

Than: It's a pity that it fell to the eleventh place in the list of classified monthly passes!

Please help me again, if you have a monthly pass, please vote for me.

Thank you!
