Chapter 686: The Chief Examiner of the Examination

As soon as these words came out, not only Feng Qi was startled, but even Wang Xijue was slightly surprised.

You know, the reason why he announced the edict for the emperor at the court meeting, is just to cooperate with the emperor to express an attitude to the court, but the content of the edict is not very understanding, in his opinion, the setting of this Sinong Temple, and the Qin Tianjian, the household department and other departments of the power and responsibility have overlapped, if it is not for the emperor's insistence, he is actually not in favor of the re-establishment of Sinong Temple.

Because the subdivision of power and responsibility is an important part of Wang Xijue's rectification of the government, and it can even be said to be the core part, he expressed his dissatisfaction to the emperor when he first drafted the decree.

But unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven was stubborn and scary in this matter, and even said to Wang Xijue that if he was really worried about the overlap of powers and responsibilities, he could separate the rights and responsibilities of the other yamen involved in Sinong Temple, and Si Nong Temple would be responsible, instead of being under dual control.

In this way, Wang Xijue has nothing to say, most of the power of Sinong Temple involves food and agriculture, if it is really independent, the household department will not make a fuss.

In desperation, he had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it, after all, the Son of Heaven had a word first, this Sinong Temple specializes in the experimental cultivation of grains, although it is called Sinong, but in actual operation, it will not interfere too much with the operation of other yamen.

And without the support of the emperor, it would be impossible for a newly established Sinong Temple to compete for food with an old yamen like the Ministry of Households, but with this turmoil, Wang Xijue also secretly cared about this Sinong Temple.

Whether it is a yamen that no longer has real power, it should not be underestimated if it has such blue eyes from the Son of Heaven.

But just now, Wang Xijue found that he still underestimated the status of Sinong Temple in the heart of the Son of Heaven, you know, even such a major event as the tax reform has not been included in the first edict of the new emperor by the Son of Heaven, which shows how important this matter is among the Son of Heaven.

And more importantly, this is the first time since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne that he has gone out of the palace to parade, and how can he not be surprised not to come to such a small yamen?

You know, this is not a private visit, the Son of Heaven said in front of the Ministry of Rites that he wanted to take a look, it must be to let the Ministry of Rites prepare for the Son of Heaven to drive and lead the ministers to follow, this kind of battle is only available when the Son of Heaven goes out to worship.

A small Sinong Temple, how can He De be the Son of Heaven so seriously!

"The minister's decree, but Your Majesty, according to the system, the Son of Heaven must leave the palace at least half a month in advance to edict the ministers, if it is seven days later, I am afraid it will ......"

After being stunned for a moment, Feng Qi was the first to react and arched his hand in response.

The Son of Heaven attaches great importance to farming, which is a great thing in all dynasties, no one can say that the Son of Heaven is making a big fuss, but the etiquette of the Son of Heaven out of the palace is cumbersome, and there are many things to prepare, and half a month's work may not be able to be prepared, but the Son of Heaven is now Jinkou Yuyan, seven days later, Sinong Temple will be opened, but it really makes Feng Qi embarrassed for a while.

"It doesn't have to be so complicated, I just go out at random to take a look, everything is simple in terms of etiquette, the Ministry of Etiquette doesn't have to worry about security, there are Jinyi Guards and the three major battalions to be responsible, and when the time comes, call the ministers in Beijing who are willing to go with them, if the yamen has affairs that can't be separated, it doesn't matter if you can't go!"

The Son of Heaven said with a smile, which made Feng Qi slander for a while, the Son of Heaven went out on patrol, who would dare to say that the minister of the Manchu Dynasty had no time......

But when it came to this, Feng Qi had no choice but to bow his head.

Zhu Changluo nodded with satisfaction and continued.

"So very good, there is also the matter of Enke, now it is spring, and it is too late to prepare for the autumn festival, the Ministry of Rites will work hard these days, and start preparing for Enke! In addition, the Enke examination and the Guozijian examination are held together, and anyone in the world who has a talent and fame can go to Beijing to participate in the Guozijian examination! ”

Hearing this, Feng Laoshangshu's face instantly became bitter, the Son of Heaven is going to exhaust his old bones!

If it is said that the Son of Heaven is still a common thing, then the degree of cumbersomeness of the affairs of the opening of Enke is enough to throw off the eighteen streets of the former, and the Imperial Examination of the National Dynasty is all the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, but the most cumbersome and complicated is the examination.

The practice of the dynasty is that the examination will be held once every three years, and each time the examination is held, the Ministry of Rites will spend a full year to prepare, and the Son of Heaven will add Enke to the throne, which Feng Qi has long expected, but he did not expect that the Son of Heaven would be in such a hurry, and now there are only five or six months left until the autumn, and if he wants to prepare for an examination, I am afraid that he will not have a little leisure in this half a year.

What made Feng Shangshu want to cry without tears was that the tone of the Son of Heaven was to give orders rather than to discuss, that is to say, he had already made up his mind about this matter, and he was issuing an edict for Feng Shangshu to do it, not to discuss it with him......

With the lesson of the last time, Feng Laoshangshu finally understood that he would definitely not be able to say it today, so Feng Qi directly turned his gaze for help to Lord Yuanfu who was contemplative on the side.

I have to say that Lord Yuanfu, as the minister of the first assistant, has a responsibility at the critical moment, and on the top, Feng Shangshu just handed over his gaze for help, and the old first assistant stepped forward and gave his hand as a courtesy.

"The old minister dares to ask Your Majesty, if Enke is held this year, how will the chief examiner be selected?"

This brings us to the discussion of the examiner?!

Feng Qi, who was looking forward to the old Shoufu interceding with the emperor, was suddenly shocked, and his eyes became a little resentful.

It's just that Wang Xijue didn't have the heart to deal with Feng Qi at the moment, because the Son of Heaven suddenly changed Enke's time, which made him vaguely aware of something, if his guess was true......

"The chief examiner of the examination should be selected from Qingliuhua, and the same examiner is the same, if the children are in the Jinshi, they should enter the Hanlin Guanzheng, so I mean, the chief examiner of this examination is better to be selected from the Hanlin Academy, as for the same examiner, there is no need to be harsh, Qingliu can be the way, this matter is discussed by the cabinet, and the express performance is carried out, so that the Ministry of Rites can start to prepare!"

Zhu Changluo was slightly stunned, but he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

Sure enough, it is old and not dead for ...... What, just then did he reveal his words, Wang Xijue realized his intentions, this political sensitivity, and he really deserved to be the head of the hundred officials.

But it doesn't matter if he notices it, he didn't think that he could hide his intentions, so he took this opportunity to try how deep the water in this court is!

The coldness on Zhu Changluo's face flashed, but he was not seen by Wang Xijue.

At this moment, the old Shoufu's heart was shocked, because the meaning of the emperor's two sentences was already obvious, and the chief examiner he liked in his heart must be Fang Congzhe, who had just been transferred to the Ministry of Rites and was in charge of the Hanlin Academy.

The main examination, generally speaking, is a precursor to the promotion of cabinet ministers, but the cabinet is now full, if you want to enter again, someone will inevitably withdraw, and the five cabinet ministers, who is on the cusp, everyone now knows well......
