Chapter 497 Minister

Inferior roots, Han Rui sighed in his heart, but he still thought about it obediently, Lingyan Pavilion or something, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs can enter, so naturally there is no need to think about it, the school or something, it is even more unnecessary, it is enough to have a national eunuch, as for meritorious service awards, honorary titles and the like, the imperial court has its own lords and scattered officials.

Thinking about it carefully, throughout the ages, the dream of the literati is nothing more than to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, assist the emperor, and leave a green history, which can be realized even without additional help.

However, it gave Han Rui a headache, he didn't know where to make an article, and the various evaluations of competence in later generations were not suitable for ancient civil officials at all, after all, after thousands of years of development, whether it was awarding, knighthood, or promotion, the imperial court had a set of strict rules, which was impossible and unnecessary to change.

The various etiquette systems of this era may not be the best, but they are the most suitable, Han Rui's three proposals, military academy, martial arts, and heroic martyr's hall, to put it bluntly, are actually just a supplement, military systems such as government soldiers and sixteen guards have not been touched at all, so Li Jing is willing to help with the speech, and Li Shimin also considers the possibility of implementation.

After all, the premise of change is the original system, which shackles the development of society, and now there is no such premise, who wants to toss it?

In fact, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji also knew that it was indeed a bit embarrassing to ask such a question, and they didn't have much hope in their hearts.

Quietly glanced at the two of them, and said a few words, Han Rui continued to ponder, since it is a supplement, it means that it is not perfect, so in the imperial court, which etiquette system is defective? Honors and knights, naturally impossible, from the Chunqiu Warring States period to the present, there is nothing to add.

The central government's three provinces and six ministries can also be ruled out, although it has only a history of several decades, but it has a lifespan of more than a thousand years, until the feudal dynasty system withdrew from the historical stage, it was terminated, and the time was far longer than the three princes and nine secretaries system of the Qin and Han dynasties, which could stand the test, and Han Rui was not prepared to waste his efforts on it.

As for the local state and county system, it is actually derived from the group county system of the Qin Dynasty, and it is still the same structure, and it has little to do with what Li Shimin asked, so you don't have to pay attention to it at all, so you can only think about it...... Han Rui gradually had an answer in his heart, and after careful consideration, it slowly became clear.

Li Shimin and Eldest Sun Wuji, who seemed to be drinking at ease, were actually paying attention to Han Rui's reaction, and found that his eyebrows were stretched, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and Lu was a little surprised.

"Dr. Han, have you figured it out?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked tentatively.

"I have a vague idea." Han Rui hesitated and said, "It's just not clear, whether it's feasible." ”

Really have an idea, the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes couldn't hide his curiosity, and hurriedly asked, "Let's hear it." ”

"Xia Guan thinks that he should put some effort into the imperial examination." Han Rui said.

"The imperial examination ......" Li Shimin was Shen Yin, and frowned lightly: "Every year, scholars and scholars gather from all over the world, and the imperial court recruits talents, what's wrong?" ”

"It's not wrong." Han Rui Xiǎo said in his heart: "I just feel that there are some shortcomings." ”

"What's the shortcoming?" Li Shimin said with interest.

There are too many deficiencies, and for a while, Han Rui felt a little more at a loss in his heart, but he quickly calmed down and talked eloquently, which must be based on the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the imperial examination system was the most perfect, and elaborated on the literati scholars, who experienced the arduous process of children, talents, people, tributes, and jinshi.

"Only after winning the promotion can you enter Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, it is for the examination, the first is called Huiyuan, and the rest are called tributes, and then His Majesty personally presides over the palace examination......" Han Rui said slowly.

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and questioned: "After the test, why do you have to do more?" ”

"Well, after the palace examination, the new branch jinshi can be regarded as the son of heaven, and it is very glorious." Han Rui said that this can also be regarded as a means to elevate the status of scholars and scholars, and of course, it can also prevent people from cheating.

The eldest grandson Wuji understood it a little, nodded slightly, understood, and continued to ask: "With so many exams, is it too frequent, which is not conducive to the magistrate's handling of political affairs." ”

"Three-year big competition...... The test will be released in August, and it will be the same as it is now in February and March next year. Han Rui said.

Eldest Sun Wuji thought about it, shook his head and said, "Three years, it seems to be a bit long." ”

"Scarcity is precious, and admission every year does not show the glory of the champion of the jinshi." Han Rui said that back then, when he learned about the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, his first reaction was that it was cheap, it was too cheap, like Chinese cabbage, and the treatment was not as good as that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, not to mention the Jinshi of the Song Dynasty.

Li Shimin, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "It is not easy to set up layers of checkpoints, but it will increase the difficulty, and the scholars and Confucian scholars will inevitably fight against each other, how can they agree to implement it." ”

In a word, to the point, Han Rui admired in his heart, in the Tang Dynasty, the main source of officials was not in the imperial examination, but in the recommendation and grace, and the powerful officials and the children of the family accounted for the vast majority.

The two Jin and Northern Dynasties, the Central Plains moved dàng uneasy, the scholar mén lord and the emperor ruled the world together, to the Sui Dynasty, unified the world, as the lord of the world, definitely did not want these people to share their power, so there was the birth of the imperial examination, the heart of the Han mén scholars, and barely broke the monopoly of the famous mén family.

However, the power of the Shi clan is still very large, the Li Tang Dynasty, itself is one of the mén valves, naturally knows the ability of the family, Li Shimin is the Ming monarch, how can he not be vigilant, so over the years, he will continue to promote Han scholars such as Sun Fujia, Ma Zhou, etc.

Now, Han Rui's proposal is not like improving the imperial examination, but restricting development, considering his in-law relationship with the Zheng family, Li Shimin has to wonder if Han Rui has ulterior motives.

Feeling a heavy pressure coming to his face, Han Rui was a little inexplicable, blinked his eyes, didn't find anything abnormal, thought it was an illusion, and when he heard the emperor's inquiry, he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said: "The key lies in Your Majesty." ”

"What do you mean?" The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly asked, following Li Shimin for many years, how could he not know that the emperor's suspicion was committed, but it was not good to remind Han Rui directly, he could only hope that Han Rui was sincere in his heart, and everything he said was out of public heart.

Han Rui hesitated, leaned over and said, "Xiǎo Chen's words, I am afraid that I will be offended, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

"If there is anything to be said, you will be not guilty." Li Shimin said, pay attention, there is a premise here.

I don't know if I heard it, Han Rui straightened up and said slowly: "Rong Chen is presumptuous, in the minister's opinion, the current imperial examination in the imperial court is very shallow and ugly, there is not much attraction, and the very talented scholars would rather stoop to the family of the powerful and become a guest, but they are not willing to participate in the imperial examination." ”

Li Shimin frowned, looking displeased, but he knew that Han Rui was not lying, because Ma Zhou was like this, he was poor and had no money to drink, but he never thought of participating in the imperial examination, but instead became a staff member under Chang He Mén, and finally got Li Shimin's appreciation, and since then he has been on the rise.

I have to say that although there are some coincidences, if Chang He did not contribute to it and recommended Ma Zhou to Li Shimin, how could Ma Zhou be so easy to listen directly to the top and soar, relatively speaking, the start of the imperial examination is a bit low.

In particular, some literati are arrogant and disdainful of being xiǎo officials, feeling that with their own ability, even if they can't think about it, but it is more than enough to be a scholar.

Therefore, I naturally feel that the return value is not high, it is better to devote myself to the family, get recommended, ask for money, and someone to support and take care of it, you can definitely sing all the way, rise to the top, and get ahead, why bother to take any Jinshi.

"So, what do you think should be?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked at the right time.

He glanced at Li Shimin, and Han Rui said softly: "After passing the exams, those who stand out must be the elites, only a dozen jinshi, the amount is a little less, if it can be more, it will be better." ”

"That's it?" The eldest grandson Wuji frowned.

"And ......" Han Rui said slowly: "Since he is a talent, he naturally has to be treated differently from ordinary scholars." ”

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji immediately understood that the next words were the point, and they did not urge, but listened attentively.

"The Jinshi who have passed the selection will be selected on the basis of merit, or they will be released as officials, or they will be ......" Han Rui paused and said softly: "Directly recorded as a Jishi." ”

"What is a gloss?" Li Shimin mihuo was puzzled, glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and remembered that in the imperial court, there didn't seem to be this official name.

"Originated from the scriptures, the political chapter, the meaning of the Jishi." Han Rui explained, quite embarrassed, xiǎo said: "It's the name taken by xiǎo minister Hu Luàn." ”

Li Shimin was stunned, he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, if he knew what official position he had, he would manage whatever affairs and add a new official position, which would mean that he would split power from a certain yamén, which was a common trick used by emperors.

However, the matter was important, Li Shimin was too lazy to care, and continued to ask: "What is the purpose of this position of Jishi?" ”

"The Gilis is placed under the Hongwen Pavilion." Han Rui said: "Ask for advice from all the bachelors...... Learning, or to the six parts...... After three years, the assessment will continue, and those with excellent grades will stay, and the others will be sent to the Sixth Department, the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the Hundred Divisions of the Qingjian as officials, and those who stay will continue to study in the Hongwen Museum......"

What kind of characters are Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji, their sensitivity to politics is definitely not comparable to ordinary people, Han Rui just made a start, and they were able to speculate on the meaning of the back, and for a while, there was a storm in their hearts, what kind of Shu Jishi is this, it is clearly ...... Phase storage.
