The atmosphere in the palace of the city emperor was gloomy and depressing, and the bright sunlight outside the hall still could not cover the gloom on his face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo。 qΒ5、\\

Zhao Zhen, an official with a black face, sat on the dragon chair with a frowning and angry face, and below him, hundreds of officials in the imperial court were happy and worried, and they were standing below with complicated feelings.

Zhao Lei stood in front of the hundred officials with an indifferent face without joy or sorrow, on his left was Fan Zhongyan, the governor of the political affairs with a happy face, and in front of him was the prime minister Lu Yijian, who was also indifferent and expressionless.

The results of the examination for officials in the shade are out, and there are only 50 of the 260 officials who have passed the examination, and more than 100 of them are simply rubbish.

The results of the Mengyin exam are so "outstanding", making the court a laughing stock of the people of Bianjing, since the news leaked, the face of the official Zhao Zhen has been pulled down, and today, everyone knows that the results of the Mengyin exam have been transmitted to the people, and it has become a joke among the people after dinner, combined with the face of the official Zhao Zhen, the officials know that today's routine is not good.

"You say, what should we do with the two hundred and ten officials who didn't pass the exam?" The official Zhao Zhen asked His Royal Highness in a cold tone.

The official Zhao Zhen did not ask for an answer by name, and the officials below all carefully lowered their heads, and no one was willing to be a bird.

Fan Zhongyan also began to be a little upset at this time, although he dug out a batch of moths, but the number of these moths was a bit large, and the quality was a little high, even Lu Yijian's son Lu Gongbi did not pass the exam, and there were as many as 1,000 Mengyin officials who needed to take the exam in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and if they could only pass one-fifth, there would be 800 people to deal with, and these people. all have a deep background, otherwise how could they be given by the official family and be shaded! With so many officials with deep backgrounds to deal with, how to deal with them has become the main reason why Fan Zhongyan is upset.

Fan Zhongyan was upset, and the official Zhao Zhen was even more upset, he didn't expect those officials to be so incompetent, the exam questions for the official Zhao Zhen personally came out of the official Zhao Zhen this time, and the exam questions were very simple, but those incompetent guys couldn't pass, resulting in eighty percent of the officials needing to deal with so many shaded officials. The impact is too great, and if it is handled, it will also become the reason for the embarrassment of the official Zhao Zhen.

"Nobody wants to say yes, right? Lu Xiang, what do you think about yourself as a deacon! The official Zhao Zhen looked at the silent hundred officials, and directly began to say by name.

"The official family of Qiqi, among the officials who need to deal with it, there is the unscrupulous son of the minister, in order to avoid suspicion, it is better for the minister not to say it." Lu Yijian had been prepared for this, and immediately pushed his son out to block the mouth of the official Zhao Zhen and said.

The official Zhao Zhen only remembered it at this time. Lu Yijian's son is also among the officials, and this matter is done. The son of the prime minister of a country is about to be dealt with, and it is dealt with without charges, Fan Zhongyan's matter is a bit excessive!

"Wang Aiqing, what do you think should be done with those officials?" Zhao Zhen, an official, looked at Wang Su, the governor of the political affairs who hurried out of Huashan after the exam, and said.

"Qiqi official family, the reform of Mengyin and the examination of Mengyin officials have always been in charge of Lord Fan, and the minister is not good to say!" Wang Su is not stupid, he knows that if he answers the words of the official Zhao Zhen, no matter how heavy the handling is, it will make hundreds of officials jealous. So he pushed the matter to Fan Zhongyan with a push, saying that he would not answer the question.

The official Zhao Zhen helplessly glanced at the hundreds of officials below, but now he almost didn't have the same heart as Fan Zhongyan, except for those who insisted on the new policy. Fan Zhongyan has been isolated, and he can't find enough officials to invigilate the official exam in a small shade, is the resistance to the new deal really so great!

Fan Zhongyan also figured it out at this time. He didn't want to get help in the court, since he wanted to become famous, it was better for him to do it himself, so Fan Zhongyan immediately walked out of the opposite column and said to the official Zhao Zhen: "Qiqi official!" The minister thought that although the elders of the officials in the shade had made great contributions to the society, the official family and the court had already given those people generously, and then the shadows of their sons and nephews had been done many times, and if the officials in the shade had their talents, it would be good to dismiss those officials who were incompetent and incompetent, and remove them from their posts, so as to correct the style of officialdom. ”

After listening to Fan Zhongyan's words, the official Zhao Zhen glanced at the court again, and then asked indifferently below: "Fan Aiqing's words, do you have any objections?" ”

There was still no one in the hall to speak, but many people looked at Prime Minister Lu Yijian, after all, Lu Yijian's son was also among the officials dealt with this time, if the son dismissed Lu Yijian as Lao Tzu and did not speak, then others probably would not oppose Fan Zhongyan's opinion.

"Official! Lao Chen did not object to Lord Fan's proposal, but he had a lot of curiosity about the content of Lord Fan's exam. Lu Yijian slowly raised his head and said indifferently, and his opening showed that since Fan Zhongyan presided over the new policy, Lu Yijian began to collide face-to-face for the first time.

"I wonder why the Prime Minister is curious?" Fan Zhongyan heard Lu Yijian speak, but he said confidently as if he had been prepared.

"Lord Lu Anlu, presumably Lord Fan is no stranger!" Lu Yijian's tone was still slow, and he looked very calm and asked Fan Zhongyan.

"Lu An, the son of the late Prime Minister Lu Zongdao, is one of the candidates who took the Mengyin official exam this time, and Xia Guan is naturally no stranger." Fan Zhongyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Yijian and said.

"Lord Lu Anlu didn't pass the exam this time, is there such a thing!" Lu Yijian looked at Fan Zhongyan and asked in a deep voice.

"Not bad! Lord Lu's handwriting is blurry and scribbled and difficult to read

Pass the exam. Fan Zhongyan recognized Lu Yijian's question and said.

"Have you ever thought that Lord Lu has a disease in his right hand, which was injured in order to save the people during the natural disaster in Hebei that year, and now the household department has a book of ten thousand people in Hebei for Lord Lu, and now Lord Lu can't write with a pen at all, and the official documents are all written by the staff, so that Lord Lu can personally participate in the official examination of Mengyin, which is difficult for the strongman!" Lu Yijian threw out the reason for the first blow he had thought of Fan Zhongyan and said slowly.

"There's such a thing!" Fan Zhongyan was slightly stunned, and asked the squire of Shangshu Hubu in amazement.

Hearing Shang Shu's affirmative answer, Fan Zhongyan knew in his heart that this time he was in trouble, and Lu An's mouth might become an excuse for Lu Yijian and his opposition to attack.

Thinking of this, Fan Zhongyan hurriedly made up for his mistake and said: "This Mengyin exam is too rushed, and we can't think about many issues!" Since Lord Lu has a disease in his right hand. And it is for the people to be disabled, so this exam Lord Lu will be excluded and there is no need to pass. ”

"Does Master Fan want to shirk responsibility so quickly! Although Lord Lu was transferred back to Bianjing, he had a very high prestige among the people of Hebei, and if those people knew about Lord Lu, some people would definitely be notorious. Du Yan stood up at this time and said sarcastically to Fan Zhongyan.

"The ignorant are not guilty, this matter is the fault of the official, but it is not intentional, and the official will personally apologize to Lord Lu." Fan Zhongyan said with a humble confession.

"Maybe many of the shady officials who didn't pass the exam have inside information! Lord Fan is not going to check all of them again. People can't always spend time in ignorance! Lu Gong, the third son of the Lu family, stood up at this time, and also said to Fan Zhongyan in a sarcastic tone.

"Okay, I don't blame Master Fan for this matter, I can only blame the exam preparation for being too hasty, by the way, the official has another question to ask Master Fan." After Lu Yijian suddenly stood up and scolded Lu Gong, he asked Fan Zhongyan.

"Your Excellency, please speak." Fan Zhongyan said respectfully.

"If someone is an official, he has always been honest and honest, from Bapin County to a prefecture, whether it is civil or officialdom, he has a good reputation. The political achievements are also very prominent, and the local government has built water conservancy and attached importance to agriculture and mulberry. When he went to Beijing, he was dedicated to the country and had a clean breeze on his sleeves, if this kind of person could not pass the official examination, what did Master Fan think. Lu Yijian looked at Fan Zhongyan calmly and asked.

After Lu Yijian's words came out, everyone in the palace understood that Lu Yijian was criticizing the content of the Mengyin examination, and it was impossible not to say that Lu Yijian's words were very vicious. As a result, the officials who took the exam were proficient in poetry but were unable to do government affairs, and Fan Zhongyan took the exam this time, but poetry occupied a large proportion, but there was almost no government affairs. Lu Yijian said that this situation will definitely occur, and good officials and good students must not be equated, and criticize the Mengyin exam. It is equivalent to attacking the new deal, once the Mengyin exam is invalidated, Fan Zhongyan's new deal will not continue.

"I hope that the officials who passed the Mengyin exam this time are not the kind of incompetent officials who can only chant poems and lyrics, I remember that Lord Fan dismissed many such officials during the political trial, if this Mengyin exam is selected for this kind of official, Lord Fan can be regarded as dereliction of duty." Zhao Yunrang, the king of Pu'an, said in a gloomy voice on the side at this time.

"How is it possible, this is an exam held in accordance with the examination standards of the imperial examination, those talented people will definitely pass this exam, and as for those who can't pass, there is definitely a problem." Fan Zhongyan said in the name of the imperial examination to block Lu Yijian and Zhao Yunrang's opinion.

"What if this exam really excludes talented officials?" Lu Yijian said with a smile on his face.

"If there is really a problem with this exam, then it will have to be retaken or the punishment of the official who did not pass the exam will be reduced." Fan Zhongyan hesitated for a moment and replied to Lu Yijian.

"Master Fan said well, the official family, the military department member Wailang Xiangtong Mengyin as an official, outstanding political achievements, foreign places are loved by all the people, but now they can't pass the Mengyin exam, it can be seen that the disadvantages of the Mengyin exam are huge, and the officials who can't pass are not all incompetent, so the minister thinks that the officials who didn't pass the Mengyin exam this time will be demoted to one level and take the exam again next year, if they still can't pass next year, it's not too late to dismiss the official." Lu Yijian finally said his ultimate goal and said to the official Zhao Zhen.

"Lord Lu is right! However, this time the minister was in accordance with the strict imperial examination standards for the examination, despite this, it still has drawbacks, can not select real talents, so the minister thinks that the imperial examination of the imperial court still needs to be reformed, and the policy theory can not fully express the ability of the candidates, should increase the weight of governance, customs, agricultural miscellaneous and other aspects, continue to reduce the proportion of poetry, in order to select more talents for the Great Song Dynasty. Fan Zhongyan suddenly borrowed Lu Yijian's words and put forward a proposal to reform the imperial examination.

"The minister supports the opinions of Lord Lu and Lord Fan!" Ouyang Xiu suddenly stood up at this time and said loudly to the official Zhao Zhen.

Finished! was used by Fan Zhongyan, it turned out that the purpose of Fan Zhongyan's Mengyin examination was to prepare for the reform of the imperial examination. Lu Yijian was dumbfounded at this time, and immediately understood Fan Zhongyan's thoughts, but it was too late to regret it, and he thought helplessly with a wry smile in his heart.
