542. Datang Civil Service Examination (1)

Jingwen entered the palace, and then many court officials were waiting for Jingwen here. However, Jingwen did not panic, because as long as he could come up with a solution, it would not be a big problem. The key is that now many officials have come over, which has caused the bloated institutions of the imperial court, so they will find a way to solve it.

"Your Majesty, the minister is apprentice to the imperial history of Zhang Yang, and impeached Jing Wen, the director of the Tang Political Research Office, who was a regular attendant of the loose cavalry, and he bewitched the emperor, which resulted in the current bloated imperial court institutions, so please remove Jing Wen from his position as a punishment!" Said a young official.

And Jingwen looked at this guy and made it clear that this guy was definitely a new science and technology jinshi who had just entered the officialdom this year, and just after the list was released, these guys immediately entered the Yushi Observatory as a trainee Yushi. But now the imperial court has introduced a policy of unifying officials who can make officials officials, which makes him very dissatisfied. Originally, he worked hard to be an official, but now a group of small officials can be a group, so that his official position is not so golden, which makes him very jealous of those small officials. And this idea was come up with Jing Wen, so naturally it was to beat Jing Wen up. Now that the major yamen institutions in Jingzhao Mansion are bloated, that is naturally the best reason to criticize Jingwen, so he immediately opened his mouth at Jingwen and sprayed Jingwen vigorously.

But Jingwen said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this flamboyant TiyΓ¬ thinks it is true. ”

"Poof-" Li Shimin squirted out a mouthful of hot tea.

Jingwen actually took the initiative to agree with others to impeach himself, what kind of play is this! I have never heard of someone taking the initiative to approve of someone impeaching him, which is simply unusual.

"Your Majesty, although the minister thinks so, he thinks that everyone should be held accountable! Some people couldn't stand the persuasion of those relatives and friends who entrusted them with their relationship, so they arranged for relatives and friends to enter the major yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. This is to increase the burden on my Datang, so please punish the emperor severely. Jing Wenyi said rhetorically.

Jingwen said this, but he passed on all the impeachment of this imperial history to others. Because although this mention was brought up by Jingwen. However, Jingwen did not review the right of those small officials to enter the government, and it was those officials who had the right to insert people because they could not stop everyone's pleas. So, in the final analysis, it is the dereliction of duty of these officials who have auditors to work in the government. Jingwen is passing on all the flamboyant impeachments in this bathroom, which is equivalent to pulling all those derelict officials into the water. If this is the case, if Jingwen is to be punished, wouldn't it be necessary to punish all those officials who have failed in their duties? Because those small officials were recruited by middle-level officials, they were wronged and had debts, so to punish Jingwen, those guys must be punished. But in this way, the middle-level officials of the court are probably empty. Li Shimin will never do this cheating.

"Alright. These officials were not recruited by Jingwen, needless to say. Now, it's time to discuss how to solve this problem! Jingwen, although the main responsibility for this matter is not yours, but the root is also in your mention, so you can solve this matter! Li Shimin said.

Jingwen immediately had an idea and said, "Your Majesty, since the current officials can all have the opportunity to become officials. So why are we so cheap for those people? If this is the case, I am afraid that the officials of the imperial court will come in through the friends of the ordinary officials to support the funds, and those who are indiscriminate will also become officials. Therefore, the ministers also have to conduct examinations for the officials. It's the kind of exam that is similar to the imperial examination! ”

"Then what's the difference between this and the imperial examination?" Li Shimin asked.

Jingwen immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination is to select court officials, and this examination is only to select ordinary officials, not to choose court officials. So. The grade here is much worse, and it will not affect the imperial examination. As an official, the starting point of the imperial examination is much higher than that of other officials. Those who have a high heart will not take this exam, which is only for officials. In the future, if the unity of officials can be completed smoothly, then ordinary officials will also have to undergo an assessment before they can take up their posts and become officials. If those officials are allowed to hire them privately, it will inevitably be uneven, so they will still be uniformly examined and assigned, and then they will be able to take up their posts. And the examinations of these officials are mainly based on practical knowledge. For example, arithmetic, language comprehension, and means of resolving disputes, as well as various things that are needed to do things, are based on actual needs. The content of the examination can also be changed according to actual needs, so that the government can improve its governance ability at any time. ”

"So what's the point of such an imperial examination? Your Majesty, Jingwen is instigating the emperor to abolish the imperial examination! I am the Ming Jing Ke and the first, so what is the use of the Ming Jing Ke and the first in the future? Apprentice Yu Shi Zhang Yang asked again.

Jingwen's examination is completely digging into the foundation of officials who study scripture and history. Because there are still some uses for history, but these scriptures have nothing to do with being an official at all. If you really want to play like this, then what future does the person of Ming Jingke have! In each imperial examination, the number of people who passed the Ming Jing examination accounted for at least two-thirds, if the Ming Jing had no future, then who would still study the scriptures? If this is done, then it will be meaningless to publicize this person who has become an official by studying scriptures.

But this Zhang Yang didn't expect that Jingwen just hoped to be able to pass the so-called assessment of officials and change everyone's bad habit of learning scriptures and history. Most of the people in the Tang Dynasty studied scriptures and became officials, while there were very few other talents and scholars. And Jingwen just hopes to let those students see that being a clerk also has the opportunity to become a high-ranking official, and then let them set their sights on starting from the bottom. Jingwen's plan for the integration of officials is very big, but in fact, it has already changed the pattern of the source of future officials. This makes those officials who rely on the Ming Jing Branch to get into the government feel uneasy, because their administrative ability is obviously not good, they are all a bunch of nerds. Because the subjects of the Ming Jing exam are all prepared for rote nerds, and what fill-in-the-blank questions, what translation questions, and many other rote questions are the originators of the Ming Jing subject. Moreover, with so many scriptures memorized by rote, their actual ability is very questionable. Even, Jingwen doubted whether there was a need for this Ming Jingke to survive. Therefore, Jingwen plans to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle and directly implement the so-called official examination, so as to reverse the ideas of students who want to become officials in the world, so that they can all learn those practical knowledge.
