Inside the Zhenguan Temple.

Emperor Li Zhi was lying on the dragon bed, not far away, was the queen of heaven, who was reviewing the recitals, and Shangguan Wan'er was sorting out the recitals on the side, selecting important recitals for the queen to review.

"Huh!" Shangguan Wan'er exclaimed.

The queen of heaven was deaf and clear-sighted, so she asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "It's the recital of General Zuo Yu Lin Wei, as well as the recital of the servant of the Ministry of Servants and the Servant of Wu. ”

The queen of heaven smiled, and it made people feel like a spring breeze, and she said: "Okay, isn't it Wuqing, let this palace take a look." ”

Shangguan Wan'er's face did not change at all, and she handed over the music with both hands, and the queen of heaven secretly praised it in her heart, so she took over the two books, and the queen of heaven first opened the music of the servant of the ministry, only to see that it was written: "When the minister hears that the world is stable, the people are happy." The court is stable, then the warehouse is full, and now the warehouse is dissatisfied, the treasury is empty, is it the fault of the court, no, the minister thinks that the courtier's doctor thinks about the ear, where he talks about business, he thinks that he is a cheap livelihood, where he opens a mine and trade, he will say that he will compete with the people for profit. The minister thinks this is a fallacy"

In short, the first is to open a monopoly on salt and iron, one is to regulate private trade, the other can also control the flow of pig iron into the grassland, Tubo and other enemies, and the third can increase the imperial court's taxes and build more infrastructure.

The second is the establishment of the city shipping department, because the sea trade has gradually developed, in Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places have appeared a scene of hundreds of battles, the establishment of the city shipping department can not only standardize the management of the port order, but also increase the imperial court's financial revenue, to expand the port wharf.

The third is to abolish the system of selecting low-level officials in the ministry, on the grounds that I am born to be useful. You can't turn away talented people because of their appearance, etc. The selection system can be used for the promotion of senior officials.

The fourth is to emphasize the imperial examination, and the examination papers are obscured to prevent favoritism and malpractice, and the palace examination is increased. By the proposition of the Son of Heaven, the palace is played, the Son of Heaven hand-picks the champion, and sets up the list of eyes and flowers, which are the top three.

Article 5 is to extend the term of office of the delegated officials to five years, and the annual performance appraisal determines whether to be re-elected in the following year, but after five years. For better or worse, they must be transferred.

Article 6 is that officials of the third rank or above are not allowed to use military force. Those who do not have five years of experience as officials are not allowed to enter the center, so that the prime minister can understand the suffering of the people and assist the emperor in making reasonable decisions.

After reading this book, the queen read this book. I couldn't help but be deeply shocked in my heart. This is almost a reform, the most important of which is the reform of the imperial examination, this article deeply touched her heart, if such a change, anyone who has passed the palace examination, it is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, this one is very suitable for her heart. As for the rest, the queen still feels that it cannot be implemented for the time being. So she drew a heavy circle with a red pen on the fifth one. Said: "This one works! ”

Shangguan Wan'er understood, so she used a red pen to write small characters on the side. After the government hall was discussed, the Zhongshu Province made an edict and promulgated it to the world.

The queen of heaven paused, she opened the music of Wu Qing, the general of Zuo Yu Lin Wei, and looked at it, her face couldn't help but be moved.

In the recital, he wrote a proposal for the whole army.

The first is that the 16 guards of the forbidden army are strictly absent, and the generals sit on empty salaries, and the actual registered soldiers should be re-examined and inspected.

The second is that the people live in poverty and the Zhechong Mansion is becoming more and more corrupt, so the Zhechong Mansion can be abolished, the recruitment system can be implemented, the 12 guards will be supplemented, the 12 guards will be full, and the soldier rehabilitation system can be implemented.

The third is to reorganize and train the new army, and to be independent of the Northern and Southern Forbidden Army.

The fourth is to increase the number of martial arts, recruit warriors from all over the world, and recruit generals by imitating the imperial examination.

The fifth is to increase the remuneration of border troops in order to enhance their enthusiasm for fighting.

The queen of heaven took a deep breath, and had to say that Wu Qing's words all hit the nail on the head of the drawbacks of the army today, of course, if these drawbacks are true, either abolish the Zhechong Mansion and recruit soldiers to train the new army, but in this way, how can those nobles agree, if it is not handled properly, it is easy to mutiny, as for improving the treatment of the border army, now the warehouse is not surplus, the treasury is depleted, how can it be raised. As for martial arts, the queen of heaven thought about it and forgot it.

"This sparseness does not happen."

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, then nodded softly in agreement, and put it into a sandalwood box.

The Emperor woke up at this time, and when he heard the words of the Queen of Heaven, he asked, "O Queen of Heaven, whose song is it that is left in the middle of the story?" ”

The queen smiled: "It's the horse's play." ”

The Emperor was stunned for a moment and said, "Take it to me and show it." ”

The queen of heaven turned her head and said, "Bring the song." ”

Shangguan Wan'er took out the song and handed it to the queen of heaven, who got up and walked to Emperor Li Zhi, sat at the head of the bed, and said, "Ah Lang don't be angry when you see it." ”

The Emperor smiled: "It must be Wu Qing who said something, I really have some expectations." So he opened the recital, and when he saw it, there was a look of anger on his face.

The queen of heaven immediately said: "Hey, I know that you are going to be angry, and you have to see, now that it's okay, I'm afraid that you will get angry again." ”

The Emperor sighed and said, "I am not a martial artist, but under my rule, is it really like this in the army?" ”

The queen of heaven said: "The words of this Wuqing family can't be fully believed, if there is peace today, the people are peaceful, although there are occasional rebellions, they are also quickly exterminated." Ah Lang, don't worry, take care of the dragon's body. ”

The emperor sighed in his heart, he is not a fool, since Wu Qing can bring it up, then it is obvious that the army has at least begun to erode. If the rotten flesh is gone, how can new meat grow? But he also understands that his body is not enough to complete this arduous task, and the queen of heaven can't suppress it, so he can only wait for the prince to really take charge of the government before changing it.

"Okay, Mei Niang, I'm a little tired. I've worked hard for you, and I want you to review it. ”

The queen of heaven suddenly had tears in her eyes, and said: "As long as Ah Lang can understand Mei Niang, what if Mei Niang works hard!" ”

In the government hall.

Zhongshu ordered Xue Yuanchao to preside over the deliberations of the political hall, he took out a note and said: "Wu Shilang's proposal to hold the imperial examination has been approved by the emperor, and I will discuss it first." Let's ask Wu Shilang to talk about this first. ”

Wu Qing sighed in his heart, it seemed that the two books were sparse, and only this one was passed, so he got up and said: "Since I implemented the imperial examination and selected scholars, although I have attached importance to it, I have not attached importance to it. First of all, it is necessary to adopt a system of not being vague and submitting papers. This is obviously not the original intention of the establishment of the imperial examination candidates, and favoritism and fraud are inevitable, such as the fraud case in the first year of the Shangyuan Dynasty. The non-obscure system allows those who take advantage of the loopholes. If the selection of candidates for the imperial examination is carried out by relying on the consciousness and conscience of officials, then there is no doubt that this is unfair. It has an impact on the face of the court and the saints. Therefore, it is imperative for the imperial examination to adopt a vague name system. The main purpose of taking the temple examination is to increase the sense of honor of the jinshi, and after the palace test, the saint can directly understand the talents of the jinshi, and can be conferred in person. ”

The prime ministers gasped, if so, then there is no doubt that the imperial examination will usher in a peak.

Xue Yuanchao nodded and said, "You can express your opinions, if you have no objections, then you can make an edict." ”

"The lower officials have no objections!"

"No objection!" (To be continued......)
