Previously, Princess Yuanping recommended many capable ministers for our dynasty, and the mourning family was deeply grateful. For the long-term development of our dynasty, the mourning family also wants to do some modest efforts to promote talented and ambitious people, and continue the long-term prosperity of the children. Therefore, in this year's scientific examination, more selections will be made, and the unsuccessful candidates will also be given one more opportunity to show, so as not to have personal regrets for life and avoid missing out on talents. ”

As soon as Empress Dai waved her hand, an attendant entered the hall with one or two hundred mermaids.

The main hall was instantly filled with people, and there were even some people standing outside the hall and couldn't get inside.

The ministers were strange, and they didn't know what this meant.

Empress Dai stood up and explained to the ministers, which was also an encouragement to the students who came to the palace.

"These are the students who have not been included in the list of this year's scientific examination, after several screenings, the words and deeds, loyalty and filial piety, and outstanding literary talents have been selected, and they are allowed to come to the palace today, just to invite you Aiqing to take a look together, but there are people who can be used again, and they can be entrusted with important tasks, and then enter the court."

There was a burst of controversy in the main hall.

"The people of this imperial examination already pay attention to selecting people by writing, and today they have changed to other standards of words and deeds, loyalty and filial piety, how can they become a tangible system, and how can they ensure the fairness of the period from the beginning to the end?"

"But in addition to writing, there are also talented people in other aspects, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to be able to reuse these people."

"The number of people on the list of the imperial examination is set every year, and if you choose again today, it will be a violation of the rules. Is it possible to increase the number of people on the list every year in the future? In the government and the opposition, I'm afraid there are not so many official positions that can make people take office. ”

"This imperial examination is really grinding, if there is only one difference, it will take another year. The intolerance and pressure during this period are hundreds of times stronger than usual. If it can be appropriately relaxed, it will indeed allow candidates to relax some of their mood. But all at once, I was torturing so many people, this and this ......"

……

Shi Wang also had some entanglements in his heart.

She naturally knows the difficulties in the scientific examination, how many people compete for only a few hundred shares, and because of the examiner's personal preferences, special physical conditions, etc., there are not a few people who regret leaving the venue every year, and many of them naturally fail to play their true level.

Thinking about it this way, there is indeed a re-selection.

But breaking the routine is not an ordinary thing, let alone such a national exam.

If, after careful thinking and multiple adjustments, a complete set of systems adapted to the new thinking is formulated, and the new system can be better extended, Shi Wang will naturally not oppose it, but will do its part in it.

But like Empress Dai, without the consultation of the ministers, she brought these candidates to the court and directly announced the new system, which was somewhat unacceptable.

"Queen Mother, Yuan Ping didn't have a problem with this matter, but felt that the sudden change was a bit hasty. It is better to order someone to revise the scientific examination system first, and then select talents according to this in the coming year after it is complete. Is that good? ”

Empress Dai seemed to expect her to refute like this, and said with a smile: "The mourning family has already planned, and they have also ordered someone to formulate a selection method that is in line with the mourning family's wishes. These students are people with special talents. If the princess doesn't believe her, she can ask them. ”

But Shi Wang has never participated in the scientific examination, and he does not know how to ask questions, how to distinguish whether the answer is good, and how to take on this important responsibility.

"In this way, isn't there a squire in the princess's mansion who is in the Tai Academy? If the mourning family asks people to test the qualifications of these people, it will be difficult to convince the public. Let the squire come to test, the princess should be relieved. ”

Empress Dai can rest assured that her own people will come to the test, presumably because she has been prepared for it.

Sure enough, Lu Ying came to the main hall for the first time as an official and asked the talents selected by the hall, and sure enough, the answers were fluent. Although it is not inferior to the top talents, it can indeed be on the list.

"In this case, the princess should be relieved, right?"

Shi Wang had nothing to say.

"Niangniang, these people do have some strengths, but how can they get the opportunity to be officials because of this," Wen gradually replied, with a smile in his words, not daring to offend Empress Dai too harshly, "Besides, these one or two hundred people go to the palace, Niangniang means that more than ten talented people will probably be selected to enter the court as officials, how to choose is another headache." Moreover, where did the DPRK get so many seats for newcomers to sit? ”

Since the mourning family has the ability to select these people, they naturally have the ability to select the most talented people among them. As for the official position," Empress Dai suddenly smiled, "Now that it is no longer a troubled time, it is natural that there will be a new atmosphere if you can leave more opportunities for young people." Like Wen Xiang, who has been an official for many years and has made contributions to his son, how can the mourning family be embarrassed to let you and others work hard until the last moment of their lives. Naturally, it is necessary to understand the truth of letting the old ministers enjoy their old age in peace. ”

Wen Yan's smile froze on his face, and even his movements stiffened a little.

The implication of this is to resign all the old ministers like himself and let the newcomers take over?

Empress Dai seemed to have said the wrong thing, and deliberately turned around: "Of course, except for a courtier like Wen Xiang, who is experienced and has a good practice, the son attack is absolutely inseparable, and the mourning family is unwilling to let go so early and let Wen Xiang leave." ”

Wen gradually smiled miserably and retreated into the queue.

Since Empress Dai was so confident that she was determined to select the available talents from among them, and it seemed that she had indeed put a lot of effort into it, she could only obey her will and let her choose it herself.

But when she returned home, Lu Ying said something to Shi Wang that made her suspicious.

"Among those people, there are indeed students who are really talented and learned, but when I ask those questions, most of them are the same people answering, and most of them are still silent, and they don't even dare to look me in the eyes. I'm not sure if there are people fishing in troubled waters, but I just think something is wrong. ”

"You mean, the Queen Mother uses a few talented people to cover up the useless talents of most people?"

Lu Ying's expression was entangled: "I'm not sure, but there is indeed something wrong with the atmosphere in the face today." If the Queen Mother uses this to cover up some private motives, it is indeed not impossible. ”

Shi Wang was very difficult, and he really couldn't guess what kind of thoughts Empress Dai was hiding in this.

However, this reflection did not last long.

Three days later, Empress Dai selected eleven of the students from the one or two hundred to be appointed to official positions as additional talents for the imperial examination, and assigned them to various departments in the Hindu.

If it is really a talented person, it is fine, it is just an additional selected talent.

But if you look at the list, you can see that something is wrong.

Among the eleven people, five of them were surnamed Wei, and it was these five people who held the highest official position among the eleven people, and the remaining six were the people who answered Lu Ying's mouth that day.
