116 Rectification of the imperial examinations

The blood is boiling, this word is used to describe the two days of the ancient cang, the image can no longer be passed, the emperor issued a holy decree in the country, the order of the New Year around the county of the county, all resigned from their posts and entered Beijing, by the emperor personally checked, and then distributed to various places.

This major decision shocked the people of the whole country, a small county, the highest is only six grades, but the emperor can spend such a mind for his people, how can people not be moved, not happy to submit.

"Why hasn't Wang Qing arrived yet?"

"Father, I am delayed on the road."

It was the prince who explained for Wang Jiexin, Bai Yuqi, who was sitting under the prince, flashed a mocking look, Fang Xing secretly laughed in his heart, lowered his head and drank tea, as if he didn't see it. The crown prince has not yet learned about Wang Jie's rebellion, and the prince of the East Palace is inevitably too worry-free.

"Does it taste good?"

"It's good to go back to the emperor."

Fang Xing got up and replied lightly, today she was sitting opposite the prince, Bai Yuqi's identity was already a level lower than her, even with ministers such as the right minister and the left minister, they had to sit in a row after Fang Xing, it was really surprising, if it weren't for Fang Xing's some real materials, those stubborn old ministers, they really wanted to shout, Gu Cang was going to die...

"The squire of the Criminal Department, Wang Jiexin, is here."

"Minister Wang Jiexin, see the emperor, long live long live, long live, long live, the emperor forgives the sin, the minister is late."

The emperor waved his hand with a little dissatisfaction, Wang Jiexin hunched his waist and got up, wiped the sweat beads on his head, and sat on the last chair, sitting opposite Yu Yuanfan.

"Right Minister, you continue to talk about it last time."

"Yes, the minister thinks that there are many flaws in the imperial examination itself, and there are many flaws in the supervision of favoritism. The guards are not strict enough, etc., and they need to be improved in the future..."

Everyone listened carefully to the opinion of the right minister, and the emperor nodded again and again when he heard it, only Fang Xing was completely like a nobody, his eyes looked at the boots on his feet lightly, it seemed that everything around him was air, or she was also air...

"The old minister thought that the palace examination should be improved, and it was more prudent for the emperor to review the answer sheet together."

"It's also a good proposition."

Zuo Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his chair, and the emperor asked the prince and others for their opinions one after another, it seems that this time he is really determined to purge the imperial examination, but Fang Xing listened to it for a long time, and felt that the people in this room did not talk about the source at all, and everyone was cautious, for fear of offending anyone.

"Wang Qing, what do you think?"

"Huh? The minister thought.. I think that the punishment for those who engage in favoritism and irregularities can be increased..."

Wang Jiexin's eyes were fluttering, his face was ashamed, the expression on his face was really wonderful, the prince faintly flashed a trace of worry, it seemed that he knew, and Bai Yuqi raised his chin and pulled the corners of his mouth, Wang Jiexin surrendered halfway, but what is really based on real learning, he can also see it when he thinks about it.

"Then how does Wang Qing think it should be punished?"

"Minister. The minister thinks that different degrees of treatment should be treated differently.."

Yu Yuanfan stared at Wang Jiexin in puzzlement, in his opinion, Wang Jiexin should not say this kind of mean words that avoid the important and trivial, thinking that the passionate words in the imperial examination article have affected him to this day, but unfortunately the emperor did not give him a chance and did not call him to answer.

"What do you think about the re-examination in a few days?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister thought that setting the test center in the Lin De Hall was enough to reflect the importance that the court attached to this matter."

"It's not proper, the minister thinks it's more orthodox to take the exam in the Tribute Academy."

"Xia Guan doesn't think so..."

Fang Xing took a full view of the situation in the imperial study, and a mocking smile rose at the corner of his mouth, all of them were in such a situation right now, these people still wanted to take advantage of the re-examination to gain surplus profits, and they were all vying to be responsible for this matter, or a piece of the pie..

"Okay, what's the noise, prince, you say.."

"Erchen thinks that it is better to focus on the content of the answer sheet.."

The emperor nodded when he heard this, and smiled at the prince casually, this kind of smile is different from the affirmation of his question answer, different from the spoiling of Fang Xing, only let Fang Xing think of three words, father and son, no emperor, no prince, just the father and son chatting in general, and the emperor also seemed very cordial.

"What does King Qi think?"

"Erchen thinks that he should send heavy troops to guard and search one by one, and he must make sure that every drop of water does not leak."

Bai Yuqi is obviously a little absent-minded, but this acting skill is really a little worse in Fang Xing's eyes, a man like Bai Yuqi should not be blinded by profit, he should be the most uninhibited man in the world, choose a woman he loves, and the two of them will compose a good story vigorously.

"Fang Xing, after listening to this for a while, you can hear something.."

"Back to the emperor, no."

Fang Xing's attitude of staying out of the matter made several ministers very dissatisfied, Fang Xing was sitting here, they had already given in, the emperor attached so much importance to the question, she looked like she had nothing to do with herself, but she really thought that the emperor's concubine and child could reply by temperament.

"Tsk, don't hide it, just say what you propose."

"This.."

Fang Xing lowered her eyes, her eyes were blocked by her long eyelashes, and she couldn't find any waves, she did have some opinions about the imperial examination, which seemed to be deviating from her plan, so she thought about it in her heart, but she really wanted to say something worthy of this title?

"If you want to say it, no one here dares to say anything about you."

"Then Fang Xing said, the imperial examination, why did the ancestor emperor establish the imperial examination system? It is to select more talents for the imperial court, so that some capable children of the poor can shine, but now, the recommender and the invigilator are cheating, and the recommended and many candidates are selling their reputations.

Fang Xing's face was ruddy, his eyes were clear, and his tone was very gentle, Yu Yuanfan couldn't help but quietly pinched his waist, if Fang Xing was really the male body when he first met, Yu Yuanfan would definitely want to recognize a brother with her, such straightforward words even he had to take care of one or two, Fang Xing not only didn't, but also seemed to be talking about it..

"Let's talk about the imperial examination first, it is divided into children's examination, township examination, meeting examination, and palace examination. Speaking of floating tickets, the candidate's figure, appearance, beard, fetumorrhoids and other obvious characteristics should be recorded in detail. Or there is a more effective method, the guarantee system, in which several people from the same township who take the examination guarantee each other, and once one of them is found to have a problem, several people are implicated in each other, so that they can supervise each other. ”

"That's a good idea."

The emperor unintentionally interrupted Fang Xing, but he was not pandering, he was really excited that a practical idea was taken out, and it could be used on time, not like this gang and mud and only for personal gain, it is really feasible.

"Ahem.. Go on. ”

In addition, to curb nepotism, call on Corporal Lixian, to make the imperial examination the fairest talent selection system. Even those who come from famous families are proud to enter the officialdom by proving their talents by taking exams instead of relying on their ranks. The system of locking the hospital is adopted, and the invigilator does not notify in advance, and the candidate's name, age, and three generations of information are sealed, or the candidate's article is directly transcribed, and the examiner does not inform in advance. ”

The emperor listened energetically, and saw that Fang Xing suddenly turned around and took a sip of the cup, without the emperor's eyes reminding, Gonggong Gao immediately came over to add hot tea to her, and the prince was also very different from before, watching Fang Xing talk eloquently, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more bright.

"As Lord Wang said, if a cheater is found, he will be fined and disqualified from the scientific examination for life, and the same will be true for his descendants and searchers. Those who take the exam, remove their fame, and assign them to serve in service.. If the examiner shows favoritism, he will be dismissed from his post and severely punished. In addition, in the palace examination, Fang Xing thought that the emperor should temporarily ask questions, and the candidates could speak out, without evasion, and then the emperor would take measures to distinguish between the officials and the officials, not the family."

"Very good. Very good. ”

Several courtiers nodded to each other in accord with the emperor, for them, this is not good. Fang Xing is not right, what is the purpose of the imperial examination, it is to break through the monopoly of the family career, and to suppress the role of the family in the court.

"In the end, Fang Xing thought that the first scholar needs to return the papers, within ten days after the list is issued, all the candidates who fail to get their own test papers can be consulted, and it is strictly forbidden for the examiner to hide and blackmail, and the examiner must annotate the reasons for not winning the test papers, if the examiner wantonly obliterates the good article, the candidate can go to Dali Temple and other places to complain."

"That's a great point."

Yu Yuanfan praised softly, he just came out of the imperial examination, and those who were not born... The pain of the imperial examination is a lingering hidden pain in the hearts of those who fail in the imperial examination, and most people will not even be able to get out of it for a lifetime.

"His Royal Highness King Yu has a high opinion and admires it."

"King Yu really lives up to his reputation."

These officials are not going to shoot Fang Xing's ass, after all, their rank has reached an unattainable status, only Wang Jiexin, who is sitting at the end, has been wiping his sweat all the time, such a long time has passed, and the stove in the imperial study is not so hot, why does he look so.. Guilty?

"Then in King Yu's opinion, how should this re-examination be?"

"The right minister sits down quickly, and in his opinion, since he said that he wanted to be fair and just, he chose a place in Yan'an City that could be witnessed by the people, and then released the punishment system, but there was no need for any investigation."

The emperor gasped, what a good way, these people are also officials who have been in office for a few months, if they still need to go through the imperial examination, it is inevitable that this is a superfluous move, and it is also used to remind them not to commit it knowingly, otherwise it will be a crime of bullying the king.

"This is very good, in this way, Fang Xing and the prince are responsible for the two of you, and when I arrive, you can just check the questions."

"The emperor is wise, but since the previous candidates all need to retake the exam, it is better to let Lord Wang join with Lord Yu..."

Wang Jie was so frightened that he almost fell off the chair, and he was even more panicked in his heart, what did Fang Xing mean? Why do you want him to take the test again, if he takes it again... In case of...
