The death of the thief in the edict prison, the flow of the stream, has been much spacious, and is waiting for the newcomer to be thrown in?

The lessons of the thieves are not far away, and Zhang Anshi and others will definitely not dare to touch the scales of the Son of Heaven.

They realized another truth today, the Son of Heaven likes to use yang schemes, but he doesn't like to use conspiracy.

Every shot of the Son of Heaven was supported by the righteousness of "the emperor's sole rule", which suppressed Zhang Anshi and other courtiers who couldn't even raise their heads.

All the court affairs that were put on the table to discuss, they could only listen to the Son of Heaven and could not have any resistance.

"As for this Renzi system...... Liu He deliberately stopped after saying this, this is the thing that can poke Zhang Anshi and others the most.

After all the external and internal officials present looked at him, Liu Hecai continued to speak clearly.

"The two thousand stone officials are all pillars of the court, and they have spent energy on government affairs, and it is reasonable to give their children some preferential treatment."

"Therefore, the sudden abolition of the appointment system may also chill the hearts of important ministers in the court and cause turmoil in the court......"

Liu He said slowly, he was now like a fisherman who was good at fishing, and the line in his hand was lifted and released, teasing the fish in the pond.

This made Zhang Anshi and others bitter, their expressions were sometimes happy and sometimes worried, which was simply wonderful.

The good thing is that the Son of Heaven seems to be intending to keep the Renzi system, and the worry is that the Son of Heaven seems to be changing again.

But just like the expropriation system just now, they now only have to listen, and have no way to resist.

"Zhang Qing, I want to ask you, how many sons do you have?" Liu He suddenly interrupted and asked.

"Wechen...... Wechen has two sons. Zhang Anshi said hesitantly.

"No, I remember that you have three sons." Liu He said firmly.

"When the youngest son Peng Zu was born, he passed on to his brother." Zhang Anshi hurriedly explained.

"Then it also belongs to the scope of Renzi, I ask Ling, are these three sons of your family all based on Renzi's system?"

"Your Majesty Shengming......" Zhang Anshi replied truthfully, his sons are not bad at learning, but in any case, they can't reach the threshold of "probation".

"Gong Qing, how many sons do you have, who have taken the path of this son-in-office system?" Zhang Anshi asked with a smile again.

"In the past, the old man's rank was low, and the heirs did not get this preferential treatment, as for the future...... It is not yet known whether the old man will survive three years in office. Gong Sui smiled.

Gong Sui's self-deprecating words attracted everyone's laughter, and the atmosphere in the hall relaxed slightly.

"Since the imperial examination system will be implemented in the future, and the original Renzi system will be retained, it will be unsightly......"

"Confucianism in the world will laugh at the princes' heirs are all wine bags and rice bags, which is more likely to cause public anger......"

"Therefore, the Renzi system has to be changed, and courtiers with more than 2,000 stones can raise one of them as a lang after serving for three years, but only one person."

The foreign court official sitting on the left side did not have any change in his expression: after all, the three of them are old, their time is short, and it is too late for their heirs to enter the office, and Yu Wuwu has no heirs.

The faces of the inner court officials sitting on the right side sank: they are in the prime of life, and there are many children and nephews who can be recommended.

Didn't you really let them all go to the imperial examination? Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, so how could the result be predicted?

Liu He looked at their ugly faces like swallowing flies, and felt funny in his heart: I have already given you preferential treatment, don't be ignorant.

I just want to let the talents of the world roll up and roll up the big families.

"Zhang Qing, Bingqing, Wei Qing, Uncle ......"

"Why do you have a difficult look on your face, are you afraid that your children and nephews will not be successful, and you won't be able to produce a master without this son?"

"If that's the case, I could have issued an edict to reserve this power for the cabinet alone?"

"After all, the cabinet scholars are the hardest, and the officials and people in the world will not object."

When Liu He said this, a pair of sword eyes were as clear as autumn water, and there was no dirt of scheming and scheming in them.

It seems that there is a real desire to give the cabinet a way out.

But whether it is true or not, the cabinet does not dare to agree to come down.

As if someone had given an order, several people shook their heads again and again in refusal

Where can they not refuse: if they agree, they will not only be ridiculed by the world, but also admit that their children and nephews are not angry-but will affect their careers.

"This is not an exception." Zhang Anshi waved his hand again and again.

"The children and nephews in the family can read the Bible." Wei Xian also said with a dark face.

"Your Majesty is very loving, and you still have to let your nephews and nephews improve themselves." Liu De and Bingji also said insincerely.

Liu He smiled and nodded, and once again exhorted several important ministers to understand the righteousness.

Judging from the scene, the monarch and the minister are harmonious, so touching.

But under the forced smile, Zhang Anshi and others complained bitterly.

The Son of Heaven moved this family, which was equivalent to being punished by the palace: the root was only cut in half, but it was useless.

And the knife used for execution is the imperial examination system that has not yet shown its true face.

I don't know what else the Son of Heaven has done today-it's simply terrifying.

Liu He explained that the first feature of the imperial examination system is about to emerge.

That is "every entry must be tested".

In the future, only by starting from the imperial examination system can we go on the right path and go far in our official career.

The rest of the ways can only be evil ways, and they can be outstanding, but they will be laughed at by their peers.

"Okay, then I'll continue to talk about it, and then talk about how to take the imperial examination system."

This is another important thing, since the Ren Zi system is already in name, the sooner he knew how to take this imperial examination, he could have prepared for the children and nephews in the family earlier.

"There are thousands of official positions in the court and the government office, and the talents needed are naturally different.......

"And the doctoral disciples in Taixue also have a saying about archery countermeasures......"

"Therefore, the imperial examination system naturally has to be examined separately."

"The first subject is [virtuous literature], which examines the meaning of Confucianism."

"The second subject is [Ming Law General Law], which examines the law and prison."

"The third subject is [Fierce Knowledge of the Art of War], which examines the art of war."

"The fourth subject is [planting mulberry fields] 'examining agricultural mulberry farming jobs.'"

"The fifth subject is [arithmetic geometry], which is an arithmetic measurement."

"The sixth subject is [Metalworking Wood], which examines the study of craftsmen."

"The seventh subject is [Commercial Trade], which examines the study of business."

"The eighth subject is [Philosophy and Heavenly Principles], which examines the study of Heavenly Dao."

"In addition to the subject of virtuous literature, the rest of the subjects must add a subject [Ming Jing], and the Ming Jing is to test the meaning of the Confucian Scripture."

"After all, the Han Dynasty 'respects Confucianism', and officials who are prominent should still be Confucian students, so naturally they can't be ignorant of Confucianism."

"As for the selection of rankings, it is also easy, after transcribing the name, the examiner will score the students' examination papers, and finally accumulate points to select the best."

"In addition, except for the convicts and the guilty of three generations, all the people of the household can participate in the imperial examination."

The so-called household Qimin covers almost all the people who pay taxes, even merchants and artisans.

These are the subjects of the imperial examination that Liu He thought of temporarily, so he gave them the title of "Eight Subjects of the Imperial Examination".

In this arrangement, the family has an advantage in the subject of virtuous literature, but it may not be able to compete with other families in other subjects.

Subsequently, Liu He explained some specific details of the imperial examination, such as time, papers, scoring, test questions, etc., which are complicated and complicated.

For the eight courtiers who were born and raised in the Han Dynasty, this set of examination systems is simply like a heavenly thing, and it is completely unheard of.

But in fact, Liu He just directly moved the set of things that later generations "tested the metric system" over.

It took half an hour for Liu He to explain the various passes and details of the imperial examination system clearly.

Then, Liu He went to the back of the dormitory and circulated a few exam papers printed in advance to the courtiers.

Throughout this process, he had been observing the reactions of the courtiers.

Stunned, surprised, admired, angry, suspicious...... And so on.

The people who learned Confucianism best here were naturally Gong Sui, Wang Shi, and Wei Xian, and their expressions were very changeable and very interesting.

I am afraid that in their hearts, there is a fine line between the "imperial examination system" they have implemented and the madness - or it is the madness.

Gong Sui and Wang Shi were more confident in the talent of the Son of Heaven, so they listened respectfully with patience, but Wei Xian was different, blowing his beard and glaring, undisguised.

It is normal to have such a reaction, if this group of courtiers sat on the couch and listened to themselves quietly, Liu He would be suspicious.

He wondered if the group was from the same place as him.

It was another half an hour, and all the courtiers present knew everything about the imperial examination system.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if there is anything I don't understand, I can explain it to you again......"

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say!" Wei Xian didn't wait for Liu He to finish speaking, and stood up from the couch.

Wei Xian is thin and straight, and he is kind and kind on weekdays, looking at his appearance, he has the style of a fairy wind and bones.

Now, that leisurely temperament is gone, but there is a layer of anger that can't be hidden.

"Don't worry, Wei Ge Lao, do you understand the connection between this imperial examination system and the Zhen school system?"

"Hmph, Your Majesty, the old man naturally understands, it is nothing more than what the official school teaches and what the imperial examination examines." Wei Xian said hatefully.

"Elder Wei Ge is worthy of being a Confucian elder, and he actually saw what I thought."

"Elder Wei Ge is right, I spend so much money and food to train so many scholars, so naturally I want them to be officials."

"Of course, scholars who have not entered the government can also participate in the imperial examination, without discrimination and without bias."

Liu He said it was heroic and frank, but this time he did not get the support of the courtiers.

Especially Wei Xian, who stood up, his disrespectful anger towards the Son of Heaven was already overflowing.

In Liu He's impression, Wei Xian's presence in the court is not strong, but he can be regarded as a loyal minister.

When he was pro-government, it was he who took the lead in expressing support for Liu He in the front hall, and led a group of "centrists" to defect and help Liu He smoothly pro-government.

Therefore, even if Liu He does not consider Wei Xuancheng's factors, he will recognize Wei Xian as a person who understands current affairs.

Unexpectedly, this time, Wei Xuancheng expressed his dissatisfaction so clearly, it seems that the Xuan school system and the imperial examination system have really poked the lungs of these people.
