"Of course, it is necessary, any reform is not a dinner party, it can be decided casually, a country's progress is in the process of exploration, and the improvement of any system is also improved in the process of exploration."

"Although the current unified examination system looks very good, we can't completely deny the old system, our people can't withstand too many changes, so as an official, as the helmsman of this country, we must be cautious every step we take."

"Because a small change in national policy may have a lifetime impact on the entire people."

"Then, without confirming that the system of the past is unreasonable and outdated, we must make bold assumptions, carefully verify them, and reform them with an extremely firm determination, but we must also change them at a cautious pace."

"The talents selected by the unified examination system seem to be good at present, but the traditional imperial examination system, the traditional selection system, the talents selected by the traditional selection system are even worse?"

"Before we select this group of talents, we can't completely deny it, so we have to give them a chance, or even many opportunities, so that they can seriously participate in the imperial examination, and then after selecting the talents, let them also go to work in various yamen to prove themselves."

"If they are indeed more powerful, then why should I cancel the imperial examination? Because they are also talents! ”

"But if they are not powerful, just like some rumors from the outside world, the reason why these disciples of the nobility in the past appeared to be elite is because they have no competition, and the reason why they can pass the exam is because the number is too small, in fact, they are all stupid, stupid and so on."

Such rumors are indispensable, but the appearance of anything must be questioned, and it can be passed down after testing, just like the unified examination, at the beginning of the folk said that there was nothing to say, I heard that many people said that the golden phoenix could not fly in the chicken coop. But isn't there still a lot of students from ordinary people who have also achieved good results in the exam, got the first class, and now their performance in various yamen is also outstanding, and they are praised by everyone here? ”

"This shows that nothing is absolute."

"There is a local saying among the people, it is called a mule, and a horse comes out for a walk. Therefore, instead of canceling the imperial examination, we will increase the scale of the imperial examination next year, so that all qualified students in the past can join it, and the scale of admission next year will also be expanded. ”

"Now Datang is on the road of high-speed advancement, Datang needs a large number of officials, as long as they are talented, I will give them a platform to show! The Tang Dynasty gave them a platform to display their talents! ”

"Even some people who claim to be powerful, but have not had the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination, and have no way to participate in the unified examination after their age, can also recommend themselves to participate in this imperial examination."

"What are the results, the exam is over, and I will take up the post, and after a year or two, I will know." Li Ke said with a calm face.

"Liang Guogong, do you still have any objections?"

Fang Xuanling bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness said is very true, the ministers have no objections, and I believe that other ministers have no objections." ”

"What about the others?" Li Ke looked at the others.

Everyone looked left and right, what else could they say? Or Li Ke has already said this, they don't seem to have anything to say, because if you still object, do you think that the scholars of the gate valve family, these elites who have been cultivated since childhood, are not as good as the children of the poor people who have been studying for a few years?

If this is the case, then it really seems that there is no need for this imperial examination to exist, it can not exist, His Highness has made it very clear.

So of course they won't object, and this matter naturally passed the consent of the entire court as a matter of course.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Li Ke said directly: "Is the historian here?" ”

"The minister is here." The historian sitting next to the court stood up.

"Transcribe what I just said, without changing the original text, word for word, and then send it to the Propaganda Department, which will hand it over to the Datang Weekly for distribution to the world, and tell all the people in the world." Li Ke said directly.

"Yes!"

Ministers: "......"

Everyone was silent, if it was announced to the world, presumably the scale of next year's imperial examination would be not small.

After all, many people are allowed to self-recommend.

After the court meeting ended, the news quickly spread throughout Chang'an City at an alarming speed, and even by the time the Datang Weekly was released two days later, the people in Chang'an City basically knew about it.

"It's still His Royal Highness the King of Qin, what His Royal Highness said is too good, nothing can be completely denied, as long as it is for the good of the people, His Royal Highness is willing to carefully verify it."

"Hmph, when the time comes, let's see if these so-called elites are really that powerful."

"We don't know if it's so powerful, naturally there are ministers above the court to judge, but those ministers are also from the family of gate valves."

"That must be from the gate valve family, but His Royal Highness will definitely supervise them, besides, this is not a competition, as long as they are talented, they can make Datang better. Didn't Your Highness say meritocracy? ”

"I just don't know if these people can compare with these people, I think hanging, everyone is elite education, what do we compare, how many years have people been ahead, we only studied for a few years and wanted to catch up with others?"

"It's just that people who think they're great after just a few years of study are too arrogant, and they're just real elites who haven't come out for the exam yet."

"Hey, since Your Highness still holds the imperial examination, does it mean that the officials who are tested by our ordinary people are not good at all, otherwise, why not ban them and use the officials who are tested by ordinary people? Obviously, the ability is not comparable. ”

"You are so boasting about the candidates of these gate valve families, how much money they have given you, if you want me to say, our ordinary people's students are amazing, at least a few years of study can enter the court and become officials, right? Give them more time to learn, and they can definitely do better. We have to have a certain tolerance for them, give them time to develop, and don't be so strict with our own people. ”

"Why don't I be strict with them, that's a major matter in the court, how can it be child's play? As for the disciples of those gate valve families, their ancestors were all officials, and they all saw it, a child who farmed like me would become an official after a few years of school? Then this is too simple, if it is really that simple, why has there been no official from an ordinary family for more than a thousand years? ”

The people of Chang'an City are talking a lot, and there are all kinds of voices.
