The next day, there will be a court meeting.
There were not many people participating in the small court meeting, so Fu Xiaoguan set up the meeting hall in the political affairs hall.
He hasn't arrived yet, but dozens of officials have already arrived.
"...You don't know how delicious that pork tastes! Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Nangong Yiyu stroked his long beard and smashed his mouth, still thinking about it.
"This meat is very different from mutton. It does not have the mutton smell, is very easy to cook, and can be cooked in various ways. In short, from now on, the fragrant pig No. 1... This is a gift from your majesty With that pig’s name, after this fragrant pig No. 1 is launched, I’m afraid you won’t be able to live without it.”
The six ministers nodded in agreement, and the rest of the ministers and ministers were dumbfounded - they knew that His Majesty entertained these officials with pork last night, but they did not expect that these officials were accustomed to delicacies from the mountains and seas. They actually praised the pork!
Wen Canghai, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, was puzzled. He bowed his hand to Nangong Yiyu and asked curiously: "Do you really mean what you say?"
"I have lived for most of my life, when have I ever said anything false?" After saying this, he suddenly whispered to Wen Canghai in a low voice: "Your father, Wen Xingzhou, I have a close relationship with Your Majesty. I tell you. , and now there are only eighteen pigs left in the Ministry of Industry!”
Wen Canghai was startled and understood instantly. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Sir!"
There are only eighteen pigs. If you start too slowly, you may not be able to get a bite!
It will take at least another half a year to wait until Xiangzhu No. 1 is raised again.
Wen Canghai decided to talk to his father after going to court. The Wen family may seem glamorous, but you only know the hardships!
To put it simply, there are two words: no money!
It is said that he is from a scholarly family, but the brothers are all in Qingshui Yamen. Wen Xingzhou is said to be a great scholar in the dynasty, but the great scholar is a famous scholar, and the court does not pay a penny in salary.
So much so that the four generations of the Wen family are still crowded in the same courtyard.
The second brother Wen Xiuzhong was once in the political affairs hall, and now he was reorganized into the Menxia Province. It is the most amazing department, but the second brother was only a sixth-grade city gate man in Menxia Province, that is, a supervisor. The key to the city gate.
The third brother Wen Xingzhao used to be in charge of the ceremonial department, but now His Majesty has replaced all the people in the ceremonial department with eunuchs. The third brother was transferred to Zhongshu Province and became the chief secretary of the seventh rank.
Neither of them has any power, and naturally there is no extra income, so their life is miserable.
Don’t talk about eating mutton, just pork. That unpalatable pork can only be eaten two or three times a month.
Speaking of which, the Hanlin Academy was in charge of the imperial examinations of the Wu Dynasty, but the imperial examinations of the Wu Dynasty were learned from the Yu Dynasty, and it was my father's vigorous promotion that gradually established this imperial examination system.
However, the selection of talents in the Wu Dynasty was mostly based on the recommendation of the gentry. Except for the most famous Lishan Academy in the Wu Dynasty, there were only a few from other states in the huge Wu Dynasty who could truly stand out through the scientific examination.
It's not that there are no talented people who study, but that almost all of these talented people come from noble families.
Studying is very expensive. If your family is not well-off, how can you read many books, and how can you get the recommendation of the noble family.
There is no noble son from a poor family. This saying was absolutely true in the Wu Dynasty!
So the scientific examinations held by the Hanlin Academy every year are more of just a formality.
Wen Canghai has written many times about this shortcoming, but has not received any reply from His Majesty.
As time passed, he didn't bother to mention it anymore.
While the ministers were whispering, Fu Xiaoguan walked in wearing casual clothes.
——As for the issue of His Majesty’s attire, the Minister of Rites was too lazy to mention it any more.
Don't say that such a court meeting is a great court meeting. His Majesty rarely wears dragon robes anymore.
He said... It's very troublesome to put on and take off. Now that the weather is so hot, it's even hotter when it's on!
Not as comfortable as this linen!
Well, like father, like son... This is wrong. Emperor Wen was very particular about etiquette and rules. There was only Emperor Wu, but Emperor Wu was not His Majesty's real father!
The issue of Your Majesty’s identity is unclear.
You can say that his father was Emperor Wen, and he also conferred the title of Supreme Emperor on Emperor Wu.
You said Emperor Wu was his father, and he worshiped Emperor Wen in a decent manner.
Xiao Yulou, who was originally stubborn, wanted His Majesty to smooth over the matter, but all his suggestions were ignored. Later, the Minister ordered Master Meng to find him, have a drink, and chat all night. Only then did he finally give up.
All... who is His Majesty's father!
This became an eternal knot in Xiao Yulou's heart.
"I'll say it first."
Fu Xiaoguan stood on the stage and spoke, and the ministers suddenly fell silent, "First, the Bachelor of Arts has written many times and talked about the shortcomings of the current scientific examination. In the past six months, I have basically figured it out. I originally planned to The reform of the scientific examination was scheduled for next year, but now it seems that it must be brought forward because autumn is coming soon. If it is delayed by one year, the future of many students will be delayed. ”
This is a sensitive topic. In fact, Zhuo Yixing, Nangong Yiyu and others are very aware of it, but over the years, it is difficult to count the number of officials recommended by them.
According to the rules, as long as the person they recommend is selected by the court to become an official in the court, this person must belong to the sect of the recommender, and the recommender will be praised as a benefactor.
In other words, there is a subordinate relationship between the recommender and the recommended person, and the future interests of the two will be related to this and they will share weal and woe.
Just like in the current dynasty, there are still many officials recommended by the Chen family, Lu family and other big clans in the past, and there are even some people who have reached the third rank of officialdom.
Can this be cut off with one knife?
Obviously not.
If the investigation continues, everyone from the second-grade official to the seventh-grade county magistrate will be involved.
Fu Xiaoguan also understood this truth, so he did not make the cut before he ascended the throne. He even had to reuse these officials, otherwise, he would become unavailable.
So today he raised this sensitive issue, what is his plan?
Except for Wen Canghai, who was extremely happy, everyone else was a little uneasy.
Even Zhuo Yixing and Nangong Yiyu were worried that the young emperor was using too much medicine.
"I will let go of everything that happened before this year." He used "I", which was a very formal way to tell these ministers.
"The imperial examination is the foundation for a country to select scholars. The original intention of the imperial examination is to recommend talents in any way. I believe that this policy of recommendation does not meet the needs of the development of the Wu Dynasty. Therefore, I have decided to abolish the policy of recommendation and all Students must pass the scientific examination to become officials."
It was silent here.
Only Fu Xiaoguan's voice echoed sonorously in the hall: "This is a national policy! I appoint Academician Wen Canghai as the examiner for this autumn, and give the emperor a sword and a goldfish pendant! Academician Wen Canghai needs to lead the Hanlin Academy to rebuild the Three Kingdoms Level scientific examination system ”
