Didn’t this person doze off when he was in court? Which one was performed today?
Her sudden movement was not only the ministers, but even Xiao Li was a little surprised and raised his hand to signal her to continue.
Su Jin'er took out a memorial from her sleeve, bowed to the courtesy of the king and the ministers, and said calmly: "Emperor, the imperial examination is imminent, and the candidates all came to Kyoto. Logically speaking, the imperial examination was the best time to select talents for the Qin Dynasty. My daughter went to Juxian Building yesterday and accidentally discovered many disadvantages. She was deeply worried."
"Miss Jin, what do you mean?"
As a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, Kong Keyan was responsible for this examination. Juxianlou was even under his management. He immediately stopped hearing her report. When Juxianlou had any problems, it was obvious that he told the emperor and his ministers that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities. Only by coming forward to clarify in time can he avoid misunderstandings.
As soon as Su Jiner finished speaking, he was the first to stand up with a tense face and said: "As we all know, every candidate who goes to Beijing will move into Juxian Building. This is a common practice. Juxian Building collects the essence of the world's books and is the best place for students to prepare for the exam. There are countless good materials who have passed the exam. The court is polite, and during the preparation period, the candidates' basic food, clothing, housing and transportation are subsidized. As soon as Miss Jin opens her mouth, she talks about many disadvantages, and please come one by one to convince me."
"Mr. Kong, don't be excited. The environment in Juxianlou is excellent in all aspects. However, this is not what makes me worry about."
Su Jin'er turned his face and nodded and smiled at Kong Keyan, indicating that he had no malice. Then he turned around and looked forward and continued: "After yesterday, Jin'er felt a lot. Since the imperial examination was a selection exam, he should be fair and fair. All previous imperial examinations have restricted the origin of candidates, which not only caused the 'high-ranking no poor family, and the lowest-ranking no aristocratic family', but also buried more talents. This is a great regret. The emperor, the minister believes that the imperial examination system of our dynasty needs to be improved, and the number of places in the imperial examination should be determined by real learning to decide the candidates to become a student."
When she finished speaking, she was shocked by the ministers in the palace.
What? Reform the imperial examination?
The current imperial examination system has been passed down for hundreds of years since the previous dynasty. How can it be changed at will!
After hitting Su Jin'er, he immediately caused a shocking wave of refusal. The veto sounds of refusal in the hall were one after another. The ministers expressed their opinions, and they all expressed their emotions in the list. There were those who agreed, but there were obviously more people who vetoed it.
For a moment, saliva flew everywhere and the first round of morning war of verbal war began.
"Your Majesty, poor students are generally limited by family conditions, and their qualifications are often not necessarily better. They are far from being as good as those of the aristocratic students who have had specialized teachings in all aspects of etiquette, poetry and calligraphy since childhood. I think this suggestion is inappropriate!"
"What Lord Wang said is that civilians and gentry are not in the same class. If the system is really changed, it will not only increase the pressure on the court, but also attract dissatisfaction from gentry in various places, and I also disagree!"
"I think that when Miss Zhao Jin said that no matter whether she is born or poor, she can participate in the imperial examination, it has greatly expanded the foundation for the selection of talents for the court. Don't... I think about it carefully, it's not a bad thing."
"Nothing! The big things in the world are not something that children play houses. The imperial examination has been passed down to this day, and it has its own principles. It is too unreasonable to change it by the words of a woman."
"Your Excellency, you are too extreme, I think..."
The disputes below were endless. Xiao Li sat lazily on the dragon chaise, habitually allowing these ministers to bargain at the vegetable market and squatted each other. It was rare that he had the patience to not throw the jade seal.
Among the court officials, the Grand Secretary Kong Keyan responded the most because he was in charge of the Hanlin Academy for many years and was from a wealthy family. What's more, the quota that passed the imperial examination was usually arranged to be an official in the Hanlin Academy. Of course, he would not agree with Su Jiner's proposal. Whenever a colleague in the hall made a voice of approval, he immediately rejected it like he was injected with chicken blood, and he kept indignation.
"Can you listen to me?"
The court officials' opposition was completely expected, but a few voices of approval were heard, which made Su Jiner calm down a little. When the debate became less, he said helplessly: "I haven't finished it just now, and some adults also said that civilians and gentry are not in the same class, but it is precisely this serious class division that has become the biggest cause of the disadvantages of the imperial examination. The emperor and the minister's advice is not only to relax the qualifications for the examination, but to allow middle and lower-level students to have
Opportunities flow to the upper level through the scientific examination. This move not only can find more good materials for the court, but also inspire students all over the world to study hard and strive for progress. Moreover, as far as I know, there are three imperial examinations in our dynasty, namely the provincial examinations of the provincial examinations. In the past, even if ordinary civilians passed the provincial examinations of the provincial examinations, they could not participate in the final Beijing examination without a letter of recommendation. The imperial examinations were presided over by the Hanlin Academy. After the last examination, they could be sealed into the dynasty. This——”
Her speech was neither fast nor slow, and even Prime Minister Su couldn't help but frown and interrupted: "The three imperial examinations are common sense, can you tell the key points?"
Well, Su Dad is also an impatient person. He doesn’t know how to use any title to his daughter. If others don’t think so, he will feel awkward.
Yuwen Shu hummed from his nostrils, looked up at Su Lin beside him, and whispered in a tentative and joking manner: "Mr. Su, it is not easy to reform the imperial examination. Haven't Jin'er mentioned to you that your father is not aware of it?"
Su Xiangye pulled the corner of his mouth, sighed pretendingly, and said in a few words: "Jin'er has always had his own opinions, so how could he tell me everything? Alas, it's hard to take care of my daughter when she is old."
Yuwen Shu raised his eyelids, staring at the front without seeing any emotion, and ignored him.
When she heard her talk to the Hanlin Academy, Kong Keyan stepped forward with anger and said, "Although the Hanlin Academy is presided over by the Hanlin Academy, the chief examiners of each session are elected by the ministers, and it is not limited to the Hanlin Academy. Miss Jin has been emphasizing the Hanlin Academy, but what prejudice do you have against me?"
Su Jiner didn't know that the two old guys had passed by secretly, and was choked up by the words of Mr. Su and Grand Secretary Kong, and then she happily entered the topic: "Master Kong misunderstood. You and I know each other very little, so how can I have prejudices? The reason why I emphasize being able to test is just because I have an idea in my heart."
The reform of the imperial examination was very involved. Not only was it mentioned before, but it was rejected by all ministers. Therefore, Taifu Lin has been calmly staying in a wait-and-see state without speaking. But when he heard Su Jiner's last sentence, the previous flood control outline was there, and the Taifu, who had not intended to interfere, also became interested.
In addition, he had a good impression of this little girl and pondered, "What are Miss Jin's ideas? Let's hear it?"
The old ministers who were chatting about gossiping behind him stopped one after another while everyone was arguing fiercely.
"About this idea, I will ask the emperor to decide in the end."
Su Jiner paused, looked at the emperor's gaze and sang: "My daughter suggested that the palace examination be added to the scientific examination. The top ten candidates who passed the examination must go through the last palace examination presided over by the emperor. The palace examination is held in the palace and the ranking is also determined by the emperor. Anyone who passes the palace examination is the disciple of the emperor so that the emperor can reuse it in the future."
After saying that, no matter how shocked the ministers, he continued to say: "Then the rules of the exam need to be further improved. I believe everyone knows that the phenomenon of previous candidates cheating and asking someone to take exams on their behalf has been repeatedly banned. In order to prevent cheating and bribery, the minister suggested that after each examiner was appointed, he would go to the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy and not be able to communicate with the outside world, which is called the Lock Institute. When candidates enter the examination, they must take the seats in the same way as the examiner is not allowed to leave. The examination papers are specially organized by the emperor and sent people to the name and transcription, and many people will review the papers. Finally, the list of the examinations will be evaluated and entered the last round of palace examinations."
What a disciple of the emperor!
Looking at this court, except for the few old ministers they had and the swaying fence-bearing man Su, most of them were Yuwen Shu's confidants.
Isn’t the emperor’s most lacking manpower now?
If the imperial examination system is successfully reformed, and this group of new blood will be cultivated, it will be a close minister of the emperor. At that time, the Yuwen faction, who holds the military power of the Qin Dynasty, will have another chance of winning!
Before she could finish her words, the tutor Lin clarified the pros and cons. His eyes lit up, and his beard rose up with excitement. He swept his official uniform and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister's proposals are attached. Miss Jin's previous proposals can indeed eliminate the hidden dangers that have always existed in the scientific expedition. Since we are serving our Qin Dynasty, we should be screened strictly in this way. The old minister deeply believes that the scientific expedition reform is feasible!"
What Taifu Lin could have imagined was that His Majesty the Emperor and the people present in the palace could not have imagined it, but it prevented the interests of some officials and more people came out to refute.
Xiao Li had a conclusion in his heart. He glanced at the lower part with a cold look. The palace immediately became quiet. Many people looked at the emperor who made the final decision with nervousness, hoping that he would be foolish again and reject Su Jiner's proposal last time.
However, they are destined to be disappointed-
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Su Jiner without any objection, and did not mention the reform directly. Instead, he asked with disgust: "It's too troublesome to copy a name, so there's nothing simple?"
The ministers who had been waiting for him to speak were absolutely lost.
Your Majesty, where is this?
Su Jin'er knew that he would be able to ask this, but when she heard his question, she couldn't help but suck her eyes. She thought about it and said: "Back to the emperor, there are also simple ones. You can bind the head of the test paper with the candidate's name and identity, so that the judges can't see the candidate's information, which is the most time-saving and labor-consuming."
Xiao Li's heart moved and was about to speak up and report it, Yuwen Shu suddenly stepped out of the line, and pulled everyone's eyes away in one sentence-
"Your Majesty, some people agree with Miss Jin's proposal, and some people object. According to my opinion, to be fair, it is better to let everyone make a decision by voting."
