at this time.

The doctor censor next to him had bright eyes.

The imperial examination system is the way to select officials for the prince, right?

"Prince, can you elaborate?"

"Can!"

Xia Tian explained seriously: "As the name suggests, it is to select the world's talents through the imperial examination, and to select people from different majors to serve in various ministries of the imperial court through examinations divided into subjects!"

"This exam is not only a test of reading and writing, not only a test of reading and writing, but also a test of professional ability. Official positions are awarded based on ability!"

"Those with great ability are great officials!"

"Those with little ability are petty officials!"

The third prince probably understands!

"Brother Ninth King..."

"presumptuous!"

The imperial censor scolded him with a righteous look: "Third Prince, the person in front of you is His Highness the Crown Prince, please don't disturb your dignity!"

Third Prince: "..."

He glared at the censor doctor angrily!

This guy is so brave!

But when I saw the red official robe of the imperial censor, which looked like blood-stained red, and when I saw that upright face... I thought of the imperial censor's reputation in the court, and then of the Taiwei behind the imperial censor.

Li Jian, the third prince's anger was released for thousands of miles!

In the court, the red-robed censor cannot be offended, and the censor doctor cannot be offended even more!

Therefore, the third prince had no choice but to change his title with a dark face: "Your Highness, although there were big problems in selecting officials using the method of filial piety and integrity in the past, it can really select useful talents!"

"Because of the world's talented people, 70% of them are from major wealthy families!"

"Poor and ordinary people account for 30%!"

"So, it makes sense that filial piety and integrity have been used to select officials for thousands of years!"

"If this method is abandoned because of the rebellion of the wealthy family... I believe that my father will not agree with it either!"

"Agree!"

The second prince and the fifth prince responded in unison, standing on the same front!

The reason is very simple. They usually make friends with noble families, and at the lowest level they are from poor families. They don't make friends with talented people at all!

But Death Laojiu is different!

Shi Laojiu originally had no foundation in the court, let alone any wealthy family in the empire. He was the only prince who mingled with a group of refugees and refugees every day. He naturally hoped to select officials from among the untouchables among the people and select some untouchables to support him.

!

This is absolutely not okay!

The idea of ​​the three princes is very simple. As long as the dead old nine agrees, they will oppose it!

"snort......"

Xia Tian's face turned cold: "Three brothers, you promised Gu... within these three months, you must listen to Gu and work together!"

"good!"

The third prince frowned and said: "But you don't choose officials according to the rules, you want to get those untouchables who admire you to be officials, and you want to uproot our foundation in the court. This is absolutely impossible, and we will never agree!"

"

"Absolutely not!"

The second prince and the fifth prince stood firmly with the third prince.

Xia Tian had already predicted: "Three brothers, do you still want to untie the Yin Hand?"

The momentum of the three princes was released!

Is Death Laojiu threatening them?

Just then.

Outside the East Palace, Eunuch Wei's sharp voice sounded: "Please inform His Majesty the Crown Prince that His Majesty has an order to announce that the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Imperial Censor will come to the palace to have an audience!"

"yes!"

Half an hour later.

In the imperial palace, the royal study room.

Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian and Taiwei Li Jian were also announced, and everyone stood silently in front of the emperor's desk!

Emperor Xia sat on the chair and said with great interest: "After experiencing this rebellion of a wealthy family, I really feel that there is a big problem with selecting officials by promoting filial piety and integrity!"

"Prince, please analyze it!"

"yes!"

Xia Tian said seriously: "First of all, the biggest problem with allowing wealthy families to recommend officials is that it cuts off the way for ambitious and talented people in the empire to serve the country!"

"Wealthy families have always had a principle when recommending officials for their own benefit, that is, they will never recommend outsiders as officials!"

"Even if they have no one to recommend and can only recommend a fool to be an official, then they will recommend a fool to be an official, and they will never give up the official position to others, and they will never give up the benefits to others!"

"Over time, the abilities of imperial officials began to vary greatly!"

"Those officials who have been recommended but are incompetent will be fine if they just hang around all day long. But if they take action to handle government affairs, not only will they not be able to handle government affairs well, they will also make government affairs more chaotic!"

"This is especially true for local officials. If those incompetent local officials are really messing around, it will be fine, but if they are messing around, then the local people will have a hard time, and those who can't live will rebel!"

"yes!"

Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian was deeply moved: "It is indeed so!"

The emperor looked thoughtful: "Then let's talk about your imperial examination system!"

"yes!"

Xia Xia introduced: "For example, if you want to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, if you want to sit in this position, you must first have a pair of discerning eyes. You must be able to recognize people and see the advantages and disadvantages of officials. When using them, you must maximize their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and make full use of their talents!"

"So, if the imperial examination system is used to select officials, in addition to testing their knowledge, loyalty and integrity, the most important thing is to test whether they can recognize people? Can they employ people? Can they control people? Can they formulate policies?

A good way to inspect officials?”

"If it's the Ministry of Punishment, we should focus on whether he understands the law? Can he tell right from wrong? Can he resolve a case? Can the evil people in the empire not dare to do evil? Can he make good people live in peace of mind?"

"The same goes for the selection of officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry!"

"In Erchen's words, let professional people do professional things!"

“Don’t let laymen lead experts!”

"So, only by using the imperial examination system can we select officials suitable for official positions and govern the empire better!"

"In this way, all the talented people in the world will have a fair opportunity to serve the country, so that the official positions in the imperial court will not be controlled by any one family, and the people of the empire will continue to advance!"

Speaking of this, Xia Tian said seriously: "There are many benefits, so I won't go into details one by one. I ask my father to take a closer look!"

Suddenly, the imperial study fell into a reflective silence!

The three princes did not speak out against it rashly!

finally.

"What a great imperial examination system!"

Emperor Xia stood up and looked at Xia Tian with admiration: "With this method of selecting officials, we can ensure that the foundation of the empire is not empty, and we can continuously select talents for the country!"

"What a wonderful method!"

"Prince, you are very good!"

"After you go down, write down the implementation method of the imperial examination system in detail and show it to me!"

"yes!"

"Lao San, you have no objection, right?"

The third prince shook his head: "No!"

"The prince's method is indeed wonderful!"

At this time.

In the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

The members of the Gao family and the Lu family were locked up next door, and they were both crying!

"Stop crying!"

The heads of the two families yelled irritably: "Will you not die if you cry?"

"They're all going to die!"

"Your Majesty will not let us go...never!"

Also at this time.
Chapter completed!
