The imperial edict to "return the government" that the ministers of the DPRK expected did not arrive as expected. Instead, the imperial edict to observe the political system was issued to the world.
Those who passed the imperial examination in the second year of Tiansheng's reign were no longer awarded directly. Instead, Liu Neiquan made an appointment and assigned the new academic scholars to various positions to observe the government.
There is no doubt that the implementation of the Guanzheng system broke the inherent system of the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, the speed at which the government-monitoring system was proposed and implemented was far beyond the imagination of others.
According to past standards, if a new system is to be implemented, it cannot be passed without discussion for one or two years.
However, Li Jie really couldn't stand this kind of inefficient behavior.
What the Song Dynasty needs most now is to reduce costs and increase efficiency!
Redundant officials are already beginning to appear.
If certain hidden rules continue to be retained, administrative efficiency will only become lower and lower.
Lu Mansion.
After attending the dinner in the palace, Lu Yijian returned to the mansion full of thoughts.
The sudden announcement that Jinshi would observe government affairs undoubtedly made him very discouraged.
But, still the same sentence.
What can he do in the face of such powerful officials?
Should I resign directly?
That is impossible.
Therefore, he had to obey.
Today, Lu Yijian is increasingly unable to understand the official's thoughts.
Why are officials so eager to let Jinshi observe government affairs?
In his opinion, this is completely unnecessary.
In other words, there is no need to be so anxious.
There is currently no consensus within and outside the country on whether Jinshi need to observe government affairs.
The world is not a world of one family and one surname.
Aren't officials afraid of chilling the hearts of the world's scholars?
In fact, it's not surprising that Lu Yijian couldn't understand it. From different angles, he came to different conclusions.
In Li Jie's view, scholar-bureaucrats are not the foundation of national rule, although government decrees ultimately need to be implemented by scholar-bureaucrats.
But the key to the continuation of the dynasty is not the scholar-bureaucrats, but the people, the real people.
It is not the ‘people’ in the scholar-bureaucrat’s talk.
The people mentioned by the scholar-officials did not refer to the common people, but the scholar-officials themselves.
Therefore, although Li Jie cared about the scholar-bureaucrat class, he only cared about it to that extent.
Not only that, Li Jie directly promoted the idea of Jinshi observing politics for the purpose of conducting an experiment.
He wanted to see the monsters and monsters lurking beneath the pus.
The best thing would be for these monsters to jump out on their own initiative.
The Chairman once said, clean the house before treating guests.
Internal stability is a very necessary thing.
If there is internal instability, no matter how strong the country is, it will eventually be unable to escape the fate of decline.
The fifth day of the first lunar month.
The list of provincial examination officials has been officially released. Hanlin scholar Lu Zongdao Quan Zhigongju, Zhizhi Gao Song Shou, Chen Yaozuo, and Ancestral Department Lang Zhongzhang Dexiang Tongzhigongju.
As soon as this list came out, people with a keen sense of smell immediately smelled something different.
As early as Zhenzong's reign, Lu Zongdao advocated the imperial examination as well as policy theory. Even now, Lu Zongdao still thinks so.
Officials named Lu Zongdao as the tribute official. It is obvious that the restructuring issue that Kou Zhun has been promoting is likely to become a reality.
Even though the imperial court has not clarified the new standards for recruiting scholars, there is no doubt that the small flame of reform has been burning.
The inner east gate of the small hall.
After the list was announced, Li Jie summoned the tribute officials according to past practice.
Among these people, Lu Zongdao once gave lectures to Li Jie, and Song Shou and Chen Yaozuo are now compiling the history of Zhenzong.
Strictly speaking, it is reasonable for the three of them to serve as tribute officials.
Only Zhang Dexiang's appointment is open to question.
First of all, Zhang Dexiang was not a senior civil servant. He had neither the title of senior civil servant nor the title of senior civil servant.
He is just the third division judge.
However, it was Li Jie who called his name in person. Even if Zhang Dexiang was not qualified enough, as long as the emperor appointed him, it would still be in line with the procedures.
"During the Tianxi reign, Scholar Lu once said that Jinshi who tried poems and poems were not good at governing."
"I deeply agree."
"The system of the Tang Dynasty focused exclusively on selecting scholars by giving gifts, so all the scholars in the world were running around between their rivals. This is not beneficial to the country!"
"Therefore, I believe that strategy should be given priority in the imperial examination. However, today's scholars are addicted to flashy and eloquent writings, which is easier, and we need to take a closer look at it."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zongdao immediately bowed his head and shouted, echoing.
"After the Tang dynasty, and at the end of the Five Dynasties, articles focused on the duality of vocal and disease. For the sake of neatness, stories were often plagiarized and sculpted to the best of their ability, which has lost the original meaning of poetry!"
"For example, Yang Yi and Liu Jun have solid knowledge, but in order to make neat and precise dialogues, their writing inevitably becomes vulgar."
"But Han Yu's writings are rarely known."
"I believe that the imperial examination should first test the policy and theory, so as to avoid the chaos of classical Chinese in ancient and modern times and simplify its formula so that it can be asked about its meaning without focusing on memorization."
Here, Lu Zongdao had just finished his speech, and Song Shou immediately followed up.
"I believe that in reading, you can't lose your breadth, nor your expertise."
Obviously, Song Shou had objections to the emphasis on policy theory.
He believes that being specialized and knowledgeable is what a scholar-official should look like.
The written poems seem to be strictly limited within certain rules, but if they want to write new ideas, candidates must read extensively.
If one loses his mastery, it will be difficult for even a talented person to write a stunning poem.
Liu Sanbian is a good example.
When it comes to Ci and Fu alone, Liu Sanbian's writings are probably comparable to those of the great masters of the previous dynasties.
After all, Liu Sanbian's poetry was the first of its kind.
But the same is true for success, and the same is true for failure.
No matter how popular it is in the market, Liu Sanbian's lyrics still don't meet the standards for poetry.
Of course, this does not mean that Liu Yong cannot write Yingzhi poems, but the focus is different.
On the other side, hearing that Song Shou seemed to have something to say, Lu Zongdao immediately retorted.
"If you don't observe history, don't study the classics, and don't read it, how can you evaluate the ups and downs of ancient and modern times?"
"Only by respecting the scriptures and relying on history can we judge what is right!"
Lu Zongdao's argument is not wrong. If Juzi does not have corresponding knowledge reserves, how can he quote scriptures and write convincing policies?
"The words of Scholar Lu are in line with the current situation. I believe that we should first make policies and then write poems."
At this moment, Zhang Dexiang also jumped out and directly supported Lu Zongdao's views.
However, rather than agreeing with Lu Zongdao, it is better to say that he agrees with Li Jie.
After all, it was Li Jie who first proposed the theory of strategic planning.
Since the officials have said so, this year's imperial examination will of course focus on strategy and theory, with poetry as a supplement.
Of course, step by step is also necessary.
If the change is too fast, the scholars will inevitably be at a loss as to what to do. Moreover, five years have passed since the last tribute ceremony.
The emperor's scholars had to wait five years for the tribute examination. If the examination standards changed too quickly, it would inevitably dampen the enthusiasm of the examinees.
