On his first day on duty, Kou Zhun was not in a hurry to implement any policies, and he did not even mention the imperial edict to test Fan Zhongyan.
On the first day, he only did one thing.
Be familiar with the government situation.
There were more than two hundred state capitals in the Song Dynasty, and countless things happened every day. Although Kou Zhun didn't have to do everything personally, it was still necessary to understand a general idea.
Therefore, Kou Zhun was very busy.
Until evening, Kou Zhun summoned the ministers of the two governments together again.
"Everyone, I am here to announce something."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present had mixed reactions.
Especially Wang Qinruo, he felt that his authority had been challenged, but considering Kou Zhun's qualifications, he could not directly take offense.
If we launch a counterattack against Kou Zhun, it will not happen in a day. We need to plan it slowly.
"Your Majesty intends to reopen the manufacturing department."
"This subject is different from the six subjects in Jingde. There are only two subjects. One is the subject of being able to speak out and give advice, and the other is the subject of Jing Xiao Tong Suan and being able to be a teacher."
"Once qualified, the story is still the same as before."
Although there are no restrictions on status in the examination, whether civilians or officials can participate, there are still certain restrictions.
The story of the previous dynasty told by Kou Zhun is like the Zhenzong dynasty system.
Bachelor's degree, two provinces, fifth rank or above in Yushitai, fourth rank or above in Shangshu Province, all have the authority to recommend.
Officials from the imperial court, officials from prefectures and counties, and civilians were all eligible to participate in the examination.
However, there are already appointed officials and transfer envoys, so they cannot directly apply for the election.
When they heard the news about the reopening of the examination system, most people were happy to see it happen.
All the ministers here are qualified to recommend candidates for election.
Although the final review power is not in their hands, the mere right of recommendation is enough to show kindness to others.
However, Wang Qinruo was not in a good mood.
In his view, the official reopening of the manufacturing department was probably for Kou Zhun to regain his position as prime minister.
The history of making subjects has a long history, but starting from the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1008), the imperial court stopped making subjects.
For the scholar-bureaucrats, especially those in the prefecture and county bureaucracy, the suspension of the system department was equivalent to the loss of a quick transfer channel.
But now, as soon as Kou Zhun comes back, the system will be reopened.
There is no doubt that all officials who are qualified to participate in the system will think of Kou Zhun, and even those who are not qualified to participate will do the same.
After all, just because you are not qualified now does not mean you will not be qualified in the future.
"This Jing Xiao Tong Suan can be regarded as a division of law. What kind of subject is it?"
After a while, Wang Qinruo spoke first and asked directly.
"This subject only selects scholars who are proficient in arithmetic. According to His Majesty's wishes, those who pass this subject will eventually be assigned to the three divisions of the Yamen."
As soon as these words came out, even if Wang Qinruo wanted to say something, he could only hold it back.
Kou Zhun has one majesty who wants it and another majesty who wants it, so what else can he do?
Against the sky?
It's simply impossible!
Therefore, Wang Qinruo could only sulk secretly.
Who are the three envoys today?
Fan Yong!
Who is Fan Yong?
The first person to notice Fan Yong was Zhang Yong, who then recommended him to Kou Zhun.
Since then, Fan Yong's official career has been prosperous and he has risen to great heights. At this time, he was already the "planning prime minister" of the Song Dynasty.
Until this moment, Wang Qinruo finally understood why the officials dismissed Zu Shiheng and promoted Fan Yong to the rank of Third Secretary in public.
It turned out that the officials had long planned to let Kou Zhun return to the court.
Everything he had done before was just to pave the way for Kou Zhun.
The funny thing is that he didn't realize it at all. Before, he was still thinking about pushing his own people to the top.
Looking back now, I think it was a joke.
The officials' skills are simply unpredictable.
Thinking of this, Wang Qinruo only felt awe in his heart.
How about forgetting it?
Suddenly, an idea came into Wang Qinruo's mind.
The officials had made so many arrangements in advance to recall Kou Zhun. Obviously, Kou Zhun's return to the court was not an accident.
But it is inevitable!
Kou Zhun may be of great use.
At this time, if you go against Kou Zhun, you will inevitably hit the south wall.
But when he thought about what happened in the morning, Wang Qinruo was very reluctant.
Just forget it?
Why!
The more he thought about it, the more upset Wang Qinruo felt.
For a moment, he couldn't make up his mind.
‘That’s all.’
'Let's keep an eye on it.'
On the other hand, Kou Zhun did not pay attention to Wang Qinruo's small thoughts. To him, Wang Qinruo was nothing.
Although the officials only told him three things, except for the last one, none of them were easy to accomplish.
These alone are enough to keep him busy. How can he have free time to scheming with Wang Qinruo?
After yesterday's talk, Kou Zhun made up his mind.
If Wang Qinruo really doesn't know how to praise others and obstructs the "New Deal", the worst he can do is to directly cite the opponent's book in front of the officials.
There is him without me, there is me without him!
Half a moment.
Seeing that no one spoke anymore, Kou Zhun lightly tapped the table.
"Do you have any other comments or things you don't understand?"
All the ministers looked at each other and were speechless.
"good."
"In that case, the list will be submitted in a few days."
"That's it for today."
After saying that, Kou Zhun stood up from the chair and walked out of the hall without looking back.
Kou Zhun's behavior surprised a series of officials in the north.
This is wrong!
According to Mr. Kou's temperament, shouldn't he invite everyone to the banquet tonight?
Where?
Has Mr. Kou changed his gender?
Regardless of Kou Zhun's thoughts, the rightful owner left, and others followed suit.
That night, the news of the resumption of the system spread among the small circle.
Lu Mansion.
As soon as Lu Yijian returned to his mansion, he immediately summoned Liang Shi.
That's right.
He planned to recommend Liang Shi to participate in the imperial examination.
Liang Shi was his key figure in winning over Ren Zhongzheng, especially since Ding Wei had lost power now.
According to past practice, when the leader of a certain faction loses power, those who are dependent on the other party will most likely be ostracized as well.
Ren Zhongzheng has always been friendly with Ding Wei. At this time of turmoil, Ren Zhongzheng may not be able to sit still.
The icing on the cake is never as good as providing help in times of need.
Giving favor to Liang Shi was just a means, and Lu Yijian's real purpose was to send a signal to Ren Zhongzheng.
As for whether Ren Zhongzheng will accept it and give a response, that is not something Lu Yijian can control.
Anyway, he did everything he had to do.
If Ren Zhongzheng really wants to go all the way to the dark side, even if he, Lu Yijian, has the power to reach the sky, he can only look back and sigh.
soon.
Liang Shi is here.
After a while, Liang Shi left again.
However, compared with when he came, Liang Shi walked away feeling dizzy.
Xianggong Lu wants to recommend him to participate in the system training course!
Although the admission rate of the engineering major is very low, Liang Shi has followed his father and brother as role models since he was a child.
His father and brother were both number one scholars, so of course he couldn't fall out of the family.
Before that, he had never participated in the tribute examination, not because he felt he would fail the exam, but because he felt he was not sure of winning the championship in one fell swoop.
