What a Great Talent!
Hearing this, Li Daozong couldn't help but look at Chu Wen.
There seemed to be some hesitation in his eyes.
It wasn't that he looked down on Chu Wen, but because he was thinking about the important matters of the imperial court. Ordinary people had never come into contact with it, so what could they do?
How can we talk about solving problems?
Although he thought so, he still decided to tell the truth.
Just treat it as giving face to her son-in-law.
He sighed.
Li Daozong said," The world is stable now, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. However, after all, it has been through war and chaos. There are still many things to be done. Now, His Majesty wanted to recruit all the wise men in the world, but he had no good way.”
He frowned even more and continued,
"Since it is to recruit talents, His Majesty also believes that although the previous dynasty was fatuous and unreasonable, the imperial examination is indeed not bad. And I am the Minister of Rites, so His Majesty entrusted this matter to me and asked me to come up with the rules and regulations as soon as possible.”
Chu Wen was puzzled.
Since they were selected according to the imperial examinations of the previous dynasty, then they would do as they were told.
What was there to worry about?
As a result, he wandered around here and disturbed others.
Could it be intentional?
He cleared his throat and voiced his doubts.
"Since Your Majesty believes that the imperial examinations of the previous dynasty are not bad, then let's follow the regulations of the previous dynasty? His father-in-law was troubled. Could it be that the palace did not have the contents of the previous dynasty's regulations?”
He only wanted Li Daozong to leave quickly so that he could continue to improve his relationship with Li Xue Yan.
Every time I'm in love, you come and hang around. It's really annoying.
However, Li Daozong was his father-in-law after all. No matter what, he still had to pay attention to his tone and attitude.
Li Daozong shook his head with a bitter expression.
"No, no. There are rules for the imperial examination, but you don't know that there are many loopholes in the rules of the previous dynasty. It was often monopolized by the people of the noble families. As for this old man, I want to change it a little and strive for fairness and justice so that the poor scholars of the world can enter the court as officials. This way, I won't let down His Majesty's trust.”
He had been training for a long time and had suffered a lot.
"Unfortunately, after thinking for a few days, I didn't make any progress. That's why I'm frowning."
Chu Wen was enlightened when he heard that.
He did not expect that his father-in-law was a good official.
Although his mind was still filled with loyalty to the emperor, it was already considered a great improvement to be able to think of the poor scholars in the world.
This heart was worthy of praise.
Then, he double-clicked 666.
Then, he had a thought.
If they wanted to be fair and just, it was quite simple to let the poor become officials.
He thought of Zhang Juzheng, who had once dominated the court in the Ming Dynasty. He had risen from a poor family to the prime minister of the current dynasty. Even the emperor was at his mercy.
Zhang Juzheng was able to reach the peak step by step because of the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty.
If the drawbacks of the eight-part essay were changed, there would still be great prospects.
At least, it was fair.
If he could, he could. If he couldn't, he couldn't.
It was impossible for it to be monopolized by the wealthy families.
Therefore, he rolled his eyes and said.
"So father-in-law is worried about this. I don't think it's difficult.”
Li Daozong's expression turned slightly ugly.
She was quite dissatisfied with Chu Wen in her heart.
If it wasn't difficult, why would this old man think for so long and not break through?
After all, he was still a young man who liked to boast.
Although he thought so in his heart, he still pretended to ask,"I wonder if you have any good ideas?”
In fact, he did not expect Chu Wen to come up with any good ideas.
Chu Wen looked at his father-in-law's expression and knew that he was being looked down upon.
Heh, still looking down on people.
You can't play like this.
At the side, Li Xue Yan saw this and could not help but secretly pull Chu Wen's sleeve.
"Husband…" she whispered.
Obviously, he was siding with the outsiders.
Li Daozong glanced at her and quickly looked away.
Chu Wen smiled at Li Xue Yan, giving her a reassuring expression.
Then, he said in a clear voice,"I have an immature idea. I've said it. Please don't laugh at me."”
"I'm willing to hear the details."
Li Daozong could not help but smile faintly.
This virtuous son-in-law had quite a good attitude.
"Since we are going to take care of the poor scholars, then as the saying goes, the nine-storied platform starts from the ground. We must start from the lowest level…" Chu Wen said.
Li Daozong's expression changed slightly.
He couldn't help but glance at Chu Wen.
Hearing this, he had some insight.
Let's see how he continues.
At this moment, Chu Wen's voice continued.
"My son-in-law suggests that the imperial examinations can be divided into the academy examination, the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace examination.”
Li Daozong was even more curious.
In such a short period of time, he had actually thought it through so thoroughly?
He couldn't help but focus and continue listening to Chu Wen.
In fact, Chu Wen had mainly used his photographic memory to recount all the content regarding the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life.
The first round was the academy examination. There was a small test before the academy examination. Examinees who passed the county and provincial examinations were called "children". After that, they would participate in the examinations of the local academies. If they passed the examinations, they would be called "students", commonly known as "scholars" or "husbands". A scholar was qualified to take part in the provincial examination.
The second round was the provincial examination. The provincial examination was held once every three years and was presided over by the chief examiner sent by the emperor. The provincial examination was held in autumn, and this year was called the year of the competition. Those who won the provincial examination were called Juren, and the first place was called Jieyuan.
The third stage was the general exams. In the second year of the provincial examination, a general examination was held in the capital. Only the candidates were qualified to participate. The general exams were held in the spring. Those who passed the exams were called "Gongsheng" and the first place was called "Huiyuan".
The last round was the court examinations. The palace examinations were all attended by the Gongshi, and the emperor personally presided over the examinations. The court examinations were divided into three categories, and those who passed were all Jinshi. The first place was called the "Top Scholar", the second place was called the "Second Place", and the third place was called "Tanhua", collectively known as the "Three Tripod Armor". A number of second-grade students were given the title of "Jinshi origin", and a number of third-grade students were given the title of "Tongjinshi origin".
In addition, the township and the general examination will take three rounds. The quality of the first essay was the deciding factor for admission.
In general, it could be said that the possibility of under-the-table operations was completely avoided.
He talked non-stop, and his words were clear and logical.
Li Daozong nodded repeatedly.
A strange look appeared in his eyes.
This son-in-law was really not bad.
Not only did he explain the method of selecting scholars in a very short period of time.
Furthermore, all sorts of measures were taken to eliminate the possibility of fraud.
What surprised him the most was that Chu Wen had used the exam from his previous life as a reference. He had used the numbering method to further eliminate the possibility of the examiners helping him cheat.
"This method is clear and the process is rigorous. There are actually not many flaws. It's really rare!”
Li Daozong was enlightened.
He couldn't help but praise loudly,"What a talented son-in-law!"”
