This was a small achievement that he thought he had done well!
Although this was the system of the previous dynasty, he had wisely preserved it. Wasn't this also a wise ruler's strategy?
"Hehe, I really don't think much of the current imperial examinations. Tell me, after the imperial examinations of each realm, how many of those who are hired by the imperial court are commoner?”
"This…"
"There's no need for that. If I'm not wrong, there's not a single one. In fact, His Majesty did not even know what he had hired.”
“...”
Lin Feng's words were really right.
Li Shimin only knew the names of the people who passed the imperial examinations every year.
He really didn't know what it was exactly.
"Then according to what you said, are there still loopholes in the current imperial examinations?”
Li Shi Min frowned as he stared at Lin Feng.
Actually, he felt that the imperial examinations were already pretty good!
After all, this was a project that no one had ever done before. They were just feeling their way across the river.
It was already not bad to be able to do this.
"There are no loopholes."
"Ah?"
"Other than a name, there's nothing else. How can you say that there's a loophole?”
"I..."
It seems that the hard work of me and a group of ministers is all for naught in your eyes!
"Then tell me, what are the drawbacks of this imperial examination! Is there any way to improve it? If you can't say it, then you're just making empty promises!”
"I'll come up with ideas, and you'll come up with ideas. If the imperial court hires them, we'll split the reward seventy-seventy! How is it?"
"I'll f * cking give it all to you. You brat, are you greedy for money?”
Zhangsun Wugou glanced at Li Shimin, who was blushing from Lin Feng's words. He smiled and reminded him.
"Watch your words. Don't always say dirty words!”
After hearing Zhangsun Wugou's words, Lin Feng and Li Shiming finally recalled that there was an old Madam Li sitting beside them.
Instantly, the voices of the two of them became much quieter.
"Listen up, first point. The imperial examinations now required the recommendation of a noble! It seemed that only people above the fifth rank were qualified to recommend people to participate in the imperial examination! Tell me, can a person who can get along with a fifth-grade official be considered an ordinary family? At least, I don't know any of them.”
"This, seems to be the case!"
"Be more confident, this is it. Secondly, not all of the officials were from the aristocratic families, but at least 90% of them were from the aristocratic families. The original official positions and power are in their hands. If we, unrelated people, want to get a share of the pie, isn't it equivalent to snatching food from the tiger's mouth? Would they allow it? Therefore, even if they had a bachelor's degree and were recommended by dignitaries, they would probably be marked as a member of a certain aristocratic family or party from the beginning.”
"Third point: His Majesty is right to support the imperial examination, but he is very irresponsible about it. These people were all working for him, but he didn't even know what he had recruited! Tell me, if His Majesty is so perfunctory, will the people below do it seriously?”
"Fourth, why are only scholars qualified for the imperial examinations? The martial artist? The martial arts skills he learned were sold to the emperor's family! The world was peaceful, and the world was stable! Don't forget, the bigger the fist, the better. How can we lose sight of one?"
"Fifth, the questions are too simple! They were always tested on red tape and poetry. This thing looked elegant, but in fact, it was just that. Many scholars couldn't tell the five grains from the four seasons at the end of their studies! This kind of person, even if he had great literary talent, could he govern a region? A capable person might not necessarily know how to recite poems. The reverse is also the same."
" Sixth: ..."
...
As they listened to Lin Feng listing out the flaws of the imperial examinations, the expressions of Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wugou turned golden.
Li Shi Min didn't expect that the achievements he was so proud of.
It was actually so unbearable.
As for Zhangsun Wugou, he sighed in admiration at how meticulous Lin Feng's thoughts were.
Although this person looked young, his words were vulgar.
However, it was clear and logical.
Especially when he said that he had learned martial arts and sold it to the emperor's family.
This sentence revealed the true meaning of the imperial examination.
It would be a pity if such a strange person was buried in the city!
"How is it? Do you still think that I'll have a chance if I participate in the imperial examination?”
...
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Li Shi Min didn't know how to reply.
He really wanted to retort, but he didn't know how to start.
'Is the imperial examination that I organized really so unbearable?'
The more Li Shi Min thought about it, the gloomier his heart became.
He felt that he had suffered a huge blow.
"Lil Feng, is this imperial examination really so unbearable? Was everything His Majesty had done useless?”
In the end, Li Shimin asked again.
He had to admit that he had been dealt a blow by Lin Feng.
"It's not as bad as you say. The imperial examination was a pioneering work that created an era. It could be said that His Majesty had great foresight and courage to use it. This thing dared to break the secular world and break the inherent division of interests. It was not something that could be done overnight. It can only be said that we were born at the wrong time.”
This was the first time! This is the first time you've praised me!
When Li Shi Min heard Lin Feng's last sentence, he felt an indescribable agitation in his heart.
Usually, the ministers would praise His Majesty dozens of times a day! His Majesty's merit was in the future.
Even when he heard it, it wasn't as realistic as Lin Feng's words of foresight and boldness!
At this moment, Li Shi Min felt that he could do it again!
