The corner of Yang Chen's mouth curled up slightly," The current imperial examinations are quite beneficial to the commoners, but there are still some drawbacks."
"Disadvantages?" Wu Ling pondered.
"The imperial examinations may seem fair, but in reality, there is a lot of room for manipulation for the great clans." Yang Chen spoke with assurance," During the imperial examinations, the examinees will write down their hometown information on the paper. When the examiners are marking the papers, they will be able to see all the information of the examinees at a glance. It is not difficult for the children of the aristocratic families to be selected…"
Wu Ling's pretty face turned slightly cold. It wasn't that she didn't know that such a thing had happened. It was just that since the establishment of the imperial examination system, it had always been like this. There hadn't been much change.
"What does Yang Qing's family plan to do?”
Since Yang Chen had brought it up, there must be a solution.
"I think that we can paste the names of the examinees 'test papers on paper and hide all the information. This way, those who want to bend the law for personal gain will have no way to start…" Yang Chen said with a smile.
Wu Ling's heart jolted and she suddenly understood. She could not help but lean forward." What else?”
Yang Chen smacked his lips. The empress was at the most attractive age for women. She was in her prime and had the air of a mature mature lady. Wu Ling's figure was also quite plump. Her full body pushed up her clothes. When she leaned forward, her chest was leaning against the table, forming a perfect arc.
Yang Chen coughed lightly and muttered,""Other than marking their names, we will send people to number these people's papers. After which, we will transcribe their contents onto another piece of paper. Finally, we will send these transcribed papers to the examiner for review. This way, we will be able to prevent cheating to the greatest extent…"
Wu Ling's eyes rippled with splendor. She was shocked by Yang Chen's wonderful idea.
She could imagine that with the measures Yang Chen had proposed, it would be enough to ensure the greatest fairness in the imperial examinations.
Wu Ling was very clear about the importance of the imperial examinations.
Only more talents could help her manage this country better.
Her fair face revealed a trace of inquiry.
"Does Yang Qing's family have any other suggestions?”
Yang Chen smiled,"Of course there is."
Since he wanted to propose the reform of the imperial examination, he would finish it all in one go.
"Other than eliminating cheating measures, we can also add a court examination to the imperial examination…"
"Court examinations?" Wu Ling's dark eyes revealed a trace of curiosity.
"The so-called court examination is an examination personally hosted by His Majesty." Yang Chen smiled." Let His Majesty personally check the final results to prevent any fish from escaping the net. The final top scorer will also be personally named by His Majesty."
Wu Ling's eyes lit up.
Previously, she had also wanted to have some ideas about reforming the imperial examination, but she had no reference. It was like a ball of fog, and she could only fumble forward.
And now, the measures that Yang Chen had proposed made her instantly enlightened.
"Other than adding the court examination, we can also set up the martial arts examination!”Yang Chen said meaningfully.
"Martial Arts Examination?" Wu Ling was stunned. She furrowed her brows and a thought flashed in her dark eyes.
Yang Chen's lips curled up." Scholars can pass the imperial examination to become officials, but why can't martial artists pass the military examination to become military officers? With this martial arts examination, the martial arts people of the world would definitely be grateful to His Majesty.”
Wu Ling's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes revealed a contemplative look.
After she ascended the throne, she never forgot that the reason why she could fight her way to the throne was because of the army in her hands.
The reason why the aristocratic families could tolerate a woman becoming the Emperor was because they were afraid of Wu Ling's army. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for Wu Ling to become the Emperor. He could only rely on iron-blooded methods.
As for the people under his rule, it did not matter who was the emperor.
Wu Ling slowly stood up and said in a deep voice,""You are right. Scholars can enter the court through the imperial examination, and martial artists can also become officials of the court through the military examination. This is true fairness.”
Her eyes grew brighter and brighter. Yang Chen's measures and movable type printing were enough to make the great clans gradually lose their advantage. This was an open scheme!
"These are all reforms in the system. This lowly official feels that if we can slightly change the types of subjects in the imperial examination, it would be an extremely good thing.”Yang Chen rubbed his chin.
"The subjects of the imperial examination?" Wu Ling asked doubtfully.
Yang Chen smiled." For example, remove some useless topics such as poems and songs and replace them with questions such as historical theory and policy questions. The officials selected by the imperial examination must be able to do practical things and not only know how to sing praises…"
Wu Ling nodded in agreement.
"Other than these, we can also recruit more types of talents, such as mathematics. We should divide them into more types and not just one type. Of course, this requires a complete plan and detailed planning.”Yang Chen said in one breath.
Wu Ling praised,"Other than being in the limelight, you're still thinking about the country. It's really rare…"
Yang Chen was speechless.
Wu Ling also reacted. Oh no, why did he say what was in his heart?
Yang Chen's mouth twitched. He understood what Wu Ling was referring to.
"Your Majesty, I'm innocent. If it wasn't for someone provoking me, I wouldn't have attacked. I just want to be a quiet and handsome man.”
Wu Ling's lips could not help but curl up." A quiet handsome man? Everywhere you go, there are piles of trouble. When has it ever been quiet?”
"Uh, does that mean that Your Majesty also thinks that I'm a handsome man?”Yang Chen said with a smile.
Shangguan Wan 'er, who was standing at the side, thought to herself. The angle was tricky.
Wu Ling was startled. He then walked over leisurely with his hands behind his back.
She stood in front of Yang Chen and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile." You're quite pretty…"
Yang Chen was speechless.
"No wonder those young ladies would throw scented sachets at you," Wu Ling said faintly.”
Yang Chen smacked his lips. Why did he smell jealousy?
