Wei Zheng, who had thought that the imperial examination system was perfect enough, realized that there were so many flaws in it!
Wei Zheng knew that Li Chengqian was not exaggerating. As long as he carefully considered the flaws that Li Chengqian mentioned, it was indeed as he said.
This also made Wei Zheng fall into deep thought, and he was a little bewitched…
Wu Meiniang, who was standing at the side, hurriedly moved to Li Chengqian's side and reminded him in a low voice.
"Your Highness, be careful with your words…"
There was nothing wrong with evaluating the imperial examination system, but Li Chengqian had just been so excited that he couldn't care less about the fact that the imperial court would be eliminated.
If it was someone else who said this, they would be taken down as a traitor in minutes.
Li Chengqian realized this and nodded to Wu Meiniang beside him, indicating that he understood.
Fortunately, Wei Zheng was shocked by Li Chengqian's shallow views and did not notice anything inappropriate.
Back then, Li Er had continued the imperial examination system of the previous dynasty and had also gathered the ministers to brainstorm and improve the system.
In this regard, Li Er was even proud and said that all the talents in the world would fall into his hands…
At this moment, it seemed that he had said this a little too early…
Even Wei Zheng felt ashamed. He actually didn't see so many flaws.
And the person who said these views was actually a student he taught?
This made Wei Zheng feel even more that he was not worthy of teaching Li Chengqian…
When Wei Zheng came back to his senses, he did not have the time to feel ashamed. Instead, he stared at Li Chengqian in front of him with a burning gaze and made a humble gesture as he spoke.
"Your Highness, please enlighten me. How should the imperial examination system make up for these shortcomings?”
"Do you have any good ideas? I hope that Your Highness will not be stingy with your guidance…"
At this moment, Wei Zheng was really prepared to be a student and lowered his attitude.
This was definitely not something that could be seen on normal days.
Wu Meiniang, who was standing at the side, was stunned!
Even though she had never stepped into the Imperial Court, Wu Meiniang had heard of Wei Zheng.
He was knowledgeable, talented, and iron-willed. He dared to refute anyone and did not put anyone in his eyes, including Li Er...
However, in front of Li Chengqian at this moment, he had the attitude of a student seeking advice from a teacher. It was truly inconceivable.
Seeing Wei Zheng like this, Li Chengqian couldn't refuse. He pondered for two seconds and said.
"It is not that there is no way…"
"It's actually very simple. The Four Books and Five Classics follow the rules and can incorporate more miscellaneous knowledge into the content of the scientific examination!”
"Not only do we have to let the students memorize the scriptures, but we also have to let them give different opinions. We have to truly understand the meaning of what we have learned and apply what we have learned.”
"At the same time, the subject examination questions should also include the actual situation of the current world. The people's livelihood problems encountered in various places should be answered by the students. Only by assessing their talents can we truly determine whether the students have the ability to govern the country!”
......
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Wei Zheng's turbid eyes instantly shot out two rays of light!
He could not help but exclaim.
"Wonderful!"
"Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books…"
At this moment, Wei Zheng suddenly felt that his age had been wasted.
He couldn't think of such a simple and practical method.
Looking at Li Chengqian who was sitting steadily in front of him, Wei Zheng suddenly had an illusion.
If Li Chengqian were to inherit the throne and rule the world, he would definitely be a hero of a generation!
The reason why Wei Zheng had repeatedly refused to teach Li Chengqian was because he did not want to get involved in the struggle for imperial power between the Crown Prince and the King of Wei.
But at this moment, Wei Zheng's heart seemed to be wavering.
Because of the talent that Li Chengqian displayed, Wei Zheng felt that it was not only worth it to serve him, but he was also very honored.
This thought flashed past Wei Zheng's mind, but he did not show it.
After all, the current Emperor had just seized power from the Xuanwu Sect, and the blood of the former Crown Prince Li Jiancheng had not even dried up. Who would dare to fight for power at this time?
Facing Wei Zheng's praise, Li Chengqian waved his hand indifferently and said humbly.
"These are just superficial opinions. There is a long way to go before they are truly implemented.”
"Although the imperial examination gives the poor commoners a chance to leap over the dragon gate, they are still too naive…"
"In short, don't have too high expectations for the current imperial examination system.”
Hearing this, Wei Zheng frowned slightly and immediately became anxious.
After hearing Li Chengqian's shallow opinion, Wei Zheng was enlightened.
He originally thought that the drawbacks of the imperial examination system had already been made up for, but hearing Li Chengqian's words, it was clear that there were more important points that had not been said.
Wei Zheng, who had always been eager to learn, would not be willing to give up just like that. He once again sincerely cupped his hands and begged Li Chengqian.
"I hope that Your Highness will not be stingy with your advice and dispel the doubts in my heart…"
Not only was Wei Zheng curious, Wu Meiniang, who was standing at the side, also tilted her head and thought seriously. Her frown made her look playful and cute.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian said indifferently.
"I can't be considered to be teaching…"
"Changing the content of the scientific examination is only one of them. The most important thing is the culture itself!”
"The purpose of the imperial examination is to attract the world's learned scholars and also to give the children of the poor a chance to leap over the dragon gate…"
"However, in today's world, it's a very luxurious thing for ordinary people to be able to eat and wear warm clothes. Who has the money to buy all kinds of classics?”
"If you can't afford books and learn cultural knowledge, how can you participate in the scientific examination?”
"This in itself is a reform that has a long way to go. If we can't let everyone in the world have books to read, the imperial examination system will never be perfected!”
"And the changes that His Majesty wants to make through the imperial examination will never be realized…"
......
Li Chengqian said it casually, but Wei Zheng, who was listening to these shallow opinions, was already stunned and his heart was beating wildly.
He finally realized what the biggest drawback of the imperial examination system was!
