    Since the imperial court implemented the imperial examination system, courtiers in the court have written letters to advise Yang Guang to stop doing this.  Yang Guang saw that the crowd was angry and had different opinions, and he hesitated for a while.

    On April 30, Yang Guang convened a group of ministers in the Qianyang Hall of Ziwei City in the eastern capital to discuss the matter of opening a new school and recruiting scholars.

    In the early morning, before dawn, Huang Mingyuan had already packed up and prepared to go to court.  There is a tough battle to be fought today, a battle that cannot be avoided.

    Pei Shuning came to deliver breakfast to Huang Mingyuan. Huang Mingyuan took two random bites before going out.

    When I left the house, the sky was filled with stars and no one was around.  Huang Mingyuan sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was awake or asleep.  Su Yong was driving the chariot, with Xiongkuohai riding in front, holding a stick in one hand and a lantern in the other to lead the way.

    Huang Mingyuan usually rides a horse when he goes to court, not because of other reasons, but because Huang Mingyuan has never developed the habit of getting up early in his previous life, and it is the same in this life. For this reason, every time he goes to court, he ends up in the end and has to ride on his horse.

    Before this battle, Huang Mingyuan wanted to show his calmness, so he chose to take a car.

    Huixunfang is also close to the palace. It didn't take long for Huang Mingyuan to arrive outside Duanmen.

    At this time, his father-in-law Pei Ju was outside Duanmen. Huang Mingyuan got off the carriage and walked forward.  Huang Mingyuan sometimes doesn't understand why these people get up so early.

    Pei Ju stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Mingyuan has thought it over carefully. Today you are not a general fighting for your life on the battlefield, but a prime minister, and you must be careful about everything. Do you know how much you will offend if you open a subject to get a scholar?"  People, there are some things you can¡¯t be careless about.¡±

    Huang Mingyuan said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, Mingyuan has everything in his heart. Whether Mingyuan is a general or a prime minister, he is a minister of the emperor, sharing his worries and taking care of his duties."

    Pei Ju looked at his son-in-law and wondered whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

    Huang Mingyuan did not enter the palace with Pei Ju, but strode into the palace gate alone.  Now that I have many controversies, there is no need to let my father-in-law get into trouble.  It was Huang Mingyuan who mentioned the subject of opening a subject to obtain a scholarship, and Huang Mingyuan had long expected the controversy that would arise.

    The opening of a new subject to obtain academic qualifications indeed shocked everyone, including opponents but also supporters.

    Of course Huang Mingyuan understood what this meant, but the more this happened, the less fearful Huang Mingyuan became.  Chen Yuan and others advised Huang Mingyuan not to blindly offend the wealthy family.  But Huang Mingyuan knew that he would not be willing to go against his heart for an unknown support in the future.

    Therefore, on the way into the imperial city, Huang Mingyuan held the wat board alone and turned a deaf ear to the discussions around him.  This is a battle that cannot be lost. It is a thorny road for China's future. No matter how difficult and dangerous it is, we cannot take a step back.

    At the entrance of Qianyang Palace, Huang Mingyuan met Yang Zhao who was supported by the palace servants.  Yang Zhaogang wanted to say something, but Huang Mingyuan waved his hand and said: "Today's matter is a major matter of the country. The prince only needs to listen to it when the time comes. There is no need to say a word. Remember it." After saying that, he didn't care what Yang Zhao wanted to say and didn't look back.  into the temple.

    Today is considered a small court, and all the important ministers are here.

    After Huang Mingyuan entered the palace, he did not greet anyone. Instead, he sat in his seat alone, closed his eyes, and waited for the emperor.

    Everyone was staring at Huang Mingyuan, but no one came forward.

    After Yang Guang arrived, Huang Mingyuan started to report in the hall about opening up subjects to recruit scholars, so as to supplement talents for the imperial court.  As for how to implement it specifically, Huang Mingyuan suggested "dividing those who took the imperial examination and selecting them through examination." The imperial court not only set up subjects such as Mingfa, Mingjing, and Mingshu, but also set up a "Jinshi subject" for direct selection and conferment of officials.

    The imperial examination system existed in the Han Dynasty, and the examination was something that happened in all dynasties.  The controversy over the imperial examination system mainly focuses on the "three major suggestions" and "three minor suggestions" put forward by Huang Mingyuan.

    The three major suggestions are for the imperial examination system itself.  First, when a scholar should be promoted, it is allowed in principle to "throw in an ultimatum and advance on one's own", and does not have to be specially recommended by ministers or governors; second, "everything is based on Cheng Wen", in other words, whether a person is promoted or dismissed  The decision must be made through a strict examination and has nothing to do with anything else; thirdly, the Jinshi subject is the main subject for admission. The imperial court unified the test and the scholars took the examination regularly.

    As for various subjects, Huang Mingyuan even asked for "those who can master a classic and are not tired from beginning to end. After the strategy is implemented, select and add narratives. Even if you resume the cattle and supervise the sheep, you will be in the back door, and you will test the officials accordingly. Don't leave anything behind."  separated."

    And the three little suggestions left everyone speechless.  First, the examination adopts the sealing system and uses a unified font; second, the examination is divided into two sessions, the first one determines whether to stay, and the second one determines the ranking, and the court awards officials according to the ranking; third, there are at least six to eight ministers in charge  After marking the papers, the emperor will finally decide the ranking.

    ?The three small suggestions are set up for the imperial examination system itself, and are also designed to strengthen the fairness of the examination.  If paper hadn't been precious and there were few readers in this era, Huang Mingyuan would have suggested transcribing and recording.

    However, the simplified things Huang Mingyuan proposed were still shocking to everyone, and everyone in the hall started talking about it.

    In the eyes of many people, the exam is OK, but the ¡°three major suggestions¡± and ¡°three small suggestions¡± put forward by Huang Mingyuan are not.

    At this time, the internal historian ordered Yang Yue to step forward and said: "Although Lu Gong's words may seem reasonable, they are really wrong. In selecting officials in this way, regardless of their character, if they choose people who are morally corrupt and harm the people, they will be wrong.  Wouldn't it be a harm to the people of the whole place? When selecting officials, the most important thing is the moral character of the family. This is an eternal principle."

    When everyone heard this, they also said the same thing one after another.  In fact, since the Han Dynasty, more emphasis has been placed on the selection of virtues. Huang Mingyuan proposed that only talent and learning should be considered, which was really unacceptable to everyone.

    Seeing that everyone was talking and disagreeing, Huang Mingyuan and Yang Guang looked at each other and stood up and said: "Mr. Yang, since the Han Dynasty, talents have been selected based on morality and family background, but there are very few people who harm the people. The candidates are selected through the imperial examination.  Even if the selected talents have moral shortcomings, at least they are capable enough and will not hinder political affairs. However, some so-called moral scholars do not know how to farm and only like to show off the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. If such people are allowed to serve as officials, what will happen to the country?  Great governance."

    Yang Yue was speechless.

    "The Duke of Lu is wrong!"

    At this time, Yang Wensi, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, stood up and said: "Compared to people from poor families, those children from aristocratic families have deep academic connections, are deeply influenced by their ears and eyes, and they also know how to govern the country and the people. But the imperial court rashly selects people, if they choose  There are some children from poor families who, although they know some knowledge, do not have the inheritance of political experience. Once they easily become officials, they may cause disaster."

    Yang Wensi is Yang Su¡¯s cousin, born in the Yang family of Hongnong. As one of the top five big families in the world, he certainly does not support Huang Mingyuan¡¯s suggestion.  Although he was ostensibly worried that the scholars selected by the imperial examination were not good at governing, in fact he still wanted the emperor to follow the nine-grade Zhongzheng system and implement a hereditary system of family inheritance.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
