Chapter 78 The Unspoken Rules of the Imperial Examination System, the Emperor was furious
Wang Mu is a famous talent in Lingnan. Wang Mu also signed up early for the imperial examination this year.
Wang Mu longed in his heart that one day he could devote his talents to the Tang Dynasty.
Unfortunately, Wang Mu passed the provincial examination, but eventually failed and was unable to enter the palace examination.
Wang Mu really couldn't figure it out. His articles were written in a beautiful way. Not to mention the top scorer, at least the top three should be fine. Why didn't he even enter the palace examination?
Wang Mu was unwilling to give up, so he asked the candidates of the same group and got a truth that made him desperate.
The imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty had an unspoken rule.
That is the recommendation system.
Before taking the imperial examination, if there is no official recommending it to you, it will be useless even if the article is well written.
Because the quota has been settled.
Wang Mu belongs to a talented man from a poor family.
Talented, but without background
Of course, if Wang Mu is willing to surrender, with his ability, he will definitely win a good future.
But Wang Mu was too arrogant.
Wang Mu believes that his abilities should be placed on the country's livelihood.
Not a powerful child.
Wang Mu looked lonely.
He never expected that his talent would have nowhere to be displayed
Baihua Pavilion.
After Li Si talked to Mu Mu for a few words, he took Mu Mu to the Imperial Garden for a while.
In the imperial garden, the fragrance is fragrant.
Mu Mu was half a step behind the emperor, and nostalgia appeared on his pretty face.
She has lived in the Imperial Garden for more than ten years and is very familiar with this place.
And it was here that Mu Mu met the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Also here, he was personally enthroned as a beauty by the emperor, and from then on he changed his identity and became a noble lady.
Mu Mu often thought that if she hadn't met His Majesty that day, now she should still live carefreely in this imperial garden.
Li Si never told Mu Mu that after seeing Mu Mu for the first time, Li Si ordered Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, to investigate the entire imperial garden thoroughly.
After visiting the Imperial Garden, Li Si and Mu Mu returned to Baihua Pavilion.
Mu Mu looked at Li Si and plucked up the courage and said, "Your Majesty, do you need my servant?"
When Li Si heard this, he glanced at the sky and shook his head and said, "No need, I still have to go back to deal with government affairs."
Now, after Li Si's remediation, the Tang Dynasty is not as turbulent as before, but there are still many memorials that need to be reviewed by the emperor for many years every day.
The ministers were unable to make decisions on these memorials, or the ministers did not dare to make decisions, so they could only leave them to the emperor
If these memorials are not reviewed every day, the problem will exist every day.
"I respectfully send you to Your Majesty"
Mu Mu sent the emperor out of Baihua Pavilion and silently looked at the emperor's back.
Mu Mu knew that the emperor wasn't really busy.
So, Mu Mu never asked for anything.
As an emperor's woman, she can only bear these loneliness.
Mu Mu's only hope now is to have a child for the emperor.
In this way, with children, you won't be so lonely in the future
When the emperor left Baihua Pavilion, an imperial physician immediately stepped forward: "Empress, I wonder if Your Majesty favors Empress?"
When the emperor visited Mei Meng, the imperial physician did not dare to go in, so he could only ask in person.
Mu Mu looked at the imperial physician and knew that this was the empress dowager's meaning.
Before, when the emperor favored her for the first time, an imperial physician came forward and gave her a lot of supplements.
Mu Mu thought about it and said, "No, Your Majesty is worried about state affairs and is back to deal with government affairs."
As soon as Mu Mu finished speaking, the imperial physician bowed slightly and said, "I understand."
Li Si returned to the Hall of Changsheng, and Cao Zhengchun came to pay a visit.
"Prince!"
Cao Zhengchun walked into the hall and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, these are all things explained by the Turkic national teacher, including detailed maps of the Turkic grasslands and information from major tribes."
Cao Zhengchun took out a memorial from his sleeve and held it respectfully in his hand.
The eunuch nearby came forward and submitted the memorial to the Emperor Long's case.
Li Si opened the memorial, glanced at random, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, sending these to King Liang is fast!"
Li Si knew that for the frontline soldiers, a detailed piece of information could avoid many meaningless losses.
"Old slave obeys the order!"
When Cao Zhengchun said this, he paused for a moment and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, since the Turkic national guru has told him, I need the old slave to solve him?"
Cao Zhengchun is indeed cruel. He just said intentionally or unintentionally in front of the Turkic National Master that if the other party cooperates, the emperor may spare his life.
Now, as soon as he turned around, he asked the emperor to kill the Turkic master.
When Li Si heard Cao Zhengchun's words, he casually said: "No, I still want to use him."
"Old slave obeys the order." Cao Zhengchun took the order to withdraw from the Palace of Eternal Life.
He wants to complete His Majesty's order and deliver this information to King Liang as quickly as possible.
As for the Turkic National Master, since His Majesty did not plan to kill him, Cao Zhengchun naturally did not dare to take action.
Although Cao Zhengchun was very bold, he did not dare to disobey His Majesty at all.
After Cao Zhengchun left, the Minister of Rites came to visit.
"The old minister has seen Your Majesty." The Minister of Rites saluted respectfully.
Li Si waved his hand: "Get up, what's wrong with you?"
"Report to Your Majesty, the imperial examination has been held in the palace examination. This is the list of candidates who have passed the provincial examination. I hope your Majesty will take a look."
The Minister of Rites presented the imperial examination list to the emperor.
Li Si sat upright on the dragon throne, looking through the list.
Originally, the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty did not have the palace examination.
But Li Si added the palace examination, and the location of the palace examination was the palace.
By then, the emperor would personally give the exam questions for the ten candidates who participated in the palace examination, and the final ranking was also designated by the emperor.
In this way, the candidates who passed the palace examination were all disciples of the emperor and could resolve factional disputes in the court from the root.
Li Si frowned slightly as he looked at the list presented by the Minister of Rites.
The list is not only the candidate's names, but also the articles written by the candidates, for the emperor to read at any time.
The more Li Si looked, the ugly his face became.
Li Si read the article of a candidate named Zhao Qing, the first place in the provincial examination.
The candidate named Zhao Qing wrote a gorgeous article, but Li Si read it for a long time but did not see any substantial content.
The whole article is basically praising how the Tang Dynasty flourished, how the Tang Dynasty emperors were wise, and how the Tang Dynasty people were happy
Li Si suppressed his anger and looked at the articles of other candidates.
However, after reading it in one circle, most of the articles written by Zhao Qing were almost flattering.
A few of the things that involve specific things are one-sided words that cannot stand the veracity of verification.
Li Si never expected that the many difficulties in establishing the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty were the ones who only knew how to flatter the people?
Bang!
Li Si smashed the list in his hand into the dragon case.
"Mr. Minister of Rites! Tell me! What's going on with these people on the list?!!"
Li Si looked at the Minister of Rites and questioned.
"minister"
When the Minister of Rites heard the emperor's questioning, he knelt on the ground with a thud and felt that the sky seemed to collapse.
Li Si suddenly stood up and looked directly at the Minister of Rites: "Are Is it the talented men of the Tang Dynasty? They are all wastes who can only flatter and flatter! They don't know anything?!"
The Minister of Rites knelt on the ground, not daring to refute a word, and cold sweat came out on his forehead!
