Chapter 101 Killing Chickens and Scaring Monkeys
Yun Xihe knew in his heart that this meant rejection, and pointed him in the direction politely.
"The knowledge involved in the personnel changes of court officials is quite profound. Lord Shen might as well take this as a subject to test everyone's foresight and knowledge."
Shen Jing waved his hand in a preaching tone,
"Xihe, you don't know something! Questions about personnel changes are all matter-of-fact questions. If you single them out as a test question to teach people, the answers you get are just words on paper. In the end, it is contrary to the emperor's intention. It's not good, it's not good!"
Yun Xihe thought for a while and then suggested another direction, "What if we ask about the shortcomings of the imperial examination? Even if it can't be corrected for a while, it can still be a relief to the students who failed."
Of course Shen Jing was still dissatisfied, "The problems of the imperial examination have been improved year after year. For students who failed, the problem in their eyes is that the questions are too biased, or the judgments are biased, or there are cheaters. There is no need to ask again."
Yun Xihe's eyes were dim, "Does Mr. Shen feel that the Ministry of Personnel will not be able to provide any practical issues in this test?"
Shen Jing shook his head, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, "Why did Miss Yun say such a thing! The Holy One has an edict, and the lower officials are naturally very cooperative."
For a veteran like Shen Jing, he would never say no to anything without bluntly saying no, and was actually very enthusiastic.
But when he actually does things, he can't do this or that, and in the end people give up.
But Yun Xihe was not taken advantage of. Since she proposed this idea, she naturally thought of many possible troubles she would face in advance. What's more, the emperor also gave Qin Xuanling such a big deal. Shen Jing's refusal was just that It was because she felt that the strategy she proposed to recruit talents was just a slap in the face of the officials.
Then she said: "It's okay if Mr. Shen really has no thoughts."
The smile on Shen Jing's face deepened, thinking that Yun Xihe was frightened by his few words and backed down. He thought to himself, hum, you are still too young to steal my job!
Unexpectedly, before he could completely put his mind at ease, Yun Xihe said again, "Isn't Xiao Rushan, the former minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a ready-made example? Let's just use him as a target. Isn't this problem easily solved?"
"For example, how can we avoid core officials from the Ministry of Supervision and Human Resources accepting bribes and bribes?"
"For another example, the personnel issues of the Ministry of Personnel are complicated and complicated. What if an inspectorate is established to make the government affairs of the Ministry of Personnel more transparent?"
"besides......"
"Xihe! Xihe!" Shen Jing stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat. This was not a test question. This was putting his entire staff on the fire!
Not only did he publicize the scandal of the official department, but he also asked someone to supervise the official department. He was so full that he made himself uncomfortable!
Qin Xuanling was leisurely watching Shen Jing's reaction, as if watching the monkey jumping up and down. He said quietly, "I think it's good."
Shen Jing hurriedly turned around to beg for mercy, "Prince Xuan! It's inappropriate...it's inappropriate..."
Yun Xihe tilted his head, "Is it wrong again? But Master Shen didn't have any better ideas, so Xihe could only write it down according to his own ideas."
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Shen Jing said hurriedly, "Miss Xihe, please excuse me for a few days. I will do my best to sort out the questions suitable for the examination."
I don’t know how Yun Lie’s daughter was brought up, how she behaved in such a sharp manner, and Qin Xuanling, the God of Plague, happened to be sitting here, which was really painful.
He gave in on the face, but made up his mind in his heart. When the two of them left the official gate, he handed over a memorial and read it carefully!
Yun Xihe is just a daughter of a boudoir, so interfering in the affairs of the court is not a slap in the face of the civil and military officials of the court!
Si Chen, the hen, what does it look like!
Yun Xihe smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. You Xihe and His Highness Prince Xuan have nothing to do today, so they might as well wait for Lord Shen in the official department. When will the Lord hand over the prepared questions to Xihe, what will Xihe do? It’s time to leave.”
Shen Jing's move was something she had read about in military books when she was a child. Isn't it just a tactic to delay the attack?
Everything is difficult at the beginning. The remaining few in the Sixth Division who have unclear attitudes are watching. She must get the official affairs done today.
"This!" Shen Jing's heart was shocked. Seeing that Yun Xihe's tone did not seem to be fake, as if he had seen through him at a glance, he hurriedly explained, "There are really many problems in the official department, so it will take some time. ....."
"Since there are so many questions, wouldn't it be faster to write them? There is nothing wrong with my understanding, right? Hurry up, Mr. Shen, and I will not have lunch with your staff."
Qin Xuanling's words made Shen Jing freeze.
These two people were choked up by the words!
Yun Xihe suppressed a smile in his heart, and looked at Minister Shi who was standing aside in a leisurely manner, and reminded him, "Why don't you go and prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones for Lord Shen?"
Chang Shi looked at Shen Jing with a blank look on his face. Shen Jing's teeth were itching with hatred and he felt that the smile on his face could no longer be held. But every time he saw Qin Xuanling, he couldn't help but think of how Duke Xue's mansion was raided by him. He had a family, and Zhongshu ordered Wei Kang to pretend to be ill, and how did he lead his men to rob the money...
That's all...it's not shameful to be afraid of such a person.
So he personally ordered Chang Shi, "Why don't you go quickly?!"
With this good start from the officials, the other ministers, who had ambiguous attitudes, immediately drafted the policy questions and waited for Yun Xihe and King Xuan to pick them up.
When Yun Xihe and Qin Xuanling walked into the Ministry of Etiquette, everyone in the Ministry of Rites was very busy receiving students.
When Song Qian, the Minister of Rites, saw these two people, his eyes lit up and he immediately came to greet them, "Prince Xuan, Miss Yun, you two are here!"
As he spoke, he immediately waved his hand and asked someone to hand over a pile of questions written in Chinese characters. He then introduced himself,
"Your Majesty, take a look, this is all compiled by me overnight. If there is anything inappropriate, I will draft it again!"
Yun Xihe smiled slightly and said, "Master Song is too polite."
Seeing Song Qian's attitude of not being too far or too close, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she really deserves to be the Ministry of Etiquette, it feels like spring breeze.
From entering the Ministry of Personnel to stepping out of the Ministry of Etiquette, it only took two days, and the biggest problem was solved beautifully.
On the way back to the palace, Yun Xihe was still sitting in the carriage as when she came. She opened the curtain, looked at Qin Xuanling sitting in the carriage, and thanked her from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you so much to Prince Xuan!"
Qin Xuanling lowered his eyes and looked at her with a faint expression on his face, "Just say thank you?"
Seeing that the expression on his face was very serious, she could only say seriously, "Next time when I remove the poison from the prince, I will mix some anesthetic incense in advance so that the prince will suffer less pain."
