A waiter bravely stepped out of the queue and asked cautiously.
"Your Majesty, if the name is copied and copied into a system, wouldn't it become a decoration?"
"What is the examination paper... In the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty, is there any explicit provision that examination papers must be conducted?"
"..." Li Shimin's rhetorical question directly made the official feel guilty, but when he thought of those nephews who were not very promising, he could only bite the bullet and continue.
"Your Majesty, although our Imperial Examination System of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that examination papers are a must, but since the early years of Zhenguan, talented people have compiled the best works of the past into a volume for others to criticize and enhance..."
The smile on the face of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty gradually faded, and his eagle eyes fell on the official's face like lightning.
"What I'm asking you is, is there any rule in the Imperial Examination System of the Tang Dynasty? The examination must be completed?!"
As Li Shimin asked the question for the second time, the official who was talking about it looked shocked on his face.
Gradually it turned into timidity and fear, and soon he lowered his head, trying to avoid the emperor's obviously displeased gaze.
At this moment, there was a dead silence in the palace, and a group of officials from aristocratic families who seemed a little ready to make a move couldn't help but look at each other.
"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I have only made some minor repairs to the imperial examination system, but what is this so-called examination system?"
"If everyone can make a name for themselves by practicing scrolls, then why does the imperial court still conduct imperial examinations?"
His Majesty's voice was not loud, and even his tone did not fluctuate. However, the eyelids of all the ministers were twitching wildly.
"Even though this kind of writing was popular among the emperors, the reason why the imperial court did not include it in the rules is because the imperial court felt that it would do more harm than good."
Fang Xuanling on the side cleared his throat at this time and gave a serious suggestion.
"What your Majesty said is true, and I also feel that since our imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty needs to be improved, the system of anonymizing names and transcribing records will become a final rule."
"Then, since the custom of writing and writing is a channel for many talents to become famous, even if the court does not accept it, it should not ban it."
When Fang Xuanling said these words, Li Shimin nodded slightly, which seemed to be that he approved the suggestion of this famous Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty.
As for the ministers of the aristocratic families, although they were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to do so. After all, since they had all been recorded anonymously.
Even if those mediocre people paid a gunman to produce a very good certificate, I am afraid it would be difficult for them to have the opportunity to be directly selected by the imperial examination with this thing.
This is because the name-transfer system established by His Majesty has directly separated the steps of selecting scholars through the imperial examination.
In the past, the examiner would set the questions and the examiner would mark the paper. If he said you were good, you could be good, or if you weren't, you could be good.
But now, a group of people are anonymous, and another group of people are marking papers. The important thing is that the people marking the papers don't even know whose papers they are marking, because they can't even see the handwriting.
And even if some people want to adjust the password, haha, unless you bribe all the examiners, in that case, mistakes will easily occur.
"My lords, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Old God Li Shimin looked at these ministers on the ground with profound meaning.
"If you don't have any objections, then next year's spring exam will be done in accordance with the regulations."
#####
"Your Majesty, I feel that the regulations your Majesty has in mind are indeed conducive to our imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty. However, I think that we should be cautious."
At this time, another minister stood up and saluted Li Shimin.
When Li Shimin raised his eyelids, it was Chu Suiliang. From the corner of his eye, Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji.
I only saw that my uncle, who had always been serious and steady, also raised his eyes to look at Chu Suiliang, his eyes flickering.
"Tell me the reasons why you need to be cautious." Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.
Chu Suiliang could only bite the bullet and state his reasons in the face of His Majesty's knife-like gaze.
"Your Majesty should know that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Department of Civil Service Examinations has been responsible for all matters related to the imperial examinations."
"Of course, now that Your Majesty has good laws and new regulations, it will definitely make the selection of scholars through the imperial examination more fair.
However, as a result, its workload has increased exponentially compared to the past."
"All the officials in the examination department are working hard to prepare for this matter. I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to complete the procedures of anonymizing names, transcribing, approving papers, and selecting scholars in the spring period."
"Although this law is good, the procedures are cumbersome, and the official affairs are very heavy. It may be difficult to clarify the rights and responsibilities of the new regulations in a short time."
"So I think these regulations should be slowed down, and I ask your Majesty to think again."
As soon as this statement came out, the eyes of the ministers who had already seemed to be a little waning suddenly brightened up, and they all started to echo Chu Suiliang's words.
Li Shimin's expression did not change much, and he just let his ministers and servants line up to follow him.
And once again, Li Shimin's eyes fell on Changsun Wuji, and he smiled slightly.
"Wuji, you have been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for many years, and you know the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel most clearly. What do you think?"
Everyone's eyes once again fell on Changsun Wuji.
Hearing Wuji's greeting, Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat and he raised his eyes to look at the powerful Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
His eyes swept over the many ministers who were already standing in the palace. Changsun Wuji stood up, came out of the queue, and saluted Li Shimin seriously.
"Your Majesty, the selection of scholars through the imperial examination is a major policy of the country, so caution is the top priority. Our staff department is fully responsible for this matter, and no one in the staff department dares to slack off."
"And the good method proposed by Your Majesty, I think it should be put to use, but now, as Chu Shilang said, it really cannot be done overnight."
"I ask your Majesty to grant me some time to wait for my staff..."
Before Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he saw Li Shimin raising his hand and could only swallow the explanation behind.
Li Shimin stood up and slowly put his hands behind his back. His expression did not change much, but Changsun Wuji's heart was in doubt.
He knew very well what kind of person Li Shimin was, and he was afraid that at this moment, he would definitely be resentful of himself.
But the problem is that at this time, if I don't want to delay the so-called nameless transcription process, then I will have to bear the pressure of those wealthy families.
Now, I have become too close to the wealthy family, so close that it is difficult to separate...
Although the expressions of the ministers did not change, those with aristocratic family backgrounds were already secretly relieved in their hearts.
No matter what, as long as His Majesty doesn't make a decision on the spot, the next step is to delay.
After three drags and five drags, His Majesty, with his hair covered with frost, may be dragged down until the prince, whose prestige and ability are far inferior, ascends the throne, haha...
Li Shimin didn't say a word, stood in the hall with his hands behind his hands, and his eyes began to wander back and forth in the hall.
Each of the six ministers and the chief officials of the nine ministers would be stared at by him several times, which made all the ministers feel frightened and confused.
