These three people obviously haven't recovered from the biggest happy event in their lives. Every one of them exudes the feeling of being in high spirits during a happy event.
Taking a break from the busy government affairs, Li Chen was in a good mood when he looked at the three green and fresh leeks in front of him.
"good."
Li Chen nodded and said, "Everyone, please stand up and talk."
The three of them stood up obediently.
They know where everything they have comes from. Don't talk nonsense about relying on their own abilities. Those who can go to the palace examination are not far behind in their abilities.
It's just that they happened to meet His Highness the Prince's appetite for questions. If they were to test the traditional strategies of the Eight Classics, they might not necessarily have much advantage.
It's just that these are all ifs, and there are no ifs in this world.
"You three are the top three in this imperial examination. I have high hopes for you, so I have called you here today. Firstly, I want to explain something clearly to you. Secondly, I plan to send you your acceptance of fate."
Already."
After Li Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand to stop them from saluting, and then said: "Fu Minqing."
As the new champion, Fu Minqing was naturally the first to be named by Li Chen.
Fu Minqing took a step forward and said with a low eyebrow, "The students are here."
Li Chen said: "You are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and you are relatively familiar with the south. Tell me the truth, what is the current situation in the south?"
This question is not easy to answer.
But Fu Minqing knew that he had to answer, and he couldn't answer in a flattering way.
I can only bite the bullet and say: "Reporting to Your Highness, Your Highness asked, the students did not dare to state truthfully. The people in the south are not living well. In the south, the power of the local powerful is much greater than that of the government. Therefore, the local officials not only compete with the local powerful
Collusion, even many government affairs, if there is no nod from local powerful people, the government will not be able to move forward."
"If things continue like this, the situation in the south will naturally not be good."
"In the student's hometown, there once was a strong and evil young man who robbed a girl from the street. After insulting the girl, he exposed her body in the wilderness. This move aroused the local people's resentment. The local magistrate was considered a good official and led the soldiers to the Yamen.
When we went to fetch people, the weapons and number of servants in the powerful mansion far exceeded those of the government."
"In the end, this matter was settled."
Speaking of this, Fu Minqing had an ugly expression, lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "This matter is just a drop in the ocean. There are many worse and more sensational ones. Students dare not say any more."
Li Chen was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then said: "That's enough. I've already got a glimpse of the situation in the south. I already know what's going on in the south."
Hearing Li Chen's words, the three people below couldn't help but be a little curious. Could it be that the prince planned to let the new top scholar go directly to the south to take up a post?
"The imperial court has mandatory regulations on the number of local gentry, officials, and servants in their residences. However, these regulations were firmly implemented at the beginning of the founding of the country, and no one dared to violate them. But now, most of them have become a piece of paper.
Bar."
Li Chen sneered.
For feudal dynasties, clan clans are never a good thing.
These people were rich and powerful locally, and when they became local emperors, they would naturally rebel against the imperial court, and even wanted to become emperors of the world.
It's just that they are huge in number and represent the most powerful force in the world, the family power.
No matter which generation of court it is, there is no way to completely solve them.
But now that the Qin Dynasty is weakening, these family clans have naturally expanded rapidly one by one and become a cancer.
