Chapter 2599 Father-in-law, give an example, for example, which loophole cannot be avoided?
Li Shimin was also very happy in his heart. For a king, talents are rare, and talents like Wang Xuance, who are both civil and military, brave and resourceful, can be called great talents.
The important thing is that he is still young, and his future prospects may be that he will be a prominent figure in the court.
The most important thing is that his origin, like Ma Zhou, was from a poor family.
The carriage did not go back to the palace directly, but actually strolled to the Peony Pavilion Restaurant. Cheng Chubi and Li Ke honestly followed their father-in-law who was in high spirits and climbed to the top floor of the private room.
The side dishes and wine were put on the table, and then Li Shimin warmly greeted the two juniors to join them, and then made a gesture.
Zhao Kun walked out of the private room very wisely and stood outside the door. As for the two private rooms on the left and right, they had also been enclosed, and the imperial guards were guarding outside.
Li Shimin looked at the two young men in front of him who were eating and drinking unceremoniously. When he saw that they were almost half full, he spoke.
"Son-in-law Chu Bi, do you still remember what you said before? It was what you said before entering Wang Xuance's mansion."
Cheng Chubi raised his hand and wiped the oil on his mouth. He suddenly understood and quickly bowed respectfully to his father-in-law.
"I didn't expect that my father-in-law's sharp eyesight really makes my son-in-law admire him very much."
Li Ke, who was drinking porridge, was so choked that he lay on the table and coughed wildly. What kind of strange circuit does brother Chu Bi have in his mind? Is this what my father is talking about?
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang, who seemed to be chewing something like brittle bones or pig ears in his mouth, and looked at him with sincerity and innocence.
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should be angry or happy.
"Swallow what's in your mouth first. I'm talking about the imperial examination."
"My son-in-law understands. My father-in-law wants to know how to solve the shortcomings of the Imperial Examination in the Tang Dynasty, right?"
Cheng Chubi finally started to become serious. After all, his father-in-law had already said it for him when he said that no one knows the imperial examination better than me.
He had to do something to prove his superior wisdom and his ability to solve the shortcomings of the imperial examination.
Seeing Cheng Sanlang sitting upright, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation in his heart.
After all, this kid is really not an ordinary person. Whatever he thinks he can do, nothing will be difficult for him.
Therefore, Cheng Sanlang's statement just outside Wang Xuance's residence had already taken his heart to heart.
Now that Wang Xuance's affairs have been finished, it's time to have an in-depth communication with this good son-in-law who is full of energy and can come up with an idea in the blink of an eye.
"My dear son-in-law, you must also know that the establishment of the imperial examination system was originally a means to restrict aristocratic families and prevent the gentry from influencing the government..."
Listening to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty describe the origin and reasons of the imperial examination system with emotion.
Cheng Chubi was also very fascinated. You must know that the emergence of the imperial examination system was a major change in the official selection system in ancient China.
It can be said that the selection of scholars through the imperial examination is equivalent to concentrating the power of selecting talents and appointing officials from the hands of local powerful families such as aristocratic families to the central government.
It greatly strengthened the centralization of power in the feudal empire and also expanded the scope of selecting officials.
This enabled a large number of talented and learned people who did not come from aristocratic families and had low family status to pass the imperial examination system and gain the power to participate in and discuss politics.
And with the broadening of the scope of official selection, it also stimulated rapid progress in education.
It can be said that since the emergence of the imperial examination system and until later generations, it can be regarded as the fairest form of talent selection that humans can adopt.
Even the civil official selection system of the Western Barbarian civilization in later generations was also copied from the Chinese imperial examination system.
And the various scientific examinations in later generations are not without the shadow of the imperial examination.
Therefore, we have to admit that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, was definitely a very farsighted and wise emperor. It was in his hands that the concept of the imperial examination came into being.
After sighing and sighing, the father-in-law began to complain, naturally about the current imperial examination system, which gave ordinary people from poor families the opportunity to enter the official class.
However, the number of people is really too small. After all, nowadays, aristocratic families hold the largest seeds of reading and the largest number of book resources.
Similarly, a considerable part of the officialdom comes from aristocratic families, or has the shadow of aristocratic families behind them.
And these officials, in order for the imperial examination system to be more beneficial to wealthy families, would naturally try every means to prevent the reform of the imperial examination system.
"The important thing is that many loopholes in the imperial examination system are difficult to avoid..."
Hearing this, Cheng Chubi raised his eyebrows with a look of confidence and calmness.
"Oh? My father-in-law, please give me an example. Which loophole can't be avoided?"
"..." Li Shimin raised his eyelids and saw Cheng Sanlang's expression, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Evaluators, as long as you see the test papers of those exams recommended by the famous families.
Even if they are just mediocre people, they can still be ranked among the first-class candidates with a stroke of a pen.
Could you please tell me how to avoid this vulnerability?"
Li Ke also nodded frequently and happily continued to stretch out his chopsticks to hold the dried pot bamboo rat in front of him. His mouth was full of oil while eating, and he could watch the fun at the same time. It was really fun.
This problem has been a major problem that has not been solved since the establishment of the imperial examination system.
I don’t know how many wise men and women have racked their brains but have not been able to solve it. Let’s see if this evil brother has any fantastic ideas or methods to solve this loophole.
Then, Li Ke and his father Li Shimin saw a strange smile on Cheng Sanlang's face.
Then Cheng Sanlang stretched out his thumb and marked a distance about the size of a fingernail on his little finger.
"Haha... My son-in-law thinks that this is not a problem at all. It can be solved with a little trick."
"..." Li Ke stared blankly at Brother Chu Bi who was making gestures, and Li Shimin was also dumbfounded as he looked at Cheng Sanlang who was so confident that he was about to raise his tail to the sky.
"Hahaha... Okay, okay, I would like to ask you for advice. What is this little trick of yours?"
Although Li Shimin laughed out loud at first, his face suddenly darkened, and his eyes were full of threats.
The hidden meaning is obvious. If you dare to talk nonsense at this time, today is a good day for your kid to enter the palace and enjoy the butt stick.
However, Cheng Sanlang, who had the means, did not panic at all. He raised his hand grandly and decisively used this most classic examination method in later generations.
"Since my father-in-law thinks that the examiners will recommend candidates based on their names, why not just hide their names?"
"..."
I'm away from home. Fortunately, I caught up with the update today. I'm busy tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but I'll code when I have time. I will definitely not stop updating. There should be at least two updates a day.
