The First Family of the Tang Dynasty Chapter 2600 The son-in-law feels that the Ministry of Officials should not be responsible for the imperial examinations
Chapter 2600 The son-in-law feels that the Ministry of Officials should not be responsible for the imperial examinations
"Hidden name? Hide your name so no one can see it!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table with gleaming eyes, and his whole body suddenly shook.
I wish I could give this cunning moth king a hundred likes with my thumbs up.
Cheng Sanlang smiled very modestly, he just directly borrowed the mature examination methods from later generations to this era.
This kind of method was not only used in the feudal dynasty, but was still used when he was studying.
Sure enough, it was my blessing that I had just pointed out the loophole to him, and he almost instinctively came up with a solution.
And I and a group of ministers have been thinking hard about solving this problem for an unknown amount of time, but they still can't solve it.
This made His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty want to pry open this kid's head and see what kind of magical things were inside.
However, Li Shimin finally became an old driver, stroking his long beard and looking at the confident Cheng Sanlang.
Can just blurring the name really solve the problem? If you think about it from someone else’s perspective, can you think about it?
I am a scion of a treacherous and cunning family. I have received news that the imperial examination system has changed and I will be confused this year.
How can I make the examiner understand who I am, and then let the examiner continue to give the green light to a child of a family like myself?
Just when Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was trying hard to think of ways to avoid being troubled by his name.
Li Ke swallowed the dried bamboo rat in his mouth and looked at Brother Chu Bi with a dumbfounded expression. The undisguised jealousy in his eyes looked so naked.
Why have I followed Brother Chu Bi for so many years and endured so many hardships and deficiencies?
Why can't I learn Brother Chu Bi's imaginative way of thinking?
A picture appeared in Li Ke's mind, where the proud children of the aristocratic families were writing the test papers one by one.
They all left their names on it, dried the ink, and handed it to the examiner happily.
Then I saw the examiner smiling understandingly at the children of the aristocratic families, and then directly picking up the pen without hesitation to add glory to the talents of these aristocratic families.
But now, the names they wrote were directly covered and framed with thick sheets of paper.
Then, those descendants of the aristocratic families who had been so proud and high-spirited one by one felt like mourning their heirs, hugging each other and crying...

"My virtuous son-in-law, you are truly worthy of being the Qilin son of the Cheng family. He is so quick-witted and able to come up with such a wonderful solution. It really opens my eyes."
Li Shimin started by praising Cheng Sanlang, then rolled his eyes.
"However, my dear son-in-law, if those children of aristocratic families also leave their names or even imprints in his articles, how can you guard against it?"
"My father-in-law, if you want to guard against these despicable methods, there is nothing you can do, as long as the imperial court is conducting the imperial examination.
Not only do the names need to be anonymized, but also specialized personnel are required to transcribe them.”
"Moreover, the person whose name is unknown is only responsible for anonymity, and then a group of rough old men, ahem, a group of forbidden soldiers will send the test papers to the hands of special transcribers for transcription."
"Afterwards, the imperial guards will send the transcribed test papers to the examiners for review."
"In this way, my son-in-law cannot say that fraud can be eliminated 100%, but at least 99% of the evil methods will not succeed."
Looking at Cheng Sanlang who was chatting in front of him, he listened to him taking out the good stuff one after another.
Li Shimin opened his mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time, let alone say anything, as long as these methods were so comprehensive.
Li Shimin felt that even with his mind, as an eternal wise king, he really couldn't think of any tricks that could continue to exploit loopholes and loopholes.
With a face full of sincerity, Li Ke cupped his fist and saluted Brother Chu Bi, who was bubbling with bad water. He couldn't afford to offend him. He really couldn't afford to offend him...
"Brother Chu Bi, these methods of yours are really cruel. If our country in the Tang Dynasty really implemented such imperial examination methods, we would be in trouble.
The children of those wealthy families are afraid that they will stab villains every day..."
Cheng Chubi laughed. As a professional medical student, I am not afraid of pricking a paper person or a real person.
"So what, we Cheng family are born with the ability to ward off evil spirits, didn't you know?"
Li Ke was right when he thought about it. He also had "Cheng's Family's Picture of Exorcising Evils in the House" in his house, and there were quite a few of them, and they were posted every year.
Li Shimin ignored the two juniors chattering in front of him. At this moment, he was completely attracted by these devious and damaging moves that Cheng Sanlang had come up with.
No, it should be said that these tricks of his blocked those mediocre people from the imperial examination to a large extent.
It provides a fair and impartial imperial examination environment for those who are truly talented and knowledgeable.
"Okay, okay... Here comes your worthy son-in-law. I will give you a drink today."
Li Shimin patted his thigh, picked up his wine glass, and strode to Cheng Sanlang.
"My son-in-law has thanked his father-in-law for the drink, so he will do it first as a mark of respect."
Cheng Chubi held up the wine glass with both hands respectfully, touched one with his father-in-law, raised his neck and drained it in one gulp.
Li Shimin raised his glass to Li Ke again, and then they all drank the wine in their glasses.

Stroking his long beard happily, Li Shimin relaxed his eyebrows and showed a very proud smile.
Today is good, quite good. A rare talent has been recovered after being lost, and these ingenious tricks given by Cheng Sanlang, his beloved son-in-law, are even more unexpected.
"By the time the imperial examinations take place next spring, I will already be able to see that a large number of rural talents will be used by the imperial court."
"My son-in-law (child) congratulates my father-in-law (father)."
The two juniors started a flattering and flattering journey again. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was in a good mood and was photographed leisurely.
After enjoying a few more drinks, Li Shimin stroked his long beard and said to Cheng Sanlang happily.
"My dear son-in-law, if you think there are any omissions or shortcomings in the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty, just tell me."
"This..." Cheng Chubi touched his nose and felt that this was a good opportunity to use a move to disgust a certain high-ranking uncle who disliked the prince.
When Li Shimin saw Cheng Sanlang's eyes wandering around, he thought that his beloved son-in-law was thinking about the omissions and shortcomings of the imperial examination system.
He waved his hand grandly. "Dear son-in-law, don't have any worries. Just say what you say. Even if you say something wrong today, I won't blame you."
"Since my father-in-law has said so, it would really be unreasonable for my son-in-law not to show his shame."
Cheng Chubi poured another glass of wine down his throat and smacked his mouth with unsatisfied intent.
"My son-in-law feels that the civil service department should not be responsible for the imperial examination."
