The First Family of the Tang Dynasty Chapter 2605 10% of the imperial examination system is reformed, how can there be a way of life for the children of my aristocratic family?
Chapter 2605 10% of the imperial examination system is reformed, how can there be a way of life for the children of my aristocratic family?
Because he has said before that the Ministry of Personnel does not have enough manpower and time to carry out restructuring, and now, His Majesty has chosen the Ministry of Rites.
If I take the initiative to snatch it, I will be fighting with His Majesty.
Fortunately, at this time, Chu Suiliang gritted his teeth and strode forward.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites is also full of worries."
"Of course I know this very well." Li Shimin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, stroked his long beard, and said slowly and leisurely.
"Qing Chu, please tell me, what are the important tasks of the Ministry of Rites?"
"..." Facing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who suddenly became unconcerned, Chu Sui's conscience skipped a beat, but he could only brace himself and continue.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites is under the jurisdiction of the Rites Department, the Temple Department, the Food Department, and the Host and Guest Department. It is in charge of etiquette, sacrifices, diplomacy, and court appointments..."
Li Shimin smiled and nodded slightly, then asked again.
"Qing Chu has a really good memory, so I would like to ask Qing Chu, which one is more important than the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel?"
"..." Chu Suiliang opened his mouth, but after all, he did not dare to talk nonsense in front of all the important officials in the palace.
"Your Majesty, the official department is more important, so you are the head of the six departments."
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth raised meaningfully.
"It is precisely because the Ministry of Rites handles the least important matters that I feel that the Ministry of Rites is the most suitable."
That Doulu Kuan couldn't wait to interrupt, his face full of earnestness.
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace and your Majesty's trust. I would like to ask Your Majesty, if you don't know, which department in our Ministry of Rites should be responsible for presiding over the imperial examinations and selecting scholars?"
Li Shimin stroked his long beard and said slowly and authentically.
"Therefore, since the method of selecting scholars through the imperial examination needs to be improved, it is necessary to let the world know that the imperial court attaches great importance to the selection of scholars through the imperial examination."
"Furthermore, I think that the merit examiner Wai Lang has a humble position and is easily offended by others. In addition, he cannot refuse requests."
"Therefore, I have decided that the Second Officer of the Ministry of Rites and the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites will preside over the Spring Examination."
After saying this, Li Shimin did not ask the ministers if they had any opinions. Instead, he pursed his lips tightly and looked around with eagle eyes. His determined and resolute expression made all the ministers bow their heads silently.
When leaving Wencheng Hall, Yiqian Wenwu was in such a turbulent mood that it was difficult to calm down.
Your Majesty's method is really surprising. At first, I thought it could delay the reform of the imperial examination system.
But as a result, not only could it not be delayed, even the important matters of the imperial examination, which were originally handled by the Ministry of Personnel, were entrusted by His Majesty to the hands of the Ministry of Rites.
For the Ministry of Rites, which originally had few affairs, it was definitely an unexpected surprise.
Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Personnel is the most important, followed by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, followed by the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Work. As for the Ministry of Rites, it is the one that lags behind.
But now, after receiving the important task of presiding over the imperial examination, it can be said that the status of the Ministry of Rites will be improved.
#####
The affairs have been decided, and it is natural that it is inconvenient for the ministers to stay for a long time.
And His Majesty's uncle, the most outstanding figure in the Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Guogong, and the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, Sun Wuji, were walking slowly.
There was almost no emotion or anger on his face, but everyone understood that even if the officials lost the important responsibility of the imperial examination.
The Ministry of Personnel, which is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion, promotion, conferment, transfer and other matters of civil servants all over the world, is still the head of the six departments.
But losing the job of presiding over the imperial examination means that His Majesty is dissatisfied with his shirk.
Even if His Majesty didn't reveal it openly, how could these old officials not be aware of it?
Chu Suiliang, who had a very close relationship with Changsun Wuji, only followed Changsun Wuji silently, and stopped talking several times.
But seeing Changsun Wuji's expression of keeping strangers away from him, he finally swallowed what he wanted to say.
"Look at you, Old Cheng, I created an opportunity for you. Who would have thought that you, Xian brother, didn't know how to seize the opportunity, and ended up taking advantage of the guys in the Ministry of Rites."
General Cheng patted Li Ji next to him and said with an expression that said, "My dear brother, you are really not up to par."
Li Ji turned dark and rolled his eyes.
"Old Cheng, please stop talking nonsense. My little brother, I am in charge of the Ministry of War. I am in charge of the promotion and demotion of military attachés and soldiers, as well as military preparation. I can't get in touch with the recruitment of soldiers."
"Your Majesty did this today, tsk tsk... someone must be unhappy in his heart."
A group of military officials were laughing and joking as they walked, but the group of civil servants speeded up their pace and tried their best to stay away from these vulgar warriors.
Compared with those military ministers, many civil servants have already begun to worry.
The aliasing system weakens the chances of mediocre people from aristocratic families entering officialdom.
And depriving them of the travel papers is equivalent to making it difficult for the wealthy families to control and control the poor students as they did in the past.
As long as they rely on their true abilities, they will have a high chance of being admitted and passing the exam.
And that Doulu Kuan looked so high-spirited and cheerful at the moment, chatting with the two ministers of etiquette beside him.
The Minister of Rites, Hu Shilang, was still in disbelief. He never thought that such a great trust would actually fall on his shoulders.
In the past, I was in charge of those pretty young ladies in the teaching department. Now, I finally have the right to manage those bright-looking and talented people.
The reform of the imperial examination system will not only benefit the poor scholars in the world, but also the Ministry of Rites will have a higher status.
Therefore, Hu Shilang and Doulu Shangshu decided to abandon their previous prejudices and unite closely.
No matter what, you must put on a ferocious food-protecting posture, and never let other wild dogs take away the fat in your mouth.

Arriving outside the palace gate, Changsun Wuji stood still, saw the look from Cu Suiliang next to him, waved his hand towards him to indicate that he was fine, and got straight into the carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, Changsun Wuji's face became increasingly ugly, and his right to preside over the imperial examination fell by the wayside.
Not only was the power in his hands lost, but more importantly, His Majesty was doing this in front of the civil and military ministers.
Tell himself that he is unhappy with his attitude of shirk and delay.
However, he who has become too close to aristocratic families has accepted the reform of the imperial examination system decisively.
That is tantamount to pushing yourself to be on the opposite side of the aristocratic family. It is definitely bad news for yourself and the Changsun family.
After all, he and His Highness the Crown Prince were already on the same level. If he didn't join forces with the noble family, he would be in trouble.
After a hundred years, Your Majesty, how can he have his own place in the court?
But now, His Majesty has deprived the Ministry of Civil Affairs of its power to preside over the imperial examination, and related to the previous incident of His Majesty sending people to the Examination Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to review the examination papers.
His Majesty's attitude clearly showed that there was a gap between him and himself. At present, Changsun Wuji had no idea how to remedy the situation.
But those ministers and servants who came from aristocratic families were still angry and unwilling to give up outside the palace gate.
"What should I do? If the imperial examination system is changed to 10%, how can the children of my family have a way to survive?"
