The conversation in the room continued, and the three people came and left without the two people in the room noticing.
The third prince was struck down by her words and was a little confused.
After a long while, he said with difficulty: "I just think...how dare you? Aren't you afraid of being blamed by your father?"
"Why don't you dare?" Yan Shiyue raised her eyebrows: "Everyone thinks that now that I have been granted the title of Royal Princess, in order to preserve my current status, I should be careful in my words and deeds, right?"
The third prince nodded: "That's true! Isn't it supposed to be like this?"
"Let me tell you a story." Yan Shiyue smiled: "Now, if someone tells you that one of your relatives died and left you an elixir of youth, this news is true, you
Will you be ecstatic?"
The third prince thought for a moment: "Of course!"
"Now you go to that place for the funeral. You only need to bow to get the elixir of immortality. You go there happily... Who knows, before you arrive, you find that the mourning hall is on fire. Your elixir of elixir is on fire."
The medicine also burned in the fire, will you be upset?"
"That's for sure! Isn't it embarrassing to lose something again?"
"Then have you ever thought that you have never gotten this magical elixir of youth? Your life is no different from before you got this news. You have lost nothing."
The third prince was speechless.
She looked at him quietly: "I was originally a little village girl. Even if I lose everything, it's just a return to the origin. Why don't I dare? Even if I die in the end, who knows... it's not the beginning of another life?"
When the third prince came out, he was a little... confused and felt like he had been brainwashed.
He suddenly discovered a fact.
Pan Yun colluded with others and used the imperial court's recruitment of scholars for personal gain. Princess Shouning could not have known about it, so why did she go to the palace to plead for mercy? Still felt aggrieved? Still felt that Tang Shiyue was targeting them? Still felt that Emperor Mingyan should not
Punishment?
Isn't this idea a bit wrong?
He finally came around.
In fact, in this matter, it was not only Princess Shouning and Pan Yun who suffered, but also Yan Shiyue himself.
However, Princess Shouning and Pan Yun "deserved their crimes", but Yan Shiyue himself "injured one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses".
To be honest, if she hadn't already been engaged, if she hadn't already been engaged, if she hadn't been "the emperor's daughter has no worries about getting married", who would have dared to marry her with such a temperament? It's scary, isn't it?
But I have to say, this hand is so beautiful.
It damaged her own reputation, but preserved the reputation of her father and the entire court.
The third prince thought sourly that this move must have helped his father a lot. The next step will be for his father to take action, right?
What he didn't know was that Emperor Ming Yan had already taken action.
In today's morning meeting, Yan Shirui gave a speech. He put forward several suggestions for improving the imperial examination:
First, the method of transcription was proposed.
Because the current examination papers are anonymous, and transcription means rewriting the examination papers and then handing them over to the examiner for review, which eliminates the disadvantages of the examiner identifying handwriting and marks.
Secondly, the method of locking the courtyard was proposed.
Locking the Courtyard means that when the imperial court appoints the chief examiner and other examination officials, it will order the court officials to wait for the order in the court. After receiving the order, they will immediately enter the Gongyuan and will not come out until the examination is over and the ranking is determined. During the process
They are not allowed to see relatives or friends, nor are they allowed to communicate with outsiders through letters.
In other words, before receiving the order, even the examiner himself does not know whether he will be the examiner, which eliminates the disadvantages of "the noble trusts with power, the rich trusts with wealth, and the relatives trusts with affection" and so on.
The third is review, which is review. After marking the papers, another group of people, called reviewers, will be set up to review the successful and unsuccessful examination papers. At the same time, if the failed candidates feel that the marking is unfair,
Department, you can appeal to Shuntian Prefecture within ten days, and the court will also send personnel to examine the file.
Fourth, special examination. In order to avoid suspicion, a special examination room is set up for the children and relatives of the examiner to take the examination.
Finally, a statement was put forward: "the emperor's disciples".
He believed that all students were disciples of the Emperor, and the examiner was just coincidentally doing so and should not quarrel with the Emperor.
As soon as the fold was up, there was a rare moment of silence.
Lin Fujian's face turned gloomy.
Since Pan Yun was detained, officials have been brought in for questioning, including his disciples and disciples.
He has long since stopped caring about these matters personally, but even if the fire fails to burn him in the end, he will definitely lose his troops and wings. And, the most serious thing is that he will lose his Sacred Heart.
Naturally, he didn't think that Yan Shiyue, who was born in a rural area, could think so much. He only hated Pan Yun for acting recklessly and failing to do anything right. Why did he have to go to Deshan Garden! Do he have to get into trouble with her?
Moreover, Yan Shiyue's repeated operations were really ruthless and showed no mercy.
Even this old fox who has been hanging around in the court for a long time feels intimidated...
He has never seen such a person. For a trivial matter, he would risk all his money and dare to come directly to trouble a prince-in-law without even asking Emperor Ming Yan for instructions!
Even people with a slight fortune would think twice about doing things, but she seemed to have no scruples. But she was not the kind of person who relied on favors to be arrogant. In the end, it could only be attributed to her temperament.
Don't rub sand in your eyes.
Even if he saw such a person, he would stay away.
Today, Yan Shirui's excerpt was obviously ordered by Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty. It would be great if the matter could be resolved in this way.
Lin Fujian didn't speak, and the people in Lin's party naturally didn't speak either. Moreover, this move was obviously beneficial to the country. Tang Shiyue was making a fuss in front of him. The others said a few words and then died down. It was a rare pleasure.
.
At the end of the court, Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty summoned Yan Shirui to question him carefully. Yan Shirui smiled and said, "I'm sorry to say that most of these are Yue'er's ideas. There are only grinding surveys and other tests, which I got from arguing with her."
"It's rare." Emperor Ming Yan called a few people and deliberated it carefully before handing it over for review, and at the same time worked out the details.
A few days later, the imperial court issued a proclamation, and almost all the measures proposed by Yan Shirui were adopted and detailed.
Because it was implemented for the first time, the "Tongbang" was still retained as a reference for admission. At the same time, those who won the Jinshi examination were called the emperor's disciples, with the emperor as their teacher.
In this way, the number of cases of favoritism and malpractice will be greatly reduced. Naturally, there will be some who are happy and some who are upset.
In the upper court, the consort Pan Yun paid a fine and was demoted to one-stop service for the common people, and the officials involved were also dismissed one after another...
It is worth mentioning that the court added a new law.
Because the harm of gambling is huge, gamblers who are found will be punished with "a hundred sticks" and their family property will be confiscated. Those who set up gambling to extract profits are subject to the theory of "planning stolen goods and quasi-stealing". Those caught setting up bets in the capital will be sentenced to death, and those who set up bets among the people will be sentenced to death.
Those who are caught will be sent to the army, and those who conceal gamblers without reporting them will be guilty of the same crime.
It was in this unspeakable atmosphere that the ninth year of Mingyan's general examination began.
There are also three examinations in the examination, on the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth day of February respectively. The students will be admitted on the day before and the papers will be submitted on the day after.
Yan Shiyue sent a Yuwen car to take them there, and the candidates who lived in Deshan Garden were also sent by Yuwen car to take the exams for free... But it also created a wave of favorability in the minds of the real talents. (
