After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Changsun Wuji, who was next to him, said: "Old Fang, although your suggestion is good, the Spring Festival comes only once every three years and is scheduled in advance. If the time is changed at this time, those who are still
Those scholars who did not arrive at Chang'an City will have to miss this opportunity and have to wait another three years, so I'm afraid some people will be dissatisfied with the imperial court."
Gao Shilian agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, although some scholars from various places have arrived in Chang'an City, it is inevitable that there are still some scholars who have traveled far away. It would be unfair to these scholars if the Ministry of Rites examination is advanced.
!”
Other ministers also held objections.
Li Er said: "Although this is a way to advance spring, it is not perfect. My dear friends, do you have any other suggestions?"
Everyone was silent again.
This matter is indeed very troublesome.
A whole morning passed and no one came up with a good idea.
Li Er had to announce the disbandment of the dynasty, but before dispersing the dynasty, he said to Du Ruhui: "Keming, you will lead Zhongshu Sheng to discuss this matter first, and you must give me an accurate letter tomorrow morning. Now
Now all the states and counties are asking me for officials. If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, I will not be able to eat well or sleep well."
As he said that, Li Er gave Du Ruhui a very meaningful look.
Besides, after Du Ruhui left the court, he felt inexplicably irritable. Instead of returning to Laiguo Palace, he went straight to Dream Group, ready to change his environment and relax.
He felt a headache when he thought of what Li Er had entrusted to him.
There was no solution for this matter in the civil and military dynasties, but they left it to themselves.
Isn't this a clear sign of bullying?
Soon, at noon, someone came over to invite Du Ruhui to have dinner at Banshan College.
Du Ruhui waved his hand: "Tell He'er that I can just eat whatever I want in the canteen of the Dream Group!"
The servant said: "Master, the young master said that if you go to Banshan College, everything will be solved."
"Huh?" Du Ruhui was stunned, "Could it be that He'er has a way... That's right, His Majesty did not leave this matter to Xuanling, but handed it over to me. Obviously, he asked me to ask He'er for help."
Suddenly, Du Ruhui laughed and followed the boy to Banshan College.
Du He had already prepared a table of good wine and food, and would start eating when Du Ruhui arrived.
After the meal was finished, Du Ruhui called Du He aside alone and asked: "He'er, have you guessed what kind of trouble your father has encountered?"
Du He smiled slightly: "Dad, there's no need to guess. The news has already spread in the palace. Your Majesty entrusts this difficult matter to you. Isn't this bullying?"
Du Ruhui pulled up a chair, sat down, and said: "He'er, His Majesty just wants you to come up with an idea about this matter. Please tell me quickly, do you already have a solution?"
Du He nodded, took out a piece of paper, handed it to Du Ruhui, and said, "Dad, I'm not doing this to show dignity to Your Majesty, I just can't bear to see you thinking about such troublesome things at such an old age. This is
You can leave the solution to your Majesty."
Du Ruhui looked at the piece of paper carefully and his eyes suddenly widened.
He patted his head and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of this method before?"
With that said, Du Ruhui hurriedly turned around and walked out.
Lu Bu next to him said: "Master, why should we give His Majesty advice? You are not an official of the imperial court!"
Du He said with a smile: "Don't be so narrow-minded when looking at things. Now, my method is the best. Your Majesty has to adopt it. As long as your Majesty adopts my method...then Banshan College will be able to reach a higher level."
building."
"How to get upstairs?"
"secret!"
…
Royal Palace.
Du Ruhui hurried to the imperial study room of Taiji Palace and presented Du He's method to Li Er.
When Li Er saw Du Ruhui coming back so soon, he thought he didn't have any good ideas, but when he saw it, he was greatly surprised.
Snapped.
Li Eryi slapped the table and said: "Okay...Okay, Ke Ming, is this really Du He's way of solving the official shortage?"
Du Ruhui nodded.
"You... gave birth to a good son!" Li Er said with emotion.
After a long while, Li Er said: "Keming, go and call Du He quickly. The method he presented is very subtle, but there are still many things I don't understand in just two sentences. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to try it out.
"
Du He's paper actually contains two sentences: officials are selected and assigned to various places, one is for inspection and recommendation, and the other is for the imperial examination.
Li Er probably already knows how to do it.
But knowing is one thing, and how to do it is another.
Therefore, Li Er still needs to ask Du He for more detailed information. It is best to have rules and regulations to follow, so that it will be more convenient for the ministers of the DPRK and China to implement them.
However, Du Ruhui hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, regarding this matter... He'er has said that he should submit a specific method. I hope your Majesty can agree to a condition."
"What conditions?"
Du Ruhui reproduced Du He's words verbatim: "Your Majesty, He'er hopes that your Majesty can order some students from the Imperial College to be transferred to Banshan College. All the fees for these students will be waived."
The Imperial College was the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty. Only the best students from all over the country and the descendants of nobles were eligible to attend, and it was the easiest to pass the exams for scholars and Jinshi. As for Banshan College, everyone regarded it as one of Du He's games.
I didn't take it to heart.
If some students from the Imperial College are transferred to Banshan College, I am afraid that it will arouse opposition from the entire court.
Li Er's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Do you know what this means?"
"Of course I know," Du Ruhui said, "but since He'er requested this, I can't do anything about it."
"I know about this matter, but I will never agree to it. Du He is making nonsense. When the time comes, the ministers will object, how should I deal with it?" Li Er said, "Go back and tell Du He, let him
Don't even think about succeeding. I will never agree to his conditions. As for the method to solve the shortage of officials, I will lead everyone to discuss it again. I don't believe that without Du He, this matter cannot be solved."
Du Ruhui brought the news back to Dream Group.
Du He smiled disdainfully: "Then we'll see... Dad, don't worry, His Majesty will definitely agree."
…
In the morning of the next day, Li Er handed over the method given by Du He to the courtiers for discussion.
After a long discussion, no one understood what Du He wanted to do.
That sentence is very simple, and it still reads in plain language, but how to do it specifically? No one knows.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, someone said: "Your Majesty, since this method was presented by the Marquis of Huyi County, he must know the specific method. Why not announce him to the palace and let him tell everyone the specific method."
"Ahem," Li Er was a little embarrassed. He originally thought that if the ministers of the DPRK and China gathered together, they would be able to study it, but he didn't know that they are all a bunch of losers. "I will talk to Du He privately about this matter."
