The whole world is an NPC

Chapter 388

Xueying was depressed, so she left someone to stay, and was asked three times a day, is it really annoying?

"My cousin came to the door. As a junior, I naturally have to treat him well. I don't know that the Yang family has other arrangements."

"Just stay here, and ask him when he will enter the palace. I haven't seen him for a few years." The old lady saw that Xueying was fine, and she didn't know whether she should be happy or unhappy for a while.

"Oh, I'll send someone to ask when I go back." Xueying said lightly.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.Since he said so frankly to send someone to ask instead of asking himself, it means that the two of them have no personal relationship.Fortunately, there was no scandal.But after thinking about it, the old lady is unhappy again. My nephew is not bad, is he?Coming from an aristocratic family, my natal family, good-looking and talented, why do you look down on me like that?

Seeing the old lady's face changing back and forth, Xueying felt powerless. What exactly does this old lady want to do?

"Enter him well and don't let him get hungry or sick."

"Yes, Grandma!"

"Do you know what candidates need to prepare?"

Xueying sweated, she shook her head.

"Ask someone to help him get ready."

"Ok."

"At that time, if you send him to the examination room, maybe something will happen to him."

"Oh, okay!" Xueying thought: I will send 100 people to escort him there.

The old lady told her for a while, Xueying wanted to die.

The old lady took great care of her nephew.

"I asked him to come out to be an official, but he still wants to take the exam. He is really disobedient." The old lady entered the complaining mode again.

Xueying felt like dying again.

Seeing that she was so impatient to listen to Yang Heng's affairs, the old lady was both happy and unhappy, so she dragged her to tell a lot about Yang Heng.

An hour later, Xueying finally left the palace with a gray face.Old lady, you can talk too much.

Even dialog boxes can't save her.

Xueying doesn't use dialogs easily now, mainly because Ms. Yuanzhenjiao's dialogs can be very deceptive sometimes.

Just like the old lady's questioning just now, if she changed her original body, the old lady would be so angry that she would vomit blood in minutes.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, Xueying sent someone to convey the queen's question to Yang Heng.Then send Chang Shi to prepare the things that Yang Heng will use in the examination room.

There is no need for her to do this kind of thing herself. As long as she gives the instructions, there are people who understand.

On the day of entering the examination room, Xueying gritted her teeth and personally brought twenty guards to escort Yang Heng into the examination room.

Yang Heng didn't feel that he was being escorted at all, but he was in a very good mood.He was a little flattered, he never thought that Xueying would send him off in person.

Countless people in front of the examination room secretly looked at Yang Heng, guessing who he was and what his background was, it was actually delivered by the eldest princess herself.

Yang Heng entered the examination room safely, Xue Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sent the plague god in.

In the afternoon, Wu Taizu came to see her again.

When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Taizu Wu asked, "I heard that Yang Heng lives at your place?"

"Well, I sent him into the examination room today."

"What kind of official position do you think Yang Heng should take?"

"Ask me?" Xueying asked in surprise.

"Tell me, I want to hear your opinion."

"There are two kinds of official positions that Yang Heng is suitable for. One is the editor of the Imperial Academy. He can read books well, so he can do well in editing books. The second is to be a censor. If the censor is not afraid of offending people, what Yang Heng is most afraid of is Offend."

"Your opinion is very interesting, why can't you appoint him to be some real power officer?"

"Just him? To be an official with real power, you must first communicate with people, and secondly, you must be able to cooperate with others. His temper can't handle it, he is too cold and too arrogant."

"Isn't he talented?"

"A good book doesn't mean you have a talent. Reading and being an official are completely different things."

"If you say that, what's the use of the imperial examination?"

"Imperial examinations are really useless. It was all the former emperor's idea to fool the scholars, and then the scholars fooled each other."

"How do you say that?"

"People who have read books have ideas and like to express their own opinions on things. These opinions and ideas are not necessarily what the emperor wants. So what should we do? Take the exam, and you can become an official if you pass the exam, so of course scholars will swarm Come to the exam. The exam will test a few fixed books, and then all the scholars in the world will study these few books, and forget all the other books. In order to pass the exam, they dare not have their own ideas. In this way, the easiest The emperor used one imperial examination to catch all the scholars who incited the hearts of the people. This is what the imperial examination does. Whether or not you pass the examination has nothing to do with whether you have talent or whether you can be a good official." Xueying made a long speech.

Wu Taizu heard it, as if he suddenly discovered a new world.Nodding repeatedly, he murmured, "So that's how it is!"

"Grandfather, you are the emperor now, and you have to look at things from the emperor's point of view. You are no longer a general, nor a scholar, nor a businessman, nor anyone else."

"Yes! Xue'er, you are right." Wu Taizu said seriously.

"The imperial examination can only be used as a reference. The official position with real power mainly depends on the ability to handle affairs and the ability to cooperate. An illiterate person may be a good official, but a well-educated person may be a muddled official. The most important thing to be an emperor It is not force or knowledge and morality, but knowing people and doing their jobs well, and making the most favorable, most appropriate, and practical judgment.”

"Not bad!"

"You see, the founding emperors often had humble backgrounds and no education, but they managed the country very well. But the descendants of later generations, because they believed in the words of the scholars, followed the advice of the scholars. The more they learned, the more stupid they became, and the country became more and more poor. Poor, and eventually replaced by others. This is the result of not being able to distinguish the difference between an emperor and a scholar."

"Makes sense, makes sense."

"One hundred and one useless is a scholar, and it is better to have no books than to believe in books."

"Do you still want to hold the imperial examination?"

"Of course we have to do it. Now we are the emperors. We just need to pay attention to the methods we use."

"Speaking!"

"Grandfather! I'm thirsty."

"Serve tea! Hurry up!" The old man shouted to the eunuch to pour tea.After pouring the tea, he drove the eunuch out again.

Xueying drank tea and continued: "The top three in the imperial examination are usually nerds who are stupid in reading. This kind of people should be thrown into book editing, or thrown into the Ministry of Rites, Guozijian, and raised in useless positions. Those who can really do things are usually after twenty."

"why would you say so?"

"Only by studying hard and remembering every word that the predecessors said, can you get into the top [-] in the exam. Most of these people are stupid in reading, they will not change their minds, they are useless, and they will not be good officials. And two Those after the top ten are those who have their own ideas, and because they have their own ideas, if their views are not in line with the sage's words, their grades will not be good. This kind of people will know how to adapt and will be willing to change."

"Well, that makes sense."

"Again, like the exam questions, you can ask the candidates to write some problems that they will encounter in practice. For example, if you encounter a drought, you can see whether the candidates have the ability to deal with practical problems. The selected ones will not He will be an idiot who studies hard books."

"good idea."
