At the beginning, I awakened the Taobao system

This remark was like thunder, which made all officials dizzy.

Chen Yi is ruthless enough, not someone to wait for nothing.

Forcing him to take the risk and choose to burn everything together is definitely not what Xiao Yu, Wang Gui, Li Gang and others would like to see.

Li Shimin read the poems, glanced back and forth at the court officials, and called the names one after another through Chen Yi's poems: "Cui Yushi, Wei Shilang, Li Taifu, Du Pushe, Zheng Shaojian... that's enough!"

A series of official positions, only three provinces and six aristocratic families accounted for more than ten people.

All the officials who were named were suddenly chilled. When things got to this point, it was already hard evidence that the aristocratic family occupied the court. Du Ruhui stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I support the imperial examination."

"The ministers and others support the imperial examination."

Li Gang, Wang Gui, Wei Ting and other aristocratic families all agreed.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and there were many officials from aristocratic families.

On weekdays, everyone tacitly, neither mentioned nor slandered, the emperor relied on his ministers to govern the country, and always got along in harmony.

Now Chen Yi is blatantly pointing out that if the emperor has any scruples, like in the early years of Zhenguan, he demoted the officials and the family was kicked out of the court, the consequences would be disastrous.

What's more, the imperial examinations implemented by the previous dynasty are far from mature, and the admission rate is extremely low, so there is no need for anonymity.

Before taking the exam, scholars often prepare excellent poems and essays in advance, pay homage to them everywhere, and ask nobles and celebrities to recommend them, and the right to speak is still in the hands of aristocratic scholars.

Now that the matter has come to this point, if I sing against the emperor again, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit.

The anger on Li Shimin's face gradually dissipated, and he said playfully, "This meeting agreed again, why did I suddenly figure it out?"

A group of hard-nosed guys, who refuse to listen to their persuasion, have to make their conflicts public, causing the monarch and his ministers to separate themselves, how cheap is it!
"Your Majesty, after careful consideration, I feel that what Zhongshu Ling said is not unreasonable." Li Gang said loudly.

"That's right, I think the imperial court should absorb fresh talents, advise His Majesty, and be loyal to the imperial court." Wang Wa said.

"Okay, since it makes sense, let's talk about the imperial examination system." Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, looked at Chen Yi and said, "Chen Yi, you propose to implement the imperial examination system, and tell us your specific strategy."

Baiguan couldn't refuse, and quietly cast their eyes on Chen Yi, praying that his strategy would not be too harsh.

Chen Yi stepped forward and said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, the implementation of the imperial examination is not difficult, nor is it simple. For example, medicine, engineering, business.

For the officials selected in the literary examination, poetry should not be the main focus, but the strategy of governing the country should be the main focus. The selected virtuous talents should start from small officials with swords and pens, and the capable ones will be gradually promoted.

As for martial arts, following the example of the pre-Qin period, no matter where the heroes come from, they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds on the battlefield.

Engineering is mainly about improvement or invention, such as Quyuanli, which selects talents for the Ministry of Industry and improves the productivity of Datang.

Business, select all kinds of economic talents, make money for the court, and better govern the various places.

Medical skills, select better doctors, who can be responsible for the royal family and take care of ordinary people. According to my idea, in the next few years, when there are enough doctors, try to build a large medical center in Chang'an to treat more people.

Of course, in order to prevent people from cheating for personal gain in the exams, the Ministry of Punishment or the Ministry of Officials should set up a supervisory department to ensure the fairness of the imperial examinations and conduct quarterly assessments of officials from all over the country. This can not only prevent corruption and accept bribes, but also better select outstanding talents. "

Li Shimin listened with gusto, and noticed that Chen Yi stopped suddenly, and asked in surprise, "Why didn't you say anything?"

Chen Yi's suggestions often make him feel refreshed.

The imperial examination plan proposed today, except that the merchant's entry into an official position made it difficult for him to choose money, the overall proposal is quite in line with the situation of the imperial court.

Wang Gui and other officials became more horrified the more they heard it. It was unprecedented for merchants to become officials.

For a while, each quickly thought about the refutation strategy.

"Thought so much."

Chen Yi didn't have a long narrative, but only answered lightly, and asked with great interest: "Your Majesty, what do you want to add?"

"You're thoughtful, obviously longer-term than I am." Li Shimin praised without hesitation and said with a smile on his face.

After all, the plan proposed by Chen Yi covers civil, military, economic and commercial, etc., which is a step further than the previous dynasties.

"Your Majesty, merchants take the imperial examination. This is an unprecedented thing. You are making nonsense, you are making nonsense, Your Majesty reconsiders." Wang Gui refuted loudly. He was forced to make concessions and agreed to promote the imperial examination and let poor families participate in government affairs, but it does not mean that cats and dogs can come and go. court.

"That's right, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have low status, how can they participate in the scientific examination, and they should be strictly prohibited from entering and leaving the imperial court. My minister does not recommend merchants to take the imperial examination." Wei Zheng said.

Wei Zheng temporarily changed his mind and supported merchants to participate in the imperial examination. In an instant, the officials of the family with weak talents seemed to be revived, and all of them seemed to be fighting with high spirits.

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

"Your Majesty, it is indeed debatable for merchants to become officials." Changsun Wuji said cautiously.

In the past dynasties, merchants were of low status, and rashly allowing merchants to participate in scientific research would inevitably break the balance between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and cause great turmoil.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the two servants on the left and right of the cabinet did not express their views. They believed in Chen Yi's vision, but merchants had never entered an official career, and the pros and cons were unpredictable.

Chen Yi paid close attention to the changes in the court.

Grass.

Wei Tongzi, the eldest grandson and the old turtle turned their backs.

Ugh!
In the end, he carried everything alone.

Chen Yi sighed lightly, still full of fighting spirit, holding the imperial wat and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties never had an imperial examination system. ? If you don’t even have the courage to try, you will be complacent, you will be locked in a prison, and you will not be able to escape the law of the death of generations in the past.”

In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examinations had not yet been finalized, and there was a lot of room for manipulation, and he was almost allowed to dress up. Therefore, Chen Yi hoped to change the imperial examinations that were mainly literary examinations in later generations. "My dear friends, what Chen Yi said is reasonable. If the former dynasty can reform, the Great Tang will still be able to."

Li Shimin cares most about outsiders comparing him with others, he firmly believes that he must do better than Yang Guang.

When it doesn't hurt the country, he supports Chen Yi's innovative strategy and hopes to listen to Chen Yi's various suggestions.

"Your Majesty, this statement is unreasonable."

Wei Zheng blatantly and loudly sang against Li Shimin.

Staring sideways at Chen Yi beside him: "Zhong Shu Ling, merchants and businessmen are officials, it is definitely not a good strategy."

"Ha ha……"

Chen Yi laughed twice: "Uncle, why can't merchants participate in the imperial examination? Compared with them, uncle is more proficient in economics or financial management. Merchants who become officials can better clarify various economic relationships and promote the growth of the Tang Dynasty."

Wei Zheng became anxious, and said sharply: "Businessmen participating in the imperial examination will easily lead to collusion between politics and business."

"Uncle thinks that the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Officials are decorations, or are they vegetarians? Besides, the court expressly stipulates that officials are not allowed to engage in business, and even I gradually hand over business to my family. Besides, the family still collects money and colludes with power and money.

This is the result of the lack of court decrees, not the cause, uncle must not put the cart before the horse. "

"This…"

Wei Zheng stammered.

Seeing this, Chen Yi took advantage of the situation and said: "History has proved that the nine-rank Zhongzheng system has accelerated the rise of aristocratic families, and it is no longer suitable for the Tang Dynasty. At present, the imperial court needs a new talent selection mechanism, and the imperial examination system is in the exploratory stage. The purpose is to select all kinds of talents for the imperial court. , Naturally encountered various problems in this process, we should take the essence and discard the dross, don't uncle and colleagues even have the courage to try?"

"Good fight."

Du Ruhui praised in a clear voice.

Xu Xu went out to look at all the officials, and said confidently: "At present, the imperial court really needs a new talent selection mechanism. Whether it is good or bad, I should try it. If it works, I should stick to it for a long time. Make up. Your Majesty, I support the Zhongshu Order."

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees."

Among the generals who had been watching the show, Li Jing came out holding the imperial wat.

"Your Majesty, maybe what Zhong Shuling said is right."

Wei Zheng reluctantly said that he had learned how powerful Chen Yi was, and that Chen Yi had all sorts of righteous reasons to respond to him. In terms of trolling alone, Chen Yi was an out-and-out big troll. He felt ashamed of himself for this. The key Chen Yi was justified.

At this moment, he would definitely not be able to slander Chen Yi.

Du Ruhui and Li Jing both supported Chen Yi, and Chen Yi claimed that the imperial examination was still in the exploratory stage, so he had no good plan for a while.
