The Three Kingdoms

But today Sun Quan's mood is much higher than the weather.

In his hand, he held a dossier for the registration of scholars for the imperial examination. The dossiers were lined up, indicating the origin, origin, and native place of the scholars. The more he looked at his handsome face, the happier he was still smiling.

"Kai Cifu, it seems that the success of the imperial examination this time is beyond Gu's expectation. Gu is too worried!"

The frenzy of scholars caused by the imperial examination was indeed within his expectation. He still had a lot of means to promote the imperial examination this time, but he didn't need it at all.

"This time, it's not just the king who is worrying too much, these old guys in our cabinet are all shocked!"

Kuai Liang stood in front of the three steps of the imperial case, bowed slightly to Sun Quan, and said respectfully: "As soon as the news of the imperial examination came out, it only took six or seven days to cause restlessness among all the scholars. Against the imperial examination policy, no one can stop the current momentum of scholars going to Beijing!"

As soon as the news of the imperial examinations came out, it triggered a frenzy in the entire scholarly society. Scholars from all over the country rushed to the capital to take the exams one after another. This kind of violent reaction, not to mention Sun Quan, even those who have studied all their lives were shocked. extremely.

Before that, they all believed that the imperial examination was a new policy and would be rejected by scholars to some extent, so they were still worried about how to promote the implementation of the imperial examination policy.

However, they, including those great Confucian scholars who are famous all over the world, may have underestimated the saying that they should study and become an official.

Reading is for career.

There is no doubt that how many people have suffered for ten years.Just to be able to stand on top of the temple overnight, for fame and fortune, for ideals, and for the glory of the ancestors.

In recent years, the policy of promoting filial piety and integrity has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the court.At the same time, it also depresses the hearts of scholars. There are many scholars who have not been asked in ten years of cold windows. Therefore, once the imperial examination policy is released, it seems to be a torrent that is out of control.

Wu Guochaotang probably did not expect that the imperial examination policy would trigger a manic mentality among scholars who wanted to become an official.

"fair enough!"

Sun Quan's eyes were burning.Shining brightly like a bright sun, he smiled and said loudly: "At least we can reduce the waste of our propaganda methods."

"Your Majesty, it turns out that we are not as far-sighted as your Majesty!" Kuai Liang was convinced of Sun Quan now. This twenty-year-old monarch will always have abilities that he doesn't know.

This time, there were not many people who were optimistic about the imperial examination at the beginning, and some officials even thought that Sun Quan was unconventional.But it turned out that Sun Quan was right.

Regarding the country of Wu, Sun Quan, the great king, sees it clearly and much more clearly than these old guys who think they are experienced.

"Stop flattering Gu, Gu will be proud!"

Sun Quan showed a satisfied smile, waved his hands, and then said: "Kai Cifu, this is Wu's first imperial examination, there must be many trivial things, and there will be some accidents in the middle. The most important thing Director Cai Si has a tough temper and can't tolerate a little sand in his eyes, you know that.

He is the main examiner, for the sake of fairness and justice in the imperial examination.But he definitely can't take care of the above aspects, and you and Gu Yong, as the deputy examiners, must help him improve all aspects of things, and make this imperial examination perfect, and there must be no mistakes! "

The policy of imperial examination is now just a trial.If it is completely completed, it will be the national policy of Wu State, which will be passed down from generation to generation in the future.

There is no room for surprise in this matter.

"promise!"

Kuai Liang's eyes were blazing, and he nodded.

He understood the weight of the imperial examination this time.

It is conceivable that the first imperial examination will have an effect on Wu Guochaotang. Once the imperial examination is successfully completed this time, it will replace the system of promoting filial piety and integrity and become the system for electing Wu Guochaotang officials.

Although Cai Yong was the main examiner in the imperial examination this time, Cai Yong's temper is notoriously rigid in the whole Wu country, and he doesn't know how to be flexible. To run the imperial examination well, not only a fair and just ruling is needed, but sometimes Also loosen the boundaries a little bit.

After all, the imperial examination is not only an examination for scholars, but also a way to balance the academies and aristocratic families of all parties.

When the water is clear, there are no fish.

If the relationship in this aspect is not well adjusted, there will definitely be problems in the imperial examination.

There are many elders in the cabinet, and he is not the only second assistant in the cabinet. Sun Quan gave him the deputy power of the imperial examination this time, in fact, because he had just entered the cabinet, so that he could have some political achievements and gain a firm foothold in the cabinet.

If things are done well, he will be considered as the second assistant to the cabinet.

"correct!"

Sun Quan suddenly remembered one more thing. He looked at Kuai Liang and said, "There is one more thing. You need to take the lead in building an Imperial Academy under the cabinet!"

"Hanlin Academy?"

When Kuai Liang heard this, he felt a little confused.

"Kai Cifu, excellent reading does not mean that he will be an official, and a perfect exam does not mean that he can become a good official for the country and the people. After the imperial examination, all the students on the list must stay in the Imperial Academy for a full year. You seniors who have worked hard in the court all their lives will personally train them in how to be officials."

Sun Quan paused, and continued: "As for the main duties of the Imperial Academy, the cabinet is mainly engaged in miscellaneous work. The establishment of the Imperial Academy can also be regarded as a supplementary source for officials from all over the country. The Imperial Academy will be directly managed by the cabinet, but you have to work with the officials. The communication between the ministries is good, and I don't want any conflicts between the ministries and the cabinet in this regard!"

"understand!"

Kuai Liang listened very carefully, and he was not stupid, so he naturally understood Sun Quan's meaning of establishing the Imperial Academy, but he sighed in his heart: "Your Majesty's deeds are indeed carefully thought out, and everything is considered. This is what I can't wait for. !"

Before the imperial examination was held, Sun Quan was able to think so long-term, and indeed he had an extraordinary vision. This is the rhythm of taking one step and seeing three steps.

There are many scholars, but not many can become excellent bureaucrats.

In this regard, a buffer time is indeed needed.

He, an old Jiang Hu and the old guys in the cabinet, didn't think of this before, but Sun Quan made it clear to him directly.

"Okay, you don't want to flatter Gu either. Go do your own thing!"

Sun Quan waved his hand, handed the file to him, and said flatly, "The preliminary examination will be held in August. You should communicate with the Ministry of Industry. We will choose a site in Jinling City and build a large examination room. In addition, the cabinet will issue examination questions. Scholars who come here must also make proper arrangements. Poorer scholars should not be neglected, arrange suitable inns and post stations, and screen the examiners who invigilate the exam... These are all things, look at your time It sounds relaxed, but it's actually a little urgent!"

"Then I will leave first!"

Kuai Liang nodded, and after saluting, he left the Imperial Study Room with some hasty steps and headed towards the cabinet hall. The imperial examination was in September, and now it's only mid-June.But for the first imperial examination, things were too busy for three months.

After Sun Quan reviewed more than a dozen memorials after Kuai Liang left, there were not many things going on in various places recently. After six, the cabinet, there were not many memorials submitted to his imperial case.

He put down the pen holder, loosened his shoulders, looked a little tired, and stood up to relax his muscles and bones.Then he took a sip of water, looked at Cao Yang standing in front of the imperial court and asked, "Cao Yang, what time is it now?"

"My lord, it's almost past Shen time ([-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m.)!" Cao Yang heard.Looking at the scale of the big hourglass next to him, he said in a low voice, "It's almost time!"

"Youshi?" Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's time to go home!"

Now his daughter-in-law is pregnant, during this time he leaves work earlier so that he can go back and be with her.

"Your Majesty, you said in the morning that you were going to the Military Aircraft Pavilion!"

Cao Yang thought about it.Looking at the happy look on Sun Quan's face, he could only bite the bullet and remind a certain king who was homesick.

"Military Air Pavilion? Cao Yang, you are doing your best, what a reminder!"

When Sun Quan heard the words, he suddenly remembered that the Jingzhou camp had already dispatched troops to Hanzhong, and the Military Aircraft Pavilion was making detailed plans, so he went to take a look in the morning.

"Hehe, this is the job of his subordinates!" Cao Yang smiled mischievously. He was not just an eunuch, but in terms of status, he was Sun Quan's secretary, arranging Sun Quan's day trip.

"Well, things can't be postponed until tomorrow, I'd better take a trip!"
