Wang Qing paused, looked up and said calmly: "If your Highness wants to truly control Fengxiang, it is not difficult to take back the power from King Xiping and King Nan'an, but it is rare how to take power from the gentry. Nowadays, most of the officials in the prefectures and counties of Fengxiang are from the gentry. These scholars manage local affairs and hold real power, but they are loyal to their own families instead of the royal family. In the long run, these local forces are bound to grow stronger and the world will be divided again. So how to take back the power from these noble children? That's the most important thing."

"You can find this defect, but what is the solution?"

Wang Qing was silent for a moment and said: "Caomin does have a law, changing the gentry to recruit talents for the imperial examination."

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"Selecting a scholar through the imperial examination is to select officials through the examination," Wang Qing explained in detail how the imperial examination questions were drawn, how the examination room was organized, how it was conducted, and how the examination papers were graded. Feng Qiyue listened, and his expression became more and more serious.

After listening to Wang Qing's words, Feng Qiyue's eyes turned strange and said: "The gentry has always been a serious problem. I have been trying to solve the problem of the gentry for so many years but I can't find a way. Now Qing's method can not only disintegrate half of the threat of the gentry. It also gave the poor family the opportunity to enter the court, and there will be no one to use in the future." Feng Qiyue walked up to Wang Qing and took Wang Qing's hand, "If you can meet Qing sooner, it will be a disaster for the nobles. How can it bother Gu so far, Qing's talent is far superior to the world's students, it is Gu's luck to have your help."

Wang Ting listened to what Feng Qiyue said, looked down at the overlapping hands of the two, and said: "The crown prince is too much, there is one person whose talent is far above the grassroots, and the grasslands are in trouble."

"Oh, who is she?" Feng Qiyue asked in surprise.

"It's the tutor," Wang Qing said after a pause.

"Can teach a disciple like you, how can the teacher be so amazing, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to meet the teacher?" Feng Qiyue said.

Wang Qing slightly lowered his eyes and said: "My teacher has been living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, never born, and doesn't like to be disturbed by others. It is also a coincidence that Caomin met my teacher. I was taught by my teacher. My teacher once told Caomin not to mention her name outside."

"Your master, she is an old man who stays far away from the world of mortals. I will not disturb you rashly. I only hope to meet each other by fate in the future." Feng Qiyue patted Wang Qing's hand, but Feng Qiyue thought in her heart that she would see her in the future Seeing Wang Qing's master, Wang Ting smiled lightly and did not speak.

After the conversation between the two of them the next day, Feng Qiyue waited for Wang Qing to get closer day by day, and often talked with Wang Qing at night. , Wang Qing also gradually convinced the crown lady, and the two discussed how to implement the method of opening a subject to obtain scholars for a few days, and gradually figured out the rules.

This day, Feng Qiyue brought Wang Qing to the suburbs of Beijing, and walked to a small courtyard surrounded by a fence. Although it was a little crude, it was filled with vitality everywhere. Although it was early spring, unknown plants were already blooming on the fence. Xiaohua, two small fields were opened near the fence in the south of the yard. The things planted in the fields have sprouted, showing a little greenness, and there are a few chickens running around looking for food on the ground.

Feng Qiyue pushed open the fence door and led Wang Qing into the yard, she relaxed and called out to Master with a smile on her face, and a laughing curse came from the room: "Stinky girl, don't come in yet!"

When the two entered the room, they saw an elegant middle-aged woman looking at them with a smile. She saw them and said, "Girl, I brought someone here today."

"Master, this is Wang Qing," Feng Qiyue introduced to the master.

"Come over and sit down. Today is a coincidence for you to come. I caught a few fish for my teacher yesterday, and today I will make fish soup for you." She looked at Wang Qing carefully, nodded inwardly, and liked Wang Qing very much. The attitude became more amiable.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten the fish soup made by the master. Today Gu and Ah Qing have a good time," Feng Qiyue said expectantly. Wang Ting was a little surprised when he heard the conversation between the two. So majestic and dignified in front of others.

"Today is full, everything is going well for you recently," the lady asked with a smile.

"Today I just have something to discuss with the master."

"Let's talk after dinner, talk after dinner, you and girl Qing go to the kitchen to clean up the fish first," the lady waved her hands.

"Yes, master," Feng Qiyue said helplessly, Feng Qiyue had always known her master's temper, so she could only follow her master's wishes.

The two entered the kitchen, Feng Qiyue rolled up his sleeves and fished out the fish from the water basin, skillfully dissected the scales of the fish, Wang Qing took a plate and put it in Feng Qiyue's hand, and also fished out a fish from the basin, But the fish slid out of Wang Qing's hand and fell to the ground with its tail flicking.

Feng Qiyue grabbed the fish and said with a smile, "Ah Qing never killed a fish, did he?"

"No." Wang Qing said in a low voice.

While killing the fish neatly, Feng Qiyue said: "I did a lot of this kind of thing when I was studying alone with the master, and you will get used to it in the future."

"Your Highness, that lady is Fang Ruzi," Wang Qing asked.

Feng Qiyue put the cleaned fish on the plate and shook the water drops on her hands, saying: "I know it, you can guess it."

Wang Qing handed Feng Qiyue a handkerchief, Feng Qiyue took it and wiped her hands and said, "Master, she likes to travel around the world, and she just returned to the capital recently. This courtyard is the residence of Master in the capital."

"With the help of Fang Ruzi, it will be easier to carry out the imperial examination," Wang Qing said.

"That's right, that's why Gu brought you here today, let's go, help the master turn over the two plots, and discuss this matter with the master after dinner," Feng Qiyue said.

After the meal, the three of them sat around the table, and Fang Jia asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Master, I just learned a technique that can weaken the power of the nobles," Feng Qiyue said.

Fang Jia smiled and said, "Let's talk about it as a teacher."

"Use the imperial examination to select scholars to replace the gentry's examination of talents." Feng Qiyue explained the imperial examination system in this way.

After hearing this, Fang Jia clapped his palms and smiled, "Miao Miao, this method is really wonderful, who thought of it?"

"It's Ah Qing," Feng Qiyue pointed at Wang Qing.

"Not bad, girl Qing is very good. As expected, I read it right. Girl Qing has the image of a capable minister. With you assisting Qiyue, Qiyue is like a tiger with wings," Fang Jia looked at Wang Qing and said with a smile.

Wang Qing respectfully bowed his head and said, "Fang Ruzi has won the prize."

"Qiyue, do you want me to preside over the imperial examination for you," Fang Jia asked with a smile, like a fox.

"Exactly," Feng Qiyue nodded.

"To hold the imperial examination, I alone is not enough, you have to invite another person"

"It's Yan Ruzi?" Feng Qiyue guessed.

"That's right, as a teacher, he was born in a poor family, and he still has some influence among the children of the poor family, but if he wants the children of the noble family to participate in the imperial examination, he still needs to be Yan Mu. The old lady Yan Mu has the most reputation, so it is not difficult to invite her to come to Beijing. "

"May I invite my aunt to come to Beijing," Feng Qiyue asked, Feng Qiyue's aunt Chen Siyuan is also one of the great Confucianists, and is currently in Yongcheng, Feng Qiyue hopes that her aunt can also come to Beijing to help.

Fang Jia smiled and said, "Can you move her?"

Feng Qiyue shook her head and said, "It's better not to bother aunt."

"Implementing the imperial examination requires a long-term plan. Don't rush it. When everything is ready, you can go to Yongcheng in person. You might as well mention my name then." Fang Jia knew the strict character, so he mentioned Feng Qiyue.

"Gu understands," Feng Qiyue nodded.

"You guys go back, it won't be too late to find a teacher after you invite the old lady Yan Mu." The meal has been eaten and the matter has been discussed, and Fang Jia didn't want to keep the two of them, so he just drove them away went back.

"Yes, master." Knowing that her master loves to be pure, Feng Qiyue simply took Wang Qing to leave and went back.

For the next two months, Feng Qiyue has been negotiating with his subordinates on the imperial examination matters. Feng Qiyue has three staff members, one is about 25 years old named Murong Baishan Lulu, the other is about [-] years old named Wu Keshan military affairs, and the other is with Wu Ke Zhang Yingshan, who is about the same age as Law, and the three of them have stayed by Wang Qing's side for many years.At the beginning, the three of them were a little defensive towards Wang Qing, but after getting along for two months, they found that they had similar temperaments, so they cherished each other and hated seeing each other late.
