Today's court is obviously divided into three factions
The reformists led by the Ministry of Works, the prefecturalists led by the Ministry of Rites, and the bystanders who do not participate in opinions
Neither of the two ministers spoke, and the officials who were defending the court were all officials under the fourth rank.
The court officials looked at Zhang Hao, the passionate doctor in the water department, in front of him, and all shook their heads secretly.
Although Zhang Hao made sense, he had to be extra careful every step he took. If the reform was so easy, he would have no idea how many times the imperial examinations had been reorganized over the years.
Present the test paper of the candidate you mentioned to me. At the top of the Golden Palace, a thick voice finally came
Your Majesty has opened his mouth, and Zhang Hao and Wang Shuo immediately shut their mouths
An eunuch walked down, holding a few test papers, walked up respectfully, standing next to the man in an imperial robe
Chen Huang picked up the test paper at the top and looked carefully. After a look of surprise appeared on his face, he murmured: If I remember correctly, the last time someone answered ten percent of the questions correctly was more than ten years ago, right?
A rich eunuch beside him nodded and smiled: Go back to Your Majesty, that happened fifteen years ago
Chen Huang nodded and said: This answer is very difficult, and it is even more difficult to answer all right. On weekdays, the hard work of this candidate must be different from ordinary people.
He put the test paper down and picked up another one
This time he looked at it for a long time, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he praised: OK, OK, OK!
The officials in the palace were surprised to see that they said three good words in succession today.
At this time, Emperor Chen had continued to speak
Not afraid of being broken, but keeping your innocence in the world! Emperor Chen glanced below and said: This poem can be regarded as a advice from the court officials in the palace!
He couldn't wait to look at the next page, this time, he looked longer
The expression on his face changed from expectation to astonishment to confusion, then put it aside and murmured: This poem is not bad, too
He's last viewing of the strategy part
This time, Emperor Chen didn't look for a long time, then looked down and said in a deep voice: Fang Hong, Wang Bo, this is what you chose, Lingzhou Prefecture Try to Jieyuan?
Seeing that the situation was a little bad, Wang Bo was stunned and immediately walked out with his tablet in his arms and said: Your Majesty...
I asked you to be the chief examiner of Lingzhou Prefecture. Is that how you selected the materials for me?
Emperor Chen put up the test papers, threw them hard on the ground, stood up, and asked: Tell me, what is written on it!
Seeing this, Wang Shuo looked at Fang Hong and Wang Bo, with a hint of joy on his face.
Fang Hong stood up and hurriedly explained: Your Majesty, this test paper...
This test paper is simply nonsense! Chen Huang interrupted him, glanced down and said: Where is the Lingzhou Prefecture Examination and where is the joint examination?
In the court, more than a dozen people changed their faces and could only stand up with their teeth.
As the Jingdong Road, Song Qian was not in Beijing at this time, so only Zhang Hao and Ling Yihong were in the above positions today.
Emperor Chen looked below and said in a deep voice: You can tell the crime!
Plop!
As soon as these words were spoken, several officials who stood up immediately fell to their knees.
Emperor Chen looked at them and angrily scolded: I have given you the important task of selecting materials for the country. You are so perfunctory. Tell me, what kind of bullshit article is this written by Jieyuan in the state?
All the officials felt the emperor's anger, lowered their heads, held their breath, and secretly congratulated silently for the examiners who were heading to Lingzhou.
Wang Shuo was secretly happy, stepped forward and said respectfully: Your Majesty, I tried my best to dissuade several lords at that time, but unfortunately, I insisted that this volume is acceptable. I did not persuade several lords, I was guilty!
Emperor Chen looked down with some disappointment and said: Fang Hong, Wang Bo, as the main examiner, neglected his duties and was fined one year for one year. The other joint examinations were given together, and the salary was fined for half a year to serve as a warning!
When the officials heard this, they understood in their hearts that His Majesty still did not want to punish them severely. The one-year salary penalty was not serious. The charges they had set were just dereliction of duty, not favoritism and fraud. This was a great preferential treatment for them.
After Chen Huang finished speaking, the anger on his face did not diminish. He looked at the test paper on the ground and said angrily: As for this paper, it is really ridiculous to determine it as Jie Yuan...
At this time, Zhang Hao looked sad and angry and said loudly: Your Majesty, I am fined less, and the national treasury is responsible for the great cause!
Emperor Chen was about to personally judge the book as a fall, but frowned and asked: What's the matter with the national treasury?
Zhang Hao held the tablet and said loudly: Because this test paper can not only cure floods and ensure smooth transportation, but also save at least 500,000 taels of silver for the national treasury every year!
As soon as this was said, among the officials, one of the officials holding the tablet and taking a nap with his eyes closed, his eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were full of brilliance.
A person next to him turned to look at him and asked: Lord Qian, what's wrong?
Qian Shuo, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, did not answer him, and looked directly at Zhang Hao in front of him.
Because of water control and water transportation, the treasury has to allocate a huge sum of money to the Ministry of Works every year, which makes him feel bitter when he thinks about it. If the Ministry of Works can ask for 500,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue every year, how much pressure will the Ministry of Revenue be less?
Emperor Chen was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and looked at Zhang Hao and asked: What did Zhang Aiqing just said?
Zhang Hao stood upright and said: Go back to Your Majesty, Tang Jieyuan's third test in the prefecture. After discussion by the Ministry of Water, it is practical and can save at least 500,000 taels of silver for the national treasury every year. At the same time, it can speed up the canal transportation and ensure that the canal transportation will be smooth for at least ten years.
Chen Huang thought for a moment, bowed himself and picked up the test paper he threw on the ground again.
He looked at the test paper, looked at Zhang Hao again, and asked: Zhang Aiqing's words are serious?
Zhang Hao was tall and said: I guarantee it with my life!
Ling Yihong also came out and said: Your Majesty, the policy on epidemic prevention made by Tang Jieyuan can also be regarded as a standard and promoted by the court. Once an epidemic occurs in a certain place, the casualties and impact can be minimized.
Chen Huang looked at the test paper again, thinking about something
At this time, Qian Shuo, the Minister of Revenue, stood up and said: Your Majesty, Lord Fang, Lord Wang, and all the examiners have had it, but they are also for the court and for His Majesty. If you can save so much money for the national treasury, you can make up for the mistakes.
The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of national money and grain, and it plays an important role among the six ministries. The Minister of Revenue is naturally very important.
All officials know that the national treasury has been tight for a long time, and it has always been his majesty's heart disease.
Now that the Ministry of Works has saved hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for the national treasury, His Majesty is naturally happy, but he has punished the examiners just now. If you don’t make any jokes, you naturally cannot easily take them back. Qian Shangshu’s words gave His Majesty a step down.
Emperor Chen looked at the Minister of Revenue with satisfaction and said: Qian Aiqing's words are reasonable. Fang and Wang's two beloved ministers have made contributions to the advice and rewarded 1,000 taels of silver and 300 pieces of silk. The rest of them were together and each was rewarded with 100 pieces of silk...
The sage of the fine of the salary has been issued and cannot be recovered, but these rewards have been made up for the fined salary, and there are more
After the award was completed, Emperor Chen did not mention the matter of those test papers. After thinking for a moment, he looked below and said: When it comes to a policy to become an official, he should still pay attention to articles, but in addition to this, he should also take appropriate measures. The Secretary of State should first discuss this matter...
This word is used very spiritually, and all officials have been immersed in the officialdom for many years, but how could they not understand it?
Your Majesty issued a hidden imperial edict for this test paper...
Wang Shuo's face turned pale and he glanced at a certain direction. It was the position of the Minister of Rites.
A middle-aged man glanced at him indifferently. Wang Shuo had already understood and lowered his head and never spoke again.
After a while, Emperor Chen looked down and said: If there is nothing else, please retreat to the court.
Today's morning court lasted for a long time, and the process was full of twists and turns
The Lingzhou Prefecture Examination Officer, including Fang Hong, the Minister of Personnel, was punished first and then rewarded by Your Majesty. Although the Ministry of Works' reform strategy for the imperial examination was still not adopted, the secret decree of Your Majesty to the Minister of the Secretariat still shows that the Ministry of Works was better in this confrontation between the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites.
Being able to use a state test paper caused such a big stir in the court. All officials had the first impression of Tang Jieyuan from Lingzhou.
Lord Fang, stay. When Fang Hong was about to walk out of the palace gate, a sound suddenly came from behind him.
Fang Hong turned around and saw the Minister of Rites walking over, and said in confusion: What's wrong with Lord Tang?
The reformists led by the Ministry of Works, the prefecturalists led by the Ministry of Rites, and the bystanders who do not participate in opinions
Neither of the two ministers spoke, and the officials who were defending the court were all officials under the fourth rank.
The court officials looked at Zhang Hao, the passionate doctor in the water department, in front of him, and all shook their heads secretly.
