Chapter 258 Deliberate

With a slight cough, Jiang Junli put his hand on the prince's shoulder, "I just heard many students outside Gongyuan talking about the exam questions in this spring. They said that the three exams were all independent questions, so that I was thinking a lot but... I don’t dare to put pen to paper, and I feel even more constrained than taking an exam with test questions.”

"Usually, the test questions for Chunwei are all determined by the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Officials, the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Academy. This time, the three exams are all independent questions. Is it too lazy, or is it intentional?"

The prince drooped his eyelids slightly, "It's probably the latter."

Nowadays, although his father is somewhat obsessed with the theory of weather and astrology, and has even begun to pursue the art of immortality, and is unwilling to pay attention to political affairs, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are still working hard. There have been no cases of anyone neglecting their duties yet.

Especially those veteran ministers, because they have a strong sense of responsibility in their hearts and are often worried that the emperor's actions will waste the government and affect the country and the country, they work harder and harder.

The three independent propositions this time were definitely not due to laziness, but because of intentionality.

As for why they did this...

As a court official, it is good to obey the government's orders and do things with all your heart, but if you just blindly listen and follow the rules and only know how to do things according to the rules without having any ideas of your own, such an official is not a good official. .

A qualified official is only one who can perform independently and perform well when the situation is urgent and there is no instruction from the superior.

The prince understood the intentions of these veterans, but he also lamented that his father, who had been diligent in political affairs, had now become like this.

With mixed emotions, the prince couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Jiang Junli knew that the prince was melancholy at this time, so he reached out and patted the prince's back, "Let's go and sit in Guanghua Garden first."

Drinking a few glasses of wine and talking about poems, songs, history and ancient books for a while can probably relieve your mood.

"We have to wait another day to go to Guanghua Garden." The prince refused, "Today I made an appointment with Mr. Ge to sit down at Qingfeng Tower, and now it's time." On the Qingfeng Tower is an inconspicuous teahouse. But Jiang Junli knew that this was the private property of His Highness the Crown Prince, and people who did not want to be seen in public usually went there to talk.

"That's fine." Jiang Junli nodded, "Mr. Ge is serious and old-fashioned, and he values ​​punctuality the most. It's better to go earlier, but..."

Jiang Junli paused for a moment, "But there are some things that should be said, and they don't need to be exposed."

"Yes." The prince nodded with a low voice, "Mr. Ge is a man of upright temperament. What he cares about most is the stability of the country, the country, and the government. Naturally, there are certain things that I need to make clear to him."

Jiang Junli curled his lips when he heard this, "Where did you say it was him? I mean, if you have anything to say to me, you can just say it directly."

Especially when it comes to money.

To win over the courtiers and manage the superiors and subordinates, dignity is one thing, and reason is another. What is more important is that there must be substantial benefits so that others will be willing to do things in a down-to-earth manner.

Jiang Junli has been doing business for many years, so he understands this truth.

The prince also understood what he meant at this time, and there was a warmth in his eyes. He reached out and touched his nose, "You know, naturally I won't be polite to you."

"That's very good." Jiang Junli grinned, "I won't say much to you at this time, I need to attend to something important."
