The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 392 Qualifications for the Draft

The emperor's worry, in the eyes of the cabinet ministers, is a great good thing.

"Your Majesty." He Ben, a scholar of the cabinet, cupped his hands and said, "We can add an item of talent selection to the draft, so that the beautiful women can participate in the anthology of the harem."

"Isn't that pulling the general out of the box!" Jing Hedi felt that this person was fooling him.

"Where is the best girl?! I want to choose the best girl as my daughter-in-law!"

"..." Hearing the words, all the ministers looked at each other again, muttering inwardly at the same time.

Women's imperial examinations were not proposed by them.

"Your Majesty, unless a girl is not allowed to pass the imperial examination, otherwise, the best girl will naturally want to compete with the gentlemen in the examination room." Among the cabinet scholars, there is a minister who is famous for being outspoken. This person is named Luo Feifei, just came down from the position of supervisory censor, and was about to go to Dali Temple to take up his post.

If someone else said it, Jing Hedi would think that he intended to subvert his government order.

However, Luo Feifei, whose name means "non-right and non-human", may just want to refute it.

"Then let girls with fame and fame stand for the election! If they are not selected, it will naturally not affect their reference to becoming an official. If they are selected, then they will no longer be referenced! Those who are admitted to Jinshi will cancel the other party's quota, and let the latter choose by-election. "

Hearing Emperor Jinghe's idea, all the ministers wanted to curse.

The tug-of-war throughout the afternoon has returned to the starting point of the topic.

"Your Majesty, none of the Jinshi who have made progress in the history has the heart to cling to the royal family, so there are very few who compete for the son-in-law and the county horse." After Yan Yuan said this, he stopped talking and gave Jing Hedi enough room to think.

"..." Jing and Di are in a dilemma!
Taking a look at these courtiers with drooping heads, he will not be angry.

How did the father and the minister live in harmony with each other?
He has only sat on the throne for more than four years, and he wants to beat his courtiers!
Is there such a thing as a courtier for others!
The emperor was in a dilemma, let alone rushing up one by one to solve his problems, at least it shouldn't be like watching a western scene!

What's the matter?Look at his jokes!
"Aiqings, can you find a way to have both?" Jing Hedi looked at everyone with a half-smile.

"Your Majesty." Luo Feifei stood up again.

Emperor Jinghe was delighted to see it, and said in his heart, Luo Aiqing really lived up to me!

Luo Feifei bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. Yan, Chen, and Chu dynasties have always required beautiful women to be selected from the palaces of officials of the fifth rank and above, which does not hinder the scientific examination of folk girls. Girls who want to come to the folk and official backyards are welcome. Being able to stand out with good talents does not affect His Majesty's choice of a good woman to be his daughter-in-law."

"..." Jing Hedi felt that his joy just now seemed a little choking.

The jade wat in the hands of the cabinet ministers below trembled slightly.

Luo Feifei's words were not finished yet: "Your Majesty can also issue an edict to only take folk women's drafts..."

"Luo Qing, stop talking!" Jing Hedi decided to let him go, and quickly stopped the other party's words.

Luo Feifei's voice stopped abruptly, and he smacked his lips, as if he still had something to say.

Seeing this, Emperor Jinghe breathed a sigh of relief: "I have no intention of changing the precedent, so it's better not to disturb the people about Xiunu, or the local government will make its own decisions and cause trouble!"

If he is a fool, if he chooses the folk women's draft, then the women's imperial examination will probably become a place exclusively for officials to exercise power in the future.

Hehe, as expected, the father is right. These officials can listen to their ideas, but they can't listen to them all. They dig holes for the emperor anytime and anywhere, harming the imperial power and fat officials. They wish the emperor could be used as a mascot.

"Drafting, non-scholars don't choose!" Emperor Jing He didn't bother to argue with them, and directly set the tone, "You should know that there is no limit to the number of people who are sent to the county exam for the county exam, as long as they are proficient in arts and sciences; It is rare for someone to fail the election, only the college entrance examination is a bit strict, if you can’t even get into the prefecture and county schools, how can you talk about entering the royal family? Could it be that my harem, the prince’s clan, are only worthy of selecting idiots?!”

What Jing Hedi said made him even more unhappy.

It doesn't mean that talented women must be selected, but when the girls can study and take scientific examinations, who would like to have concubines in the harem who don't understand arts and sciences!

When Emperor Jinghe said this, he was afraid that the ministers would continue to nag, so he hurriedly added: "Of course, after participating in the election, those who fail can continue to take the exam, while those who are selected will stop at the child's exam, and they will not be able to hold official positions in the previous dynasty in the future."

Hearing what he said, the ministers hesitated a little, and couldn't help but look at where the chief assistant was.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Yan Yuan was silent for a moment and saluted.

At this point, all the ministers saluted together with him: "Your Majesty is holy!"

……

"Old Yan Ge." Liang You, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, caught up with Yan Yuan, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty really doesn't consider choosing girls from the people?"

Yan Yuan stroked his beard with a smile: "Your Majesty is benevolent and does not want to disturb the peace of the people."

Liang You was hesitant to speak, and after a while, he whispered: "My lord, the younger brother of Xiaguan has only one posthumous daughter... It's not that Xiaguan is boasting, this niece of Xiaguan is very smart, and she is very gifted in reading. The women's imperial examinations started, my father wanted to use this to keep my niece in the Liang family, and continue the incense for the younger brother of the lower official, but this..."

Yan Yuan thought of the young man of Zhilan Yushu in the Liang family, and couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted: "We'll talk about the future, we may not be able to sort it out now, let's see how the girl's performance in the first exam is! If the father is willing to train, let the niece just concentrate on her studies. That is, don’t deliberately fail the rankings. You must know that those who are admitted to the show may not be able to pass the draft.”

He only pointed out so much, and he could say so much only because he once had the heart of accepting the young man of the Liang family.

……

"You said that a draftee must have a reputation as a scholar?" Mrs. Liang looked at the nanny who had returned from Liang's house, and said in surprise, "When did such a rule become more? In other words, among the nine girls in the mansion, only Sanfang The two girls may be eligible for the election?!"

The big one in Sanfang is fine, the small one is nothing.

To say that she has a dog temper is to praise her, this girl doesn't distinguish between enemies and friends, and she doesn't distinguish between young and old when teasing people.

However, the Duke of the country regards her as a treasure, and he doesn't see what is so good about the little dandy who has always been arrogant!Where is Sister Qiang half strong?
That's right, if the Duke had good eyesight, he wouldn't be partial to Chang!
"Old madam, otherwise... let's talk to Master Wu! The draft is held every three years, and girls can be from 13 to 23 years old. We, Sister Qiang, still have a chance."

Mrs. Liang hesitated for a moment: "You ask someone to keep an eye on Anhetang to see how the surname Chang works. It's impossible for her granddaughter raised in the palace to have no news, right?"

……

In the flower hall of the side courtyard of Anhetang, Mrs. Chang saw that her face was not like that of the second wife He Shi, and said in a soft voice: "I am not the only second son, and you are not only sister Han, but also a daughter. If you have time, you can see more. Take good care of the child, Sister Yun is so cute, isn't it worth your consideration?"

He lowered his eyebrows and said yes softly.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Chang couldn't help sneering softly: "Remember, you have never received a letter from the palace."

He Shi trembled when he heard the words.
