Chapter 1093 Reforming the Imperial Examination ([-])

"Your Majesty's grand plans and great achievements are greatly admired by the veterans. At first hearing, my heart is full of excitement and fascination. However, what Master Ma said is also reasonable. The cost is so huge, but I don't know how effective it will be. I can't help but feel terrified. .”

Fang Bao was careful. Hearing Ma Qi's tone of voice was a bit harsh, he couldn't help worrying that Hong Qing would get angry, so he quickly calmed down with the words. Although the words were spoken gently, the meaning was not very different from Ma Qi's place.

"Well, the concerns of the two lovers are indeed not unreasonable. However, I think that although the cost is huge, it is worth thousands of dollars. Enlightening the world and enlightening the wisdom of the people are the foundation of a strong country. No matter how huge the cost is, I will I don't hesitate, even if I tighten my belt, I am willing to, no matter how poor I am, I can't afford education. As for the effect, I think it will be more than a hundred times better than today's imperial examinations. Please wait and see if the military academy replaces it. You can know the root of martial arts matters."

For Ma and Fang's worries, Hong Qing naturally understood, and would not get angry because of it, but explained it with a smile.

"Your Majesty is wise, and I sincerely admire you. However, the old minister still has two doubts. One is whether the timing of implementation is appropriate. Today, Your Majesty's new policies have already been implemented, and they are still being implemented. All the ministries of the court are already in full operation. Among them, if the reform of the imperial examinations is carried out again, there may be negligence. Once the government and the people are in chaos, the good things may turn bad. If the battle becomes a stalemate, I am afraid that many new policies may be scrapped halfway, so I think it is appropriate to postpone this matter for later discussion. This old minister’s humble opinion, please Your Majesty carefully observe.”

Obviously, Zhang Tingyu was not very optimistic about the large-scale innovation proposed by Hongqing, but he did not explicitly object, but raised two questions cautiously.

"Hengchen is very worried. Although I have long wanted to reform the imperial examinations, I have not dared to move lightly. What I worry about is nothing more than timing. According to my original intention, I originally planned to do it after the victory of the six kingdoms. However, my fourth uncle is impatient about this matter, but I don't allow me to be idle. Hey, if my prediction is not bad, Wang Siqi is just a pioneer, and there will be troubles in the future. I won't be idle, and if things get serious, even if I want to suppress them, I'm afraid it won't be easy to suppress them. In this case, is it a safe way to follow the trend? , are all within the controllable range, but there is no risk of loss."

All the people present were trustworthy people, Hong Qing naturally would not hide too much, and expressed what was in her heart very calmly.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Hong Qing has already spoken to such an extent, it is clear that she has made up her mind, obviously, no matter how much she persuades, it will definitely make Hong Qing change her mind. , Qiqi praised and finished.

"Today's discussion is limited to this, Qing and others must not spread it to outsiders. In the next few days, I will quickly draw up a preliminary charter, how to implement it, and discuss it with Qing and other good students in detail after the charter comes out. It's getting late, Qing and others, let's go on our own, and as for Wang Siqi's copy, let's keep it and not send it."

Although all the ministers of military aircraft praised unanimously, Hong Qing knew that everyone still had doubts in their hearts. It is impossible to expect great progress in the reform from the very beginning, and it is impossible to convince all the ministers from the beginning. However, Hong Qing is confident in convincing everyone when she comes up with specific regulations. As for this time, Hong Qing Qing didn't want to be too troublesome, so she just gave a few words of advice and sent everyone away...

More than ten days passed quickly, and as Hong Qing expected, even though Wang Siqi's papers were not published, the content of this chapter quickly spread in the capital. , There was a heated discussion between the government and the opposition, with some supporters and some opponents. Generally speaking, most of the disciples of the Eight Banners were in favor of innovation, but most of the disciples of Confucianism were against it. Therefore, there are quite a few people who talk about things in the first book, but Hongqing ignores all of them. No matter what kind of opinions are in this chapter, they will not publish it. This kind of ambiguous attitude will undoubtedly fuel the controversy between the government and the opposition. In the end, the two sides actually launched a fierce war of words on the "Jingshi Times". There is no doubt that with the publication of the "Jingshi Times", a large-scale controversy has also been set off across the country. At this point, even if the imperial court came forward to suppress it, it would be difficult to forcefully suppress such large-scale disputes, unless the imperial court can come up with a result that satisfies all parties.

As a politician, the most fearful thing is the continuous controversy. Obviously, when such a sudden storm of imperial examinations broke out, the governors of the provinces were caught off guard, and all of them lost their hands. For the reform of the imperial examinations, a practical and feasible charter was put forward, and all the ministers in the court also put forward this chapter. What followed would naturally be enormous pressure. Unexpected incidents are bound to mess things up, but Hongqing is lucky, almost a month has passed, she has never come forward to explain the matter, and even during the court meeting, she never asked the officials to discuss it. Discussion, under such circumstances, all the ministers and workers were at a loss, but they couldn't help worrying about it.

Did you not do anything?Of course not. In the past month, Hongqing has actually been exchanging opinions with the military ministers on the reform of the imperial examination almost every day. He was busy late at night, and there was nothing he could do. As an emperor, he had to deal with too many government affairs. It was impossible for him to devote all his energy to the reform of the imperial examination. In this way, Hong Qing suffered a lot. , It’s only been less than one o’clock in a month, and the whole person has been tired and thin. Fortunately, the hard work was not in vain. With the assistance of Zhang Tingyu and others, a relatively complete imperial examination reform charter was finally completed. Just another question popped up - who should be handed over to carry out?
Although there are many trustworthy ministers in the court, there are not many who are qualified to lead the reform of the imperial examination. The few military ministers are already operating at full capacity, and it is obviously not appropriate to add more burdens to them. As for Liu Chengen Waiting for a large number of Hongqing's original descendants, no matter their qualifications or abilities, they are obviously not enough to cope with such a major change. If there is another big turmoil, it is obvious that the selection of such a person must be more careful, and Hong Qing knows this very well. After thinking about it for a few days, she finally made a final decision.

"My humble servant greets His Majesty!"

Xiao Xuanwu, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, had just entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he immediately sensed something was wrong. There was no other eunuch in the huge hall, only Hong Qing was sitting on the dragon bed at the top, This is obviously a pattern of making knees and dense Chen, and I couldn't help but panicked a little, but fortunately, I was very good at nourishing my energy, and I didn't show any panic, so I hurriedly rushed to the front of the imperial court, and it was a big salute to pay homage Not enough.

"no."

Facing Xiao Xuanwu's big gift, Hong Qing didn't express anything, but just yelled in a peaceful voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Hearing Hong Qing's tone was very indifferent, Xiao Xuanwu not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, on the contrary, he became a little more nervous, nothing else, after so many years of getting along, Xiao Xuanwu naturally knows what kind of person his uncle is. , the more peaceful you are, the more important the matter you want to talk about is nine out of ten, and Xiao Xuanwu can't help worrying about it, that is, the city is deep enough, so he didn't lose his composure, and hurriedly thanked him After that, he got up immediately, stood with hands down, and made a cute appearance of listening to instructions.

"Luo Shan (Xiao Xuanwu's word) remember what I said to you when you won Tanhua?"

Hong Qing is such a shrewd person, even if Xiao Xuanwu concealed it very well, he could see through the tension in Xiao Xuanwu's heart at a glance, but he didn't really care much about it, let alone directly cut to the point, but just pretended to be homely asked a question.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I dare not or forget your instructions at all times. At that time, the Holy One taught me to keep my feet on the ground, and I have always kept it in my heart."

Xiao Xuanwu was able to pass the Tanhua exam, so he was naturally not someone who would take nothing for granted, his memory was really good, just as Hong Qing finished speaking, he gave the answer without thinking.

"Well, I have always seen Aiqing's political achievements over the years. The word 'down-to-earth' is the best evaluation of you. However, the purpose of being down-to-earth is not to step on the ground, but to go straight to the sky. I called you here just for one thing, and I will read this regulation first before discussing it."

Hong Qing was very satisfied with Xiao Xuanwu's attitude, after a few words of praise, she didn't say any more, picked up a booklet on the table, and casually threw it to Xiao Xuanwu.

"Your Majesty is wise, I think that if this regulation can be followed, it is not difficult to select talents for the country. I think it is feasible."

Although Xiao Xuanwu is also a student of Confucianism, he is not someone who is dead-on-the-books, but a person who really has the ability to manage the world. He has also experienced many years in the local area, and his ability to govern is naturally very strong. After reading the charter and thinking about it for a while, I understood the gist of it, and there was no ambiguity in expressing my position.

"Well, since that's the case, I will entrust this matter to you, do you dare to do it?"

Hong Qing did not comment on Xiao Xuanwu's statement, but just gave a noncommittal noncommittal, and then immediately put such a heavy burden on Xiao Xuanwu's shoulders, which surprised Xiao Xuanwu suddenly.
