Chapter 1031: Government Affairs
Morning.
The sunlight passed through the thin window paper and fell down. Wu Nian opened his eyes and reached out to touch it, but there was no one by the pillow.
Then, he yawned and got up in bed with a rare opportunity. When he woke up again, it was already midday. Wu Nian first asked someone to prepare a bath water, then lifted the bedding and stood up, took a shower, put on his winter clothes and left the bedroom, and came to the hall.
"Brother." He put on some makeup and a slim palace dress, walked in from outside, followed by many female soldiers, holding breakfast in his hands.
Wu Nian glanced at it and the dishes were very rich.
For the general, he only had the strength to eat well and eat well. He was very satisfied, and then noticed that Wei Ru was walking, which was a bit awkward.
The pain of breaking the melon.
Although it is a hurdle that women will definitely experience. Wu Nian still feels distressed and guilty when he sees the pain in her eyebrows.
"Come here and sit down." Wu Nian quickly called Wei Ru to come and sit down. Wei Ru smiled slightly, moved his lotus steps lightly, and the lady came to Wu Nian to sit down, and then worked hard to serve Wu Nian for dinner.
"Ru'er. I'll do it myself. You have a good rest." Wu Nian wanted to come by himself, but she was not happy. When he finished his meal, the female soldiers cleaned up the mess and went down.
Wu Nian looked at her, reached out to her arms, smelled the fragrance on her body, and complained: "Ru'er must be very painful. Why don't you sleep for a while?"
Wei Ru heard this and flew her cheeks, buried her face in Wu Nian's arms, and said in a slight voice: "How can a new wife stay in bed?"
"You are the imperial concubine. This is your bedroom again. No one cares whether you are staying in bed or not." Wu Nian said with a smile.
"It is precisely because I am an imperial concubine that I shouldn't stay in bed." Wei Ru said stubbornly.
Wu Nian couldn't tell her, so she had to give up.
In the army, it is about military rules. In this huge palace, Wei Ru also follows the rules.
Wu Nian was very pity for Wei Ru, and he was even more newly married. Since getting married, Wu Nian stayed at Wei Ru for five days before giving up.
There is no way, you have to get the rain and dew.
If you favor someone alone, you will be afraid of a quarrel in the palace.
morning.
In the Jiaofang Hall, in the front palace, there is heavy snow on goose feathers, accompanied by the cold wind. The fragrance of willow wraps itself into rice dumplings and stands in the corridor to watch Wu Nian.
Wu Nian held a steel knife in his hand and practiced martial arts in the snow. He either chopped or slashed, and his move was fierce and fierce.
At this moment, an eunuch came quickly, stopped in front of Wu Nian, and said, "Your Majesty, the Cabinet Minister is asking for a visit."
"Let them wait in the imperial study room. I will arrive soon." Wu Nian let out a breath, then continued to practice the knife skills, then put away the steel knife, changed into a more formal dress, and said goodbye to Liu Xiang. Only after he was surrounded by eunuchs, palace maids, and guards, he sat on the imperial carriage and headed to the imperial study room.
A stove is placed in the imperial study room.
After Wu Nian entered the imperial study room, the coldness around him dissipated, replaced by warmth. He patted the snowflakes on his body and looked up to look ahead.
"King."
Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, and Zhang Haiping were sitting on the chair of the Grand Master, drinking hot tea. When they saw Wu Nian coming in, they couldn't help but put down the teacup and stood up to salute.
"No gift, sit down." Wu Nian waved his hand, then came to the imperial throne to sit down, and asked with a smile: "Is there anything wrong?"
He entrusted all the major national affairs to the cabinet ministers.
Now that the three of them come to see each other, there must be something big.
But the country is currently peaceful. It is a major event, but not a major event in military and national affairs.
Liu Zhixing took the initiative to let the people come out, clasped his fists and said, "King. Now the country is getting bigger and bigger, but the officials are insufficient. Please ask the King to hold the imperial examination and select officials."
Wu Nian looked as expected, but she still pondered for a while.
This matter has been said before.
He was not very satisfied with the officialdom in China. But at present, the imperial examination system is already the best bureaucratic selection system.
At the beginning, I had not pacified Huanglong and the country refused Liu Zhixing incompletely.
Now the arrow is on the string.
"Accurate." Wu Nian nodded and agreed.
Liu Zhixing knew that Wu Nian would not refuse, but he was relieved to get the permission. The Han Dynasty had ten prefectures, with such a large territory and such a large population, but there was no imperial examination.
The bureaucratic group of the Han Dynasty was relatively small. Everyone was under great pressure.
However, the imperial examination was held. But there are still many problems.
Liu Zhixing asked again: "King, according to the imperial examinations of Chu State, it will be held every three years. Because Chu State has a vast territory, it is divided into various time periods to conduct the imperial examinations."
"For example, the provincial examination, also known as the autumn examination, is held in August."
“Elector.”
"The imperial examination is also known as the spring examination, and will be held in February of the following year."
"But the territory of the Han Dynasty is relatively small, which is smaller than that of Chu. Now the imperial court has fewer talents, so it is urgent to open a statute to win scholars."
"I think it can be adapted as appropriate. The imperial examinations at all levels will be carried out as soon as possible. The palace examination will be held in August next year to select Jinshi."
"In addition, there is another thing. How many Jinshi, Youyan, and Liaodong people will be awarded, how many will be awarded? Please decide."
At the end, Liu Zhixing bowed to Wu Nian and asked Wu Nian to pat the table.
Wu Nian pinched his chin and thought for a moment. The Youyan people were Goguryeo.
The imperial examination is not fair, there are unspoken rules.
For example, in Chu State, there are many scholars in Jiangnan and very strong. If you are admitted to Jinshi fairly, then Jiangnan officials will be the only one.
Over time, it will be unfavorable to the country.
Therefore, in a province, how many Jinshi can be selected? There are unspoken rules and a certain elastic game.
For example, who is the chief examiner of this imperial examination and will he take care of his fellow villagers?
The same is true in Han Dynasty.
Wu Nian regarded Goguryeo as his fellow clan, not only because of his culture, but also because of his long history of intermarriage between the two countries, and his blood relationship was quite close.
The Goguryeo people are the new Han people.
He also treated Goguryeo officials equally.
For example, Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunchong, Goguryeo's son-in-law, Marquis, and Cui Wushuang, who is currently an official in the Ministry of Rites.
And from the current cultural perspective.
Wu Nian was more ashamed.
The reading atmosphere of Liaodong people is far inferior to that of Goguryeo. If you can select scholars fairly, then this imperial examination will probably account for the majority.
In this way, the Han people may not feel bad.
After thinking for a long time, Wu Nian said, "At present, we have ten prefectures. Sushun has almost no scholars and is remote. I will forget about this imperial examination."
"Five prefectures in Liaodong and the four prefectures in Youyan."
"There are the proportions of the government to select Jinshi. Five people from Liaodong and four people from Youyan."
"In addition, I don't understand Confucianism, but I have to increase my quota. This time, I will not only take Confucian classics, but also mathematics, geography, and science. That is, what I promote in the Imperial College and the Sun Zijian."
"Teach you a little harder, list the topic, seal it up, and then send it to various prefectures and counties."
Liu Zhixing was a little embarrassed, so the imperial examination would not be like the imperial examination.
However, this is the order of the king and the father.
Although Liu Zhixing was in a dilemma, he agreed.
