Chapter 52: Hundreds of benefits and no harm, why not?
Song.

Seeing his name appearing on the miracle, Song Shenzong had already retreated.

Recently, the imperial court has tried its best to refute Wang Anshi's reforms. Now it is even named by a miracle, but it does not mention whether it is good or bad. Can the reforms bring benefits to the people of the world?

Wang Anshi did not think so much. He still firmly believed that this reform would be beneficial to the people of the world and must be implemented.

[Although Zhao Guangyi made frequent mistakes in military affairs and people's livelihood management, which resulted in the death of tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the Song Dynasty, and there were uprisings like Wang Bo and Li Shun, which also created the problem of emphasizing civility over military affairs. 】

[But he did put a lot of effort into the area of ​​civil administration. It was also from him that the imperial examination system was greatly improved and supplemented, and the relevant regulations were also formulated very clearly. 】

In the Song Dynasty, the fourth year of Chunhua.

Zhao Guangyi was so excited that he almost shed tears.

God knows that in the last miracle, Ming Taizong's family was praised from beginning to end, and he himself was ridiculed from the beginning. Now he has finally been recognized by the miracle.

[He is now trying his best to improve the imperial examination system and expand the number of people admitted to the imperial examination, so that he can suppress the extremely arrogant and evil trends of those generals. 】

Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

Li Shimin and the Zhenguan ministers sat upright one after another, their eyes full of seriousness.

They had been quite interested in the imperial examination system before, but wanted to start but didn't know the direction.

Nowadays, there are rare examples. Of course, we must study hard. Maybe this will be another opportunity for Datang to take off.

[In the second year of Taiping and Xingguo's reign, Zhao Guangyi held the imperial examination system for the first time. 】

[The Long Fei Ranking was decided, and a total of [-] Jinshi people were admitted, and [-] people from other subjects were admitted. 】

[Since the eighth year of the Taiping and Xingguo reign, banquets given by Jinshi to Qionglin Garden have become a kind of customization, and then flourished. 】

[In the second year of Yongxi's reign, the system of "exempt examinations" for relatives of examiners was implemented for the first time.That is to say, a separate examination room was set up and a separate examiner was assigned. This decree greatly avoided the favoritism caused by kinship relationships, and was unanimously approved by the people of the court. 】

[The Ministry of Rites is responsible for checking the list of qualified personnel to interpret the exam, reviewing the qualifications of the candidates, and organizing the exam. 】

[The qualified candidates will be released by the Gongyuan and officially reported to the Ming court.The Imperial Examination, also known as the Imperial Examination and the Personal Examination, is an exam that the emperor, as the examiner, personally supervises. 】

[The questions they take exams are specially arranged by the government to be asked by officials, and then different batches of officials who have been prepared in advance carry out the marking. 】

[After the examination, a roll call ceremony will be held by the emperor.This year's top pick, second pick, and third pick are officially announced to the world. 】[Note: Later, two new systems were created: one is to implement a lock-in system for examiners.That is to say, after the examiner became an examiner under the imperial edict, he entered the Gongyuan on the spot and cut off contact with the outside world. The source refused to interrupt the possibility of being bribed. 】

[The second is to implement the anonymity.The anonymity method is to obscure all personal identification information such as the candidate's name, place of origin, etc., to prevent the examiner from engaging in malpractice after seeing it. 】

[This system was later passed down to later generations, becoming more and more prosperous and never ending. 】

In the Song Dynasty, the fourth year of Chunhua.

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed and relaxed his body and lay on the dragon chair. These were all his achievements!

Moreover, since Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty initiated the imperial examination system, many people have been optimistic about the imperial examination system, but the number of people admitted is too small. Even his brother imitated the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty, and only a few dozen scholars were admitted every year. How about this? Can the imperial examination system play its true role in selecting talents?
It was Zhao Guangyi who carried out large-scale rectification and improvement of the imperial examination system, making the imperial examination system officially the fundamental system of the imperial court, extending it to all parts of the world, selecting truly talented people in the world, and reducing the number of The possibility of a pearl covered in dust!

Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

Zhao Kuangyin ordered the attendants next to him to copy down the key points of the imperial examination system intact.

In the past, he had to deal with government affairs, resolve rebellions in various places, appease the people, and also smooth the relationship between generals and ensure that his people did not rebel. These all consumed a lot of his energy. He also wanted to change the imperial examination system, but it was really difficult. Weakhearted.

Now that these new systems are right in front of us, and everyone has seen the benefits brought by these systems, there is naturally no resistance. We only need to copy most of them and slightly modify the small details, and then they can be promoted to the whole world!
There will be no nobles from aristocratic families who will come out to obstruct it. It will be a hundred benefits without any harm, so why not do it? ——
Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

The Ming Dynasty was also a dynasty with a relatively prosperous imperial examination system. Many of their veterans and newcomers in the hall now came from the imperial examination system and obtained official positions. Naturally, they had a positive attitude towards the imperial examination system and stood on the side of the imperial examination system. .

Moreover, after hundreds of years of continuous improvement and research in the Song Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial examination system had penetrated deeply into the Central Plains culture and became an indispensable part of civilization.

Therefore, many people's attitude towards Zhao Guangyi changed: "Although Song Taizong was not a military man, he did improve the imperial examination system and passed it down to this day. His contribution will last forever!"

This part of the people who only relied on the imperial examination to change their destiny naturally had deep feelings for the imperial examination system.

Many princes were not so impressed with the imperial examination system. After all, they did not need to participate in the imperial examination.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the side was more focused on the benefits of the imperial examination system. Although he had never participated in the imperial examination, he also understood that the imperial examination made great use of talents: "In any case, Song Taizong's improvement of the imperial examination system will indeed help future generations. Increasing and expanding the channels for selecting talents will also have a considerable effect on our Ming Dynasty."

Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

Li Shimin stared at the miracles with bright eyes: giving a banquet, avoiding, locking up the courtyard, and hiding his name. He wanted to have these words firmly engraved in his mind. Today's imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty is no exaggeration and is truly implemented. There are only a handful of places.

But now, with the promotion of miracles and the addition of reminders, the straightforward rules of the imperial examination system have been slightly changed and applied to the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty. Wouldn't he have seized the opportunity for the great success of the Tang Dynasty!
Fang Xuanling obviously saw Li Shimin's thoughts and said: "Your Majesty, I think this matter may be difficult. You must not forget that there are still those aristocratic families."

Fang Xuanling's words also made Li Shimin calm down. He was indeed too happy. The wealthy families have been an obstacle to the Tang Dynasty. They wantonly placed people in the imperial court and interfered with the business, economy and politics of the imperial court. It can be said that it belongs to the Tang Dynasty. A big pest!
But it is difficult to use force to eliminate them. As for dividing them, it will not take a day or two.
