Cui Xiang is a conservative. In his opinion, the imperial examination system has serious drawbacks.

  Some young people who have never been in contact with the important affairs of the court can enter the court and become a reserve talent just by virtue of being able to write a few articles and talk a lot. This is obviously wrong.

  Real talents need qualifications, starting from a small second official, being selected every three years, and finally relying on personal strength to climb up step by step to be regarded as truly needed talents.

  Based on this standard, not to mention Wang Chuangui who was selected as the magistrate, but also Qin Hanlin, who is still a weak crown for many years, is far from qualified.

  And there is another kind of old-fashioned faction in the imperial court. Most of their ideas coincide with Cui Xiang, but when it comes to talent selection, they pay more attention to family background.

  Dachang used to rely mainly on the election system, but under the reign of Emperor Minghua, there were serious disadvantages. When the regime was first changed, the important officials of the court and the family joined forces to protect themselves.

  Empress Qin acted decisively and took responsibility for the first-rank officials in the hall. Three of the six ministers were abolished by her, and even a servant had blood splashed on the hall.

   Standing behind Empress Qin is Duke Yong. Even their opponent, Duke An, supports Empress Qin, and even all the military officers support Empress Qin.

  The ministers were stunned, and they dared not say a single irony.

  Empress Qin became famous in the first battle, but she also voluntarily retreated to the harem after that, not asking about the affairs of the front court.

  But also since then, the selection of talents has been mainly based on the imperial examination.

  For some reason, when they saw Qin Huai who was neither humble nor overbearing standing in the hall today, they vaguely saw the shadow of Queen Qin. Some old people couldn't help but shudder when they thought of those years ago.

"Whether Wang Zhizhou is talented or not, you can only come to a conclusion here by chewing your tongue." General Hua who had been silent all this time said suddenly, "Our Majesty is not a fool, I am afraid that he has already sent someone to find out the truth. My lords are arguing here, it is better to discuss two results. One is that Wang Zhizhou has talent, so he thinks about how to reward him. If he exaggerates or conceals the report, then he will deal with it in another way. Is it difficult? "

Seeing the silence of the crowd, General Hua hurriedly said: "As far as I am concerned, if Wang Zhizhou is really powerful, and he overthrows the sheriff, let him be the sheriff in place, and fix the place while the iron is hot. good?"

   Cui Xiang couldn't help but said: "General Hua, how to determine the award, you just don't participate in it as a military officer."

   I don’t know what the Holy Majesty was thinking, but he would leave General Hua behind. What would he know as an old man?

   It's all just talking nonsense.

  Qin Huai said: "It's just that everyone expresses their own opinions, so why not say it? Cui Xiangmo is annoyed, no matter what this award is, it belongs to Wang Zhizhou, and it can't fall on others."

  Cui Sang choked: "When did I say I would give it to someone else?"

   "Cough!" Official Lu Shangshu coughed heavily, and said slowly, "What Qin Hanlin said is not without reason. Since everyone is expressing their own opinions, they can speak freely."

  Someone was dissatisfied: "Lu Shangshu is generous, your grandson has become Qin Hanlin's book boy, who knows if you have already negotiated in private."

  When Lu Shangshu heard this, he just smiled and didn't answer.

  He is a true gentleman, but he never suffers.

  Emperor Minghua didn't speak from the beginning to the end, only watching the courtiers arguing below. At first everyone's attitude was quite gentle, but later on who made the move first, and the scene became chaotic.

  Cui Xiang was pushed to the ground, and his trouser legs were almost stepped on.

  The other people didn't have a good time. The tea was splashed all over their bodies, and even the wat board fell to the ground. When they lowered their heads to pick it up, they were kicked by the water.

   The scene was chaotic for a while.

  General Hua was so skilled that he pulled the elderly Lu Shangshu and others aside in advance, and went to greet the young Qin Huai.

  Everyone sat and watched the show.

  When the queen mother and empress arrive, the courtiers are already out of order.

  All court clothes are loose and loose, hair is flying around, and there are even various red marks on the face, whether it was hit or knocked.

  The queen mother couldn't hold back, she turned her head and held back her laughter for a long time before letting the eunuchs around her sing.

   "The queen mother arrives—the queen arrives—"

  The courtiers were startled, and hurriedly saluted.

   "See the Empress Dowager, Empress Qiantui!"

   "Queen St. Ann."

  The Queen Mother looked up: "Get up."

  Because after the quarrel, everyone described it as haggard, which was nothing, but when the queen mother and queen were present, the nature changed.

  They just want to find a crack in the ground to get in, so they don't have the time to discuss these things.

  Qin Huai was ordered to tell the whole story. After he finished speaking concisely, he stepped aside.

  The Empress Dowager thought for a moment, and said: "General Hua is right, the Ai family thinks it is very feasible, what do you love?"

  The courtiers drooped their heads: "The Empress Dowager is wise."

  The queen mother looked at Emperor Minghua again: "Emperor, what do you think?"

Emperor Ming Hua withdrew his smile, and said solemnly: "What the mother said is very true, so let's do it like this. According to the wishes of the Qing family, if Wang Zhizhou is really talented, he will be named Shouzheng Bo, enjoy the earl salary, and There are three hundred households in Shiyi. If he does not have the talent, we will follow the normal three-year debriefing process and make a decision after he returns to Beijing."

  The courtiers were dizzy, and they all should be: "The Holy One is holy."

  Qin Huai quickly drew up the content of the imperial decree on the spot, and asked the **** Bingbi to copy it. After the jade seal fell, the courtiers including Cui Xiang felt that something was wrong.

  Why did things become like this?

  But they were still lucky, thinking that if Wang Zhizhou exaggerated on purpose, they would hit him hard at that time.

Unexpectedly, two months later, the people sent by Emperor Minghua came back quickly, and the news they brought back was: Wang Zhizhou not only uprooted the local corrupt county, but also subdued a bandit force that had been entrenched for 20 to 30 years near Chang'an County .

   Not only recruited all the opponents, but also took them to open up wasteland on the spot. The food they planted was lush and lush, and it seems that this year will have a bumper harvest!

  Court officials:!

  How is this completely different from what they imagined? !

  After the incident, Wang Chuangui was not only promoted to the county magistrate, but also named Shou Zhengbo.

  With the mountain that opened up wasteland, it also fed the local people and successfully survived the famine that followed. Of course, this is something for later.

   Cui Xiang still couldn't figure it out afterward. He once went to Qin Huai alone and asked him: "You have a good future, why bother with those who come from a poor family?"

  Qin Huaidao: "Wang Zhizhou is not from a poor family. His niece is the commander of the Astrology Department, and she is the Lord of Yuxiang personally appointed by the Holy Majesty. How can he be regarded as a poor family?"

   "What is a mere township gentleman, not to mention, how can she become Wang Zhizhou's backer? You are confused."

"Because I am her fiancé!" Qin Huai said word by word, "If she is not a woman, it is my position as the number one scholar. I have to give it to her. If the status of Lord Yuxiang is not enough to support her family, then I Qin If you can't hold it any longer, my grandfather and Xiaoyao Wang are willing to support her family if they think about it."

   It’s impossible if you don’t support it.

  Cui Sang: "..."

   Sure enough, you can't let young people go to the court, and you can't talk to you immature children!
