A full quarter of an hour later, the confidant hurried back panting and hurried back, and reported to Changsun Wuji in a low voice.

"Master, the villain has already checked, and the merit list is still in the warehouse."

"Well...Okay, let's go down."

Changsun Wuji waved his hands calmly, and when his confidant left with him, he let out a sigh of relief.

It seems that His Majesty didn't doubt himself, maybe he felt that in recent years, the imperial examinations have recruited a lot of children from aristocratic families, right?

Changsun Wuji stroked his long beard, his eyes flickering. By doing this, His Majesty was warning himself that he had recruited too many children from aristocratic families?

Or maybe it's just because of the emphasis on selecting scholars through the imperial examination that I want to read the articles of talented scholars selected in the past three years.

Changsun Wuji thought about it for a long time, and finally let out a bad breath, that's all, since he can't guess what His Majesty's intention is, let's wait for a while.

Li Shimin paced slowly in Wencheng Hall, holding several test papers in his hands, all of which were the test papers of the admitted candidates.

But each of these test papers seemed so mediocre, it could be said that there was nothing to recommend them.

But they were chosen by chance, and Li Shimin understood the reason why they were chosen just by looking at their names.

The merit tester Wailang is just a middle-level and lower-level official from the sixth rank, what kind of pressure can he withstand?

Whether it's the boss, or the pressure from those aristocratic families, whatever it is, he can obediently bow his head and obey.

Therefore, Li Shimin had to admit that what Cheng Sanlang said was true.

Since the Tang Dynasty decided to make the imperial examination the mainstream channel for scholars from all over the world to enter the officialdom, first of all, it is necessary to elevate the status of the imperial examination.

After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin slowly came to the embroiderer who had been standing in the hall all the time, and handed the few test papers of mediocrity to him in distaste and ordered.

"Go check it out for me. These people can be selected by the Ministry of Officials. If they pass, what are their official positions now?"

The Embroidered Clothes Envoy, who had been very quiet all this time, obeyed awe-inspiringly.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly call us here?" Outside the Wencheng Hall, Xuan Suiliang and several colleagues were discussing in a low voice.

But somewhere, a bunch of rough old men are also muttering in low voices, and they are all guessing in low voices.

Your Majesty made such a battle, could it be that something big happened somewhere?

Fortunately, they didn't make them wait too long. Zhao Kun stepped out of the hall and saluted the leader, Fang Xuanling.

A group of important officials of the Tang Dynasty filed in, and soon saw the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty standing in the Wencheng Hall.

"Sit down, gentlemen. I summoned you here today. There are a few things that need to be explained."

"The first thing, the crown prince's east tour, everything is almost ready. I plan to let the crown prince leave Beijing for the east tour at the beginning of next month. What do you think?"

Everyone just sat down when they heard His Majesty throwing out this important matter, and they couldn't help being a little surprised.

Fortunately, this important matter has been discussed before, so the ministers naturally have no reason to object.

"Cheng Qing." Li Shimin turned his eyes and landed on Cheng Yaojin.

Seeing this hulking and heavy-backed number one bully in the imperial court stand up and stand in the hall.

"The crown prince patrolled the provinces in Shandong and the south of the Yangtze River on my behalf. The matter is of great importance. You are the crown prince's Taibao, and you will lead the left guards and horses to accompany you..."

All eyes fell on Cheng Yaojin in unison. This court bully was ordered by His Majesty to protect His Highness the Crown Prince, which can be regarded as a daily operation.

After all, everyone knows His Majesty's trust in the Cheng family.

Moreover, the Cheng family also came from the land of Dong'a in Shandong, and Cheng Yaojin was very familiar with the land of Shandong.

Moreover, this villain is not only a brave general in the army, but also has always been rough and fine. Let him defend His Highness the Crown Prince, but he is really much better than those real rough men.

After Cheng Yaojin retreated to his seat and sat down, Li Shimin turned his eyes and glanced at a group of important officials, and then slowly spoke again.

"In a few months, it will be a big day to recruit soldiers for the country.

After many years of recuperation in my Tang Dynasty, the number of people who study in the world is increasing day by day. However, the talents we have acquired are still insufficient.

After thinking about it, it must have a lot to do with the continuation of the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty, without any changes..."

As soon as this remark came out, all the civil and military personnel's hearts jumped, and those who were still whispering quietly stopped their voices and closed their ears.

His Majesty's meaning is also very straightforward, that is, as the imperial court, it should accept all talents from all over the world.

But nowadays, there will always be such problems and shortcomings.

"I've been thinking about it day and night these days, and finally I have some ways to improve the shortcomings of the imperial examination system. You can pass it on first."

The **** at the side handed a piece of manuscript paper on the case table to Fang Xuanling, the head of the officials.

After only two glances, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but twitched his brows, looked at His Majesty in astonishment, and then at the rice paper full of Feibai fonts.

All the civil servants could see their eyelids twitching, even the eldest grandson Wuji who was very good at nourishing qi.

At this moment, he was also shocked by His Majesty's method of improving the disadvantages.

After a full quarter of an hour, Li Shimin, who had already returned to the back of the imperial case, said in a deep voice when he saw that the civil and military officials had almost circulated it.

"What do you think, gentlemen?"

The first one to jump out was Ma Zhou, who was born in a poor family. At this moment, he seemed a little over-excited, his face flushed and authentic.

"Your Majesty is wise, the imperial examination system originated in the former Sui Dynasty, and my Tang Dynasty inherited the system of the previous dynasty, and it has been applied to this day, and it has won countless talents for the country."

"However, the imperial examination system was created in the early days, with many disadvantages and loopholes everywhere, but now, Your Majesty has come up with a good method, which is really good news for scholars all over the world..."

Looking at the excited Ma Zhou who was a little incoherent, he came from a wealthy family, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, or an official with a wealthy family background.

Even if he could control his emotions, he seemed a little restless at the moment.

This is not in the Zhenguan Hall, where we can exchange ideas and discuss countermeasures. This is the Wencheng Hall.

The distance between His Majesty and a group of ministers is not far away, and at this moment, His Majesty's eyes are wandering back and forth.

As soon as Ma Zhou finished speaking, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and the Dali Temple Minister Sun Fujia, who also came from the imperial examination, all came out to join him.

And Changsun Wuji finally stood up to express his agreement, because His Majesty's eyes had already fallen on him for a while.

Changsun Wuji knew very well that he had to stand up and express his attitude clearly.

Li Shimin stroked his long beard and looked at those ministers who still did not express their views with a smile.

"Why don't you say a word?"
