Luo Youdu didn't pay attention to the happy expressions of the civil and military officers of His Highness. At this moment, he also noticed something fishy, ​​but he didn't show any expression, as if he was really deceived.

There was a court meeting as usual, discussing with Dou Yi the issue of food and grass allocation.

Luo Youdu was not prepared to mobilize troops against Jiaozhi.

But Jiaozhi was completely thrown into chaos because of his support.

As the instigator, Luo Youdu obviously cannot stay out of the incident.

The prime ministers headed by Dou Yi were not willing to expand the results of the war, and had no intention of launching troops against Jiaozhi.

However, as they acquiesced in building a navy in the South China Sea to deter the countries in the South China Sea, their attitude towards Jiaozhi changed.

Dou Yi and Wei Renpu only value people's livelihood and are not pedantic.

They didn't have much interest in Jiaozhi, but after Luo Youdu appointed Chen Lan as the governor of Jinghai.

The local separatists in Jiaozhi refused to accept the situation and instead sent out troops to attack Chen Lan.

Although the letter of appointment of the envoy has not yet been conveyed, in the eyes of Dou Yi and Wei Renpu, this is undoubtedly a provocation to the imperial court.

The blood of uncastrated literati is no less than that of warriors.

Just because Dou Yi and Wei Renpu are unwilling to start a war does not mean they dare not.

The majesty of the country cannot be trampled by any clown.

The separatist forces in Jiaozhi dared to defy the Central Plains imperial court.

Civil servants like Dou Yi and Wei Renpu who don't like fighting can't bear it.

Either don't fight, or let the entire South China Sea see the majesty of the Celestial Kingdom. There is no doubt about it.

When he was about to go to court, Luo Youdu suddenly said as if on a whim: "Bashu, Jiangnan, Wuyue, Quanzhang and Lingnan have all entered the territory of our court, but my kindness has not spread to all directions, especially Bashu, Jiangnan, Lingnan and other places.

.I want to be a special favor and recruit scholars for the imperial court. What do you think, dear friends?"

For a time, the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were a little confused, not knowing who Enke was.

Dou Yi asked tentatively: "Enke, what do you mean by holding the imperial examination again?"

Since the Later Jin Dynasty, the imperial examination has been held every three years.

The imperial court also followed this practice.

Enke first started in the Song Dynasty, so there is no mention of Enke at this time.

But Dou Yi was quick-thinking and carefully scrutinized the words to understand their meaning.

Luo Youdu nodded and said: "In the last imperial examination, Bashu, Jiangnan, Wuyue, Quanzhang and Lingnan surrendered. It is really unfair to ask them to wait another three years. I want to be kind to the scholars of the world and reopen the imperial examination so that everyone in the world can be qualified.

join."

In an instant, the whole court was in an uproar.

The civil servants and other officials were startled at first, then overjoyed.

After hundreds of years of development, the imperial examination has occupied a huge proportion in the selection of officials.

In order to win over the scholar-bureaucrats, the Song Dynasty gave them the right to recommend.

As a result, a group of shameless literati recommended each other, resulting in redundant officials and a bad government.

Luo Youdu did not favor one over the other. He not only gave the right to recommend to the scholar-bureaucrats, but also to the military attaches. However, like Guo Rong, he allowed not to avoid family suspicion, but he needed to sign the name of the leader on the day of conferment.

If the recommender is found to be corrupt and incompetent, the recommender will be punished accordingly.

Although this will cause officials to be afraid to recommend good talents when they find them, it can prevent recommenders from being trapped in a trap and causing an overflow of officials.

Everything in this world is a double-edged sword, and there is no best of both worlds.

As a result, civil and military officials had the right to recommend but did not dare to misuse it. The imperial examination and meritorious service on the battlefield became the main criteria for selecting officials.

The value and status of the imperial examination is even more important.

Zhao Pu said passionately: "Your Majesty is wise, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties has been divided and divided, and it has been more than a hundred years. Now, under your majesty's heroic leadership, the six continents are unified, the nine states are unified, and the world is unified. This is a thousand-year achievement, and the whole world should celebrate it.

Share it with the people of the world. This special gift is given to show your majesty's kindness. The scholars of the world will definitely shed tears of gratitude when they bathe in the holy grace."

When it comes to flattery, Zhao Pu can't find any other opponent besides losing to Lu Duoxun.

Now that Lu Duoxun has gone to Taiyuan, Zhao Pu can be said to be unrivaled.

Dou Yi also said: "Opening Enke will help alleviate the current shortage of talent reserves in the imperial court. Your Majesty is wise."

The civil servants are also flattering one after another.

The launch of the imperial examination is also a great good thing for them.

Especially for those who have the opportunity to serve as examiners, they will gain both fame and fortune.

If within the assessment under control, a few talented people emerge as disciples, they can also benefit future generations.

Who wouldn't be tempted by such a good thing?

Luo Youdu glanced at the many excited civil servants and said: "This imperial examination is unprecedented in scale. Therefore, the candidates for the tribute examination should be given top priority. If you have suitable candidates, you can recommend them to me.

"

Everyone he glanced at felt hopeful and energetic.

After Feng Yi, a Hanlin bachelor and the son of the emperor, went down to the court to offer wine, he walked quickly.

"Brother Shouli!"

Hearing the call, Feng Yi stopped and turned around to see Li Mu, the Minister of Civil Service, with a trace of fear in his eyes.

The number one person in charge of the Ministry of Personnel is undoubtedly Shangshu, but Zhang Zhao, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, is ill and is recuperating at home.

The current person in charge of the official department is Li Mu, the minister.

In the last imperial examination, Li Mu was the popular candidate, but Dou Yan took the lead.

Now that Dou Yan is missing, Li Mu's chances are even greater.

Feng Yi responded humbly.

The two of them left the palace together without saying a word.

It wasn't until he reached a place with few people that Li Mu said, "Brother Shouli, who do you think is qualified to be the examiner of Enke this time?"

Feng Yi said: "Of course it's you, Brother Meng Yong."

Li Mu said: "I feel that Brother Shouli has a greater chance. When it comes to scholarly connections, how can I be as good as Brother Shouli?"

Feng Yi's face darkened. His father was Feng Dao, an evergreen tree in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Although he died many years ago, his legacy still cares about the Feng family.

Li Mu glanced at Feng Yi and said: "You and I actually have the same opportunities, but don't ignore anyone. Brother Xiang Xian, he has a father who is a prime minister, so he has more advantages than us."

Brother Xiangxian is talking about Wang Yisun, the son of the then Prime Minister Wang Pu.

Feng Yi was thoughtful and said in a deep voice: "What does Brother Meng Yong mean?"

Li Mudao: "We are all of the same ideals, but this matter concerns our future. No one believes that we should be humble to each other. How about we join hands to suppress Brother Xiangxian, and you and I can each rely on our own abilities?"

Feng Yi did not agree, but was obviously moved.

Wangzhai!

"Father! You called me!"

With a smile on his face, Wang Yisun sat respectfully in front of Wang Pu, but what he was thinking about was how to talk to his father and ask him to help him clear the relationship and serve as the examiner of Enke this time.

Wang Pu, however, said with a stern face and a cold expression on his face: "To prevent His Majesty from moving the capital, can you participate in it?"

Wang Yisun's face froze and he said, "Father, why do you say this?"

When Wang Pu saw this, he felt relieved. He grabbed the tea utensil beside him and threw it over. He cursed angrily: "I was misled by this traitor! What a great person your Majesty is. Do you think you can influence his image just by yourself? He deliberately let this happen.

You are making trouble so that you can make room for the talents from Jiangnan and Bashu!"
