In the imperial study.
The Minister of Rites Wang Lun stood below with his body bowed.
At the top, Wei Yunyi sat in the main seat, flipping through the memorial in his hand.
These are the questions for the palace examination that the Minister of Rites just sent over today.
Although the above content has complicated annotations and quotes from classics.
But because of patience.
Wei Yunyi still finished reading it.
After all, at this time, Concubine Ying is no longer around, and she can only rely on herself.
Of course, the content is not very important. What is important is the test questions.
The Ministry of Rites drafted three in total.
Not only does it sound awkward.
It seems even more difficult to understand.
Especially for Wei Yunyi, if he had not read some books during this period, he would probably not understand the meaning of the above.
As for the topic, he could fully understand it. It was nothing more than the same old thing about governing a country.
Then let the candidates use their talents and write down their own opinions around this topic.
Therefore, after reading it, Wei Yunyi immediately shook his head.
Such test questions.
Not only is it unoriginal, it also has no practical effect.
And in the past few days, he has already thought it through.
That is, for this exam question, you must not only undermine your own prestige.
More importantly, we must select real talents.
What kind of talents?
Of course, he is a talent who can bring disaster to the court and ruin its fortune!
Wei Yunyi thought about it for a long time and felt that the reason why there was no progress in ruining his luck in the past few months was because of this.
In addition to the fact that his own direction was wrong, he also had no talented people under his command.
Take my father-in-law for example, he can only be considered a mediocre official.
Although it was arranged to the cabinet.
But the cabinet is not under the control of Song Gongwen alone, there is also Zhang Zhengming who makes the decisions above him.
In this situation, it is of no use to rely solely on mediocre officials to ruin the country's destiny.
For example, the last time the land tax was distributed among the households, it was very important to me.
It is a very profound lesson.
so.
Wei Yunyi felt that he must look for more real treacherous ministers.
For example, someone like Sun Kejian, who is good at speaking and extremely smooth, is obviously a treacherous official.
During this period, the other party was reported by the ministers and had committed crimes such as doing business privately.
After this experience, he considered this kind of talent.
There are still too few of them in the court.
We have to dig more.
Help me to ruin the fortune of Wei.
In this way, coupled with the national strength consumed by the Grand Canal and the Weizhi Road, even though the national strength of the Wei Dynasty is now heading towards its peak, it will definitely not be able to withstand it.
Now that I have the imperial examination, I must make good use of it.
Although the palace examination has now begun.
Can reach this level.
Almost all of them are talented people.
But who says that if you have talent, you can’t be a treacherous official?
But now, the test questions prepared by the people in the Ministry of Rites are too unreliable.
How can I select the talents I need?
You still have to rely on yourself.
Fortunately.
In the past few days, Wei Yunyi had a general idea after thinking about it day and night.
The imperial examination system of the Wei Dynasty also continued that of the previous dynasty, mainly using two types of questions.
One is called: sticking scriptures.
The other type is called: policy essay.
The so-called "sticking scriptures" is equivalent to filling in the blanks and doing reading comprehension.
A passage is selected from various Confucian classics, with a few words intentionally left blank, for the candidates to fill in, and then briefly describe the meaning of the passage.
This is equivalent to a basic knowledge test. Only candidates who are truly familiar with Confucian classics are eligible to enter the next round of marking.
As for policy essays, it is to formulate a test question, express yourself freely, and write down your own opinions and discussions.
In other words, it is equivalent to an essay.
The former is relatively simple and is usually used in provincial examinations or metropolitan examinations.
It is also used in the palace examination, but it is relatively rare. After all, the palace examination is the highest level of examination and is of great significance.
But policy essays are completely different.
You need to develop your thinking to the maximum extent and write unique insights.
Therefore, it is also the most commonly used type of examination questions in the palace examination.
Wei Yunyi decided that this palace examination would test policy essays!
He immediately gathered himself and looked at the Minister of Rites below him and said, "None of the questions proposed by the Ministry of Rites are acceptable. This is the first imperial examination of our dynasty, so naturally it must be different."
None of them work?
Wang Lun was stunned when he heard this.
He has been the Minister of Rites for nearly ten years.
The imperial examinations during the previous emperor's time were mostly formulated by himself and there were never any problems.
Even if it was put in the cabinet, in the hands of Grand Tutor Zhang Zhengming, he could only give some opinions at most.
But the general direction will not change.
otherwise.
When Wang Lun was formulating the exam questions, he would not quote from classics or use the words of sages, just to give his questions a basis.
I thought that this time I entered the palace, His Majesty would definitely approve it, but I didn't expect this result.
Of course, even if he had some opinions and doubts in his heart, he would not express them.
He just bowed and said, "What does your majesty mean?"
"I will personally decide on the changes!"
Wei Yunyi waved his hand and said directly: "The topic of this palace examination is, On the tyrant emperors of all time!"
Isn’t the purpose of policy essays to open up minds and allow candidates to speak freely?
It just so happens that I am now having some problems as a tyrant ruler.
There is no way to ruin your luck.
It would be better to pool wisdom and ask candidates from all over the world how to be a tyrant.
