Of course, what Wang Lun cared more about was another point that Song Gongwen said.
That is Your Majesty, who wants to select the talents he wants.
It can also be understood as.
Your Majesty, it is time to build your own team in the new dynasty.
This is nothing, because new emperors almost always do this when they ascend the throne.
And in the three years since his accession to the throne, His Majesty has not changed the positions of any important officials in the court except Li Fang.
Now this imperial examination is also an opportunity!
certainly.
Wang Lun cares more about it.
It was the other party who spoke up, saying that Your Majesty should reflect on himself...
This made him feel a little strange, and he couldn't help but ask, "Sir Song, Your Majesty has only been on the throne for three years and is still young. Why does he need to reflect on the history of foolish emperors?"
Song Gongwen thought for a moment and immediately expressed his thoughts, saying, "Sir Wang, this has nothing to do with how long you've been on the throne or how young you are. As an emperor, you must always examine your actions."
"After all, the emperor holds the sacred artifacts of the country and governs millions of people. This burden is extremely heavy and he cannot relax even a little bit."
"It is said that using copper as a mirror, one can adjust one's attire; using history as a mirror, one can understand the rise and fall of things; using people as a mirror, one can understand gains and losses."
"Your Majesty chose the topic of tyrants because you wanted to learn from history and remain vigilant."
After finishing this speech.
Song Gongwen couldn't help but sigh, thinking that His Majesty was really too clear-headed.
It should be noted that during this period, the reform achieved phased success, and the court won a major victory in the war against Gaoyang State.
If an ordinary emperor were to face these two achievements, he would definitely be satisfied and proud.
But what about Your Majesty?
Don't care about it at all.
He even set such a question during the palace examination to remind himself.
He is indeed the wise ruler of all time in my eyes!
The Minister of Rites Wang Lun, who was sitting opposite him, also fell into deep thought because of what he said.
Because the more I think about it, the more I feel that what Song Gongwen said is right.
Indeed, if Your Majesty did not want to learn from history.
Why do we ask such a question?
Therefore, at this moment, the expression on his face changed from confusion to understanding, and he continued, "Thank you, Lord Song, for clearing up my confusion. Otherwise, I would have never expected this even if I had thought about it so hard!"
To be honest, Wang Lun now began to respect his Majesty.
Throughout history, there have indeed been emperors who were willing to accept advice with an open mind, but few were truly like Your Majesty.
There is almost nothing that can be put directly on the table.
Because the emperor has the dignity of an emperor.
Don't allow others to say more.
But His Majesty doesn't seem to think so.
When discussing the foolish emperors throughout history, I just want to remind myself from the essays written by those candidates.
Moreover, doing so can also select some outspoken talents for the court, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Before, Wang Lun thought that his emperor was an autocratic emperor who often refuted his ministers and completely ignored the memorials from the Censorate. He thought that his emperor was an autocratic emperor who did not listen to other people's opinions.
But now it seems that is not the case.
As expected, I underestimated His Majesty.
So at this moment, he looked at Song Gongwen with a little gratitude in his heart.
At the same time, I also feel that although the questions of this imperial examination may not seem very good, when you think about it carefully, they are indeed the most suitable.
As Your Majesty said, new people bring new atmosphere, and now it is the first imperial examination of the Tianqi Dynasty, so it must be different.
"You are too polite, Lord Wang."
Song Gongwen waved his hand and continued, "You and I are in the court. Although we have different political views, we are both subjects of His Majesty. There is no need to thank me for this kind of thing."
He had also observed the Minister of Rites Wang Lun in front of him during this period of time.
One of the greatest scholars of his time, he also strictly observed etiquette.
Apart from being conservative, there are no other major disadvantages.
So at this time, Song Gongwen would certainly not hide what he was thinking.
Especially about His Majesty.
Because he remembered.
I was promoted by Your Majesty, and I must always consider Your Majesty.
Especially when other ministers do not understand, I must step forward and speak for Your Majesty.
Just like when I was waiting for the teacher on a snowy night.
"good."
After hearing this, Wang Lun did not say much and then invited Song Gongwen to go to the cabinet together.
The most important thing for them now is to decide the topics for the palace examination.
After all, it won’t be long before the palace examination begins.
And when the test questions were presented to the cabinet members.
Almost everyone was shocked and didn't understand what His Majesty meant.
Even Zhang Zhengming was suspicious after seeing this question, and asked Wang Lun if he had misunderstood what His Majesty meant.
Upon seeing this, Song Gongwen repeated what he had said before.
After hearing this explanation, the other cabinet ministers.
Some people believe it.
But some people think there is a problem and want to raise their opinions.
However, in the end, Zhang Zhengming made the final decision. After the test was passed, no one else said anything more.
After all, Wang Lun, Song Gongwen, and the Prime Minister were the only three people who agreed. Even if they thought there was a problem, they felt it was useless to say it out loud.
As for why Zhang Zhengming agreed, it was naturally because he believed what Song Gongwen said.
I think the reason why Your Majesty set this test question.
The purpose is to alert myself.
that's all.
The examination questions for this palace examination were directly determined after passing the review of the cabinet.
