This will help to more comprehensively examine the comprehensive abilities and personal qualities of the candidates.
After the memorial was written, Li Chengqian and Zhuang Zhou also signed their names.
In this way, the three of them reached a consensus.
Li Chengqian then ordered someone to send it to the palace immediately.
That night, the memorial arrived at Li Er's desk.
After reading it carefully, he couldn't help but praise Zhuang Zhou's advice and the new test questions.
This was exactly what he had been thinking about lately.
Kong Yingda and the prince had previously submitted the examination questions for the Spring Examination, but they were both rejected by Li Er.
Li Er was very depressed about this.
Why can't they understand what I'm thinking?
Just when Li Er was worried, this memorial finally came.
This is actually what he really thinks in his heart!
The imperial examination was established as the only promotion channel for the court to select talents.
It is clear that the intention is to break the monopoly of the aristocratic families and noble clans.
then.
The next day, Li Er ordered the gathering of important officials in the court to discuss the reform of the imperial examination system.
Of course, Zhuang Zhou also attended the court meeting.
At the court meeting, Li Er announced Zhuang Zhou's advice and the new examination questions for the Spring Examination to the public, and solicited the opinions of all ministers.
After a heated discussion, the important officials in the court finally reached a consensus and agreed to reform the imperial examination system.
In particular, the civil service group headed by Kong Yingda strongly praised this reform, saying it would select more outstanding talents for the Tang Dynasty and promote its prosperity.

He finalized the matter entirely based on his personal prestige.
Zhuang Zhou's advice was recognized and supported by the court, and he became famous because of it.
In particular, the imperial court announced that Zhuang Zhou would serve as the deputy examiner of the spring imperial examination, so he became even more famous among scholars and students.
After the court meeting.
Zhuang Zhou left the palace. The carriage was driving on the streets of Chang'an City, slowly heading towards the Zhuang Mansion.
In fact, Zhuang Zhou was also full of expectations about the reform of the imperial examination system.
Of course, he also hoped that Li Er would adopt this suggestion and promote the reform of the imperial examination system.

It allows children from poor families to make a name for themselves in officialdom through their own talents and hard work.
It also injected new vitality into the development of Datang.
Although it is a bit extreme to only give priority to the Jinshi degree.
But this kind of thing is still the same even in later generations.
This is equivalent to saying that culture and academic qualifications are actually two completely different things.
Culture is culture, and academic qualifications are academic qualifications.
Being cultured does not necessarily mean having an academic degree, and having an academic degree does not necessarily mean being truly cultured.
The same was true when the Tang Dynasty implemented the system of exclusively honoring Jinshi candidates for official positions.
The imperial examination system lasted for more than 1,300 years.
It has undergone countless reforms.
But this time the court's resolution was undoubtedly a solid step towards the reform of the imperial examination system.
In this regard, this is the most fair and advanced official selection system in the world in this era.
