Chapter 1278 The interview conditions set by the Empress!?
"Wife, Xun Kuangfei begged me to leave the palace, and I agreed reluctantly. It's just the right time to help you do something important, so I'm leaving the palace! Love you, muah."
In the imperial study, Xia Fengxiang looked at the note that Ku Yue had just handed over.
Behind the curtain, Xia Fengxiang pinched his brows, then looked at Kuyue, who was blinking her big eyes and looking up proudly.
I was about to say something, but when I saw Kuyue's expression,
It's obvious that the idiot knew that he might lose his temper, so he sent an even idiot to block the attack!
Humph!
It’s not what you want!
I won’t talk about her!
"I understand." Xia Fengxiang looked at Kuyue.
Ku Yue grinned, turned around and ran to stand next to Yan Yunxiao.
Instead, Xia Fengxiang looked down at the note and remained silent for a moment.
Xun Kuang.
Is it about the Imperial College?
Su Changan discovered it, so he went there?
However, he had the final say on matters concerning the Imperial College, so he just went there.
It's almost time to solve it, as more and more people have been submitting memorials recently.
Thinking of this, Xia Fengxiang looked at Mu Xu. The old scholar was obviously very tired and under a lot of pressure recently. He looked much thinner.
Xia Fengxiang lifted the curtain and looked at the people in the imperial study.
There were not many people, still the same people, but Wei Xuancheng was missing and there was Wei Jiu, the Minister of Personnel.
Xia Fengxiang said, "Mu Xu."
Mu Xu immediately stood up from his chair, bowed and replied: "Your Excellency is here."
Xia Fengxiang asked, "Is there anything going on in the Imperial College today?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xu immediately said, "Your Majesty, some foreign scholars will be coming to study at the Imperial College today. This was decided earlier, and both Your Majesty and Your Majesty have agreed. Your Majesty even said, 'Learn from the barbarians to defeat them.' Therefore, I have specifically instructed that we engage in cultural exchanges with them."
The last four words were also said by the Empress.
According to what Her Majesty said, although other countries are learning from our Great Xia, it does not mean that other countries have nothing to learn from our Great Xia.
Mu Xu agreed with this point. After all, other countries were not without wise men. Moreover, the Empress had been emphasizing it over the past few months. For example, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had discovered new astrology from people in India, and had also made considerable progress in numerology. Even the Sino-Agricultural Temple had obtained a lot of vegetables because of the vegetables that the Empress emphasized, and they had already started planting them.
Although they are all trivial matters, it does not mean that they are trivial there. They will always be trivial in my Great Xia.
It's like the Rubik's Cube invented by the Empress. Those people in the Art Department said they figured out something from it and they were calculating like crazy all day long.
After the Empress knew about it, she specifically emphasized her support for them and said that numerology was very important!
All these made Mu Xu very pleased, and learning is learning, the sea of knowledge is endless, and the sea of knowledge is not just about words and principles.
Xia Fengxiang frowned, a scholar from a foreign country.
But after thinking about it, what could happen?
So he changed the subject: "What else?"
Mu Xu was stunned when he heard this: "Others?"
After thinking for a moment, Mu Xu watched the emperor lift the veil and look at him, and he immediately spoke: "There is a misunderstanding. Some people are restless. Because the imperial examination interview conditions formulated by this old minister and Liu Kan and others did not meet the requirements, many children did not meet them. So they used this small incident of two children to target Xun Kuang. Someone mentioned it here, but this old minister thought it was not a big deal, so he did not report it to Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Su Wenqing had his eyes closed originally, but when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows, opened one eye to look at Mu Xu, and then closed his eyes again.
The recent major event is the rising tide in the south. Your Majesty is considering repairing and raising the dikes to prevent further damage. Then there's the war in the north. While we've had a series of great victories, many matters still need to be discussed. There's also the issue of Liaozhou immigration and spring planting seeds. And then there's Shu.
The imperial examination comes first.
However, the emperor never mentioned it again after handing it over to Mu Xu.
It suddenly came up today.
and
It was Deputy Commander Shentu who sent the note over.
It seems that the eldest girl has gone to the Imperial College.
Yang Mu and his group opposed the addition of interviews to the imperial examinations, and also opposed reforms to the written examinations.
It seems that His Majesty and the eldest girl are going to take action against them.
Su Wenqing closed his eyes and said nothing.
Yang Shanchang, Li Jiulang and the others are all foxes that can travel thousands of miles.
In such an imperial study, His Majesty will talk to you about useless things.
Every word spoken by the emperor from here on out has a profound meaning.
Xia Fengxiang directly pulled open the curtain: "Is there anyone who can't sit still?"
Mu Xu immediately said, "It's my fault for using bad words. And this matter is also my fault. I took the exam that Your Majesty set up in the palace into consideration and raised the interview requirements a lot. For example, those who have committed crimes within the past three years will not be accepted. Those whose bloodline within two generations has committed crimes will not be accepted either. Those who have bad conduct and academic records when taking the provincial, county, or state exams will not be accepted either. Furthermore, I'm thinking of adding those with gambling debts or ambiguous relationships with prostitutes, but this is still under discussion."
At this point, Mu Xu looked at the others and said awkwardly, "It's a bit strict, and as a result, many children from noble families with many relatives are unable to participate in the interview, and naturally, they can't take the imperial examination."
At this point, Mu Xu quickly looked at Xia Fengxiang and bowed. "I almost forgot about those noble families who have been sending money to the homes of my colleagues at the Imperial College these days. I have decided not to accept their gifts, as they are considered to be academic misconduct. I have reported this to Her Majesty, and Her Majesty has accepted all the money and asked me to use it to build a private school. I didn't refuse, but I have been busy with the imperial examinations recently and haven't yet decided to do anything about it."
None of the people in the imperial study looked at Mu Xu.
Of course they know these.
And in Gao Rou's words, "The old man set these rules to destroy the roots of those aristocratic families. No wonder he was scolded like that."
After all, the family is big and powerful, with so many relatives. Although there is a condition of two generations, there are no clean people among them.
At least five or six out of ten families were unable to take the imperial examinations for at least two generations.
If it’s not useless, then what is it!
What if all the families are the Qinghe Cui family, Langya Wang family and other serious and upright families?
But everyone was surprised.
I only knew that it was this old guy who made it.
But he just said that it was modeled after the Empress’s examination in the palace?
This is interesting.
Was this made by the Empress?
If it was the Empress who did it, then I can understand why the old man is so stubborn and doesn't care even though things are so messed up in private.
If only the Empress had given me some advice.
The old man is so mean!
Isn't this just letting those people run directly into the edge of His Majesty's sword?
Xia Fengxiang looked at Mu Xu: "Your family?"
Then he smiled and asked, "Daxia, are there still noble families? I thought there were no more. It turns out there are still noble families, or people who want to become noble families."
Just a few words.
This immediately made the officials in the imperial study afraid to straighten their backs.
The massacre and exile of those families in the south are still vivid in my mind.
Xia Fengxiang said, "Mu Xu, ask those who can't sit still, what does the word 'noble' mean?"
Mu Xu immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I obey your command."
Xia Fengxiang waved his hand, glanced at the people below, and then said, "Wei Jiu, I want you to select a group of talented people from those who have never held an official position or those who are about to be transferred. Do you have the list?"
