Wen Yanbo, Wang Cun, and Su Shi are all people who have experienced the officialdom. Seeing Zhao Xu constantly deviate from his original words, the knowledge is about to get to the point.

No one will regard today as the official family in the palace as boring, and bring the whole family to the lantern festival.

There were many channels for the Song Dynasty to join the imperial court, and many people without fame entered the imperial court, but the imperial examination was already the largest and most important.

Increasing the number of admissions for poor families will inevitably squeeze the number of officials in aristocratic families!

Wang Cun glanced at Wen Yanbo, who was alive and said calmly: "Officials, the imperial examinations are the pursuit of scholars. Anyone who can achieve the grades will be studied hard for more than ten years or even decades. If the court deliberately and prefers to admit it, it will be unfair to some real talents and learners, and it does not conform to the original intention of the court to gather talents. Please think twice."

Meng Tang looked at Wang Cun, puzzled.

The court has demanded that the imperial examination reform be carried out for a day or two, especially that the Grand Prince repeatedly requested that the number of admissions for poor families be increased at the Political Affairs Hall meeting. This is obviously the common idea between the government and the Grand Prince.

Wang Cun said this obviously unhappy the officials, but why did he persist?

"Hey, this dim sum is good. Zhao Ji brought some for me last time. Let's try them all today. Everyone will take them to don't move, I'll buy them."

Zhao Xu suddenly saw a stall not far away, with white and steaming pastries on it.

Everyone was stunned. Without waiting for their reaction, Zhao Xu, who had walked a few steps, came back again. Looking at Queen Meng, he touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I didn't bring the money, have you brought it?"

Empress Meng blinked, suddenly turned to look at Meng Tang, and said, "Mugu, have you brought it?"

Zhao Xu is the emperor and has no habit of bringing money. Empress Meng has been in the palace for a long time and has not had this.

Meng Tang almost subconsciously took out a handful of copper coins.

Zhao Xu snatched it over and said, "I will go back to the palace later and ask your sister to return it to you."

Zhao Xu said, then turned around to buy pastries.

The secret guard behind him moved quietly and followed Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu picked and chose, chose seven or eight yuan, paid back, opened it in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "Come on, try it, it's a good idea to move slightly."

Wang Cun knew very well that Zhao Xu was unhappy when he said just now, so he didn't dare to move.

Wen Yanbo naturally would not be the first to take action, and he did not move with a crutch.

Su Shi's expression was a bit obscure, and he lived up to his elegance just now, as if he was worried.

Meng Tang would not know much about it.

However, Empress Meng took one piece first, then another piece, handed it to Meng Tang, and said with a smile: "I will not pay back the money if I give you a piece of pastry."

Meng Tang was still a little confused, not knowing what was going on, so he reached out to take it and looked at his sister with a faint look.

Queen Meng did not explain and took care of her clothes for Brother Quan.

Zhao Xu turned to Wang Cun and said, "Wang Qing's family, eat a piece. I want me to invite pastries on the street. The second time I don't know it's the year of the Monkey and Horse Month."

Wang Cun bowed respectfully, reached out and took out a piece, but didn't dare to put it in his mouth, so he just stood there.

Zhao Xu smiled and turned to Wen Yanbo.

Wen Yanbo calmly and said, "Thank you for the official family."

As he said that, he picked it up, put it slowly in his mouth, bit it a little, tasted it gently, and said with a smile: "It's really delicious, no wonder the official family likes it."

Zhao Xu took a piece in his right hand and held Xiang Su Shi with his left hand, but asked Xiang Wen Yanbo, saying, "Wenqing's family, do you think Wang Qing's words are reasonable?"

Wen Yanbo swallowed the mouth, looked serious and said, "The problem of imbalance in the imperial examinations in the official family actually occurred in the Renzong Dynasty. The difference between Jiangnan and Jiangbei was very abrupt. In the seventh year of Yuanfeng, the eighth recorded in Jiangnan and the two recorded in Jiangbei were found. Under such an imbalance, I may have a big problem."

The problem Wen Yanbo mentioned is actually very simple. The southern culture is prosperous, and the number of people who have won the imperial examinations has been rising steadily over the years, and has reached an 8 to 2 level!

If this continues, Jiangbei may not be able to get the first place!

This is indeed a terrible problem!

Zhao Xu nodded slightly and said, "What the Qing family says is reasonable, what does the Su Qing family think?"

Zhao Xu suddenly looked at Su Shi, who had already taken a piece of pastry in his hand.

Su Shi once served as the Minister of Rites and as the chief examiner of the imperial examination. He glanced at Wen Yanbo and Wang Cun and said, "Officials, deliberately differentiated admissions may lead to talents being defeated and the court loses the people's hearts. What the court should do should be to inspire education in the north and balance the north and the south."

Wang Cun, Wen Yanbo, and Su Shi all deliberately avoided the topic of enrolling in poor families.

Zhao Xu was eating the pastry and suddenly felt dry and said, "Sage, give me a sip of Brother Quan's water. Pipi, find a cup of tea for several Qing's family."

When Empress Meng took out Brother Quan's kettle, Chenpi had already made arrangements.

Zhao Xu took a sip of water and saw Brother Quan waving his little hand, his little face looked a little unhappy.

Zhao Xu smiled, took out a small bowl, poured a small cup, and fed Brother Quan, and said, "Drink slowly, drink slowly... There are many problems in the imperial examination. It seems that everyone has a consensus. That's all. Now, it's fine. How to change it, the direction, method and method of reform, and it's normal to have controversy. In this way, we will support the reform plan of the Grand Queen first. If there is any problem, I will come forward to tell the Grand Queen that if it should be abolished, and if it should be changed, what do the three Qing families think?"

If it were the late emperor, Wen Yanbo, Wang Cun would squirt on his neck.

But Zhao Xu, they didn't dare, and of course they knew that it was useless to squirt.

The biggest difference between the official family in front of him and the late emperor was that he lacked the awe of Shilin.

Without awe, it means that he will not care, nor will he worry. For such an official, if he uses the old method, he will die early and bring disaster to the family.

Wang Cun was silent, and they could hardly interfere in the reform of the imperial examination.

All these plans were tinkered with by Zhang Dun and others, and they objected and were ignored.

In his opinion, the "New Party" in the Political Affairs Hall occupied five of the seven members and had absolute voice. Even if the voice was loud, he and Wen Yanbo could only yell in the Political Affairs Hall under the request of "internal disputes and external unity".

Wen Yanbo silently said, "Is the Ministry of Rites the admission to Enke this year mainly based on the Ministry of Rites?"

Zhao Xu, the chief examiner of Encade this year, has long been decided by Li Qingchen, Minister of Rites, and Shen Kuo, Priest of the Imperial College.

According to the rules, the list of imperial examinations and Jinshi is reviewed by the Hanlin Academy and is decided by the examiners of all sizes.

Zhao Xu stood on the street, eating pastries, and occasionally drank Quan Ge's water. He had no majesty and solemnity that an official should have. He nodded while eating and drinking, and said in a vague way: "It should be like this, does Wenqing's family have any ideas?"

Wen Yanbo said: "Officials and ministers believe that if there is a dispute, the government affairs hall should make unanimous decisions. If there is an inconsistency, major affairs of the country must be decided by the court."

Wang Cun's expression changed slightly. Shouldn't it be the officials who made a decision? Why is it a court discussion?

Isn’t Wen Yanbo afraid of angering the officials?

Su Shi also looked suspicious.

"Can."

Zhao Xu responded casually and said, "The matter of the imperial examination is decided like this. Let's talk about the land mu, and the land mu reform. There are two disputes now. One is that the court invested money and repurchased the land mu from the gentry every year and handed it to the people. Some people say that this is a robbery of the court and absent from the court. The court should adopt the principle of voluntary ruling. Those who are unwilling to sell should not be forced. Second, it is a blow to entrusting scholars to avoid taxes. Some people say that this is difficult to distinguish, and it may hurt the hearts of the scholars and the harm is more harmful than good. What do you think?"
