Chapter 24 Out of the Shadows
To solve big problems, you need great wisdom. Tang Shaoyi walked back and forth three times in the same place and found a solution.
"Everyone, the civil servant exam is different from the old imperial examinations, so many rules do not have to be the same. The imperial examinations include the title of top scholar, Tanhua, and the second-level examination. This exam is not copied, only one-level, two-level, etc., so the number of people can be flexible. I think this is the case. These four optimal test papers are all included in the first-level. If there is no optimal for the remaining test papers, then these four people will be designated as one-level, and the third of the first-level will be two-level. If there are other optimal, then all the optimal papers will be presented to the holy text and the emperor will set the first-level ranking. How about it?"
This approach is not biased. Both Zaize, Zhou Xuexi and Liang Shi are acceptable, and they are not harming each other. In fact, no matter how the final ranking of these best test papers is, the ministers in the department must be reused. The ones that everyone is fighting for are nothing more than a matter of face. They all want to let the top scorer fall into the department...
Ministers of various ministries have devoted great enthusiasm to the intense review work for several consecutive days. Candidates have lived up to expectations and have produced quite outstanding figures in all subjects. Taking medical departments as an example, there is a candidate named Zhu Shenhui who graduated from Harvard University with a doctoral thesis titled "China's Tuberculosis". He put forward unique insights on public health and health, believing that Western medicine hospitals should be built in provincial capitals of various provinces and provincial governments and a nationwide hospital for integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine should be established in the capital. In the vast rural areas, in addition to continuing to promote traditional Chinese medicine, education for the people should also be strengthened, and public health should be improved through measures such as eliminating open-air feces tanks to enhance the people's system...
The traditional scholar-official class was originally disdainful of such suggestions, but in the situation where the plague plague broke out in the three northeastern provinces, this suggestion was quite eye-catching by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Minister of Civil Affairs Shen Dianlin immediately stated that he would send this person to Wu Lien-teh, who was in charge of epidemic prevention in Northeast China, as an assistant. If it was effective, he would be appointed as the fourth-ranking director of the Health Department and be nominated for such a white-hearted person, which shows his intention to use it.
Although Zhang Quan, who also graduated from Cornell University in the United States, only obtained a master's degree in law, he also obtained the qualification of an American lawyer, studied constitutional law, and was particularly proficient in the international public law system. He pointed out incisively that since the Boxernian, China and the West have suffered repeated losses, in addition to the lack of national strength and officials' fear, unfamiliarity and even indifference to international public law are important reasons. Many negotiations that do not involve sovereignty and rights are not the case, because the Chinese negotiators are unconscious, the country often has to pay more to save it.
Under the framework of "Advice of Constitutional System Reform", he also analyzed the five ministers' investigation abroad: first, he fully affirmed the necessity of this move, and believed that it opened the horizon to the important officials of the court. "Even if we know only, it is worth mentioning that we dare to set the trend first." At the same time, he also sincerely pointed out the shortcomings, believing that "the constitutionalism of various countries is quite different. Even in the same case, Country A and Country B handled complete contradictions, which was not as leisurely as themselves. In line with the national conditions, but were at a loss with the scholars. Now, they imitate the industry.
Focus on learning goals... Japan is also the one closest to China..." Finally, he believed that the law should be revised. Although according to the law, the constitution should be formulated and the rest of the laws should be discussed after completion, China's situation is special, and the constitution is greatly affected by politics, but the rest of the laws are relatively simple. He called for "If the other laws under the constitutional system are in place and effective, the constitution is about to come out and what is going far away; if there is only the constitution and the other laws are still the same, the inside and outside are different, and the constitution is still just a piece of paper..."
Dai Hongci and Zaize were both among the five ministers, and they were deeply moved by this. Dai Hongci also arranged a place for him to assist the Minister of Justice Shen Jiaben to carry out his work.
...After several consecutive days of hard work, the marking of the professional preliminary examination was finally completed as scheduled. The statistics of relevant results finally made Tang Shaoyi feel relieved - the situation was much better than the qualification preliminary examination, the pass rate finally rose to more than 50%, and various outstanding talents continued to emerge.
In addition to Chinese, the list of other subjects is also roughly arranged, and the relevant overlap rate has also been reduced a lot. The job-seeking ratio for positions above 7 has entered a reasonable range, and it is no longer necessary to conduct job re-examination.
Of course, there are exceptions in everything. Although the Chinese subject passes the lowest rate in the first exam, it turns out that all those who can pass the first exam have several tricks, and the relevant competition is extremely fierce. One is the smallest position in the Chinese subject, and the other is the largest number of people who register for the Chinese subject. This is the smallest, and one is the largest, resulting in extremely fierce competition in the Chinese subject. The number of candidates who can be considered the best by the marking group alone has reached eleven, and the rest are excellent, good, and medium-level levels are far more than the other subjects.
Tang Shaoyi carefully read the reports he sent out three times, and signed his own name under the column after the publication, which means that the official department of the representative office recognized this.
With the announcement of the yellow list, bursts of praise sounded from the streets of the capital. Many people stopped and watched, and many people pointed at the names of the first and first students in each subject. Although the final result will not be announced until the first day of next month, in their hearts, these first students seemed to be like the top scholar in the imperial examination era before, and it was inevitable to reuse it - have you heard that the top scholar was sitting on the bench?
However, the list of Chinese subjects with the most popular and most followers has been delayed. The rest of the subjects were already made public at dawn, but the announcement of Chinese subjects came late when the sunset was approaching. And unlike other subjects, there is no indication of the first, second, and third grade levels, and there is only a long list of names - anyone on the list is eligible to participate in the post re-examination the day after tomorrow.
All the anxious eyes started searching among the hundreds of names. Everyone who saw their name cheered and couldn't help but feel depressed, and they looked unwillingly...
On the day the results were released, all the various aspects of life were undoubtedly revealed, and the joys and sorrows were caused by several families.
In the Palace of Yangxin, Lin Guangyu, who had been ignoring political affairs for several days and ignored important officials, finally got out of a state of self-enclosure.
Looking at the emperor with a sunken eyes and a gloomy expression, all the ministers were sad and persuaded: "The empress is promoted to immortality, and the emperor should be mourning and obeying changes; the state is difficult, so the emperor must take care of the dragon's body first."
—
"Get up." Lin Guangyu's voice was still full of sorrow, but it had improved a lot compared to hearing the bad news. "Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. I don't know this. I just feel sad that the Queen and I have a good life in a few days, and they have left so quickly, and they..."
"The emperor is mourning. If the first empress knows under the spring, she will be grateful to the emperor for his kindness. Such feelings will be like being close to the emperor."
Jing Hou, the president of the ceremony, replied: "The Queen's funeral ceremony has been arranged, and I have only waited for auspicious times. The only thing I have to worry about is that the emperor's tomb has not been prepared, so the queen's coffin has to be stopped in various villages of the Liang villages of Xiling, and then be reburied after the Chongling is repaired."
Originally, Lin Guangyu was not positive about the construction of the emperor's tomb, but now that Long Yu's death is imminent, the construction of Chongling has also entered the fast lane.
"I'll bother you."
"I have already formulated a title for the first queen. Please check it out, but I wonder if I should?"
Although the posthumous title of "Xiaoding Long Yu Kuang Hui Shen Zhe Xie Xie Tian Bao Shengjing Queen" is not as good as that of Cixi's posthumous title, Lin Guangyu did not care about it, and only explained: "During his lifetime, the queen advocated state affairs first and advocated frugality, and the funeral ceremony should not be too futile to avoid the queen's restlessness."
"I will obey the order."
In fact, in terms of Longyu's personality, although she is not as extravagant as Cixi, she still has some yearning for vanity. But she has one advantage. After Cixi's death, due to the improvement of her husband-wife relationship, she obeyed Lin Guangyu's words, reduced the scale of the emperor and advocated frugality, but she still did it. This person has passed away, and there is no morality in what she did, so the emperor of course also had to make a gift for her - this is also human nature.
"The queen was always concerned about female students during her lifetime, saying that if women want to be self-reliant, they must read and read. After years of makeup, they have been sponsoring female students, but they suddenly left the world and did not use it. Now I am the leader of the queen and donated it to the Imperial Women's Normal University together, 5 taels are used as school funds, and the remaining 20 taels are set up scholarships to commend female students with excellent character and academic performance..."
"The queen's kindness will be admired by all people and will be passed down for thousands of years."
"I am tired, please step back first." After explaining everything, Lin Guangyu felt exhausted - perhaps, he was too sad these days?
Tang Shaoyi was secretly anxious in the crowd. He originally wanted to ask about the civil servant examination and palace examination. But seeing that the emperor was not energetic, he was not inconvenient to talk too much. Although he was hesitant, he could only prepare to leave with the rest of the people.
Before he stepped out of the gate, Lin Guangyu seemed to remember something when he saw his back, and asked Wang Shang to pass on a message: "The palace examination date will not change, and I will still preside over the presidency."
Tang Shaoyi was overjoyed: The emperor survived! The emperor, who was talented and had the responsibility of the world, finally came out of the pain of widowhood! Third Opportunity Volume 3 Chapter 24 Walk out of the shadow
