In the Daming Palace, Li Longji listened to Yao Chong's report and praised with a smile: "Not bad! Very good! In such a short period of time, you have such a situation. You are quite good as a prime minister." It¡¯s amazing, and the execution is top-notch. With him watching from behind, the ministers dare not fail to do their best. Sometimes, the executing officials haven¡¯t discovered the problem yet, but Yao Chong discovered it in advance and sent someone to tell the corresponding officials. These officials didn't believe it, so when they checked it out, they found it was true. Such things are not just one or two, but numerous. As time went by, these officials had no choice but to believe the questions raised by Yao Chong, and Yao Chong's persuasiveness reached an unprecedented height. "Your Majesty, this is far from enough." Yao Chong did not look happy, and raised his thick eyebrows, saying: "Although progress has been made in eradicating the long-standing abuses, there are more and more illegal activities, and the problems faced by officials are more difficult. Song Jing must come back as soon as possible. "As the reform unfolds, the more things are touched and the interests of more and more people are touched, the greater their backlash becomes, and the greater the pressure Yao Chong faces. In order to protect their own interests, those whose interests are affected will use all means to oppose and stop it. This requires someone who can control them and make them despair, and this must be Song Jing. "Yeah." Li Longji nodded heavily and said, "I heard that your threshold has been crossed, and people looking for you to camp can fill a street." "Hey." Yao Chong shook his head helplessly and said, " Although I had long expected that something like this would happen, when it happened, I was really helpless. "So many people came to Yao Chong for help. It¡¯s impossible to kill them all, right? Even if you have to dispose of them all. This requires a lot of manpower. The current task is to eliminate the long-standing disadvantages. There were not enough manpower, and there was nowhere to send manpower to deal with this matter. Therefore, Yao Chong also felt a little helpless. "Song Jing must come back quickly." Li Longji said: "With Song Jing's uprightness, as long as he stops there, I believe these campers will restrain themselves a lot." Song Jing is upright and selfless, and his uprightness can make you despair . Those who work in the camp are intimidated by his reputation, and I believe they will restrain themselves a lot. "Zhang Jianzhi is ready. I will ask him to set off soon." Song Jing must come back early. This requires Zhang Jianzhi to exchange him back. Therefore, it is appropriate for Zhang Jianzhi to go to Tianzhu as soon as possible. After Zhang Jianzhi received the order, he immediately set off and hurriedly traveled. After arriving in Tianzhu, he replaced Song Jing. After Song Jing learned that he was needed to come back in China, he completed the handover of official duties and rushed back all the way. Song Jing returned to Chang'an and caused a turmoil. "What? Song Jing is back? No way?" "It's true! He's really back! This piece of wood is back. We're finished." "Wood? You underestimate him too much. He's just a piece of iron. That's right. All his threats and inducements are useless. It seems that we are in big trouble. "Song Jing is just a stone in the pit, it's smelly and hard, it's over!" Those whose interests were affected learned the news of Song Jing's return. , feeling desperate. Who doesn't know about Song Jing's uprightness? "It's useless to coerce Song Jing. No matter who you are, even if you are a relative of the emperor, as long as you break the law, he will deal with it according to the law. For such people, these campers can't help but despair. Soon, those who were trying to camp disappeared, and no one dared to think about camping anymore. "Song Jing's reputation is more useful than mine." Li Longji made a joke after learning the news. "The name of a person is like the shadow of a tree. Mr. Song is upright and selfless, and all evils are avoided. It is true!" Yao Chong also joked. In this way, the elimination of long-standing shortcomings has gone more smoothly and is progressing towards the established goal. After some time passed, Yao Chong made a report and said: "Your Majesty, the elimination of long-standing abuses has been carried out step by step, and there will be no big disturbances. I think it is time to open up new subjects and recruit talents." "Okay!" Li Longji said happily: "The decree is: to open a subject to recruit scholars! This time, I will visit the Golden Palace in person to select talents!" The decree was quickly spread throughout the world, and scholars all over the world learned the news. , greatly excited. The Tang Dynasty attached great importance to talents and would reuse talents so that they could be useful. This was the reason why the Tang Dynasty was strong. Not to mention, Li Longji has to personally select talents, and these are the disciples of the emperor. Who can not be inspired? So the scholar packed up his things and rushed to Chang'an to take part in the imperial examination. ??The imperial examination and the "recruitment" ceremony of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the promotion of filial piety and integrity in the Han Dynasty, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, are also known as the four major systems of selecting officials in ancient China. Ten of the top officials are composed ofCome here. Although the imperial examination declined in modern times and was criticized thoroughly, it has to be said that the imperial examination made a huge contribution to the development of Chinese history. Some people may disagree with this, but I would like to remind them that if you look at the names and ministers in the Tang Dynasty, a large part of them came from the imperial examinations. Therefore, the great role of the imperial examination system cannot be denied because of the decline of later generations. After these scholars arrived in Chang'an, they quickly took the imperial examination and selected a group of outstanding candidates. They came to the Golden Palace and waited for Li Longji to come and select them. "Your Majesty, these are the outstanding candidates in this imperial examination. Please take a look at them." Yao Chong presented the long list of outstanding candidates. Zhang Shuo, Di Renjie, Wang Xiaojie, and Song Jing all came. Because the imperial examination was of great importance, they were also concerned about it and had to come. Li Longji took it and unfolded it, his eyes almost fell to the ground. "There are so many famous officials!" Li Longji stared closely at the famous names on the list, very happy, and secretly said in his heart: "Almost all the Kaiyuan officials are here!" Li Longji was very satisfied with the result. He smiled and said: "Let's go! Follow me to the Golden Palace! I want to see them." In this way, Li Longji led Yao Chong and others to the Golden Palace, and the officials met with them. "Ask them to come up." Li Longji opened his mouth lightly and said. The scholars who had been waiting outside the Golden Palace for a long time filed in under the guidance of the eunuch. After entering the Golden Palace. Some people looked around. Some people were a little panicked. There are also a few who are steady and calm. "I have met His Majesty." They greeted Li Longji, opened their eyes wide, and looked at Li Longji with surprise on their faces. When Li Longji was still young, he achieved great success in defeating the Turks, annihilating Tibet, and conquering Tianzhu, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Even Tang Taizong did not have such extraordinary achievements at this age. In the minds of the people of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji was a high and unattainable "god". It would be a great joy in life to witness Li Longji's peerless style. "No need." Li Longji waved his hand and said, "I want to personally select talents, I believe you already know that." "Look, that is Jindun, which is prepared for the outstanding candidates I selected. They can sit. If you are not picked by me, you can only stand." Li Longji pointed to Jin Dun in the front row. The emperor granted me a seat. It was a great honor. The eyes of these scholars were burning, staring at Jindun, wishing they could sit on it immediately. "Your Majesty wants to treat us with special courtesy. I wonder what your Majesty wants to test me for." A scholar, in his mid-twenties, stepped forward and asked. "Yeah." The ministers were greatly surprised. This scholar was so courageous that he dared to ask Li Longji. "Yeah." Li Longji was also surprised and asked, "What's your last name?" "Han Xiu." Han Xiu used his first name. "Han Xiu?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows, eyes flashing, and looked Han Xiu up and down. I saw that this man was seven feet long, with a man's head held high, standing with his head held high and his chest held high, with an extraordinary bearing. His face has clear lines and is rather cold. "What a famous minister. If nothing else, just look at his appearance." Li Longji secretly praised him in his heart. "Han Xiu, tell me, what kind of person does it take to receive my special gift?" Li Longji did not answer directly, but asked a rhetorical question. Li Longji's move was quite clever. He kicked the "ball" back to Han Xiu, which was also a test for him. "Your Majesty, Han Xiu thought that in order to receive your Majesty's special gift, he must have a world-shaking talent." Han Xiu did not panic at all, he was still so calm and unhurried. "So, do you think you can sit on it?" Li Longji asked another question. This question is more difficult and more challenging. If you say you can't, you're losing your prestige; if you say you can, you're bragging. If Li Longji cannot be satisfied, Han Xiu will be finished. This question is really hard to answer. The ministers¡¯ eyes widened and they looked at Han Xiu. "Yes!" Han Xiu only said one word, and his tone was not high, but there was no doubt about it. "Han Xiu, are you talking big words?" Li Longji looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "What virtues and talents do you have to win this special gift from me?" "Han Xiu has no other merits, except the courage to speak." Han Xiu remained calm. "Dare to speak?" Li Longji sneered and said: "Open your eyes and take a closer look. Which civil and military minister in the dynasty dare not speak out? Song Jing is upright, can you compare?" After the initial reform, Those officials who were doing nothing but taking their money and doing nothing have been dismissed. The remaining officials are all upright and selfless people who speak out. The most daring among themSong Jing was the only one to blame. Han Xiu actually boasted that he "dare to speak out", but few people believed him. The ministers looked at Han Xiu and shook their heads. "Master Song is upright and has a good reputation spread all over the world. Han Xiu admires him very much." Han Xiu changed the subject and said: "If he said anything else, Han Xiu would not dare to boast. If he said that he dared to speak, Han Xiu would not be inferior to him. Lord Song. May I ask Your Majesty, is it better to have Lord Song who can speak out, or Han Xiu who can speak out more? " Song Jing is a rare critic in history. He is known for his outspokenness. If there is another critic who dares to speak out like this, it would be a great thing. Who can say anything bad? "You're quite courageous. I've seen it before." Li Longji nodded appreciatively and said, "Han Xiu, sit on it." "Ah!" There was an exclamation, and the ministers were a little disbelieving. Han It's unbelievable that you can get a special gift from Li Longji just by saying a few words of praise. "Me?" Han Xiu was stunned, thinking he heard wrongly: "Your Majesty, why did you let me sit?" "Because I believe in you!" Li Longji nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then with excitement on his face, he greeted Li Longji. How exciting it is to be trusted by Li Longji. Even with Han Xiu's temperament, it is exciting. Then he strode forward and sat on the golden pier. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
