It was already midsummer, and the weather was hot. Although it was surrounded by water, there was no wind. Tang Song had already sweated all the way along. (When I read the novel, I went to the "" yz to enter the Yaoguang Palace where the ice basin was everywhere. I ate the cold air inside, and the sweat beads on my body suddenly stuck all over my body, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Tang Song walked in with his sweat. Seeing him like this, Shangguan Wan'er waved to summon two palace maids, "Come on, prepare fish wine. Lanhong, take Mr. Tang to wash..."

After a simple wash, after drinking a few sips of fish wine and sucking the heat on his body, Tang Song followed Shangguan Wan'er to see Wu Zetian.

Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, Wu Zetian seemed a little tired...", Come on? Let's sit down."

After Tang Song bowed to Wu Zetian, he chose a Hu stool and sat down.

Wu Zetian took Tang Song's charter from the imperial case in front of him and opened it and read it again. "After the morning court today, I discussed with the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall again. If you want to implement all of this charter..." At this point, Wu Zetian shook his head.

Tang Song stepped forward to receive the regulations handed over by Wu Zetian, turned around and turned back to the seat and opened it. He saw that there were small Hongyus as big as mosquitoes and ants on it. To calculate these reds, they were no less than Wenyu in the regulations themselves.

Tang Song had seen Shangguan Wan'er's traces, so he could conclude that this was definitely not from her. It was not hers, but Wu Zetian's. Looking at the dense crowds of pixie in front of him, Tang Song felt much better.

Just as Tang Song opened the memorial and criticized the news, Wu Zetian stood up from the imperial case, carried his hands behind his back and said, "According to what you said in the charter, the foundation of the aristocratic family lies in the prosperity of talents, and the root of the prosperity of talents lies in the continuous teaching and education for hundreds of years. I deeply believe this..."

Tang Song combined the memorial, "No matter the rise and fall of wars for hundreds of years, these families have never stopped their education on their children. Over time, this foundation is indeed profound. Whether the ministers are alarmist, they are studying in the government. The scholars trained by various official schools run by the court are afraid that they are worse than those of these gentry families..."

Wu Zetian walked slowly without saying anything.

Tang Songxu said again: "With this foundation, the gentry family will have the foundation for establishing one's own strength. Even if the court implements a new and more stringent scientific examination regulations, it is extremely difficult to limit them. In a short period of time, between one or two subjects, these gentry family members may have little alkaline, but the ministers can assert that after at most three subjects, these gentry family members will be able to quickly adapt to the new scientific examination regulations. When the introduction of the gentry regulations, there will be a continuous stream of gentry children entering the court based on this..."

"Why?" Tang Song asked himself, "The root of it is still in the content of the scientific examination. The examination of the scholars in our dynasty is the elders who have accumulated over hundreds of years of scholars. The essence of these children and clans is even more than that of official studies than most scholars in the world. How can they not stand out in the scientific examination?"

Although it is all education, it seems that the content of learning is the same, but the gap between mass education and elite education is really very obvious. This is like the British and American countries in later generations, where there are countless schools in a country, but if you look at the educational backgrounds of the top politicians, you will find that a large proportion of them are actually from the same schools.

Compared with ten thousand or even 100,000 schools, three or five schools are just a small number or proportion, but these three or five schools have cultivated more top politicians than the other ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and nine hundred and nine hundred and ninety-five schools. This is the foundation and the great power of elite education.

Tang Song once said this to Wu Zetian, so he did not say more. He changed his words: "So, to limit the gentry family, it is far from enough to change the scientific examination system. If you want to do it once and for all, you can only get rid of the firewood..."

"Is this what I said about changing the content of Apple's scientific research?"

"Yes," Tang Song replied with a sigh, "The accumulation of the aristocratic families for hundreds of years lies in the Five Confucian classics, and in the verses and poems. This is the strength of their heritage. If the court wants to restrict it, it can only avoid its strengths and promote its shortcomings in the scientific examination. In this way, the firewood will be removed from what the ministers said..."

What you are good at, I just don’t take any tests, or weaken them, and destroy the internal strength you have accumulated over hundreds of years. This is the guiding ideology and end point of Tang Song’s formulation of the charter.

"Since Emperor Wu of Xiban dismissed all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, Confucian classics have become the standard for each dynasty to obtain talents and scholars. During the first dynasty, there were descendants of Confucius. The Imperial Priest, Kong Yingda, wrote the father's Five Classics Justice and Defaults to promulgate the world. Li Shimin personally issued an edict, defining this "Five Classics Justice" as a compulsory book for scholars, and the court's foundation for talent acquisition. For decades, the world has taken this as a common example. This is easy to say but difficult to do..."

Tang Song also stood up from Hu Tang, "Did the ministers say that they should all abolish the Five Classics and poems in the scientific examination?"

The Tang Dynasty has been open for three hundred years, and the three furniture of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have entered their heyday. The two schools of Buddhism and Taoism do not talk about it. Confucianism still occupies an absolute dominant position in secular and political life.

Tang Song is very particular about this, and he is even more impossible for Chu to completely abolish Confucian content in the scientific research of this era.

Even if there is this possibility, this is definitely not what Tang Song wants, he is not a lunatic.

To put it bluntly, his idea is actually very simple. Of course, Confucianism and Ci Fu must be tested, but his status in the scientific examination should not be as arrogant as he is now.

The new test content he wanted to promote was to abandon the specialization for the college entrance examination in later generations, and the subjects were no longer divided into various subjects, but to mix the examination contents of the subjects into one place.

When he was in charge of the Tang Dynasty, if a scholar in the Tang Dynasty wanted to pass the imperial examination, he not only needed to take the Father's Five Classics Justice and the Book of Ci, but also needed to examine the contents of the various subjects of the law, calculation and book.

When the justice scores and verses of the Father's Five Classics are no longer the only criteria for talent acquisition, although this change in scientific research cannot completely limit the gentry family, it can greatly eliminate the advantages they have accumulated over hundreds of years and pull them back to the same starting line as the scholars in the world.

By that time, the boundary between mass education and elite education will be broken to the greatest extent possible, and the children of the aristocratic family without secret weapons will be overwhelmed by the poor family with a huge base.

In addition to changing the content of the Pin Science Examination, abolishing the Jinshi, and changing the various subjects of the Ming Dynasty to comprehensively selecting scholars. Tang Song's charter also has two matching contents.

First, there is a restriction on the family's attacks. In ancient times, high-ranking officials could directly enter the officialdom based on their own status. The higher their status, the higher their children were appointed to the officialdom. Nowadays, although there are not many children of the aristocratic family holding real power in the court, many of them have higher ranks. If this article can be blocked, it is a good thing.

Tang Song thought about this for a long time and knew that it was impossible to cancel the Jean Yin system if he wanted to finish his life. This was almost a confrontation with the entire bureaucratic class. So according to his idea, he would raise the Jean Yin's rank. For example, officials above the fifth rank had this privilege in the past, but now can the standard for exercising privileges be raised to the third rank?

In addition, children of officials above the third rank also need to take the exam when they are appointed as officials. Only those who pass the exam can get the official position. At the same time, the first rank of officials who are admitted to the official position can be reduced. Those who are originally taught from the eighth rank can be reduced to the lowest level of the internal rank of the Tang Dynasty - one rank of the ninth rank.

As for the examination and promotion of those who rely on family education, there are also corresponding regulations to match. In short, it is to limit their family background as much as possible. The "" is updated as soon as possible to avoid their promotion too quickly, providing a fair growth environment for poor children who rely on scientific examinations to enter the officialdom.

The second is the transformation of Imperial College. According to the Tang system, Imperial College has its own set of evaluation standards. Anyone who passes the evaluation can be awarded an official without being given a scientific examination. Tang Song's charter wanted to change this situation and include the Imperial College scholars' official admission into the scientific examination system of the Ministry of Rites. (Look at "" yz

After that, Tang Song also suggested in his charter that the number of Jinshi and Mingjing Scientific Students in the Imperial College, and the number and status of Mingfa and Mingsuan subjects that have never been valued. According to his idea, it is best to have a ratio of 30 to 70% between "Dao" subjects and Mingfa and Mingsuan subjects.

That is, among every ten scholars in the Imperial College, three of them learn the Jinshi Mingjing, seven of them learn the Ming Dharma and Mingjuan, etc...."Skills" subjects.

From changing the content of the scientific research exam to the family system, to changing the Imperial College. Although the charter in this chapter of Tang Song started from the original intention of restricting the aristocratic family, its significance has far surpassed the restricting the aristocratic family itself.

Many of the concepts introduced in this charter are directly derived from the college entrance examination and even university system in later generations. If it can be implemented, while suppressing the gentry and providing more and more fair opportunities for the poor families in the world, it will also fundamentally change the scholastic people of the Tang Dynasty and change the views of the world on vain books, and then provide more and more practical talents for the future Tang Dynasty and the brilliant prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The vast majority of talents in the world are enclosed in the justice and fu of the Father’s Five Classics, which is itself the greatest harm to talents, and talents are the foundation for the prosperity of a dynasty and a country.

This is the ambition that Tang Song began to develop when he was helping with the exam last time, and finally formed this chapter several months later.

Over the past few months, Tang Song has almost all his mind and thoughts into this chapter, even when he is in a small dark room in the cold palace of the Yeting Palace.

It can be said that this book, which contains hundreds of secret rules, embodies Tang Song's countless efforts, which is the result of his hard work, and also contains his ambition to do great things.

From the bottom of his heart, no man does not want to do big things, and Tang Song is no exception.

During these countless nights, Tang Song was very excited when he thought of these regulations and what changes would bring to the world if they could be implemented. He often had nights and couldn't sleep.

But now it seems...

"Even if I ordered someone to copy your seal and copy the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, they had hidden many of the constitutions without mentioning them, the results of the discussions were still unsatisfactory. The various statutes in this constitution shocked the court and the world too much, and there was no precedent to follow. All ministers must be careful. I cannot be careful..."

Although he had already prepared mentally, Tang Song's heart suddenly disappeared after hearing Wu Zetian's words, and endless disappointment surged upwards like the Qiantang River.

After a long silence, Tang Song finally spoke: "Can this chapter be held at the Grand Court?"

Zhou Chengtang system. If there are no special events, there will be two major meetings at the 15th day of each month. At that time, all officials above the sixth rank in Beijing will attend court, and all major policies and measures will be placed at the court meeting. After the court discussion, the world will be promulgated.

Tang Song’s constitution is a very important matter, and this procedure is bound to be implemented. Although it may not be passed in court meetings, if you can’t even attend the Grand Court meeting, it means there is no hope.

Wu Zetian, who was walking slowly, turned around and a low voice came, saying: "The ministers of the Political Affairs Hall thought that many of the constitutions in this chapter were shocking. "" is updated the fastest and the "" may be disturbed if they go to the court meeting at the fastest time. "

Another bucket of cold water poured on his head, causing Tang Song to fall into a long silence.

Wu Zetian turned around while walking, looking at Tang Song who was silent on Hu Tang, with a hint of head and a slightest bit of care flashing in his eyes.

After a long time, Tang Song raised his head and asked with the last glimmer of hope: "I have many charters in this memorial, and no competition can be implemented?"

"The scientific examination regulations you have planned have just been implemented. All the ministers think that the imperial examinations should not change again, and stability should be the first. I think that the current subjects can remain unchanged first, but there can be another general subject in addition to the subjects. The content of this general subject examination is as stated in your constitution. It is possible to take the content of the Jinshi Mingjing Mingfa Mingfa Mingju and Mingju and even Mingshu into it..."

Without changing its roots, another subject is added, that is, to try to make a new change under the premise of stability. Wu Zetian's move is the most consistent and compromise decision.

No matter what Wu Zetian's intentions are, for Tang Song at this moment, it would be better if there was a change, even if the change was only a very small step.

But even a small step is an improvement

Upon hearing this, Tang Song's spirit was a little excited, "Is there any more?"

"I have been deeply thinking about the officials in the family. As for the final result, it is still difficult to assert. There are three thousand students in the Imperial College, and one hair can move the whole body. All the ministers say that they should not be moved lightly. I deeply agree..."

At this point, all the news about his constitution was finished. Tang Song sighed deeply, but there was no intense reaction that Wu Zetian expected.

When Wu Zetian said this, Tang Song didn't explain much, but said in a faint voice: "Just yesterday Cui Yuanzong got into the court..."

Nowadays, for Wu Zetian, who had just ascended the throne for three years, the first thing she had to do was to consolidate the throne, and to achieve this goal... a stable government and opposition is essential.

The dispute between Li Wu was too fierce, causing frequent turmoil in the court, which was obviously contrary to Wu Zetian's interests. In this case, Wu Zetian made a quick decision to introduce the centrists as a buffer for Li Wu's party struggles, which is also the fundamental reason why Cui Yuanzong was able to become a prime minister.

The turmoil in the court made Wu Zetian willing to take compromise strategies to lead Cui Yuanzong into the Political Affairs Hall. At this time, how could she vigorously implement the reform charter that would cause storms among the world's scholars?

The court environment when Wu Ze Angel formulated the charter was different from the current court environment when the charter was formulated. Times changed, and people in the current situation would naturally change. Of course, Wu Zetian would be no exception.

As early as when Wang Qingzhi happened a few days ago, Tang Song had already had a premonition that the hardship was coming. After hearing the news that Cui Yuanzong had become a prime minister yesterday, he was more and more mentally prepared for the result of meeting the saint today.

The reason why I was so disappointed before was because of a premonition. Although disappointment at this time was disappointment, it was because I had been mentally prepared and did not react too violently.

Wu Zetian was so smart. As soon as Tang Song said this seemingly unrelated answer, she understood everything. When she looked at Tang Song, she felt a little more appreciation in her silent eyes.

This boy is not only brave, knowledgeable and talented, but also can understand the current situation. It is very good, very good

Although he was inevitably disappointed, Tang Song, who was strong in nature, was not the kind of person who was completely depressed when he encountered setbacks. On the contrary, it was this strong nature that made him stronger and stronger when he encountered setbacks.

At this moment, since the only sure gain in the charter is to add the General Studies Department in the scientific examination, then Tang Song wanted to firmly protect this small progress, "I volunteered to go to the Ministry of Rites to specialize in the examination and obtain talents in the scientific examination. Please ask Your Majesty to obey..."

Just as Wu Zetian was about to answer, Shangguan Wan'er walked in from outside and said that several of the ministers from the Political Affairs Hall were working together outside.

When encountering such a thing, Tang Song avoided it, so he followed Shangguan Wan'er to wait in the small hall.

As soon as he sat down in the small hall, he saw Lu Yuanfang, the Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, walking in. Tang Song saw this and stood up to greet him, "Why did Prime Minister Lu come here?"

"What they said has nothing to do with me, just like me, I have to ask you some things..."

After the two sat down, Lu Yuanfang did not say much, and said directly: "A few days ago, during the Imperial Affairs Hall, I recommended you to the Ministry of Rites to be in charge of the affairs of the scientific examination. However, after all, you led the tribute students in the village to make trouble for the tribute school the previous time, and I failed to pass the recommendation..."

Lu Yuanfang said this, and after the Water Palace that day, it blocked Tang Song's hope of becoming an official for the second time.

As soon as the gentleman Lu Fang finished speaking, Tang Song suddenly sank in his heart and made a comeback, "But Cui Yuanzong objected?"

Lu Yuanfang never answered him a heavy sentence…”This is a state affairs…”

Upon hearing this, Tang Song just smiled.

Junzi Lu looked at him and did not talk about this matter. He continued: "You helped the scientific examination last time and achieved great results. I am here to ask. In your opinion, who is the most suitable person in charge of the scientific examination today?"

"Chen Boyu," Tang Song blurted out without thinking. Since the scientific examination will not change, and with his previous charter foundation, the fastest update of "" is a person with reliable character.

Chen Boyu is upright and has the ambition to save the world. He is one of the most powerful figures in the poetry world today. No matter from that aspect, he is the most suitable candidate.

"Caring Nan Chen Zi'ang" Lu Yuanfang smiled rarely and nodded slightly. Obviously, the candidate named Tang Song was just in line with what he wanted.

Since he had asked what to ask, the gentleman Lu did not want to stay any longer. As he stood up, Tang Song also stood up, "Prince Lu, I still have something to do to help all the rest of the country..."

"Tell me," Lu Yuanfang finished speaking, and added, "But if you are doing something to harm public affairs for personal gain, there is no need to say..."
To be continued...
