What made Wang Li most strange was that when Wang Jinghui was teaching the children who took the imperial examination, he did not involve a lot of poetry knowledge that he was best at and the most common classics in his current situation. When Wang Li asked his questions in his heart, "Why don't you teach these children the meaning of scriptures? This is the main course for the imperial examination!"

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "Brother Yuanze, you may not know yet. These children were originally orphans without fathers and mothers. I thought they were pitiful, so they were taken in. How many scholars in the world can become famous in the examination room? Can studying be supported by a person besides taking the imperial examination?"

Wang Li was originally a person with a clear mind. Wang Jinghui knew the reason as soon as he asked indirectly. He smiled and said, "There are no more scholars in the world, but there are very few people who can jump into the dragon gate every three years!"

Wang Jinghui said: "I adopt them and teach these orphans to study. If there are really talented people among them, they will naturally let them learn in depth, but few are excellent people. In order to ensure that they can live a stable life in the future and support themselves, I will teach them some miscellaneous studies so that they can live independently as soon as possible!"

Wang Li put the folding fan in his hand and patted it lightly and said, "This is a true and kind act! It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish!"

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "Brother Yuanze has been awarded! In fact, these orphans with excellent qualifications who continue to study in depth have considered it. The reason why they do not teach regular exams such as scriptures and meanings is because these things harm our scholars very much!"

Wang Jinghui knew that in history, Wang Anshi had great opinions on the Song Dynasty's imperial examination system, so he began to make strong reforms at the beginning of the reform. He was a later generation, and naturally hated the imperial examination system. But everything had a process. The imperial examination system was no matter how bad it was, it would be impossible to overturn it with his current energy. Now is not the time to eliminate the imperial examination system. Instead of doing useless work, it is better to make improvements on this basis.

The imperial examination test is the meaning of the classics and posts. It is all about who can memorize them and who is sure to win the exam. It is far inferior to the imperial examination system when the Song Dynasty was established. Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong used strategy theory to select talents. I think Wang Anshi's divine insights definitely saw the disadvantages of this. In history, he changed the meaning of the classics and posts to make strategy theory. Although he was also waving the flag and shouting for reform to select talents he liked, it was much better than choosing a bunch of nerds, so Wang Jinghui wanted to use this reason to gain the initial favor of the Wang father and son.

Wang Li said in surprise: "This dynasty's imperial examination system uses to select talents. How can this dynasty's meaning harm scholars?!"

Wang Jinghui knew that Wang Li was pretending to test himself, so he smiled and said, "The study of poetry, essays and scriptures has no use in the country and the family. It is nothing more than cultivating sentiments. It is better not to learn! I thought that when Taizu Taizong, he used strategy to win scholars. Even though these talents did not have any works of poetry and essays, they laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty today."

Wang Li smiled and said, "I am a very knowledgeable person. However, I have stopped taking the exam of poetry, essays and calligraphy during the Qingli period of this dynasty. Over time, this habit is difficult to change!"

Wang Jinghui said: "It's up to people! But today's students have put a lot of energy on these items to jump into the dragon gate. If it changes suddenly, they may be opposed by Lai Shilin. I'd better slow down."

Wang Li said: "Are you going to have a plan?"

"The examination items such as poetry, fu, classics and calligraphy have been used for decades, and they must not be changed suddenly. First, we will add the policy theory to the imperial examination. The major test every three years, so we only need two tests to gradually replace the poetry, fu, classics and calligraphy, so that the rebound will be much smaller. I think that there are more knowledgeable people in the Song Dynasty. They will definitely realize that the imperial examination items are unreasonable, but they have been taking the project for decades after the sudden examination. I think few people are willing to take such risks. Therefore, using this gradual method will win the understanding of these people, and the resistance will be much smaller at that time!" Wang Jinghui said slowly.

After hearing this, Wang Li said with a frown: "It's been too long, and it's hard to control what happens in the middle!"

Wang Jinghui thought to himself: "It is because you father and son are eager to achieve success that they will ruin good things!" After thinking in his heart, he still said warmly: "This is also impossible. Just imagine that scholars in the world have been studying hard for more than ten years. Although they can't even write down policies, they are not their main strengths in the end, and they still need to give them some time to prepare. If they are eager to achieve success and change their exams suddenly, they will definitely be jealous of scholars in the world, and it will be easy to make many changes from it at that time!"

Wang Li seemed to be born as a master of fan play. He played with a folding fan in his hands, as if he was as quick and neat as his thinking. With a "bang", Wang Jinghui knew through several days of getting along with Wang Li that this was a sign of some of his thoughts.

Wang Li said: "It seems that the change has his own ideas about the imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty?"

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "Brother Yuanze, I am ashamed. I didn't think of this problem at all. I just said that the two of us talked about this after you asked. However, when I talked about it, I think the content of the imperial examination should change. In recent decades, there are many great poets like Yan Shu, but those who can be called capable officials are nothing more than a hundred miles away! For the development of the Song Dynasty, I want to advise the emperor to slowly start the reform of the imperial examination system. I wonder if Brother Yuanze has any advice on this?"

Wang Li said: "When I was in Biandu some time ago, I talked to my father about the content of the imperial examination. It was somewhat consistent with the idea of ​​revising it: the meaning of poetry, essays and poems are of no use to the country, it is nothing more than a few more poets who complain without any illness! However, it is imperative to reform the imperial examination system, and the speed cannot be too slow. Moreover, after the poetry, essays and poems, which books should be used as the benchmark for the examination? This is another question!"

"Compared to the perilous risk of offending the entire Shilin to implement the reform of the imperial examination system, it will inevitably be unprecedentedly opposed, which may repeat the mistakes during the Qingli period. Therefore, it is more effective to slowly draw relatives. It is also easier to obtain Shilin and people with knowledge in the court! As for which books to choose as a method to recruit scholars, this is a relatively easy thing. "The Analects of Confucius" must be the first place - Zhao Pu, the current dynasty once said: Half of the Analects of Confucius dominate the world! "Mencius", "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Songs" and other scriptures can also be included."

Among the books listed by Wang Jinghui, "Mencius" is specifically for Wang Li. All scholars in the world know that Wang Anshi's "Mencius" is ruling. I guess no one in this era is more qualified to speak than Wang Anshi. As for whether the reform of the imperial examination system is radical or slow progress, I believe that I will show my attitude. Even he will not have any solutions. At this time, Wang Anshi's status in the emperor's heart is far inferior to himself. He is now just a Hanlin bachelor, and he is not a political affairs under the command of the Shenzong Zhao Xu in history!

After hearing this, Wang Li knew that the "Mencius" listed by Wang Jinghui seemed to be showing kindness to their father and son, but he also felt that Wang Jinghui's attitude towards this matter was a firm attitude, which basically reflected his "cold and summer school" style of conduct - safe. Wang Li also agreed with this idea very much. After all, it can reduce risks and reduce risks. However, the imperial examination only once every three years. Even if it is as smooth as Wang Jinghui said, it will take six or even nine years to achieve results. This time span is too long. The Wang father and son hope to cultivate a group of talents that can be used in the future at the fastest speed. Although Wang Anshi took advantage of the opportunity to recruit several young people with the same ambitions in Jinling as students, these people are far from enough, so he became a little anxious.

When Wang Jinghui saw Wang Li's brows, he knew that he was not satisfied with his gradual approach and said, "Brother Yuanze, the so-called hasteness is not achieved. We are much younger than the rich and Koreans. If we cannot control ourselves in time, we may not only be wasted our efforts, but also our reputation will be damaged! What's more, we are still young. As long as we can push the wheels forward, we will eventually reach the finish line!"

After hearing this, Wang Li was silent for a while. Although he couldn't listen to Wang Jinghui's "gradual" strategy, he also understood that Wang Jinghui could only lead the issue. Although his father could also write a letter to speak, everyone in the court knew that the prince consort was rarely rejected when he took action. He had to admit that the chance of success of the prince consort doing this was much higher than that of his father.

"It's better than not! Once Ah Father takes power, there will be no such troubles. Now he still needs this "cold and summer school" son-in-law to do things!" Wang Li thought helplessly. At this time, he realized the importance of the son-in-law and felt that when he was with Wang Jinghui in the past few days, he was really not respectful to the son-in-law. Thinking of the time when he came to Chuzhou, Wang Anshi had instructed him to be humble to Wang Jinghui. Although his age was similar to his own position, he was similar to Wang Anshi in both official positions and status. So Wang Li now regretted his words and deeds these days. Fortunately, the son-in-law was very easy-going, never put on airs, and respected him very much, which made Wang Li feel much more at ease.

Wang Li bowed to Wang Jinghui and said, "Brother Chang's plan is very good, and it is a blessing for the country!"

When he was with Wang Li these days, Wang Jingzhi was also a little annoyed. After all, this kid is famous in history and is arrogant. He didn't expect that he would be so rude. He and Wang Anshi could be on par. It would be no exaggeration to call himself a "student" according to etiquette. However, Wang Li's behavior of showing kindness to him just now shocked him, and he thought the sun was rising from the west!

Wang Jinghui said: "Brother Yuanze has been awarded. I can only think of this matter under the reminder of Brother Yuanze. If there is anything wrong, I still need to ask for advice! However, it is an extraordinary small matter to be involved in the imperial examination and the country's talent acquisition. I will write to the emperor as soon as possible to make a decision. However, this matter still requires strong help from Mr. Jiefu to accomplish this matter! I want Mr. Jiefu to bear the reputation of the world for 30 years and has no reputation among the scholars, so I also asked Brother Yuanze to write a letter to express his views on Mr. Jiefu in the court!"

Wang Li said: "Please rest assured by Brother Gaizhi. Yuanze believes that my father will not stand by! I would also like to write a memorial first, so I can write a book for my father to get him!"

Wang Jinghui thought to himself: "Although I don't know how you, a little fox, view the imperial examination in your heart, your father hates poetry, essays and calligraphy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have followed your topic to propose the imperial examination system!"

Wang Anshi believes that the internal and external troubles of the Song Dynasty have reached a time when it is impossible to use thunder means to solve the problem. So he adopted a storm-like reform policy to sweep the Song Dynasty. It has been several years since Wang Jinghui came to this era. Comrade Lao Wang agreed with the view of the Song Dynasty, but he never agreed to use such fierce means to change the status quo. That would only muddle the stagnant waters of the Song Dynasty, allowing political speculators like Lu Huiqing and Cai Jing to take advantage of loopholes. He wanted to use his thousand-year-old experience to open up the source of this stagnant waters, and pay attention to

Inject fresh blood to gradually replace the goal of the prosperous Song Dynasty. Therefore, everything that he has the ability to dominate must suppress Wang Anshi's anxious mentality. Although this time it was mentioned by chance in the imperial examination, Wang Jinghui needed this initiative, so he took a tough attitude in front of Wang Li. Wang Li was arrogant, but as soon as Wang Jinghui became tough, he would still reveal his true colors - the qualifications and status of both sides were not at the same level at all, which invisibly sounded the alarm for Wang Li, making him put away his contempt.

The Song people paid great attention to "precedents" when governing the country. As long as they can find appropriate "precedents" in history to invoke them, they can give it a try even if they encounter opposition voices. The imperial examination system involves how the empire will take talents in the future. The interests of all parties are very involved. Wang Jinghui and Wang Li seemed to be relaxed when talking about this issue, but neither of them thought it was as easy as eating and drinking water. Maybe it was notorious - Shilin's mouth and the pen in the hands of the censor were waiting!

Wang Anshi has not blatantly expressed his dissatisfaction with the current imperial examination system. Wang Li is his son, so he naturally knows his father's view on this. Although he just told Wang Jinghui that he should use radical means to solve the reform of the imperial examination system, he also realized that the reform of the imperial examination system is not that simple. The risks contained in it are not something that a Hanlin scholar can bear, and even the prime minister of the dynasty dare not take action rashly. Wang Jinghui himself is willing to write a memorial and write a letter to the emperor to reform it. Wang Li is naturally happy to see from the side the result. What he has done is just waving the flag and shouting, which is extremely beneficial to the Wang father and son.

After saying goodbye to Wang Li, Wang Li returned to the study to write a memorial. He knew very clearly that the reform of the imperial examination system was a minefield. He kept plucking the pitiful things in his stomach. Eunuch Zhao saw him filling the wastebasket on the desk for a while. He knew why he was in a dilemma when writing a memorial. He quietly poured the wastebasket outside to prepare for burning. However, he still couldn't help but pick out a few wastebaskets from it and opened it and understood the embarrassment of the prince-consort.

Eunuch Zhao had served Emperor Renzong for decades and stayed with the emperor for a long time. Naturally, he was well aware of political affairs. His level of sophistication was not allowed to be seen by Han Qi. In view of the fact that the Shu princess and his wife usually took care of him, Eunuch Zhao decided to remind this stupid boy so that he would not be embarrassed there.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to pour tea and change water for Wang Jinghui, Eunuch Zhao chatted with him for a while, and Wang Jinghui had long been accustomed to this: Eunuch Zhao spent more time in this study than him. If two people don’t speak, they would be very embarrassed. Moreover, Eunuch Zhao is old and read a lot. Although some things are inconvenient to say, he is very clear about the various rules and rules of the court. It is just a political dictionary, so Wang Jinghui is also very willing to take the initiative to chat with Eunuch Zhao over time.

After all, he has been with the emperor for decades, but he is knowledgeable. Wang Jinghui and Eunuch Zhao seem to be chatting, but Eunuch Zhao is still very inspiring to him. Wang Jinghui has been involved in politics for less than two years and is not very clear about the customs and rules of the court. He took the examination for the examination and the special subjects, and the content of the examination is very different from the Jinshi exam. However, if the instructions in this examination are not explained in detail by Eunuch Zhao, his memorial will be laughed out loud if he handed it over. However, Eunuch Zhao also vaguely proposed that Wang Jinghui's memorial is a thankless thing, and it is best not to waste his efforts in this regard.

Wang Jinghui had to take action on the imperial examination system. Wang Anshi was temporarily suppressed by him and did nothing. It would take some time to let him get the jar, but the cultivation of talents was unstoppable. The empire not only needed upright scholars who dared to speak out and could advise, but also needed people with real ability to govern the country to lead the country. It was hard for him to imagine what a Yan Shu-style figure could do to improve the living standards of the people.
