The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Because he had said before that the Ministry of Personnel did not have enough manpower and time to carry out the restructuring, and now, His Majesty chose the Ministry of Rites.

If he took the initiative to stand up and **** it, he would be in the ring with His Majesty.

Fortunately, at this time, Hu Suiliang gritted his teeth and strode forward.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites is also very troublesome."

"This is naturally very clear to me." Li Shimin raised his mouth slightly, stroked his long beard, and said slowly.

"Xu Qing, tell me, what is the important task of the Ministry of Rites?"

"..." Facing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who suddenly sold Guan Zi, Hu Suiliang's heart jumped, but he could only bite the bullet and continue.

"Your Majesty, under the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites has four divisions: the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Temples, the Ministry of Food, and the Ministry of Hosts and Guests.

After Li Shimin smiled and nodded slightly, he asked again.

"Xu Qing really has a good memory, then I would like to ask Qing Qing, which is more important than the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials?"

"..." Hu Suiliang opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the important officials of the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Personnel is more important, so you are the head of the Six Divisions."

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth raised meaningfully.

"It is precisely because the Ministry of Rites handles the lightest tasks that I feel that the Ministry of Rites is the most suitable."

The Dou Lu Kuan couldn't wait to interject, with a sincere expression on his face.

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace, and thank you for your trust. I dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know my Ministry of Rites, which department should preside over the imperial examinations and select scholars?"

Li Shimin stroked his long beard and said slowly.

"So, since the method of selecting scholars in the imperial examinations needs to be improved, we must let the world know that the imperial court attaches great importance to the selection of scholars in the imperial examinations."

"Furthermore, I think that the proficiency tester is a humble person and is easily offended by others, and he can't refuse a request."

"Therefore, I have decided that the second official of the Ministry of Rites, and the servant of the Ministry of Rites, will preside over the trial of the Spring Festival."

After saying that, Li Shimin didn't ask the Qing family for their opinions, but pursed his lips tightly and looked around, with that determined and determined expression, so that all the ministers could only bow their heads silently.

When he left the Wencheng Palace, it was really a storm in his heart that was hard to calm down.

His Majesty's method is really surprising. At first, I thought that it could delay the improvement of the imperial examination system.

But as a result, not only could it not be delayed, but even the important tasks of the imperial examination that were originally presided over by the Ministry of Personnel were entrusted by His Majesty to the Ministry of Rites.

For the Ministry of Rites, which had few affairs at first, it was definitely a pleasant surprise.

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Personnel is the most important, followed by the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War, and the second is the Ministry of Punishment and Work. As for the Ministry of Rites, it is the one that lags behind.

But now, after taking the important task of presiding over the imperial examinations, it is inevitable that the status of the Ministry of Rites will be improved.

The affairs have been settled, and it is naturally inconvenient for a minister to stay for a long time.

And that His Majesty's brother-in-law, the first hero of Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Guogong, and Sun Wuji, the eldest official of the Ministry of Personnel, are walking slowly.

There was almost no joy or anger on his face, but everyone understood that the Ministry of Personnel even lost the burden of the imperial examination.

The Ministry of Personnel, which is in charge of the appointment and removal of officials in the world, examinations, promotions, awards, and transfers, is still the first of the six departments.

But for losing the job of presiding over the imperial examination, it means that His Majesty is dissatisfied with his shirk.

Even if His Majesty did not reveal it on the surface, how could these old officials not know?

Hu Suiliang, who had a very close relationship with Zhangsun Wuji, also silently followed Zhangsun Wuji's side, hesitating to speak several times.

But seeing Changsun Wuji's expression of keeping strangers away, he finally swallowed what he wanted to say.

"Look at you, Lao Cheng, I created an opportunity for you. Who would have known that you didn't know how to seize the opportunity, brother Xian, and it turned out to be cheaper for those guys from the Ministry of Rites."

General Cheng patted Li Ji next to him, and said with a virtuous brother, you really don't live up to your expectations.

Li Ji rolled his eyes with a black face.

"Old Cheng, don't talk nonsense. My brother, I am in charge of the Ministry of War. I am in charge of raising and lowering military officers and soldiers, and preparing military affairs. No matter what, I can't get in touch with the soldiers."

"His Majesty did this today, tsk tsk... I must be unhappy in someone's heart."

The military officials were laughing and laughing as they walked, but the gang of civil servants speeded up their pace and tried to stay away from these vulgar warriors.

Compared to those military officials, many of the civil officials were already worried.

The dubious name transcription system has weakened the chances of mediocre people in the aristocratic family getting into office.

And depriving the scrolls is equivalent to making it difficult for aristocratic families to handle and hold those poor students like in the past.

They only need to rely on their real skills to have a high chance of being admitted.

And that Dou Lukuan seemed so high-spirited at the moment, with a wide-eyed smile, and he whispered with the two servants of the Ministry of Rites beside him.

Hu Shilang from the Ministry of Rites was still full of disbelief at the moment, and he never thought that such a heavy trust would actually fall on his shoulders.

In the past, it was all the fair-haired young ladies in the Jiao Sifang. Now, they finally have the right to manage those bright-eyed talents.

The reform of the imperial examination system will not only benefit the underprivileged scholars in the world, but will also raise the status of the Ministry of Rites.

Therefore, this Hu Shilang and Dou Lu Shangshu decided to abandon their previous prejudices and unite closely.

In any case, you must put on a hideous-looking posture of protecting your food, and you must not let the fat in your mouth be taken away by other wild dogs.

#####

Arriving outside the palace gate, the eldest grandson Wuji stood still, saw the eyes cast by Hu Suiliang next to him, and waved at the other party to indicate that he was okay, and got into the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Changsun Wuji's face became more and more ugly, and the right to preside over the imperial examination was lost.

Not only is the loss of authority in hand, but more importantly, His Majesty is simply in front of civil and military officials.

Tell yourself that he is not happy with his attitude of putting the blame on and delaying things.

However, if he, who has gotten too close to the aristocratic family, accepted the reform of the imperial examination system neatly.

That would be equivalent to pushing oneself to the opposite side of the aristocratic family. For him, and for the Changsun clan, it was definitely bad news.

After all, he and the Crown Prince are already on the same page, if he does not join forces with the aristocratic family.

After a hundred years from His Majesty, how can there be a place for itself in the court.

But now, His Majesty has stripped away the authority of the Ministry of Personnel to preside over the imperial examinations, and it is related to the previous matter of His Majesty sending people to the Department of Examinations of the Ministry of Personnel to read the examination papers.

His Majesty's attitude was obviously that there was a gap with him. Right now, the eldest grandson Wuji had no idea how to remedy it.

And those ministers and workers who came from aristocratic families were still indignant and unwilling outside the palace gate.

"What should I do, if the imperial examination system is reformed 10%, how can there be a way of life for the children of my aristocratic family?"
