541. Overcrowding
Soon, the news about what kind of officials Jingzhao Mansion wanted to implement and what kind of officials to implement and the law of the real yàn test spread to the nearby state capital. And those officials who did not belong to Jingzhao Mansion were speechless for a while, obviously it was such a close distance, but it was such a "two heavens of ice and fire". Maybe it's just one line, but on the other hand, maybe after half a year, a group of people can be promoted, and then officially enter the ranks of high-level officials. But on this side, he is still the little official who is looked down upon and has no future. Especially those who catch fast, the feeling is even more profound. They are untouchables, but they are close to a county border, but they have escaped their untouchable status and can have a bright future. Many people are unbalanced in their hearts, and they are complaining about why such a good method is not implemented across the country at once?
"Old Sun, why don't we quit this job and go to Jingzhao Mansion to eat? The food in Jingzhao Mansion is delicious and promising! I think that with our ability, we should be able to stand out in half a year, right? One of the officials said.
The old grandson thought about it for a while, and quickly agreed, because since they are all mixed rice, why not mix a promising rice bowl? So, they all resigned to the local officials and then they all left. However, there were many people who had the same idea, and they all resigned one after another, and as a result, the local yamen was temporarily unavailable. And except for those who belong to the untouchables, those who belong to the free body have all left, obviously they all want to find a golden rice bowl to eat, and do not come to eat with them.
When Jingwen returned home that day, he found that there were countless so-called poetry collections on the ground inside the door, as well as other things.
"Who threw me a book of poems from outside?" Jing Wen muttered.
"Husband, I'm afraid this is thrown in by those who want to become a small official, and I want you to look at this collection of poems, because this is a rule of the imperial examination." Xue Xue took the initiative to say.
After Xue Xue's explanation, Jingwen finally figured out what was going on. Jingwen did not participate in the imperial examination. So I don't know the rules of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty did not need to cover up the names of the candidates, and directly exposed them to the examiner, so it was easy to cheat. Moreover, in the early Tang Dynasty, there were no strict anti-cheating measures for the imperial examination, and the high-ranking officials of the imperial court had a great influence on the chief examiner of the imperial examination.
And because of the great influence of senior officials, it is inevitable that some candidates will send their so-called statecraft, or the understanding of poetry collections and history to senior officials. Then when the high-ranking officials see it, they may appreciate some people. Then he said relevant hints to the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and as a result, those candidates were selected one after another. As a result, this opened a bad habit, so that many candidates have submitted their so-called knowledge to the door of high-ranking officials, and they all hope to be promoted. Although there are relatively few such lucky people, there are still zài. So, now someone has come to deliver it to Jingwen.
"But isn't the imperial examination already over now? Why are there still people to deliver it? Jingwen asked.
And Xue Xue immediately said, "Husband, don't you know? Now Chang'an City has been flooded with many officials from the original nearby state capitals, and they are trying their best to infiltrate the official yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. Then I thought that I would be able to become an official in half a year! As long as they are half a year later, they may all be able to become officials, so why don't they do it? It's all mixed rice, of course, in a promising position! You don't know. Idle, the major yamen of the imperial court are already overcrowded, and many of them are in one position with two people. However, there are more and more officials who have poured into Chang'an, and even many candidates who usually fail in the imperial examination have also participated, and they feel that it is much more difficult to be admitted to the imperial examination than to become an official as an official. Therefore, many of the original scholars went to be the little officials they usually looked down on. ”
Jingwen was speechless, because of one of his own policies, which resulted in the local bloated institutions in Chang'an. But. The current phenomenon also shows that Jingwen's unity of officials and the examination method are very popular, especially the hearts of low-level officials. They all wanted to squeeze in one after another, and then become government officials in Jingzhao Mansion. But that's a good thing, it doesn't mean it's a bad thing! At least, those who can choose some more honest officials to enter the official government of Chang'an, and those who have not been able to stand the test in the past will probably be eliminated. Now that the future is even greater, we can't let those people who are messing around and have bad habits come in. If you let those guys in, wouldn't you be bored yourself? When the time comes, a group of corrupt officials will be absorbed, and it will be a lot of fun.
And now I'm afraid that it is very difficult for many people to enter the government as a small official. Definitely, there are a lot of guys who go through the back door. I'm afraid that many people have shown their own theories of scripture and history to high-ranking officials, and then hope that they can help them enter the imperial court. This is also to learn from those imperial examinations, hoping that I can show those historical theories to high-ranking officials, so that high-ranking officials can recommend themselves to become junior officials.
Jingwen picked up those scripture and historical theories on the ground, and then said, "It's a pity! Isn't it a waste of these things to get these things in front of me, a guy who doesn't know how to learn, and doesn't know how to do it? Where can I understand a subset of scriptures and history, it is better to give me an argumentative essay! ”
Those guys threw all the theories of scripture and history to Jingwen, which can be said to be a complete waste, and the pearl was secretly invested. Those guys did this, they were completely playing the piano to the cow, and Jingwen couldn't understand it at all. What's more, how could Jingwen help others cheat? Although, although Jingwen also cheated in exams back then, his position is different now. Jingwen's current position is an official, so naturally he has a certain hatred for cheating in exams, so naturally he will not help them cheat.
"Lord Jingwen, the emperor and the ministers want to see you!" A eunuch came to ask for an audience.
Jingwen heard the emperor's summons, so he naturally knew that now I am afraid that the major yamen in Chang'an City are very headaches, and now the number of officials in various departments has exceeded the standard at least double. Moreover, I'm afraid that this number is still increasing, and those bigwigs have a headache. Isn't this the legendary bloated institution? So, I'm afraid everyone is in a hurry.
