That night.
Kou Mansion.
Once Kou Zhun received the imperial edict and returned to the position of Zhongshu, power came with him.
The bustling scene returned to Kou Mansion again.
However, Kou Zhun did not come out of his confinement until the palace door was locked. None of these people who were busy making connections saw the real owner.
On this day, Kou Zhun saw only one person.
Sentenced to Wenguyuan affairs, starting this week!
"Kou Xiang, you are finally back."
Seeing the high-spirited Kou Zhun, Zhou Qi's eyes couldn't help but become a little moist.
"In recent years, Wan Qing (Zhou Qi), you have suffered a lot."
Kou Zhun patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder. Zhou Qi was once the deputy privy envoy, and the next step was the rank of general.
But now, Zhou Qi is only the director of Dengwen Guyuan. I don't know how much difference there is between the two. By analogy with later generations, it is probably the difference between deputy department level cadres and *** cadres.
All this happened to Zhou Qi just because he was on good terms with Kou Zhun.
Therefore, Kou Zhun felt that he was losing money for Zhou Qi.
And this was also the reason why he met Zhou Qi in the first place.
"I'm fine."
Zhou Qi smiled and shook his head. He just felt happy now.
not easy.
After many hardships, Kou Xiang finally returned to the court.
From now on, it seems that women like Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei can no longer stir up troubles due to their evil deeds.
Reunion after a long absence, of course, is indispensable with good wine.
Grape wine luminous cups, Kou Zhun and Zhou Qi drank wine from the Western Regions tonight.
With the successive defeats of Xiazhou Dangxiang, the relationship between the Western Regions and the Song Dynasty was restored, and the exchanges between them increased.
The fine wine from the Western Regions that was once rare to taste is now on the market again, but the price is slightly more expensive.
A ten-pound jar of wine costs thirty guan.
Three guans per catty is definitely a sky-high price for wine.
However, no matter how expensive the price is, it is nothing to a man like Kou Zhun who is addicted to alcohol and has a wealthy family.
While the wine was in full swing, the conversation between the two of them unconsciously turned to current affairs.
"Wan Qing, you are the evaluator of this year's imperial examination. What do you think of this imperial examination candidate?"
After hearing this, Zhou Qi pondered for a moment.
"Those who take the imperial examination today are undoubtedly lucky."
"Lucky?"
Kou Zhun raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Qi sighed slightly: "Although this subject emphasizes strategy and theory and pays little attention to poetry, according to His Majesty's holy scriptures, none of the candidates in this subject were dismissed."
After the tribute examination in the second year of Tiansheng's reign, both the ministers and the students preparing to take the examination vaguely understood one thing.
From now on, the content of the imperial examination will probably change.
The study of Ci and Fu is no longer the top priority.
Especially after Kou Zhun returned to the court, such remarks became even more popular.
What did Kou Zhun do while he was staying in Xijing?
Advocate pragmatic learning!
Kou Zhun's return to court was obviously highly recognized by the officials.
Otherwise, why would Kou Zhun pay homage to the prime minister again?
"That's true."
Kou Zhun nodded slightly, this scholar is indeed lucky.
Compared with the Jinshi in the second year of Tiansheng, the examination of the next subject is undoubtedly unfortunate.
After a conversation with the officials' parents, Kou Zhun understood the preferences of the officials better than others. Knowledge such as exegesis and poetry were obviously not what the officials liked. ….
"In the future, recruiting scholars will definitely be more practical. Wan Qing, if you have time, please help me with Shilin's reaction."
"Wan Qing understands."
Zhou Qi nodded solemnly, as if he had accepted an important task.
In fact, this task is indeed very important.
Sometimes, when people stand too high, they inevitably cannot hear the voices at the bottom, and all they can hear are congratulations.
The emperor is like this, and so is the prime minister.
But Zhou Qi was different. What Dengwen Drum Academy came into contact with was closer to the facts.
"Wan Qing, are you worried about something?"
After a while, Kou Zhun couldn't help but express concern when he saw a trace of sadness flash across Zhou Qi's eyebrows.
"Nothing, I just thought of something."
Zhou Qi said matter-of-factly: "Since the time when officials were at the imperial court, the rituals of court meetings have been neglected for a long time. I'm worried that as time goes by, problems will arise."
At the moment, although the court meeting is suspended, political affairs have not been delayed, but now is now and the future is the future.
Who knows if there will be problems in the future?
The court meeting was not only for deliberation, but also for the purpose of educating the people.
"Your Majesty has made a decision on this matter."
Kou Zhun and Li Jie not only talked about the three major events that were about to be implemented today, but also talked about many details, such as the court meeting.
After the emperor's wedding, the court meetings will return to normal.
certainly.
The officials seemed intent on changing the format of the court meeting.
The court meetings in the early Northern Song Dynasty can be roughly divided into three types: regular court meetings, regular daily meetings, and official daily meetings.
Changchao refers to officials who have been promoted to the court without paying attention to practical matters. They go to the Wende Hall every day to set up their duties. In a sense, Changchao is just a ceremonial court meeting.
Li Jie doesn't like this kind of thing very much.
But when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Some things are inevitable.
As for the regular court, Li Jie does not plan to abolish it directly, but to change the frequency, so that he will not go to court on one day and go to court on even days.
In this way, it is equivalent to giving those who are promoted to court officials who do not pay attention to practical work a holiday, the kind of one-stop work.
As for his daily routine, Li Jie has no intention of changing it.
Which departments are eligible to participate in daily activities?
Prime Minister, Privy Envoy, Third Division, Kaifeng Government Office, Yushitai, Senxing Yuan, Sengguan Yuan, Liu Neiquan, Punishment Department, Hanlin Bachelor, etc.
These departments all have one thing in common: they are all departments with practical missions.
Daily life, among the three types of court meetings, represents the practical nature and is the court meeting that actually handles affairs.
It's like the daily meeting of a large company.
Finally, Li Jie also intends to change the frequency of the official gatherings held every five days.
Five days is a little too often.
Once every ten days is a reasonable time point.
After all, the official daily life is more of a ceremonial court meeting. Although the five-day official meeting also has a discussion process, most of it is superficial.
[It has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old version of the book chasing tool and is used by all old bookworms.
It will be easier for you to continue reading after updating, and we look forward to continuing the exciting fun!
