The Northern Frontier had achieved a complete victory, and The Emperor was hesitating over whether to hold a special imperial examination, so he summoned Pei Hengzhi to ask for his opinion.
"Your Majesty, the number of civil officials in the court is already saturated at present, and there are no extra positions available. Furthermore, many of jiangshi from the previous two sessions have yet to be assigned to posts. In Your minister's view, there is no great necessity to hold a special examination."
What he said was indeed the truth. The Emperor stroked his beard, yet could not think of a better idea.
