Chapter 327: Monarchy Meets Power

When I was a student, most people had a dream of not having enough time for exams and then being woken up. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This dream is not terrible, the most terrible thing is that when I wake up, I realize that this is really not a dream, and then vomit blood on the spot.

Outside the Imperial Palace, the sky was already dark, and it was about to fall into the night, and at this time, most of the candidates were already writing the second article, and they were almost finished, but Lin Yanchao didn't move a word.

It's a terrible experience.

At this time, the deacon had already begun to divide the candles, and several candidates waved their hands confidently, as if they were about to finish transcribing and handing in their papers before it was dark.

Lin Yanchao glanced at it, then calmed down and began to read the second question. Prime Minister Pei Du should recruit talents and staff officers from all over the world, please meet in private.

After reading this question, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but admire, this question is really wonderful!

After the defeat, Lin Yanchao has seen all the policy problems, and when he participated in the test, "Zhuge Liang did not have the heart of Shen Shang and used his technique, and Wang Anshi used the truth of Shen Shang and denied his name" There is a similar effect.

If you change to an ordinary candidate, you don't even understand what this question means, but even if you understand it, it is more difficult to answer it well, and if you put it in people with ulterior motives, you have a feeling of fear when you think about it.

What does this question mean?

Who is Pei Du, Li Tang is famous, and I don't say much about the specific deeds.

This title is from the New Tang Dynasty book Pei Du Biography.

The background is that in order to elbow the prime minister's power, the prime minister was ordered to play national affairs, and Jin Wu was asked to play the Son of Heaven secretly, and he could not discuss matters in private. When Pei Du was the prime minister, there were many feudal towns near the center of the Tang Dynasty.

Pei Du thought that he wanted to eradicate the feudal town, so he asked the Son of Heaven to allow the prime minister to invite the world's heroes to ask for advice and discuss the government with the courtiers in private. The Son of Heaven allows. After that, Pei Du eradicated the feudal town and became a famous minister of the Li Tang generation.

This story was indeed a good story at the time. But now it's subtle.

What is the test of this question, which is to delegate the power of the monarch to the prime minister.

Isn't this question very painful?

Lin Yanchao speculated about most of the candidates in the hall, how would they answer? I'm afraid there will be a lot of people who praise Zhang Juzheng's stinky feet in this scene.

Zhang Juzheng once had a famous saying, I am not a phase, but a photograph.

This is why Zhang Juzheng dared to say this. If you change to any other Shoufu of the Ming Dynasty, if you dare to say that, you will be pulled out of the noon gate and play jj to death.

When the Ming Dynasty was politically harmonious, the Son of Heaven was in charge of 'approving red', the cabinet was in charge of 'voting and drafting', and the six Shangshu were in charge of 'handling powers', each performing its own duties.

In other words, this is the Chinese version of the Sanquan Division.

The right to approve the bonus is equal to the right to decide. The vote is intended to be equal to the right to deliberate, and the six books are executive power. This idea was born out of the three-province six-ministry system, but it was more progressive in terms of checks and balances of power.

Then Zhang Juzheng said, I am not a phase, but a photograph.

It is to replace the monarchy with the power of the minister, what do you mean by this?

However, Zhang Juzheng said this, and many readers also agreed very much. Our Ming Dynasty is the Son of Heaven and the scholars share the world, and we have always practiced the politics of hypocrisy.

Emperor, you just need to put a stamp. Just leave the affairs of the world to us readers. What do you not trust, we have read the four books and five classics in vain since we were children? You have to believe in our discipline.

At that time, Pei Du wanted the monarch to grant the power of the prime minister. It is to deal with the feudal town, and Zhang Juzheng wants the monarch to delegate the power in order to change the law.

That's right, the matter of changing the law in ancient and modern times must be monopolized. Zhang Juzheng passed this question in the palace examination, just to make his regent name more just. Let the scholar advocate for himself to create public opinion, which is also his consistent skill.

Therefore, the second question is the key point, and the scholar must praise Zhang Juzheng in the article in order to have a good ranking in the palace examination.

But Lin Yanchao can't write like that! This palace test article will be related to his own political stance in the future.

Lin Yanchao is not Zhang Juzheng's person. His own teacher is Shen Shixing.

Who is Shen Shixing, in addition to the cabinet boss, he has a more important identity, that is, the emperor. That's right, he taught Emperor Wanli, and the history books say that Emperor Wanli trusted him as a teacher very much, otherwise how could he be the first assistant for ten years.

Therefore, Shen Shixing is a 'royalist', so don't think about it, he will also be a royalist in the future.

Therefore, in the examination, in the questioning, he supported Zhang Juzheng to change the law, and formed his own pattern, so he did not have to rely on the ancient language system like Wang Anshi, and lose that skin, the first question of the palace test, Lin Yanchao can also whitewash Zhang Juzheng, although there is no inner saint, but it can also be an outer king, and the first saint is not the first road of the outer king.

But in your second question, you said that you want to replace the monarchy with the power of the minister, then it will not work!

There can be no ambiguity on the issue of position.

Lin Yanchao did not hesitate to write.

The king inherits the will of heaven to engage.

Heaven bestows Yao Shun with the world, and Yao Shun is ordered by the sky to reign the world.

Shun has five ministers and the world is governed, and the husband and the holy king have not waited for the virtuous ministers to have achieved their merits.

Throughout the article, the monarch is bestowed, and the virtuous monarch is assisted by virtuous ministers. Yao has four ministers, Shun has five ministers, and all of them are under great rule in the world (it is a necessary routine to name the ancients).

Just as the Son of Heaven wants to act according to the will of Heaven, then Zaisuke must also be commanded by the Son of Heaven to act. So to the effect, and then at length.

Lin Yanchao's words are not sharp, scolding the prime minister for stealing the monarch's power, that must be looking for a hanging, but the whole article advocates that the power is in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and the power comes from the monarch's authority, you can't say that I am at fault.

At this time, the light outside the Imperial Palace was dim.

The sun is already setting in the west, and after falling into the west mountain, the sunset rises on the horizon.

In the hall, Zhang Maoxiu, Xiao Liangyou, Gu Xiancheng, Liu Tinglan, Huang Kezhang and others had already finished writing the paper and handed it over to the receiving officer.

Although the palace test was not transcribed, it is still vague. As soon as the receiver gets the volume, he seals it first.

Some of the examinees in the hall were already holding the sealed articles of the candidates and couldn't wait to read them first.

As the candidates in the examination room left one by one, the remaining candidates also transcribed their essays at the end. In the palace examination, candidates were given two candles, but many scholars were useless.

After they finished writing the article and handed it to the examinee, they walked out of the hall with easy steps, and met acquaintances outside the temple gate, and there were one or two low laughter, and the laughter could hear the comfort of getting rid of the depression.

As for the other candidates, most of them were not in a hurry to transcribe, and the seats on the Imperial Palace were empty one by one.

The examinee handed in the papers from the hall and left, but Lin Yanchao didn't hear about it.

At this moment, writing articles that are in line with the authorities is already Lin Yanchao's second pursuit, and at this moment, he just wants to write good articles from the bottom of his heart, but he has diluted some words.

Lin Yanchao was engrossed in writing, and before he knew it, his eyes suddenly darkened, and it turned out that the first candle had dimmed sometime.

Lin Yanchao was not in a hurry, and took the second candle, at this moment, most of the seats in the Imperial Palace were empty, and only less than one-fifth of the candidates were still doing the questions.

The candlelight in the hall was dotted, how familiar this moment was, which reminded Lin Yanchao of the moment when he was in the Ermei Book House of Lianjiang Academy, when he read by candle at night.

At that time, most of my classmates left, and in the study room, only I and a few classmates held candles, still reading the Four Books and the Five Classics.

The ten years of cold window are for today's moment, which is also the end of my reading career.

Looking at the candlelight in the hall, Lin Yanchao was a little dazed, and then he remembered that now was not the time to think so much.

Lin Yanchao's second inscription was almost finished, so he lit a candle and continued to write. Because it took too much effort to think about the first question before, there is not enough time for Lin Yanchao now, and it seems that there is no way to revise the manuscript after the second question is written, so he can only directly transcribe it to the main volume.

As long as you have the whole structure of the article in your mind, you are not afraid of mistakes in the transcription.

Lin Yanchao's wrist hung on the scroll, moving the pen like flying, and word by word appeared under the pen. Since it is a positive volume, every word must be written neatly and beautifully, and Lin Yanchao still needs to complete the revision on the main volume, which is still not easy.

But Lin Yanchao's heart was extremely calm at the moment.

Whether it was the candidates who got up to hand in the papers one after another, or the several paper readers who were the elders of the pavilion who walked around the examination room, they could not interfere with his state of mind at this moment.

After years of studying and cultivating qi, Lin Yanchao has a kind of self-cultivation that can be calm in the face of major events.

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng walked from the outside to the Huangji Palace, and there was a warm pavilion next to the Huangji Palace.

Just now, he and the Son of Heaven in the warm pavilion invited the editor of the sermons of the past dynasties to record the matter. Now Zhang Juzheng's gaze swept over the Imperial Palace.

But seeing that the hall was empty, there were very few candidates, only seventeen or eighteen people were writing straight there.

At this moment, the candidates were sweating on their foreheads, revealing anxious looks. Zhang Juzheng knew that the more he got to the end, the more chaotic his heart became, and the worse the articles he wrote.

However, only one of the candidates caught his attention.

This person sat in the corner of the hall, but eighteen or nineteen years old, although he was still writing scrolls, but his vest was straight, and his hanging wrist pen exuded a calm and unhurried taste.

"Motosuke-sama!"

Shen Shixing saw Zhang Juzheng and saluted.

Zhang Juzheng retracted his gaze and said, "Is it quite tight to try the two questions in the hall today?" ”

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "It's okay, but even if the grace period is two days, there will be people who can't finish writing." ”

Zhang Juzheng muttered: "The scholar's life's work is to try it in the palace. If the candidate has not finished, there is no need to press, and it is better to tolerate four. ”

Shen Shixing said: "Yes." ”

So Shen Shixing turned his head and said Zhang Juzheng's words, and these seventeen or eighteen candidates were all relieved.

Lin Yanchao raised his head, but saw that under the palace lamp next to the palace, an official in his fifties was standing there, with beautiful hair and a long figure at the moment, if he didn't say his age, he was a beautiful man.

Seeing that the other party was staring at him, Lin Yanchao stopped writing and gave up his hand, and then lowered his head and continued to write.

The other party pinched his beard and smiled.

Lin Yanchao continued to write the volume calmly, and before the second candle dimmed, he finished writing all the two questions.

Looking at the test paper that was already completed, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but smile, picked up the paper at the moment, came to the examinee and said, "The student has finished writing." ”

After handing in the papers, Lin Yanchao walked out of the Imperial Palace, and couldn't help but feel comfortable.

Looking at the sparse moon stars outside the hall, he couldn't help but say, this moonlight in the Forbidden City is really good! (To be continued.) )
