Chapter 615: It's time to start the imperial examination
Zhu Di finished reading Xie Jin's recital, and he knew it in his heart. It's no wonder that civil officials like to emphasize the unification of the Gang Chang Dao, and they think that they are more loyal to the Son of Heaven, and dare to love these guys with their own plans.
Heaven and earth are the princes and teachers, among the five Lun, heaven and earth are empty, and the monarch's father is also very far away, an ordinary official, I am afraid that he will not see the Son of Heaven a few times throughout the year, let alone talk and exchange.
For officials, the most important thing is the relationship between fellow villagers, the same subject, the same family, master and apprentice, and in-laws. And among these relationships, master and apprentice are the most real.
The master and apprentice in officialdom are different from ordinary masters and apprentices. It refers to the seat teacher of the imperial examination and the jinshi of that subject. Those who can become examiners almost all have some status, can provide shelter for rookies, and can even carry them until they climb to a high position.
There is a day when any official gets old and needs to go home, and then the disciples who are in the prime of life can feed back and help the master.
Generally speaking, there is no choice for officials to engage in teacher-student relationships. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang killed too hard, and they had to huddle together to keep warm.
Almost all civil servants in high positions have spared no effort to promote the junior and give young people opportunities.
Like Xie Jin, there are many places to analyze the style of writing.
And there are also people who simply collect articles, let people figure it out years in advance, try to learn the essence of it, and when it is time for the exam, take it out to please the examiner.
Xie Jin is clear about these things, he didn't say anything about beating him to death in the past, but now he doesn't care about anything, if you don't let Lao Tzu have a good time, Lao Tzu will tear his face with you.
It is said that this guy has low EQ, but he is really not wronged, he not only has low EQ, but even a bit of a middle two.
"The civil official is married to a master and apprentice, and it is indeed a poisoning tumor. Xie Jin hit the nail on the head, which can be regarded as meritorious. Zhu Di said to Liu Chun: "You have to arrange a brocade guard to protect Xie Jin, if he has three long and two short, I will never agree." ”
What else can Liu Chun say, "The minister will arrange it." ”
Zhu Di paused, and suddenly said, "Liu Chun, who do you say has the most protégés among this courtier?" ”
"This ......" Liu Chun's old face suddenly turned red, who has the most protégés? It seems that this person is far away in the sky, all in front of him!
"Your Majesty, all the literati who have passed the imperial examination are protégés of the Son of Heaven, so Your Majesty has the most protégés." Nice, very witty! However, Zhu Di didn't buy it at all.
"I ask you courtiers, who has the most disciples?"
"This ...... Maybe it's Guozijian, or maybe it's Hanlin Academy. ”
Continuing to push outside, Zhu Di's face gradually changed, obviously such a simple question, why did Liu Chun go around in circles, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, don't you know?
Zhu Di suddenly slapped the table, "I remembered, you, it's you!" You have more disciples than anyone else! As if he had discovered a new world, Zhu Di sneered at Liu Chun: "It turns out that the person Xie Jin said is you!" I almost forgot. ”
Liu Chun didn't like to listen to it, he hurriedly retorted: "Your Majesty, Xie Jin is talking about the master and the jinshi. The minister has never been the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and this account cannot be counted on the minister's head. ”
Zhu Di snorted, "It's not easy, I'll let you be the examiner now." ”
Liu Chun rolled his eyes, speechless. Zhu Laosi, do you know that you are deliberately killing people? In my life, even if I jumped from a window and died outside, I would not be an examiner.
Zhu Di also felt that he had gone too far, and got up and walked back and forth on the ground a few times.
He gradually became serious, and Xie Jin did point out the problem. But how to solve it is very important to think about it. It is not enough to severely punish the formation of parties for personal gain.
After all, once the status of master and apprentice is determined, it will be the same for the rest of your life.
On the premise of complying with the rules of the court, they can protect each other and take what they need, leaving no handle at all.
In addition to the abolition of the imperial examination, as long as the imperial examination exists, the chief examiner exists, and the master-apprentice status is there, sooner or later, it will become an excellent excuse for forming a party for personal gain.
"Liu Chun, if you think of a way for me, I won't hold you accountable."
Liu Chun rolled his eyes, and said secretly in his heart, Zhu Laosi, you'd better investigate my guilt, you have the ability to arrest my apprentices and grandchildren, torture them, and let them taste all eighteen kinds of torture, I, who is a master, if I feel a little distressed, I will turn my name upside down!
Zhu Laosi, do you dare to bet with me?
Liu Chun snorted angrily, "Your Majesty, there is no good way for the minister, but since ancient times, some cases can still be referred to." For example, in the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, the prime minister was dominant, and gradually the power of the prime minister was differentiated, and when it came to the Tang Dynasty, three provinces appeared, and then in the Song Dynasty, there were almost no real prime ministers. ”
Zhu Di pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Liu Chun, are you asking me to separate the imperial examination?" And then how many more examiners are set? ”
Liu Chun hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
Zhu Di waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry to pat yourself first, I ask you, how to split an article?" Do you need to write more essays and take more exams? If it is repeated, how can it be calculated? ”
Zhu Di asked questions continuously, and Liu Chun said with a smile: "Your Majesty misunderstood, although there is only one article, but the other content can also be examined!" For example, common sense, such as law, such as arithmetic, such as economics, and even foreign trade, medicine, geography, engineering...... All of them can be taken out for assessment. As the number of subjects increases, so does the number of examiners, and if there are more than a dozen examiners for each candidate, it will be difficult for them to form a party with each other. ”
To put it bluntly, it is still mixed with sand and water to expand the scope of the exam.
Zhu Di thought about it, don't say it, if this happens, it will indeed prevent teachers and students from forming an alliance.
"Liu Chun, you draw up a detailed plan for me, and I have to weigh it carefully."
Liu Chun hurriedly took his leave and left the palace quickly. Because he knows that if he walks slowly, he is guaranteed to be washed with saliva again!
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Chun left the palace gate, Zhu Di suddenly realized.
Fooled!
Fooled!
What kind of bad idea did this damn Liu Chun come up with?
He dismantled the imperial examination, and clearly replaced the Bagu article with his science. Others can't accept apprentices, but all the candidates have become your Liu Chun's disciples.
You're bullying me and my brain is turning too slowly, aren't you?
We're not done!
Zhu Di gasped, holding back to settle accounts with Liu Chun.
But no matter how much they tossed, it was the Manchu ministers who were scared.
Lose your marbles!
It's really crazy!
The imperial examination is going to be changed to science.
We have read the Four Books and Five Classics all our lives, and all of them are useless.
The Taoist system of Confucius and Mencius was overthrown, and now even the imperial examination has to be changed. The article is world-famous, full of wealth, and he can no longer enter the court as an official, and he has to learn Liu Chun's set of things in order to pass the exam and become an official.
It's tolerable, it's unbearable!
Where is the right way in the world?
Who can help the community?
This time it's much more serious than the distribution of the Kong family, it's really true, and it has touched the vital interests of the big guys.
Not to mention anything else, how many people's children and nephews have been studying for more than ten years and are preparing to participate in the imperial examination, if the content of the examination is changed, won't they read in vain?
Not for anything else, even for the sake of the children, you have to fight!
The officials hated Liu Chun and wanted to fight hard. But on second thought, the most hateful thing is Xie Jin. Why didn't he die of this thing, it's all because he talked nonsense and bewitched the saint, and as a result, he made such a terrible thing.
We must kill Xie Jin and dispel His Majesty's terrible thoughts!
At this moment, Xie Jin was indulging in the deliciousness of the sauce elbow and couldn't extricate himself. Since he was arrested in Layue last year, poor Bachelor Xie has lost a lot of weight, and the skin on his face has drooped, which is really pitiful.
Eat meat, eat meat in large gulps, and quickly make up for it.
Xie Jin was so busy eating Haisai that he didn't know how much trouble he had gotten into.
"Master, Pingyue Marquis asks to see you."
Zhang Fu came to visit Liu Chun.
"My lord, I received a letter, with no beginning or end, please take a look at it."
Liu Chun took it, the content was not complicated, only said that Zhang Fu should leave to return to Annan, ignore the others, let the follow-up entourage walk slowly, and serve tens of thousands of taels of gold.
"This is for you to release water on the road so that Xie Jin can be killed!"
Zhang Fu was shocked, "Lord Liu, it can't be someone joking, right?" ”
Liu Chun shook his head, "No one will joke with money, you don't have to care, they really moved, everything is left to me." ”
Liu Chun handed over a copy of the reform strategy for the imperial examination that had been prepared for a long time.
Zhu Di held Liu Chun's strategy in his left hand, and held the secret report of Dongchang in his right hand, and muttered for a long time. It's not that he is suspicious of Liu Chun, but he simply thinks that if it goes on like this, people will forget that there is still an emperor like him in the Ming Dynasty!
But since the civil officials strongly oppose it, it proves that I have done the right thing!
"This reform strategy will be issued to six departments!" Zhu Di said categorically.
