Wang Shouren and the others, looking at their mentor, had light in their eyes.

Revolutionizing the imperial examination.

It's a millennium.

And now, the teacher gave them a stage, and these young people all stood in the center of the stage, and the teacher gave them a pen and a blank piece of paper for them to splash ink on this white paper at will.

In their bones, they are essentially readers.

The learning of the Confucian sage, although distorted, became a tool of the gentry in later generations.

It has to be said that the sage's ideal of governing the country and leveling the world is still rooted in the hearts of countless people.

Of course, there are despicable people who use the gentleman not to stand under the dangerous wall to cover up their cowardice, and some people hold the immutable law of their ancestors to consolidate their own interests.

However, there are still a group of scholars who are worried about the world before and happy after the world.

That's right...... Fang Jifan is the latter.

His nobility has inspired generations of disciples.

Wang Shouren looked at his mentor deeply, and at this moment, there was a little wave on his face.

Tang Yin hid the excitement in his heart.

Jiang Chen and Liu Wenshan were silent, but their chests rose and fell fiercely.

Only Ouyang Zhi has a calm face, his eyes are like ancient wells without waves, and he is calm and relaxed.

Fang Jifan waved his hand: "Do it well!" ”

Do a good job, these three words are light.

Let the four disciples have red circles in their eyes.

That's a lot of trust.

The teacher not only teaches by word and deed, but also his confidant, and the trust he entrusts is the lifelong wealth of these disciples.

Ouyang Zhi began to take the lead, and immediately after, the disciples began to discuss.

In the end, the plan came out. The imperial examination is good, and the new system needs to fully extract the essence of the new system and remove its dregs.

For example, a unified examination is conducted, and a strict system is used to ensure the smooth running of the examination.

Meantime......

One after another, the detailed rules were drawn up.

In more than half a month, a draft took shape.

When Ouyang Zhi sent the draft to Fang Jifan, Fang Jifan saw that he looked haggard, and his heart hurt a little, these disciples, all of them are cattle, Fang Jifan likes diligent people. Like those who are lazy and lazy, they are not worthy of being their own disciples.

"Teacher, please take a look."

Fang Jifan didn't look at it, and put it away: "You don't have to look at it, I'll go to find Liu Gong and see if he has any suggestions." ”

Liu Gongnai is the first assistant of the cabinet, and his suggestion still needs to be accepted.

Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment, but before he could be silent, Fang Jifan had already taken the charter and ran away.

Looking at the back of the teacher, Ouyang Zhicai said, "The teacher...... Didn't you say that after the draft was drafted, the teacher discussed it with us? ”

“……”

Ouyang Zhi looked at the emptiness in the hall and was stunned.

……………

Fang Jifan rushed to the cabinet.

When those middle scholars and scribes saw Qi Guogong coming, their faces were a little delicate, and Fang Jifan said: "Duke Liu, where is Duke Liu?" ”

In Liu Jian's public room, a head poked out, this was Liu Jian's embarrassed face, and he coughed: "Qi Guogong...... Don't shout, come. ”

Fang Jifan stepped forward: "Gong Liu, there is something to teach." ”

As he spoke, he entered the public house.

Liu Jian was a little anxious, and actually closed the door tightly in person, deliberately at the door, with his ears against the door, and after confirming that the partition wall had no ears, he said softly: "What are you doing here, such fanfare, I don't know, I think the old man and you have something." ”

Fang Jifan was speechless, how did he feel, if he wanted to see Liu Jian now, he was like a spy joint.

Fang Jifan said: "Something......"

Liu Jian smiled bitterly and stroked his beard: "Those disciples of yours, there is no royal law, Lang Lang Qiankun, just beating people outside this noon gate, that Wu Yan, who has not yet gone to the ground, is miserable, and now it is a mourning examination in the Manchu Dynasty, and in Shilin, there is even more resentment, you ...... It's too unreasonable. ”

Fang Jifan blinked innocently: "Gong Liu, I didn't fight, what does it have to do with me?" Besides, isn't there an old saying, a slap doesn't make a sound? ”

Liu Jian: "......"

In fact...... He just complained, His Majesty's attitude is already obvious, this matter, the matter is peaceful, the palace doesn't care, Liu Jian doesn't want to care, even if he wants to take care of it, Liu Jie is still in the Golden Continent.

He sat down, muttered a few words repeatedly, and glared at Fang Jifan: "Anyway, what's the matter?" ”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "There is a charter for the new deal, which is about the law of selecting officials in Tongzhou and Baoding Prefecture...... Fang Jifan lowered his voice: "Your Majesty has explained it, and Liu Gong is serious, I don't know what to think." ”

Liu Jian's face changed: "Why did you find the cabinet?" ”

"What?" Fang Jifan was confused.

"Are you going to kill the old man?" Liu Jian said angrily: "This kind of thing, why don't you sneak to the house, come in through the back door, and look for the old man?" ”

Fang Jifan: "......"

When he heard the method of selecting officials, he also came to ask for his own opinions, and Fang Jifan came to the cabinet with such fanfare, and on the other day, this method of selecting officials was really announced to the public, and people thought of him, which was really harmful.

Liu Jian is a person who has no hope in this life, he is loved by Emperor Hongzhi, and he is really dead set on Emperor Hongzhi, plus his son is in Jinzhou, and he is fighting with the people of Xishan, and he wants to fight for a future, Liu Jian's ass, although he does not sit on the side of Xishan, at least, he can be impartial.

He said angrily: "Take the old man to take a look." ”

Fang Jifan sent the charter to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian took it and looked at it carefully.

Fang Jifan sat aside, bored, and said, "I didn't take a sip of tea, I asked someone to pour tea." So saying, get up, and go out.

Liu Jian said sharply: "Come back, don't open the door, do you think others don't know that you are choosing an official for this method, and ask the old man for advice?" ”

Fang Jifan glanced blankly and sat back again.

Liu Jian continued to watch, but this was the only time he watched, but his heart was pounding.

Although the mode of the imperial examination is still used, people come to the examination for officials, but the professionalism has become stronger, for example, the officials of the torture room not only have to take the literary examination, but also the martial arts examination, and they need to know the basic riding and archery, but ...... I heard that the punishment chamber in Baoding Prefecture is now fast, and it has begun to popularize horseback archery, which is the need to hunt down fugitives. In addition, the household needs to take arithmetic and basic literary examinations.

This literary examination is based on the Four Books and the Five Classics, and is biased towards new learning.

Other......

"Hey......" After Liu Jian finished reading it all, he let out a long sigh: "The world has changed, and the old man will not be able to catch up." ”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "What do you think? ”

Liu Jian said: "Most of them, the old man can't understand, what kind of talent is needed, the old man knows, it is true that there is not much, but here, there is one thing missing." ”

"Huh?" Fang Jifan said: "What's missing, I'll take a look." ”

Liu Jian glared at Fang Jifan: "You haven't seen it yet?" ”

Fang Jifan was embarrassed: "Actually, I've seen it, don't get me wrong." ”

"In this draft, the first article is wrong."

Fang Jifan looked confused: "Please also advise." ”

Liu Jian pointed to the grass chapter: "This first article should be that all officials, once they are hired, they must not be dismissed unless they violate the national law." ”

"What?" Fang Jifan was stunned: "This ...... Why? ”

Don't you be dethroned, isn't this just eating dry rice?

Fang Jifan is a person holding a golden rice bowl, but what he hates the most is that others are holding an iron rice bowl, brushing their own wool, and when they enter the public gate, they want to eat a lifetime of idle food, do you think you are my Fang Jifan?

Liu Jian looked at Fang Jifan with a smile: "If there is no this first article, no matter how well you draft this chapter, it will be useless." ”

Seeing Fang Jifan's confused expression.

Liu Jian said patiently: "First of all, if there is no absolute guarantee, who wants to participate in the exam and enter the public door for the rest of their lives?" Although it is a great initiative for you to enter the public gate and be promoted and selected in the future, it is a great initiative to be selected as an official in the world, after all, there are only a few, therefore, only sufficient protection can make people feel at ease. In the government,"

Fang Jifan nodded as if he didn't understand, in this regard, Fang Jifan really didn't understand much.

"And this is the second, the most important. The old man came to ask you, after this official finally passed the examination, he was on duty in the public gate, and their future was in the hands of Shangguan, so they would meet Shangguan, but what if even the right to depose was in the hands of Shangguan? If so, then ...... Have not all the officials in this land become the personal slaves of the officials? ”

Fang Jifan didn't seem to understand when he heard it, he thought about it: "The merit examination is decided by the superiors, and this is the right of personnel. Dismissal is also a personnel right, these two personnel rights, divided into two, the superior has the right to recommend the promotion of subordinates, but the person they dislike cannot be deposed? ”

Liu Jianle said: "Yes, for officials, there are nothing more than two things that control them, one is financial power, who issued this money." Second, it is a matter of officials, that is, who gives them jobs. If these are in the hands of the parent officials, then it will be terrible, they can depose whoever they want, and they can recommend whoever they want, so that you can ascend to heaven and rise to prominence, and you can lose your job, and the family will be hungry with you, so think about it, this parent official, hasn't it really become the parents of these officials, and the officials have become the private slaves of the parents and officials? Once these are all in hand, what is the difference between these parent officials and the local emperor? What if this local patriarch wants to fight against the imperial court? What if he deceived the court? What if he disobeys the yang and the yin? ”

"But to ensure that the officials are not dismissed, of course, will cause other problems, but it is the root of solving this problem, who the parents want to recommend, but the people he can recommend, after all, are a few, and the people who have been favored by him may have ten people, there are a hundred people, and no more, there will be none. And the other officials, without his favor, their jobs are guaranteed by the court, their family is also supported by the court, they are in the public gate, they know the things in the public gate, if the parents want to deceive the court, or even want to confront the court, are they willing to follow the parents and officials to act as tigers? No, on the contrary, the vast majority of officials are the foundation of checks and balances, because they are not afraid of losing their jobs, they dare to criticize some evil policies of their parents, even if they are not appreciated by their parents, they can still be their own errands, not swayed by their parents. ”

Liu Jian looked at Fang Jifan with a smile: "First, add this, this method of selecting officials can be implemented, and countless officials who have been admitted will have a sense of recognition with your method of selecting officials, and these thousands of officials will defend your method of selecting officials. If even the officials of your own election are indifferent to your decrees, then ...... This new system is useless. ”

Liu Jian paused and sighed: "Just like the imperial examination, the scholars of the world will benefit from this imperial examination system before they will spontaneously defend it, if anyone cheats in the imperial examination, or, is it in the imperial examination, even if it is the Son of Heaven or the old man, he will definitely not dare to have this idea, do you know why?" ”

Fang Jifan listened carefully, and his heart became afraid.

This is the truth, after the emergence of the imperial examination, more and more standardized, to the Song Dynasty and the present, this imperial examination has become an iron law that no one can touch, Emperor Chenghua likes a person, and he will never dare to let him go to the imperial examination by temperament, and then hand-pick him as a Jinshi, and even he wants to admit his own son. But he never had the idea of touching the imperial examination.

The reason for this is that there are thousands of scholars who are defending the imperial examination system, and any offense to the imperial examination will lead to chaos in the world.

If a new system does not benefit people, no one consciously defends it, or it cannot protect their fundamental interests, or even if there are not enough checks and balances in this system, it will soon disappear because no one is willing to defend it. Otherwise, it will lead to the excessive power of one party, which will lead to imbalance, and eventually, the situation of the feudal town.

Fang Jifan nodded again and again: "I'll change, I'll change, this is the first article, just write this." ”
