Zhu Gaoxu adopted a strategy of growing up and began to work on his ideas.

At first, it did not involve the rules and morals of the entire dynasty, nor did it change the existing power structure. He just didn't want to be like his father Zhu Di, and while imposing fear on others, he was also in fear for a long time, and even his concubines didn't dare to get close to him at will.

Rao is like this, Zhu Gaoxu just did something different, and immediately received all kinds of intimidation notes.

Generally, those who dare to intimidate the emperor end up miserable. But as long as you add the motivation of "for your good", and if there is some truth in it, the effect will be different.

For example, the Hanlin Academy's recital of Xie Jin's recital discouraged the emperor from establishing the "Armed Arsenal". Xie Jin's rhetoric was very terrible, saying that the emperor would repeat the mistake of the warlords at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the country would not be a country; For the sake of Zhu Gaoxu's throne, he did not hesitate to give him a direct advice.

Xie Jin's reason was that if the children of soldiers were allowed to gather in one place to study, when these children became adults, they would enter various military camps to serve as military generals, which would inevitably form a party and bring disaster to the national court. And the little ladies raised by the "Xianshutang" are literate and know etiquette, and their mothers and brothers will be more likely to choose the right "Wubeitang" generals to marry and further form a party.

Even Zhu Gaoxu summoned his confidant Qi Tai and asked about his views on this recital; Qi Tai's reaction was not too strong, and he only said that it was not a bad thing to prevent the slightest problem.

Civil officials born in the imperial examination will also form parties, fellow villagers, and various friendship groups in the same year; Since the Hongwu, Jianwen, Yongle, and Hongxi dynasties, "colleagues" who had been loyal to a certain emperor would also form a party. However, there seems to be a consensus among officials that the harm of civilian-official parties is far less than that of military generals; Because Wufu may go to mutiny, or warlordship.

Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu is not frightened, he has his own independent thinking mode.

Judging from the current "Armed Forces", the consequences may not be as serious as the civilian officials say; As for what will happen in the future, what will people do now?

(In the future, Chinese people will become as numb and poor as in the old photos of the late Qing Dynasty, who would have predicted that?) As far as the photo is concerned, it seems reasonable that the whole country is despised and insulted by all countries. ）

First of all, the current civilian official rank is generally very low, but the power is extremely high, and the power of the military general group has been divided. Secondly, hereditary officers in the military system are still the main source of military generals, and they are not the same as the officers from the school.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu ignored the opposition of the civil officials for the time being.

Officials directly complain in the letter, which is only a minor measure; What they will do in the future and whether the conflict will escalate, Zhu Gaoxu does not know. However, he assessed the contradictions on his own, and believed that the core power of the civil servants had not been shaken for the time being, and everyone would not be able to do anything.

Zhu Gaoxu is still full of various remarks. Miaojin was very curious, thinking that among the emperors of the past dynasties, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to care very much about the low-level soldiers and civilians. He was noncommittal, for there was no way to explain it; He can't say it, because he has been at the bottom for many years, so he is more sympathetic to the demands of the people......

On March 15 of the first year of Wude, Zhu Gaoxu presided over the palace examination, and this time he was called Jichou Enke. According to the triennial examination system and the temple examination, March this year is the right day.

With the previous model, let the readers who study hard in the cold window get the highest level

fame, thus entering the circle of dynastic power; The examination questions are all issued by civil officials, and they are based on Confucianism and the words of the sages. This is the main source of state power in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu followed the habit and was recognized by the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the scholars of the world.

Qi Tai, Hu Hu, Xia Yuanji and others participated in the question. Zhu Gaoxu casually picked a policy problem, anyway, the core is the same thing.

"I inherit the vast industry, Fu Hongsheng's luck, since the emperor, I have been working hard all night to seek the way, and to promote governance. And Tan Zhe said: Lile criminal government, four up to the next without disobedience, then the royal road is prepared. He also said: Etiquette and music are the foundation of the country, criminal politics is the auxiliary of the country, and it is in ancient times. As for the profit and loss of the three generations, the gift is made because of human affection, and the harmonic five tones are used to become musical, and Zhou Dabei ...... Nothing to hide, I will see it for myself. ”

The writing is still good, citing a lot of allusions, fortunately there are bureaucrats to help, otherwise Zhu Gaoxu would not have been able to write this kind of article. He still remembered that the books and characters of "the former Zhu Gaoxu" were also very good, but it was easy to laugh and be generous when he had to write articles in front of the scholars who had read the scriptures to the fullest.

The remarks in it that "etiquette and music are fundamental, and criminal administration is only auxiliary" would not have been mentioned if Zhu Gaoxu had written it. It's just that the other policy items are similar.

In this year's examination, the Ministry of Rites selected eighty-four tributes, and all of them waited for the palace examination to be promoted to Jinshi, and no one would be eliminated according to the rules.

Zhu Gaoxu personally reviewed the articles, and he had to read eighty-four classical Chinese texts full of allusions, and sometimes he himself was confused, because after forgetting some obscure allusions, he could not figure out the meaning of the article.

But it doesn't matter, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't care about the subtle differences in style and thought between them.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu randomly selected a few well-written and neat article authors, and as the first class, he chose a "calligrapher" named Xiao Shizhong as the champion. As for the arrangement of the second and third grades, it all depends on everyone's luck.

This feeling of controlling the fate of others in a single thought, Zhu Gaoxu has to admit that it is still very cool.

However, there was one article that piqued his interest. The reason is simple, he saw different voices in the literati. This person's name is Liu Ming.

Zhu Gaoxu did not fully agree with the content of Liu Ming's article, but he saw that this person's words were different. Liu Ming has a passage in it, which means that everyone can have their own understanding of the sage's scriptures, and it is only a reference to explore the "Ming Dao"; This kind of remark cannot be the concept of science.

Zhu Gaoxu first thought of a sentence: for a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets.

Then he thought of Xinxue (Lu Jiuyuan: Learn Gou Zhiben, the Six Classics are all my footnotes) There is a similar statement. Although Zhu Gaoxu was not at all as good as a scholar in writing this kind of classical Chinese, he read a lot of books in the Ming Dynasty, and although he could not memorize the classics he dabbled in, he also knew what he had to say; So he saw that this Liu Ming might believe in the Song Dynasty psychology.

The philosophies of the era of a hundred schools of thought were almost no descendants in the Ming Dynasty thousands of years later, except for Confucianism. However, Confucianism is different, and it was produced relatively recently, and it also hid many followers until the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaoxu was in the Dongnuan Pavilion, took this article and read it twice in a row, and sat on the chair and pondered for a while.

When Liu Ming participated in the imperial examinations at all levels, he must have written the content of science, otherwise he would not be able to pass the Gongshi level. But why did he write such an article during the temple examination and make remarks that were not recognized by science?

may be that the sentence in the title, "No general, no hidden, I will see it in person" inspired Liu Ming; In addition, the palace test will not be defeated, and the risk is low, which undoubtedly encouraged Liu Ming.

However, just because the risk is slightly lower does not mean that there is no risk. The articles of the temple examination will be archived, which means that the ministers can also see them. Liu Ming wrote like this, even if Zhu Gaoxu let him go, wasn't he afraid of being excluded by the courtiers?

There are those who are unwilling to compromise with the world for the sake of faith. Liu Ming doesn't seem to be that kind of person, because he has already written a lot of science articles before he can get to the palace exam. His purpose may be to attract Zhu Gaoxu's attention.

Such a purpose has undoubtedly succeeded. Zhu Gaoxu didn't read the champion's article very carefully, but he read what Liu Ming wrote twice.

Zhu Gaoxu weighed it for a while, and still ranked Liu Ming in the third place.

The things he has done recently have caused the worries and dissatisfaction of the courtiers, and they don't want to cause any more conflicts between the monarchs and ministers for the time being; For example, if Liu Ming's mental articles are ranked first, what kind of waves will be caused in the imperial court? There was no need for him to do that, because there was no rule that those who were at the top of the rankings would definitely be reused.

…… After the gold list was posted, Zhu Gaoxu gave a "regular banquet" in the Fengtian Temple to congratulate the newly promoted imperial elites, Jinshi and the first people on entering the peeling class, which was called the "Jinshi Grace Banquet".

For the scholars who have just come out of the cold window, the banquet in the palace hall is super high, and they can boast in front of the villagers for a lifetime. However, the dishes are actually very simple, and there are no more than ten dishes with small plates, and there are nothing particularly precious.

Fortunately, the savings of the imperial court did not affect the excitement of the jinshi. It doesn't matter what you eat, but where you eat it and with whom you eat it is the focus of the feast.

Even if there are only a few dishes, it also makes the jinshi ready to "pack" after the fact, and they urgently need to take the palace food home to ask for credit from their parents, wives and children who have been waiting for them to study in poverty for many years without complaint.

Zhu Gaoxu issued an order to ask the jinshi to go to the palace in batches to greet him. The new jinshi he paid the most attention to was Liu Ming, who was ranked behind the third class.

This is a thin yellow young man in his twenties at most, wearing a silk robe issued by the Ministry of Rites, but he can't hide the unhaired lining inside his coat, and even there is a patch on the collar.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately judged: This is a person who has the idea of politics and governance.

The reason for his judgment is very simple. The family background is not very good, which means that there are not many connections to rely on in officialdom and in comparison; Therefore, Liu Ming dared to take risks, hoping to get the emperor's attention. If you are a jinshi who doesn't really want to do a career, why do you have to do whatever it takes to get power?

For Zhu Gaoxu, if he can take advantage of the battle between good mind and science, he can muddy the waters, and the civil officials on both sides will pay too much attention to the dispute between schools; At this time, Zhu Gaoxu carried out more in-depth reforms, and he was able to turn to contradictions and fish in troubled waters.

After a "flat body", Liu Ming stood up. Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him meaningfully.
