This time, the interrogation efficiency that erupted from the Three Law Divisions can be said to be unprecedented, and even the important members of the Three Law Divisions are missing several people.

The Criminal Department, Dali Temple plus the Inspectorate, now the Dali Temple is missing a Zhengqing, the Criminal Department is missing a waiter, two Langzhong, the Inspectorate is missing a deputy capital imperial history, seven supervising the imperial history, two to the matter, most of the positions are vacant, even so, it is still a fast interrogation, forty-seven people have been duly punished, three of them were sentenced to beheading, seven were beheaded and imprisoned, fifteen were dismissed and exiled, and the rest were demoted or demoted out of the capital.

After this toss, a large number of vacancies have been created in the ten departments of the DPRK and the Central Committee at once, and if the vacancies of each position cannot be quickly filled, it is obvious that it will seriously affect the operation of the imperial court, and Song Yingxing and Bi Maokang are very old, and they have repeatedly asked to resign from their official posts and return to their hometowns, so the vacant positions will be even higher.

Zhu Jie had to issue an order to recall Li Yan and others back to the capital in advance and redeploy the layout of the imperial court.

First of all, the cabinet was re-established - Sun Chuanting was the first assistant, and Li Yan, Xu Yifan, Shi Kefa, and Huang Zongxi entered the cabinet to handle the daily affairs of the court; Thirteen Shangshu were then appointed.

Li Yan served as the secretary of the ministry, in charge of the evaluation, promotion, rewards and punishments of court officials;

Xu Yifan served as the secretary of the military department, commanding all the troops of the imperial court, and Cha Xuan served as the left squire of the military department and the governor of the navy, in charge of the fleet of the Ming Empire;

Shi Kefa served as the secretary of the Criminal Department, in charge of the national criminal prison proceedings; Yang Tingshu is the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Inspectorate, in charge of official supervision and review of criminal and prison cases;

Huang Zongxi was the Yin of Shuntian Mansion and concurrently served as the secretary of the household department, in charge of the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time moved the headquarters of the Industrial Bank to the capital.

Mao Yuanyi served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of national engineering, water conservancy construction and weapons manufacturing, merged the capital with the Nanjing Firearms Bureau and the War Bureau, and prepared to build the Ming Arsenal.

Gao Jie still serves as the secretary of the Ministry of Intelligence, in charge of the internal and external intelligence collection and sorting affairs of the Ming Dynasty;

Gao Hongtu served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and was also in charge of the affairs of various countries;

Fang Yizhi was transferred to the Ministry of Educational Affairs, Tongguan Daming Education and Scientific Research Affairs;

Zhu Shunshui was transferred to the Ministry of Commerce to be responsible for the industrial and commercial and trade affairs of the Ming Dynasty;

Hou Fangyu was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Taxation, responsible for national taxation and customs revenue affairs;

In addition to these, Yuan Jixian replaced the original Li Yan and became the governor of Nanzhili, overseeing the government affairs of Nanzhili, and Gu Yanwu was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang.

At the same time, in order to be able to recycle, although Bi Maokang and Song Yingxing retired from the position of Shangshu, the two of them were ordered to build Shuntian Academy in the capital, and Yingtian Academy, one south and one north, began to vigorously establish teaching, especially natural science, which Zhu Jie has always attached great importance to, and now that the situation in the customs has stabilized, it is natural to exert force.

Of course, these changes can only be regarded as the general transfer of court personnel, but Zhu Jie has to do more than that.

The members of the cabinet have just arrived, and Zhu Jie has come up with another huge change, reforming the imperial examination!

From next year, the imperial court abolished the eight shares of scholars, the scope of the imperial examination is not limited to the four books, but the hundred schools of thought are included, the genre is not limited to the form of eight shares, advocating free play, but also canceling the limit on the number of words, and at the same time expanding the scholars participating in the imperial examination from Confucianism to liberal arts, engineering, agriculture, business, and arithmetic.

As soon as the idea was proposed, several people in the cabinet were blindfolded, but they didn't expect that just a month after Ansheng, the emperor would have another moth......

This time, even Xu Yifan was a little helpless, he didn't have any specific opinions on reforming the imperial examination, but he also needed to advance slowly, and he would advance drastically as soon as he came up, which was very easy to fail.

Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination system has been implemented for thousands of years, such an innovation, it has not been seen for eternity, what are the pros and cons, but it is difficult to foresee, now that the imperial court has just settled down, it is really a big fight......"

"Don't you make a big move?"

Zhu Jie said with a smile: "Bai Gu, I only ask you, taking the Ministry of Industry as an example, most of these officials in the Ministry of Industry are from the imperial examination, how many people know about water conservancy?" How many people know firearms, and how many people know farming? If the people in the Ministry of Industry don't even understand their responsibilities and don't even have basic abilities, how can I believe that they can manage the Ministry of Industry well? A Bi Maokang, a Mao Yuanyi, this is already the only few remaining officials who are proficient in the study of things that the Ming Dynasty has said, what about the future, when they pass away, will anyone follow up? Not only the Ministry of Industry, but also the Qin Tianjian, as well as the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Taxation, how many people are proficient in arithmetic? Do you think you are really preparing to build Yingtian Academy, and now you are preparing to set up Shuntian Academy, what is it for? The selection of materials for the country, is to be eclectic, the original ancestors left the eight shares of the scholar, too binding people's thoughts, I only ask you, you are in the examination of the article is the article, and your article on weekdays, which is better or worse, will you not count? ”

"However, the emperor, since Dong Zhongshu respected Confucianism alone and deposed the hundred schools, Confucianism, as a prominent school, is the foundation of governing the country, which is obvious to all. How is a big country governed? Even if the science of things you mentioned has a powerful function, how can you govern the world? These doctrines have no basis for governing the world, right? ”

Shi Kefa said urgently, this is no longer related to the rise and fall of the Wenchen Group, but to the rise and fall and even the survival of Confucianism!

"Confused!"

Zhu Jie shouted: "Xianzhi, now the times have changed, the world is different, things are different, things are different, according to what you said, what about before Dong Zhongshu?" The country does not need to be governed? Think about it, when was the era when the mind was most active and the scholarship was most prosperous? Spring and Autumn Warring States! A hundred schools of thought contend, a hundred flowers bloom! The Qin State used the Legalist doctrine to become the head of the Seven Heroes, and only then did the King of Qin sweep the Liuhe, and look down on He Xiong! In addition, Mozi's doctrine is also a valuable asset, not to mention the study of Huang Lao, after the dispute between Chu and Han at the end of Qin, the world is poor, and there is no Huang Lao's doctrine to make them recuperate, where did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty come from to expand the territory? If we don't innovate, when the time comes, it will be us who will be slaughtered, do you think those maritime powers in the West will always tolerate a big country like ours to live in peace? Once we fall behind, they will not hesitate to call! The Dutch now have hundreds of warships in the South Seas! The strength is even higher than that of our Imperial Sailors! ”
