Chapter 1127: An Unexpected Candidate
Fortunately, Sun Chuanting and Shi Kefa are not small people, although their faces are ugly, but they don't have anything else to say, after all, they are despised by the emperor like this, and it is too shameful for the two scholars.
"The emperor praises falsely, the minister is really ashamed, Lord Sun and Lord Shi are the pillars of the court, how can it be compared with the minister......"
Huang Zongxi said with a bitter face.
Zhu Jie waved his hand and replied: "Taichong, you don't have to be too modest, when it comes to being an official, your current experience in politics does have many shortcomings, but when it comes to learning, Bai Gu and Xianzhi can only bow to the upper hand, and the two of them are not materials for learning, however, you are not the same as Ning Ren, but I have huge expectations on you, Bai Gu and Xianzhi are already people who have passed the age of the mandate of heaven, how many years can they serve in the imperial court at most?" In the future, no one over the age of seventy will be wanted, the cabinet members and the ministers shall not be more than sixty-five years old, even if I will not reach the age of seventy in the future, I will still sit on the throne of the emperor, and I will have abdicated to the crown prince long ago, the world is the world of young people after all, and now the two of them are in their prime, ruling the world, ten years later, I am afraid that they will have to be replaced, replaced by a group of you! ”
If there is anything else, Sun Chuanting and Shi Kefa didn't hear it, but the emperor said that he would abdicate before he was seventy years old, this is not a joke, according to the emperor's strong body, not to mention the spring and autumn of a hundred years, at least when he is eighty years old, he should still be very tough, and now the emperor has begun to think about giving way to the crown prince in the future......
"Your Majesty, don't scare us, this, this is absolutely not good, how can Da Ming leave the emperor!"
Shi Kefa said urgently.
"That's it! Recently, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Scientific Examination have jointly posted notices in various state capitals to cancel the Eight Shares of Scholars, and at the same time leave enough time for these people to prepare, from now to next year's autumn, it is still nearly a year and a half, enough! ”
Zhu Jie has made up his mind, and several scholars have no choice, but once the emperor has made up his mind, who can waver?
Zhu Jie paused, and then said: "Pass the decree, Fang Yizhi, the secretary of the scientific examination department, Huang Zongxi, the secretary of the household department, Li Yan, the secretary of the ministry, and Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, will hand over the special fold on the scientific examination restructuring within seven days, and I will personally review it, and after it is approved, it will be issued in the clear decree and notified to the world." ”
These people are all talents who have been used in the world, each person is good at a little different, which plan for one person comes out, and learns from others' strengths, Zhu Jie has saved a lot of effort.
Coming out of the palace, Sun Chuanting said helplessly to Li Yan: "Lord Li, in the future, you have to admonish the emperor a lot, although everything in the pass is peaceful now, it will not take a few years to restore the prosperous era, but the emperor has repeatedly made big moves, which may not be a good thing for the court......"
Li Yan shook his head and replied, "Lord Baigu, when you arrive, tell me what the emperor has done, when will we be able to see through it?" In particular, these forward-looking decisions make us even more confused, and none of us can understand the emperor's deep meaning, how can we persuade? To put it bluntly, the emperor is the grandmaster who built the temple system, and we are just a small carpenter, who can only work according to the drawings, and if we want to interfere with the grandmaster's design of the system, where are we qualified? ”
Shi Kefa snorted fiercely, although he was a little unconvinced, but what Li Yan said was not wrong at all, in front of the emperor, it involved these major policies, and he couldn't resist the emperor when he tied them together, his decision was really unfathomable, and there were any drawbacks to the imperial examination? Of course there is, but in the world, only the emperor dares to deny the eight-share scholars, and start over, you must know that the eight-share scholars, but Emperor Taizu appointed it, and it is inappropriate to describe it in an inappropriate sentence - forget the ancestors!
However, is there still a lot of things where the emperor sits down to violate the ancestral system and forget his ancestors? No matter which time, it proved the wisdom of the emperor's decision-making, so that in front of the emperor, the courage to refute now has disappeared little by little.
Xu Yifan said with a smile: "Okay, this matter has nothing to do with me, if you want to be troublesome, it will be troublesome to bite you, haha, okay, I won't talk to you, I still have to go to see that kid Mufeng, so I will leave!" ”
Xu Yifan walked away, and the rest of the people had no choice but to leave.
Seven days passed quickly.
Several people's scientific research restructuring folds have already been handed over.
Zhu Jie watched them one by one, but what Zhu Jie didn't expect was that the plan was not Li Yan's, nor Huang Zongxi's, but Gao Hongtu's, which really surprised Zhu Jie.
Of course, this is also reasonable, whether it is Li Yan or Huang Zongxi, they are not from Jinshi, although Fang Yizhi is from Jinshi, but the officialdom is frustrated, and the experience is insufficient, only Gao Hongtu, Jinshi was born, starting from the middle scholar, all the way from supervising the imperial history of the imperial history, and then to the left capital of the imperial history of the Ministry of Labor, the head of the household, the confidential position in the court, I have done it all over again, the ability is indeed good, and the experience is deeper, for the reform of the scientific examination department, it can be said that it is the most suitable person.
Zhu Jie shook his head, at this moment, Gao Hongtu finally has a place to use, but unfortunately, the current Ministry of Rites will replace the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future to take over all foreign affairs, and it is no longer suitable to be in charge of the entire imperial examination.
Now there is only a temporary will, or so, simply put Gao Hongtu in the scientific research department as a scholar, and Fang Yizhi in the Ministry of Rites as a scholar, anyway, Fang Yizhi is a scholar who has studied both China and the West, and is the best at dealing with foreigners, just to make the best use of his talents.
A will, Gao Hongtu and Fang Yizhi came to a big move, swapped positions, to the surprise of the officials in the court, the imperial examination reform, this matter has been spread in the court in the past few days, in the end, what I didn't expect is that it was not Li Yan, Sun Chuanting or Fang Yizhi who presided over the scientific examination reform, but the old Gao Hongtu!
Even Gao Hongtu was quite surprised, since the emperor attaches so much importance to the restructuring of the scientific examination, it must be the person he trusts the most, and he is not enough in that respect, right? When I was in Nanjing, I didn't even make trouble with the emperor, but now the emperor has made an unprecedented effort to let himself pick up the burden!
