"Poof!"

Aunt Xu, who has always been very anxious and nervous, couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard this, shook her head with a smile, and gradually relaxed.

And Xu Wei was even more fascinated by it, and his eyes were more and more expectant.

And the smile left by the sarcasm was already stiffened on the faces of Cui Youli and the others at this time.

They looked at Guo Dan blankly.

You can't be so shameless!

If you want to be hard, you will be hard to the end, how can you get involved with the emperor and the queen mother.

What a fox and a fake tiger!

When they saw that Guo Dan was so fearless and so daunting before, they were almost moved by him, thinking that he had drilled this pit.

As a result, he suddenly came up with such a sentence.

took the emperor and the queen mother as a shield, and licked it by the way.

Licking the dog is nothing more than that.

However, in this case, who would dare to say that Zhang Juzheng's proposal for reform was wrong?

Isn't this the distribution of the pot to the emperor and the queen mother?

Of course, this is also a fact, at that time, it was because the emperor and the empress dowager were very supportive of Zhang Juzheng that Zhang Juzheng was able to reform.

As for the candidates, they were depressed.

Everyone is licking dogs, why is there such a big gap?

We lick with a sigh of emotion, and you are able to lick with orgasms.

This is probably the first thing they learn.

Licking also requires skill.

Depending on the angle, the feeling of licking it out is completely different.

Guo Dan suddenly lost his momentum and said with a slight smile: "The reason why I talked about this is because if Zhang Juzheng's reform was wrong from the beginning, then there is nothing to talk about below." Since it is right, then there is something to say. ”

As he spoke, he gestured to the side.

Immediately one of them took down the white cloth from before and hung up a new white cloth.

I have to say that Xu Jirong taught Guo Dan a lot of things, if there was no Xu Jirong, Guo Dan probably took the black charcoal and wrote on it, instead of moving his mouth, making people ready, and he was not even willing to raise his hand.

With money, you can turn a board of wood into a projection, but it's just a little slower.

When the candidates saw that the score sheet was removed, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but when they looked at the newly hung white cloth, they breathed in another breath of cold air.

And the guests on both sides were swept away from the haze, and their eyes were shining.

Because there are three big characters written on the white cloth--- the test method.

Do you want to talk specifically?

That's good!

Xu Wei stood up even more, and his face gradually became serious.

The previous words were opportunistic.

But that's pure hardcore.

There's no way to cut corners.

The key is that Guo Dan understands?

Aunt Xu couldn't help but worry again, because as far as she knew, Guo Dan didn't understand this, she thought that Guo Dan would focus on economic issues, but she never thought that Guo Dan would actually mention this test method.

"Zhang Juzheng's reform involves many, many aspects, and I can't go through them all in one class, so I'll just talk about a few key points. The first thing to say is naturally this test method. ”

Guo Dan said: "This is the most important reform measure at the beginning of Zhang Juzheng's reform, who can say why Zhang Juzheng proposed the examination method?" ”

The candidates looked at each other, and the picture of being taught a lesson was still vivid, and no one dared to speak rashly.

Guo smiled lightly: "If you don't even dare to speak, then how can you assist the Holy Monarch in the future?" ”

A candidate stood up and said: "The key to governing the country is to give priority to the rule of officials, and anyone who has reformed throughout the ages must first rectify the rule of officials, and if the rule of officials is not clear, nothing can be talked about." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "You are very right, but there is a premise for this, if the rule of officials is clear, then does it still need to be rectified?" The premise of rectification must be that the rule of officials is not clear, so was there a problem with the rule of officials at that time, and if so, where was the problem? ”

“......！”

The candidates looked at each other with a confused expression.

They wanted to answer that Zhang Juzheng was rectifying the rule of officials, and his purpose was to control power.

But they knew that if they said this, they would definitely be sprayed lightly by Guo, but if they didn't say so, they didn't know what to say.

On the left guest seat, a guest named Xiao Yan stroked his beard and smiled: "At that time, whether the officials were clear or not, regardless of it, Zhang Ju was thinking that although the official assessment was based on morality, it was too important to morality and neglected the industry. ”

When Liang Yang and the others heard this, their eyes lit up.

It's a bit of a look.

"But it's not like it at all." Guo Dan shook his head and said.

Xiao Yan frowned and said, "Didn't you also say before that the means to deal with the problem are the most important?" ”

"I didn't say that."

Guo Dan denied it neatly: "I'm just saying that our academy is mainly about teaching ways to deal with problems, but I have also repeatedly reiterated that the foundation is the most important thing, and if the foundation is not laid well, everything you learn will be in vain." ”

Xiao Yan thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case, and said secretly, this kid really didn't leak when he spoke. asked: "Then do you think Zhang Juzheng's proposal for the test method is right or wrong?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Of course it's right." ”

Note! Note!

When Xiao Yan heard this, he suddenly felt excited.

You're done!

The test has been abolished by Wanli, you still dare to say that it is right, don't you say that Wanli is a faint king?

Guo Dan ignored him at all, and said to the candidates in front of him: "Is it right for Zhang Juzheng to propose the test method?" This is of course true, but it doesn't mean that the previous one is wrong. Virtue is the mainstay, supplemented by karma, this is actually very correct, a person with noble virtue, even if it is mediocre, can at least ensure social stability, no matter how bitter the people are, they will not suffer anywhere. But if the virtue is not good, even if there are means to reach the sky, it will only harm one party. ”

When Su Xu and Tan Xiu heard this, they were all confused.

They are still like this, and the candidates below are even more puzzled.

One of the examinees asked: "You said that Zhang Juzheng's proposal for the test method is right, why do you say that morality is the main thing and karma is the supplement?" Aren't you contradicting yourself? ”

Almost all of them nodded.

Including those who eat melons.

Guo smiled and asked, "What do you think of me?" ”

Everyone looked at Guo Dan in astonishment.

Guo Dan said: "When did you become so afraid of me?" I remember when you commented on me before, it was really loud, what a vile and shameless, treacherous and cunning, and so on. ”

One of the people in the outer circle shouted, "Since you know, what do you ask?" ”

"Haha!"

There was a burst of laughter.

Guo Dan also laughed, and after they gradually quieted down, he asked again: "Then I don't know where my meanness and shamelessness are?" Where is the treacherous cunning? Just because I'm a businessman? ”

“......！”

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

They really can't tell.

Guo Dan had done despicable and shameless things, but none of them knew it.

"You think I'm despicable and shameless, because you think I'm despicable and shameless, because others say I'm despicable and shameless, not because you know me well, so that is to say, it may be right and it may be wrong, we can do this between us, but can we govern like this?"

Guo Dan said with a serious face: "Those who are officials must seek truth from facts, don't follow the crowd, don't be ambitious, and don't talk on paper." Theoretically speaking, this is of course correct, and it is almost the same as the view I advocate, and I also say that self-cultivation is the foundation.

But as I also said, this virtue is self-cultivation, and it is a very personal thing, how do you judge whether a person is virtuous or not? This can only come from the subjective opinion of the examiner, who believes that there is virtue and there is virtue, and there is no virtue without virtue.

But is this fair to officials?

Some unscrupulous officials only need to have a good relationship with the examiner, so they can get away with it, and it is difficult to investigate this kind of thing anyway. Zhang Juzheng has been an official for so many years, and it was not until after his death that he knew that he was greedy for money and lustful.

Hypocrites abound in this world, if you don't live with him for a long time, it will be difficult for you to judge his virtue. That's true, but it's hard to do, and it's hugely buggy. Looking at the performance is obviously more operational, and this performance is objective, which is difficult to hide.

In the future, if you are a member of the literary world and specialize in academic research, then you can only consider good and evil, right and wrong, just like Mr. Xiao, but if you enter the court as an official, you must not only consider good and evil, but also consider whether it is operational.

For example, whoever says 'why not eat minced meat', this does not care about the people, and let the people eat meat, but the problem is that everyone knows that they can't eat food, and how can there be meat to eat, which has become a joke. ”

Xiao Yan listened to it for a long time, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he dared to love you, and he was sarcastic about me. When he was about to get angry, he suddenly found that many people nodded frequently, and not only the candidates, but also held back at the moment.

"Focusing on performance, we can get more objective feedback, which is more operational than the previous assessment system. So what do you think of Zhang Juzheng's operation? Guo Dan asked again.

How's it going?

You're making things difficult for us!

Candidates are even less able to answer.

Li Zhen really couldn't bear it, and said: "I think it is very successful, since the promulgation of the examination law, the tax revenue of all places has increased a lot, so that many incompetent officials have nothing to hide, which is very beneficial to the country and the people, but it is not good for the officials." ”

When he said this, Cui Youli and they just despised him.

But if Guo Dan wants to say so, then it's okay.

Because their status is equal, they themselves often criticize the government, and if Li Zhen is not allowed to say it, then they can't say it.

Under this premise, the literati are still very united.

"Baiquan Jushi's words are wrong, if it is really good, why will the examination method be abolished."

"Huh?"

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why he had to look at Guo Dan, brother, what do you mean.

Guo turned a blind eye, and said to the candidates: "Actually, Zhang Juzheng's test method is a bit similar to my method of doing business, I often tell the tooth people of the tooth shop, if you can't bring much profit to the tooth shop this year, you will have to leave next year, Zhang Juzheng also asked the officials."

If our demands are reasonable, then the conclusion is that I am right and Zhang Ju is wrong. ”

Li Zhen's curiosity was completely hooked, "What do you mean by Your Excellency?" ”

The audience was even more silent, and everyone entered the state.

Guo smiled lightly: "I ask the tooth man to do this, the market is good, of course it is easy to do, but in the case of a bad market, can the tooth man take a knife to force others to do business?" Of course, they can't, they can only use their wisdom to find a way.

But officials have power, and even if there is a natural disaster and the people can't get so much food, they can force the people to hand over their rations, and many officials will definitely do this, because if they don't do this, they will lose their black hats.

Therefore, it is harmless for me to do this, and it must not be said that it is wrong. But Zhang Juzheng did this, if he didn't think about it clearly, the consequences would be very serious, although now again, there are some hindsights, but judging from the situation later, he did not think about it at that time.

Therefore, it is a very wise decision for the Holy Lord to support Zhang Juzheng's reform, and it is also a very wise decision to abolish the examination law, and there is no conflict between the two. ”

Licking a dog can't die well!

Cui Youli and Xiao Yan really hated it.

After doing it for a long time, it turned out that Guo Dan was borrowing Zhang Juzheng to show Wanli's wisdom and martial arts.

But then again, Guo Dan licks with skill and no sense of disobedience.

Those candidates don't pay attention to this problem at all, they are also using their brains to think.

One candidate asked, "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "If I want to have this ability, I'm still here?" I've been in the Cabinet a long time ago, and that's something you should think about in the future. However, compared to me and Zhang Juzheng, I may be able to give you some ideas, the same nature, I do it harmlessly, and Zhang Juzheng is wrong. The key is that the tooth people dare not use knives to force others to do business, why is this? ”

"Because it's illegal." One candidate replied stupidly.

Guo Dan nodded and smiled: "That's very right. ”

The candidate was immediately stunned and almost burst into tears.

Guo Dan... Guo Dan actually said that I was right?

Is this true?

Guo smiled lightly: "The tooth people don't dare to do this because of the supervision and deterrence of the law, but if the officials do this, who will supervise?" He is a law enforcer, a ruler of the law, and if he wants to do this, he will definitely not punish himself. ”

"Joke!"

Huang Daxiao said: "The imperial court has its own supervisory body. ”

Are you an ornament when I am the Metropolitan Inspectorate?

Guo smiled lightly: "If I am here to supervise the tooth man, and he violates the law to make money for me, then he uses a knife and a gun, and I may turn a blind eye." ”

Huang Daxiao snorted: "That's just you? ”

Guo Dan said: "Then dare to ask Huang Yushi, why was the test law abolished?" ”

"Because...!"

Huang Daxiao opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.

Because Guo Dan was right, there were indeed many officials at that time who did everything they could to collect taxes and grab money in order to keep the black yarn hat and for their political achievements.

This is also an important evidence of the ministers' proposal to abolish the examination law.

Huang Daxiao naturally will not overturn this evidence again.

Guo smiled lightly: "It's not the reason of the people, but the reason of the system design, it is that you asked me to pay one million taels a year, but in the event of a natural disaster, I can't pay so much, and if I can't pay it, I have to punish me, then I have to rob it, I gave you all the money I robbed, you took the money, you still blame me for robbing the money, I think there should be no such shameless people in the world, and Zhang Juzheng should be blamed, and the fact is also to blame Zhang Juzheng." ”
