Chapter 178: Scientific Examination Questions
After retiring from the court, Fan Jingwen went to the emperor's imperial study for the first time.
The emperor's explanation, he didn't dare to slack off, otherwise his job would be lost.
After standing outside the imperial study for a while, Zhu Youzhen and A Qing came to the imperial study, and Fan Jingwen hurriedly stepped forward to salute:
"See the Emperor."
"Excuse me, talk inside."
"Obedience"
After entering the imperial study, Zhu Youzhen asked the little eunuch to move a stool for Fan Jingwen, and Fan Jingwen carefully sat on the stool.
Zhu Youzhen sat down on the Taishi chair, and Ah Qing immediately made him a cup of tea, and then stood behind Zhu Youzhen.
Zhu Youzhen: "Fan Shangshu." ”
Fan Jingwen: "Weichen is here." ”
Zhu Youzhen: "I know why I want to see you in the imperial study"
Fan Jingwen: "Weichen is stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Youzhen nodded, signaling Fan Jingwen not to be so nervous, and then said:
"There are big problems in the scientific expedition of the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that the time has come to reform."
Fan Jingwen was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself:
"Your Majesty, how is it reform again, starting from the defeat of the rogue, reform is being carried out every day, and some of the things of the ancestors are about to be completely denied by you."
Although Fan Jingwen was slanderous in his heart, he didn't dare to say a word, so he could only listen carefully to every word the emperor said, for fear of missing a word.
At this time, the school was already very perfect, there were schools in all provinces and counties, and the highest management body was the Daming Guozijian.
It can be said that the vast majority of the students in each scientific examination are outstanding in schools around the world, and they cannot participate in the imperial examination by attending private schools for a few days.
Especially the eight-strand text, if you want to be an official, the eight-strand text is a pass that must be passed.
The greatest harm of the Baguwen is that it corrupts the rule of officials, endangers the development of the whole society, and the law of scientific development also suffers from it.
Seeing Fan Jingwen sitting on the stool with half of his buttocks, looking cautious, Zhu Youzhen secretly laughed, and then continued:
"The first step in the reform of the imperial examination is to abolish the Bagu Wen, which is non-negotiable, and the Ministry of Rites must strictly enforce it.
The textbooks to be used in the future will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites, but it is too late this year, and it will be implemented from next year, and this part of history must be added.
I want to let the scholars of the Ming Dynasty understand history, I want the readers to know the harm of foreign races to my China for thousands of years, and I want the readers to know what kind of officials are the talents that I need in the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Plop"
Although Fan Jingwen had already made some preparations, when Zhu Youzhen said the reform plan, he still fell from the stool and sat on the ground.
But his reaction was not slow, and he immediately turned over and knelt in front of Zhu Youzhen, and pleaded guilty:
"Weichen gaffes, please forgive your majesty."
Seeing that after the death of Emperor Chongzhen, the whole family committed suicide in the Ming Dynasty, and was actually frightened like this by his own words, Zhu Youzhen got up and helped Fan Jingwen up.
"Aiqing, don't be so alarmed, I have you to support you, you just have to do it."
was helped up by the emperor himself, Fan Jingwen was a little flattered, and hurriedly bowed down again:
"Wechen obeys."
Zhu Youzhen turned around and walked to the table, picked up Mobao and wrote down four big characters, and then handed it to Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
"This is the topic of this scientific examination, they only need to write an essay according to these four words, and after the end, you will send me the top 20 essay examination papers.
"Obedience"
Fan Jingwen agreed, took the scientific examination question, and when he saw the words loyalty, filial piety, honesty and shame, he was stunned again.
Zhu Youzhen hated the civilian-bureaucratic clique at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the scientific examination was originally for the selection of officials for the state.
They must be told what it means to be loyal to the country, what it means to be filial to one's parents, what it means to be honest, and what it means to be dishonored.
"Fan Aiqing, you should understand my intentions, if you want to be my Ming parent's official, you must not only understand loyalty, filial piety and integrity, but also know what shame is.
Remember, before the exam starts, you can't give away a little bit of information, I have to let the candidates improvise, and also give examples"
"Wechen obeys the order"
Let's talk about the vassal kings.
In the Ming Dynasty, without a summons, the vassal king could not enter the capital, otherwise it would be a capital crime.
Therefore, although as the king of the Ming Dynasty, many people have never been to Jingshi.
However, the emperor made them lose a lot this time, but it also allowed them to regain their freedom and come and go to Beijing at will.
The current Jingshi, under the governance of Zhu Youzhen, has not only returned to its former liveliness, but is more prosperous than before.
The streets were full of traffic, people came and went, and the faces of the people were filled with happy and satisfied smiles.
The vassal king finally came to Jingshi, they were already gentlemen, and if they didn't have a good time, they would return to the fiefdom, they were really unwilling.
Walking on Jingshi Street, looking at the red willows and green flowers in front of him, King Fu's eyes were all flowered.
Seeing the appearance of King Fu, the other vassal kings were secretly amused.
King De:
"Brother Wang, you see, Jingshi is Jingshi, and the girls walking around the street are very beautiful."
Gan Wang:
"That's right, this king's fiefdom is in a remote area, and there are almost no beauties on the street, even if there are a few occasionally, either the legs are thick or the waist is round, how can it be compared with Jingshi"
King of Min:
"Haha brother Wang, how can this king say hello to you, you have too little knowledge, the southern beauty is called a beauty, there is a chance to go to Jiangnan, this king will take you to have a good time, you can't go out of the fief before, and now the emperor has not canceled the ban."
Yue Wang:
"Brother Wang, I heard that Jingshi has opened several Yichun Towers, and there are not only the families of the offending officials, but also the Tartar women brought from outside the customs, or let's open our eyes."
Nanwang:
"Okay, open your eyes, open your eyes, this king also wants to see interracial beauties"
King Lu:
"What kind of interracial beauty, that is, a Tartar woman, not only short and stubby, but also full of sheep smell, this king is not rare"
King Zhou, who had not spoken, opened his mouth to refute King Lu at this time:
"You don't know, the Tartar women who can be sent to Yichun Building will not be bad, I heard that all of them are Yanmares, and Chen Yuanyuan, the head of Qin Huai Bayan, is in Yichun Building."
"No, brothers Wang, you are free, the younger brother will take the first step."
A small vassal king living in the south of the Yangtze River, when he heard that Chen Yuanyuan was also in Yichun Tower, he immediately slipped away
The feudal kings, who were originally in a depressed mood, gradually relaxed at this time.
This is the current Ming vassal kings, their ancestors fought bloodily for the Ming Dynasty.
But by their generation, almost all of them were scrapped.
They don't care about anything but spending all day drinking.
Even when the Ming Dynasty was about to perish, many of them were indifferent.
There were a lot of them, and they also had a few family soldiers, so it was impossible for them all to gather in one family.
After a little discussion, the princes and soldiers divided into two ways and inquired separately about the location of the best Yichun Building in Jingshi.
Qianqing Palace
The white tiger was embarrassed and reported to Zhu Youzhen:
"Your Majesty, rest assured, none of those princes can become climate-conscious, and after they went around the capital, they all went to Yichun Tower."
Zhu Youzhen laughed when he heard it:
"Okay, I have lifted the ban that the vassal king can't enter Beijing at will, just to let them come to consume, tell Liu Ruyi, greet their beauties, and the remuneration will be doubled directly"
