Chapter Ninety-Two: Perseverance and Perseverance

Not to mention the touching that Belin almost cried bitterly.

After Zhu Qizhen asked Bei Lin to leave, he looked at the twists and turns in front of him and didn't write for a long time.

He was thinking about one thing, what was the matter with the fact that the astronomical family was not allowed to take the imperial examination?

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen had never paid attention to this before.

Because in general, the scope of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was expanded, and even military disciples could participate, so why couldn't the astronomical families who served the imperial court.

Moreover, any great astronomer in ancient times, in general, was also a scholar. For example, Liu Ji and Liu Bowen are like this.

If it is only to protect astronomical knowledge from leaking, this restriction is a little too harsh. No relocation is allowed, and no imperial examinations are allowed.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but think a little deeper.

Perhaps it is the exclusion of liberal arts students from science students, and the squeezing of technocrats by administrative bureaucrats.

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen didn't think that a person who had attainments in astronomy and mathematics would not be able to play well in the affairs of the imperial court, at least with their mathematical ability, it would be no problem to go to the household department to sort out the accounts.

Compared to the problems of astronomy, the accounts of the household department are really not a level of difficulty.

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "Maybe I'm thinking too much." But always give it a try. ”

Zhu Qizhen let people pass Hu Hu over.

Because the person in charge of the imperial examination is the Ministry of Rites. And the Ministry of Rites is not only in charge of etiquette, in the words of later generations, it is actually ideological.

And many things in astronomy are closely related to ideology in Confucian interpretations.

Mr. Zhu Qizhen and Hu Hu wanted to blow the wind.

Zhu Qizhen first told Hu Hu about what he wanted to repair. Since the emperor has already expressed his position, Hu Hu will naturally not stop him, and said: "And today's peace is the time to repair the calendar, Your Majesty's will, the goodness of the good, after the old minister goes back, he will recruit outstanding people in the world's astronomical calendar." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Mr. knows something, I have already asked Yang Shoufu, the imperial court prohibits the practice of the calendar, and the talents of the calendar in the world are all in the imperial court, but it is difficult to use." ”

"You know the joke I made earlier, sir."

"I don't want a second time."

Hu Hu said: "In this way, the minister thinks that the number of astronomy students in the country will be increased. ”

Zhu Qizhen listened and said, "Does Guozijian teach this?" ”

Hu Hu said: "Your Majesty said that there is, there is a precedent for this matter, at the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu felt that Qintianjian did not have enough manpower, so he ordered some students of Guozijian to study the calendar and go to Qintianjian to listen to it. This is an astronomy student, but it is not used later, unless a student who studies astronomy privately, it is not classified as an astronomy student. ”

Hu Hui is obviously a Spring and Autumn penmanship, omitting the words of the cane to blame a hundred.

Zhu Qizhen's heart moved, and he said secretly: "Perhaps, in the name of this, astronomy education can be included in the national prison." "Guozijian is still different from the Water Conservancy School.

After all, although the water conservancy school was built by him, it cultivates water control talents. But no matter from outsiders' point of view, or Zhu Qizhen himself thinks that he is inferior to Guozijian.

After all, Guozijian is the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty, and even in the early Ming Dynasty, that is, now, even if the imperial examination is becoming more and more prosperous, there are still many officials who are born in Guozijian and prison.

Of course, the situation of Guozijian is getting worse and worse.

However, no one can deny the qualifications of the Guozi Prison Supervisor as an official, but the gap between the regulations and the reality is getting wider and wider.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Even so, I'm afraid I won't be able to recruit people with lofty ideals. Sir probably also knows that there are only some corpse food veterans in the Qin Heavenly Prison. Who is willing to go to the Qin Heavenly Prison by himself, not to mention, but also to include future generations in the Qin Heavenly Prison. ”

Hu Hui said: "What does Your Majesty mean? ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I want to abolish the two rules that the children of the Qin Tianjian are not allowed to take the imperial examination, and the officials of the Qin Tianjian are not allowed to serve outside. ”

Hu Hui said: "Your Majesty, this is the ancestral system. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "The imperial court ancestral system does not have a cabinet. Does it change with the times? ”

Hu Hu just mentioned it, and when he saw Zhu Qizhen say this, he didn't say it anymore, after all, when Hu Hu chased and killed Emperor Jianwen, he didn't talk much nonsense.

What kind of ancestral system, at least in the eyes of Hu Hu and Yang Shiqi, is not a golden rule. He just said this, but it was just an attitude, that is, I persuaded him, but the emperor didn't listen.

Hu Hui thought for a while and said: "In this way, the science of astronomy will spread outside, and the ministers are afraid that it will be unfavorable to the imperial court. "Hu Hui's words are much more sincere than just talking about the ancestral system." The White Lotus Sect has revived, I don't know when it will resurge? In the forbidden practice of astronomy, the imperial court should still be cautious. ”

Hu Hu knew very well that as soon as these two items were abolished, the ban on astronomy in the imperial court would become a dead letter.

Zhu Qizhen said: "The Mandate of Heaven is in this dynasty, what can I do, but now about the White Lotus Sect, even if I can't help but learn astronomy, won't they rebel?" ”

"Foolish men and foolish women are named after gods and Buddhas, why are they named after celestial phenomena, and what is the difference?"

"And what the ban of the imperial court looks like, don't you know, sir? So why did I say that if there is a shortage of manpower, Mr. will be recruited from the people? ”

"Since astronomy is forbidden, where do these people come from?"

When Zhu Qizhen said this, Hu Hu was a little embarrassed for a while.

After Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty generally developed more and more relaxed, and after Renzong, it was even more so.

The prohibition of astronomy may be a real ban in the Taizu Dynasty

, but now, the people are no longer lifted, and the officials are not prosecuted. Of course, if you want to make a big noise about astronomy and have to hit the muzzle of the gun, there is no way to do it.

Hu Hu and Yang Shiqi are very aware of this situation, which is why they want to recruit people who have expertise in the astronomical calendar from the people.

Because, they know that there are these people.

Zhu Qizhen even felt that this kind of non-summoning of the people may not be caused by this embarrassing situation of half-black and white.

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "The affairs of the world, it is better to be sparse than to block, rather than becoming a dead letter, it is better to change this ban." But there is one thing that is very important, that is, the people who are proficient in the astronomical calendar in the world should be in the imperial court, not in the people, and this point must not be confused. ”

"This is the reason why I must relax the ban on Qin Tianjian. It is to recruit talents with special skills in the astronomical calendar. ”

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "Then try to let him have an impact, the state of Confucian dominance." ”

Zhu Qizhen has already planned a route to enter the office, that is, to be an astronomical student in Guozijian, and then enter Qintianjian, if the development of Qintianjian is smooth, he can be transferred out of Qintianjian from the position of Qintianjian. Become a local or central official.

It's not a big road, it's just a small road at best. But Zhu Qizhen has always believed in the Chinese, if there is a way to become an official, then no matter what road it is, there must be very, very many people.

And astronomy and mathematics will naturally be carried forward as one of the stepping stones.

Anyway, Zhu Qizhen adheres to the spirit of unremittingly digging corners of the imperial examination system, and the water conservancy school is a one, and so are astronomical students. Zhu Qizhen believed that it was still early for him to spring and autumn, and one day, he would change the official structure above the Ming court.

But it is the time to really start and reform the imperial examination system.

Now it's just foreshadowing.

Hu Hui said: "Shengming is not Your Majesty, just this one thing, the minister thinks that when the cabinet will discuss, after all, this matter involves the ministry, Qin Tianjian, and Guozijian, and you can't be in a hurry." ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't know if Hu Hu saw the clue or deliberately shirked, he thought about it and felt that his attitude should not have been shown, although Hu Hu was cunning, it should be impossible to guess.

In this way, you can't show too much enthusiasm, Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly, and said: "What Mr. said is very true, I will go to the cabinet to discuss, and when the time comes, I will come up with a question book, and let me see it." By the way, there is also the construction of observatories in various places to measure, and the gentleman has also brought it to the cabinet to explain his intentions to the cabinet gentlemen. ”

"I don't want a second time about the first day of this year." Zhu Qizhen's voice was extremely serious, and it seemed that he really seemed to be a young king who had hurt his face by the solar eclipse, and as for other ideas, he didn't have any other ideas.
