Chapter 60: Political Understanding
Approaching the end of the year, Zhu Yunwen is not very good to continue to hold on to his illness, and the recitals of greetings from two capitals and thirteen provinces are almost piled up in the cabinet, and the cabinet can only run to the harem all day long.
Shuangxi blocked it a few times, but then it really couldn't be stopped, and if it was stopped, the government and the opposition should have rumored whether Zhu Yunwen had died, there was no way, Zhu Yunwen could only show up in person to meet Sange in the Qianqing Palace.
"The ministers knock on my emperor's holy bow."
After paying homage, Fang Xiaoru got up and glanced at Zhu Yunwen cautiously, "Your Majesty's dragon body is better?" β
As soon as these things raised their buttocks, what kind of shit did Zhu Yunwen had a clear heart, and when he heard the words, he held his forehead and pretended to be tired, "Zhen'an, it's just that I had a high fever a few days ago, and the war in the southwest is about to fight. β
The three pavilions looked at each other, and their hearts were a little trembling, and they mentioned tentatively, "Your Majesty wants to start a new school, and the government and the opposition are all looking forward to it, in order to become a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven. β
"Start a new school?"
Zhu Yunwen was a little confused, "What kind of new school do I have?" β
Shuangxi, who was waiting on the side, came over, "Your Majesty said in the Cultural Hall that the land annexation of the past dynasties was serious, and His Majesty was very worried, so he wanted to set up a new school to teach the knowledge of curbing land annexation. β
Zhu Yunwen smiled, "Nonsense, there are virtuous ministers and good ministers in the court, local officials are dedicated to the public, and the world is under great rule, where is the turn to get this half bottle of ink to teach which knowledge." β
The emperor's kung fu to change his face is really fast.
But regardless of whether it is true or not, it is better for the emperor to regret it than to go all the way to the black, Sange is relieved, and he can also talk about business in a down-to-earth manner.
"Your Majesty has been cultivating the dragon body during this time, and he can't come to the court, but fortunately, thanks to the blessing of Taizu, there is nothing major happening in the country."
Yu Xinda took out a notebook in his arms and handed it to Shuangxi, "It's the New Year soon, the preparations for the provincial and township examinations have begun, and the officials of Gengchenke's examination questions should also think about it quickly, and I want to ask Your Majesty if there are any instructions." β
The so-called imperial examination, in general form, is not much different from the civil service examination of later generations, the township examination is similar to the public examination of the provinces, the examination questions are Baguwen, just like the administrative vocational ability test of later generations, and the proposed questions of the examination are biased towards some problems that the country is currently facing.
It can be political, it can be military, it can be civil, it is like the argument of later generations.
As for the palace examination, it is an interview, but the specifications of the interview are relatively high, either the emperor interviews in person, or the official secretary interviews on his behalf, but no matter which one it is, it is considered a top specification.
Zhu Yunwen took it and glanced at it hastily, "My current state is still a little poor, so I don't need to think about it, the questions that will be examined, the cabinet and the ministry will draft their own questions." β
This is the good emperor we love.
What kind of emperor does the scholar group love the most, that is, Zhu Yunwen, he doesn't want the right to select materials for the imperial examination, he will boycott the dynasty at every turn, and he will not approve the book at every turn, and he will directly print and issue it, and it is best to send the jade seal to the Wenhua Palace.
"Is there anything else?"
Zhu Yunwen raised his eyelids and yawned.
Fang Xiaoru hesitated, and said stubbornly, "It's not that there is anything wrong with the ministers, it's that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother passed on a message a few days ago." β
Zhu Yunwen suddenly frowned.
One of his own mother, one of his wife, and two women bypassed themselves and directly sent an oracle to the cabinet, are they going crazy?
The inner palace has always been one of the sources of national chaos.
was unhappy, and Zhu Yunwen's face became ugly, "Really?" During this period of time, I neglected state affairs, and I don't know what the cabinet has agreed with the queen mother. β
The emperor is going to be in a frenzy.
Fang Xiaoru was so frightened that he hurriedly replied, "The main reason is that the Queen Mother and the Empress saw that Your Majesty's heirs were not prosperous, so they passed on the message, and asked the ministers of the six departments of the Cabinet, the Wu Xun of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the political envoys of the thirteen provinces to select a group of beautiful girls to send to Beijing, thinking that Your Majesty would send down grace and pick out some to enrich the inner court." β
Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief.
After making trouble for a long time, the relationship is to pick a woman for yourself, so it's not a big deal.
When mothers and wives are in a hurry to choose a woman for themselves, why haven't this fine historical custom been inherited by future generations?
In fact, Zhu Yunwen has never taken the initiative to covet the affairs of the emperor's three palaces and six courts, including more than a year after he ascended the throne, except for Ma Enhui, Zhu Yunwen has not even touched a beautiful palace maid, and Zhu Yunwen has only seen the two beautiful girls in the Western Regions sent by Zhu Yunwen, and he is still talking about the art troupe.
Beauty is a thing, Zhu Yunwen doesn't want it and doesn't attach too much importance to it, but he won't resist, Ma Enhui said it several times, but he didn't pay attention to it, but he didn't expect the latter to find the Queen Mother directly, and the two of them jointly sent an edict to the cabinet.
"Your Majesty is in the age of youth and vigor, and the heirs in the palace are not prosperous, and it is inevitable that rumors will spread in the government and the opposition."
"The vassal kings of the world are also watching, only when Your Majesty has a melon here, can the world settle down." β
Having children is related to the stability of the country, and this strange relationship can only appear in the ancient world, and it is indeed the top priority.
To put it mildly, if the prince Zhu Wenkui dies early one day, who will this country pass on? Is it a few younger brothers of his own branch, or is he a wise clan brother from the Zongren Mansion?
This involves the tilt of the political system and the issue of investment and betting, and if it is not handled well, it will be a division of the world in an instant.
"Yes, I see." Like the imperial examination, Zhu Yunwen was too lazy to worry about it, "The cabinet and the Ministry of Rites will agree, and when the show girl enters the palace, the Zongren Mansion and the Imperial Front Division will come to check it." β
After the three pavilions received the order, Zhu Yunwen asked, "Is there anything else wrong with the three pavilion elders?" β
Seeing the three of them shaking their heads, Zhu Yunwen got up, "Then retreat." β
"Congratulations to Your Majesty."
Shuangxi followed behind Zhu Yunwen and walked all the way in the direction of Kunning Palace, "Your Majesty, this imperial examination is just left to the cabinet?" β
The world's selection of materials, the top three jinshi, this is the main way to cultivate political power, and the emperor just gave up?
Zhu Yunwen smiled disdainfully, "Baguwen can't select the talents I want." β
The scholars from traditional Confucianism are not without great talents, the three pavilions are from the imperial examination, Xie Jin, Sanyang, Yu Qian, and Zhang Juzheng are all from the imperial examination, but the traditional Confucianism will inevitably always be a hardcore supporter of Confucianism.
Yang Shiqi has quietly walked very close to Zhu Di these days, Yang Shiqi who came out of the cold door is a hardcore loyal monarch, maybe he dares to stand on Zhu Yunwen's side to fight against the family gatekeeper, maybe he dares to implement the national policy of the official gentry paying food together, but does he dare to go to Shandong and bring down the mountain?
He didn't dare!
No traditional Confucian scholar in the world dares, this is no longer a deviance, this is a deception to destroy the ancestors and dig their own ancestral graves.
The status of the holy master Confucius in Zhu Yunwen's heart is extremely high, Confucianism is also the most important piece of the puzzle of Chinese national civilization, and the six arts of the gentleman are also a very comprehensive teaching to cultivate talents, but the shadow of the ancestors does not mean that the children and grandchildren of the future generations can wantonly trample on the feelings of the nation!
Whether it is Liaojin, Mongolia, Tatar, which foreign race entered the customs, which one was the first to be traitors, the Han people recovered, and the court needed scholars to govern the country, which time did not endure it, and the honor of the title of Duke Yan can still be enjoyed.
In this world, how can there be such a reason!
"How's the new school doing?"
Shuangxi lowered his head, "I chose a site in Tanglin, and Jinyiwei sent more than 100 people during this time, all of whom were seedlings picked from all over the country. β
Maybe no one would believe that the learning point that Zhu Yunwen chose for the new seedlings would actually build a mausoleum on the east side of Taizu's mausoleum!
"During these days, the Hu Guangbu Political Envoy Department handed over another notebook."
Zhu Yunwen's tone was unpredictable, "For those things that the West Factory does, try to sit down the evidence first in the future, otherwise, it will be difficult for the provinces to suppress it in the future." β
The cabinet doesn't say it now, but because there are only a few landlords and wealthy businessmen, there is no need to hate Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, for this, besides, those few wealthy businessmen who have suffered have not offended Sun Shuangxi before.
The emperor helped to vent his anger, just a hundred and ten cheap lives, what a big deal, the emperor is easy to recover from his illness, it's better not to be stimulated, and he will talk about it when he has an opportunity in the future.
As a courtier, you must know how to find a political tacit understanding with the emperor.
