The question of the southwest ruler?

In the vernacular, ask the imperial court how it governs, and to put it more bluntly, how is the emperor's policy of governing the country.

Can you say it's not good, dare to say it's not good!

Isn't that just changing the law to let the palace test the tributes boast about how wise and great the emperor is?

Soon, the tribute students who heard the news felt that this palace test was too simple.

In their opinion, what they need to do is to rack their brains to think about what the imperial court has done well in terms of the policy of governing the country this time.

Of course, this also made the tribute students who came to participate in the palace examination naturally divided into two factions.

Some people believe that the imperial court must have made such a policy problem, and it must have been the idea of Wei Zhongxian, a powerful eunuch, to let the hardcore eunuch Wei Guangwei serve as the chief examiner, and he must have been responsible for it.

This group of people is headed by Wen Zhengming's son, Wen Zhenmeng, a talented son of Donglin.

They were all born in scholarly families, and they have been the so-called prodigies among their peers since they were young, with excellent words, calligraphy, and paintings, and they are famous all over the world.

Others, from a political point of view, are seriously thinking about the gains and losses of the imperial court's southwest policy this time.

In terms of fame and background, they are not as good as those scholarly talents, but they all have unique opinions, and they are willing to serve the country, throwing their heads and spilling their blood.

Even, many of these people are ready to throw their pen to fight for the country at any time, they are headed by Lu Xiangsheng, and there is little estrangement between the noble and the military in their eyes, and the national interests are greater than the sky.

In addition to these two groups of people, there are no less than the so-called "villains" who are surviving in the cracks, and they are all excited when they hear the problem.

This kind of exam question is exactly what they need most.

Such a person, after hearing the question of the policy, the first thing he thinks about is not why the imperial court came out, but how to praise the imperial court's policy of governing the southwest to the fullest.

In other words, how to shoot the dragon ass of the current emperor...

For Zhu Youxiao, every type of person is indispensable in the imperial court, and their current controversy is the prototype of party struggle in the imperial court in the future.

As an emperor, the most important thing is balance.

There are only a few days left before the second year of the Heavenly Period, and the discussions of the tribute students from all over the country are imaginative, and they soon converge on the issue of "broad" scientific examinations in various places in the past.

Since the Ming generation, from the perspective of the number of Jinshi, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu are among the top three in the national overall list, and the fourth is Fujian, which is low-key to catch up.

By the end of Wanli, the number of Jinshi in Fujian even surpassed that of Jiangsu, ranking third.

There is an interesting theory that Jiangxi Province's unshakable top position in scientific research may have been inspired by Wang Yangming's encouragement and the theory of "unity of knowledge and action".

And Jiangsu, it may also be related to Wang Yangming, because it was the birthplace of Wang Yangming's career flash.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who has never had a wide ancestry?

Although the northerners were not convinced, they had to face a cruel truth: after the Tang Dynasty, the widest on the road to the imperial examination was always the southern provinces.

In the imperial examination, Jiangxi in the Song Dynasty was not weak, ranking second only to Fujian and Zhejiang, ranking in the top three.

In the first 100 years after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi quickly surpassed Fujian and Zhejiang provinces to become the most capable province in the country, and sat on the first throne for a long time.

Especially in Ji'an, the middle stream of the Ganjiang River, in the first 100 years, there were 426 Jinshi and 33 Weike people, do you dare to believe it?

This is nothing, what is even more shocking is that in the second year of Jianwen and the second year of Yongle, in the two consecutive imperial examinations, there were six first-class jinshi, and five were arranged by Ji'an.

Now the tribute students of the Ming Dynasty say the most sentence: the national imperial examination looks at Jiangxi, and the Jiangxi imperial examination looks at Ji'an.

This is not groundless, the people of Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, have always been more accomplished in the imperial examination.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, is it easy for you to be a lifter?

As far as this question is concerned, the question of the southwest Zhiyi, you just slapped the emperor's fart?

First of all, you have to shoot beautifully, not too explicitly.

If the praise in the test paper is too disgusting, it is likely to cause the opposite effect, and when the time comes, you will not be able to get it, and your life may be gone.

This is one of them, and the other main thing is that you have to have real talent and real learning.

For example, first boasting about the fact that the imperial court opened a social science in the southwest, and promulgated the policy of giving priority to those who have meritorious service to give lectures in the southwest for two years to fill vacancies.

Then the conversation changed gear, saying that there was a small flaw in this policy, and put forward a few constructive comments, and talked about his own views that can make people's eyes shine.

If you can do these things on the test paper, you won't run away if you get a gold list Jinshi.

But this can also make you on the gold list, if you are hand-picked as the top three such as champion, list eye, and tanhua, first of all, your personal ability must be really strong, at least the kung fu on paper, not weaker than Zhao Kuo.

Secondly, you have to be able to come and talk.

......

The tributes were arguing, and the court was not idle.

Zhu Youxiao only knew that this was his first palace examination after ascending the throne, regardless of whether he was lazy or not, whether he wanted to go or not, in order to show his attention to the palace examination, he had to agree to come down.

Of course, at first, Zhu Youxiao didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

On the day of the entrance examination, the emperor was going to sit motionless on the dragon chair, and Zhu Youxiao regretted it, and he regretted it a little at that time.

Later, when I asked with hope, it would take at least three hours for the palace test, and Zhu Youxiao would become a bitter gourd face!

Three hours is six hours in the Hereafter, a whole half a day!

At this time, I sat on the top and was a mascot, and I couldn't move, how could I get through this?

Looking at the ministers who were discussing hotly at the steps, Zhu Youxiao gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, isn't he just an invigilator, can he regret what the emperor said?

No matter how boring it is, you have to do it!

Because after Zhao Nanxing left office, there was a vacancy in the official department for a while, and this time he was accompanied by the chief examiner Wei Guangwei and a few others.

The theme of this court meeting is that Zhu Youxiao wants to make a big event.

As mentioned last time, there was a case of the North and South List in the Hongwu Dynasty, and since then, Zhu Yuanzhang has customized the imperial examination into the southern and northern volumes.

Later, the middle volume was added, and the country was divided into three regions: southern, northern, and central, and Jinshi were admitted respectively.

The number of admissions is also different, and the relatively strong southern provinces have more admissions.

Most of the north is on the border, and it needs to stabilize the frontier, so it occupies a large part of the remaining ones, and the remaining little bit is distributed to the "middlemen" who are not very strong and do not make any waves.

What Zhu Youxiao wanted to do this time was to roll up the system between the north and the south and the middle schools and further develop the admission system for the constituent provinces.

"I have been in the middle of the country for less than two years, and I occasionally feel that although this north-south middle volume can reconcile the talent composition of the north, south and central places, it cannot effectively recruit talents from various provinces."

"To put it simply, every time there is a palace examination, there will always be a large number of candidates who are really talented, either because of the remoteness of the road or because of the lack of places, year after year, they repeatedly fail the exam."

"I thought, this time the Renxu Branch Palace Exam will be issued according to the province, and each province is different, what do you think?"

After the words fell, Zhu Youxiao turned his head sideways and quietly looked at the bewildered ministers in the hall.
