Chapter 572: Reform of the Imperial Examination System
Wang Shouren firmly believes that the study of mind can govern many malpractices in the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that the imperial court needs to give the opportunity to display his ambitions, and the mind is recognized, so that he can become a saint.
"Brother Gao tried his best to advise him to incorporate the study of the mind into the autumn season, how could he make the hard work of the old brother go to waste?" Wang Shouren gritted his teeth secretly.
Emperor Hongzhi fell into deep thought and asked, "The truth of the heart can govern the world?" β
Wang Shouren said unhurriedly: "Back to Your Majesty, you can govern the world."
Now the situation in Yansui and Liaodong is critical, and the imperial court is in urgent need of generals.
Knowing and then having a fixed mind, cultivating the mind can abandon distracting thoughts, achieve a sincere mentality, and cultivate the state of righteousness and sincerity, which is the wonderful use of mind in self-cultivation.
Hone in things, constantly reflect on yourself, like the spring water in the mountains, when you meet the circle, you will be round, when you meet the square, when you do it, when you stop, this is the wonderful use of mind in doing things.
The Mandate of Heaven is sexuality, and the Tao is the Tao, and everyone has a conscience, which is the wonderful use of educating all people.
The unity of knowledge and action can be used in all things, know the truth, and preach the Tao by doing, according to the minister's knowledge, Song Jing and Xie Pi are all doing this way. β
Emperor Hongji savored his words.
Qin Shi Huang discarded the teachings of the sages and established a set of statecraft on his own.
Therefore, Qin Shi Huang was hostile to the saint and did not want to see him.
But the emperors after Qin, without the talent of Qin Shi Huang, could only rely on the principles of the saints to govern the world and treat the saints preferentially.
As long as the teachings of the saints do not rebel against the rules of the dynasty and educate the people to rebel, they can try it.
Emperor Hongzhi knew that this decision was a little bolder, but he hesitated all night, compared to King Qin and Han Wu, what was it.
Xiong Wei had a cold face and said, "The truth you said has not been verified, how can you let the scholars practice?" β
"No, there is verification, the subordinate officials have won many victories, and it is precisely the use of mental learning in the march, and what Song Jing and Xie Pi practiced is also mental learning.
Master Xiong has never practiced the study of the mind, so how do you know that this is not a verification of the study of the mind? Wang Shouren asked rhetorically.
Li Dongyang pondered for a moment and applied his mind to the autumn season.
His concern was: "Many scholars have not studied the study of the mind, so how can they answer it as an exam question? β
Liu Jian and Zhang Sheng looked at Li Dongyang in surprise.
Listening to Li Gong's meaning, as long as he can answer it, he will take the heart as the meaning of the exam question, and he is a little apprehensive in his heart.
What they didn't know was that Li Dongyang asked these words after thinking about it carefully.
His Majesty is bent on realizing the prosperity of the world, and today he summoned the cabinet and the six ministries, and he must have the intention of implementing it.
On the other hand, Song Jing and Xie Pi and others have made many great contributions to the imperial court, if they benefit from the truth of Xinxue.
Then, His Majesty will be tempted to try to implement the study of the mind, and he will only guess His Majesty's intentions.
Yan Chengjin thought for a while and said: "Nowadays, Qiuqiu's strategy can only be made with bias and oddity, which is more difficult for scholars. β
The imperial examination was held in the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, and the four books and five classics were only more than 200,000 words, and the questions were all published once.
As a result, there is a phenomenon of cutting and spelling.
It is to cut one sentence in half, piece it together with another sentence, and turn it into a stitching monster.
If such an imperial examination continues, what will be the outcome, history has long proven.
Later generations felt that the imperial examination was good governance, but criticized Baguwen.
As a traverser, if you don't make some changes, won't you cross in vain?
Zhang Sheng sighed lightly, from the four books and five classics, there is indeed an endless day.
Liu Jian and Xie Qian looked at Emperor Hongzhi.
Only then did he guess the holy will, and His Majesty was afraid that he really had a thought.
So, the two stood aside and bowed their heads.
Yan Chengjin also guessed Emperor Hongzhi's intentions.
What really moved His Majesty was not Xinxue, but the contributions made by Song Jing and Wang Ji and others.
Whether it is Confucianism or Xinxue, it is only a means to govern the world.
Your Majesty is not learning Confucianism, nor is it the study of the heart, but the way to control the emperors of the world.
The Emperor Ming ancestral training left by Emperor Gao, and the Zhenguan dignitaries of Emperor Tang are all the way of the emperor.
Therefore, there is no reverence for Confucianism at all.
It is different from the hundred officials who were born in Confucianism.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin, and had a deep meaning: "The ceremony of picking talents is the top priority of the imperial court, and I can't easily adjudicate it." β
"There are two rounds of autumn and spring, and the study of mind is only in the autumn of Beizhili.
Chunfu still comes out of the Four Books and Five Classics.
Ten years later, if it is useless and the decree is abolished, what does Your Majesty think? β
The autumn season is the one that each province makes its own questions, and the spring season is the national examination.
Most of the scholars in the capital are in Liangxiang and have listened to the study of the heart.
Moreover, as the first exam, Yan Chengjin did not intend to make the questions too difficult.
Compared with the Four Books and Five Classics, the study of mind is much simpler.
"The prisoner of the country?"
"The prisoners can go to Liangxiang to listen to the study together, and Wang Shouren has many lecture notes that can be studied and practiced." Yan Chengjin Road.
Not everyone can get a perfect score in the exam.
Otherwise, the role of screening talents will be lost.
He came up with only two questions, and the proportion of Qiuqiu was not high.
Xiong Wei looked at Emperor Hongzhi and was speechless.
His Majesty's words have come to this, and the third prince is silent, for fear that he has guessed the holy will.
Zhang Sheng pondered for a moment: "If it is only tried in Beizhili, it doesn't matter, if you want to implement the world, I hope Your Majesty will think twice." β
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Rites, there are not many people in Beizhili who can be admitted to the imperial examination, and most of them are talented people in Jiangnan.
As long as you don't implement Nanzhili, it won't hurt.
"I have my own measure."
Return to the duty room of the Criminal Department.
Xiong took off his official hat and placed it on the left side of the bookcase.
Tu Xun saw that his face was abrupt and sad, so he asked, "Why is Brother Ru Ming sad?" β
"Brother Yuan Xun doesn't know, Your Majesty wants to take the study of mind as the test question of Beizhili Qiuyu."
Tu Xun was shocked: "Isn't that Wang Shouren's crooked reasoning?" Your Majesty...... Could it be Yan Chengjin again? β
Except for Yan Chengjin, a guy who lacks morality, no one in the DPRK can do this.
Xiong Qian shook his head: "It would be good if Yan Chengjin admonished him." β
This time, His Majesty was moved.
The imperial examination began in the Sui Dynasty, and after so many dynasties, Emperor Gao changed to Baguwen, which is the ancestral system.
Without His Majesty's permission, who dared to move the imperial examination lightly, and it was because of this that Fang did not continue to admonish in the court.
"Brother Ru Ming, shall I go to Your Majesty together?" Tu Xun looked at him.
Xiong Qian sighed lightly: "The holy decree will be issued soon, and it is useless to go, but Brother Yuan Xun can rest assured that it will only be tried in the autumn of Beizhili." β
As long as the trial effect is not good, it will not be implemented in the world.
Wang fu.
Wang Hua's teacup fell to the ground in surprise, and he hurriedly asked three times: "Mind study as a policy topic of Beizhili?" Brother Tu Xun, don't scare the foolish brother! β
Isn't the study of the mind just a fallacy that my son made up randomly?
Fallacious reasoning says that it will deceive the world.
Wang Hua took a deep breath, as a protΓ©gΓ© of a saint, he was deeply frightened.
This may seem simple, but it is extremely dangerous.
If the study of the mind is not good governance, it will be killed in the future.
My son must have been bewitched by Yan Chengjin, except for Yan Chengjin's change in the DPRK and China, who else will risk the world's disapproval?
Tu Xun snorted lightly: "The Di newspaper has been spread to Liangxiang, and there can still be a fake." β
Outside the capital, the overwhelming mansion newspaper came out.
The readers in Liangxiang were dumbfounded, and they couldn't imagine that the question to be tested was, mind learning?
