In the main hall, Emperor Hongzhi stood up from the throne, but his eyes did not leave Yan Chengjin.

"Not to mention, the imperial examination is a reform of the system, how can you let the inmates of the Guozijian participate in the imperial examination fairly?"

The prisoners of the Guozi Prison have been studying in the prison for a long time.

The prison students are divided into four classes, and the freshmen who have just entered the Guozijian will study the "Four Books", and if they pass the assessment, they will enter the Justice Hall, Chongzhi Hall, and Guangye Hall to study.

After one and a half years of study, the superior inmates can enter the monastery hall and the sincerity hall to study.

In another year and a half, outstanding inmates will be able to enter the highest class of spontaneous study.

The university system in later generations has a great relationship with the Guozijian to accumulate eight points within a year before graduating.

Therefore, the students of Guozi are too busy to take care of other studies, and there are also people who cannot graduate in their forties, let alone contact with mental studies.

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly, and said: "Therefore, the minister said that the strategy question is not difficult, and if you spend a month learning the mind, it is enough to answer the strategy." ”

The truth of mind is very simple, and the questions he comes up with are also very simple.

For the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination is good governance.

It allows Qiu Jun and Li Dongyang, who are struggling at the bottom, to break through the class and participate in the governance of the world.

However, there are also imperfections in Bagu, the knowledge done is too simple, and it needs to be answered from Zhu Chengli's point of view.

Except for arguing with the teachings of the saints, civil officials rarely dabbled in the rest.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were meaningful: "You are unprepared, so you dare to come to admonish?" What's in the cuffs, take it out. ”

Grip~, Your Majesty is familiar with the road, it seems that the future sparse music can not be put in the cuffs.

Yan Chengjin took out the sparse music: "It is the policy of Confucianism, if His Majesty is not allowed to learn from the heart, the minister will come up with the policy of Confucianism." ”

Emperor Hongzhi grimaced and snorted lightly: "You moved to the mansion for the sake of admonishing the heart?!" ”

"Yes."

Yan Chengjin was afraid that he would join Xinxue in the imperial examination, and he would be retaliated against and boycotted by scholars, so it would be safer to move to the mansion.

Wang Shouren's psychology has a great impact on the governance of the Ming Dynasty, such as breaking the mountain and breaking the heart of the thief.

This simple truth has found the root cause of the repeated suppression of the Ming bandits.

Militarily, he bowed his head and worshiped Yangming all his life, and Wang Shouren won many battles.

This is the application of the study of the mind in governing the world.

It can be used in educating the people and leading soldiers in the frontiers, and it is a practical knowledge.

"You are bold and dare to advise me to rectify the imperial examination."

In Emperor Hongzhi's voice, there was a faint suppression of anger.

Yan Chengjin was frightened.

The reform of the imperial examination system was bolder, but fortunately, it was summoned by His Majesty alone.

I wanted to wait for the topic to be sealed before submitting it to His Majesty.

But I didn't expect that the scholars in the capital would run back to their hometowns to participate in the imperial examination, which was the same as going to Xinjiang for high roasting in later generations.

Emperor Hongzhi saw that this guy lowered his head, but he was afraid that he would not dare to admonish him in the future, and his face softened slightly.

"Do you know how much shock it will be to include the study of the mind in the imperial examination? That is equivalent to the imperial court's recognition of the study of the mind, which is also orthodox! ”

The third layer was seen through by His Majesty.

But Yan Chengjin still had to pretend to be confused: "The minister is not thoughtful. ”

Emperor Hongzhi had only heard the word Xinxue, but in fact he had not heard of Xinxue.

"You go out, this matter should not be mentioned in the court."

After Yan Chengjin answered, he bowed slightly and withdrew from the hall.

If the study of mind is included in the imperial examination, the implementation will become a matter of course.

Emperor Hongzhi ordered him to ban speech, but also for the peace of the court, this matter was against the ministers of the court, and the ministers of the court were already disgusted with the study of the mind, and then set up it as an examination question for the imperial examination......

I am afraid that the only people who really support the study of the heart are the group of scholars in Liangxiang.

Li Dongyang and several people were waiting outside the hall.

Seeing Yan Chengjin come out, they all gathered around: "What did Your Majesty say to you?" ”

"What do you come up with?"

"Your Majesty is not allowed to mention it again." Yan Chengjin responded.

The ministers had grim faces, and if they wanted to become officials, they must go through the imperial examination, which is a major event for scholars in the world and a family event.

Xiong Qian looked at him with a straight face, and said indifferently: "If Lord Yan has no title to come up with, he can resign from this position to His Majesty, why bother to take the question from outside Confucianism." ”

The imperial examination has lasted for nearly a hundred years, and the questions must be taken from the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the total of the four books is only 170,000 words.

Even if a sentence is a topic, it has been finished in the past hundred years.

Asking questions becomes a huge headache for the examiner.

Liu Jian and the three of them have not left yet, waiting for Emperor Hongzhi to summon them.

But the door of the temple had been closed, and His Majesty did not seem to have any intention of summoning them.

Yan Chengjin pondered as he walked back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Ming Dynasty's psychology was roughly divided into eight schools, the Taizhou School, the Jiangyou School, the Eastern Zhejiang School, and the Northern Wangmen School......

Even Xu Jie is also a protégé of psychology, but only Wang Shouren really uses psychology.

For the use of the imperial court, it is not large.

It is naturally good if His Majesty implements the study of the heart, and it is also a good thing if he takes off his chief examiner's hat in anger.

Whether it succeeds or not, it is all the calculation of the official.

In the main hall, after Emperor Hongzhi sat for a while, he looked at Xiao Jing: "Wang Shouren is lecturing on the heart in Liangxiang?" ”

Xiao Jing nodded: "Yes, he has to talk about the mind for an hour every day, and it seems to have become a rule." ”

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, but he didn't pay attention to the relationship between Song Jing and Xie Pi and others.

got up and went to the side hall to change his clothes.

Xiao Jing knew what to do next, and hurriedly ordered people to prepare the carriage.

Half an hour later, Emperor Hongzhi appeared in the Liangxiang Library.

The scholars sat cross-legged, and in order to accommodate more people, there were no tables and chairs, and the scholars sat on the ground.

Wang Shouren saw Emperor Hongzhi, how could Your Majesty come to listen to his lecture on psychology today?

"Wang Shouren has seen Zhu Ye."

"You don't have to be polite, just keep talking." Emperor Hongzhi nodded, his face calm as usual.

Wang Shouren returned to the stage again and continued to lecture: "Knowledge is the idea of action, action is the kung fu of knowledge, knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge......

Emperor Hongzhi listened half-understood.

Whether or not to establish Xinxue as the orthodoxy of the imperial court, you can't listen to Yan Chengjin alone.

Suddenly, a question came to his mind, but he couldn't answer it for a long time.

The next day, when it was almost time to go down, he ordered someone to summon the cabinet and the six ministries.

"Why does the imperial court use the Four Books and Five Classics to take scholars?"

Li Dongyang and the others were stunned.

Liu Jian thought about it carefully, and then said: "Since the Tang Dynasty, the Confucian scriptures have been used as the theme, although the Tang Dynasty is to test the Nine Classics, but in general it is still the Five Classics, why does Your Majesty ask this?" ”

The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty had a wider range of examinations and was the Nine Classics.

"Do you know where Yan Chengjin came from?"

Li Dongyang was engrossed, this son must have told His Majesty?

Zhang Sheng and the others listened wholeheartedly.

I can feel that something is wrong with Your Majesty today, and I heard that I went to Liangxiang on a small note.

When everyone listened, Emperor Hongzhi fell into contemplation and did not speak for a long time.

"Your Majesty, where did this son come from?"

"Wang Shouren's Mind."

Xinxue has just come out for a few years, and Confucianism has been passed down for more than a thousand years.

Yan Chengjin, this guy, came up with knowledge and learned by heart!
