Chapter 771: I Must Teach My Bad Brother Fulin
Fulin's younger brother is the little emperor of Shunzhi.
Jin Dongzhu has maintained a close correspondence with Shunzhi for the past two years - this is of course what Zhu Cihong meant!
Kim Dong-joo, also known as Donggu Gege, is now Shunzhi's nominal sister, and to some extent determines the study of Emperor Shunzhi.
So Shunzhi also had to communicate patiently with this Xueba sister, and often hinted in the letter that Jin Dongzhu should not send any more French textbooks to Beijing, French is really difficult to learn!
Moreover, Nalan Mingzhu, Suo Etu, and Gao Sai are much better than Shunzhi's French, and every time Aunt Bumu Butai sees the exam papers of the four people, she inevitably reprimands Shunzhi.
Shunzhi also often boasted to Dongzhu in his letters about how good his arithmetic performance was, and he could add, subtract, multiply and divide! This Shunzhi may be biased, good arithmetic, so-so language, and French is terrible.
However, in the letter that Dongzhu just received, Shunzhi did not complain that French was too difficult, because Shunzhi was preparing for a big wedding, so he did not attend classes during this time.
Emperor Amadorgon and Empress Dowager Bumu Butai chose a beautiful Mongolian cousin named Meng Guqing, the daughter of Bumu Butai's brother Wu Keshan, but Shunzhi didn't seem to like this woman very much.
In addition, Shunzhi also told Dong Gu that he was already a father! His concubine Bishhe bore him a son, named Niu Niu, but Niu Niu's health was not good and he always got sick......
In the end, Shunzhi also urged Dong Gu to hurry up and pass the door in the letter, and strive to give Zhu Cihong a son as soon as possible!
Now Emperor Zhu doesn't have a son-in-law, so Donggu's son still has a chance!
After reading the letter written by Fu Lin, Zhu Cihong glanced at Dongzhu (Dong Gu), whose face was a little hot, and smiled: "You are still young, and your body has not grown well, but it is not the time to be a mother." ”
"Oh......" the little girl's face turned red into an apple.
Zhu Cihong looked at her shyly answer, and felt a little impulsive to bite it, but he still held back.
He took Dong Gege to his side, not for the convenience of his mouth, but for the convenience of bringing Shunzhi badly!
Zhu knew that Dolgon had a serious illness last year, and he was sick from August to November. But it's not much better, and it's still being raised in Beijing these days, and it doesn't look like it will be too long.
And as soon as Dorgon died, the Qing Dynasty immediately changed the sky!
If Shunzhi can regain power in this heavenly upheaval, then the turning point of the weakening of the Qing Dynasty is coming.
Therefore, Zhu Cihong has been influencing the Shunzhi Emperor in Beijing through Donggu Gege these days, striving to bring him to the road of reducing the power of the feudal domain
Centralization sometimes strengthens the state, and sometimes it weakens the state, depending on the situation.
And in this case, first of all, it depends on whether the centralized monarch is clear enough! If you meet a Ming monarch like Zhu Cihong, of course it would be good to centralize power. But Shunzhi can't do it!
Second, it depends on whether the non-centralized feudal or collegial form of government is functioning well. The fact that this system is working well shows that this system meets the needs of development and progress, and rash reform will inevitably backfire. And the system of "strong regency and nine banners" that Dolgon built for the Qing Dynasty has worked well so far. Although power was not concentrated in the hands of Dolgon, it also avoided the internal fire of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. There are few people in the Eight Banners, and if there is a fire, the elite soldiers will die a lot.
Even if there is no fire like the "Tianjing Incident", after Shunzhi seizes power, he will definitely clean up the three flags of Liangbai, Zhenglan and Qing, and will also control the subordinates outside the Guanwai controlled by Duoduo - Gushan outside the Nine Banners Guanguan has become a system of its own, and can even be regarded as an independent flag. Dolgon relied on the two flags of Zhengbai and inlaid green controlled by himself, Zhenglan controlled by Duoduo and Gushan of the Nine Banners outside the Guan, and the inlaid white flag controlled by Azig, which could well maintain the Great Qing State under the collegial system.
And as soon as Dorgon died, the only one who could succeed Shunzhi as the "new Amma" was Duoduo. If Duoduo becomes Shunzhi's new Amma, then Zhu Cihong's Northern Expedition will not be easy to fight!
In addition to encouraging Shunzhi to reduce the centralization of power in the feudal domain, Zhu Cihong also wanted to let Shunzhi pick up the imperial examination system through Dongguo.
"Dongzhu, did you say last time that Fu Lin wants to know how to take the Taixue exam here?"
Kim Dong-joo was stunned, I said? Nope! How could Brother Fu Lin ask this question? He hates exams the most......
Zhu Cihong smiled, "Dongzhu, I have already asked Bijiucheng to sort out a set of our Daming's Taixue exam methods, you can copy it again and send it to Fulin." Our Daming Dynasty has been thriving in the past two years, isn't it relying on this set of methods for selecting materials for the imperial examination? ”
In fact, the Taixue exam and the official exam of the Ming Dynasty are two different things at all, and passing the Taixue exam does not mean that you can become an official, and the difficulty of the official exam is much lower than that of the Taixue exam. If you are simply to mix a nine-grade sesame official, it is the best choice to take the official examination of the local provincial, government (state) or imperial court.
Of course, in the future, the officialdom future of officials with Taixue, Jingxue, Jiangwutang and Shuishi Academy (they have to take the official examination if they want to become a Ming civil official) is much better than that of officials without these four diplomas - Jingxue, Jiangwutang and Shuishi Academy have all been running for several years, and some graduates have begun to enter the ranks one after another. However, Taixue has not officially opened yet, because the exams and teachers (university scholars) are still self-taught!
According to the plan, the first Taixue Entrance Examination and University Bachelor's Examination will be held next year, that is, in February of the fifth year of Daming Hongxing. In addition to the basic "Four Books and Five Classics", the content of the exam is "The Treatise on Gewu" and mathematics. In addition, students also have to take the six arts.
In fact, this Taixue was not established to train officials, but to train scholars, and of course it is not opposed to learning and excelling.
However, in the Daming imperial examination method sorted out by Bijiucheng, the Taixue examination is equated with the imperial examination, and the official examination is equated with the official examination.
That is, the Taixue examination is used to select talented scholars, let them study in Taixue for three years, and after passing the graduation examination, they can be assigned official positions.
The reason why Zhu Cihong wanted to sell this kind of "improved imperial examination" to Shunzhi was to promote the sinicization of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, centralization and sinicization are linked together,Because the essence of sinicization is Confucianization,And Confucianism has been transformed for one or two thousand years,It has become a school of learning (teaching) that maintains the monarchy from the world view、Values and outlook on life。
The regency and collegiate system implemented by Dolgon in the Qing Dynasty was actually developed from Manchurian tribal politics, and it was a Manchurian tradition, not a Confucian tradition.
If Shunzhi wants to change the "Emperor Amaga Nine Banners Collegiate" to the emperor's centralized power, then he has to go to Manchuria and carry out sinicization, while cleaning the six banners of old Manchuria (excluding the two yellow flags), reuse Han Confucian ministers.
As far as Zhu Cihong knows, in the Qing Dynasty, there are already many Han Confucian ministers who have entered the government through the channel of the green flag.
Dolgon is alive, of course, these people are all people in the Imperial Ama's entrainment, but once Dolgon dies, Duoduo, who has been in the Northeast Overseer for a long time, may not be able to successfully take over the plate with the green flag. If Shunzhi can now show the posture of "worshipping Confucianism and obeying Kong", then the green banner will fall to Shunzhi after Dolgon's death...... With their support, plus the basic plate of the two yellow flags, Shunzhi will be able to fight with Duoduo!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong said to Dongzhu again: "Dongzhu, I asked Qian Qianyi and them to compile a "Later Chapter of Senior Administration", which summarizes the gains and losses of the Song, Yuan and Ben dynasties over the past 200 years, which is worth a look, and you can also recommend it to Fulin." ”
Regardless of whether the content in the "Second Chapter of Senior Administration" compiled by the great Confucian Qian Qianyi is right or not, as long as Shunzhi pretends to take it and read it, it also shows that he attaches importance to Confucianism's position!
