The big examination of the imperial examination, mainly Confucianism and taking into account all subjects?!

Chu Tianxiu's eyes narrowed, looking at Prime Minister Kong Hanyou opposite.

He's not stupid.

The Confucian ambition of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" lasted for hundreds of years, not in a day or two.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Confucian scholars did not take much advantage.

The pre-Qin Dynasty was hit by a major blow of "book burning and Confucianism", and the Great Chu Dynasty was established for more than 70 years, and Huang Lao's art was in power.

Emperors did not fancy Confucianism, so much so that it was always a dream to respect Confucianism alone. But the disciples of Confucius respected Confucianism alone, and their dream of becoming a great official never died.

Nowadays, the private schools in the hundreds of counties and thousands of counties in Dachu are all Confucian students, and in terms of numbers alone, they are already unbeatable, and they can complete the great cause that has never been seen in the ages.

Kong Hanyou had already lost the debate, but he wanted to use this trick to delay the army, and wanted to delay it for another one or two decades, so that more Confucian officials in the court would appear.

Among the three princes and nine secretaries of the imperial court, none of the remaining eleven high-ranking officials were willing to stand up and support Confucianism.

Chu Tianxiu knew very well that as long as he pursued after the victory, and did not let go of the "all subjects in the imperial examination, Confucianism occupies one of them", then Kong Hanyou had no tricks at all.

He was about to speak, but at this time, Emperor Xiang Yanran, who was sitting in the main hall of Sima Palace, suddenly spoke.

"The debate between Kong Xiang and Xiao Duhou is clear to me.

Kong Xiang's proposal, this is a good idea. Respecting the monarch and loving the people is the mainstay, taking into account the prosperity of a hundred schools.

This first imperial examination, for the time being, is arranged like this, add a few more Confucian examination questions to the examination questions, and take a look at the effect!

What do you think? ”

Xiang Yanran groaned.

The controversy between the prime minister and the little dusk has already come to an end.

The Confucian examination alone only concerns a small group of officials, and it is most beneficial to maintain the Xiang family's royal family.

The examination of all subjects is related to the future of hundreds of thousands of scholars in the Great Chu Dynasty. It is also of great benefit to the Xiang family.

The emperor knows which is more important.

If you want to become an emperor through the ages, you must be able to do it in all subjects through the imperial examination.

However, he, the emperor, can't let Prime Minister Kong Hanyou be completely unable to step down in this polemic. Otherwise, the shameless Confucian leaders have no choice but to resign and step down.

Once Kong Xiang returns to the wilderness, Wang Su, the imperial historian, will succeed him as prime minister. The only high-ranking official of the Confucian sect lost power. In the entire court, the gate lords and noble officials once again covered the sky with one hand.

It was very unfavorable to the emperor to promote Gengzi's new policy, eradicate many evils in the world, and pacify the princes to conquer the Xiongnu in the north.

The knife of Kong Hanyou and the Confucian faction is still useful and useful, knocking on the ten major gates of Jinling and the nobles.

Let the gate lords and nobles know that without them, the emperor still has a lot of talents available.

Relying on Xiao Duhou alone, without the powerful knife of Confucianism, it is categorically impossible to shake the deep-rooted ten gate lords of Jinling and the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty.

This is the key to the balance of power in the Great Chu Dynasty.

Xiao Duhou can not care about the life and death of Confucianism.

But he, the Great Chu Emperor, can't help but consider this reality. Only by supporting the weak Confucianism can we resist the power of the gate valve.

"Yes!"

Chu Tianxiu knew that the emperor wanted to appease Kong Hanyou and give him a good face.

He was helpless, so he could only arch his hand and say: "In the imperial examination questions of the county examination and the national examination, Confucianism accounts for 30% of the total, and the rest of the doctrines account for the remaining 70%. What does the Prime Minister think? ”

"Yes!"

Kong Hanyou immediately surrendered.

He didn't fight for more than one or two percent.

As long as the emperor admitted that "Confucianism is the mainstay, taking into account all subjects", he will give him enough face as a prime minister and a Confucian faction.

A few more questions don't make much sense.

If you continue to fight, you will be no different from a vegetable seller in the market.

Chu Tianxiu said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the minister has another proposal. ”

"Say!"

Xiang Yanran said.

"Now there are hundreds of counties and thousands of counties in Dachu, and private schools are everywhere, but they are all too small, and most of them are only ten schoolchildren.

Since the Great Chu Great Imperial Examination is being established, please allow the establishment of a larger Great Chu Institute of Higher Education and Institutions. Compile standard textbooks for the imperial examination, and all subjects and schools can study in the academy.

For example, Confucian colleges, agricultural colleges, medical schools, craftsman colleges, etc., study paper, study gunpowder, study horse breeding... All techniques that benefit the country and the people can be studied.

It also allows the world's scholars to have more places to go and livelihoods, so that they will not be useless except to bury themselves in studying and seeking officials. ”

Chu Tianxiu said.

"Well, that's a great idea... However, it costs a lot of money! ”

Xiang Yanran groaned, a little embarrassed.

"Whoever advocates what school of thought will naturally pay for it. There are so many nobles in Jinling Gate, I think they are happy to sponsor it. The imperial court allocates a sum of money for start-up, and the land can be used. ”

Chu Tianxiu immediately laughed.

"Okay, let's do it! Da Nong Ling, you allocate some money to set up a Dachu institution of higher learning. ”

Xiang Yanran nodded slightly.

"Yes!"

Yang Chu smiled bitterly and nodded.

"It's all gone!"

Xiang Yanran stood up on the palace gate and said lightly: "I look at you, a little faint marquis, and you are not faint!" We must pay close attention to the matter of the big examination of the imperial examination. There is also a second round of the county exam and a third round of the national exam. I, I can't wait to see what kind of talents have been selected for the imperial examination? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chu Tianxiu had a bitter face.

...

Prime Minister Kong Hanyou and Xiao Duhou's palace gate dispute finally ended.

This big debate has been completely decided, what will be tested in the imperial examination.

The courtiers, the lords and nobles, and thousands of Confucian scholars were still excitedly discussing, talking about the pros and cons, and scattered in all directions.

Dong Xianliang followed behind his teacher Kong Hanyou.

Kong Hanyou's face was pale, and his expression was very gloomy.

Hopes of exalting Confucianism alone were dashed.

The so-called "main examination of Confucianism, taking into account all subjects" is actually just a good face, so that he has a step to go down as a prime minister.

Da Chu's imperial examination and big examination, after all, still have to take all subjects.

In addition to scholars, seventy or eighty percent of the scholars in the world of Great Chu were originally Confucian students, and they only read Confucian books on weekdays.

Even if they took all the 30 points of Confucianism, it was only the score of the downstream, and there were another 70 points.

Thirty points can only get a "child" in the county test, and a "show talent" in the county test, and then it will come to an end.

At least 60 points or more is required to be expected to be lifted and eventually become a jinshi.

This means that the vast majority of Confucian students in the world have to hurry up to read other miscellaneous books and learn other subjects.... With this diversion, they feared that they would have to convert to other doctrines.

In the future, I am afraid that the Confucian scholars in the world will only account for about 30%. The rest of the families and factions can account for more than seventy percent.

This is undoubtedly a major loss for Confucianism.

The excellent situation of Confucianism was forced to reverse the situation by the imperial examination.

"Lost!"

"What a miserable loss!"

"However, Xiao Duhou is really powerful, any idea, the vision is far beyond me!

The descendants of the former Chu monarchs have such vision and insight. There is no such talent among my Confucian scholars. It's a pity... The emperor must have felt a pity in his heart! ”

Kong Hanyou said lightly.

Dong Xian's conscience was cold.

The origin of the little dusk marquis is a dead hole.

No one mentions it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it doesn't mean that there is no mustard in the royal heart.

If the emperor really doesn't mind, how can he make a holy decree and force the little faint marquis to enter the palace of Zongping? !

It's just that the filial piety that Xiao Duhou has tried his best to show recently has made Empress Dowager Shen feel very satisfied. Even the emperor already felt that the little dusk marquis was loyal.

It's a pity that Xiao Duhou's background is destined to be of great use.

"The establishment of the Confucian Academy, you go and prepare as soon as possible! Submit a report as soon as possible, and after the Prime Minister's Office approves it, the big farmer orders to allocate a sum of money first... The cost of this political reform in all aspects is very large.

Just using paper to replace Jane and the imperial examination cost the treasury a lot of money.

Now the big peasant order is still a little more generous, and when the money is not enough, it will be difficult to allocate it. ”

Kong Hanyou said.

He, the leader of the Confucian sect, of course, wants to seek more benefits for the Confucian students.

"Yes, disciple hurry up and do it! What is this academy called? ”

Dong Xianliang asked.

"Let's call it 'Jinling Academy', and invite the world-famous Confucianism to sit in and teach Confucianism. Find more wealthy businessmen in Jinling City to raise funds and make the scale larger. It can accommodate at least two or three thousand Confucian students! ”

Kong Hanyou pondered.
