Chapter 165: No Bottom Line
The establishment of the Royal Academy was the most important thing for Zhu Houzhao and the foundation of his future administration. So he doesn't allow any mistakes to be made, and he doesn't allow anyone to make trouble.
As for what Zhang Jun proposed, Zhu Houzhao also wanted to do it. But that will have to wait until the Royal Academy is established.
After the academy was established, it was only a matter of one sentence that I wanted to do this kind of thing.
If this kind of thing is thrown out now, it will definitely cause an uproar. This is not what Zhu Houzhao wants, because it will delay the establishment of the Royal Academy.
Glancing at Zhang Jun, Zhu Houzhao didn't expect him to be concerned about this matter. I didn't let him participate in the affairs of the academy, who would have thought that he would actually come up by himself.
However, if you think about Zhang Jun's experience, you can understand that if it were not for the rules and regulations of the imperial examination system, Zhang Jun's achievements would definitely be far more than that.
Maybe that's empathy.
After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao felt that what Zhang Jun said made sense. It seems reasonable to do this yourself, but it doesn't take into account the human heart.
Although it was forcibly passed, but the Jinshi opposed it, who would support him?
Indeed, readers should be brought in, and independent enrollment should be carried out.
The most important thing is that Zhu Houzhao found a suitable candidate, and this person is the most suitable person to preside over independent enrollment.
Of course, this person is none other than Zhang Jun, an old fox.
He has a heart, he wants to do this, and there is no reason why he should not support it.
Glancing at Zhang Jun, Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "This palace has indeed thought about it, but things are complicated, and there is no suitable person to handle it." Besides, if you do this, I am afraid that you will be attacked, and this palace is also in a dilemma. Since Aiqing has proposed it today, I don't know if Aiqing is willing to take on this important responsibility? ”
Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, he guessed correctly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just wanted to do this. However, he didn't expect that the crown prince would let him preside over this matter.
Zhang Jun has this expectation in his heart, he is now a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he is in charge of the affairs of the Heavenly Teaching, and the imperial examination is also within the scope of his management.
However, if he can't be the chief examiner, this imperial examination has no meaning to him at all. With his level of knowledge, it is no fun to be the examiner.
Of course, it is not that Zhang Jun thinks that his knowledge is poor, but that he understands in his heart that the examiners are all those who have done well in the exam, and most of them are from the Hanlin Academy.
It's good for someone like him not to be excluded, and he still wants to be the main exam, which is just a fool's dream.
But Zhang Jun is unwilling, why?
After learning that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to establish the Royal Academy, Zhang Jun felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to turn himself over.
After a detailed understanding of the structure and organization of the Royal Academy, Zhang Jun immediately saw the essence of the matter.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the Royal Academy was for the teaching of officials. But Zhang Jun still saw that the fundamental purpose of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not to teach officials, but to jam the neck of the officials.
In a word, I think you can be an official only if you can be an official, not if you only read the sage book and take the imperial examination.
The difference between them is huge, so that the quality of officials can be controlled from the source, and those who are not qualified should not be killed.
To put it bluntly, it is to take the appointment power of officials from the hands of civil officials to the hands of the emperor.
Although on the surface, the right to appoint officials for the imperial examination has always been in the hands of the emperor, the most basic selection power is in the hands of civil officials.
Every year, civil officials are in charge of the proposition of the imperial examination, so they have the final say on what kind of person can enter the officialdom. That's why they hold officialdom.
Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing this, making it clear that he wants to take power back.
After seeing the essence of this matter, Zhang Jun realized that his opportunity had come.
Now that he is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, in Zhang Jun's opinion, he has reached the top, and it is very, very difficult to take another step forward.
But this time, the establishment of the Royal Academy was its own opportunity. Once he can enter the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and become a staunch supporter of his new policy, he will at least be able to achieve the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Maybe in order to set an example for the people of the world, I can still make it to the chair of the cabinet.
As for offending people or something, Zhang Jun is not afraid at all.
So after hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, although his heart was churning, Zhang Jun still hurriedly said: "I am willing to be His Royal Highness the Prince, and my liver and brain are smeared!" ”
Zhu Hou glanced at Zhang Jun and sighed in his heart. I read it right, this is really a cunning old fox, and there is no bottom line.
Thinking of the people I used, what Shen Lu, what Qi You, what Liu Qi, and now there is another Zhang Jun, all of them have no bottom line.
Now Zhu Houzhao understands, why do emperors in history have traitors around them?
Because they listened to the emperor and were unprincipled, which is probably why they were called traitors.
In Wenchen's view, to Jun Yao Shun is their ideal. In this ideal, listening to the emperor's words is not counted, but the emperor must listen to his own words, and those who listen to the emperor are naturally traitors.
But from the emperor's point of view, those who listen to themselves should be loyal ministers.
Sure enough, there are two sides to everything, and as for which side it is, it depends on which angle you stand on.
Zhu Houzhao stepped down from his seat, came straight to Zhang Jun's side, stretched out his hand to help him up, and then said, "Aiqing doesn't have to be like this. Since Aiqing was willing, the palace immediately asked his father to allow Aiqing to join the Royal Academy to recruit students. In addition, Hongu also has some ideas about recruiting students. ”
Zhang Jun hurriedly said, "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give advice." ”
"The enrollment of the Royal Academy, naturally, it is impossible for everyone to want it, and it is still necessary to have merit and fame. The palace believes that anyone who is a scholar who is a talented student in the examination can enter the Royal Academy to take the exam. Those who pass the examination can enter the Royal Academy. Aiqing said that there is no need for a separate subject, in the eyes of this palace. Anyway, only those who pass the exam can graduate, so let's study together. Zhu Houzhao was expressionless and said in a casual tone.
Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhang Jun was excited.
Although it seemed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's statement was limited by Xiucai, Zhang Jun realized how terrible the things here were.
Because this will be supported by talents and lifters.
You must know how huge the number of talents and lifters in Daming is, how many people have failed to pass the test repeatedly, and how many people have failed to pass the exam because of the corruption of local officials and all kinds of tricks.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given them a promotion rank! A chance to turn over!
How important is it for these readers? Zhang Jun empathizes.
The latter one is even more scary, it is not a separate subject, but a study together. That means that these people enjoy the same treatment as those who have passed the Jinshi examination.
Then why are you still admitted to the Jinshi?
