Chapter 380: There are many people in the Ming Dynasty

Emperor Chongzhen really didn't play his cards according to the routine.

Didn't have a second round of exams before?

It doesn't matter, isn't it there now?

is also what is said in "Han Feizi: Eight Traitors", so that the ministers do not worry about it.

As an emperor, you can't let your courtiers guess what you're thinking, as the so-called king is not secret, he will lose his ministers, if his ministers are not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will be harmful. It is a gentleman's prudence and not out.

Thanks to the training in the traverser training base in his previous life, although he did not study hard, Emperor Chongzhen also mastered one of the most basic skills at the beginning of the crossing - facial paralysis.

Now there are more and more hole cards, and his fists are getting harder and harder, so Emperor Chongzhen doesn't need to pretend to be paralyzed, but Emperor Chongzhen still agrees with this point not to make the ministers feel uncomfortable.

So Lao Tzu just doesn't play cards according to the routine, you just take it slowly!

Emperor Chongzhen was happy, and the students who were answering the questionnaire below had a headache.

This question is much better than the proposition just now, but this is a question that offends people!

Especially for candidates near the capital.

Candidates who are farther away, such as Lingnan, can also say that they have passed too much, and they can write about it, but what about the close?

For example, the candidates in Changping wrote how the county order of Changping was, and then the goods were unlucky......

And how many candidates are there in Changping? In the end, even a fool can guess what's going on.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's non-routine play is obviously more than that.

After the answer sheet for this question was received, Emperor Chongzhen began to ask the third question.

That's right, it's the third question.

This question can be said to be the easiest exam question, but it is also the most favored exam question by Emperor Chongzhen.

The first of the two exam questions is a proposition, which is used to torture candidates.

In the second question, Emperor Chongzhen planned to see how many of these candidates really paid attention to the problems of people's livelihood.

As for this question, it is the test question that Emperor Chongzhen really intends to select talents.

Ignoring the bewildered courtiers and students below, Emperor Chongzhen said: "The opening of the country overseas by the vassal kings is already a well-known thing for my Ming people. Now the King of Tang, the King of Qin, the King of Qing, and the three vassal kings have gone to sea and found a continent, on which there are the remnants of Yin Shang, and I have named it Xinming Island.

According to Zheng Zhilong, admiral of the South China Sea Fleet of the Ming Navy, Xinming Island is not so much an island as a continent, and its land is extremely vast, comparable to my Ming Dynasty.

What I want to ask now is, what to do with that newly discovered continent? How should the vassal king be managed? How should the Ming Dynasty manage its immigration there?

What is the benefit of the discovery of the New World for my Ming Dynasty? What's the downside? What is the impact on the private sector? Please try to say. ”

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words came out, Wen Tiren stood up first: "Congratulations to Daming, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

With the sound of a sycophant, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's just a continent, let the students answer the questions first." ”

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen attaches great importance to the students' answers, but the students are also hurting.

This question is indeed not a proposition, nor is it a question that offends people, but this question is completely a question that can only be written by a blind chicken!

If the question asked is for the Ming Dynasty, then everyone can still answer it.

But the current question is aimed at that place on Xinming Island, except for Emperor Chongzhen, who knows that place?

Since I don't know, I can only rely on guessing, and then the blind chicken writes.

But if you really want to write blindly, the consequences will not be much better than the result of the second question.

Today, in this hall, whether it is the courtiers or the students who participated in the palace examination, they have finally figured out one thing, that is, Emperor Chongzhen intends to pick up the Legalist doctrine again.

But let's try it out with Shinmeido first.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen really didn't think about it that much.

came up with Han Feizi's Legalist doctrine, but Emperor Chongzhen deliberately came up with it.

But when it comes to testing Xinming Island, Emperor Chongzhen has no such plans.

Because when Emperor Chongzhen was looking through "Han Feizi", he found a very interesting phenomenon.

It is said that Confucianism pays attention to what kind of monarch and minister, and the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die.

In fact, Legalism is obviously better at playing - in the first article "First Sight of Qin", a problem is clearly pointed out at the beginning.

This is no different reason, and his advisers are not loyal to him.

How do you understand this thing?

It's King Qin, your old man is so awesome, and Daqin is also so awesome, staring at who is pregnant, and the territory is getting bigger and bigger day by day.

But now?

The armaments were poor, the soldiers were tired, the reserves were empty, the fields were barren, the granaries were short of food, and the princes around were not very convinced.

There is nothing else to do with this, but your old man's courtiers are not loyal enough!

Yes, in one sentence, the responsibility of King Qin was completely removed, and all the bad consequences were caused by the courtiers' carelessness and nonsense.

Moreover, later Legalist scholars also went forward to achieve this - for example, Chao made a mistake and made a cut of the domain, which also caused the Seven Kings Rebellion, and put the pot on the Dharma field as soon as he carried it.

Such a good legalist, how could Emperor Chongzhen not like it? Do you want to like those Cheng Zhu Lixue who chirps crookedly when they have nothing to do, and who is absolutely undesirable and follows the principles of heaven?

The point is that you yourself married a nun.

Hemp sells lots!

After the palace tried, Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace, planning to take Wen Tiren and Zhang Ruitu and a group of people to see what kind of level this batch of scholars were.

Emperor Chongzhen remembered the news that Tian Ergeng reported to him when he first returned to Beijing - there was no rebellion, and it was not that there was a big problem somewhere, but that someone was secretly organizing and propagating the doctrine of Legalism.

Now Emperor Chongzhen is happy, he has just killed a wave in the south, so someone sees the opportunity?

There are still a lot of smart people.

Therefore, there was also a situation where Emperor Chongzhen suddenly came up with a disgusting Legalist topic.

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen also plans to change the doctrine every year in the future to disgust people.

It's just that before the marking of the test papers began, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly spoke: "Zhang Aiqing reviews the third question of all the test papers, Wen Aiqing reviews the second question of all the test papers, and I will review the first question." ”

Because Emperor Chongzhen suddenly remembered that the famous historical book "Tang Bricks" that he had read in his previous life was used to review the entrance examination papers of Yushan Academy.

And this also prevents the first question from being deliberately dismissed by Wen Tiren or Zhang Ruitu.

People's hearts can't withstand temptation, but it is better to eliminate the possibility of problems from the root.

It's just that after Emperor Chongzhen began to review the test papers, he couldn't help but laugh angrily.

Some bastards really just don't eat the fireworks of the world.

For example, how did a scholar answer the second question?

"Passing through a certain county, there are a lot of people, they are well fed, the old are dependent, the young are raised, and the government is harmonious, and they are all called Your Majesty's good governance."

And others just don't have a brain.

"Counting the counties and counties of Qin, it has been thousands of years so far. Xinming Island is also the land of our Ming Dynasty, and it should be the same county. ”

When some people were answering the first question, they simply broke the jar and broke it, so they answered a mere four words: "This crooked reasoning is also." ”

If the answers to the second and third questions are all kinds of teasing, the first question is a fool.

Emperor Chongzhen now really wants to bring this scholar to him and ask him, have you heard my question clearly?

What I asked was how to put an end to the existence of the Eight Traitors, and you told me that Han Zi's doctrine was a crooked theory?

So how did Qin and Han get to become a Han and a Wuhu?

Seeing this kind of answer, Emperor Chongzhen simply lost interest in reading the second and third questions, and directly chose to fall.

This kind of bastard who can't even understand the question is if he becomes an official.

Of course, the second question written by the blind chicken was also dethroned.

Chongzhen passed this question in the first year, and this question came out in the second year, but if you are not a fool, you should be a little forced to count, right?

But no, I started to fucking hold stinky feet.

Lao Tzu let you hold it, go home and hold your sage book.

As for the third question, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care whether these people wrote correctly or wrongly.

Because although the third question is used to select talents, there is no fixed answer to this question at all.

Because there really was no precedent before.

If it is the Ming Dynasty, no matter who dares to answer a feudal system, these students will definitely be unlucky.

But on a big island like Xinming Island, which is far away from the mainland, whether it is a county or a feudal domain, they can answer casually.

As long as he can justify himself, and can make Emperor Chongzhen feel that these ideas have the possibility of being realized, even if it is very small, it can be regarded as a correct answer.

It's a big deal to try it out on Xinming Island first.

When he saw the answer to the third question of a test paper on whether the remnants of his Yin Shang were interested in the Ming Dynasty, how far away it was from other Xiyi, and how much the Ming garrison needed to be and how much the city needed to be built, Emperor Chongzhen smiled.

This time it's a real laugh.

There are a lot of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, but there are not many fools, but it is not impossible to have some ability.

For example, in this test paper, the answer to the first question is to strictly enforce the law, and if there is a law, it must be followed, and if it is violated, it must be investigated.

Moreover, it is also clearly mentioned that the laws of the Ming Dynasty have not been amended for 300 years and are no longer suitable for the current situation, and should be appropriately amended.

As for the second question, what did this guy say?

What is the county order of a certain county, the geometry of the people in the county, how many are the poor, how many are the rich, what is the folk opinion, and what is the approximate time when you pass by, it is clearly written.

And it is more than 20 counties as soon as it is written.

Although they are all written relatively simply, and the data estimates are not accurate, without relying on the intelligence of Jinyiwei and Dongxichang, with this test paper alone, Emperor Chongzhen can have a certain understanding of the general situation of these more than 20 counties.

The answer to the third question, this guy's answer is even more amazing.

Seal the domain, and then push the grace, in addition, you have to directly garrison the army, and rotate every few years.

If there is a new deal in Daming, it can also be tested in Xinming Island first, and then implemented locally if there is no major problem.

In short, it is necessary to ensure that the Ming Dynasty has control over Xinming Island, and to ensure that those vassal kings can ensure that Xinming Island is firmly controlled by the Ming Dynasty no matter how they wave.

It also has to play the role of an experimental field, and at the same time it is a dark color that goes out of the base.

This kind of plan coincides with the results of countless discussions between Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren and others.

Finally there is a reliable one.

By the time the moon was already in the middle of the day, the 300 test papers had been marked.

Emperor Chongzhen pinched the most brilliant answer sheet, looked at Shen Hao's name written on it, and chuckled: "Someone." ”

Wang Chengen immediately bowed down and said, "Please ask the emperor to command." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Tell Tian Ergeng and ask him to send someone to verify the information of this student, especially the situation of the more than 20 counties written on this person's answer sheet, and how different is the actual situation from what is written." ”

After Wang Chengen wrote down the names on the test paper and the names of the counties mentioned, Emperor Chongzhen said to Wen Tiren and Zhang Ruitu: "Two Aiqing take a look at this person's answer sheet, if there is no problem, I want to take this person as the champion of today's department." ”

Wen Tiren and Zhang Ruitu are also very impressed by this answer sheet, which is really brilliant compared to the fact that there are all the answers in other answer sheets.

It's just that the traces of Legalism in this person's answer sheet are too heavy, and for a while, it makes Wen Tiren and Zhang Ruitu feel a headache.

Now that Emperor Chongzhen simply wants to designate this person as the champion of the current department, the two of them are inevitably a little worried in their hearts.

There is never a shortage of nonsense between scholars.

Just like today's palace exam, there are only three exam questions, and it is inevitable that there will be exchanges in the future.

When other people know that the top of the list is a student who is biased towards Legalism, it is really difficult to predict what kind of chain reaction will be triggered.

After thinking about it, Wen Tiren bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, if the content of the answer sheet spreads, I'm afraid that this son will be pushed to the forefront." If Your Majesty really wants to reuse this son, why don't you give a flower first? ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "The big waves are sweeping the sand, if he can't even resist this level, then there is no need to cultivate it anymore." ”

Cultivate? What did Emperor Chongzhen want to do?

What Emperor Chongzhen thought was actually very simple, this guy was too sharp, and the momentum of the unobstructed eyes in the test paper was unobstructed.

But this guy is only sixteen years old.

If this kind of person is not suppressed well, the girl will not know what it means to be high and thick, and when the prince uses it in the future, this kind of person can be easily used?

Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen didn't believe it.

The biggest possibility is that as soon as he dies, this guy will become the next Zhang Juzheng, or a heroic figure like Sima Yi.

However, Emperor Chongzhen planned to train the prince in the same way that he cultivated the prince in the Western Han Dynasty.

In other words, if this guy is really a talent, he will be a retainer for the prince in the future.

If you don't suppress him now, when will you suppress him?

As for what to do if this guy named Shen Hao can't resist the suppression, Emperor Chongzhen said that it doesn't matter, anyway, there are many people in the Ming Dynasty.
