Chapter 988: The Conflict of Interests of the Court

Shang Shu's right servant shot and Chu Liang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, stood up and said: "This Jinshi scientific examination, township examination, meeting examination, palace examination, selection and passing at all levels, and the number of places has also been expanded, it is indeed the blessing of the world's scholars, but I don't know the content of this exam, what shall prevail?" ”

Chu Liang is one of the contemporary Confucians, the family studies several generations of Confucianism, naturally hopes to take Confucianism as orthodoxy, after all, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Wuhu Chaohua, the impact on the Central Plains is too great, resulting in the monarch is not a king, the minister is not a minister, many etiquette, norms, etc. have been trampled, and the right to dare to abolish the imperial power and establish himself as the king.

There are many gates in the world, and the exit of official career recommendations is controlled, resulting in too few promotion channels for scholars in the world, and they can only rely on being diners and get the name of recommendation, which is not conducive to scholars from all over the world, therefore, Chu Liang not only agrees with this selection mechanism, but also worries about whether the assessment content is orthodox.

Luo Zhaoyun hesitated for a moment and said: "It is related to the selection of talents by the imperial court, which is naturally closely related to ability, cultural level, ability to do things, and self-cultivation. Therefore, the imperial court decided to focus on Confucianism and several hundred schools of thought, such as sage articles, historical allusions, strategies and views on governing the country and the state, etc., which accounted for a large proportion. ”

"However, in the end, most of these talents will be officials and errands, serve the country, and even allow them to go to the local government to make political achievements, and to be parents and officials, at least they must understand the principles of natural objects and arithmetic, so there will be a test paper like this, accounting for a small proportion of the score."

Therefore, the movable type printing technique of the imperial court is about to be developed, and next month the examination subjects will be drawn up as soon as possible, and the examination syllabus and textbooks will be printed on a large scale, and the examination syllabus and textbooks will be distributed to all prefectures and counties to receive education and prepare for the imperial examination. In the future, the imperial examination will be more complete and applicable than that of the previous dynasty, and formalism, bureaucracy, and rigidity will be eliminated! ”

Luo Zhaoyun's point of view can be described as novel and unique, but it is not to the point of exaggeration and bizarreness, so the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can also understand the general situation, and they whispered a lot in private, and they were surprised.

However, overall, the impact on the court etiquette team is not big, only some of the nobles, some of the whispers, after all, since then, the probability of the poor family will increase, in the past, only the children of the nobles can have enough books to read, and there are also good teachers to teach and solve doubts, plus the influence of the family, so the opportunity to enter the poor family is cut off.

Now that the new imperial examination system is being implemented in this way, it seems that it is fair to all scholars in the world, as long as they study carefully and work hard, they will have a chance to pass the examination.

"Your Majesty, in this way, I am afraid that the children of the poor family will enter the court on a large scale, causing instability to the existing political situation.

A man named Dugu Jixun official came out, he is a side branch of the Dugu Xin family, now he has done Dali Temple, the position of the left line of the examiner, once the glory of the Dugu gatekeeper, he was still a young man, he had experienced the power of the nobles and wanted to glorify, if the imperial examination system is implemented in this way, I am afraid that the majority of the children of the gate valve will not be able to pass the examination in the future, after all, the number of children of the poor family is dozens of times that of the children of the nobles, hundreds of times, the top talents in the cold family, I am afraid that I can make a fuss, the examination in the second of the noble children.

"Yes, but there's something wrong with it." Dou Shanjia is in charge of the province, and he also stood up to question it.

Subsequently, Pei Yong, Liu Huaien, and Chai Derong, who were from the third and fourth grades, stood up for some of them, including the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, the Guozi Jian Cheng, and the Wailang of the Ministry of Officials. Although he is not a second-class member, and his position is not as prominent as the six Shangshu, Shilang, and Governor of the Imperial Court, it is indeed a level that the middle stream of the court is resisting, and there are many children of the nobles of the gate valve, and they are worried that their position will be replaced by the Jinshi from the Hanmen Imperial Examination in the future, or they are worried that their children and grandchildren will be difficult to become talented in the imperial examination, which is also reasonable.

But at this time, Yao Silian, a scholar of Hongwen Hall under the Honglu Temple and the Hanlin Academy, stood up and said: "This is a national talent selection, fair and just, and no one is treated equally. ”

Yao Silian was not a Guanlong nobleman, he was born in Nanchen, and his father Yao Cha was known for his literary talent in the Liang Dynasty. Nan Chen was the secretary of the ministry at that time, and he led the great works. After the Chen Dynasty was destroyed, he entered the Sui Dynasty and served as the secretary, and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, ordered him to continue to revise the history of the Liang and Chen dynasties, which had already begun. Yao Cha died in the second year of the Great Cause, and the testament Silian continued to complete the two historical books of "Book of Liang" and "Book of Chen".

It can be said that although Yao Silian was born in a family of eunuchs, he paid more attention to scholars and Confucian scholars, so when he learned that His Majesty now attaches great importance to literati and wants to take Confucianism as one of the important subjects in the scientific examination, he is naturally very happy, which is the imperial court's display of the importance of scholars.

The chaos of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the continuous change of dynasties, the constant fighting, and the chaos of the Hu people, in the final analysis, are related to the abandonment of Confucianism in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms and the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Now starting from the Dahua Imperial Court, re-emphasizing Confucianism, opening several other hundred schools, increasing the intensity of the imperial examination, selecting the elite of the world's scholars, giving Jinshi background, entering the court as an official, and local government, this has a manifestation of the idea of educating the world and sages Datong, so as a model among scholars, these great Confucian scholars and Hanlin Qingliu will definitely be the first to stand up and support.

Sure enough, in addition to Yao Silian, Shang Shutai's left servant, Gao Shilian, who is also the head of the household department, Lu Deming, a provincial scholar and a doctor of Taixue, Xue Shu, the secretary of the province Shaocheng, and Xue Shu, who is also the direct speaker of the country, Wei Zheng, the imperial historian, Kong Yingda, the provincial servant, Dali Siqing, and Fang Xuanling, the governor of the political department, stood up to refute, feeling that the new imperial examination system of the imperial court is of great benefit to the country and the people, and will be supported by scholars across the country.

In fact, most of the so-called gate lords and nobles were military generals, their predecessors were the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty and the twelve generals, etc., creating the glory of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and so on. The second is that the people in this group "enter the phase, and go out as a general, and there is no separation of civil and military affairs." To put it bluntly, it is the Guanlong military aristocratic group.

Like Yao Silian, Lu Deming, Kong Yingda, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Xue Shui, Gao Shilian waiting, these people are mostly pure Confucian students from "scholarly families", and several generations of people who have read poetry and books, they pay more attention to the status of scholars and the class of scholars, so in this imperial examination world, a kind of military aristocratic group has naturally formed a difference with the literati group.

Luo Zhaoyun listened to these officials standing up and fighting, arguing with each other, quoting scriptures, and refuting each other, and felt a little in his heart, the war in the world is gradually stabilizing, but the war in the court may have just begun.
