Chapter 106: True Fragrance
Zhu Houzhao also guessed that once the murder of the monarch was opened, it would definitely lead to a large reduction in the number of officials in the DPRK and China.
Therefore, he has long thought about the way to open the system of examining and selecting officials and opening Enke.
In the past, the officials were selected by the Ministry of Officials, who wanted to have the qualifications to be officials, first reported to the officials, and then the officials made up for the vacancies.
Not only does this lead to the breeding of corruption and the inability to appoint the right people to serve as the right officials, but it is also very inefficient, and many people have to wait many years to get the official position, and it is not necessarily the official position that they are satisfied with.
Zhu Houzhao has now passed the unified official selection examination, and all vacancies can be announced at one time on a regular basis.
It is up to the selected person to choose the official department, and at the same time, the method of selecting officials can be changed to registration and examination, and they can be made up after passing the examination.
In addition, it can also allow each functional department to select the right officials according to their own needs, which can be said to have the characteristics of two-way selection, which is no different from the civil service examination in later generations.
Coincidentally, the current large number of official vacancies is also the best opportunity for Zhu Houzhao to establish a system for selecting officials by examination.
However, this can ensure that a large number of officials who are more suitable for the administration of the imperial court can be replenished in a short period of time.
But according to the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty now, most of the scholars, especially the more excellent, will choose to be selected by the imperial court after the entrance examination, so Zhu Houzhao has to open Enke again.
As the emperor, Zhu Houzhao opened the civil service examination system in the Ming Dynasty, especially at the central level, which is not very difficult.
But the most difficult thing is that it is impossible to change the phenomenon that society attaches importance to the imperial examination and despises other ways of teaching in a short period of time.
And Kaienke can naturally guarantee that excellent scholars will be recruited at this time.
The intellectuals of the entire Ming society only care about the imperial examination, whether the selection of officials in your court is to fill the vacancy, or the exam, it is just a game for those who lose in the Shilin, as a student who has the confidence to rise to a high-ranking official, Zhongjin Shi is the right way to enter the Hanlin.
At present, the eighteenth year of Hongzhi's imperial examination has just passed, and for most of the fallen people, there are still some unwillingness, and many have not even left the capital.
Zhang Xuan, who also lives in the capital, has already failed in the third meeting, and he is naturally disappointed, and he has written a few baskets of poems that he has never met, and he also decided to stay in Beijing Guozijian to study, vowing to go up on the road to the imperial examination.
Even when the imperial court announced that it was about to hold an official election examination at this time, Zhang Xuan was as dismissive as most of the scholars who stayed in the capital, and even Zhang Xuan also committed the common problem of literati, and criticized the current government as soon as he was unsatisfied: "Although the three cabinet ministers killed the king, the crime is extremely evil, but even the rebellion against the party and the ten clans is too ruthless, and now our majesty is too ruthless although he has a black belly, I am afraid that it will not be the blessing of Shilin in the future!" ”
"Be cautious! Now that the city is full of minions of the East and West Factory, you are not afraid of being implicated in the case of killing the king, even if you have a thousand mouths, you can't tell clearly", his friend named Tang Ren hurriedly covered Zhang Xuan's mouth.
Zhang Xuan hurriedly slapped Tang Ren's hand away in disgust: "I, Zhang Zhang, have done a good job, why not be afraid of the minions of Dongchang!" If I, Zhang, have a relationship with the traitorous ministers who oppose the party, will I still fail in the imperial examination three times! Your Majesty is acting ruthlessly today, why can't you say! ”
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! The latest news of the Emperor Ming Bao, the Ministry of Rites issued an edict to the world, and the first year of Zhengde will meet again to try Enke, and the son in Beijing can be reported quickly! ”
At this time, the newsboy of Huangming Daily happened to appear in front of Zhang Xuan.
Although the Emperor Ming Bao has only appeared in the Beijing City Well for less than two months, but the people in the capital have been accustomed to this new thing, Zhang Xuan saw this and was even more busy grabbing a copy over, after reading it, he hurriedly said: "It seems that I have to live in your house for a few more days, I will try Enke to be held in April, and increase the number of 100 Jinshi, it can be seen that my Emperor Shengming, I am quite considerate of my students who study hard in the cold window!" ”
"Brother Bingyong, didn't you still have a lot of slight remarks about Your Majesty just now?" Tang Ren asked puzzled.
"When did Zhang slander today's saint, now the saint can be said to be an unprecedented Ming monarch, fifteen years old and punished the ministers, open Enke and recruit talents, such a master, I Zhang Xuan Sansheng was fortunate to meet him, how could he have a slight resignation, farewell, foolish brother to prepare for the exam!"
After Zhang Xuan finished speaking, he took the newspaper and left.
Seeing this, Tang Ren only shook his head helplessly.
……
At the same time, Xia Yan, the son of Xia Yan, who also fell in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, was writing to his father Xia Ding at this time: "My father is personally enlightened, and my son wants to leave Beijing and return to his hometown on the tenth day of the first month. ”
Xia Yan didn't dare to say in the letter that Zhu Houzhao was a cruel king, only that there was a legacy of Taizu, and he believed that his father could understand what he meant.
But at this time, his servant came to report: "Childe, the people from the Ministry of Rites have come to the office, and the imperial court will hold a meeting in April of the first year of Zhengde to try Enke, and the number of places will be increased by one hundred." ”
When Xia Yan heard it, he immediately tore up the letter and wrote again: "Father, Wanfu Jin'an, everything is fine in the capital, don't worry, now the saint is quite benevolent, although he is young but has the heart of governance, and now he is even more thirsty for talent, and he will hold a meeting in April to try Enke, which can be described as the emperor's grace is vast, very sage, and the son wants to stay in Beijing and take the test again, hoping to fold the golden cinnamon, and it is not easy to live in peace, and I hope to send another hundred taels of silver!" ”
……
This is also a very normal phenomenon in today's era, no matter what dynasty, no matter how ruthless the emperor was to the literati, as long as they are given the opportunity to advance, and give them the opportunity to get ahead and glorify their ancestors, that is, to exploit the people, it can also be said that they have the opportunity to govern the world, they will heal their scars and forget the pain, and still regain the heart of "learning literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family".
Even Zhang Xuan and Xia Yan, who shone in the Jiajing period in their original history, are no exception.
What's more, they were able to rise in the officialdom in the original history because they were not defenders.
However, at this time, Zhu Houzhao did not know how many talents he would recruit for the benefit of the country this time, and he was now about to explain to Wang Yangming the purpose of preparing for the establishment of Beijing Normal University.
Zhu Houzhao knew that even if he was in power in person, it did not mean that he could now carry out land reform, economic system reform, or even open up the sea, and so on, and that the civilian-bureaucratic clique was still a powerful force, and even though he had eliminated a lot of them by taking advantage of the anti-party case, he had fundamentally not changed the system that was conducive to the expansion of the civilian-bureaucratic clique.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao can only start to change the unreasonable system that may lead to the demise of the Ming Dynasty in the future from a place that does not involve the fundamental interests of the civilian bureaucracy.
Running a school, that is, popularizing education, and disseminating new knowledge is undoubtedly the most difficult way for this society to adapt at the beginning.
What's more, Zhu Houzhao can't reform by himself, he always has his own supporters and fellow believers, therefore, he has to run a university to sow the seeds of changing the Ming Dynasty in the future, and he has not sown the seeds of open-mindedness and knowledge development, rather than just confined to the world of Cheng Zhu Lixue, if you want to make this society full of vitality, remember to make the ideological and cultural circles of this society full of vitality.
According to the original historical development, the Ming Dynasty will break through the barriers of Cheng Zhu Lixue in the ideological circles in the future, bloom with brilliant brilliance, and reach its peak after Wanli, and even begin to collide with the West of the same era, but unfortunately it came to an abrupt end in the middle of the seventeenth century.
And now, Zhu Houzhao has decided to make the storm in the ideological world more violent in the future, one Wang Yangming is definitely not enough, there must be countless Wang Yangming, one Li Zhen is not enough, there must be more alien existence that will impact the Shidafu Group!
