The sky darkened unconsciously, and before the lights on Ye Xun's mansion were lit, the important ministers of the court came one after another.

Ye Xun has been gone for more than half a year, although there are a lot of things to explain, why don't these important ministers have a lot of things to find Ye Dagong?

Nominally, he came to the banquet, but before he said anything about it, who had the heart to drink and eat?

In the hall, Ye Xun sat in the center, flanked by Fang Zhenru, Yuan Yingtai, Zhang Quan, Li Zhiwen, Chen Shancai, Liu Wenguang, and the new secretary of the Ministry of Industry Li Yong and Gao Wengang of the Criminal Department.

Of course, there are more than these high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty, but the real power is none other than these eight people.

Ye Xun attaches great importance to virtue in employing people, so these Shangshu who later took office can be regarded as officials with both ability and political integrity.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for more than half a year, the imperial court has relied on you to maintain it, and this prince has thanked the Queen Mother and His Majesty on behalf of you."

After everyone arrived, Ye Xun made an opening remark first, saying that he was thanking you for the queen mother and the emperor, but the tone was no different from that he was the emperor, but no one would delve into it.

Fang Zhenru was already the head of the ministers at this time, and took the lead in saying: "The father-in-law is serious, there is a father-in-law who is killing outside, and Fang Shi has the normal and stable operation of the imperial court.

With Fang Zhenru's words, several other people also echoed.

"Lord Fang, this is not like your character! Haha..."

Although he was ridiculed by Ye Xun, Fang Zhenru was not angry, and sighed slightly: "Others don't know, everyone here should know that now whether it is North Korea or Japan, they are all chaotic, and there is no comparison, I don't know the gap, think about the chaos of those countries, and think about the peace and contentment of the people of the Ming Dynasty, so that I can know how much my father-in-law has contributed to my Ming Dynasty."

North Korea and Japan can become what they are today, it can be said that it is completely caused by Ye Xun, but this kind of thing is disgraceful, even if someone knows that this matter is related to Ye Xun, they will never say it.

Ye Xun smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Master Lao Fang should spare me, otherwise I will definitely have to float up for a while."

In the laughter of all the court officials, Ye Xun continued: "I invite you to come today, first, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much, and I have a few other things to tell you."

When everyone heard this, they knew that the main dish was coming, so they all closed their mouths and looked at Ye Xun.

"The first thing, next year is the second year of Longxi, the Queen Mother intends to grant amnesty to the world, and at the same time reward the civil and military ministers, this reward can be described as a precedent for the founding of the dynasty, so you adults should also be prepared accordingly to avoid extraneous branches"

In fact, Ye Xun had said this matter more than once before, because he came and went in a hurry, and the resistance was too great, so it had not been implemented, but this time Ye Xun said that he had to do everything to get this done, otherwise he felt sorry for the subordinates who were fighting outside.

Seeing that everyone did not raise their voices against it, he continued: "The second thing is about the imperial court, from now on, students who want to obtain the qualification for next year's spring festival must not only pass the provincial examinations, but also have a certificate of traveling abroad for three months, and for those whose poor families cannot afford the travel expenses, the local governments must bear all the expenses."

"The country wants talents from all walks of life, not nerds"

As soon as Ye Xun finished saying this, almost everyone frowned, because they also started with Baguwen, and now the later students not only have to know Baguwen, but also dabble in other things, isn't it embarrassing? Besides, who says that a reader must be a nerd?

Chen Shancai, the secretary of the ministry, took the lead and said: "Father-in-law, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, after the New Year, there are students who have a long way to go on the way to Beijing, is it too hasty for the three-month travel time you requested?" ”

Ye Xun shook his head and said: "Actually, three months is just a hard rule, if the students can make a detailed record of what they see and hear along the way on the way to the exam, it is the same, my father is not saying that everyone who reads is a nerd, but this kind of travel is definitely beneficial to their future career."

In fact, this matter should also bring the professors of Guozijian and Taixue, and listen to their opinions before making a decision, but everyone can also see that Ye Xun did not call these people, obviously he has the intention of crossing them, but by doing this, there are many hidden dangers.

Li Zhiwen is also a person who has been the head of the cabinet, and he thought of the key to it as soon as his head turned, so he frowned and said: "Gonggong Ye is not discussing this matter with those professors of Guozi and Taixue, if it causes resistance from these people, I am afraid that there will be a big mess!" ”

Li Zhiwen's feelings for Ye Xun are very complicated, both grateful and resentful, but in general, he still agrees with Ye Xun's policy and concept of governing the country, otherwise he would not have reminded him at this time.

Someone can bring up this question, which is really gratifying to Ye Xun, at least it shows that these people are not distracted by him.

Since he has been thinking about this matter, such a big omission, how could Ye Xun not think of it? In fact, this is just a foreshadowing of what he is about to say.

Glancing around at everyone, he said slowly: "After the New Year, an Imperial University will be built in the capital, and the president of the Imperial University will be served by His Majesty himself, and Bengong will be the executive president and temporarily replace His Majesty in managing the Imperial University."

What is Imperial University?

For a while, the knowledgeable adults were also blinded, it was not that they were lonely and unheard, but the term Ye Xun was too fresh.

"The Imperial University will offer military, political and miscellaneous studies, and the professors will not only be our great scholars, but also foreign instructors, with a semester of two years, and those with excellent grades can directly serve in official positions."

After Ye Xun finished speaking, everyone finally understood Ye Xun's intentions, he was going to challenge the imperial examination system that had been passed down for thousands of years, and he clearly wanted to overthrow this system!

Thinking of this possibility, Fang Zhenru finally couldn't sit still, and said worriedly: "Isn't my father-in-law's move too much Meng Lang?" I don't know if my father-in-law has thought about it, once this move is implemented, how many students who have studied hard for ten years will be wasted? If he is used by someone with a heart, his father-in-law is afraid that he will be targeted by the people of the world! I hope my father-in-law will think twice."

Ye Xun's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and saw that the two hardcore subordinates, including Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan, also had the same worried expressions, and couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart, if he wanted to change the conservative concepts of these people, it was really not something that could be done in a day or two.

"Don't get me wrong, first of all, the establishment of the Imperial University will be after the big exam, and those students who fail to make the list can also apply for the Imperial University, make the best use of their resources, make the best use of their talents, this is the purpose of our Imperial University"...
