Chapter Ninety-Four: The Imperial Examination System (II) (Super Chapter)

The imperial examination system of the Chinese Empire was different from the traditional Chinese imperial examination system, and the imperial examination system of the Chinese Empire was not conducted according to the previous four examinations: the Tongsheng Examination, the Incense Examination, the Hui Examination, and the Palace Examination.

The imperial examination system of the Chinese Empire, Gaoyang Yajun, was established as two examinations: the county examination and the state examination, with the county examination being written by the state and the state being examined by the state.

Those who pass the county examination can continue to choose to take the state examination, or stay in the county government department to become an official. Those who pass the state examination can become officials in the county government department, and those who have excellent grades can go to the state government department to become officials. Of course, if you fail to take the state exam, you must go back to the county government to become an official.

"Your Majesty, how should the subjects be set?" Prime Minister Mei Andao asked.

"Subjects!? Master Li, let's talk about the subjects of the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty and let me and you refer to it! Gao Yang Yajun glanced at Li Xueru, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and looked at Li Xueru with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Your Majesty has his own plans, why bother to ask the old minister again?" Li Xueru arched his hand and said.

"Li Qingjia, you must know that the culture of China lies in tolerance, and I should take the strengths of Tang to make up for the shortcomings of China. Li Qing said yes! Gao Yang Yajun raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, staring at Li Xueru with a smile.

"Alas, Your Majesty is generous, that's right, my Chinese culture is tolerant! Learn from each other's strengths, learn from each other's strengths! Li Xueru sighed, he seemed to understand something.

"It seems that Li Qing understands!" Gao Yang Yajun looked at Li Xueru with a smile.

"That's right, Chen understands! Tolerance and learning from each other's strengths is the reason why our Huaxia can stand on top of the world! Thank you, Your Majesty! Li Xueru stroked his beard and said involuntarily in a low voice.

"Li Qing doesn't need to be polite!" Gao Yang Yajun patted Li Xueru's shoulder and said.

Learn from each other's strengths, learn from others' strengths, and make up for your own shortcomings. Embracing all things in the world, this is the reason why Huaxia can stand in the world for thousands of years!

This is one of the reasons why Gaoyang Yajun allied with the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Khazar Khanate.

"Then Li Qing, now you can tell me what the subjects of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty are!?" Gao Yang Yajun looked at Li Xueru, and the ministers also looked at Li Xueru.

Li Xueru said to the ministers and Gao Yang Yajun: "The ministers must know everything, and they must say everything!" ”

Li Xueru bowed his hand to everyone and said:

"The subjects of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty were Xiucai, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Junshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, Mingshu and so on."

Gao Yang Yajun stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Xueru to continue, Li Xueru nodded and continued:

"However, subjects such as Ming Law, Ming Arithmetic, and Ming Characters are not valued by students. Junshi and other subjects are not often held, and in the early Tang Dynasty, the requirements for Xiucai were very high, but by the time of the Tang Dynasty, it had gradually thinned. ”

"And then?" Gao Yang Yajun and the various Shangshu had curiosity in their eyes, staring at Li Xueru and asked.

Li Xueru stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and said:

Then the Ming Jing and Jinshi became the main subjects of the Tang Dynasty. As for the two subjects of Ming Jing and Jinshi, they were actually just trial strategies at first, and the content of the examination was Jingyi or current affairs. By the time the minister left the Tang Dynasty, although there were some changes in the subjects of these two examinations, the basic spirit was still Jinshi's emphasis on poetry, and the Ming Scripture on the scriptures and Moyi. ”

"Oh! I see! Gao Yang Yajun squinted his eyes and nodded slowly.

"However, I don't plan to set up more than 50 kinds of subjects in Huaxia, such as Xiucai, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Junshi, Ming Law, Ming Zi, Ming Arithmetic, etc., which are really complicated!" Gao Yang Yajun said with a frown.

"And what is Your Majesty going to do?" Mei Andao looked at Gao Yang Yajun and asked.

"I think the subjects of this exam should be simple and clear, and my Huaxia has its own national conditions, so..."Gao Yang Yajun suddenly paused halfway through speaking, Gao Yang Yajun looked at the adults who were all listening, the corners of her mouth rose and continued: "So I think that the subjects of the Huaxia Empire should be set up separately according to the responsibilities of each ministry and the main officials!" Gao Yang Yajun smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, there are many overlapping responsibilities between the various ministries and the lords, especially the Criminal Department and the Law Department, the Jinyi Guard and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Huaxia Academy and the Ministry of Rites, how should these departments be chosen?" As the prime minister, Mei Andao naturally knew the responsibilities of various departments, and he asked.

"Well, that's a problem!" Gao Yang Yajun heard Prime Minister Mei Andao's question, lowered his head and frowned and muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a way!"

Prime Minister Mei Andao said with a bow.

"Prime Minister, please speak!" Gao Yang Yajun raised his head and looked at Mei Andao.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the departments of Jinyiwei, the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and the Huaxia Academy are not under the jurisdiction of the old minister's Zhongshu Province, and although the main responsibilities of these departments are different, they are all comprehensive departments! Your Majesty can order these departments to set up their own subjects and arrange their own exams! Mei Andao brought his thoughts forward.

"Oh? Do you schedule your own exams? Gao Yang Yajun frowned and thought.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks the prime minister's words are feasible!" Qin Muen, the secretary of the ministry, agreed with Prime Minister Mei Andao's idea.

"Oh? Qin Qing thinks the prime minister's strategy is feasible? Gao Yang Yajun looked at Qin Muen curiously.

Qin Muen nodded:

"Your Majesty, the prime minister's strategy is feasible, the departments of Huaxia Academy, Jinyiwei and Duchayuan are all under the direct control of His Majesty, not Zhongshu Province, and their officials have always been appointed by themselves, so they should naturally set up their own subjects and select officials!"

Gao Yang Yajun looked at these ministers and asked:

"Then Aiqing, do you think the prime minister's strategy is feasible?"

Huaxia University Shi Mei Xianying, Jinyi Wei Du Commander An Xuan, and Du Cha Yuan Grand Emperor Shi Ang Sachang glanced at each other, nodded and said:

"Your Majesty, the ministers agree with the Prime Minister's statement!"

Gao Yang Yajun also knew that it was best for them to select talents by themselves.

"Okay, then you can set up your own subjects and recruit your own talents!"

δΈ‰δ½œζ― says:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Gao Yang Yajun smiled and waved his hand and said:

"There is no need to be polite, so let's decide like this, the three departments of Huaxia Academy, Jinyiwei, and Ducha Academy set up their own subjects to select talents."

Gao Yang Yajun arranged:

"The questions of the imperial examination are written by various departments together, and then submitted to the prime minister for approval, and finally the prime minister will hand them over to me for approval and sealing, and then send them to various states."

Gao Yang Yajun continued:

"The subjects of the imperial examination are set up as follows: painting, language, geography, astronomy, architecture, six arts, vertical and horizontal, statistics, teacher training, public security, law, politics, history, foreign languages, agriculture, finance, biology, physics, and chemistry, a total of 19 subjects."

"Your Majesty's other subjects are clear to the ministers, but what about physics, biology, and chemistry?" After all, Prime Minister Mei Andao is the head of the civil officials, and he can only stand up again to help the ministers raise questions, of course, this is also his question.

"Physics is the study of the most basic forms and laws of motion of all matter, from the universe to elementary particles!" After Gao Yang Yajun finished speaking, she looked at the ministers, and seeing that they were at a loss, she sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, since you don't understand, then I will do an experiment for you to see!" ”

Gao Yang Yajun picked up the brush, then raised his hand and opened his grip, and the brush fell vertically to the ground.

"Do you know why the brush falls to the ground?" Gao Yang Yajun asked.

"Heh, because Your Majesty let go, the brush fell to the ground!" Li Xueru said with a smile.

"Oh? Li Qing, then I ask you, why doesn't the brush fall on the beam, but on the floor? After Gao Yang Yajun finished speaking, he looked at Li Xueru.

"This, this..." Li Xueru couldn't speak, he didn't know how to explain it at all.

And everyone in the court also looked at each other, not knowing how to explain.

"That's gravity in physics!" Gao Yang Yajun explained.

"Oh, I see!" The ministers looked like they understood, and Gao Yang Yajun knew that they didn't understand at all when he looked at them like this.

"I know you don't understand, but I've written a few books that explain biology, physics, and chemistry. After the prime minister retreats, you ask people to print it! Gao Yang Yajun walked to his desk, took out three books, and handed them to Prime Minister Mei Andao.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mei Andao took over these three books, which are called "Basic Physics", "Basic Chemistry" and "Basic Biology" respectively.

Gao Yang Yajun also didn't know why, since she crossed over, she was able to recall her previous knowledge moments, and she attributed this to the system.

It's a pity that Gao Yang Yajun had no father or mother in his previous life, so he could only graduate from junior high school, and after one or two years of high school, he had no money to pay tuition, so he had to drop out.

Therefore, Gao Yang Yajun can only write the books "Basic Physics", "Basic Chemistry" and "Basic Biology".

"By the way, the Ministry of Rites, you add these three subjects to the university!" Gao Yang Yajun arranged for Li Xueru to do.

Li Xueru nodded and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Gao Yang Yajun waved his hand and said:

"Then let's retreat if there's nothing to do!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister has just browsed the books written by His Majesty, and the old minister thinks that this is not suitable for joining the imperial examination. Lao Chen thought that it would be enough for these three books to join Huaxia University. Mei Andao arched his hand and said.

Mei Andao is worthy of being a prime minister, and his ability to accept is extremely strong, in fact, it is mainly because he gave Mei Andao some basic knowledge (the basic knowledge that the first emperor thought) during the first emperor's period.

"Why!" Gao Yang Yajun asked unhappily or angrily.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Your Majesty can set up a School of Physics, a School of Chemistry and a School of Biology to specialize in studying these knowledge!" Mei Andao arched his hand and said.

"Can the Prime Minister explain why?" Mei Xianying saw Gao Yang Yajun's expression and knew that Gao Yang Yajun was a little unhappy.

"This knowledge can only be unique to me in Huaxia, and cannot be passed on! Because this knowledge is so important, this knowledge is the foundation of my Chinese empire based on the world! Mei Andao said seriously.

"Oh? Why does the prime minister think so? Gao Yang Yajun was shocked when he heard Mei Andao's words.

"The first emperor once told Lao Chen about some future developments!" Mei Andao stared at Gao Yang Yajun and said.

"Well, well, Prime Minister, I agree with you! The Ministry of Rites, you immediately set about setting up the School of Physics, the School of Chemistry, and the School of Biology at Huaxia University. Remember, these three academies can only select people who are 100% loyal to the Huaxia Empire to enter and study! I teach it myself! Gao Yang Yajun now also figured out what Mei Andao meant, she was shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately there was Mei Andao to remind her, otherwise she might have taken a detour.

"The Jinyi Guards are all in command! When the construction of these three academies is completed, I order you to send people to guard them with the most loyal people twenty-four hours a day! Gao Yang Yajun arranged

"Yes, Your Majesty! When the time comes, the minister will definitely not let people walk in! The commander of the Jinyi Guard made An Xuan know that this must be important, so he immediately knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and promised

"Good!" Gao Yang Yajun nodded, and then said: "Then the imperial examination will eliminate the three subjects of biology, chemistry, and physics!" Only 16 subjects remain: painting, language, geography, astronomy, architecture, six arts, vertical and horizontal, statistics, teacher training, public security, law, politics, history, foreign languages, agriculture, and finance! ”

Mei Andao bowed ninety degrees and said:

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Although the others didn't know what Prime Minister Mei Andao and His Majesty Gao Yang Yajun meant, this did not affect them to tout Gao Yang Yajun, after all, Gao Yang Yajun could listen to the advice, so they also bowed ninety degrees and said:

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Now that the liberal arts examination has been arranged, let's talk about the martial arts examination!" Gao Yang Yajun said calmly.

Why is Gao Yang Yajun so calm, because Gao Yang Yajun knows that now is not the time for pride and complacency.

The Chinese Empire is not strong enough to beat the surrounding countries, and the Chinese Empire seems to be thriving at present, but in fact it is hiding various crises.

For example, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the number of grassroots officials is too small, and Luzhou and Luozhou have not yet been completely Chinese.

That's why Gao Yang Yajun stopped the war immediately after ascending the throne and became emperor, and began to implement civil rule in the Huaxia Empire, because she wanted to digest all the territories she occupied.

For example, when Gao Yang Yajun was the emperor, she could have annexed those big chiefdoms, but she didn't. Because the Huaxia Empire really can't eat it, then why would the Huaxia Empire ask Ashina Zachariah for the Taoriga region?

Quite simply, the Chinese Empire must have a road to the Mediterranean, and the Taoriga region is the only choice for Gaoyang Yajun, so Gaoyang Yajun must take the Taoriga region.

......

......

Everyone looked at Gao Yang Yajun's calm appearance, and secretly applauded in their hearts. When they heard that Gao Yang Yajun was going to set up a "martial arts examination", they did not object, because they felt that if there is literature, there should be martial arts.

And Li Xueru, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who would jump out from time to time to oppose it, and then was persuaded by Gao Yang Yajun, did not stand up against it.

Because the Tang Dynasty where Li Xueru lived before has always had the existence of martial arts, but he didn't expect that it was the empress Wu Zetian who set up the martial arts in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also an empress who set up the martial arts in the Chinese Empire.

ι«˜ι˜³ι›…ε› says:

"The martial arts examination is a means of selecting military generals, which is held every three years. The subjects of the martial arts examination are horse archery, foot shooting, flat shooting, horse pistol, weight-bearing, wrestling, fist fighting, stabbing, art of war, astronomy, geography, language, six arts, and other subjects. ”

"Your Majesty, which department is in charge of this martial arts examination?" Prime Minister Mei Andao asked.

"The martial arts examination is conducted by the Ministry of War, the Navy and Land Generals' Mansion, and the Yuxu General's Mansion are responsible for the exam." Gao Yang Yajun said the department in charge of the martial arts examination.

"Your Majesty, is the subject of this martial arts examination too harsh?" Yuxu General Dingzhong County Gongmei Dingguo stood up and asked.

"Harsh? Yi Qing, An Qing, do you think it is harsh? Gao Yang Yajun looked at Yi Yu and An Xu Ya and asked.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that everything else is fine, but this language and the six arts..."Yi Yu, An Xuya, and Mei Dingguo said in unison.

"How can a person in the Chinese Empire not know a language? And how harsh do you think of the Six Arts? What are the Six Arts? The six arts are: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. Aren't you all proficient, why are you so harsh? Gao Yang Yajun raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Thisβ€”" Mei Andao was speechless

"Rite is military salute, music is military music, royal is driving a carriage or riding a horse, book is writing military information, and counting is arithmetic. What's so harsh? Gao Yang Yajun asked again.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are ignorant, please forgive your Majesty!" Mei Dingguo and Yi Yu knelt on one knee and clenched their fists, while An Xuya bowed ninety degrees and bowed her hands.

"It's not too late for you to know, do you agree now?" Gao Yang Yajun glanced at the three of them.

The three of them hurriedly saluted and said:

"Agreed!"

Gao Yang Yajun took a sip of tea and said:

"Well, after the retreat, you can do it too!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Gao Yang Yajun heard the reply of the three people, waved his hand and said:

"Then let's retreat! This month, the small court meeting and the big court meeting will not be held, so you should hurry up and arrange the civil and military examinations! ”

The ministers nodded and said:

"Obey your orders!"

......

Within a month, the whole territory of the Chinese Empire knew that the imperial court was going to hold the civil and military examinations, which were held once a year and once every three years.

All states have received the test questions issued by the central government, and each county has also received the test questions under the state government, and Jinyiwei, Huaxia Academy, and Metropolitan Procuratorate have also issued their own questions to recruit candidates.

The first imperial examination of the Chinese Empire began.
