The military aircraft meeting had dispersed, and Zhao Chen walked forward.

At this time, Li Gang chased after him from behind.

"Your Majesty!" Li Gang shouted loudly.

"What else is going on with the teacher?" Zhao Chen stopped, and waited for Li Gang to come to his side before he said.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the imperial examination is very important, and you must not act in a hurry! For hundreds of years, the imperial examination was dominated by Confucianism, and if His Majesty hastily changed and caused turmoil in the country, what would he do? Li Gang said.

"According to the teacher's opinion, how should I implement it?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty can first open the imperial examination throughout the country, and still only take the Confucianism test! Open schools all over the country, and only Confucianism should be studied! However, His Majesty can set aside a county to study and learn. Li Gang said.

Zhao Chen thought for a long time and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, what the old minister said is the safest way! Lao Chen also thought about it carefully just now, and what you said at the military aircraft meeting may have some truth, but no one knows if it is really useful, so you need to try it first! Li Gang said.

"I used to think about it, but now I feel more and more that it's not feasible! Education, imperial examinations, unlike other things, take too long to implement! Trying, experimenting locally, it is impossible to show results without ten years of work! So, I won't agree! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, you're only eighteen years old, and it's only been ten years, can't you wait?" Li Gang asked.

"I have other considerations." Zhao Chen smiled and said lightly.

"Your Majesty, are you not afraid of the opposition of the Confucian scholars in the world in carrying out such a imperial examination?" Li Gang asked again.

"It is precisely because I am afraid of the opposition of Confucian scholars in the world that I want to reform the imperial examination as soon as possible!" Zhao Chen said.

That's what he calls "other considerations."

Now that the world is experiencing wars, in the Central Plains and Yanyun, countless Confucian scholars were killed by the Jurchens, and a group of Confucian scholars were recruited by the Jurchens. As for Western Xia, the north, and the same is true of Liaodong! Under the rule of Zhao Chen, Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuan and Shu have not held the imperial examination for eight years, and some young people have either joined the army or the production and construction corps, and the number of pure Confucian scholars is also very small! Only Jiangnan Confucianism is numerous, and there may be some chaos, while Zhao Chen has plans to compromise in Jiangnan temporarily! Except for Jiangnan, the rest of the country has implemented a new education system and a new imperial examination system, and after a long time, the advantages will be manifested, and Jiangnan will naturally change.

If the new education and imperial examination system are not implemented now, the world will be peaceful, and there will be more and more scholars, all of whom are Confucian scholars who grew up reading Confucian classics, and the resistance that Zhao Chen will face in ten years will be countless times greater than now!

"Your Majesty, if you do this, the world will be in chaos sooner or later!" Li Gang said.

"I'll do it safely! Today, I still haven't made up my mind, but let you all go back and think about it, and only after the whole court and the central government are unanimous will I carry out this matter! Zhao Chen said.

Regarding the "chaos in the world" mentioned by Li Gang, Zhao Chen didn't take it to heart at all!

The possibility of Confucian reading rebellion is too low, too low! There is a poem in ancient times called "The pit ash is not cold Shandong chaos, Liu Xiang originally did not read", after Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, Confucianism pointed and pointed, Qin Shi Huang felt that Confucianism may be the root cause of cholera in the world, so he burned books and pit Confucianism, but the "pit ash" of burning books has not cooled down, the world began to be in chaos, and none of the rebellious Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were scholars! From ancient times to the present, there have been no scholars who rebelled, either poor people like Liu Bang, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Li Zicheng, or court ministers and nobles like Cao Cao, Yang Jian, and Zhao Kuangyin!

"Your Majesty, think twice!" Li Gang said bitterly.

"I'll think about it too!" Zhao Chen nodded and said.

******

Zhao Chen led a few guards to the back, still thinking about this matter along the way.

As for whether Confucianism is good or bad, history has long been clear!

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, China was far behind the rest of the world, and the Qing government officially abolished the imperial examination system based on Confucianism! The Qing government even invited Confucius out of schools across the country.

During the Republic of China, the New Culture Movement prevailed, and Confucianism was overturned.

In the modern society of later generations, whether it is China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and other places, Confucianism is no longer the mainstream of society, and students from all countries will not only learn Confucianism!

The tragic lessons of later generations told Zhao Chen that if he still focuses on Confucianism, he is afraid that the Chinese nation will still suffer hardships in the future, and even become a semi-colony of white Europeans and Americans, and be bullied by the Japanese invaders who have changed the law to become strong! Confucianism will only make the country more and more conservative and make the country more and more backward, so it is imperative to reform education and imperial examinations!

Education is the foundation of a country! The reason why Germany was strong in later generations was because of modern education! And Zhao Chen also wants to implement China's education reform step by step.

It's already the season of spring, and the north of the palace is very quiet!

Until now, there weren't many people here! Compared with the scale of tens of thousands of people in the imperial palace in the Han and Tang dynasties, it is simply unimaginable!

Walked to a secluded courtyard, only two palace maids stood at the door, Zhao Chen nodded at them, and then entered the courtyard.

This courtyard was full of peach blossoms, and bursts of floral fragrance came, and Qin Yuzhen and Song Qingyao were practicing swords here.

Qin Yuzhen's martial arts are better than Song Qingyao's, but they are not a martial arts competition, the two of them are like butterflies, and they stopped after a while.

"Husband!" When Song Qingyao saw Zhao Chen, she was overjoyed and walked over first.

Zhao Chen smiled, he pulled Song Qingyao to sit on the stone chair in the courtyard, and Qin Yuzhen also stopped at this moment and walked towards here.

"Your Majesty is a little unhappy today?" Qin Yu really said.

"I'm not unhappy, I'm just discussing the matter of the imperial examination, and the ministers of the DPRK and China disagree with me, and I am still thinking about ways to persuade them." Zhao Chen said.

"Actually, what Your Majesty did was to change the law." Qin Yu really said.

"Yes, it's a change!" Zhao Chen said.

"Decades ago, Wang Anshi changed the law, but instead of succeeding, it made my Great Song Dynasty even worse than before, Your Majesty should not be like Wang Anshi." Qin Yuzhen looked at Zhao Chen with bright eyes and said.

"I am naturally different from Wang Anshi! I have the prestige and power that Wang Anshi does not have! Wang Anshi changed the law, there was a lot of resistance, the scholars and doctors in the world were against him, and my prestige was not under Taizu and Taizong, no one could oppose me! If I don't change the Fa, when the time comes, no one will be able to change the Fa! Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen drove out the Tartars and restored China, and his prestige even surpassed that of Song Taizu and Song Taizong, and it was with this prestige that he was able to suppress some opposing voices and make the land of China completely transformed! If he does not change now, future generations will not have such prestige as him, and it will be even more difficult to change.

"Senior Sister Qin sit down first! Husband, you have been busy in the court for so long, and when you come back, you have to talk about the government, which is too boring. Song Qingyao said with a smile.

"And what do you want to say?" Zhao Chen stopped and said with a smile.

"Let's talk about what happened in Huining Mansion at the beginning? Why every time I mention it, Senior Sister Qin and Senior Sister Xue's faces turn red, they don't tell me, they can only let my husband tell me. Song Qingyao said.

As soon as Song Qingyao's words were finished, Qin Yuzhen's face turned red, and she walked outside without looking back.

"Actually, there's nothing ......" Zhao Chen thought about it, and still said what happened that day.

"Husband, you have seen their bodies, and you have to be responsible for them." Song Qingyao said.

The rules of law in this era are completely different from those of later generations, such as what Zhao Chen did in those days, they should have belonged to Zhao Chen a long time ago.

"A-Yao, I'm sorry for you...... Originally, it should have been enough to have you, but Yueru entered the palace early, which was very pitiful, and the later Miss Qin and Miss Xue should not be. Zhao Chen hugged Song Qingyao and said softly.

"My husband is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, since ancient times, the emperor has been seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts, but the husband has only four women, which is no one before or since! I know that many ministers in the court have asked their husbands to enrich the harem, but their husbands have not agreed, and Ah Yao is very grateful. Song Qingyao said with a hint of resentment in her voice.

"I promise, never again! I will never bring back any other woman except the two of them. Zhao Chen said.

"It seems that Husband Jun hasn't really gotten Senior Sister Qin and Senior Sister Xue yet, right?" Song Qingyao smiled coquettishly in Zhao Chen's arms.

Zhao Chen nodded a little embarrassed.

"I'll help my husband in this matter, but you have to talk about it, and there can be no other women." Song Qingyao said.

"It's nature! I'm already satisfied with you, so how can I get along with other women? Zhao Chen said.

The two of them chatted under the peach tree for a long time before leaving the place.

******

On April 20, Zhao Chen convened a military conference again, but this time the discussion was still inconclusive, and Li Gang, Li Ruoshui and other old ministers still opposed the reform of the imperial examination.

In the next few days, Zhao Chen went to the mansions of various ministers to discuss with many ministers, but he still could not convince Li Gang and others.

On 28 April, the Military Aircraft Department discussed the matter of the imperial examination for the third time, but there was still no result.

On May 2, Li Gang wrote a letter opposing the reform of the education imperial examination!

On May 5, Li Ruoshui also wrote a letter to oppose the reform of the imperial examination!

On 10 May, Li Gang and Li Ruoshui, together with more than a dozen ministers of the DPRK and China, wrote against the reform of the imperial examination, and Li Gang claimed that if Zhao Chen insisted on the reform of the imperial examination, he would rather resign.
