Chapter 330: Temptation
The spread of Yanxue continued, and the Confucian scholars of Tai Academy could not stop it, so they could only pin their hopes on the imperial court.
But the court didn't care about it, which made them feel unusually cold.
However, just when they felt like the weather in December, the imperial court suddenly summoned several ministers and Confucianism and began to debate around one thing!
It's a wonderful thing, it's just a scientific expedition, but it's really bigger than heaven!
The ministers didn't expect that the Queen Mother summoned them for this matter, crazy, really crazy, you do this, what should I do if I wait for the status of my descendants?
The ministers present were not human spirits, and they saw the harm of this imperial examination at a glance, so they all shook their heads again and again, disagreeing.
But the great Confucians are different, even a guy who wants to suppress a new school that has just emerged, it is self-evident how much influence he has on Confucianism, and a few old stubborns immediately flew from the cold winter to the spring, with happy smiles on their faces.
How much the imperial examination has done to the development of Confucianism can be seen by everyone, so why not do such a good thing to spread Confucianism?
In fact, although they are also scholars, because their Confucianism is passed down from generation to generation, they have an absolute advantage in this, that is to say, once the imperial examination is launched, the first batch of protégés of the Son of Heaven are definitely their descendants!
As for whether they are loyal to the scholars or the imperial court, in the case of Confucian scholars, it is naturally the latter, only those who do not have ink in their stomachs will be afraid of the imperial examination!
"The queen mother, the old minister thinks that this proposal is feasible, and now there are very few capable people in the local government, and even too corrupt, which leads to the people falling into a miserable life, making the people miserable, and rebuilding the mourning, but if the imperial examination is opened, the imperial court selects talents, and puts them in the local government, it will be able to reduce corrupt officials, and it will be of great benefit to the people, the court, and the world!"
"Queen Mother, the minister is against it! Although the imperial examination can select talents and use them for the imperial court, it will make the local nobles resentful, and they must be afraid of losing their official positions, which will lead to rebellion! Queen Mother, please think again! ”
"If the minister has objections, is it because of the local scholars to give up the selection of the world's talents? Ridiculous, on the contrary, if the local nobles are allowed to develop like this, they will inevitably grow, endangering the court and the world! ”
"Minister's Reconsideration ......"
A group of old ministers and Confucians began to argue in the palace, which gave the queen mother a headache, but what was even more headache was that he had already learned the news, but he seemed to be an emperor who had nothing to do with him!
"Damn, why do you want to avoid me for such a big thing?" Huang Jin said angrily.
Ding Changshou looked at Huang Jin's depressed expression, and said with a wry smile: "The imperial examination is only beneficial to Your Majesty, and it is harmless, so why should Your Majesty be angry." ”
"How could I not know that once the imperial examination is opened, all talents in the world will be used by me, but I am afraid of the Queen Mother...... Stick your foot in the cross! ”
Huang Jin's concerns are not without concerns, because the temptation of this matter is too great, once it is done, it will be praised by all the talents in the world, and he will be able to run away from his name through the ages!
Therefore, Huang Jin really wants him to carry out all this, so that he can rightfully become a supporter of the world's talents, but if the Queen Mother is allowed to do everything, and then let him go, what is it?
Although the talented people in the world have become protégés of the Son of Heaven, who should they be grateful for in the end? The Queen Mother! And not him, the emperor! Because everything was ordered and executed by the Queen Mother, it had nothing to do with him, the emperor, he was just picking up ready-made!
"No, the Queen Mother must not be allowed to hold the imperial examination, this matter can only be done by me!" Huang Jin said a little gloomy.
Ding Lao was startled, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”
Huang Jin knew that Ding Lao was telling him that his wings were not full, and if he went against the Queen Mother now, the end would definitely be miserable!
But he really couldn't watch such a great achievement being obtained by the Queen Mother, and in that case, he couldn't raise his head in the court.
What am I?
Every time he goes to the court, Huang Jin is silently reciting this sentence in his heart, don't look at the Queen Mother just hanging the curtain to listen to the government, but when people report, they are facing him, and the report is for the Queen Mother next to him!
"I heard that this matter was mentioned by Dong Ce!" Huang Jin suddenly said this.
Boss Ding was shocked and frowned: "How does Your Majesty know? You're ......."
Huang Jin waved his hand and said, "Ding Changzhi don't worry, I didn't doubt you, but they didn't dare to disobey me, I hope Ding Changshou won't blame." ”
Ding Lao smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew that Huang Jin might really start to doubt his intentions, because he kept telling Huang Jin to be patient, and said many words: "The time has not yet come!" ”
Over time, how could Huang Jin not doubt his intentions, but he was really thinking about Huang Jin, otherwise he would have more ways to make Huang Jin unable to get power for the rest of his life!
"Indeed, this method was consulted by the Queen Mother!" Ding Lao nodded.
"Sure enough!" Huang Jin was not angry, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "The last time Ding Lao came back, he mentioned this person several times in front of me, saying how good this person's knowledge is, at first I didn't believe it, but now it seems that Ding Changshi is still boasting, this person is far more than knowledge!" ”
After thinking about it, Huang Jin said excitedly: "Ding Changshou and Dong Yilang have a bad relationship, I don't know if it can be ......."
Ding Lao smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "Your Majesty Dong Yilang is not clear, but the old minister can see that a person like him can be said to have no desire and no desire, and there is very little that can move him, at least, the old minister has never seen the brilliance in his eyes!" ”
"Doesn't he want to be promoted to a knight?" Huang Jin didn't believe it.
Ding Lao smiled bitterly and said, "A person in the Yanjiao can't be an official, as the sect leader, how can he not lead by example?" ”
Huang Jin was depressed, he really didn't expect that there were still people in this world who had no desires and no desires!
In the past, maybe he believed it, but since the last time he secretly went out of the palace with Ding Lao to see the outside world, the things he encountered, the people he met, were all a sharp word, no money, no work, such as he wanted to cross the river, obviously there was a fisherman sleeping on the boat, let him take a ride, and immediately ask for benefits, otherwise you still have to go around to the ferry more than ten miles away.
So he firmly believes that Dong Ce must have something to ask for, as long as he can give it to him, what reason does he have not to help him?
The imperial examination was proposed by him, so he must have a way to do the imperial examination better, instead of just saying a skeleton and letting those old ministers and Confucians argue endlessly, wasting time in vain!
This is a great thing, Huang Jin can't wait to immediately issue an edict, let the local government and Rulin join hands to set up a hospital examination, select talents for him, and he will naturally get a good reputation! Perhaps, because this move has been praised by the world's talents for thousands of years, if it is not good, he will be praised as an emperor through the ages!
Tempting, in the face of such a great temptation, how could he be willing to give up? (To be continued.) )
