The strategy of the temple examination is called countermeasures, and it also has its own rules. The number of words in each article can not exceed 1,000, in the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, only the champion of the Chenghua year, Luo Lun, criticized the eunuch and criticized the emperor, wrote more than 6,000 words, not a word is not easy to delete a word, and no one else has this favor.

The palace test countermeasures also have their own format, the beginning must have: "the minister to the minister", and the end part must be used: "The minister bows down to pick up the stalk, listens to the dust, and trembles - the minister is respectful" as the end. Don't write the title, don't point the hook.

The whole exam lasts for one day, and no candles are given to avoid fire. Juzi can bring his own food and drink, and the imperial court provides a pack of palace cakes at noon, and a few large jars of tea to drink, which is actually very difficult in terms of the examination environment. However, when it comes to the temple examination, all the references are focused on the top score, and they don't care much about food or other material comforts. Even if you're hungry, it doesn't matter.

The palace test countermeasures of the Ming Dynasty mostly used loose bodies, and the requirements were also very loose. Since the palace examination selects officials, the actual binding requirements are much less than the previous examination. You can not only write some views on the administration of the imperial court, but also point out the disadvantages of the times and point out the problems that exist at the moment.

It's just that this hall exam question, in Fan Jin's opinion, is more like a standing question than an exam question.

The politics of the world are one, and this topic certainly seems to be fine, and it belongs to the standard political correctness. This is a national policy set from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, no matter who is replaced as the emperor, this article cannot be moved. But the problem is that the timing of this topic is a bit ingenious, and it is no problem for the government of the world to come out of one, but it is actually very problematic at the moment because of the hands of anyone.

Zhu Yuanzhang established the system, naturally hoping to grasp the political authority in the hands of his children and grandchildren, if his policies are not discounted and continue without the slightest change, the power of the entire empire will be in the hands of the emperor, and no one can take the power from the hands of the emperor. The head of the cabinet has no foundation of its own, and its position is completely controlled by the emperor, and if the emperor wants him to be in the seat, he can continue to work, and if the emperor wants to drive people out, he can make the emperor head different with just a flick.

In another time and space, the Ming Dynasty in the Chongzhen era was already in turmoil, and the imperial power was not as good as the previous dynasty, and killing the first assistant was as easy as slaughtering a chicken. No matter how majestic Shoufu looks, in fact, he can't be compared with the prime ministers of the Tang and Song dynasties, the two rulers have different foundations, different foundations, and their own authority is not comparable. Therefore, from the perspective of the system, the power of the world can only be in the hands of the emperor, and cannot fall anywhere else.

But the problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang's system, like many laws and systems of the Ming Dynasty, only emphasizes rationality and ignores human nature. In the normal operation of a country with a large territory, there will inevitably be countless complicated and trivial or somewhat tricky things. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. If the emperor wants power, he has to assume the responsibilities of those in power.

The more power you want, the heavier the work you have to undertake, just do a simple thought, the Ming Dynasty has such a large territory of two capitals and thirteen provinces, and there is only one incident per day in each province, and the emperor has to deal with fifteen emergencies. These incidents must be properly handled to ensure that the policies are realistic, reliable, and have the possibility of implementation, so as not to cause chaos in the local area and not to destroy the existing form of the country. What's more, there are more than fifteen things in a country a day, and not every emperor is a hero.

Not all the descendants of the Zhu family have the same extraordinary energy as their ancestors, and not all emperors have enough wisdom and political skills. What's more, this job requires no rest days throughout the year, and all the time every day is devoted to dealing with the affairs of the government and the country, and there is no time for yourself. Like Zhu Yuanzhang, who works more than 12 hours a day, this kind of working schedule comparable to a sweatshop naturally makes his children and grandchildren cry bitterly, and they are unwilling to work hard like their ancestors.

Later generations always like to use conspiracy theories when they talk about the great power of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, but they ignore the most fundamental problem, which is the inevitable need to govern the country. As long as the Ming Dynasty wanted to maintain a unified and highly centralized political model, it must make the civil government powerful. Because the emperor can't govern it by himself, and the emperor is unwilling to bear that kind of hardship.

When a part of the government is handed over to the ministers below, the imperial power must be divided and transferred downward, otherwise it will be impossible to work. And the emperor wants his subordinates to work, and he has to ensure that those who get power do not threaten his throne, and the groups he can choose are not foreign vassal kings, eunuchs, civil officials, and military generals.

First of all, the vassal king must be eliminated, after all, the Ming Dynasty moved from Jiangning to Beijing because the vassal king changed ....... Since then, this has been unusually well guarded. For example, some fellow travelers want to advise the emperor to colonize overseas, and then divide the kings, which is the suggestion of who makes and who dies after the Yongle Jing Martyrdom. Yongle himself is a vassal king who supports the army and rebels, you propose to engage in a few powerful princes, and they are not restricted by the imperial court overseas, what is your position? During the Chongzhen period, the Tang King led the troops to rescue the king, and he was stuffed into prison by Chongzhen when he turned his head, which is also a circumstantial evidence.

As for the eunuchs, this will not be done.

First of all, eunuchs who don't know how to read can't deal with government affairs, which is the most basic common sense. Secondly, the eunuchs who knew how to read were actually taught by civil officials. Most of the eunuchs who can be assigned to teach in the inner study will become auxiliary reservists, because such internal and external ministers have the friendship of teachers and students, and it will be more convenient to deal with national affairs. Therefore, eunuchs are only civil officials who have been cut, and they are no more trustworthy than civil officials who have certain parts. In the end, not all eunuchs are trustworthy, and civil officials who do not obey their orders are squeezed out by eunuchs.

Although the decree was nominally issued by the emperor, it was actually entirely possible that it was issued by a certain eunuch, and the emperor did not know about it from beginning to end. For example, when Ming Xianzong was in power, he wanted to respect his mother-in-law Empress Qian and his biological mother Zhou Guifei as the queen mother, and at the same time determine the emblem. At that time, in order to please Zhou Guifei, the eunuch Xia Shi passed on the exclusive respect of Zhou Guifei as the queen mother. University scholars Li Xian and Peng Shi strived to be the two queen mothers. The emperor did not know about the whole incident from beginning to end, and the holy decree issued in his name had already reached the hands of the hundred officials. Under the Ming Dynasty system, respecting the central decree was likely to respect the orders of the eunuchs, and in the long run, sooner or later it would evolve into a situation in which the eunuchs controlled and abolished the position at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Only the holy decree that has been completed in the formal process is most likely to reflect the will of the emperor himself. Wenchen only obeyed the holy decree of the cabinet to draft votes, in fact, this is the embodiment of loyalty to the emperor.

As for Takeo, it can't be listed as an alternative answer at all. The situation of the emperor after the martial artist took power, the previous dynasty experienced too much, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty naturally did not go to death by himself. For example: Ming Chuanwen's darling Zhengde, in history, the second-rank military generals commanded Bi Chun's pregnant wife to go to the leopard room to sleep, Bi Chun can only obediently obey the order, which means that the warrior himself is not in power, otherwise this holy decree alone may cause a mutiny.

After calculating the strength of several aspects, under the goal of maintaining the existing model unchanged and ensuring the stability of the country, only the civil officials were left who could help the emperor govern the world, so with the rule of Renxuan, the civil authority of the Ming Dynasty gradually increased, and the imperial power gradually moved downward, which was also a helpless move under objective conditions.

Now Wanli has not yet married, and from the perspective of officialdom, it is fundamentally a person with limited capacity for conduct. If there are no cabinet assistants, and no one will see the country's concerts in front of Wanli, then it won't be long before the country will be paralyzed or civil strife will occur. The fact that the Son of Heaven could not govern himself before his marriage was a constraint on the protection of state power by the mature feudal regime after several turbulences, ensuring that the country would not be damaged by some unreliable emperors.

The emperor can't govern himself, the country must operate, and the local government can't get autonomy, and Zhang Juzheng at this time is actually taking the place of the emperor to govern the country. The position of power he has, and it is precisely because of this that at least in the current time period, Zhang Juzheng can be regarded as the emperor's spokesperson.

The politics of the world are now in the hands of Zhang Juzheng rather than Wanli, which is inevitable caused by the objective situation and cannot be interfered with by manpower. Since he is the first assistant and not the emperor, no matter how domineering and powerful he is, there will always be a murmur below. It is impossible for the bigwigs of the DPRK and China to be as obedient as their sons, and Zhang Juzheng can do whatever he says.

Then, as he pushes through the New Deal, his tactics are likely to become more brutal and the backlash may grow. Since ancient times, most of the people who have pursued change have not ended well, and the reason is also related to this. On the one hand, he stole too much imperial power, causing the Son of Heaven to dislike it, and on the other hand, destroying the existing interest pattern and leaving his relatives without relatives, how could the end be good.

This strategy is actually to let the Jinshi stand in line and see what these future pillars think about this issue. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, folk thinking is more complicated, and some scholars have begun to have some not very good ideas, believing that the huge country should adapt measures to local conditions and give more power to the people and the grassroots. For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the great thinker Huang Zongxi put forward the idea that the world is the lord and the guest. If such a volume appears at this time, it will be difficult to please the ranking and future.

But one-sided support for politics is one, and there is another question, who is this one? If the emperor thinks that Jinshi actually supports Zhang Juzheng, even if it is nothing at the moment, it is difficult to say whether it will be good for him in the future.

There is also a possibility that the emperor is not happy with it now, and then forgets it, which is also relatively probable, after all, there are hundreds of names in three years, and the emperor may not remember it. Fan Jin can think that there are the most moves to bet on this kind of probability, and most of the compositions are based on Zhang Juzheng's attitude, and Yu Xiaohuang's attitude is not considered much, or thinks it is irrelevant.

The problem is that this can be gambled by others, but not by himself, and the emperor will not forget himself if he forgets anyone. After all, as a famous touch in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor is indispensable to read his own comics, and the name Fan Jin can appear in his eyes in three days, and it is not easy to forget. After reading the comics, it is inevitable that you will remember what you have written, and at that time, if you find that you have a problem with your position, it will also be troublesome. After all, Emperor Jiajing is mean and unkind, and who knows if his grandson will be like this, so it is better to be cautious.

After thinking for a while, Fan Jin began to work on the draft, starting with two empty hands, "The minister hears the minister, the world has a political foundation, and the sincerity of the people is important, and then the government is subordinate to its origin." The man of the world is also the instrument of the master......"

In this treatise, Fan Jin first admitted that the government of the world is out of necessity, legitimacy, and progressiveness, and whoever opposes this should be smashed on the dog's head...... But it is not mentioned who this one is. Next, he turned the pen and explained that for the master, politics is one, that is, his heart is also on politics. Likes to play, sing and dance, and banquets will all lead to distraction, and if the master is distracted, the government cannot be one.

And the way in which the lord of the people governs is also a question. The mere use of prestige and force will only provoke civil unrest, and is not conducive to the stability of the country. If you want the country to be peaceful for thousands of years, you still have to use virtuous ministers to assist.

At this point, Fan Jin began to lay an ambush in the article, and those who are interested in going to power one day must be virtuous and complementary...... It is absolutely no problem for the emperor to want to be in power, and it should be. But what should be done does not mean that it can be done, Han Zhixuan and Tang Zhixian have all thought of receiving the power of the world, but the results are not very good. The reason is that there is a lack of a virtuous and auxiliary minister who can serve the Lord wholeheartedly. Today, the appearance of such a virtuous appearance is the luck of my Ming Dynasty, the luck of Your Majesty, and the luck of the people. The people and the virtuous complement each other, what is the trouble of the discipline outline, what is the trouble of governing the army, and why is it not clear about the people? In ancient times, there were people with political foundations, and they were also so.

When the ministers were respectful, Fan Jin shook his wrist and looked sideways at the hourglass at hand, the time was almost noon. The hall was still quiet, and no other sound came from it except the sound of writing. Although there were many civil and military personnel in the Manchu Dynasty, no one dared to make a move, so as not to bear the sin of driving in shock or disturbing the candidates.

The little eunuch had already handed out the palace cakes and tea, but few of them actually went to eat. Although you can get up to drink tea in the palace test, you are not allowed to go to the toilet, and it is convenient to get up halfway is equivalent to handing in the papers. In order not to row up, I had to skip eating or drinking, and endure a meal for the sake of fame and future, and anyone could do it.

In addition, the temple test does not give candles, and when the time comes, it will be forcibly closed, and in this kind of big test, everyone has to carefully conceive the article and figure out the words, although it is a thousand words, but the speed of writing is not fast, and one day may not be enough. Everyone was afraid that they would not be able to turn in the papers on time, and all the time was spent writing, and no one cared about eating.

Fan Jin looked down at the white Goryeo paper, and his own black and bright round willow bones and flesh pavilion style characters, and basically had a grasp in his heart: Probably this will be no problem.

Zhang Shunqing popularized science to himself on the road, and the so-called palace test strategy theory was actually somewhat patterned in the Longqing period, and according to Fan Jin, it became a routine text model. Candidates write some empty words and clichés according to the rules of the golden three chapters: the policy is mostly the Junde Junxin, the holy study and the holy politics, etc., and the following eulogies and the last article are complimentary, all of which are new and old, but fill in the number of paragraphs in the middle, and temporarily imitate the strategy to ask the main purpose .......

Her own text was clicked by Zhang Shunqing, a talented woman, and with the original foundation, it shouldn't be bad. As soon as his heart was wide, he was bold, untied the red silk wrapped outside the palace cake, took it out and put it in his mouth to chew, and picked up the tea to drink.

Wanli sat on the throne and looked down, there was some distance between the two, the hall was too big, and some unlucky people were divided into dark corners, not only the emperor could not see him, but he himself could not read the words clearly. Candidates who are assigned to this position basically admit that they are unlucky, and they just mix with the same jinshi.

Fan Jin's Huiyuan was very cheap at this time, and he was assigned the highest position, not only was there enough light, but Wanli could also see him. Originally, it was very boring to watch hundreds of people write, but as soon as my mood changed, my perspective on the problem also changed. Thinking that among these hundreds of people, there may be some obedient subordinates who only look forward to themselves and do whatever they say, and the boredom in their mood will be replaced by excitement.

When he looked at Fan Jin splashing ink and writing anxiously, Wanli was even thinking, if Fan Qing was painting at this time, he didn't know how much he could draw? Last time, I went to 800 and broke 100,000, and I heard that there are eight sledgehammers in the back, picking a pulley, and I don't know when I will be able to arrive.

With these thoughts, I don't feel bored, and when I saw Fan Jin holding up the palace cake and eating it, I felt funny in my heart. greeted Feng Bao and said in his ear: "Look, big companion, Fan Qing is the only one who is eating, and it seems that the undergraduate is already confident." I would like to reward him with a few snacks as a reward......"

"Your Majesty, this is not a proper matter. Let other lifters see it, they will think that Banzai has a favoritism, and it will be unfair. ”

"Otomo, what do you mean?"

"The slave maid thinks that it is enough to reward another pack of palace cakes and a cup of hot tea, and besides, he still has to answer the questionnaire, and he can't always eat."

Wanli nodded, "Then let's do it." There was a hint of gloom in his eyes, but this emotion came and went quickly, Feng Bao's attention was in the hall, and he didn't care. Even if you see it, you only think it's a child who has a temper tantrum, and it doesn't take it seriously.
