Chapter 721: It's not a good thing to forget two things
Throughout Fang Congzhe's entire officialdom resume, he is inseparable from the Qingliu Cichen, from the Guozi Priest to the head of the Hanlin Academy, his experience, the most related is the school and the Hanlin Cichen.
And these two are precisely the source of most of the fresh blood in the officialdom, especially the incident in Sinong Temple, in the eyes of most of the courtiers who are not of high grade, it seems that the Son of Heaven is angry with the ministers for the title of Xu Guangqi, and finally the ministers compromised, but the bigwigs in the court understand that the Son of Heaven is breaking the rule that non-Jinshi is not awarded three grades for the old ministers of the palace.
But in Fang Congzhe's eyes, he saw something deeper, this is one of the benefits of being an old minister of the Son of Heaven's mansion, because he stayed by the Son of Heaven's side for a longer time, he was more aware of the Son of Heaven's temperament, and he could more accurately understand the meaning behind what the Son of Heaven did.
That is, the Son of Heaven is already very dissatisfied with the situation of the monopoly of the imperial examination scholars!
Fang Congzhe is familiar with the temperament of the Son of Heaven, so he is more familiar with the habits of the Son of Heaven.
Sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently, this poem is the most suitable to describe the Son of Heaven, in fact, the ministers have been guarding against the rectification of the officials, just at the moment when the Son of Heaven visited the Si Nong Temple.
Therefore, Fang Congzhe boldly guessed that breaking the rule that non-jinshi should not give three grades may be just the beginning of the reform of the Son of Heaven, and next, the Son of Heaven must carry out greater reforms for the imperial examination.
As soon as he thought of this, Fang Congzhe remembered that in the first edict of the Son of Heaven ascending the throne, the Son of Heaven only said two things, one is to re-establish Sinong Temple, and now it has seen results, the new type of various waterwheels have now officially transferred the drawings to the Ministry of Industry, it is said that its ingenious conception even many masters of the Ministry of Industry are amazed, after testing, it is determined that these waterwheels can be competent for a variety of terrains, if they can be built throughout the country, they will be able to greatly reduce the impact of drought on the people.
As for the sweet potato seeds, not to mention, the dozens of baskets of sweet potatoes excavated on the spot are still piled up in the homes of a group of court tycoons, reminding them of the exploits made by Sinong Temple all the time, which is a meritorious feat that can make Xu Guangqi sit on the ground and upgrade to a higher level, which shows how much role the ministers thought was just a soy sauce Si Nong Temple!
In addition to the re-establishment of Sinong Temple, the second thing solemnly proposed in the edict of the Son of Heaven on the throne is to add a grid to the Guozijian and count two subjects, and the edict ordered that the examinations of these two subjects be held together with Enke, is this just an accident?
Old man Fang felt that it was not, and judging from the matter of Cheese Nong Temple, Fang Congzhe vaguely understood the intention of the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven deliberately weakened the situation of the dominance of the imperial examination family and enhanced the influence of the Guozijian!
Knowing this, Fang Congzhe naturally knew what he should say, and after a pause, Old Man Fang continued to speak.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, the Guozijian is my dynasty Taixue, the teaching style is not solemn, the study is not fine, it is the fault of the minister, dare not shirk, self-please, but His Majesty said that today is not for accountability, but for the officials, so the minister boldly said, the disadvantages of the Guozijian, not only in the Guozijian, in the early years of my dynasty, the Guozijian had countless Confucian predecessors lecturing, the imperial court treated the prisoners and scholars equally, so the prisoners were good at schoolwork, and did not dare to slack off. All enter the township and do not want to enter the Guozijian to study, and those who enter the Guozijian are mostly hopeless in the imperial examination, intending to enter the officialdom with the Guozijian as the rank, and they are quite old and have a slippery heart, and their natural quality is not good. ”
When it comes to the matter of Guozijian, Fang Congzhe, who has served as the Guozijian priest for several years, is considered to be an old man, in fact, he has also made a lot of efforts to improve the atmosphere of Guozijian's style of study, but the fact is that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, compared with the imperial examination, Guozijian is congenitally disabled, not to mention the congenital disability, the most important thing is that the development potential after the emergence is very different.
In this way, who is willing to give up a good future to come to the country?
Rather than destined to sink into the subordinates, it is better to fight for that glimmer of hope while you are young, as long as you can get the imperial examination, it is the sea and the sky, and the road is bright!
In this way, the source of life is not good, and the development potential is even worse to death, even Fang Congzhe, who has the intention to rectify the Guozijian, can only helplessly find that if the status of the Guozijian does not improve for a day, then the Guozijian will always be this half-dead.
But on the other hand, how can Guozijian compare with the imperial examination and improve his status compared with the imperial examination?
Not to mention anything else, Fang Congzhe knew in his heart that if he really wanted to investigate, the probability of an accident for an official from Guozijian would be much higher than that of an official from Jinshi, this was not Fang Congzhe's self-indulgence, but a fact.
After years of comparative treatment, the quality of the prisoners has indeed been so bad that they are not enough to be entrusted with important tasks.
However, now that the meaning of the Son of Heaven has been figured out, the current situation of the Guozijian may have a chance to improve......
After staying in Guozijian for so many years, Old Man Fang naturally has real materials.
"The minister thinks that if you want to suppress the style of education, emphasize your studies, and improve your morality, you should be lenient in and strict out, send a minister who is honest and strict to take charge of the national prison, strictly enforce the standards of the profession, and improve the quality of the students of the national prison, so as to curb the possibility of violating the law and harming the people after entering the official career from the source, Your Majesty can issue an edict to invite the prestigious Confucian elders of the people to enter the country to teach, so as to emphasize the study of the national prison and improve the talents of the prisoners, followed by the selection of officials in the ministry, which is the top priority, forgive the ministers for being rude, the root of the disadvantages of the national prison is not in the country prison, but in the Shilin court, Eliminating professional standards is a symptomatic policy, and only when the officials select officials and judges are treated equally, is the only way to cure the root cause......"
The more Fang Congzhe talked, the more he tended to be unable to hold back, until he noticed that the corners of his clothes were quietly pulled, and he was silent in confusion.
When he looked up again, he saw that Li Tingji and Sun Piyang were frowning, and their eyes looking at him were also very complicated, and the Son of Heaven had a calm face, and he couldn't see his joy and anger, but he didn't have a smile.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ye Xianggao, who had just pulled the corner of his clothes, but seeing that the latter's eyes were full of worry, Fang Congzhe immediately snorted, and fine beads of sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead, and he arched his hand.
"Minister...... The minister lost his words, please surrender your majesty! ”
