The atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace was a little dull, but Fang Congzhe's words were extremely smooth, in fact, this was also the conclusion he came to after thinking for a long time in the appointment of the Guozi Priest Wine.

If you want to improve the status of the prisoners of the country, in addition to starting from yourself, there is also a very important point that to eliminate the prejudice against the prisoners in the officialdom, only by opening the upward channel of the prisoners can we truly break this vicious circle and make the Guozijian become a true Taixue.

But Xu was too serious, and Fang Congzhe forgot the taboo in the court for a while.

Above the court today, the distinction between clear and turbid currents has long been not an unspoken rule, but a clear rule, the jinshi is a clear stream, and the prisoner is a turbid stream, during which the barriers are strict and difficult to cross, it is no longer a secret, but the rules of officialdom that prevail.

Even in the official documents of the imperial court, it is not uncommon to see the distinction between clear and turbid streams, which is the result of attaching importance to the imperial examination since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and not anyone can change it.

It is an indisputable fact that the status of Jinshi is higher than that of prisoners, and the status of Jinshi should be higher than that of prisoners, which is a deep-rooted concept of all people.

At this time, when it is said that when the officials are elected, the Jinshi and the prisoners are treated equally, which will be regarded as favoritism and malpractice by the Shilin and court officials, which is an unfair treatment of the Jinshi.

It is conceivable that once Fang Congzhe's words are spread, not only in the court, but even in Shilin, it will cause an uproar, and the ministers present will be under extremely huge pressure if they count one or another, and even because of Li Tingji's identity, it may also cause Shilin to reject the people in the imperial party, and such consequences are not just talking.

On a whim that Fang Congzhe just said, he forgot about this taboo, and at this moment, he was reminded by Ye Xianggao, and immediately sweated like a spring.

"Because of the sinner, not the way of the king, today I and you Aiqing are just chatting in private, and what they say is a secret discussion, and they can't be counted without court discussion, and don't spread rumors and disturb the hearts of the people!"

After a while, the Son of Heaven slowly spoke, with a hint of solemnity in his tone, which suddenly shocked everyone's hearts, and hurriedly bowed his hand.

"Don't dare!"

As for Fang Congzhe, he breathed a sigh of relief gently, and his nervous mood relaxed slightly.

The meaning of the Son of Heaven's words is to warn them not to talk nonsense after they go out, and with the Son of Heaven's warning, Fang Congzhe can finally rest assured.

However, what Mr. Fang said is not unreasonable, the imperial court set up the Guozijian to provide talents for the imperial court, and now the Guozijian education industry is not prosperous, and the prisoners have no intention of learning, which is also a major disadvantage of the imperial court! It's just that although I call the three ways at the same time, but the imperial examination is important, students want to be promoted, when there are decades of hard study, and the entrance threshold for prison students is not high, and the standards for graduation are not implemented, so the talent is not enough, and the virtue is not shown, how can it be compared with Jinshi Qingliu! ”

Sighing secretly in his heart, Zhu Changluo's brows furrowed slightly, and he continued to speak.

He had already noticed the problem of Guozijian, and Fang Congzhe guessed well, the reason why he solemnly put forward Guozijian separately in the enthronement edict was because he had the intention of improving the status of Guozijian.

However, unlike what everyone imagined, Zhu Changluo did not intend to maintain the traditional Guozijian education model, but had his own ideas.

Of course, no matter how he wants to reform the Guozijian, there is an important question in front of him, the way out for the prisoners!

Fang Congzhe's words are admittedly taboo, but this is also a problem that he can really feel as a Guozi eunuch, an official from Guozijian is congenitally inferior, and his development potential in the officialdom is seriously blocked, and there is almost no room for improvement, which will inevitably lead to the inmates having no intention of learning and only seeking to quit their jobs.

But at the same time, Zhu Changluo will not blindly suppress the imperial examination because he wants to enhance the status of the national eunuch, or that sentence, the imperial examination system as a highly developed way to select talents in ancient China, has a very mature model, and also has a very unbreakable status, to put it bluntly, the imperial examination has been carved into the bones of the Ming Dynasty after so many years of evolution, if you want to start the imperial examination, it will affect the cornerstone of the entire Ming Dynasty in minutes.

What's more, the imperial examination system has a reason for the exclusive respect of one side, and its cruelty is completely incomparable with that of the Guozijian.

A Bai Ding, who has no merit, can officially become a member of the Jinshi and have the qualifications to officially set foot in the officialdom after six rounds of assessment of the county examination, the government examination, the hospital examination, the township examination, the meeting examination and the palace examination.

Except for the palace examination that only ranks second and does not brush people, the first five exams are enough to keep more than ninety percent of the scholars out of the officialdom.

After such a difficult exam, in the end, it is on the same starting line as the inmates who have been studying in the country for several years, is it fair?

So even if you want to reform, you can't do a one-size-fits-all approach, as an emperor, Zhu Changluo needs to maintain a high degree of sobriety at all times, he will never ignore the reality for the sake of reform, and he will not feel that he has the knowledge and experience of later generations, so he will be arrogant.

"In my opinion, what Mr. Fang just said, it is appropriate to be strict in the style of study, to mention studies, and to emphasize morality, if I remember correctly, now the wine of the Guozi Priest is still vacant, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's true, since Fang edited and transferred to the Ministry of Rites, the Guozi Priest Wine has been temporarily vacant, and the officials of the Ministry have not yet selected officials!"

As soon as the Son of Heaven asked, Sun Tianguan was suddenly a little stunned, and took two steps forward.

In detail, this is his mistake, you must know that the original Guozi priest wine was Fang Congzhe, but since Fang Congzhe was transferred to the Ministry of Rites and the head of the Hanlin Academy, this position has been vacant and no one has filled it.

However, this can't be blamed on Sun Tianguan, the position of the Guozi Priest Wine is not a difficult and urgent position, because the first emperor has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so there have been more vacant senior officials in the imperial court over the years, and the officials can only follow the urgent position arrangements first.

It's just that at this moment, the Son of Heaven opened his mouth to ask, but Sun Tianguan couldn't help but blush.

"In this case, these days Sun Aiqing will hand over a note to the people, list a few candidates, this time is different from the past, the style of the national superintendent has not been prominent for a long time, this election, when the means are effective, integrity and honesty are the key, in addition, Mr. Fang said that the matter of calling the folk Confucianism into the national superintendent to teach, I remember when I first ascended the throne, I had issued an edict to seek talent, how come this time, there is no movement?"

Zhu Changluo waved his hand, and didn't care, this really can't be blamed on Sun Piyang, to blame his lazy father, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, there are always some government affairs that are difficult to reach in a timely manner, such as the selection of some high-ranking officials, the emperor has to nod in person, but in recent years, his father's health has become worse and worse, and he doesn't pay much attention to non-military affairs, which has led to a large number of vacancies in the court, and the officials have tried their best.

However, Sun Tianguan escaped the catastrophe, but Fang Congzhe's face suddenly became bitter.

Because when the Son of Heaven first ascended the throne, he did issue an edict to seek talents, recruit the world's great Confucians, who are good at counting, and Gewu entered Beijing to teach in the country, and this file should have been done by him, but these days, he was busy choking with Li Tingji, but he left this matter behind......
