Chapter 639: Merit-seeking Order
The Ming version of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was officially established, which was of great significance to Zhu Changluo, but in the eyes of a group of courtiers, it was really not a big deal.
To put it bluntly, the re-establishment of Sinong Temple will not involve the interests of most courtiers, and this new Sinong Temple does not have much authority, but the imperial court's treasury expenditure has increased by an additional amount.
But the court is the court, and the ministers are the ministers, as long as their own interests are not involved, these ministers are not willing to go against the emperor.
Therefore, Wang Xijue paused slightly in the edict, and saw that the whispering voice below gradually returned to calm, so he coughed lightly and continued to read.
"And to the official, the country's heavy weapon, I am the imperial examination to pull out talents, the great victory of the previous dynasty examination and other systems, but the saint has the gentleman six arts said ceremony, music, shooting, royal, calligraphy, mathematics, although I have a literary examination to test the rites and music, there are martial arts to measure the shooting of the royal, the number of monopolistic counts in nothing, I think it is a big fallacy, but the imperial examination is a major event of the country, can not be moved, so I intend to set up a number of calculations in the country, two subjects of things, widely issued a merit-seeking order, call the world to be proficient in this way to enter the country to be a professor, recruit students from all over the world to enter the country to supervise it, in order to make up for the shortcomings of my imperial examination! And with the new emperor ascending the throne, when the opening of Enke, to the first year of Taichang in the next year as the year of the big comparison, plus the opening of Enke, the number of the country's superintendents, and the two subjects of Gewu are measured at the same time! Tell the world, the salty envoy knows, admire! ”
Wang Xijue's voice stopped abruptly, and in the slightly shocked gaze of the ministers, he slowly put the scroll in his hand back and retreated respectfully.
That's it?
The ministers followed everyone in a daze, shouting long live the order.
I still can't believe it in my heart, there is such a uproar, the emperor and Yuanfu joined forces, and the first edict of the new emperor who sealed the news tightly, said these two trivial things?
Si Nong Temple will not talk about it, it is a formal yamen that is included in the regulations of the imperial court, although Si Nong Siqing has no real power, but in the end, he is a high-ranking official of the third grade, and the level is there, which can be regarded as a big move.
But what's going on with this merit-seeking order?!
In fact, this merit-seeking order is not too big, but too small, and it can't attract the attention of the courtiers at all.
The new emperor ascended the throne, granted amnesty to the world, and opened Enke, this is a common thing, and it is not surprising.
As for recruiting people from all over the world who are good at counting, and the generation of things has joined the country as a professor, in the eyes of the courtiers, it means that the emperor has begun to do his job again.
If it is placed in other dynasties, the emperor must be educated well if he does not do his job.
But this is the Ming Dynasty, a dynasty where more than half of the emperors are not very serious, and the courtiers have long been accustomed to this behavior of the emperor.
But counting up the one in front of him, his father, the first emperor opened a mining tax and made a lot of money, his grandfather, Emperor Sejong was superstitious about Taoism, recruited Taoist priests all over the world, and even sealed the so-called national teacher, which is much more than this.
Even Emperor Xuanzong, a rare diligent emperor in the Ming Dynasty, also liked to promote weaving, and did things to promote weaving from all over the world.
And the most unreliable thing is the incident of Emperor Xianzong, who simply promoted officials according to his own preferences, which can be said to have caused a lot of complaints among the courtiers.
With countless lessons from the past, the courtiers are much more tolerant of the current talent-seeking order.
After all, this is not a bad thing, although most of the courtiers don't think that this so-called counting and gewu are of any use, but the emperor has moved out the six arts of the gentleman, and they don't have much to say.
What's more, the emperor did not send internal officials to conquer himself, second, he did not say that he would grant them serious official positions, and third, he did not break away from the imperial court system.
This level of nonsense is still acceptable to the courtiers, after all, they are just a few professors and doctors of the country.
is still the same sentence, it does not involve the real power of the court, so let the emperor mess around.
What's more, the emperor didn't say that it should be awarded casually, and the procedures for the selection and assessment of Yiyingquan still had to follow the imperial court, but the content of this assessment changed from eight shares to counting and gewu.
Although it is said that in the first edict of the new emperor, these two things are so solemnly brought out to say that everyone is a little surprised, after all, the first edict of the new emperor represents the authority of the emperor.
Courtiers usually don't have a long eye to come out against it, so the emperor will take this opportunity to install his cronies in some important departments, which is the usual unspoken rule.
However, our majesty seems to be unclear, and there is no mention of the transfer of court officials throughout the article, but it is just a symbolic revival of a few old ministers.
But in any case, it was the emperor himself who wasted such a good opportunity, and it was not so simple to think of such an edict that courtiers would not easily object to in the future.
What makes the ministers, especially the bigwigs, uneasy is what happened to Zhang Juzheng!
Others don't know, but the ministers of the cabinet are clear that the emperor's intention to overturn the case for Zhang Juzheng is genuine, and it is definitely not a fraud.
Originally, they only thought that it was Motosuke who persuaded the emperor to give up the idea.
But today's court made them feel a little wrong, if it was really Motosuke who persuaded the emperor, how could they be so close.
What's more, none of the current ministers have come into contact with the emperor on the first day, and they know in their hearts that the character of our majesty is by no means a person who changes his course easily.
If Yuanfu really persuaded him to give up overturning the case for Zhang Juzheng, it would never be something that could be done with empty words, what compromise did they reach between them?
Or is it not that Motosuke persuaded His Majesty, but that he was persuaded by His Majesty in turn? That's why the two of them work together so much?
A heavy cloud of doubt hung over the hearts of the ministers, lingering.
"This edict is the first edict after I succeeded to the throne, and all the secretaries should do their best and not slack off! Okay, do you still have government affairs to play? ”
On the throne, a smile appeared on Zhu Changluo's face, and he said lightly.
The cabinet ministers in front of them looked at each other even more, and the first court meeting of this enthronement ceremony was already a formality, so could it be true that someone would discuss government affairs on this occasion......
"Your Majesty, the minister has this to play!"
Before the thought in his heart was finished, he heard a clear voice sound.
An official in a six-rank official robe held a wat board, walked slowly to the center of the main hall, and knelt down.
When they saw the identity of this person clearly, the hearts of the ministers were even tighter.
Director of the Literature and Anthology Department of the Ministry of Officials, Yang Lian!
The director of the Anthology Division is only a sixth-grade person, and he is inconspicuous above the countless courtrooms of the third and fourth grades, but the name Yang Lian is not unknown to the bigwigs present.
The old minister of the palace, and when he was in the emperor's palace, he was one of the few officials who were personally promoted, although the official position was not high, but he could be called the henchman of the emperor's henchmen.
The nerves of the ministers suddenly tensed, because they knew that I was afraid that the next step would be the real court!
