"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Liu Jian, who came in, bowed and saluted, looking up at Zheng De in front of him, but he was slightly stunned. I haven't seen him for many days, and the whole complexion of this today's great tomorrow has become different. Anyway, there is an indescribable meaning, and it seems to be more confident than before. The whole person looks more like an emperor than when he first ascended the throne.

But it is also true, and now Zheng De is like a wild horse that has broken free, and he is more and more willing to act according to his own nature. Instead of just coming to this strange world, he always needs to act cautiously, and he can treat anyone in the court as usual. Even when I saw this Liu Jian, who was quite in awe at the beginning, I didn't have the feeling of fear before.

"Aiqing, please take a seat!"

Zheng De smiled and sat down first, and when he saw Liu Jian sitting down in front of him, he slowly spoke, "Aiqing, as my Ming Councilor, should call himself a 'minister' is the right thing." By the way, Ai Qing is no longer a court official as a parliamentarian, and she can walk around the world, why hasn't she returned to her hometown in Luoyang, Henan? ”

Liu Jian didn't expect that the emperor didn't directly ask about his intentions, but instead said something irrelevant first, this kind of home-like conversation was not seen by the two of them at all before, and they were all talking on business when they met.

This also shows from the side that the emperor has really changed, and it has become a little unexpected for him.

"There are still some things to deal with in the capital division, so he hasn't set off yet, and His Majesty is worried about it." Liu Jian also heard that the emperor was a little dissatisfied with his stay in Beijing, but he was not surprised to think that this great emperor used the retirement system to purge most of the old ministers in the court.

"The old minister came here because he hoped that His Majesty could answer his questions, is it true that His Majesty is ready to issue an order for the prisoners to directly participate in the examination?"

"That's right, but it seems that I just told the four pavilion elders about this, why did Aiqing know about it so quickly?" Zheng De looked at him with a smile, in fact, he knew after a little thought that it must have been Xie Qian who told Liu Jian, and these two good ones seemed to him to be able to wear the same pants.

Liu Jian had never seen the emperor's expression, but he said calmly, "As a member of the imperial court, the old minister should naturally have some understanding of the affairs of the court, right?" ”

Zheng De didn't expect that he would use his status as a parliamentarian to prevaricate himself, does this count as shooting himself in the foot?

He touched his nose with a depressed face, knowing that there was no point in dwelling on this matter any longer, and directly admitted, "Yes, I am indeed ready to do this, I don't know what Aiqing thinks?" ”

Liu Jian's slightly cloudy eyes revealed a sharp light, "The old minister thinks it's inappropriate, so that the child test and the township test Your Majesty are also ready to abolish or restructure?" ”

"Can't you?" Zheng De deliberately asked like this.

Liu Jian said in a rather serious tone, "Your Majesty, this is the ancestral system. ”

Zheng De looked at Liu Jian in front of him, who was also not to be outdone and looked at him. Looking at the determined gaze in his eyes, he understood that this matter was indeed not so easy to solve. But then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which made Liu Jian not understand for a while.

"I didn't say that it must be abolished or that the children's test and the township test should be restructured." Zheng De picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip of tea for a long time, and looked like he was in control, but he was confused when he saw Liu Jian.

"In the future, the children's examination will be directly changed to the two-level system of the county examination and the government examination, and it will become the graduation examination for the promotion of county schools to government schools and government schools to national studies. As for the township examination, as long as the students who have graduated from the government school and have a secondary graduation certificate can participate, the high school students of the township examination can become subordinate officials from the fifth grade or above, of course, if there is no national education graduation certificate, they cannot hold official positions above the fifth grade, what does Aiqing think? ”

Liu Jian didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing, so what Xie Qian said to him before was false?

No way!

He has been a micro-minister of Xie Qian's Tongdian for many years, so he naturally knows his character very well, and he is definitely not a cheating person. If so, then there is only one explanation, and that is that the emperor deliberately said this?

Thinking of this, Liu Jian was also shocked, if the emperor really did it intentionally, then what was the purpose of his doing this, was it to attract the ministers who opposed the court? But after it is introduced, does Your Majesty still want to purge the old ministers of the DPRK and China again?

This idea is really shocking, Rao is Liu Jian was also taken aback, and couldn't help sweating his shirt. If it weren't for the fact that he intervened sideways and went directly to the palace to ask His Majesty, I'm afraid that there would be another bloody storm in the court, right?

Zheng De naturally has no such idea, at least in the short term. He just wanted to take this opportunity to see how many diehards in the DPRK and China still clinged to the old system, and left time and opportunity to clean up slowly in the future.

"But Your Majesty has abolished the hospital test, and it is still a little inappropriate to change the children's test to a second-level system, which is really against the ancestral system." Despite this, Liu Jian still had the courage to say something.

Zheng De glanced at him lightly, "If you don't break it, you won't stand it, and if you break it, you will stand after it." Aiqing should understand that the real purpose of my imperial examination is to select talents for the Ming Dynasty, not to take the exam for the sake of the exam, and doing well in the exam does not mean that you can do well as an official. Therefore, the purpose of the procedure for reducing the examination is to let the scholars of the world step into the officialdom as soon as possible, so that the officials can get real training, if you are still in your thirties or forties and still holding a book all day to prepare for the scientific examination, don't you think this is really a waste of time? After spending so much time on books, how much do you think they will be able to use this knowledge after stepping into officialdom? ”

Liu Jian also felt that what the emperor said was indeed reasonable, but he still mentioned it, "Then the prisoner directly participates in the examination......

"In the past, it was directly recommended to those who excelled in county, government, and state schools to enter the country, but now they must take the exam to be selected, and only after all the candidates who graduated from the prefecture schools in the world take the government examination can the outstanding ones be enrolled. Do you think that such a person who can rely on the national eunuch will feel too much even if he has the qualifications to take the examination? ”

Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge!

This was Liu Jian's first reaction when he heard Zheng De's words, and he bowed his head slightly and no longer dwelled on this matter, but raised another question, "Then Your Majesty is going to let the imperial examination be held every year, will this lead to too many Jinshi being selected, I'm afraid there are not so many official arrangements at all, right?" ”

Zheng De smiled and waved his hand, "I have already made a decision on this matter, and in the future, every three years, all the officials of the Ming Dynasty will be inspected, and those who are not qualified will be dismissed directly." In the future, the imperial examination will determine the number of jinshi each year according to the vacancy. ”

Liu Jian didn't expect the emperor to be so courageous, but he didn't object to Zheng De's decision, but said, "Your Majesty, what about those people now?" ”

Seeing this, Zheng De seemed a little impatient, and he was not in the mood to directly talk to him anymore, so he said directly, "Three days later, I decided to hold a pre-imperial meeting in Wenyuan Pavilion, and Aiqing, as the speaker of all the members of my Ming Dynasty, is also qualified to attend, and I will explain everything on it at that time." ”

"The minister retired."

Liu Jian also woke up at this time, after all, this is the son of tomorrow in front of him, not a cat or a dog, he can answer all his doubts so patiently, and he is called a very generous generation of emperors, but he can't forget his identity as a courtier, since the emperor has now given an explanation, he will no longer stay and retreat.

"Your Majesty is so patient." Wang Tingxiang, who was on the side, suddenly said this.

Looking at his emotional appearance, Zheng De shook his head with a smile, "Only by making things clear can we do it better, but when it comes to patience, this is what I lack the most, and I still need to learn to be more calm." ”

looked at the direction in which Liu Jian had left, and said lightly, "Speaking of which, this former Lord Shoufu is also my inner demon." ”

Demons?

Wang Tingxiang didn't expect that a Buddhist term would pop out of the emperor's mouth, and he naturally understood what the demon was when he knew something about the Buddhist classics, but he didn't expect the emperor to give Liu Jian an evaluation, which was too unexpected.

Zheng De glanced at him lightly, and didn't explain anything, and after sitting back in the imperial case, he started practicing calligraphy again after sitting idle.

Wang Ting glanced at the emperor and sat back thoughtfully.
