With a large number of vacancies in the imperial court, Yang Tinghe was finally promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If there is no precedent of Sun Jiao's exceptional promotion, he is actually quite satisfied with being able to achieve his current position at his age. However, with this precedent in the past, there is a more excellent Zhang Shu dangling around him. It also made his pampered and unfazed heart that he had cultivated for many years shake a little, but with his quiet and cautious character, he naturally would not show it.

When he heard that the emperor summoned him to help with this Enke test question, Yang Tinghe was a little surprised, shouldn't this matter be handed over to the Ministry of Rites to do? "Although he is the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, he really has no right to make decisions about this kind of thing.

As if seeing his doubts, Zheng De told everything that happened today.

Yang Tinghe Wenyan fell into deep contemplation, thinking that the emperor not only wanted to abolish the Baguwen, but also changed the scope of the first examination to no longer be limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, and even he didn't know where the emperor's bold idea came from.

However, in fact, he thinks that his attitude towards the composition format of Baguwen is dispensable, but he thinks that the scope of the first exam cannot be changed. Like everyone else in this era, they were all Confucian disciples, and naturally they were opposed to this kind of thing.

However, if you say this directly to the emperor, I am afraid that I will really fall out of favor in front of the emperor, and even if I have the aura of the emperor, I will no longer be able to cover myself. In fact, he may be a little keen on fame and fortune, but he really wants to do something for the people of the world. Perhaps this is also the excellent quality of Confucian disciples - loyalty and patriotism.

This is also the reason why the feudal rulers vigorously promoted Confucianism!

Of course, he thought more deeply about how to make himself occupy a more important weight in the emperor's heart. In fact, when Zheng De had just ascended the throne, Yang Tinghe rarely got involved in everything in the court. After all, with the identity of the emperor, the status or something is at your fingertips, and then showing your face obviously leaves a bad impression on others who are keen on fame, it is better to sit back and wait for the situation to change naturally, and it is not easy to attract criticism.

It's a pity that because of Zheng De's arrival, his plan was disappointed, and with the rapid rise of Wang Jing and Sun Jiao, he was even more shaken by the fact that he was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai. As a result, he finally had to pull down his face and go to his senior brother to pull a relationship. After all, it's a senior brother, and it's nothing. However, for Yang Tinghe, who hopes to ascend to the position with his own ability, it is indeed an unspeakable shame.

However, nearly a year of dormancy is not a bad thing for Yang Tinghe, as a bystander, he sees things in the DPRK and China more clearly. Based on the various performances of the emperor since his accession to the throne, it is estimated that nine times out of ten, this student also wants to implement a change like the great kings of all dynasties, so that the Ming Dynasty can return to the peak of prosperity. However, he is not absolutely opposed to this kind of thing, after all, with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, some things should indeed be changed, but they should never be changed into chaos.

However, it is clear that the emperor did not know how to be flexible when doing this, and the final result was strong opposition from the courtiers, resulting in many things in vain. Although in the end, the emperor used a retirement system to purge most of the old ministers in the court, which surprised him, but it was far from the level of real control of the court political situation. And Wang Jing and Sun Jiao, who were exceptionally promoted, are just a new person for the emperor, and their attitude towards the emperor is the same as that of other court ministers to the emperor, and it is obviously far from talking about confidants. This is also the reason why the emperor is even more powerless in the face of all kinds of rumors in the court. If he helped the emperor at this time and helped him stabilize the situation in the court, his status in front of the emperor would have risen greatly, even surpassing Wang Jing and Sun Jiao.

And this time Enke took the office, but he realized that this was an opportunity.

"Your Majesty, how do you think you should make the test questions?" Yang Tinghe asked, obviously wanting to try the emperor's bottom line first.

"What do you think?"

Zheng De subconsciously asked rhetorically, in fact, he had no clue how to come up with the question. Of course, he is not completely clueless, if according to his idea, in fact, an exam should be changed to a comprehensive type of exam, such as mathematics, geography, history and other subjects mixed together, testing a person's vision and comprehensive cognition. However, if the question is really asked like this, it is estimated that almost no one will be able to reach the 60 passing mark in the first round of the entire scientific examination.

In this case, there is no point in asking questions like this!

Yang Tinghe carefully considered and said, "The first scene is no longer limited to the eight-strand format according to His Majesty's wishes, as for the second and third scenes, the questions are still in accordance with the previous regulations, what does the emperor think?" ”

Zheng De frowned slightly when he heard this, "Why don't you reset an exam?" I think it's too narrow to take the questions from the Four Books and the Five Classics, what do you think, sir? ”

"Your Majesty, there are not many days left before the February exam starts, and if you change the exam questions again, I'm afraid it won't be too late." Yang Tinghe didn't answer, but suddenly reminded him.

Zheng De reacted when he heard this, and he was angry with a few elders, but he forgot that it was already the end of January. The exam is also called the spring because it is in the spring, and the exam starts on the ninth day of February every year, and it is obvious that it is only ten days away from this time, and it is obviously very catch-up in time to reset an exam. Of course, there is no way, and it is okay to postpone. However, it is obviously difficult to change this kind of old rule that has been followed for hundreds of years, and he no longer has the energy and ideas to quarrel with the ministers of the court.

Is there another compromise to be made?

Zheng De pondered for a long time, and finally made a final decision, "It's better to do this, Enke no longer limits the number of eight-strand essays in the first game, and no longer limits the number of words." Try the "Four Books" righteousness three ways, change to righteousness two. The four righteous paths of the Five Classics were changed to three righteous paths, each of which was ten, for a total of fifty points. The second test is a one, the edict table is one inside, there are five sentences changed to three, a total of 50 points, as for the third question question, I will come out personally, a total of 100 points, and the ranking is based on the total score of the three points, what do you think? ”

Since he couldn't achieve his expected goals, Zheng De changed another way to achieve some of his ideas. The score system is obviously a good way to reduce the weight of the first and second exams in the minds of the test takers, and also to avoid the examiners neglecting the second and third exams. Even if the selection of topics is not expanded, if you think about it in the long run, it will definitely reduce the idea of the world's scholars to immerse themselves in studying the Four Books and the Five Classics, after all, it is only fifty points, and it is really not worth spending all your thoughts on it.

"Your Majesty, are the scores in the first and second exams too low?" Yang Tinghe still said with some hesitation. He is not averse to the point system, but he feels that the total points of the first and second games are only equal to the third game, which seems a little inappropriate.

"What is it that governs the country? It is certainly not the Four Books and Five Classics, but the current political policy. In the past, the examiner only focused on the eight strands of the first game, but now I want to reverse this trend, so I will increase the score of the third game. Zheng De is rightly arrogant.

Regarding the emperor's somewhat unreasonable statement, Yang Tinghe didn't say much. Because he can also see that the final decision of this great tomorrow is also compromised.

"I'll leave the first and second exams to Mr." Zheng De said earnestly.

Yang Tinghe finally agreed, it is rare to seize an opportunity to perform, and it will definitely not work if he doesn't grasp it.

Looking at his departing back, Zheng De also sighed. In fact, the reason for the compromise was not only because of the persuasion of Wang Tingxiang, Yang Tinghe, and the two, but also the obvious non-cooperation of the four cabinet elders, and the reaction of the government and the opposition next, which forced him to make this decision. If he did it again, he would obviously fall into a very passive situation, which he did not want to see.

This Xie Qian is really a bad thing, should he be driven out of the capital?

Someone thinks so, and they are secretly plotting.
