"Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, are we really not going to visit the seat teacher and the house master?"

"Your Majesty has expressly decreed that the Han Dynasty and the first examiner shall not worship the chief examiner or the same examiner, and if there is any violation, the Metropolitan Procuratorate shall play and call the chief examiner as a benevolent man, a teacher, and a teacher, and shall not call himself a protégé. The Son of Heaven's move is intended to correct the promotion to the public court, but he is grateful for the vulgarity of the private room, which I think makes a lot of sense. “

Liu Jun was dressed in an ordinary straight jacket and a hat, and when he approached the German restaurant, he heard several scholars talking about it in the restaurant.

Their voices were not too loud, but there were not many people in the store at this time, so Liu Jun could hear them clearly without saying a word.

The corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't expect that there were still scholars in the restaurant, and he didn't expect them to talk about this matter.

Since the opening of the imperial examination in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the imperial examination system has become more and more guarded, and the country's selection of talents has mainly been based on the selection of talents. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination was even more prosperous, and there were hundreds of thousands of talents. Since the state selects scholars by imperial examination, and the examiner in the imperial examination controls the admission of the juzi.

Therefore, the examiner is particularly kind to the child. After the candidates of Daming are admitted, they must thank the examiner, call the examiner a teacher, a teacher, a teacher, call the same examiner a room teacher, and call themselves protégés.

Even slowly, this teacher-student relationship gradually evolved into a partisan relationship.

The students are in the world, near or hundreds of thousands of miles, far or thousands of miles, and the language and name are not understood. But as soon as you get to the department, there is a so-called chief examiner, who is called a teacher. Those who have the so-called same examiner are called room masters. The people on the same list are said to be the same year. The son of the same year, called the nephew of the year. The son of the seat teacher and the house master is called the world brother, and the seat teacher and the house master call the candidates protégés.

And the one who takes the middle among the protégés is called the grandson, and the grandson is called the teacher of his teacher, and he is called the teacher.

Originally, it was just a normal examination procedure for the state to select talents. This is arranged by the imperial court, and the candidates also follow the system to take the exam, and it is normal for the candidates to be admitted because the candidates' abilities are sufficient.

This is a matter of business, fairness and justice, and there is no need to give grace and receive favor. But since the Ming Dynasty, this relationship has changed rapidly, you have accepted me, and you are my mentor. I'm going to admit you, you're my private person.

Thereupon. After the meeting, the first thing the new tributes did was to go together to thank the master and the master. Even later, it was not only the local test, but also the township test.

Scholars from all over the world, scholars and officials of the imperial court, they passed a imperial examination, and they quickly established relationships and formed an intricate network of relationships. They even often form friends with the DPRK and China.

In the party struggle of the Ming Dynasty, many of the same party members were formed by these relationships in the same year as the protégés of the teacher.

Liu Jun, of course, did not want to see this vice of the Ming Dynasty continue.

In this year's imperial examination, Liu Jun did not follow the tradition of the Ming Dynasty and used the second assistant as the chief examiner. Instead, Secretary of Civil Affairs Li Banghua was selected as the president of the examination, and at the same time, he also selected more examiners. Later, an edict was clearly issued, prohibiting candidates from recognizing as a teacher, and not allowing them to call themselves protégés. No thanksgiving and gifts.

The imperial examination is a fair selection examination of the state, and it cannot be an opportunity for the examiners to show favors and favors, let alone officials and candidates to take advantage of it. With this pundo.

In fact, this ban was as early as the Northern Song Dynasty, but the ban was endless, and in the Ming Dynasty, it intensified, Liu Jun even issued several edicts to state this matter, and on the day of the trial list, he sent officials from Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Metropolitan Procuratorate and other supervision departments to guard in front of the houses of various examiners.

At that time, many scholars hurriedly rushed to the palace of Li Banghua and other examiners, and wanted to worship Xie Enmen despite the imperial edict. As a result, without exception, his name was registered, and then he was warned.

This time, the verbal warning will be added to the name once, and if there is a repeat offense, the qualification of the tribute will be directly disqualified, and even the severe one may be punished by a ban from the examination, and the most serious one will be banned from the examination for life.

Seeing that the imperial court was so stern, many excited tribute students finally went back.

The scholars admitted by the imperial court, the scholars did not thank the imperial court or the emperor, but they had to thank the examiner, how difficult it was for Liu Jun to endure. Even if you want to thank Shien, you should be grateful to those real teachers who teach you knowledge, not those examiners who admit you, this is not Xie Shien, and it is also called not a teacher, Liu Jun will never allow it.

"Are you confident in the future Urgis exam?"

A scholar changed the topic, and the relationship between the disciple and the disciple is now forbidden by the imperial court, so these scholars are very smart and don't talk about it. Of course, it is a good thing for Gongsheng to worship the master, they were just ordinary scholars, and those who can serve as the seat teacher, according to the Ming system, the main examination is generally the second assistant, and the rest of the same examiners are at least the Shangshu, the deputy capital of the imperial history and other high-ranking officials in the court and the central government.

If you worship a disciple or a house master, you can quickly get several powerful backers in the court, which is naturally very helpful to their future careers. And for those examiners, these young new science and technology scholars are all upstarts in the future court, and pulling a hand early is also a help, which is of course very beneficial to them in the future or for their own family descendants.

It is in this situation that the worshippers are so popular. Now that the imperial court does not allow the worship master, it is certainly a loss for the candidates, but if everyone is the same, it is acceptable.

"I heard that this year's Shu Jishi only selected 30 people, hundreds of thousands of scholars in the world, and finally 3,000 people and 600 jinshi were finally examined. Now it is a Shujishi, and it is only 30 quotas, which is really a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops. A scholar sighed.

"Brother Taichong, Brother Yanwu, and Brother Baishi are the most free, you don't have to take the exam again, you pass the palace exam, and you are among the top three."

The three people that the person said were the first and third in the current department, Taichong Huang Zongxi, the president of the Fu Society, the undergraduate champion, and even the three yuan in the middle school, the township test solution yuan, the meeting test Huiyuan and the palace test champion, the name moved the world, and the four younger brothers who took the same exam with him also all won the Jinshi, so the five brothers of the Huang family were on the same page, and Huang Zongxi won the champion in the middle of the three yuan, which has become a hot topic today.

After Huang Zongxi Lianzhong Sanyuan became the champion, he was immediately appointed by the emperor to revise it for the Hanlin Academy, which was an official position of the seventh grade.

Gu Yanwu, Gu Jikun and Chen Baishi, Chen Mingxia, are also leaders of the Restoration Society, and this time they were appointed as Bangyan and Tanhua respectively, and the two of them were both awarded the editors of the Hanlin Academy, and they were the eighth officials.

This is also the special treatment of the first class, there are only three in the first class, the champion, the list eye, and the flower. According to the convention, the three of them went directly to the Hanlin Academy, which was called Guanzheng in the Ming Dynasty.

During the Ming Dynasty, the officials of the Hanlin Academy had a twofold meaning. The first is to be a member of the cabinet who participates in the preparatory service, and the cabinet members are called scholars, so the cabinet and the Hanlin Academy are one and two, and the two are one, which is also the origin of the late Ming Dynasty that only those born in the Hanlin can enter the cabinet. After its inception, not only the cabinet, but also the six ministers also formed an unspoken rule that the Hanlin officials must be filled.

The Hanlin Academy of the Ming Dynasty also included the duties of the secretary and supervisor in the Tang and Song dynasties, the history museum, the writing bureau, the living room, and the housekeeper.

Hallymin Temple is also extremely noble.

However, in the Han Dynasty, although the names of various ministries and offices were used in the Ming Dynasty, their responsibilities had changed greatly. It's like the cabinet of university scholars from the past five to the current one. The responsibilities of the Hanlin Academy have also changed greatly, and if it is said that the celebrant has now become the secretariat of the emperor's palace office. Then the current role of the Hanlin Academy has become the emperor's secretarial body outside the palace.

In comparison, the duties and powers of the celebrants are heavier, they serve the emperor anytime and anywhere, and the Hanlin Yuan is also completely separated from the cabinet, undertaking part of the secretarial affairs, and their clear responsibilities are to control the affairs of the edict, the annals, and the Wenhan, and there is also a system of examinations, detailed documents, and the duties of the advisor to the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, they are actually quite important.

Although now the pattern of the Han dynasty has changed. There is no longer the old rule that the six main departments and the cabinet must first go through the Hanlin, but after all, according to the new system, ordinary people who have passed the jinshi must first go to Jingshi University for four years of study. Including two years of study, two years of internship experience in the ministry and the provincial government, before the official can be officially awarded, and at the beginning, he can only start from the eighth rank official. You have to go to the county to start as a second official.

And the first and third places, not only can they get huge praise such as champions, but they can also directly enter the Hanlin Academy. As soon as the champion enters, it is the seventh product, and the list eye and the tanhua are also directly the eighth product, which is equivalent to saving four years of career time compared to other jinshi, not to mention starting directly from the most noble Hanlin Academy.

This group of scholars is Huang Zongxi and others.

The first three are all here, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu and Chen Mingxia, in addition to Xia Yunyi, Xu Fuyuan, Huang Chunyao, and Yang Tingshu, who are also the leaders of the current Restoration Society, and they are all brilliant talents. It was under their leadership that the Fushe originally established by Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai and Zhang and the Jiangnan Societies was originally only based on the eight shares of the Tang and Song dynasties, but now under the leadership of Huang Zongxi and others, they advocate the study of applying the world to the world, care about and study social issues, pay attention to the people's livelihood, and oppose empty talk.

This time, the seven people were listed together, and among the more than 300 reference lifters of the Restoration Society, there were more than 100 new science and technology scholars, which can be described as a great prosperity.

The people of Jingshi and the students of Shilin have even given the seven people a title, the Seven Gentlemen of the Restoration Society.

This is also the emerging talent of Shilin who has won the praise of the people after the seven gentlemen of Donglin and the four sons of the Fushe Society.

Liu Jun was followed by a big boss of the East Factory, as the head of the East Factory, he could also follow the emperor's micro-service to go out on patrol, so he was naturally very effective, and his eyesight was even more extraordinary. He only glanced over there for a few moments, and he recognized them.

"Childe, over there are the Seven Gentlemen of the Restoration Society and the Five Talents of Jiangnan."

Liu Jun, the Seven Gentlemen of the Restoration Society, has heard that Huang Zongxi and others have been popular all over the world recently, and there is also a credit to him, if he hadn't been specially promoted, Huang Zongxi would not have even been selected as Huiyuan, let alone hand-picked the champion Lianzhong Sanyuan.

The big boss explained it softly next to him.

"Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Chen Mingxia, Xia Yunyi, Xu Fuyuan, Huang Chunyao, and Yang Tingshu are all new science and technology scholars, and they are all leaders of the Jiangnan Restoration Society, so the people of the time called the Seven Gentlemen of the Restoration Society. And Wu Weiye, Chen Zilong, Wu Yingji, Zhou Zhong, and Gu Gao are all from Jiangnan, and they were also leaders of the Fushe Society, but they all went to the field early, and now they are all in Beijing as the chief of the six or seven products, and the middle officials of the matter. ”

When Liu Jun heard Wu Weiye and other names, he was also a little impressed. Wu Weiye was a protégé of Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, and Zhang Pu was still a jinshi in the same department. Wu Weiye's poetry is very good, and he is a genius in today's poetry circle.

He first gave Hanlin to edit, and later served as a Qing nobleman such as the East Palace, and now he is the son of the Wupin Zuo.

Chen Zilong is a ten-year jinshi of Chongzhen, served as a Shaoxing magistrate, and is now in charge of the seven-grade military department.

The other three are also mostly in their early thirties, and they hold official positions in Beijing with six or seven grades.

"Your Majesty, do you want to avoid it?"

These people have basically seen Liu Jun, and the head of the squad is afraid that they will recognize the emperor. Liu Jun smiled, he changed his clothes today. It's also changed slightly, and now it's just an ordinary edit, I'm afraid that these people won't recognize it even if they see it.

"It doesn't matter."

The seven gentlemen and five talented men over there didn't notice Liu Jun, and they didn't expect that this ordinary scholar was actually the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty they had seen.

"I entered the Hanlin Academy first, but I can't escape the study classes at Beijing Normal University, and I have to study while doing things, and the two years will definitely not be easy." Chen Mingxia said with a smile, saying this, but he was happy in his heart.

"I heard that the thirty people selected for the Shu Ji Shi examination also have to enter the Beijing Normal University to take classes."

Over there, Wu Weiye said with a smile. "I know some news about this, it is said that Brother Taichong's three first-class and thirty selected Jishi only need to go to the Hanlin Academy for two days a week, but it has to be a substitute shift on Saturday and Sunday, you still have to go to Beijing Normal University from Monday to Friday, and you can't miss a class."

When he said this, he even laughed a little gloatingly.

Sure enough, when Huang Zongxi and the three of them heard this, they all collapsed. Thinking about the next two years. Except for the winter and summer vacations, the rest of the time I have to go to school five days a week and work two days, so I can't help but feel that it will be a long two years.

"That's a good thing for you. Hanlin Academy works part-time for two years, and then you can be delegated to the local office, and when you finally go to the local area to serve as an eight-rank petty official after four years of hard work in the same year, you are at least the head of a county and the county governor. ”

Every Jinshi has to enter Beijing Normal University first. And you need to go to the ministry and local government for internship first, and you can officially confer an official after four years, and you must also start from a county official. It's not that you should be the county magistrate as soon as you come, but you must start with the county magistrate. Under such a system, Huang Zongxi and his peers are not a little or two points higher than the Jinshi of the same year, which is a lot higher and saves several years.

"It's good in this way, at least after sinking, you can understand the local facts, know the people's suffering, and won't be deceived by those traitors."

"I heard that the imperial court will go east to Japan, attack the south and attack Donghu next year, and also go north to the Jurchen west to conquer Moxi?" Gu Huowu asked Chen Zilong, after all, he was in the military department, and he must know more about this matter.

"Well, there are several big battles to be fought in the imperial court next year, so it can be regarded as attacking from all sides." Chen Zilong nodded.

"Wouldn't it be too dangerous to go to war on several sides?" Huang Zongxi couldn't help but ask. As early as a few years ago, the Ming Dynasty was still suffering from internal and external troubles, and was repeatedly attacked by soldiers, and the people suffered greatly from the wars in various places. Unexpectedly, now the Han Dynasty can not only break the Jurchens in the east and suppress Mongolia in the north, but now it is also planning to send troops from all sides at the same time.

This kind of country's prosperity makes them literati feel very proud, especially now that everyone is either a court official, or a new science and technology jinshi, they can be regarded as half an official, so they are more and more happy about the strength of the Han Dynasty.

"It is said that there is a war on all sides, but after thinking about it, the court is not arrogant. The combat power of the Han Dynasty officials and troops is also clear to the world, and in the past few years, the southern and northern expeditions have not been defeated. Not to mention the standing army of one million armies of the Han Dynasty, equipped with advanced guns and artillery, and now there are a large number of reserve armies of the fierce Mongolian Jurchens and other princes, it is naturally no problem to guard against Western Mongolia, and it is naturally no problem to add a small country in Donghu. ”

"The imperial court was able to break the Jurchens before and subdue the Monan and Northern Mongols, but could it still not defeat the Mongols in the Moxi?"

Everyone nodded for what they said, in recent years, the powerful combat power of the Han Dynasty is indeed obvious to all.

"A million standing troops, and the soldiers and horses of the Moxi tribes are doubled, and they are not our opponents. They are still holding bows, arrows, and long knives, but we are already equipped with firearms and cannons, how can flesh and blood be able to defeat the cannon of thousands of catties and ten thousand cannons? ”

"As for Donghu, they are not much better than those Yi Miao Tusi in Yungui. The imperial court had put down the Southwest Tusi rebellion in just a few months. Let me tell you, after the defeated Tusi army fled to Donghu, they relied on the remnants of the defeated army to besiege the capital of Donghu, and Donghu has not been able to relieve the siege of the capital so far. You say, what are we worried about in such a Donghu country? ”

"Haha, this Donghu is too weak, right?"

"The Southwest Yi people and the country, how strong can it be, if the imperial court does not send troops, it will be wiped out at any time."

All the scholars couldn't help but be excited, so that the court could win no matter how it fought.

"As for Japan, it was indeed inseparable from the Ming Dynasty in Korea back then, and it was indistinguishable. But today's Japan is not stronger than when it fought Korea, and what about our Han army? It's always ten times stronger than the Ming army in Wanli, right? Not to mention, the sea is full of our navy's warships, giant ships and cannons, thousands of them. ”

Chen Zilong said very confidently, "Fighting Japan, that is a matter of pinching the snail with three fingers and catching it with your hands." ”

"It's just that sending troops to fight Japan for no reason is also considered an invasion, I have always been benevolent and righteous, I'm afraid this is inconsistent with the sage's thoughts." Zhou Zhong said.

Chen Zilong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Is Japan good?" Back then, when the Japanese invaded our southeast, how many people's families were ruined and their wives were separated? Besides, in the Korean War that year, how many big men died in battle, and the horse leather shrouded in corpses? Although Japan is located in the East China Sea, the wolves are very ambitious, and they always want to bite us when they have the opportunity. ”

"Strike first, strike later and be controlled by others, I am in favor of the imperial court attacking Japan."

The rest of the people have also seen their own opinions, although there are also those who oppose the invasion of other countries and the provocation of war. However, most people still feel that there is no warmth between countries, and Japan has always been dishonest, so of course we cannot be polite to them.

Some people also took the Ming Dynasty as an example, the Ming Dynasty blindly closed the door and lived their own life, and as a result, neighbors from all sides came to bully. Looking at the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and other countries thousands of miles away, even a small country with a population of only one million people can fight all the way to the gate of China from thousands of miles away.

Liu Jun stood at the door and listened for a while, he was very satisfied with these gentlemen and talents, these elites who represent the scholars of this era, their concepts have finally begun to change, which is an excellent thing.

Waving his shirt, Liu Jun finally stepped into this long-lost German hotel again. (To be continued.) )
