Chapter 1097: Reforming the Imperial Examination (2)

"Ministers and others knock to see Your Majesty!"

Zhang Tingyu and the others were not on duty today, and they did not stay at the military plane, but scattered to various departments, but Hongqing was called, and the three of them did not dare to have the slightest slackness, so they hurried to the palace of nourishing the heart.

"Excuse me, just settle down."

Facing everyone's big salute, but when he saw Hongqing raising his hand weakly, he already called out kindly.

"Thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhang Tingyu and the others didn't know what was going on, but when they saw that except for the nominal Minister of Military Aircraft of the Fourth Master and Li Minquan, who had long been sick at home, all the ministers of military aircraft had arrived, and they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in their hearts, and they were all guessing what was going on, but in front of Hongqing, no one dared to talk nonsense, so they could only suppress the uneasiness in their hearts and thank them according to the rules of the court.

"Wait for all of you to stand down."

After Zhang Tingyu and the others got up, Hongqing did not rush to say anything, but waved his hand at Li Dequan and the others, and gave the order with a solemn face.

"Wow!"

As soon as Hongqing Chrysostom opened like this, Li Dequan and other eunuchs who accompanied him did not dare to slack off, and bowed down to the promise, and under the leadership of Li Dequan, they withdrew from the hall in a hurry, and when they saw this, Zhang Tingyu and others couldn't help but feel a little more nervous, but fortunately, everyone was a minister who had a good kung fu in cultivating qi, even if they were worried in their hearts, they were all calm and calm on the surface.

"Hengchen, the three of you arrived late, and you haven't yet understood what you want to discuss, and you have read this fold before you can discuss it."

After Zhang Tingyu and the others stood still, Hongqing did not rush to say anything, but picked up the book that had been resting on the dragon case and threw it to Zhang Tingyu casually.

Whether it is Zhang Tingyu or Shen He are Confucian children, as for Lang Erheng, although he was not born in the imperial examination, he was also a Confucian when he was young, and he naturally knew what was mysterious about the Bagu Wen, and he knew very well that it was difficult to get the real talent by relying on the Bagu Wen to take scholars, most of the Jinshi were just some sour Confucianism, and it was indeed difficult to come in handy, the problem was that the disadvantages of the times were the disadvantages of the times, and it was obviously not easy to change the status quo, after all, the history of the imperial examination has a long history, If you really want to reform the imperial examination, you are afraid that the world's scholars will rise up and make trouble, and the consequences must not be easy to play, because of this concern, even if everyone thinks that Wang Siqi's excerpt makes sense, but no one dares to speak out, and they all stand silently in the hall, putting on a well-behaved appearance of listening to the hadith.

"Let's talk about it, how is this fold?"

Hongqing was a shrewd individual, and as soon as he saw the contemplative expressions of the people, he knew what was going on in the hearts of the ministers of military aircraft, and he did not want this silence to continue endlessly, so he was the first to open his mouth to break the silence.

"Qi Zheng Xià, the minister thinks that the imperial examination is a national policy, although it is insufficient, but it is also quite fair, if it is not necessary, it is not suitable to move lightly."

Since Hongqing opened his mouth to ask, Zhang Tingyu, as the second-ranked Minister of Military Aircraft, naturally did not dare not answer, but he was cautious by nature, and when he couldn't figure out Hongqing's intentions, he was very cautious in answering.

"Well, Heng Chen's words are indeed the way of the old Cheng to seek the country, but I don't move, others are afraid that they will not give up, my fourth uncle does not make a name for me to keep me busy, he is afraid that he will not be able to settle in the room, however, then again, although Wang Siqi's excerpt has ulterior motives, but the truth is still right, the imperial examination is indeed a great shortcoming, looking at the scholars of our dynasty for decades, the pillars of the country are of course, but the sour Confucianism who does nothing is afraid of more, and there are many hypocrites mixed in the meantime, which shows that the way of the imperial examination is in terms of social governance, I'm afraid that the pros and cons are when Sanqi is opened, maybe it should be easier to do it, do Zhong Aiqing have a high opinion on this? ”

Although there is only Zhang Tingyu who answered, but in fact, the ideas of several other military ministers are not very different from what Zhang Tingyu played, in this regard, Hongqing knows very well, but he is not moved, but he explained patiently, there is no side, only these five people present are Hongqing's right-hand men, if even they do not approve of the reform of the imperial examination, then don't expect the reform of the imperial examination to be carried out at all.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you have any specific regulations?"

Takami? At this time, how can there be a very high opinion, don't look at the people present are all the pillars of the society, but if you don't encounter such a big article as the imperial examination innovation, how can you come up with a very clever trick, it is obviously wrong to say more, in this case, the ministers of military aircraft are only left to look at each other, after a long period of silence, in the end, Ma Qi is the most courageous, gritted his teeth and asked Hongqing.

"Ma Aiqing's question is good, I haven't thought it through yet, but there are a few ideas that may be implemented, and it will be said, and you Aiqing will take a closer look."

How could Hongqing not know that he suddenly threw out such a big proposition, but asked everyone to say that he was ugly on the spot, which was obviously too embarrassing, but he still asked, is there only one purpose, that is, waiting for several ministers of military aircraft to ask about the charter themselves, obviously, Ma Qi's question was exactly in Hongqing's arms.

"Ministers respectfully listen to His Majesty's instructions."

All the people present have worked with Hongqing for many years, and they know that Hongqing often has some unexpected ideas, and they can often work wonders.

"Heng Chen also said before, the way of the imperial examination is related to national policy, it is indeed not to be neglected, I also think like this, however, the disadvantages of the imperial examination have appeared, do not make a plot early, there will be a big trouble after a long time, not to say, just take the proposed examination questions as an example, the four books and five classics are put together in a total of so many articles, all provinces, prefectures, and counties must be examined, and the proposed questions must not be repeated, so that the examiners also have to come out of the machine to express, take the broken questions, parallel questions, not to mention that the candidates see inexplicably, I am afraid that the examiners themselves are confused, and it is really a muddle for the test, Being tested is more confused, generally you are blinded by me, I am blinded by you, what results can be achieved, it all depends on the personal taste of the examiner, the so-called fairness is difficult to guarantee, not to mention the selection of talents for the country, therefore, I think that it is imperative to reform the imperial examination, however, it must be scored for it, and it must not be achieved overnight. ”

Hongqing was never short of patience, especially when faced with such an important proposition as the reform of the imperial examination, and he did not rush to explain the specific regulations, but patiently analyzed the necessity of the reform of the imperial examination.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have no objections."

The most worried about the ministers of military aircraft is that Hongqing will have the possibility of making a rash move in this matter, and now, Hongqing has shown that the reform will be slowly promoted, and everyone is much more relieved, and it is reasonable to praise the last one.

"Well, since Zhong Aiqing thinks that it should be gradual, I will not rush forward, well, let's say so, I plan to spend ten to twenty years to implement the reform of the imperial examination, the first one is to fully open the wisdom of the people, this one, will be used as the national policy of my Qing Dynasty, specifically, I plan to open more new schools, first in Gyeonggi, Shandong, Shanxi and other places as a pilot, and then gradually promote to the whole country, and finally to achieve the goal of every county has a new school, generally speaking, the new school is divided into primary schools, Middle school and even the university three components, of which the primary school must be popularized to the counties, the middle school is first popularized to the provinces, whether the follow-up to the county, it depends on the situation, as for the university, for the time being, only in Beijing to set up a comprehensive university and a normal college, teaching not only the four books and five classics, but also mathematics, physics, chemistry and other subjects, the school system, in general, tentatively five years of primary school, four years of middle school, four years of university, all levels of schools are selected to admit, and finally can graduate from the university, choose the best to enter the office, As for the rest of the university graduates, they can enter the Academy of Sciences of the Qing Dynasty, or join the joint-stock enterprises under the State Investment Corporation, and they can also start their own businesses, and I intend to spend twenty years to gradually replace the imperial examinations, during which the imperial examinations can be held as usual, but the age of the candidates must be specified, so that we can ensure that the current activities are not affected by innovation, and can also ensure that the new schools at all levels can be extended, which is basically the meaning, as for the specific regulations, I still need to spend some time to sort out, It is not too late to deliberate in detail, and it is only necessary for you to have your views on the general procedure of the revolution of which I have spoken. ”

Hongqing has long had in-depth consideration of the imperial examination, and the reason why he has not moved is not because he doesn't want to, but because the time is not ripe, as for how to innovate, Hongqing has already had mature thinking in his heart.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister, if you do what you say, I am afraid that it will be expensive, and it is difficult to reverse whether the manpower and financial resources of the court can support it, so the minister thinks that it must be carefully considered."

The ministers of military aircraft are actually no strangers to such a thing as the academy, after all, there are not only three military academies but also two navigation academies and six technical colleges under the Ministry of Industry in the Qing Dynasty today, and the big guys also know that the students trained by these academies are in short supply every year, and they are really in demand, the problem is that the annual expenses of these colleges are not small, if they go according to the regulations of Hongqing, then the silver taels required will really go to the sea, and the ministers of military aircraft will not be worried about it, this is not, Marzi couldn't help but question the first.
