Is this a scholar of the first Chinese? The prince continued to think deeply, and suddenly felt that this approach might not be too good, in the Han and Han dynasties, the emperor reused his relatives, and the result was not to make a big deal and coerce the imperial power?

"Father...... What you mean Erchen almost understands, but Erchen still doesn't understand something. Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but continue to ask, "The old courtier helped my family to conquer the world, and it is natural to give preferential treatment to Xungui in return, but if you keep reusing Xungui and letting Xungui fill the court and lead the army, I'm afraid it will ...... I'm afraid it's not very good, right? Will...... Will there be a big worry? ”

The prince said this very tactfully, and he was very nervous, because he did not dare to say it too seriously for fear that his words would cause trouble to those loyal nobles from heaven.

"There is nothing perfect in this world! My father weakened the inner court, so he had to rely on the outer court, and he always had to take some risks in everything! The emperor smiled, not showing any nervousness, "However, you are right, you can't be blindly confident in everything, let alone rely on only one party, so ...... It's not that my father didn't have other arrangements. ”

"Father...... Can...... Can you teach your children again? Although he knew in his heart that there were some things that even the prince should not ask too much, but the prince's curiosity made him unbearable, and he stubbornly asked his father, "Erchen knows that he is still young, and he has just participated in state politics, and many things may not be asked too much, if ...... If the father thinks that he shouldn't tell his son now, the son will slowly understand it later. ”

The emperor did not answer immediately, but stared at the crown prince for a while.

This child, before he knew it, had grown into a teenager, and under his own urging and teaching, he already had a very profound knowledge, even by the standards of the era before him, this is a very good child, let alone the current era.

What made him even happier was that the prince did not take pride or indulge himself because of his intelligence and status, as many people do, but maintained a modest and cautious attitude, and even that simple and resolute personality was well preserved.

Such a son, even if he is strict on the surface, how can he not like it in his heart?

Take this opportunity to teach him some lessons first.

"You are worried that our dynasty is the same as the Han Dynasty, the royal relatives and the wealthy families gather from generation to generation, and in the end, they will coerce the court instead of losing their tails, this worry is right, but it proves that you have a brain. There will probably not be any chaos in the reign of you and me, but the rulers should seek ...... for future generations," the emperor muttered for a long time, and then whispered to the crown prince, "Therefore, in a short time, I will bring in other forces to balance the nobles, so that they will not be so powerful that no one can control them." ”

"How should it be introduced......?" The crown prince subconsciously asked, and then soon had a flash of inspiration, "Father's meaning, is it to reopen the imperial examination?" ”

The crown prince studied the history of the country from many teachers. He also knew that during the Qin and Han dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties, China was dominated by wealthy clans, who held power and respected themselves, and dominated the world. It was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties that there was a imperial examination, and a large number of scholars entered the court through the imperial examination, and were cited by the royal family as an aid, and the power of the family gate lords was greatly weakened, so as not to become a force that threatened the imperial power.

His teachers all had the experience of studying and taking the imperial examination in the pre-Ming Dynasty, and they all had the dream of governing the country through the world, so they had always hinted to him intentionally or unintentionally that the imperial examination and the benefits of preferential treatment for scholars in the world were preferential, and the prince also felt that it was quite simple and fair to use the imperial examination to select talents in his own thinking, so he also hoped that the imperial examination would be carried out as soon as possible. It's just that because he was too young to discuss big politics, he didn't talk to his father about it.

He didn't expect that his father, who seemed to be disdainful of scholars and had always refused to open the imperial examination, had already made plans to open the imperial examination and recruit talents from all over the world.

The wisdom of the father is really extraordinary...... The young prince once again increased his worship for his father in his heart.

"However, the imperial examination is to be carried out, but it cannot be done hastily, at least not as before." The emperor frowned again, as if he remembered something unpleasant, "I am a scholar, I can't take any eight-strand essays, those sour articles are useless at all, and reading them can only make people read bad brains." Can you carry a gun and build a good cannon by relying on the Four Books and Five Classics? The imperial examination of my dynasty should be practical, practical! Counting, Gewu, and strategy are all a hundred times more useful than the righteousness of any sage, so even if the new dynasty conducts the imperial examination, it can only use these to win scholars. Otherwise, what's the point of the imperial court taking a bunch of useless waste to become officials? ”

Don't take the Four Books and Five Classics, but take the Mathematics and Calculation Theory? Although the emperor's argument looked strange, the prince was not very surprised when he heard it. For a long time, when he was by his father's side, the prince heard that the emperor had a lot of complaints about the readers who were addicted to the Four Books and Five Classics to take the Bagu Wen exam, and felt that they were useless scholars, who would only be full of righteousness, but they couldn't do anything well.

The prince also heard that most of the scholars and doctors of the former Ming Dynasty could only talk in the vernacular, and the governance of the country was not good at all, and after being admitted to the Jinshi and being awarded an official position, they did not understand anything, and in the end they could only rely on the staff and the secretary to help deal with government affairs, and some people were even completely ganged up by the officials below to set up a puppet.

The lessons of the former Ming Dynasty naturally cannot be unacceptable, so the crown prince also agreed with his father's opinion - the imperial examination should be held, and talents should be promoted from the local area and enriched into the court, which can not only make the governance of the country more effective, but also secretly check and balance the nobles, so that the nobles will not completely monopolize the power.

"Therefore, in order to do such a good job in the imperial examination, you must first educate the people, otherwise how many people will understand you in the arithmetic and policy examinations? The talents of the world have been poisoned by the eight forces for a long time, and they can't climb out at once......" The emperor sneered, "Therefore, in the past few years, our dynasty will vigorously develop culture and education, build schools in various places, and let a new group of scholars in the world read things according to the requirements of our dynasty, and then select talents from them." As for those sour and rotten talents, let them continue to be poor in the study. Also, not only should the imperial examination be used to promote civil servants, but also a martial arts school should be set up, so that young children can enter martial arts from an early age, learn all kinds of skills in warfare, gun and shipbuilding, astronomy and geography, which is not learning? In the future, the army will also use these students who have learned martial arts as officers, and let them lead the troops to fight! Not to mention the children of the common people, even if they are the children of the nobles, they must learn from them and choose the best of the best, so that the new dynasty can continue to have a cultural context. ”

In the following time, let schools be built in various places, select civil and military students to enrich the court, and then use these selected civilian elites to check and balance the nobles, and the prince finally understood the arrangement in his father's heart.

Then, he suddenly understood why his father was so keen to plunder wealth from outside—because if he wanted to achieve this, he would have to spend untold sums of money.

"This set of architecture is very different from the previous dynasties, so I had to go slowly, build it up and down little by little, and let the top and bottom slowly adapt. As long as the structure is completed, in the future, it is the cabinet and the army to check and balance, and within the civil and military ministers, it is the new gentry and the scholars and nobles to check and balance, so under the checks and balances, there is room for the imperial power to be exerted. It is to let them fight, and then the emperor is in the middle of it, left and right, to maintain a situation where they fight but not break, so that they have to rely on the royal family as an arbitrator, and in turn, they must support the royal status, understand? The emperor patiently explained to the prince, he was both serious and full of expectations, "You are the prince, and you will do it for me in the future, so I will tell you all these methods first, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, I have a lot of time to teach you slowly, I'm afraid you won't learn it seriously!" As long as you learn how to do it, then I will be able to hand over my country to you with peace of mind in the future...... Hey, I'm going to have to teach this to your son again! ”

These words of truth and joking made the prince's heart more and more excited, and even his breathing became short. He only felt that his originally ignorant gaze suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.

Originally, he didn't understand his father's statecraft, he only knew that his father was wise, and he only needed to obey his orders. Now, his father told him so thoroughly, which not only shows that his father is far-sighted, but also shows that in his father's heart, he has grown up and has become a person who can explain military affairs.

Maybe it's because his father values him so much that he arranged for him to go to Goryeo in person this time to take charge of the military affairs of the rear of the general plan......

I must behave well and live up to my father's expectations! He swore in his heart.

"Erchen, Emperor Xie!" Excited, he suddenly knelt down towards his father, "Father's policy, the sons must keep it in mind, and don't dare to forget it!" ”

"Why don't you dare to be so nervous? You should learn to learn, you should play, my father still has decades to do, I can teach you well, and I can structure the style of the new dynasty one by one, as long as the system is complete and runs smoothly, I am not afraid of big things. You don't have to be so nervous, the world is still up to your father! The emperor still had a smile on his face, and then patted the prince on the shoulder, "Since ancient times, it is right to have work and ease, although some of your performances are not satisfactory, but no one is perfect, and I don't require you to be perfect." Anyway, since I've taken your vacation, you can play with me, and when you are asked to do something, you can do things for me beautifully! ”
