Chapter 12: March Enko

The dust has settled on the Liaoyang disaster relief and corruption case, and the early dynasty will continue.

Next item, March Enko.

Lu Cheng was thinking that this official had made a lot of moves, and he had vacated a lot of positions, just to fill the pit with the new science and technology jinshi.

LΓΌ Cheng announced to the courtiers: "I intend to convene Enke today in March to replenish the talent pool of the imperial court. ”

The ministers replied in unison: "Holy kindness, this is the blessing of the world's students"

This is a great thing, the children of the family have one more chance, and they also have more possibilities to walk in the officialdom.

Especially those families whose children were imprisoned in black prison for their children involved in the Liaoyang corruption case, those who walked in the officialdom shouted the loudest.

The lost children can no longer be saved, but they need to seize this opportunity to make up for the lost ones.

"This time, Enke, I have decided to merge Qianke and Kunke!" Lu Cheng dropped a depth charge.

When Taizu (Kaiyuan Emperor Lu Yu) wanted women to have the right to take the imperial examination, it can be said that he succeeded by eliminating the difficulties of ninety-nine eighty-one.

At the beginning, all the ministers were opposed, if it weren't for the fact that Taizu's military power was firmly in his hands, I am afraid that the heavens of the Great Zhou Dynasty would have been overturned by the courtiers.

The number of jinshi places in this imperial examination is already very small, and it is already very difficult for the big families and the poor families in the world to compete for the quota of a hundred jinshi, and Taizu still wants women to participate in the imperial examination, isn't this dividing their vested interests!

The head can be broken, the blood can flow, and the benefits of swallowing cannot be vomited!

It was the first time that the family and Hanmen had cooperated in so many years, and they were resolutely not allowed to allow women to participate in the imperial examination. Our cake, even if you are the founding emperor, cannot be moved.

That is the pressure that even the predecessor Taizu Lu Yu can't bear, and all the officials are boycotting the court, and the operation of the court has become a problem. Originally, the veteran strategists who followed Taizu to fight the world were all opposed.

In the end, Taizu was forced to compromise. Taizu divided the imperial examination into the Qianke and Kunke. 100 male jinshi were taken from the Qianke department, and 100 female jinshi were taken from the Kun department. Kunke only takes scholars in official families. That's actually an extra 100 places.

Some young ladies from families can be said to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if they pass the exam, there will be one more child in the family who walks the court.

Superfluous, free, who doesn't like that?

Some families with daughters, whose daughters were also gifted, betrayed the ranks that opposed women's participation in the imperial examinations.

In the end, the proposal for women to participate in the imperial examination was thus passed.

During the period of Taizu and Taizong (Yuanfeng Emperor Lu Lang), both Qianke and Kunke were held equally every three years.

During the Yuanfeng period, Taizong further promoted the world's women's talent and talent to be divided into two lists.

But Kunke is a little powerless. Xiucai and Juren have little impact, but they do have a great impact on female jinshi. Sometimes I hold it when I think about it, and I don't hold it when I'm not happy. This is equivalent to Kun Ke not being able to get out of Jinshi. The fewer female officials who have the right to speak in the central government, the fewer times Kunke will hold it, and the fewer times it will be held, the fewer female officials in the central government will have the right to speak, so it is a vicious circle.

The way that Lu Cheng thought of to make women enjoy the right to the imperial examination in a sustainable way was to merge Qianke and Kunke.

Although this may screen out many women who are not skilled in their studies, and even the number of people who are finally admitted is not as large as the number of Kunke who is admitted. But it's good in the long run.

Kunke can't do it if you want to, but the imperial examination can't be stopped!

If you dare to stop the imperial examination, the world's scholars will tear you apart.

And in this way, after fighting, the Jinshi position will be more cherished, and the atmosphere of Kunbang is too tepid!

When Lu Cheng proposed to merge Qianbang and Kunbang, as Lu Cheng expected, the ministers were all opposing.

"Holy must not!"

"Shengshang, Qianbang and Kunbang are the ancestral system set by Taizu, and they can't be changed."

"Holy Lord, you should also think about women. Why did the Holy One put so much pressure on the woman? ”

"Holy ......"

The ministers' reasons are always one set, maybe Lu Cheng was once fooled, but now she has learned to go in and out of the left ear and out of the right ear, without leaving a trace in her mind.

Lu Cheng listened to their quarrel quietly, and when they were tired of arguing, she said: "I merged the Qianbang and Kunbang for the sake of all the students in the world. There are so many students in the world, both men and women have to fight for no more than a hundred places. I have decided to increase the number of students in the Jinshi Department to 300, and students from all over the world, regardless of gender, can compete fairly! ”

Increasing the number of students in the Jinshi branch is another depth charge.

This time, the voices in the court were no longer only opposed, and the voices became mixed. The officials of the imperial court began to argue.

Dou Zhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, opened his mouth and said: "The minister thinks that what the Holy Lord said is feasible. ”

At this time, an official retorted: "You Dou Shangshu, don't take everyone for fools!" Dou Shangshu's youngest son passed the township test the year before last, but the ranking didn't seem to be ideal. This time, Nkolingro must give it a try! According to Dou Xiaolangjun's ranking, Enke is afraid that this time he will not be hanging. ”

"But no, according to Dou Xiaolangjun's ranking, if the quota really increases to three hundred, the odds of winning are not nine out of ten, you Dou Shangshu dare to say that he has no selfishness?"

Dou Zhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is not muddy, he argues with reason: "Even if my youngest son is off the list this year, as long as he studies hard for a few more years, he will definitely be able to win."

Dou Zhang first used the young son to show that he was not selfish, and then he began to fire at the two officials who were looking for trouble: "I think it is you who are really selfish!" It is said that you all have candidates in your family who are preparing for the exam, and they still fail the test repeatedly, are you afraid of something? ”

"Nonsense!"

"Rumors!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Lu Cheng looked at the chaotic image of the quarrel in the court, and really couldn't understand the meaning of the existence of the early dynasty, it was really inefficient.

The pawns at the bottom are actually not interesting no matter how noisy they are, and the important thing is to look at the people who hold the power.

The old rules, what should I do if the court quarrels endlessly? Ask the three weather vanes, and the situation will be much clearer.

Lu Cheng decided to choose one of the three deacons to answer the question, saving the three deacons from "eyebrows and shame answers", and no one refused to suffer a loss, so he expressed his opinion first.

"Zhu Qing, let's talk about it first, is it good or bad to merge this Qianbang and Kunbang?"

"I think the advantages of merging Qianbang and Kunbang outweigh the disadvantages." Zhu Hong felt that the imperial examination was to select talents for the dynasty, and those who failed to make the list could only be regarded as mediocre talents, so what was the use of leaving a group of cowards and mediocre talents who were even afraid of competition?

As soon as Zhu Hong's words fell, some people stopped speaking out in an instant.

"Xie Qing, what do you think?"

"The minister agrees with what Zhu Xianggong said, and the integration of the two lists is indeed more beneficial than disadvantageous." What Xie Yun thinks is that anyway, he Xie Jialangjun is full of wealth, and the ladies of the Xie family also have talents, what is he afraid of in the Xie family.

There are many people who have the same idea as Xie Yun, and the court is quiet again.

In fact, at this time, the dust has settled, Lu Cheng asked Li Yu or not, the question is not too big, but it is not good to ask the two rulers to fall Li Yu. For the sake of harmony in the court, I'd better ask by the way.

"What do you think about Li Qingke?"

Li Yu had already guessed that Lu Cheng was asking him, but the only thing he didn't expect was that he was actually asked by the way.

Li Yu replied unhurriedly: "Back to the saint, the minister thinks that what Zhu Xianggong and Xie Xianggong said is very reasonable. But the minister still has a question, if there is a situation where there is no female jinshi, then is it against the original intention of Taizu? ”

Oops? Lu Cheng was surprised, Li Fox didn't play Tai Chi anymore? This is a sharp enough question.

Lu Cheng replied: "The dynasty opened a science and learned from the scholars, and it is a virtuous talent, and let the students of the world rely on their own abilities!" ”

After listening to this, Li Yu said: "There is no problem with this minister." The ministers supported the Holy Lord's decision. ”

Lu Cheng laughed after hearing this, this old fox, he was afraid that she would be angry because there were fewer female jinshi after the two lists were combined!

At the end of the early dynasty, Lu Cheng announced: "The three Zaizhi and the six Shangshu will stay in the early dynasty and wait for me in the Taiji Palace." ”

Then Wei Zhongxian shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty-"

……

After the early dynasty, the news of the integration of Qianbang and Kunbang spread in Kyoto.

The families who flew pigeons released the pigeons to pass on the news to the family.

When there are more places, there are naturally more students who feel that they have hope.

Enko in the first year of immortality will be very lively!

Kyoto Xue family.

"Sister, sister, I heard that Your Majesty has merged Qianbang and Kunbang into one." As soon as Xue Min, a jack of all trades, heard the news, she hurriedly ran to Sister A's study and reported the news to Sister A, who wanted to walk in officialdom.

"Xiao Shu (Xue Min's words), how old are you, can't you be calmer?" Although Xue Qian taught Xue Min a lesson with words, the spoiling in her eyes could not be faked, and she had a good relationship with this sister.

"Got it! Got it! Sister, have you heard, the two lists are one! The two lists are one! Sister, you can finally compete with those ranks. Xue Min didn't care about Sister A's lesson, anyway, it wasn't once or twice, she actively admitted her mistakes and died without repentance.

"Is the message accurate?" Xue Qian's face was not obvious, but her clenched hand did show that she was not calm in her heart!

"Of course, Your Majesty has already announced it in the court, and the three ministers have also agreed!"

"Good! Good! Good! Xue Qian couldn't help but say hello three times in a row. In fact, what she hates the most is the ugly face of some people who despise Kunbang and who are on the list.

Say anything, if it weren't for Taizu and Taizong, how could there be anything to do with Kunbang. If you talk about the unity of the places on the two lists, and let women and men compete together, I'm afraid that it will be a good result for those little ladies to fall at the bottom of the list!

Xue Qian was already completely burning.

She Xue Qian is not weaker than others in her life, so she must take this opportunity to slap some ugly-faced hypocrites hard.

It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip away.

There is also the fact that she wants to compare with Xie Yuan of the dry list. She is Kunbang Xie Yuan, she Xue Qian has to compete with the strongest people, and the first and lower are all mediocre.

She, Xue Qian, only strives for the first!
