Chapter 264: Martial Arts
Hearing that he was named and arrested, Liu Chenxing was not surprised, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and sure enough, he came.
Her Majesty the Empress and the Prime Minister discussed matters and suddenly summoned her over, it must not be as simple as just letting her read a policy, and of course it is not possible to let her show her face in front of all the bigwigs in advance, and let everyone see that Her Majesty the Empress is not wrong to open a female imperial examination, which is very wise.
There may have been a sudden pie in the sky, but apparently she didn't encounter it.
Only then did he receive some glory, and then there would be a corresponding sacrifice.
Or you can look at it from another angle, this is the interview question given to her by the empress.
With this understanding, the direction of how to answer this question is very clear - that is, to satisfy the Empress.
But whether there is this understanding or not, you have to be clear, all the opportunities and platforms she has now are given by the queen, and all she has to do is to make the queen feel that she is a good employee.
So how do you answer to satisfy the Empress?
What the empress wanted was to reform the imperial examinations.
At present, there are more than 50 kinds of subjects in the imperial examination, such as Xiucai, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Junshi, Ming Law, Ming Characters, and Ming Calculation.
Xiucai is too difficult, and there are very few who can pass, and Gaozu, the founding emperor of the Shen family, was abolished.
Other subjects such as Ming Law, Ming Characters, and Ming Arithmetic are to cultivate and select talents in arithmetic, astronomy, calendar, and other aspects, but they are not taken seriously.
Only Jinshike is the most valued and referenced.
Therefore, when the world mentions the imperial examination, the first thing that comes to mind is Jinshi, and in later generations, Jinshi and the imperial examination are equated together.
Now that the palace examination has been added, there is nothing to be drastic in the reform of the Jinshi department, at most it is to continuously improve the system and prevent fraud in the department. And you can't eat a big fat man in one bite, the Jinshi Branch has increased the palace examination, and constantly improved the status of the imperial examination like later generations, and determined the merit of the three levels of Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi, so as to finally weaken the right of the scholar clan to control the selection of talents, and it has to be done step by step.
Yes, regarding the reform of Jinshike, it is definitely not what the empress wants.
If she dares to bring up these things now, it will undoubtedly offend the scholar clan a lot, and the empress will have to give face to the five surnames and seven sects, and it is difficult to say whether she can be saved at that time.
In this way, it is impossible to talk about Jinshike, and more than 50 kinds of subjects, such as Ming Fa, Ming characters, and Ming arithmetic, are not taken seriously, and it is useless to talk about them.
Excluding them one by one means that there is nothing to say about the content of the current imperial examination.
Liu Chenxing's mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly thought that the empress would not reform the current imperial examination.
The conclusion flashed through his mind, and Liu Chenxing had an answer that satisfied the empress in an instant!
Martial arts!
Increase the martial arts!
At present, there are more than 50 kinds of subjects in the imperial examination, which almost involve the professionals needed by all walks of life in the country, but there is no martial arts examination!
There is also this world is obviously a parallel world of the Tang Dynasty of the Celestial Empire, and the historical process before the previous dynasty is exactly the same as that of the Celestial Empire, and Wuju was created by Wu Zetian, the only female emperor of the Celestial Empire, and it is very likely that Her Majesty the Empress of this world wants to increase Wuju!
Grandpa Mao said that power comes out of the barrel of a gun.
The current generals are almost all heroes who followed the two emperors of the Shen family Gaozu and Taizong to make great contributions, and the empress wants to make her rule solid, and she must have generals who are promoted by herself.
What's more, since she was summoned, the empress has mentioned several times that she is the beneficiary of the palace examination, and also said that the palace examination was proposed by Uncle Liu. And Uncle Liu told her before that when she proposed to the empress to open an additional palace examination, she mentioned that the palace examination was the first thing she thought of.
Because she mentioned increasing the palace test, it is very likely that the empress thinks that she may be able to propose an increase in martial arts, which is probably why the empress summoned her.
Thinking of all of the above, Liu Chenxing felt that everything made sense.
No longer hesitating, Liu Chenxing bowed to the empress and said respectfully: "There are more than 50 kinds of regular subjects in the current imperial examination, which can be said to include talents from all aspects, but generally speaking, they all belong to the category of 'literature'. The imperial court appoints officials, there are civil ministers and military generals, but today's imperial examination only has the 'literary' subject, and there is no 'martial' subject, Yichen believes that the current imperial examination reform, when the military examination is increased, to give the world military and martial arts talents, a chance to show revenge, in order to do 'people to the best of their talents'. “
When Liu Chenxing said, he kept his head down.
Although I can't see the expressions of the empress and even everyone, I can also imagine how shocking the word "martial arts" will be when it comes out.
Sure enough, the tail fell, and the Zichen Hall seemed to be audible as if a needle had fallen.
For a moment, there seemed to be a tense atmosphere in the air.
But she was already prepared in her heart, even if she felt all kinds of eyes on her, Liu Chenxing was not very nervous, anyway, she said everything, this is also the best answer she can think of, now it depends on whether the empress wants the answer of "martial arts".
Liu Chenxing bowed his head and saluted, quietly waiting for the assessment of the empress, the interviewer.
The empress looked at Liu Chenxing, who bowed her head and saluted, although her face was calm, but her heart was turbulent.
If it weren't for her many years of court career, and for too long, she would have been accustomed to wearing the mask of the emperor for herself - joy and anger are invisible, and she is afraid that she will show surprise at this moment.
Yes, she was amazed.
She summoned Liu Chenxing to the audience, but she thought that Liu Chenxing's essay was a good starting point, and more importantly, Liu Wensu had revealed that the idea of the palace test came from Liu Chenxing at the beginning.
Therefore, she summoned Liu Chenxing, just to make Liu Chenxing boldly say that he would add some subjects for the imperial examination, so as to trigger a discussion among the ministers, and finally talk about the result she wanted.
But she never expected that Liu Chenxing would directly say the answer in her heart - "martial arts"!
The empress stared at Liu Chenxing deeply, and in her mind, she was recalling that she had revealed to anyone that she meant to increase the "martial arts".
No, she was absolutely sure that she hadn't mentioned it to anyone.
Even Ouyang Zijin only knew that she had the idea of increasing the imperial examination program, and her niece Zheng Wanqing's essay in the palace examination was more than novel, but it was not what she wanted at all.
But now, Liu Chenxing, a little lady who is only fourteen or fifteen years old, is still a peasant girl who grew up in a rural mountain village, and she knows her thoughts better than Ouyang Zijin, who has been by her side for more than 20 years!
No, it's not.
It's not that Liu Chenxing knows her thoughts better, but that Liu Chenxing actually thought of it with her.
Realizing this, the empress looked at Liu Chenxing, who was saluting respectfully.
Not long ago, Liu Chenxing's words in prison rang in his ears again.
Eat the king's luck, and be loyal to the king.
Without the empress, there would be no her Liu Chenxing today.
A talented person who is highly compatible with her, and he is so loyal.
The empress's slightly drooping phoenix eyes bloomed with surprise.
