Yin Zhen knew that it was a matter to change the type of questions in the imperial examination, so he was naturally happy.

As for the causes of this imperial examination reform, we have to start from the year before.

When the end of the year was approaching last year, Kangxi was busy with various government affairs, and judging from the concerts presented from various places, there were many commonplace problems.

Let's not talk about the big problems, let's talk about some small problems, for example, new officials in some regions often do not know how to govern their own jurisdiction.

There is also the fact that some officials use the same methods when governing their own jurisdictions, and the methods used are all the old routines mentioned in the book, although the governance methods are good, but because the human and physical environments are different in each region, the same methods may be useful in one place, but they may not be useful in another place.

Kangxi also knew that these problems had existed since ancient times, and the solution could not be thought of in a day or two, so he had to sigh, and then said to Liang Jiugong: "Go to the study and have a look." ”

Liang Jiugong responded: "Chirp"

"Swing to the study"

There are now seven elder brothers in the upper study, such as three, four, five, seven, eight, nine, and ten, and the eldest brother has married Fujin and left the upper study to enter the court on an errand, as for the prince, he is a Confucian designated by Kangxi and teaches in the designated study.

When Kangxi's royal driver came to the upper study, the gentlemen in the upper study were giving lectures to the emperor's brothers, Kangxi looked at the state of his sons outside the window, and felt that it was not bad, and the depression in his heart because of the performance was much better.

Kangxi came to the room, and at this time, the lecturer saw Kangxi and stopped, and the lecturer gave Kangxi a salute and said the progress of the class of the emperor's brothers, Kangxi was also listening carefully, and he was still very satisfied with his son being so good.

Kangxi: "Well, I know. ”

The lecturer saw that Kangxi intended to ask the emperor's brothers, and as a courtier, he was embarrassed to stay here, so he said: "Your Majesty, this class is over." ”

Kangxi said expressionlessly: "Well, then you go down first!" ”

Master Cheng: "The slave retires" After speaking, he left.

Kangxi did intend to inspect a few sons, and he was satisfied when he saw Master Cheng leave with interest.

And the following sons are nervous about Kangxi's arrival, after all, Kangxi has a little preference for the prince, and the other sons belong to the state of "free-range".

In addition to the crown prince, the elder brothers are not without complaints about Kangxi's partiality, but Kangxi is the emperor, and what Kangxi likes to see most is that their brothers can be brothers, friends and brothers.

So for various reasons, in Kangxi's eyes, the emperor's brothers are all brothers, friends and brothers.

Kangxi: "I heard Master Cheng say that your schoolwork has been completed well, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, I will test you a few questions, and whoever of you answers well will be rewarded." ”

The brothers standing below listened, naturally they had expectations, and expectations were not Kangxi's rewards, and if they could answer Kangxi's questions and agree with Huang Ama, they could leave a capable and excellent impression on Kangxi.

They think they're learning well, and of course, they're learning well.

The status of the emperor's elder brother allowed them to receive a first-class education, which gave them more self-confidence than others, and even self-confidence to the point of being a little conceited.

The third elder brother is the oldest in this group of elder brothers, he thinks that he has studied longer than the younger brother below, and he is the most talented of all the elder brothers.

The talent brought by the birth and the serious study of the day after tomorrow made him very superior.

The third elder brother smiled and said to Kangxi: "Huang Ama, you can take the test casually." ”

Although the other elder brothers did not speak, most of what they wanted to express in their eyes was also this meaning.

Kangxi was naturally pleased to see that his sons were so confident, so he smiled and said: "Okay, I love the descendants of the Xinjueluo family, so I should have such courage." ”

Kangxi then said: "Since this is the case, then I ask you, in the "University", 'those who are obviously virtuous in the world will rule the country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies; Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere; If you want to be sincere, you should know it first; Enlightenment is in Gewu. After the object is known, after the knowledge is sincere, after the sincerity of the heart, after the heart is right, after the body is cultivated, after the body is cultivated, after the family is Qi, after the country is governed, after the country is peaceful', who can say their own opinions? ”

The third elder brother heard Kangxi say this, and he was silently happy in his heart, after all, he had just heard this sentence from his master, and he remembered it very well.

Third Elder Brother Yinzhi: "Huang Ama, for my son, my son thinks that this sentence mainly means that if you want to achieve great things, you must first do a good job in small things, of course, this is indispensable to improve your self-cultivation...... Huang Ama, that's all, the son is done. ”

Kangxi listened, thinking that this third child is still the same, although he has some talent in reading, but he is only talented in reading, and he can't think for himself, no matter how he says it, it's in vain.

What Yinzhi said naturally makes sense, but that is all thought out by others, and Yinzhi just moved out the achievements of others.

It can only be said that Yinzhi is very talented in endorsing and just reading hard, and there seems to be no difference between those officials who can only govern their jurisdictions with theoretical knowledge.
