Chapter 920: Scrap Eight Shares

"Cao Bianjiao and Li Zicheng have done a good job, it is estimated that it will not be long before Jiubian can completely recover to its heyday and even surpass it, and then it will be time to clean up Lin Dan Khan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" After reading the news sent by various channels, Li You nodded with satisfaction, these candidates did not live up to his expectations, although there are fast and slow, but the situation in various military towns is developing in a good direction, and when the training on the nine sides is completed, and then Lin Dan Khan is solved, it is time to consider reorganizing the garrison in the mainland.

"This is all because Your Majesty has a discerning eye and has formulated such a proper training strategy." Wang Qia, the secretary of the military department, sent a sycophant in a timely manner, and he now knows how much he has the ability to do in the military, so he is unconditionally obeyed by Li You's will, because now the military power is divided into a large part by the Governor's Mansion of the five armies, so Wang Qia will not have much influence if he stays in the military department.

And Li You's subordinates also need such a figure, so Wang Qia's current official can be regarded as deserving, not only was he not demoted, but he was lucky to enter the cabinet and became the envy of countless officials.

"The ordnance and food they need must also be distributed in the same way, and they must not be careless." Li You added, fortunately, because the sea trade can buy grain from Nanyang, and Song Yingxing's success in cultivating good seeds, as well as the smooth construction of water conservancy projects in various places, there is no serious food problem in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not a problem to feed these troops for the time being.

After talking about the military issues, it's time to discuss the things above the cultural governance, now that Li You is in power, it is no longer comparable to when he just ascended the throne, so he can also try to open another stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty, "I recently read an article in the newspaper, and I think it is quite interesting, and you have come to taste it or two. ”

After that, Wang Chengen distributed stacks of manuscripts to the important ministers in the palace, and the important ministers were stunned when they saw this article, only to see that it was written, "...... If someone is here, once they practice eight strands, their hearts have to be fine, their qi has to be humble, their vision has to be small, their meaning has to be sour, their shapes have to be cold, and their stomachs and intestines have to be rotten...... If the eight shares are not wasted for a day, the world will not be peaceful for a day! ”

"Your Majesty, who is the author of such rebellious words?" This time, Li Biao did not stand on Li You's side, but loudly refuted the article, and planned to hold such fanatics responsible.

"This is Shanyin Zhang Dai's article." This article is from Zhang Dai's "Book of Stones", Zhang Dai is a famous talent in the south of the Yangtze River, but unfortunately he can't stand the torture of the eight shares, so he has repeatedly failed, but his literary style is indeed wonderful, and he was recommended to enter the newspaper office.

"Your Majesty, this Zhang Dai has failed many times, so there is such a resentful statement, and it should not be true." Li Biao had also heard of Zhang Dai's name and knew something about his experience.

"Li Ge's words are wrong, although Zhang Dai's article is biased, it is not unreasonable." Now that Xu Guangqi has passed away, Li You asked Sun Chengzong to replace him as the first assistant, but Sun Chengzong has a different opinion on this issue, "The eight strands are useless, and they have nothing to do with political affairs, and how can we select suitable talents based on this?" ”

In fact, the imperial examination has come to this point, it is not all the pot of eight shares, the imprisonment of science, the rigidity of thought and many other aspects are one of the reasons why the imperial examination is gradually full of drawbacks, and the eight shares of responsibility are used as scapegoats by many people who are dissatisfied with the existing imperial examination system, Zhang Dai's tone is still good, and Gu Yanwu said in the future: The harm of eight shares is equal to burning books, and corrupt people are worse than the suburbs of Xianyang.

Since there are so many problems, it is not surprising that Sun Chengzong and other people of insight can see it, in the past, it was only because of the resistance to the reform of the imperial examination that they did not dare to ask for it, and now I heard that Li You had this meaning, Sun Chengzong had to stand up and express his support, so the ministers in the palace immediately divided into two rows, and started a cumulative quarrel on the issue of eight shares.

But no matter how they argued, the various shortcomings of the Bagu Scholars could not be concealed, so Li You simply made an arbitrary decision, "Okay, I have made up my mind, and I will order the world to gradually reduce the proportion of the Bagu Wen in the imperial examination from the next subject, and completely eliminate it after the third subject." "I still have to give these scholars some time, but Li You also laid a foreshadowing here, the Ming Dynasty holds a meeting every three years, if the process will drag on to six years according to what he just said, but the imperial court can also add Enke according to the situation, as long as the operation is done properly, three years is enough.

Even so, there were some courtiers who were not convinced, and they threatened Li You with resignation to take back his life, but Li You did not back down and accepted their resignation directly, making these people suffer a dumb loss and regret it.

Immediately, Zhang Dai and other readers who opposed Bagu launched a fierce debate in the newspaper and those who supported the gossip readers, and Zhang Dai and others quickly beat their opponents to the ground with their brilliant writing, and those who were deeply affected by Bagu also spoke out in support, and this matter began to spread all over the world.

In the north of the scholars of this matter of acceptance is relatively high, because of economic and other reasons, the Ming Dynasty in the imperial examination for a long time in the north is far inferior to the south, now this change may be an opportunity for the north of the scholars, of course, more importantly, they are closer to the capital, the determination of His Majesty the Emperor is deeper, solve the Jin merchants, defeat the Jiannu, collect the displaced people and many other things let them understand that once His Majesty the Emperor makes a decision, there is almost nothing for him to take back, Since this fact cannot be changed, it is better to prepare early.

It stands to reason that the south, especially the Jiangnan generation, should react more to this incident, maybe those shabby scholars who have someone behind them will take this opportunity to make trouble again, so that His Majesty will take back his life, but to people's surprise, those Jiangnan gentry did not make much move, and those who inquired a little found that these gentry were falling into a huge crisis.

"At the beginning, you said that this is the secret art of Hongmaoyi, no one else in the world knows except you, I believe your words and spend a lot of money on it, and now Jiangnan is full of this new type of loom, and now I have to lose all my family money!" In a delicate mansion, Zhang Suzi really knelt on the ground with a pale face and was scolded.
