Chapter 609: Cao Yun
"Fetch it for me." Zhu Houwei saw that Yang Tinghe wanted to read the scroll, and directly cut off his beard.
Yang Tinghe naturally didn't dare to refuse, the palace examination itself was the Son of Heaven's personal examination of the tributes, and in the final analysis, the Son of Heaven was the only examiner.
It's just that most of the emperors are very lazy and have a limited level, so the volumes of hundreds of tribute students are generally read by the cabinet or Hanlin first, and finally after reading them all, ten good ones are selected and handed over to the emperor to read, and how to rank these ten tributes is also determined by the emperor, so they are the real protégés of the Son of Heaven.
Zhang Cong had already been taken outside the hall to wait, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the great eunuch Ren Xing take his scroll and hand it to the Son of Heaven, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Bet right!
Zhu Houwei read the scroll very seriously, to be precise, he was not interested in the Four Books and the Five Classics since he was a child, if you let him read the volume of the scriptures, not to mention whether he can understand it, but it is almost certain to see that he falls asleep.
But the question is different, the question is not limited to the eight-strand format, and there is not much difference from the argumentative essay of later generations, as long as you write your own argument according to the topic, and then use the argument to verify the argument, and finally make an argument, to say the difference, it is nothing more than the difference between vernacular and classical Chinese.
'The saint is famous in the world, and he must be ......'
sprinkled with more than 1,000 words in an article, Zhu Houwei really struggled to read......
Classical Chinese seems to be difficult to say, and it is nonsense to say that it is simple, the key is to depend on the level of education, but Zhu Houwei studied exam-oriented education in his previous life, and he has had a few articles of classical Chinese, but he can't get on the stage, although there are Confucian professors in this life, it is a pity that he and his brother are rotten wood in the mouth of Confucianism......
Now that the sequelae have come out, although Zhang Cong's article is tired of reading, the arguments, arguments and arguments are extremely clear.
It is better to specialize in one side than to specialize in it, the question is about the pros and cons of the world, Zhu Houwei thought that the direction of these tributes was commercial tax or garrison soldiers.
Because these two are almost certain, and have even entered the reform agenda, from these two aspects, it will not harm the minister, nor will it harm him.
But what Zhu Houwei didn't expect was that the first volume he saw didn't write about commercial taxes or soldiers!
It was written as a point that was ignored by Zhu Houwei!
Cao Yun!
What is Caoyun?
Quite simply, it is the road that transports grain and goods from north to south.
In this article, the disadvantages of Cao Yun are directly pointed out.
'Every stone is worth the capital, and it is often two or three times the market price in the southeast...... Tax collectors are pressing, the checkpoints are vertical and horizontal, and corruption is endless......'
The topic of the palace examination is on 'the rise and fall of the world', and it is a discussion, and it does not point out how to solve the maladministration, but this article says it!
Sea ban!
The sea ban is the ancestral system, and the article directly points out that this ancestral system is not good, because the ancestral system of 'the piece of board cannot go to the sea' exists, so that the coastal people have no livelihood, and many people even go to the sea to become thieves, and in turn plunder the coast, in addition, the sea ban has also seriously hindered the development of the sailors, resulting in the increasingly rampant Japanese pirates at sea, but the Ming Dynasty is helpless.
Finally, to the point, it is believed that the maritime ban policy hinders maritime transportation, and without the convenience of maritime transportation, then it can only rely on light transportation and land transportation.
Both Cao Yun and Lu Yun gave the government and officials the opportunity to exploit wantonly, which also hindered the development of trade and bred corruption......
What a guts! What a fight!
If such an article flows into the court bigwigs, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and Zhu Houwei is even sure that if Zhang Cong did not directly submit the paper so that he could see this article first, then he would definitely not be able to see this article, and Zhang Cong would inevitably be thrown into the top three, and even rejected by the officialdom, and his career would be ruined for the rest of his life.
But naturally it doesn't exist now, Zhang Cong......
is really worthy of being a fortunate minister of the Jiajing Dynasty who made a fortune by discussing great gifts, and being able to grasp what the king wants to hear like this shows that he put a lot of thought into it before the exam.
And submitting the paper in advance must have been planned in advance, which is really a good means.
Putting the scroll aside, Zhu Houwei already had a plan in his heart, Zhang Cong is almost forty years old, and he is destined to be unwilling to climb slowly in the officialdom, so he will most likely still want to take the road of luck.
This is for the sake of his future, he did not hesitate to go against the Manchu Dynasty, and he was born to be a lonely minister, and he will be of great use in the future.
As an emperor, Confucian ministers teach the way of governing the country, but when the emperor is the prince, the emperor will teach the prince the emperor's mind and the way of weighing, but these Zhu Houzhao have learned, and he Zhu Houwei is not qualified to learn.
But in terms of knowledge, who can compare with him?
Balance? To put it simply, balance is nothing more than supporting two factions to come out and fight in the ring, and the emperor always plays the role of referee, so as to help the stability of imperial power.
There is nothing wrong with this, because once the ministers are united, it is the emperor's who should have a headache, but there must be a degree of balance, otherwise let the mutual checks and balances become party struggles, and the final consumption will only be the national fortune.
As for the mental technique, to put it bluntly, it is not to let the courtiers guess what you are thinking, so that the emperor is vague and confused, like a divine dragon above the nine heavens, so that the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty are in awe.
This real Jiajing Emperor played perfectly, this is famous for his cultivation in history, and he is also a master of playing dumb riddles, but if the master is always in the clouds, he will be lonely, so there will be a master who will appear and play with him, this person is Yan Shifan, Yan Song can control the government for decades, and his son Yan Shifan is definitely indispensable.
But Zhu Houwei doesn't want to live so tired, it's interesting to intrigue with his courtiers all day long?
What is the highest level of political struggle?
It is definitely not a sword in the court, nor is it a verbal criticism, but an absolute suppression.
As long as you have the absolute crushing power, then the so-called game between the monarch and the minister is a joke!
Yang Tinghe and other important ministers really wanted to see what the first Gongsheng who handed in the paper wrote, after all, the topic of today's science palace examination is about the ups and downs of the world, the Son of Heaven is determined to reform, and he has changed several things, and the whole dynasty has collapsed the strings, and I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will play some new tricks.
But the Son of Heaven didn't mean to show them the scroll, and they were helpless, but then again, they weren't in a hurry.
If there is one who takes the lead in handing in the papers, there will naturally be those who will be handed in one after another, and the same papers that are handed in are all read by Zhu Houwei first.
However, the ministers who were the best at observing words and expressions easily saw disappointment in the emperor's face.
The scrolls quickly spread out, and only the first one was still there, what does this mean?
The courtiers led by Yang Tinghe began to feel a little nervous in their hearts.
This shows that the emperor thought that the scroll was well written, at least in line with his heart!
What does that mean?
It's not hard to guess!
