Chapter 502: Overhaul of the Imperial Examination

Zhu Qizhen saw that the two of them had unkind faces, so he asked, "Do you think it's inappropriate for the two Qing families?" ”

Cao Nai had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Back to the emperor, Enke has always been a celebration of the country, or a happy event in the court, and it seems that it is ...... right now It's not a good ......."

Zhang Yi then said: "Next year will be the triennial Zhengke, the emperor might as well wait for ......."

Zhu Qizhen raised his hand, signaling that the two of them didn't need to say any more.

"Since the New Deal, the reform of the imperial examination has been going on, and I feel that the time has come!"

When Cao Nai and Zhang Yi heard this, they felt a cool breeze rising from their back bones.

It has been three years since the imperial examination system was restructured, and the specific measure is to add an annual science examination.

Although there are many students who give up the Four Books and Five Classics and study natural sciences instead, it is not easy to take this road, and even if they can stand out, most of them start from the lowest level of the yamen in various places, and in a short period of time, they cannot shake the foundation of the Eight Stocks of Scholars.

The emperor said that it was time now, what did he mean?

It is necessary to completely abolish the eight-share taker......

In the past, whoever dared to say that the imperial examination was canceled and the eight shares were abolished, others would only regard it as a joke.

With the great change in the emperor's situation, he has completely lost trust in the civil official group, and it is not impossible to make a will now to fundamentally destroy the imperial examination.

Zhu Qizhen had a cold face and said: "Not only should the Enke be opened, but from now on, the imperial examination will be changed to once a year, and the content of the examination will also be changed, this matter is ......."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, staring closely at Cao Nai and Zhang Yi.

“…… I have decided that I will not bother with the cabinet and leave it to the Academy of Sciences! ”

Cao and Zhang's faces suddenly turned dark, such a big matter, skipping the cabinet directly, this is to make it clear that they want to dig up the roots of Wenchen!

For the emperor, the imperial examination was the way to take the scholars.

However, for the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty, what was the imperial examination?

It is their root, and it is the root of the entire scholar clan of the Ming Dynasty!

Wenchen Group wants to become bigger and stronger, and wants to have successors, the only way is the imperial examination, which sounds very fair and just, but in fact, there are many doorways inside!

To put it simply, there are at least 10,000 ways for the examiner to let who he wants to pass and who he doesn't want to pass!

Such as agreeing on protégés, leaking questions and missing questions, selling words, changing papers, cutting papers......

Rules are dead, people are alive, there are countless ways and means of favoritism and cheating in the imperial examination, and the final result is that the teacher paves the way for the protégé, and the protégé works for the teacher, in the final analysis, it is still a gang.

Therefore, whoever dares to attack the imperial examination is equivalent to going against the scholars of the whole world.

At the beginning, the emperor wanted to reform the system, but he only added the regular examination of natural sciences, and did not shake the foundation of the Eight Shares of Scholars, but he was worried about this, but now everything has changed......

"Your Majesty, please think twice......"

"It's decided, if the two Qing families have nothing else to do, let's go down first!"

After Zhu Qizhen finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the detachment on the side, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"Go back and tell your people that all my people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how high or low, whether they are Mongolian or Han, in front of me, all of them are treated equally, and they can sign up for reference!"

Totobuhua was very stunned, then scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, are you joking, our people don't even know all Chinese characters, what kind of exam do you take?" ”

"If you don't know it, you can learn, when you gain a firm foothold in the Yenisei River, I will give you a school and send Mr. from the Academy of Sciences!"

He was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The minister thanked the emperor for his grace first!" ”

Zhu Qizhen continued: "From now on, the imperial examination will add martial arts, test physical fitness, fists and feet, riding and archery, art of war deduction, etc., your people can prepare now!" ”

"This, this...... May I? ”

The smile on Tu Tu Buhua's face froze, and he seemed to be a little incredulous, there was such a good thing in the world?

Originally, I thought that if I could find a place to live, I would be very satisfied.

Now the emperor not only promised to send troops and provide weapons and equipment, but also added martial arts to the imperial examination, and asked his own people to participate by name, is he really not treating himself as an outsider!

Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly and said, "Since they are all my people, why not?" ”

"Also, although it is a martial arts test, you will enter the court as an official in the future, and it will definitely not work if you don't know a single big character, you will choose capable people now, I will add a school to you in the Academy of Sciences, specializing in teaching the art of war, if you want to get good results in the exam, you still need to work hard!"

Poof!

He knelt down directly, his eyes were already full of tears.

"The emperor's great kindness, the ministers have nothing to repay, but the emperor has orders in the future, my Tatar subordinates will never frown, if you violate this oath, you will be willing to be punished by Changshengtian!"

Cao Nai and Zhang Yi were wide-eyed, and in order to squeeze out the original Wenchen forces, the emperor now even gave favors to the Tatars.

If the new imperial examination is implemented, how will it be mixed up in the future?

Just imagine, when the court was an official, there were those who learned arithmetic, water control, shipbuilding, farming, and Mongolian men who were five big and three rough, who specialized in learning to ride horses and fight......

What is this?

If you don't go to court, you won't be a country!

Zhu Qizhen raised his head, with an undoubted look in his eyes, and asked, "What else is going on with the two Qing families?" ”

Cao Nai's heart was entangled for a long time, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is really inappropriate to change the imperial examination without permission, please think twice!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"The imperial examination is the law of the ancestors, the foundation of the imperial court, how can it be easily changed?"

I really had no choice but to move the ancestral system out.

Zhu Qizhen smiled contemptuously and said: "In the ancestral system, officials embezzle fifty taels of silver, peel off the skin and fill the grass, should this article be restored?" ”

"Ah, this ...... Retire! ”

Cao Nai was speechless for a moment, hurriedly saluted, turned around and ran.

Zhang Yi didn't even dare to speak, and went out.

"Cao Gong, look at this...... How is it good? ”

"Shiqian, can't you see it, Your Majesty...... Alas! ”

Cao Nai shook his head again and again, sighing.

"I have to think of a way, if it goes on like this, where will I still have a foothold?"

"Don't think about it!"

Cao Nai said earnestly: "The last person who had this idea was Yang Dan, and the old man didn't want to go down to accompany him. ”

"Do you want to watch those messy people go to the court, and those Mongols, all of whom will be the same as me in the future?"

Of course, the old man didn't want to see this scene, but ...... And how? ”

Cao Nai paused, and then said, "Shiqian, do you regret it?" ”

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you regret?" ”

"I regret not seizing power with Yang Dan, if you succeed, you are now the head of the cabinet, you can do whatever you want, you don't need to discuss with the old man."

"Cao Gong said carefully!"

Zhang Yi subconsciously looked around, but fortunately, there was no one around.

"Cao Gong, you want me to die!"

Cao Naizheng said: "Since you don't want to die, you will do whatever the emperor says in the future, don't have other ideas!" ”
