The six departments of the Ming Dynasty have a long history, and there are six departments in the Western Zhou Dynasty, namely Situ, Sima, Sikong, Sikou, Daxingren, Zongbo, and after the Sui and Tang dynasties, they evolved into six departments: officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers.

The development of Jiuqing is not the same, the Qin and Han dynasties refer to Fengchang, Lang Zhongling, Weiwei, Taifu, Dali Siqing, Dianke, Zongzheng, Zhisu Neishi and Shaofu these nine departments, and then gradually reduced, to the Ming Dynasty only left Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taifu Temple, Honglu Temple.

Coupled with the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the General Political Envoy, it is basically all the power organs of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Hanlin Academy, it is the Ming Dynasty's literary and historical research and talent reserve institution, and there are about 300 new scholars produced in each imperial examination, usually speaking, the top 100 will stay in the Hanlin Academy, copying and writing every day, accumulating experience, and waiting for opportunities.

With the rise of the Academy of Sciences, the status of the Hanlin Academy is gradually declining, because these Hanlin masters only read the scriptures and history, and do not involve other disciplines.

With a stroke of the pen, Zhu Qizhen directly changed the Hanlin Academy into the Institute of Literature and History.

Then write two big words on the cabinet, and put a cross on the back.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished Zhongshu Province, and the descendants of our Zhu family must not forget their roots, and they will be done!

Yu Qian continued to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of War, Cao Nai served as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Kuang Yu had already handed in three resignations, and it seemed that he really couldn't do it, so Zhang Yilai took over as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Peng Qing needed to set up a new Maritime Governor's Office, which was at the same level as the Six Ministries, and set up consulates in overseas countries to station officials for a long time.

The greatest change in the Academy of Sciences is that it needs to separate the disciplines related to the other six departments and set them under the name of the six departments, such as the Institute of Agronomy and the Institute of Mathematics in the Ministry of Households; the Civil Engineering Research Institute and the Water Conservancy Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry; the weapons and equipment research institute of the Ministry of War, and so on.

In addition, the Academy of Sciences also needs to be responsible for teaching and imperial examinations, and the examination questions are divided into different categories such as literature and history, science, engineering, and martial arts.

Three days later, Belin entered the palace with a thick charter.

Zhu Qizhen looked through it carefully and felt very satisfied.

The Academy of Sciences is reliable, almost all aspects have been taken into account, and all processes are very perfect.

"Yes, let's do this!"

Belin looked respectful and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you really need to send a cabinet ticket?" ”

"No, you can draw up the decree directly and take it to the celebrant to seal it."

The minister dared to admonish, so it seemed ...... Not very good......"

Zhu Qizhen's eyes widened, and he said dissatisfiedly: "If I let you go, you will go, no need to say more!" ”

Belin swallowed her saliva and said, "This time Enko's questioner ......"

"Needless to say, of course, from the Academy of Sciences! No matter who you are, once you are selected, you need to be temporarily isolated from the outside world, and be taken care of by Jinyiwei, and I will send people to deliver three meals a day until the day of the exam! ”

"Before that, if someone leaves without permission, they will be punished according to the exam questions!"

Belin wondered, "Do you choose all from the Academy of Sciences?" ”

"You're the examiner, you're decided!"

"The minister suggested...... Examiners in literature and history, or are they selected from the Hanlin Academy? ”

"I've said it, you decide, just report to me for approval!"

"Yes, the minister will arrange it."

Belin felt a lot of pressure, more than ever.

When the Academy of Sciences was first established, he was a maverick and dared to confront everyone, but there was no pressure at that time.

Now it is different, the emperor has raised the Academy of Sciences to an unprecedented height through continuous changes.

The imperial examination is the foundation of the imperial court, and whoever presides over the imperial examination is the person with the most power in the court.

Belin thought about it, but said, "Your Majesty, you really don't need to discuss with the cabinet?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said lightly: "I have removed the cabinet, and I will announce it to the world tomorrow!" ”

"Huh? Really withdrawn? ”

"I said that if I withdraw, I will withdraw, can I still joke with you?"

"The Teacher's ......"

"Establish the Maritime Governor's Office, with Peng Qingjia as the Governor's Minister, in charge of maritime trade, shipping, diplomacy and consulates of overseas countries."

Belin pondered hard for a long time, and then said, "I understand! ”

The emperor is determined to do something big, and no one can stop him this time.

At present, every reform is good, the only problem is that the steps are too big, I don't know if it will be a pull.

In case of forcing out a case of rebellion and murder of the monarch again, the mountains and rivers will be turbulent at that time, and there will be rivers of blood.

In the early morning of the next day, the imperial court issued three edicts in succession.

The first way is to investigate the case of Sanyang's rebellion, involving more than 50,000 officials, the main culprit is punished by the nine clans, the second is the three clans, and the beheading is again, and the lightest is exiled to the border.

According to statistics, there are more than 300,000 people involved in the case, a number that shocks everyone.

The second edict, the restructuring of the imperial court, the abolition of the cabinet, the addition of the Maritime Governor's Office, as well as the changes of the Hanlin Academy and the Academy of Sciences, are clearly written and understood.

This news is so shocking that it is almost a change for readers.

However, they were even more shocked by the third edict.

Kaienko, and this time, Enko's way is very different than before.

As the most important eight-strand text, it has become an ordinary classification, and others, such as arithmetic, engineering, water control and road construction, and even more excessively, there is a martial arts, examination of the art of war deduction and horseback archery.

The edict was issued, and the people all over the world were like mourning and wanted to cry without tears.

These three edicts undoubtedly cut off the roots of the readers!

From then on, the order of the world will be re-established, and the network of contacts, wealth, and relationships accumulated by the nobles for generations will ...... It's all wiped out and started over.

——

Wuxi, Jiangsu, Guishan Academy.

The great Confucian Sun Changhe was lecturing, and a man dressed as a family member hurriedly arrived, holding a large envelope.

"Sir, a letter from Jingshi!"

Sun Changhe's face was suddenly displeased, he didn't see me lecturing, why do you have to read it now?

"Put it down!"

"Yes!"

The family didn't dare to say much, put down the envelope, and turned to leave.

“…… Erudition, interrogation, prudence, discernment, practice, this is the golden mean, today's course will be here first, I heard that the emperor wants to open Enke, you need good students to study, and strive to be on the list. ”

The students got up one after another to say goodbye, and Sun Changhe picked up the envelope and saw a few thick piles of paper inside.

When I took it out and looked at it, my face began to turn strange.

After killing so many people, the Jiangnan Shi clan was almost uprooted, it was too ruthless!

Fortunately, I haven't been involved in these bad things in recent years, but I have devoted myself to teaching here, but I have escaped the catastrophe.

Open the second ......

"Ahh

Sun Changhe jumped up directly, sweating profusely, and his face was very frightened.

Abolish the cabinet and castrate the Hanlin Academy, this ......

This is digging the roots of the Ming Dynasty!

"Crazy, the emperor is crazy......"

Sun Changhe muttered in his mouth, trembling and opening the third ......

Poof!

This time, the tense nerves really couldn't resist, and his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.

"Sir, sir!"

When Sun Changhe opened his eyes, he saw himself lying on the bed, with several familiar faces in front of him.

Xia Shaopeng, Cen Guangyao, Wei Hao, etc., are all their own students, and they have already been promoted, and they are only one step away from becoming an official in the court.

"You ...... How did you guys come back......"

"As soon as I walked out of the academy, I received news from home that there seemed to be a big change in the court, and I wanted to ask Mr. for advice, but I saw Mr. faint on the ground."

"It's over, Daming is over!"

Sun Changhe couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Take a look, the news is true, it is an edict issued by the emperor himself, take a look......"

Everyone had already seen it, and they were silent one by one.

"There are traitors in the court, there are traitors!"

Sun Changhe hugged his head and cried, these news were really sadder than his dead father.

Xia Shaopeng said: "What does Mr. think about this? ”

Sun Changhe wiped his tears and said: "It must be a villain who persecuted Zhongliang, and the emperor mistakenly believed the slander and abolished the cabinet." ”

"Who is the villain in the mouth of the gentleman?"

"Who else can it be, it must be those people from the Academy of Sciences, the edict is not clearly written, this year's Enke is fully responsible for the Academy of Sciences, these people just know some strange and obscene skills, how can they be useful?"

Xia Shaopeng nodded and said, "We also think that the emperor handed over the imperial examination to these people, how can we still have a future?" ”

Cen Guangyao immediately said: "What Brother Xia said is very true, do you want me to put down the Four Books and Five Classics and go to tinker with those messy things?" ”

"You think too much, no matter how well you learn, people may not use it!"

"What do you mean?"

"Once the son of heaven and a courtier, the Academy of Sciences is in power, and it is bound to promote its own people, and we and other traditional scholars have become the remnants of the previous dynasty, and it is too late for others to suppress it, how can it be reused?"

"Then watch these people bring disaster to the country and the people?"

"Don't argue......"

Sun Changhe waved his hand and said weakly: "The emperor is gullible and slanderous, I will be more sad in the future, so let's save my strength and think about the way out in the future." ”

Cen Guangyao said: "Why don't we and others jointly write a letter asking the emperor to ban the new policy!" ”

"Don't think about it, now that the cabinet has been withdrawn, and there is no one in the DPRK and China to support it, who am I waiting for the book to read?"

"For the emperor, of course!"

"Don't be stupid, the emperor can't see it at all, even if he sees it, it's useless, those villains of the Academy of Sciences are close to the water every day, how can we compare?"

Everyone argued, so they had to wait for Sun Changhe to speak.

"You're still too young......

Sun Changhe shook his head and sighed, and said, "When you encounter things, you are frizzy, how can you become a big thing?" ”

"Sir's lesson is that he also asks Mr. for guidance."

"The old man has just thought about it carefully, the emperor issued three edicts at a time, and there will definitely be no good fruit to eat when you touch the emperor's moldy head at this time, so it is better to retreat as advance."

"How to retreat into advance?"

Sun Changhe slowly spit out two words: "Boycott the exam!" ”

"Sir is saying...... Do I refuse to take the exam? ”

"It's not enough to have a few of you, you need to unite all the students in the world to let the emperor know the consequences of doing this!"

Everyone thought about it, and it seemed that this was the only way to work.

You killed so many people, there are vacancies everywhere in the imperial court, we don't go to the exam, see what you do?

When there is no one available in the court, the emperor will know that he is wrong, and he can only compromise when the time comes!

"Mr. Gaoming, I'll wait for the exam!"

"The students will send a letter to their classmates, stating their interests, and I think they will also support it."

"I have a few classmates and friends in Shandong, and I originally made an appointment to go to Beijing to take the exam together, but I don't know what they think when they see the Huibang text, and I will also repair a book!"

Everyone expressed their support for the boycott, and contacted classmates and friends from all over the country to make the matter bigger.

Cen Guangyao seemed to think of something, and said, "Sir, the student has a word!" ”

Sun Changhe asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cen Guangyao said: "The predecessor of this Guishan Academy was founded by Yang Shi in the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty. ”

Sun Changhe thought for a while, nodded and said: "So very good, Donglin Academy advocates reading, lecturing, and patriotism, which is the noble character of our scholars. ”

After everyone discussed, the name of Donglin Academy was rebuilt, and the news was spread.

The Jiangnan Shi clan has been devastated, and those who escaped by luck already feel hopeless in this life, but now they heard that the great Confucian Sun Changhe rebuilt Donglin College, and it seems that they have found a home in life, and they are all here.

In just one month, the number of students in Donglin College has reached 500, and this number is still increasing day by day, and the buildings of the academy have long been insufficient.

Fortunately, everyone is not short of money, after all, they are readers, who has no money to afford to read?

As a result, the latecomers directly set up a house outside the academy, and slowly, a market town was formed here.

Even the vendors who set up tea stalls and sold watermelons came to join in the fun.

After sunset, the two stall owners appeared at the same time in a hidden house.

The two of them compiled what they had seen and heard in the past few days into a secret letter, and then sent it all the way to Jingshi through the special channel of Jinyiwei.

When Zhu Qizhen saw this letter, the expression on his face was very complicated, and he couldn't tell whether he was laughing or crying.

Donglin Academy actually appeared in advance!

These people directly came to a cold violence to vent their dissatisfaction with the court.

Do you want...... A pot served?

It's very simple to get these people, Jin Yiwei went to arrest people directly, one counts as one, and there is no innocent one.

But the question is, they have not violated the law and discipline now, how can they be arrested?

People are Confucians, and it is not illegal to teach!

There are also those students, whether they take the exam or not is their own business, and their legs are long on others, but they don't want to take the test, so what?

It can't be said that those who don't participate in the imperial examination will all be arrested......

It doesn't make sense!

In desperation, Zhu Qizhen had to let it go for the time being, if you like to take the test or not, I don't believe it, among the tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, can't pick out hundreds of capable people?

There is a kind of don't take the test for your whole life, whoever takes the test will be the grandson!
