Today's small court meeting, only Jiuqing participated.

After Zhu Jianji exempted everyone, he smiled and said: "The king of the Li clan of North Korea, Li Jiao, is still in Gyeonggi, and I ordered him to stay, as for the intention, Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, have you ordered him?" ”

Lu Yu came out of the ranks, "I mentioned it, he Li Ji has been silent, or pretending to be confused." ”

Zhu Jianji bowed, "The matter is big, he naturally does not dare to reveal half of his position, but now he can't help it, now I have been recuperating for more than five years, I need to expand outward, but I need to stick to Shenzhou, and the Korean Peninsula is more important than the Indochina Peninsula, if there are foreign countries stronger than China in the future and control the Korean Peninsula, we can use the Korean Peninsula to attack from the sea and land routes, threatening the happy life of my Chinese sons and daughters, so it is necessary for us to turn the Korean Peninsula into the Ming Dynasty's political envoys, and completely and firmly grasp it." ”

Lu Yu was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, my Heavenly Empire has always been a state of etiquette, and Korea, as a vassal state, is the most obedient, and now I want to stab them, I'm afraid it will damage the image of the Celestial Empire." ”

He Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "I think Your Majesty is reasonable, from the perspective of the world's public opinion, North Korea may indeed become a springboard for foreign forces to threaten our Shenzhou, and its strategic position is as important as the island chain formed by Korea, Japan, and Luzon. ”

Hang Min said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”

Except for Dong Fang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, the rest of the nine secretaries seconded the proposal.

It has been eleven years since he ascended the throne, and Zhu Jianji has long been properly arranged by the courtiers of the DPRK and China, as long as it does not involve the issue of land annexation, even Lu Yudu Dong Fang absolutely supports Zhu Jianji.

There is no way, Zhu Jianji's merits and abilities are here.

If fundamental interests are not involved, no one will oppose Zhu Jianji.

Lu Yu has the intention of opposing sending troops to North Korea, but it is just because he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the most sour and Confucian person in the world, and he still clings to outdated concepts.

Dong Fang habitually supports him again.

However, Jiuqing and eleven people, except for Yu Qian, who did not come today, a total of eight people supported it, and the matter was basically settled.

Lu Yu still insisted on his opinion: "Your Majesty, if you send troops to the vassal country, it will have a huge impact, who is willing to submit to my Ming Dynasty as a vassal in the future, and let the Li Dynasty surrender Korea without sending troops. ”

Zhu Jianji bowed slightly.

To be honest, as long as it does not involve the issue of land annexation, Lu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is still very qualified, especially in the reform of the imperial examination system like the college entrance examination, Lu Yu played an indispensable role.

After five years of recuperation, there are now many universities in Daming.

The local government school takes an exam every year.

Those who pass the exam are still called Juzi, but according to their grades and location, they will enter the corresponding university to learn relevant knowledge, such as engineering, science, medicine or military, and even astronomy and geography.

And after three years of further study in the university, there will be a Beijing examination for the university to lift the child.

Held in Gyeonggi.

In this Beijing examination, generally only the outstanding students of each university go to Beijing to cross the single-plank bridge, and then the imperial court will select the best as jinshi and directly enter the various departments of Gyeonggi as officials, or go to the local county government, state government, government government and even Chengxuan political envoy to serve as a minister.

It's basically the imperial examination.

Those who fail in the Beijing examination will be admitted to serve in the major sinking departments set up by the imperial court, just like the general students of various universities, and will be reasonably arranged according to the direction of their main attack in the university.

In short, it is the Jingkao Jinshi who is a civil servant.

The prospects are great.

Generally, after graduating from university, according to their grades and abilities, some can enter the departments of Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department and the Taxation Department of the Ministry of Households, and they are also civil servants.

grassroots, so the prospects are not very ambitious.

Some of them entered institutions such as local government schools, hospitals, steel mills, and coal mining, which can be regarded as career editors.

But the treatment is actually not much worse.

What are the prospects......

It's a little harder.

And when this reform of the imperial examination was promulgated in the world, the world's scholars were boiling, and some scholars even went to Beijing to ask for their lives, and then Lu Yu went out.

Lu Yu stood up with his old body, took his protégé and friends to inspect the country, talked with Confucians and scholarly families all night long, and persuaded them one by one, so that the imperial examination reform could be implemented.

Zhu Jianji knew that Lu Yu had his thoughts: to cast a peach.

Educational reform, we scholars have supported.

So for the reform of the land annexation issue, Your Majesty, do you want to repay the favor and give more consideration to the interests of our scholars, and when the time comes, we should not be one-size-fits-all, but also give our scholars a little room to survive.

After all, most scholars live on the land, and it is better to kill them if they let them go to business.

The reason is simple.

Scholars have always looked down on businessmen.

This is conventional wisdom.

Zhu Jianji can understand Lu Yu's idea, after all, Lu Yu is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is the head of the world's sergeant forest - well, this status is not based on knowledge.

Because he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, before the education reform, he was the leader of the imperial examination.

So Zhu Jianji has been thinking about this issue in recent days.

In solving the problem of land annexation, how to take care of the group of scholars.

After all, Lu Yu has made such a big sacrifice - the Ministry of Rites' support for education reform means the delegation of power to the imperial examination, which is originally the greatest power of the Ministry of Rites.

Without any power, the status of the Ministry of Rites is even lower than that of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Ministry of Agriculture.

This is the general trend of the Ming Dynasty towards industrialization and reform.

After all, the Ministry of Rites is only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the modern state system.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jianji said: "Lu Shangshu is reasonable, so I plan to announce the announcement of Li Ji on the next day, and tell him the matter clearly, if he can weigh the pros and cons and make the right choice, he will naturally be happy, if he is unwilling to let go, then find an excuse to send troops to North Korea, I have to ask the Ministry of Rites to think more, Lu Shangshu, when the time comes, I may have to let you work for a while." ”

This is to give Lu Yu face and steps.

Lu Yu was overjoyed, "The old minister is in charge." ”

Zhu Jianji continued: "In the next five to ten years, my Ming Dynasty will basically expand outward, and it is indispensable to deal with foreign countries, and the Ministry of Rites has a great responsibility, Lu Shangshu, you have to pay more attention to take care of your body, I don't want to see Li Wengong reappear." ”

Li Wenwen Gong is Li Shi, the left capital of the Imperial Palace.

Exhausted and died in the official room of the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office.

Posthumously awarded the title of Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar, nicknamed Literature, and the fifth civil official, with Li Shi's merits, it is actually a bit reluctant, but he is tired to death after all, and the sinking work of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Li Shi has indeed made a great contribution.

Therefore, Zhu Jianji called Li Wengong, which is a great praise and respect for Li Shi.
