Chapter 27 is coming

Zhu Yuanzhang said that He Xi is not very suitable for the intrigue in the court.

He Xi is also aware of this.

War and politics are interrelated, but they are really two different things.

War is about the complete destruction of the enemy. So be decisive, be ruthless, and don't think about anything else. Before the sword soldiers, what is the hesitation and trade-off, it is over. But politics has to deal with an enemy that cannot be completely resolved.

For example, Jiangnan doctors.

Ding Xian was completely added with swords, but the seemingly weak scholars and doctors caused a Jiangnan rebellion. Let the people of Jiangnan, who are weak, drag Nanjing Jingying for nearly a year.

This is still a place in the south of the Yangtze River.

Although it is said that Jiangnan scholars are the most popular, the place where scholars are most powerful is not only Jiangnan. Specifically, Fujian, northern Jiangxi, and many other places have great influence on scholars.

The relationship between each other is disconnected.

Many people may think that under Miki, why can't you ask for it. Before the sword, there was nothing to do. These so-called scholars and doctors are not so high-minded. There are a few who are iron-clad, and most of them will succumb.

However, the biggest difficulty between people is that they cannot understand each other.

In fact, these people not only represent themselves, but also the people behind them. You can't just look at things from a class point of view. Yes, in your opinion, you are helping the people to bring down the feudal landlords who oppressed them. But in the eyes of many people, it is the strangers who bully their own people.

He Xi's lack of strength is Ding Xian's end. If you use too much force, I am afraid that there will be more blood in various parts of the south than in the battle between the north and the south.

As long as these places are still based on the small-scale peasant economy, there is a sense of region, and there are also reading the Four Books and the Five Classics, this situation is indispensable.

So war is about destroying the enemy, and politics requires compromise.

Now, in He Xi's view, the construction of so many colleges and universities in Nanjing to admit children from the south is actually the enrollment of the children of scholars' families. Enough is enough.

But in the eyes of many, it is far from enough.

So for He Xi this plan. The next day, Nan Kong Kongxi Lu made a clear objection.

Nankong is the vein that moved south to Quzhou after the Jingkang Change.

He was also one of the delegates attending the meeting.

It is a representative elected by the Jiangnan scholars.

It's pitiful to say. Under Ding Xian's generosity, Jiangnan Shi Dafu has a lot of famous and surnamed characters, which can be described as deeply poisonous. And Nan Kong can be regarded as relying on the shadow of Confucius. It can be regarded as not killed. In the final analysis, Ding Xian still did not dare to act rashly against the descendants of Confucius.

It's just that this time Nankong knows that they have to come out of this.

On the one hand, it is in the face of many requests from the Jiangnan Shi family. There is no way they can refuse.

Speaking of Nankong, it seems to be very powerful. But in fact, Nankong has long been obscure. Speaking of which, it seems that there is still a golden body, but compared to the place where the Northern Confucius controlled the entire Qufu and even Yanzhou, this Southern Confucius is only one of the big clans even in Quzhou.

Compared with ordinary big families, it is naturally a little more substantial. Closing the door, it can still be said that Confucius is authentic.

But compared to those prosperous big families, and even compared to the Zheng clan of the uprising, it is much worse. It's just that the Yimen Zheng family, under the wind and rain set off by Ding Xian, disappeared. But the Kong family was retained because it was weak.

Maybe it's also Confucius's protection.

Now these big families in Jiangnan seem to be unable to do it one by one. But the combined force is not something that Nankong can resist.

On the other hand, it was because of the fate of Beikong, which caused an unprecedented crisis in Nankong.

Because Nan Confucius knew that the reason why they still have their current status is directly related to the fact that they have an old ancestor, Confucius.

They can't deny this, and they can't deny it.

They were not less jealous of the glory of Beikong's inheritance of the throne of Yan Shenggong.

Now, He Xi has taken the North Kong, and the meaning behind this is too big

Finish. He Xi's posture of replacing Zhu Zizhi's learning with his own family theory is already obvious. But there's a lot of leeway.

For example, the heirs of Confucius came forward and listed He Xi as one of the new saints of Confucianism.

It's a big deal, in the future, when I sacrifice Confucius, Mencius, Yanzi, and other Confucian sages, just add a He Zi.

was worried that He Xi would demolish the Confucian temple.

This has a lot to do with it, and it has the most to do with the Confucian family. The Kong family didn't come forward, did they want others to come forward for them? It's simply impossible.

Therefore, Kong Xilu is destined to come forward at this conference this time and talk to He Xi. And Kong Xilu also had the determination to die.

However, he did not want to come out at this time.

But a lot of things are not a question of whether he wants to or not.

It's forced by the situation to do it.

Because, He Xi established a school system. It seems to have benefited many people in the South, but it cannot hide an important problem. That is, He Xi is going to take the official examination instead of the imperial examination.

The essence of the official examination that He Xi knew was not much different from the civil service examination in later generations.

First of all, there are academic requirements.

It's just a few university diplomas. Of course, the current implementation of the army is not strict. Otherwise, there are only about 10,000 college graduates today. These are all over the army and the court, and they are simply not enough. Naturally, there were many other people who entered the imperial court.

However, the trend is evident in the future.

If you want to be an examiner, you must be a graduate of ten universities.

He Xi formulated the primary, secondary, and university. Examiner for university graduates. The imperial examination system is two completely different routes from what the great doctors have always wanted.

This route is not acceptable to the Jiangnan scholars.

Yes. In many ways, these people have backed down.

Of course, it can be regarded as a must-back retreat.

After all, the results of the battle between the North and the South are here. If they fight again, will they be able to resist the soldiers?

However, the way of taking scholars not only represents the official ideology of the Ming Dynasty, but also represents the way forward for the children of scholars and doctors in the future. If they don't fight, in the foreseeable future, many prosperous families will become ordinary people's homes.

The home of the hairpin for generations has become an ordinary portal, which countless people do not want to see even if they die.

It is the bottom line that they can't help but stick to. even did not hesitate to come to a Jiangnan rebellion for this matter.

It is even more persistent than in the Hongwu period, and it is even more uncompromising.

The reason is very simple, Zhu Yuanzhang did not open the imperial examination, but during the Hongwu period, most of Zhu Yuanzhang's employees were civil officials and doctors. Therefore, it is okay even if you don't use the imperial examination. But He Xi employs people and has its own system.

If they back down now, it is foreseeable that they will be even less likely to appear at the court in the future.

It's really a step, not necessarily born. Take a step back and die.

As a result, Nankong came forward to oppose the establishment of only ten universities.

Kong Xilu didn't want to fully reveal his thoughts, and he wanted to leave room for it.

First of all, he believed that it was good to promote official learning. However, there are many well-known academies, and it is not a good thing to be excluded from the imperial court official school system. For example, the famous Yuelu Academy, Bailudong Academy and so on.

Therefore, please let the imperial court open up the quota and build a few more academies.

He made a list of more than a dozen colleges in a row.

Each of them is a famous academy that has produced many big names. However, the characteristics are also obvious, that is, they are all in the south, almost all of them are south of the Yangtze River.

However, this is also a very real problem, the style of writing in the south is stronger than that in the north.

The intent is also obvious.

The reason why He Xi did not want to expand the university was because the faculty was insufficient, otherwise he would not have established a normal university first. Isn't it just to train teachers and expand the number of schools? In the future, the number of talents will increase. Needless to say, He Xi himself will expand the university.

But now, more than a dozen so-called colleges and universities have been added all at once, and the number of people is rooted

This is not enough, so naturally there are two old literati sideways. The proportion of schools in the South is much higher than in the North, and it is clear that the chances of the Southerners who will be elected in the future will be much higher than those in the North.

It's just that this opinion is supported by a lot of people.

Without him, the Hongwu regime is essentially a southerner regime.

The civil and military elites of the Manchu Dynasty have always had more people in the south and fewer people in the north. Historically, it is difficult to explain the problem in the case of the North and South lists.

Even now, He Xi and Zhu Xiongying fought from the north. But among the real elites, there are still many southerners. Not to mention anything else, Qu Neng, Ye Shen, and Mei Yin are all Huai people, and they seem to be northerners, but more often than not, they stand with southerners, and they can't empathize with northerners in Shanxi and Hebei.

In the process of the northern soldiers going south, there were naturally many northern generals who came out of the way. and even attended this meeting. But it's still less than the total amount. It's also unavoidable. After all, many things come down to the power of numbers.

The difference in population between the north and the south has already been mentioned. There are many people in the south, and the Ming Dynasty dominated the world from the Northern Expedition, and there are many powerful people in the south, which is also a very normal problem.

Second, Kong Xilu proposed to keep the imperial examination and the election of officials in parallel. However, the difficulty of the imperial examination has been increased. He believes that if a talent is cultivated from the bottom. From an unpopular official to a university scholar, it is too time-consuming.

Therefore, it is necessary to give some people more opportunities, so that learned people can go to the imperial examination and become officials directly.

Of course, the learned people here are naturally the children of their families.

Moreover, Kong Xilu also put forward one thing, thinking that the imperial court should set a standard. Therefore, it is not possible to argue only on the basis of college graduation, after all, it is easy to have privacy in universities.

In this way, it is easy for people to overcharge.

to hurt the wisdom of the court's employment.

But as soon as these words came out, they didn't wait for He Xi to speak. Zhang Zongde couldn't sit still at first. He scolded sharply, "What does Mr. Kong mean? Are you questioning our ability to learn? Or do you question our intentions for favoritism, please make this clear."
