"Who can be handsome?"

When Zhu Yijun was in the Wenhua Palace, he told Zhang Juzheng about Chen Lan's worries.

Zhang Juzheng was also quite enlightened, and secretly remembered what Zhu Yijun had just asked.

Zhang Juzheng is different from the ordinary central ruling ministers, attaches great importance to the imperial armament, and is also willing to give the military attache more power, so that the military attache has more room to play.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng listened and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the minister, since this Chen Lu has sensed that the empire should have handsome talents, then this person may be able to cultivate him." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded: "I also have this intention, and I want to accept his words, set up a military and political institute, as a place for reserve superintendent to study, and be taught by experienced border ministers!" ”

"In addition, they also regularly select outstanding people from among the local general soldiers, and let them enter the military and political institutes to study, and then transfer to civilian posts in the future, so as to avoid their slack off after a long period of actual promotion, and secondly, they can also be promoted to civilian posts to release their military power and avoid more and more combatants; Third, they can also give full play to their actual combat talents to make up for the shortcomings of many soldiers who do not know soldiers. ”

"At the beginning of this dynasty, there were cases of military generals being transferred to civilian positions, and the King of Zhongshan was transferred to a civilian position as a military attaché, and in the past Song Dynasty, there were also cases of King E, King Qi and other privy envoys, and what His Majesty said was a good policy, and the ministers obeyed the order."

"It's just that I'm afraid that people will be unconvinced, especially the civil servants who exercise the power of the commander, think that they have studied hard for more than ten years and have repeatedly made military achievements, why should they have the same opportunity to be in charge of the military with the warriors?"

"In this way, it may be that those who eventually move from martial arts will all follow the martial arts for the convenience of changing their careers to civilian positions, rather than really being bad at the imperial examination."

"And this will make most of the people selected by the martial arts are those who are talented in literature, and those who are not strong in cavalry and archery, because the current imperial court military selection has actually emphasized the literary examination of the saint's knowledge and can be qualified for the cavalry and archery soldiers, but because of the noble and light martial arts, the scholars are not selected from the military and from the literature, but if the difference between civil and military is broken, there will be those who are afraid of the difficulty of the literary selection to follow the military selection."

"In this way, it will be more difficult for people who are not outstanding in literature but who are very good at riding and shooting, and it will be more difficult to be a martial artist or a martial artist."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this, he understood what Zhang Juzheng meant.

It's nothing more than that the Daming Imperial Examination has actually been very rolly.

Especially the liberal arts examination.

Because of the noble and martial arts, many people choose the liberal arts examination, so that there are actually many failures in the liberal arts examination.

A large proportion of those who can't afford to pass the exam in a lifetime just say that history doesn't record the stories of losers.

Therefore, it gives people the feeling that it seems that it is easy for a literati in history to gain fame.

In fact, some provinces have produced a few jinshi in the entire history of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and according to the fixed number of dozens of people in each province and each session, it can be said that most of the people in some provinces failed to pass the jinshi in the end.

And now, once the boundary between military attaché and civilian official is broken, many scholars who are unwilling to go to the liberal arts examination, especially those from relatively good families and those who have the conditions to train martial arts, will directly transfer to the military imperial examination, and take a shortcut to directly participate in the military imperial examination and then transfer from military to civilian service.

Anyway, they are also related to each other as children from good families, and it is not difficult to transfer military skills from martial arts to literature.

It's just that this will make it more difficult for many people from military backgrounds or children of middle and lower-class military families to be discovered by the imperial court through martial arts.

After all, once the majority of scholars pour in the martial arts, it will raise the threshold for admission to the martial arts examination.

In fact, the serious involution in the land of China has always existed.

Especially in the middle and late dynasties, the imperial examination originally had highly specialized subjects such as arithmetic and medicine to admit technical officials, but the reason why it was cancelled one after another was because many scholars only took these subjects as a shortcut to enter the bureau.

Many scholars who took the examination for arithmetic, medicine, and law put aside their majors once they obtained official positions, and seriously engaged in their careers.

Originally, the imperial court wanted to have a few more technocrats, but in the end, there were many more people who had to compete for central and local officials, and the so-called technocrats had already taken the initiative to assimilate into bureaucrats without any technical accumulation.

Otherwise, Zhang Juzheng would not have thought of this.

"That being the case, it seems that before letting the military officer transfer to the military, it is necessary to let the military attache also participate in the literary examination, so as to convince people, and to avoid those who try to take shortcuts, either from the hospital examination and the township examination to obtain the qualification for the examination, or from the border towns to fight hard to obtain the qualification for the examination as a general soldier."

After Zhu Yijun said this, he asked: "In this way, the corporal of the world can always be convinced and dare not take shortcuts, right?" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"This is more conducive to the children of the small people to take charge of the army for His Majesty in the future, but it will not make the children of ordinary military families who are martial arts cut off the way that they cannot be His Majesty's commanders and ministers in the future."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

"If you want to come to more than 1,000 military attachés, you won't be able to afford to invite literati to teach you to read!"

After Zhu Yijun nodded and said, he said: "Then use this to draft an edict and send it to the military department!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Zhu Yijun originally wanted to talk about the reform of the imperial examination, but he couldn't be in a hurry, because science still occupies an absolute dominant position, and it would be better to wait for changes in social production relations and even the ideological field before considering changing the content of the imperial examination.

"Give me this set of Song edition of "Notes on the Four Books" to Chen Luan. He should be able to understand what I mean. ”

Zhu Yijun took out his set of "Notes on the Four Books" when he returned to the Qianqing Palace and handed it to Zhang Hong on duty.

Zhang Hong hurriedly said yes.

After Zhang Juzheng returned to the cabinet, Zhang Siwei handed Zhang Juzheng a note and said: "Uncle, this is the good news of Liaodong that ordered his protégé Liaodong to rush into Beijing according to Liu Tai, the imperial historian!" ”

Zhang Juzheng furrowed his brows after hearing this, and said: "The inspector has no right to supervise military affairs, nor does he have the right to report military merits. ”

When Zhang Siwei saw Zhang Juzheng saying this, he couldn't help but persuade: "Maybe it's just a matter of retribution, not to mention that both the governor and the governor are all imperial history, and it's nothing to talk about things." Uncle, don't be too harsh. ”

"It's not a matter of reproach!"

"Because he did well in the exam, he was specially promoted to patrol and went to Liaodong to experience border politics, but as a result, as a royal history, he violated the system first! What kind of reason is this, he can report military merits for the governor today, will he be able to mobilize troops and horses for the governor tomorrow, and will he dare to behead the military ministers on behalf of the governor the day after tomorrow? ! ”

"What does this mean?"

After Zhang Juzheng said that, he returned to his room and immediately wrote a private letter reprimanding Liu Tai, but he did not directly vote to dismiss his student on the grounds of disorderly control, but the words in the letter were quite harsh.

Zhang Juzheng has always been strict with his students.

You must know that it is Wanli, the emperor's student, and he urges him very tightly, not to mention other students who do not have the status of a monarch.

It's just that Liu Tai didn't receive the love of this strict master, as soon as Zhang Juzheng's private message accusing him arrived in Liaodong, he took the case on the spot after reading it, and read it again: "As a patrolman, the first thing is to mess up, and in the future, because of this, the governor of the country will restrict the governor's command, and the war will be defeated, and the national fortune will be damaged, and even the country will be destroyed!" Can you afford to take responsibility for this bad system?! ”

Although Zhang Juzheng's worries did manifest themselves in the late Ming Dynasty, the patrol of the imperial history of these officials hindered and supervised the side affairs that were repeatedly affected, not once or twice in the future, and the phenomenon of mutual restraint of large and small imperial historians led to the deterioration of military affairs is indeed becoming more and more serious.

But after Liu Tai was reprimanded by Zhang Juzheng, he did not quickly admit his mistake, but directly went to a note to impeach Zhang Juzheng.

More than a month later, on the 23rd day of the first month of the fourth year of Wanli.

As soon as Zhu Yijun came back from Jingwei Martial Arts, Zhang Hong walked over and said, "Emperor! Mr. Yuanfu Zhang was impeached by his protégé Liu Tai! listed several major sins of Mr. Yuanfu Zhang who messed with the ancestral system and acted as a blessing! ”

Zhu Yijun sank his face after hearing this, and then sneered: "I have said a long time ago, Fu Yingzhen is not the last, and those who oppose it if they don't kill will only become more and more ruthless, look, this time it is his protégé who directly reveals the bottom of his teacher!" ”

"Go to Mr. Xuan!"
