Suddenly faced with such a major choice, it was inevitable that the tributes would talk about it.

The experience of this class of tributes is naturally the vane of young scholars in the future, so the scope of discussion is naturally rapidly becoming wider and wider.

For thousands of years, only reading is high, that is, because if you read and become famous, you can enter the hall and become an official.

If you are an official, you are a master, how can you be superior?

Not to mention so many practical benefits in the shadows.

At present, even if you are already a leader, you still have to "volunteer" to choose whether to go to the government to be an official?

said that it was voluntary, not forced, but since the direction was divided, if no one chose the other two directions or there were only a few people, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the emperor?

The words of the important ministers' houses have actually spread throughout the New Kegongshi circle in just two or three days.

If there is no way, it is natural to ask those who have a way. Among those who have access to the city for advice, there are also many who are suspicious or simply do not know the city government.

One pass ten, ten pass hundred, everyone knows: it turns out that many important ministers are really persuading some people to choose the direction of the enterprise and the direction of the Academy of Sciences.

This has caused many people to even have a strange imbalance in their hearts: I don't have the ability to be persuaded anymore?

Because there are so many two cities that are shallow and proudly revealed a sentence: Your Majesty's Zhu Pen Imperial Hook, they are already in the emperor's heart of the world to help the people or geniuses of heaven!

"Could it be that serving as an official position, being a father of the monarch and a common people, is not worthy of being a talent who helps the people through the world, but instead delves into business and is greedy for money?"

“…… Didn't this already have a better name before, Dingguo and the people. ”

"Then why are there only two courses, and the Yasukuni Wuluo Department and the Dingguo Security and Civil Science Department are no longer opened?"

“…… Your Majesty is holy and has its own deep meaning. ”

"But if you choose the direction of the government, what will you be despised by the Holy Will in the future?"

“…… Your Majesty has a vast heart, how can this be? Brother Tai said cautiously. ”

"Brother Xuefu, are you still struggling?"

Wang Chonggu came back to his senses when he heard this, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Tang Shunzhi and Yang Bo have all visited, and they did suggest that he choose the direction of the company.

However, the direction of the enterprise is only the way out for the enterprises under the Huangming Assets Bureau, at least in the next ten years.

And for such a long time, there is still a lot of room for maneuver in the affairs of the government. When it comes to the enterprise, it is really only about money, and there is very little room for maneuver. If one is not done well, it is all the emperor's word, and there will never be room for officials and colleagues in the government to explain the difficulties and ask for mercy.

The most important thing is that if you are an official in the enterprise, the Wang family can certainly get the opportunity to develop faster, but the binding is more clear and obvious. If something really happens, it will definitely implicate the Wang family.

How can this compare to being an official in the government, only needing to point in some directions and introduce some people?

"Isn't this a rush to decide the future in one fell swoop?" Someone was indignant, "How can the imperial court only give me more than half a month to wait for a decision?" There should always be a charter for how the direction of the enterprise and the Academy of Sciences will be awarded and transferred in the future, so that I can consider it carefully! ”

"Brother Bozai, you are Huiyuan, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Wang Chonggu also looked at one person.

This person's surname is Shen Mingkun, and he is thirty-five this year. In the recent examinations of these subjects, he is the oldest among those who have won the first place in the examination.

After the syllabus is revised, those who can adapt to the new syllabus are often very talented and receptive to new things.

Those who are a little older do suffer more in this regard.

And this Shen Kun was almost thirty years old before he was promoted.

Before the exam, many people didn't expect that he would win the yuan in the end. A few days ago, he also visited Liu Tianhe, who had been living in Huai'an, who had been the head of the river and had stayed in Huai'an for many years.

Unlike Wang Chonggu, Liu Tianhe's guidance to Shen Kun was to suggest that he choose the direction of the Academy of Sciences.

The first choice of this direction in the Huili test was to let him lead the others, or did he really win the emperor's attention in these aspects? And if he can win the first place in the examination, I am afraid that it will also indicate the direction of the temple examination questions.

Shen Kun replied happily: "I like a lot, and I have always been upright. Liu Guolao is reasonable, I am indeed more suitable to do some learning. ”

“…… Brother Shen, do you really want to be an official? ”

"Admitted to the Academy of Sciences as a doctor, also has an official title."

“…… How can that ......?"

Faced with many disappointed expressions, Shen Kun stood up and arched his hand: "The Ministry of Culture and Education already has a clear text, and the questions for the hall examination are different in each direction. Now that I've made up my mind, I'll go back and make more preparations, and you will discuss it slowly. ”

This is a hostel, and all the discussions here are about staying here to take the exam.

Shen Kun was knocked on the door and pulled in, and he couldn't help but attend.

Now that he had spoken, he went back again.

Wang Chonggu looked at his back thoughtfully.

After a while, he stood up firmly: "Since Your Majesty and the princes have decided on this system, I don't think you have to worry about what happened, so you should make a decision as soon as possible." The palace test is imminent, how can it change course? ”

"Xuefu has made a decision?"

Wang Chonggu pretended to smile bitterly: "If you visit and ask for advice and don't listen to advice, isn't it impossible to teach?" ”

As soon as he said this, there were even more people who were disappointed.

Everyone is so keen to discuss this matter, don't they just want to try to see if they can unify their opinions, so that the court can see that all the tributes are criticized?

But Wang Chonggu's words are very true: The important ministers of the court specially pointed the way for you, but you didn't listen, didn't that make the emperor and the princes who now look at you differently have a problem in their hearts?

This trick is really a bit detrimental......

Since ancient times, it has been said that learning to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family.

Now that they are already in high school, they will not be removed from the list next, and they must all have the best background, how do the emperor and the court want to arrange them, so can they still be allowed to put more beaks?

If you are not satisfied, you can resign and go home.

Instead of forcing you to choose those directions, you can't volunteer to serve in the government?

Now, it's just that they are a little confused by this sudden arrangement, and instinctively want to hold together and resist change.

Wang Chonggu looked in the direction of Shen Kun's door again and walked into his room.

His family was very rich, and he could have paid a high price to go to the Zhuangyuan Residence next to the Gongyuan Courtyard of the Tongyi Bureau. There are all children from very good families, who are either rich or noble, and they are more high-end circles.

But Hui Yuan was in his hostel.

What's next?

There are three directions in the palace test, so will the previous Sandingjia also have a new meaning?

It's no longer just a champion.

The questions in the test are all different, what is the comparison?

What is the first grade, the second grade, the third grade...... After passing the test, they are just tributes.

How does the country use soldiers, and don't talk about how many names in the future?

Perhaps, many people who could only get the top three in the first place were happy to see it happen.

Because everyone is the same, they all just try to take the test.

As for the ranking in the same direction, I am afraid that when the official luck is not smooth in the future, I can also regret a sentence: after half a life, I realized that I am more suitable for another direction.

It's as if the temple tried to choose a different direction, the number of lives would be different.

Wang Chonggu pushed open the door.

Now that your heart has been decided, you don't have to deliberately hide the imprint of your big businessman family.

If the emperor is inseparable from this way of doing business, he can also have a huge influence.

He believes he has that potential.

In the other room, where is Shen Kun studying his homework? He's writing letters.

[You are loyal to my brother, and your talent is better than ten continents. Over the years, my brother has been fascinated by His Majesty's physical avenue, and Jun Ze has been full of ideas and writings. Today's examination system has been overhauled, and my brother has made up his mind to seek the road. Jun's masterpiece has been drafted, and you can try the science again. The younger brother heard Liu Guo's old words and His Majesty's ambition, Chinese culture should be declared in the world, and it is in need of such talents as Brother Ru Zhong. His Majesty's Royal Approval of the Three Kingdoms ...... in the past]

The person he wrote to was a friend who was slightly older than him, named Wu Chengen.

And Shen Kun himself is actually the champion of Jiajing's 20-year subject.

His reputation in later generations is far less than that of Wu Chengen, but the most important deeds in his lifetime are: in order to resist the Japanese, he personally recruited and trained the villagers, and he was called the champion soldier.

is obviously born as a literary champion, but he has left the name of Wu Zhuangyuan among the people.

Shen Kun said that he liked a lot, which was not false at all. His talent is actually very high, but the things he likes are too miscellaneous. When he was young, he read everything by Shi Zile and Zhuzi Baijia, and he was extremely smart, otherwise how could he become friends with Wu Chengen, who was also scattered?

And since the emergence of the new knowledge of "Physics Avenue", he has become addicted to it.

For his liking, his father, who did not know how to learn and only knew how to do business to earn money to raise his son, used to always use the money he earned to buy books and cultural relics for him to study, and later he had to buy all kinds of new things.

For example, the first bicycle in Huai'an that year.

Now Shen Kun began to pry Wu Chengen, and there was one meaning in and out of his words: In the past few years, you have always failed to pass the exam, not because you can't do it, but because you didn't find the right direction and were too distracted like me. Look at my brother, I'll try first!

Shen Kun knew that Wu Chengen would be a little sour, because he knew that guy still wanted to get ahead.

Acid is right.

All in all, Liu Tianhe said to him: Now it's only three directions, so what is it? In the future, there will probably be many more directions, such as those specializing in literary and artistic creation.

Changed to the Yuan Dynasty and named China, His Majesty's grand plan also included cultural prosperity.

Otherwise, why would the Ministry of Rites and Communications set up a separate music and art department?

The first people to be touched by the new rules of the palace examination knew that Daming was brewing an updated examination system and syllabus. The study of the imperial examination, which will henceforth be called science, has many subjects.

And being an official is only one of the subjects.

But for the official section, it is still the most attractive.

Among the new Kegongshi, the twenty-two-year-old Tan Lun still chose the direction of the government without hesitation.

This is not only because he is really not very interested in the direction of enterprise and the Academy of Sciences, but also because when he went to visit Yan Song, a fellow villager in Jiangxi, Yan Song received him very warmly, saying that His Majesty knows your name and hopes that you will be a good official in the future.

Why did the emperor know Tan Lun's name, Tan Lun didn't know.

But most of the people whose names were known by the emperor in advance were extraordinary, so Yan Song's enthusiasm for him, Tan Lun understood.

Now, he has a lot of expectations for his future.

In the palace, Zhu Houxi listened to Lu Bingyu's report on the movements of the tributes, and finally only smiled.

"It's good to have a discussion. Let the world's scholars remember what the purpose of studying and taking the imperial examination is this, this is the country's talent ceremony, and the selection of scholars is for the needs of the country. For hundreds of thousands of years, the achievement of the imperial examination is for the sake of becoming an official, and the sooner it changes, the better. ”

Lu Bing didn't care about this, he just said: "According to the current momentum, if the syllabus and the strategy of the examination system are promulgated in the world, there will be more discussions." Did you make some preparations first? ”

"No special preparation is required." Zhu Houxi shook his head, "The world's elites have gathered in Ketu, and I have changed the final way out from one to many." I was born with talent, this is short and the other is long, and the road that only aims to be an official is more competitive, but the other roads are loose? More people who feel that they are more likely to stand out if they try a different path, but the body will be honest. From now on, until the township examination or the graduation of middle school, only the basics will be learned. Then choose a direction and specialize in one, it is easier to succeed, it is better than everyone just drilling the four books and five classics. ”

"Obey."

Since the emperor said so, he didn't do anything.

According to Lu Bing's understanding, this kind of large-scale event that affects the future of scholars all over the world was unimaginable in the past.

But now, the emperor really didn't care more and more about the comments of the scholars.

Zhu Houxi looked at Lu Bing: "You are in charge of the brocade guards, and you are still paying attention to the words and deeds of the official gentry for me, and you must understand that there are pros and cons in public opinion in this world, and there are also light and heavy." The process of discussing something new is also a process of publicity. In this process, there are those who agree and those who oppose it. However, those who agree with one thing often cannot argue with those who oppose it, because approval needs to be supported in the future, and opposition only needs to cite precedents from the past. ”

“…… Your Majesty's words are very true. ”

"Whoever is against it, let him oppose it. If it's just talking, what's the concern? As long as they do not do anything to prevent governance or even attempt to subvert because of this opposition, then they just have to watch patiently. Remember, although the Jinyi Guards are not as powerful as before, the Jinyi Guards who have been standing still are more terrifying than the Jinyi Guards who take the door from time to time. Zhu Houxi said lightly, "You don't have to show your majesty, but you know everything, in this way, the clear-minded officials will always keep 'Daming and a Jinyi Guard' in their hearts." ”

Lu Bing thought to himself, there is also an internal inspection factory.

One in the light, one in the dark.

Jinyiwei's tentacles in the local area are the special service teams placed by the secret service station under the system of the Department of Public Security. Their role, in addition to helping the Public Security Department handle major cases, is to arrange them in the local government offices in the name of protecting important officials.

And the internal inspection factory, they are either a small shop owner, or a small businessman, or whose family is the housekeeper and housekeeper, who knows?

Over the years, there has never been a single official who has committed a crime and has been prosecuted in the end, and only on the grounds of some "secret talks" and "conspiracy," but on the basis of mistakes and crimes in official duties. According to the map, with the power of the factory guard, what evidence can not be found? What can't be led from the beginning?

A small case is just a big one.

And the people who first went to sue for something, who knows if he is an informant from the internal investigation factory?

It's just that if the General Department of Public Security finally dispatches a special service team to get people, some people will think in hindsight: This is a decision from above, a decision of the emperor.

Zhu Houxi once again told Lu Bing some thoughts, and then arranged: "Let the special service teams in various places open their eyes a little wider, but the new measurement standards that will be implemented this year may be used by local officials to harm people." In order for the people to accept this, there needs to be a group of examples to let them know that this is good governance. The standards of Daming are more unified and more accurate, which is a necessary foundation for the further development of all walks of life. ”

"The minister knows, and the minister will go back to make arrangements."

Zhu Houxi paused, and then asked: "Qingyi took the two of them, how many days have you been watching?" ”

Lu Bing smiled when he heard this: "If you want to see more, it's not easy." The eldest princess is a person who has come over, and she will persuade her with good words. ”

Zhu Houxi sighed: "In the blink of an eye, I have to worry about the marriage of my children." I hope they can have a good idea, and when they see it, you can help me check the character of the behavior. ”

Lu Bing said: "The ministers have already checked it, Your Majesty wants to take a look, and the ministers can go back and get it." ”

Zhu Houxi picked up the imperial pen and nodded at him with a smile.

As a father, the two daughters who are already old, and now it's time to think about marriage.

Although the eldest is only seventeen years old now, they will try only once every three years, and this is undoubtedly the best opportunity for them to choose by themselves.

If not, then he still has to do it.

The inertia of the atmosphere of the times is here, and it is difficult for Zhu Houxi to let them engage in free love. If they don't let themselves have a choice now, won't it be a problem for middle-aged and elderly people to complain about his father's choice in the future?

After thinking about it, Zhu Houxi said: "You let Qingyi blow the wind, saying that those who choose the direction of the Academy of Sciences are better, and they will be in Beijing in the future." Those who are officials and go to enterprises will naturally have to run everywhere in the future. After all, I was born as a tribute, and thousands of troops came from a single-plank bridge, so I didn't want to stay in the capital. Without training, it is difficult to become a great tool. They don't like to read, they don't like your brocade guard. I think about it, maybe I can devote myself to the study of physics. ”

"The minister turned back to the eldest princess to convey the holy will."

Zhu Houxi nodded, and asked again, "Where is the prince?" ”

"In Xuzhou, I arrived at the Fengxian River Embankment Construction Site."

"Where to go?" Zhu Houxi was a little surprised, "What are you doing there?" ”

"The three of them went to the construction site to help, the one who did the paperwork did the paperwork, and the one who went to the construction site went to the construction site."

“…… Qi Jiguang is on the construction site? Zhu Houxi smiled dumbly, "Okay, let them also do something." ”

After that, he stood up: "I'm going to move too." You have finished your official business today, and you will run with me. ”

There are more concubines in the harem, and they are getting older, so they need to exercise even more.

In the palace that has been replanned and renovated, there is now a special site in the northwest corner of the palace area where the concubines of the previous emperors lived. Running here doesn't always have to cross some threshold door.

Lu Bing's heart was a little strange, after all, every time he accompanied the emperor over, there was always no shortage of concubines and their young children.

Sure enough, the same is true today.

Zhu Houxi was wearing a changed pair of clothes and pants, looked at a few boys and waved his hand: "Don't fight to run, just practice, it's important to persevere." ”

The Ming Dynasty has an emperor who loves to run, and there is a prince who loves to run.

Lu Bing followed aside, listening to the princesses over there shouting "Brother work harder" and "Brother hurry up", and could only look at the back of the emperor in front of him speechlessly.

Your words don't work, you're pleading with the princes.

Zhu Houxi just smiled and looked at his cubs, you chase me.

Vibrant, how nice.
