Chapter 743: The Great Reform
"Because of this, we ordered the king of Chu to rebuild the national school, invite famous teachers all over the world, and set some new courses to teach college students. Following the example of the Tang Dynasty, Guozi University set up six schools and one museum.
"Six scholars, one is classics, two is law, three is arithmetic, four is computing, five is engineering, and six is science. If there is a museum, the Guangwen Museum is also ......"
When he heard this, the hundred officials were full of doubts...... They know that the first three and the last are ancient.
Ji Xue can barely understand that the Song Dynasty had a plan for finance, so it should be about the degree branch, the household department, and the salt and iron.
But what is engineering, they can only guess, is it the Ministry of Engineering construction engineering, water conservancy construction?
As for the science of Narausch, I can't guess what it is......
But the content behind the holy decree, they clearly understood, and only listened to the king of Chu read:
"We have set a deadline for the reopening of the imperial examination in four years, and non-college students cannot apply for it. The imperial examination is divided into seven fields, namely, economics, law, calculation, calculation, engineering, science, and Guangwen. College students can choose two exams.
Among them, those who pass the scripture test and the law will be awarded the law study jinshi, and they will enter the Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Yushitai to view politics.
Those who pass the trial calculation and calculation will be awarded the household study and the household department will observe the government.
Those who pass the trial calculation and work will be awarded the engineering scholar and enter the Ministry of Engineering to observe the government.
Those who pass the examination and Guangwen will be awarded the Rite Scholar and enter the Ministry of Rites to observe the government.
Those who pass the trial calculation and subject will be awarded the scientific jinshi, and will be admitted to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Maritime Administration Yamen, and the Military Department to observe the government......"
The sixth child didn't finish reading it above, and there was already an uproar in the entire Biyong.
At first glance, the officials were quite happy to resume the imperial examination. However, after listening to it, the emperor actually made a sub-discipline to take scholars, not to mention, but also to award sub-disciplines.
Now the whole house is shocked! The civil officials can't accept it in their hearts - since the Tang Dynasty, Jinshi has been synonymous with the country's top talents! It is a symbol of the status of the reader, representing the honor and privilege they dream of!
The content of the Jinshi examination is within the scope of the Four Books and Five Classics from beginning to end. This is also the supreme magic weapon for Confucianism to fully control the scholars, and then control the public opinion and bureaucracy of the entire country, as well as the direction of policies and the fortunes of the country.
It is an absolutely indispensable magic weapon for Confucian disciples, and no one is allowed to get a piece of the pie!
The emperor is good now, and he directly divided the jinshi into five types: law, household, work, etiquette, and department!
The five horses are divided, and they belong to yes!
If you learn engineering and arithmetic, you can be admitted to the Jinshi, is it like talk? Now the jinshi is going to be completely worthless!
And why are the rest of the disciplines on a par with the Four Books and the Five Classics? Isn't this exalting them and belittling the Confucian scriptures?
It can only be said that they are really accurate...... That's the idea of the sixth.
In the past, Dong Zhongshu deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, and today His Royal Highness the King of Chu will break the monopoly of Confucianism and restore the contention of a hundred schools!
But no one is willing to lose the position of the protagonist, especially in this era of expulsion of Tartars and the revival of Confucianism, the backlash is even greater!
~~
"Whose idea is this, it is purely to confuse the Holy Hearing and demean the Holy Religion!" Patiently waited for the sixth child to finish reciting the holy decree, and immediately an official questioned on the spot:
"It's the king!" The sixth child slowly rolled up the holy decree and handed it to Song Ne, and then said coldly: "Where do you see that this king is derogating Confucianism?" ”
"Let our Confucian learning, on a par with those sideways, be the most serious derogatory!" The emotions of the officials in the audience were even more excited than just now, and they hated to pounce on them and eat the sixth child.
"That is, any crooked and evil way can also be awarded to Jinshi, and this Jinshi can not be examined!"
"Can you represent the world's scholars?" The sixth sneered and asked, "Ask the college students behind you, do they take this kind of jinshi test?!" ”
"Exam! Test! Test! Thousands of college students responded together, like a tsunami, completely masking the noise.
The sudden outburst of cries frightened the officials in front of them to turn their heads one after another, and their hearts beat drums one by one...... I don't know where His Royal Highness the King of Chu found such a large group of college students who don't take Confucianism seriously?
As everyone knows, these college students have today's decision, in fact, it is still thanks to them!
After the success of the pilot project of the Jiangxi Yellow Book the year before last, Boss Zhu Longyan Dayue had issued an order to participate in the pilot work.
The purpose was naturally to train these staff members who had practical work experience and had passed the severe test into official officials for the use of the imperial court.
However, this was met with fierce resistance from the civil and official clique, and the Guozi School also strictly guarded against it, refusing to go through the admission procedures for them, and preventing those former accountants and agents who did not understand the words of the saints and could only write and calculate to step into the sacred campus.
Their motives are also well understood, one is that they disdain to be in the company of these people. Second, it is necessary to maintain the purity of Guozixue and the ranks of officials, and absolutely not allow non-Confucians to mix in batches.
Originally, they were all ready to make a fuss, but those prospective students who could not enter Guozi School by virtue of the holy decree did not make trouble, but left Nanjing directly by boat, went down the river, and disappeared without a trace.
No one knew where they went, and no one cared where they went, so over time, the Manchu officials forgot about this group of people.
I didn't expect that a year later, those people would come back again.
Therefore, for a while, no one connected the more than 3,000 college students in front of them with the prospective students who were denied admission......
These prospective students who were rejected by Guozixue and hated the civilian-official group were the killer of Lao Liu, and they were also the confidence for him and Boss Zhu to dare to carry out big reforms!
After a year of training and militarized management by Han Yike and Yu Tongyuan on Chongming Island, these prospective students have changed greatly. Not only did I have a lot more ink in my stomach, but I also became more hard-working, and my organizational discipline was greatly strengthened.
Even if Seon lost his horse, he didn't know if it was a blessing......
~~
Amid the thanksgiving voices of these college students, the opposition of those officials did not make any waves.
When the noise subsided, the opening ceremony was over.
Eunuch Wu sang: "Retreat!" ”
"Congratulations to the emperor!" Hu Weiyong immediately replied loudly.
"The ministers send the emperor to ......," the officials had no choice but to follow, but their voices were uneven and weak.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't care at all.
He stepped down from the throne with the crown prince, and then helped Hu Weiyong up with his own hands and said, "Hu Xiang, accompany us all the way." ”
"Yes." Hu Weiyong carried a cane and followed Boss Zhu out of Biyong and boarded the imperial chariot.
"Drive back to the palace......" Eunuch Wu dragged out a long sound, and the imperial chariot slowly started, and under the escort of the king of Chu and the hundred officials, he left Guozixue.
As soon as the holy car left here, all the officials immediately cheered, surrounded the sixth child, and fought with righteous indignation.
