Chapter 303, don't take the test? Then don't take the test!
"Your Majesty, the turmoil has spread out of Sichuan, and there are also people in Guizhou, Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, Hebei and other places, or going to the official mansion, or gathering people to protest, and even similar incidents have occurred in Hubei and Anhui."
Imperial Palace.
In the imperial study room of the Qinzheng Palace.
Gong Zhuman, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was reporting to Emperor Zhu on the "student movement" that was taking place in the newly recovered provinces.
Although it is said that Emperor Zhu is actually ready for the "conservative forces" to counterattack.
But the scope of the impact this time still gave him a headache.
It spread from Sichuan to Guizhou, Henan and other places.
It has affected almost the entire Central Plains and Southwest China.
It can be said that the new Ming Dynasty has been the biggest domestic political challenge since the founding of the country.
And Emperor Zhu can be sure that this time it can spread so quickly to the whole country.
It must have something to do with the acquiescence of local magistrates.
No way.
Who let the current officials in the Ming Dynasty are all Confucian scholars.
Let them take the initiative to impeach these readers.
It's simply not possible.
Emperor Zhu now hopes that the students who graduated in May this year from four universities, namely Daohua University, Nanyang University, Zhongdu University, and Nandu University, which have gone through a one-year preparatory department and a four-year university education, will be able to enter all aspects of society as soon as possible.
The ideal of changing the whole of Chinese society.
It's really not enough to rely on Emperor Zhu alone.
With the authority of the Founding Emperor, he could force many things.
But once he died, if there was not a new class of interest in the existence.
Then the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty may be like the blueprints of the treasure ships that were destroyed in history, and they were counterattacked by conservative forces, and people died in politics.
Come to think of it.
Emperor Zhu couldn't help but have a sense of urgency.
The education system must be comprehensively reformed!
But now urgently.
Or how to suppress the current mess.
"The chaos in Sichuan, to calm down is just a matter of the emperor's words, this time in the final analysis is because the pace of reform is too big, the people in the world can't accept it for a while, many people are already thirty-four years old, and it is difficult to learn something new at this age."
Qinzheng Palace, Qin Ying, a scholar of the Hongru Academy, said loudly.
Qin Ying, Jiangsu, Wuxi, Confucianism, study in two rivers, peach and plum all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
The influence is great.
And it is different from Li Tiaoyuan and Zhang Wentao, who are dedicated to living and studying.
Qin Ying is still a bit of an official's "self-motivated".
However, Emperor Zhu didn't think much of these Confucian officials' ability to be officials.
So I just arranged for this great Confucian to be a scholar of the Hong Confucian Academy.
There is no actual power, it is just equivalent to recruiting the position of a committee member to suppress evil.
After all, there are still quite a lot of students among these Confucians, and they have a wide range of local connections and connections, and they still have some united front value.
The power is small, the status is high, and the influence is great.
So there is no way to speak.
"I'm thirty-four years old, what kind of imperial examination do I take, it's better to learn the skills of the disciples as soon as possible."
Peng Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Education, said coldly.
"This is a mistake, the dynasty is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is the Tianzi Hall, this is the ideal of the generation of scholars, if you can't take the exam at the age of thirty-four, isn't it a broken thought?" Qin Ying shook his head in disagreement. "Now that the country has been decided, it should still focus on stability, even if the test is eight articles, what can happen?"
"What's the use of a scholar who can only do eight-strand articles?" Gu Song shook his head again and again in opposition.
Now that the imperial court implements the politics of "showing talent as officials", if you don't know how to learn from practice, how to clear the locality, how to clear taxes and govern the people? Can those talents who can only write eight articles do things, have you seen it in the past few years and it's not clear? If you can't even do local things well, can you still let them be a parent official in the future? ”
Qin Ying said: "Gu Xiang, you don't know the true intention of the imperial examination, right?" ”
"I know it, but I'm now Chongwen but I don't suppress martial arts, when it's the Spring and Autumn Period in troubled times, when all countries are competing for hegemony, how can I use the set of cage wise men to let the elite of a country be confined to the eight articles and don't ask about the facts, how can I be foolish and weak in the troubled times of the Warring States!" Gu Song immediately retorted.
He is one of the "Three Hundred Old Brothers Meritorious Group".
As the hardcore of Emperor Zhu.
Even as a Confucian scholar, he actually agreed that the content of Confucianism should account for more of the imperial examinations.
But on this occasion.
He had to stand unequivocally in favor of the emperor.
The three hundred old brothers were the emperor's greatest weight to balance the power of the Confucian scholars and doctors in the court.
Gu Song's ass can't be crooked.
Qin Ying was a little annoyed: "Gu Xiang, the problem now is that the scholars in Sichuan are boycotting the exam, and the scholars in all provinces are also unstable, if you don't take a step back, I'm afraid that there will be chaos in the local area." ”
Right now.
He is also a member of the evil suppression committee of the Confucian Academy. Well, it's the scholar who spoke.
It was also Zhang Huiyan, a great Confucian in the Liangjiang region, who spoke.
"It's better to take a step back, the key at the moment is to stabilize the four sides first, and if it is decided today, it is better to act prudently."
Right now.
There has not been much sense of existence in the court, but Qian Heng, who was placed in the position of the speaker of the parliament by Emperor Zhu, said: "Sichuan scholars are nothing more than boycotting the examination, in fact, the matter of Xiucai becoming an official is beneficial to Sichuan scholars, they don't take the examination, just send some officials from other places to the past." ”
Qian Heng was the bookkeeper of Emperor Zhu's business in Europe before.
He was the governor of the Strait Governor's Mansion for a while, and he was in the Daming Royal Bank for a while, and now he is placed in the position of Speaker.
Naturally, it is also the mouthpiece of Emperor Zhu in the court.
Now the Ming Dynasty has a parliament though.
But this parliament is not a parliament by universal suffrage.
Half of the votes were given to the nobles, and the local authorities had to distribute the "votes" according to the amount of taxes.
In addition, Emperor Zhu was able to designate some meritorious deeds as a member of parliament.
Therefore, this Ming Council is a proper applaudation council, which is completely the embodiment of the will of the Ming Emperor. Now Qian Heng, the "representative of the emperor's will", has spoken.
Everyone was naturally silent and didn't dare to fight him.
Just look at the great tomorrow who is sitting on the throne.
Emperor Zhu saw that all the ministers stopped talking.
He opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Ling Cang, Mr. Yiming, you two will go to Sichuan to listen to the opinions of the scholars, if they feel that the change is too drastic, the imperial examination can be suspended for a year, but the syllabus is absolutely impossible to change, if they are not willing to take the test, then do not take the test!" The imperial examination is not examined, and the public bureau election in Sichuan is also suspended, and the military politics of Sichuan are temporarily used! In addition, according to the decree of the three clans, those who have unpaid taxes are not allowed to serve as civil officials and are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations!! ”
Qin Ying and Zhang Huiyan looked at each other and were stunned.
Listen to the scholars' opinions, and they will understand.
How can the style of painting be changed and it will involve tax arrears?
Is this to rectify the rule of officials?
