Zhu Xiongying really wants to make some articles, mainly because some civil servants have their own ideas. It is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. It is probably because their positions are inconsistent, which is why Zhu Xiongying has some ideas now.

The reason is actually very simple. Some deputy examiners headed by Liu Sanwu all felt that the imperial examinations must be fair when selecting scholars. He felt that the quality of articles should be the only criterion, so that fairness could be achieved and good talents could really be obtained.

Liu Sanwu was very determined and said to Lao Zhu, "Your Majesty, the imperial examination is the foundation for the court to recruit talents, and it is the way for scholars to serve the court. If the imperial examination cannot be fair, it will definitely dampen the enthusiasm of the scholars!"

Men Kexin also stood up at this time to support Liu Sanwu, "Your Majesty, students have been in poverty for ten years and have to go through several scientific examinations before they can take the exam. If you let a well-educated person fail the exam based only on your place of origin, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

Fang Xiaoru, a great scholar, also stood up at this time, "Your Majesty, when recruiting scholars, the most important thing for the imperial court is talent and learning! The Ming Dynasty has been in existence for more than 20 years, and the civil administration has been quite effective. If this time cannot be fair, I am afraid that many scholars will be discouraged.

Repeat the embarrassment of the founding of the country!"

Lao Zhu's face immediately turned ugly. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, many literati were unwilling to serve as officials and chose to live in seclusion in the mountains or hang their seals. At that time, Lao Zhu was indeed quite embarrassed.

There are many reasons, some of which are because of the motherland of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, some of which were originally attracted by Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and others, and some of which simply look down on Lao Zhu, who was born in a mud-legged family, or think that Lao Zhu is too harsh.

Was this threatened?

Lao Zhu, who squinted his eyes, snorted coldly, then stood up and left. It seemed that this morning's morning meeting was over.

Zhu Xiongying showed a slight smile and said unhurriedly, "That's it, let's go!"

Seeing that Zhu Xiongying was about to leave, some civil servants immediately rushed over. They needed to have a good chat with the emperor's grandson, and they hoped that the emperor's grandson would change his mind. After all, the examiner of the imperial examination this time was Zhu Xiongying, which naturally had a different meaning.

The ordinary imperial examination candidates can be said to be the emperor's disciples, but only in name. Many new academic scholars also like to regard the examiner as their master, which is their relationship above the court.

But now the Jinshi in this subject can straighten their backs. Even if Zhu Xiongying doesn't admit it, these people can still have the opportunity to say that they are the emperor's disciples. As long as Zhu Xiongying successfully ascends the throne, everything will be easy to talk about.

Liu Sanwu begged a little and said, "Your Highness, think twice!"

But Fang Xiaoru was upright and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Your Highness insists on recruiting scholars from the north, which is unfair to the scholars from the south! When recruiting scholars in the imperial court, the most important thing is talent and learning. When did the selection of scholars in the Ming Dynasty also depend on household registration? Once this example is opened, my Ming Dynasty will

How can the imperial examination be fair and how can it convince the public?"

What Liu Sanwu and Fang Xiaoru said makes sense. This is indeed unfair to the southern scholars and will also make some people lose confidence in the imperial examination. This is the fact. Zhu Xiongying could have guessed these things when he insisted on selecting some northern scholars.

.

Zhang Xin, the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy, also said at this time, "Your Highness, I have also read the essays of the Northern Scholars. They are far different from the essays of the Southern Scholars! If admission is based on essays, none of the Northern Scholars will be able to win!"

Of course Zhu Xiongying also knew that the overall level of the imperial examination this time was not particularly high. Zhu Xiongying only selected 60 people in total. In fact, according to the article, there is really no place for southern scholars in the top 60. Expand

In terms of scope, among the top eighty, the northern scholars actually don't have many qualifications.

Zhu Xiongying asked with a straight face, "Oh? My dear friends, who can tell me why the northern scholars are not doing well in their studies?"

Fang Xiaoru immediately said, "Students in the North do not admire saints! If the imperial court..."

Zhu Xiongying didn't know what to say. The so-called protagonist of the Zhu Shi Clan in history was standing in front of him at this moment.

Fang Xiaoru's father was a small official, and he was also killed because of the empty seal case. Fang Xiaoru was smart since he was a child, and he really studied hard. He was also one of Song Lian's most proud disciples. Fang Xiaoru despised the knowledge of literary writing, and often used the principle of proclaiming benevolence and righteousness to rule.

The way of the world is to achieve peace in the world.

Zhu Xiongying knew that Fang Xiaoru had good character. However, in Zhu Xiongying's view, Fang Xiaoru's thoughts on Zhou etiquette and Huang Zicheng's were actually the same virtues, which made people wonder what to say.

It is true that these people are loyal ministers, and they also have some talents. However, if these people are really reused, it is no surprise that they will be in a mess and use their methods in the books of sages to govern the world. The theory of governing the country more than a thousand years ago,

How can it be applied in today's era, not to mention that those theories may not have been implemented more than a thousand years ago.

But there is no way. Scholars like Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru believe that Zhou Rites are orthodox and only Zhou Rites can create a prosperous age. In fact, there are countless such scholars. There are too many.

These are the people Zhu Xiongying thinks are stupid for reading!

Zhu Xiongying walked away with an unhappy expression. As for the civil servants at this time, they still seemed to have some ideas. Since His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Grand Sun failed to realize some mistakes, and since they did not choose to adopt the criticism, it is even more important at this time.

You need to have firm faith and never back down.

Once you shrink back, you will be a sinner for the ages. By then, the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty will become a joke. By then, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty will no longer have character. By then, they civil servants and great Confucians will be attacked by scholars all over the world, and the children of saints will

Become a joke!

Zhu Xiongying glanced back at Chang Mao, who immediately understood.

After jogging, Chang Mao came to Zhu Xiongying and said, "Your Highness."

"Don't get involved in this matter. Go to the Governor's Mansion and see the capital camp. If it doesn't work, take Yunxi out for hunting." Zhu Xiongying said without hiding anything, "It's good that you know this. If anyone wants to

Come over and let them go!"

Chang Mao immediately said, "I will not hang out with those scholars. This is what I fear most! Don't worry, Your Highness, I will go to train troops tomorrow, but will I pick up a deputy general?"

Zhu Xiongying thought for a while and said, "Take Yunwen away, I'm afraid that boy will also make trouble. If Yunxi is to ask him, he will be too lazy to move. If you are a deputy general, I will assign it to you later."

Chang Mao immediately muttered, "Okay, this will make His Royal Highness..."

Zhu Xiongying glared at Chang Mao. After all, Zhu Yunwen was still his younger brother, so of course he had to look after him. Judging from Zhu Yunwen's performance over the years, he was really stupid at reading and had great faith in the words of some saints. This

The boy also admires and trusts some great scholars immensely.

Zhu Xiongying was really instigated by those great scholars. It was really hard to deal with him. He couldn't kill his relatives in a righteous way!

Let Wang Cheng'en pass the order, Zhu Xiongying still wants to see this troubled brother. As for Zhu Yunxi, forget it, that boy doesn't know where he is happy now. Zhu Yunxi can hide as far away as possible when it comes to matters above the court.

How far. It's not to avoid suspicion, it's just that I don't like and hate him, and I want to be a prince of peace.

When they arrived at Wuying Hall, Zhu Xiongying said, "Grandpa Huang, those people are kneeling at the Meridian Gate."

After receiving the list from Wang Chengen, Lao Zhu said, "Some people really want to do something, thinking about the imperial examination and the imperial court. There are some people who are thinking about reputation."

"If we beat the imperial staff with a stick, they will be loyal ministers. If they are beaten to death, they will probably gain the reputation of criticizing ministers and loyal ministers." Zhu Xiongying became happy and moved a pile of memorials from Lao Zhu's case, "Let's just say

I can't bear to hit them with this imperial staff!"

There are some customs that you cannot get used to. Otherwise, if the civil servants are slightly dissatisfied in the future, they will go to kneel at the Meridian Gate, which will not be a big deal. What's more, if the imperial staff becomes a means for the civil servants to invite names, it will obviously be an even more fatal thing.

Historically, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, many ministers were proud of serving in the imperial staff. It seemed that they became pillars and the conscience of scholars. Talking about things like harming the country is actually similar to those who invite names.

Lao Zhu smiled happily and said, "Then we don't care about this matter?"

Zhu Xiongying said nonchalantly, "No matter what, when the time comes for my grandson to be demoted and killed, the emperor's grace will be mine."

"It's better for us to come forward then, we can kill people easily." Lao Zhu immediately changed his mind. His grandson's skills are a bit dark, "Ying'er, there are many talented people among those scholars, you can put them to good use in the future. We

They are thinking about the hearts of the scholars in the North. What these people think about is the fairness of selecting scholars through the imperial examination, and this is correct!"

Lao Zhu, who was considered to be cruel and bloodthirsty, was trying to persuade Zhu Xiongying to be more lenient, but it was not because Lao Zhu had softened his heart as he got older. At this time, Lao Zhu was actually more bloodthirsty, but he also hoped that Zhu Xiongying would take over smoothly.

"Hasn't the killing started yet? There are always people with ulterior motives who are adding fuel to the flames. Maybe a few will be killed by then." Zhu Xiongying said in a relaxed tone, as if he didn't take it seriously. "When the time comes, Grandpa Huang will demote a few more, Sun.

After my son ascends the throne, I will send you an imperial edict to come back!"

Speaking of this, Lao Zhu suddenly became excited, "Ying'er, we are thinking of relegating some people in these days. One is to let them go down and experience, and the other is to allow you to show mercy after you ascend the throne. At that time, they will

It’s time to be loyal to you!”

Theoretically speaking, there is nothing wrong with what Lao Zhu said. If it was really Zhu Xiongying who recalled those relegated scholars, then it would count as Zhu Xiongying's promotion and kindness to them. If it was disloyal, then it would be unfair

If it's just a social death, he may be regarded as a traitor or a sycophant in history books.

This list must be totaled. Ordinary civil and military officials are not qualified for Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu to plan here, and ordinary civil and military officials are not worthy of their efforts to conquer them.

As for the ministers kneeling at the Meridian Gate, let them continue to kneel. When they kneel, the imperial doctor and eunuchs will help them activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. When they wake up, they can continue to kneel, so as not to affect the character of these saints' children.

As for Zhu Yunwen, he rushed to the Wenhua Palace in a hurry. The emperor had an edict, so he didn't dare to disobey it!
