The imperial examination is based on Confucianism and taking into account the overall examination?!

Chu Tianxiu's eyes narrowed and looked at the Prime Minister Kong Hanyou opposite him.

He is not stupid.

The ambition of Confucianism to "depose all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone" is not a day or two, but lasts for hundreds of years.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucian scholars did not take much advantage.

The pre-Qin Dynasty was hit by a major blow to "burning books and burying scholars". The Great Chu Dynasty was established for more than 70 years, and Huang and Lao were in power.

The emperors did not like Confucianism, so they always had a dream of respecting Confucianism alone. But the dream of Confucianism being a high-ranking official will never die.

Nowadays, private schools in hundreds of counties and counties in Dachu are full of Confucian scholars. In terms of number of people alone, they are already far ahead and can achieve unprecedented great achievements.

Kong Hanyou was already defeated in the debate, but he wanted to use this slowdown strategy and delay for another 10 or 20 years to allow more Confucian officials in the court to appear.

Among the three dukes and nine ministers of the court, none of the other eleven high-ranking officials were willing to stand up and support Confucianism.

Chu Tianxiu knew very well that as long as he took advantage of the victory and pursued the situation, he insisted on "the general examination of the imperial examination, and Confucianism was one of them", he would not let it go, and Kong Hanyou had no choice at all.

He was about to speak, but the emperor Xiang Yanran, who was sitting in the Sima Palace Gate Hall, suddenly spoke.

"I have already understood the pros and cons of the debate between Kong Xiang and Xiao Hunhou.

Kong Xiang’s proposal is a good idea. Respecting the king and loving the people is the main focus, taking into account the prosperity of a hundred schools of thought.

This is the first imperial examination. Let’s arrange it in this way. Add a few more Confucian science exam questions to the test questions to see the results!

Xiao Hunhou, what do you think?"

Xiang Yanran pondered.

The debate between the Prime Minister and Xiao Hunhou has already come to an end.

The single-study Confucian subject only involves a small group of officials and is most beneficial to maintaining the Xiang royal family.

The exam for the full course is related to the future of hundreds of thousands of scholars in the Great Chu Dynasty and the foundation of a thousand years. It also has great benefits to the Xiang family.

The emperor knew which one was more important.

If you want to become the emperor of the ages, you must be able to do it in the full course of the imperial examination.

However, the emperor, he could not let Prime Minister Kong Hanyou not be able to get out of Taiwan at all in this debate. Otherwise, the shameless leader of the Confucian faction would have no choice but to resign.

Once Kong Xiang returned to the wilderness, the censor Wang Su would succeed as the prime minister. The only senior official in the Confucian school lost power. The entire court, the family and noble officials once again covered the sky.

It was a great disadvantage for the emperor to promote the new policy of the Gengzi, eradicate many disadvantages of the world, and pacify the princes and conquer the northern expedition of the Huns.

Kong Hanyou and the Confucian sword were also useful and useful, and they hit the top ten clans and nobles in Jinling.

Let the family and nobles know that without them, the emperor would still have a lot of talents to use.

Relying on Xiao Hunhou and without the powerful Confucian sword, the sword could not shake the deep-rooted ten clans of Jinling and the nobles in the court.

This is the key to the balance of power in the Great Chu court.

Xiaohunhou may not care about Confucian life and death.

But the Emperor of Chu had to consider this reality. Only by supporting the weak Confucianism can he compete with the clan forces.

"yes!"

Chu Tianxiu knew that the emperor wanted to appease Kong Hanyou and give him a good face.

He felt helpless and could only bow and say, "Confucianism accounts for 30% of the imperial examination questions in the county and national examinations, while the remaining theories account for 70% of the remaining. What if the Prime Minister wishes?"

"Can!"

Kong Hanyou immediately bowed.

He didn't compete for one or two percent.

As long as the emperor admitted that he "mainly focused on Confucianism and took into account the overall subject", he would give him enough face as the prime minister and the Confucian school.

It doesn't make much sense to have more test questions.

If you continue to fight, it is no different from the market vegetable dealers.

The Emperor of Chu Tianxiu Dynasty said, "Emperor, I have another proposal."

"explain!"

Xiang Yanran said.

"Now, the Great Chu has hundreds of counties and thousands of counties, and private schools are everywhere, but they are all too small, with most of them just ten school children.

Since the Great Chu prospered the imperial examination system, please allow the establishment of larger Great Chu higher colleges and institutions. Standard imperial examination materials can be compiled, and all subjects and schools can study in the college.

For example, Confucian Academy, Agricultural College, Medical College, Craftsman College, etc., research paper, gunpowder, and horse breeding... All techniques that benefit the country and the people can be studied.

It also allows scholars all over the world to have more places and livelihoods, so that they will not be useless except to study and seek official positions."

Chu Tianxiu said.

"Well, this idea is Shijia...but it's quite expensive!"

Xiang Yanran pondered, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Whoever advocates what school will naturally pay for it. The Jinling family has so many nobles, so I think they are willing to fund it. The court allocates a sum of money to start, and the land will be enough."

Chu Tianxiu immediately smiled.

"Okay, just do it like this! Dayuan Order, you allocate some money to establish the Dachu Higher Education Institution."

Xiang Yanran nodded slightly.

"yes!"

Yang Chu smiled bitterly and nodded.

"It's all gone!"

Xiang Yanran stood up at the palace gate and said lightly: "I see, you are a little marquis, you are not stupid either! We must hurry up the matter of the imperial examination. There are also the second round of county examinations and the third round of national examinations. I can't wait to see what talents have been selected for the imperial examinations?"

"Yes, the emperor!"

Chu Tianxiu had a bitter face.

...

The big argument between Prime Minister Kong Hanyou and Xiao Hunhou's palace gate finally ended.

This big debate has been completely decided, what should I take in the imperial examination?

The court officials, nobles and scholars, and thousands of Confucian scholars were still talking excitedly, talking about the pros and cons of it, and scattering them.

Dong Xianliang followed his teacher Kong Hanyou.

Kong Hanyou's face was gray and his expression looked very dull.

The hope of respecting Confucianism alone has been shattered.

The so-called "the main candidate for Confucianism and taking into account the overall subject" is actually just a nice face, which gives him a step forward to the prime minister.

The imperial examination in Dachu will eventually take the full course.

Except for scholars, scholars in the Great Chu world were originally 700 to 80% of Confucian scholars, and they only read Confucian books on weekdays.

Even if they took all the 30 points of Confucianism, they were just the downstream score, and there were 70 points.

Only one of the "children" in the county can get the test at 30, and one of the "scholars" in the county can get the test at 30, and it's over.

You must at least have a level of more than 60 to be expected to pass the imperial examination and eventually become a Jinshi.

This means that most Confucian scholars in the world must quickly read other miscellaneous books and learn other subjects... In this diversion, they are afraid that they will convert to other theories.

In the future, Confucian scholars in the world may only account for about 30%. The rest of the schools and schools can account for more than 70%.

This is undoubtedly a major loss for the Confucian school.

The great situation of Confucianism was reversed by the imperial examination.

"Lost!"

"I lost a lot!"

"However, Xiao Hunhou is really powerful. Any idea will have a far better vision than us!

The descendants of the King of Chu in the previous dynasty had such vision and insight. There was no such talent among my Confucian scholars. What a pity... the emperor must be very sorry in his heart!"

Kong Hanyou said lightly.

Dong Xianliang felt cold.

Xiao Hunhou's origin is a fatal point.

No one mentioned it does not mean that it does not exist, nor does it mean that there is no grudge in the royal family.

If the emperor really doesn't mind, how could he force Xiaohunhou to marry into the Prince Ping's Mansion?!

However, the filial piety that Xiaohunhou has tried his best to show recently made Queen Mother Chen feel very satisfied. Even the emperor already feels that Xiaohunhou is loyal.

Unfortunately, Xiao Hunhou's origin was destined to be of great use.

"You should prepare for the establishment of the Confucian Academy as soon as possible! Submit a report as soon as possible. After the Prime Minister's Office approved it, the Grand Agricultural Order first allocated some money... This political reform will be very expensive in all aspects.

Just using paper instead of simplified Chinese imperial examinations consumed a lot of money from the national treasury.

Now the Dayuan Order is a little more abundant, and it will be difficult to allocate it when there is not enough money in the future."

Kong Hanyou said.

Of course, he, the leader of the Confucian scholars, should make more benefits for Confucian scholars.

"Yes, disciples hurry up and go and do it! What's the name of this academy?"

Dong Xianliang asked.

"It's called 'Jinling Academy'. Please ask the world-famous Confucian scholars to teach Confucianism. Find more wealthy businessmen in Jinling City to raise funds and make the scale bigger. It can accommodate at least two or three thousand Confucian scholars!"
