Never allow a family that is more awesome than the Zhu family to exist!
This sentence can be regarded as stimulating Zhu Gaochi's assassin instinct.
That's right, those scholars who open their mouths say Sage Kong and shut up Sage Meng. They always use the saint's trivial words and righteousness to admonish the emperor... To put it bluntly, don't they think that the saint is greater than the emperor!
Don't talk about dad, even if I am a preparatory emperor, I don't like it.
Something must be done.
Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and suddenly said: "Cousin, my father asked me to preside over the imperial examination."
"Imperial examination? Which one?" Xu Jingchang asked curiously.
"Two games!" Zhu Dazhuang bared his teeth and smiled proudly.
Zhu Di said before that there will be an enke and a formal examination in the second year of Yongle.
In other words, within a few months, there were two imperial examinations.
Zhu Di actually gave Zhu Gaochi the power of both imperial examinations!
Xu Jingchang suddenly didn't know what to say... A kiss is a kiss after all, and no one can compare with it.
He worked so hard, but he had to shut up and think about life for a month. When he arrived at Fatty Zhu's place, he did nothing and got two imperial examinations!
This is not an exam, it is clearly training party members!
Zhu Di, you are not too old. Is it really good to delegate power like this?
After observing for so long, Xu Jingchang finally saw clearly that Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang were still very different... Zhu Yuanzhang was meticulous in everything, worked tirelessly, took care of everything, and did everything himself.
But Zhu Di is different. He likes power but does not like management.
He got rid of most government affairs.
For example, finance and taxation were given to Xia Yuanji, and personnel were given to Jian Yi. The rest of the government affairs were also shared by each.
Zhu Di sat firmly on the throne, supervising the movements of all parties and conceiving his grand project.
The dog father was like this, so Zhu Gaochi could only accept the power with tears.
When will Zhu Di lead his troops on an expedition and officially serve as General Zhengbei? It will be Fatty Zhu who has the final say in this world.
Xu Jingchang suddenly realized that he should have a good chat with Da Zhuang, maybe he could do what Zhu Di couldn't do.
"Do you want to use the imperial examination to do something?"
Zhu Gaochi smiled and said nothing.
You are the only one who can cause trouble!
Sorry, I will too!
Zhu Gaochi said directly: "I'm wondering if Song's unorthodox views can be included in this imperial examination?"
Xu Jingchang was naturally happy, "Very good, let's do it! Zhu Xi spent his whole life to argue that the Song Dynasty was orthodox, but if we deny the Song Dynasty, it is equivalent to overthrowing Zhu Xi, and the foundation of Neo-Confucianism will be shaken. It will be easier to handle next."
Jie Jin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he just sighed. They wanted to establish a new set of knowledge, and it was necessary to challenge Zhu Zi.
I just didn’t expect that when I was young, I read Zhu Xi’s books and read Zhu Xi’s interpretation of the classics. Every word of his subtle words would be engraved in my heart.
Now he wants to overthrow Zhu Xi with his own hands. Does this count as treason and immorality, deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors?
Xu Jingchang saw Xie Jin's hesitation and couldn't help but laugh: "Xie Xie, when I first started studying and doing knowledge, it was very good to put a statue there so that I could have a goal and make progress bravely and diligently. But when it reaches a certain level,
To kill gods!"
"Kill God?" Xie Jin was stunned.
"Even if we smash this idol, surpass him, go further than him, and build a more majestic idol... we can't rest on our laurels and wander around in a small circle. You are not willing to be a great talent for the rest of your life, right?"
Isn’t it good to be a great talent?
Of course it’s not good!
If you can be a talented person when you are young, it will be considered good. But when you reach a certain level, you have to achieve a knowledge, spread it among the scholars, have countless fans, speak out, and respond to hundreds of responses.
They are like clouds.
Usually this kind of person is called Hongru!
Xie Jin's heart was beating wildly. If one day he could smash the statue of Zhu Zi and replace it with his own, he would have no regrets in this life...
"I understand, thank you Duke Ding for your guidance."
Xie Jin thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, I plan to write an article explaining the unorthodoxy of the Song Dynasty first, and then send it to all the candidates who come to Beijing, so that they can discuss it openly and make their own opinions, so as to build momentum first.
.”
Zhu Gaochi nodded repeatedly, "Okay, just issue it in my name, and give you a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone as a meeting gift."
Fatty Zhu really knows how to be a good person. Anyone who takes the exam in Beijing will receive a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Xie Jin's article, and some exam precautions.
It’s a little tip before the exam.
It just shows the prince's care. As for the money, just let King Zhao provide it. Anyway, he has printed so many pamphlets and made a lot of money from the court. Now it is natural for him to help.
If Zhu Gaosui dares to disobey, give him a fist blow.
Zhu Dazhuang also went too far.
Yao Guangxiao, on the other hand, thought about it again and again, and still said: "You should not be too eager for quick success... In these two exams, Enke is the first, right?"
Zhu Gaochi nodded, "Indeed."
Yao Guangxiao said: "Well, Enke is the emperor's favor. His Highness can naturally handle it more loosely. However, it is a serious examination, which is unusual. If it is messed up, it will be a disgrace to the court."
Zhu Gaochi was startled, then nodded quickly, "Thank you, Master, for the pointer. I understand."
Yao Guangxiao's caution is not unexpected.
The selection of officials through the imperial examination is almost the last trump card for civil servants.
As long as the imperial examination is still there and people can rise through the ranks through the imperial examination, scholars can endure it.
To be honest, the Yuan Dynasty just didn't know how to play, and the imperial examination was intermittent and intermittently. If the imperial examination could be conducted seriously and win over the hearts of scholars, maybe the Yuan Dynasty would also be an infinitely beautiful country without a faint king.
Holy pilgrimage!
Xu Jingchang thought about this, and he felt more and more that he wanted to make some noise in the imperial examination.
"Enke needs to really select some talents, and he has to be able to compete with other people's imperial examinations. This is the way to go. After all, the examination is only the first level. After entering the officialdom, if you are not good at it, you will be dismissed." Xu Jingchang murmured to himself.
The other three people also frowned after listening, and they didn't have any good ideas.
Even in the imperial examinations, not every subject is filled with talented people.
What's more, some people don't even bother to participate in this kind of encore, and Zhu Gaochi plans to cause trouble... It is conceivable that the princes in the court will find ways to obstruct and cause trouble.
Overtly and covertly... Even after joining the officialdom, the career of these people will not be too smooth. On the Yanguan side, there are also officials... Even without Jian Yi taking action, the Wenxuan Department alone can trick them.
Already.
Xu Jingchang thought about it for a long time, but he felt a little disappointed. It was just a favor.
It would be too optimistic to think that this time Enke could turn the world upside down.
Things that people have accumulated over thousands of years are not so easy to deal with.
Everyone discussed for a while, but still had no clue... Yao Guangxiao went back to the temple, Zhu Gaochi went to discuss with Zhu Di, and Xie Jin also went to write an article.
Everyone left, only Xu Jingchang was left.
He hugged his knees and calculated silently.
The two exams are next to each other...Those who are good candidates and are confident that they can pass the imperial examination will probably not come to participate in the Enke. After all, if it were you who studied hard and could be admitted to the national civil service, you would not be willing to take the exam.
At the county level.
Moreover, this Enko is somewhat deviant and not on the right path... In this case, the only way is to fight fire with fire.
Xu Jingchang thought about it for a long time, and suddenly remembered a joke he had made, why not just get rid of those masters and let these people come to take the exam... not only the masters, but also the clerks of the yamen, the book office... First of all, they
He is proficient in government affairs and his writing skills are not bad either.
It's just that due to various circumstances, he failed to pass the imperial examination.
If you give them a chance now, these people will definitely be willing to gain serious fame.
Although Enke was almost there, it was still their only choice.
Secondly, this group of people has been in the officialdom for so many years, and they are more or less capable of fighting. They are definitely much better than ordinary scholars.
Xu Jingchang immediately called Huang Xiaoru over, and when he told him, Huang Xiaoru smiled bitterly and said, "Dong Guo, you are trying to steal someone from a lowly position!"
Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes at him, "Looking at your potential, if your subordinates pass Enke and climb to a high position, they might be able to promote you. Even if they can't climb up, it's better for them to take care of each other than to be alone.
ah!"
Huang Xiaoru's eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "I'll do it now, I'll do it now!"
Then Xu Jingchang called Wu Shan over again, "You have also been an official in Yingtian for many years. You must know that there are many scribes in various yamen, right? They are the kind who have no fame but rich experience."
Wu Shan nodded, "This is really too much. Take the Ministry of Household Affairs as an example. There are thirteen cleaning departments, and each cleaning department only has a few people. Can they really calculate the accounts of a province? It's not necessary.
It depends on the people below. To be honest, if you were to test them with nine chapters of arithmetic, I estimate that many of them would not know how to settle accounts."
Xu Jingchang smiled slightly and said, "Very good, you can now mobilize the scribes from various ministries, including those from any yamen, to join Enke... Tell them whether they want to serve others all their lives, or whether they want to get ahead, it's their own decision!"
Wu Shanxin said there is no need to choose!
Working in the yamen, being called around by others, only you know the frustration you feel.
Now that we have the opportunity, how can we not risk our lives?
From the looks of it, this scene of Enke is going to be lively.
Wu Shan thought for a while and then said in deep thought: "Ding Guo Gong, I suddenly remembered that the nobles and nobles can also participate in Enke this time. I wonder what arrangements your lord has?"
"My noble son? Is that possible?" Xu Jingchang really didn't know.
Wu Shan smiled and said: "Have you forgotten, sir? Emperor Taizu in Japan allowed the noble sons to study in the Imperial College. Isn't it natural for the imperial students to take part in the imperial examination? By the way, sir, you didn't go to study?"
Xu Jingchang blinked, "I think I have, but I had a stomachache at that time and didn't go."
Wu Shan's face turned dark. My boy doesn't like going to school, so he used this excuse.
Sure enough, all naughty kids are the same.
Xu Jingchang was startled, then suddenly jumped up. He had an idea again.
Xu Jingchang ignored Wu Shan and rushed directly to the Xu mansion, "Uncle, call your precious son out quickly."
