Chapter 462 The capital shakes and the whole country boils
Hundreds of sons shouted long live in the mountains in Shangchunfang, and their voices shook the sky.
Such movements naturally quickly alarmed the people of the Beijing Military Police and the Jinyiwei.
However, when the people who were present to protect the troops saw Wu Song, the commander of the military commander, followed in a small dress and arranged strict manpower in secret, they stayed on the periphery to clear the field and waited for the battle.
In other words, the scholars and scholars who rushed over after hearing the news could no longer enter Shangchunfang and could only gather outside the house, sweating profusely.
The emperor went on a private visit, answered the questions with the sons in Shangchunfang, and then created a saint on the spot. This was an unprecedented event in the history of Scholars' development. If they could not attend the meeting in person, how could they not regret it for the rest of their lives?
Sun Liang asked someone to get a table, pen, ink, paper and ink.
Then, Zhang Kui personally developed ink tremblingly. Zhang Kui's disciples and several others stood beside him. Wang Lin calmed down slightly and wrote four big words "a generation of masters" in public.
This is the biggest compliment he received for Zhang Kui's followers and assistance to Shuli's lecture.
With the plaque written by the emperor, Zhang Kui will become the chief scholar of the times without any dispute and be famous throughout the ages.
At least a semi-saint of Confucianism.
The status of Confucianism is no less than that of Luoyang Ercheng and Zhang Zai.
Zhang Kui was extremely excited, tears of gratitude, and tears filled his eyes.
He was still kneeling at Wang Lin's feet and shouting long live.
Zhang Kui studied for his entire life and became an official for thirty years. Finally, in the last journey of his life, he reached the peak of his life.
Zhang Kui couldn't cry.
Wang Lin smiled bitterly and quickly bent down to help him up.
He didn't want Zhang Kui to die early because of the ecstasy.
He also hopes that Zhang Kui Cannian can lead the entire world of scholars and help him control national justice and voice.
There is no doubt that in a sense, in this current era, most of the discourse power is still in the hands of the gentry class.
Zhang Kui's emotions slowly calmed down. With the help of Sun Liang, he stood behind Wang Lin, facing the dark and excited group of people from all over the place who were equally excited, and shouted in a trembling voice: "You are the ones who are quiet, but listen." I'm just saying a word."
Everyone gradually calmed down.
Zhang Kui's old face turned red and said, "What do we study for? The emperor is right. Studying is to help the world and the people, and to contribute to the country, not to the glory and wealth of one family.
Your Majesty is my great master of Confucianism and the leader of Wenhua. When the country is in danger, a saint comes from heaven.
I am not talented, and I was once fortunate to follow the Holy Lord to defend the enemy in Hebei. I also wrote books and preached for the Holy Lord. Now I should remember the teachings of the Holy Lord and carefully study the "Four Books and Notes" written by the Holy Lord and " Reading calligraphy, if you have made progress in the future, you should sacrifice your life and serve the country!
Don’t forget your kindness!
Your Majesty said that only by not forgetting your original intention can you achieve the end.
I think that from today on, all scholars in the world, regardless of whether they are promoted to the imperial examination or not, will be students of the emperor!
I suggest that I, the Holy Lord of Dayan, have never been in the past and present, and should set up a statue of the Holy Lord in the Confucian Temple and share the honor with Confucius!
I am honest and have already worshipped the Holy Lord as my respected teacher.
The old man is in a turbid and turbid year, and he will not hesitate to live without any hesitation. He will definitely follow the Holy Lord and go to Hebei again. If I am lucky, I will witness the Holy Lord restore my old place, Yanyun, and create an immortal cause!"
Zhang Kui bowed down again tremblingly. Under the steps, hundreds of students were filled with feelings, and shouted in tears, "Long live the Holy Lord, Long live the Famous Church", and knelt down all over the ground.
Wu Song and Sun Liang hurriedly helped Zhang Kui up.
Wang Lin smiled and said, "Mr. Banshan is so old, so he will stay in the capital to rest. When I liberation Yanyun, I will send someone to take Mr. Banshan to Youzhou and build a Confucian Temple in Youzhou, and set up my Chinese clothes!"
Zhang Kui shook his head firmly: "Your Majesty, students should follow the great master to the death and stop until they die!"
Although Wang Lin was the great master of Confucianism, he was the emperor after all, so Wang Lin actually passed the title of the great master to Zhang Kui in this way.
Zhang Kui knew it well and was grateful to the emperor for his kindness, so he naturally felt that he would die for his confidant.
Of course, if he goes to Hebei at his age, it is basically conclusive that it will be difficult to return to the capital.
Zhang Kui raised his arms and shouted: "The day after tomorrow, Your Majesty will once again lead the army to Hebei, and the northern expedition to Yanyun, and create the foundation for our great Yan forever!
Although I, the Holy Lord of Dayan, did not imitate the former Emperor Taizu of Song and vowed to rule the world with the scholars and officials, the Holy Lord established a system of raising honest fields, saying that if you do not pass the scientific examination, you cannot be an official, and if you are an official, you cannot be poor, and the court provides generous support.
To make it not exploit the people and not embezzle public funds, such kindness is actually far more than that of the Song Dynasty's support for scholars. If you choose your son to become an official in the future, you should be able to appreciate the good intentions of the sage king and loving the people!"
If the Northern Song Dynasty raised the scholars, in order to give the overall privilege of the gentry class, the pressure was transmitted downward, and the people who finally squeezed them out.
Wang Lin’s reform of this to “foster integrity” and ensures that officials are honest and honest in their work is essentially the same.
However, the former benefit is too large, which brings a heavy burden to the national finances and makes people live in poverty.
The latter, as long as it is properly operated, will surely eliminate the overall corruption of the entire bureaucratic class at the lowest cost.
Although high salary and integrity are not the key to universal power, Wang Lin believes that as long as a strong supervision system is assisted, it will gradually work.
At least, it is beneficial for rectifying the administration.
The fact that raising honest fields has not yet been promoted among ordinary scholars. Zhang Kui chose to make it public on this occasion, undoubtedly because he wanted to use the words of the disciples to justify Wang Lin and eliminate some worries about studying and educating students.
Otherwise, why did they have been working hard for ten years? They worked hard to pass the imperial examination and won the Jinshi, but they did not get any benefit. It would be useless for the emperor to say that the smallpox was so shattered.
People, especially scholars, are advanced creatures who seek profit and avoid harm after all.
Sure enough, Zhang Kui's words aroused heated discussion among the scholars present.
Wang Lin and Zhang Kui looked at each other and smiled. Zhang Kui bowed and said, "Please enter the student room and serve tea!"
Wang Lin nodded with a smile: "I am here to visit my illness, and to talk to my husband," he said something to him.
...
Wang Lin stayed at Zhang Kui's house for nearly an hour, but outsiders didn't know what the two had talked about, even though there were still hundreds of students in front of the Zhang family who could not stay there for a long time.
But then there was a news that made scholars all over the world cheer for it.
First, after the advice of great scholars Zhang Kui, Cheng Yuanjing, Zhou Ziyan and others, the emperor approved it. Because the Dayan Dynasty was newly established, the Encyclopedia Examination and Palace Examination will be added this autumn to select talents to enrich the court and local governments.
The posts will be no less than 1,000.
Second, the Jinshi Palace Examination will not be dismissed. Those who are on the list of the third and fifth grades are all students of the emperor.
Third, it was determined that the food and accommodation expenses of poor students in Beijing were borne by the emperor's inner treasury during the palace examination. Those who passed the Jinshi will also give them to the agenda.
The entire capital was shocked by it. Then, the whole country would be in full bloom.
The Song Dynasty significantly increased the number of admissions to the imperial examinations. In the 22nd year of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, he only won nearly 10,000 people in one Jinshi, with an average of more than 450 people per year.
In comparison, the total number of Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty was only more than 6,000.
However, Song Renzong restricted the number of Jinshi, stipulating that no more than four hundred people per subject.
In this way, enrolling Enko and expanding the enko admissions to more than 1,000 will undoubtedly become the greatest blessing for scholars all over the world. More people will change their destiny and enter the officialdom through the imperial examination.
The imperial examinations and scholars in the Great Coward Dynasty were quite expensive.
Lu Mengzheng, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and other poor scholars were very few of those who passed the imperial examination, and they were not from poor peasants. The economic expenditure required for the imperial examination was not affordable to ordinary people.
Wang Lin used the emperor's inner treasury to support the imperial examinations of poor scholars, which would obviously arouse gratitude from poor scholars everywhere.
With three measures in hand, the new Dayan Dynasty will bring the hearts of scholars in the shortest time. Even if Dayan does not rule the world with the scholars and officials in the future, it will greatly reduce the gentry's rejection of Dayan and the Emperor of Dayan.
Of course, such encore and expanded admission posts cannot be normalized. Otherwise, it will bring about another extreme problem, the huge and bloated bureaucratic system and the redundant officials.
The news reached the cabinet center Li Gang and others. Li Gang understood that this must have been passed on to Shilin through Zhang Kui and other great scholars of the times, so why it came out of itself.
At present, the Great Yan Dynasty was newly established, and the Jin people invaded the south twice, and everything was in ruins. Both the court and the local government had large vacancy.
In addition, Wang Lin’s plan is very big. If Yan Yun is restored in the future, a large number of local officials will inevitably be needed to enrich Yan Yun’s sixteen states.
Therefore, the enrollment and expansion of admission quotas are actually the top priority this year.
Taking the trend as a strategy to win people's hearts can only show Wang Lin's human ethics and emperor's mind skills.
Wu Min sighed lightly and bowed to Li Gang and said, "Suang Li, the emperor is really a wise king of the generation, with a grand plan and a strategy that is beyond our reach."
Guo Zhishun also said excitedly: "From ancient times, how could a king be willing to pay for the imperial examinations of poor people with the emperor's inner treasury? This subject is the new Encyclopedia of Dayan, and the number of people who come to Beijing to take the imperial examination will increase sharply.
I am afraid that it will not expand to nearly 10,000 people, and at least half of the poor students will be willing to spend so much money. "
Huang Qishan laughed: "The former Song Dynasty royal family left it to the inner treasury today. That day, the emperor once joked with me that it was not as rich as his Yan Prince's treasury. With this subject alone, the emperor probably would have to give all his money to support him.
A poor student has great merits.”
Li Gang nodded slowly: "Since he ascended the throne and became emperor, he has not selected the show, built a building, built a palace, and streamlined the expenses and expenses. His frugality has no monarch to reach in all dynasties. I personally think that this position is now and all dynasties
The monarch has the greatest difference, with ambition, a great way to serve the public, with a family, country, and people in his heart, courage, strategy and courage, and my people will be blessed since then."
Li Gang said solemnly: "Next day, the general will personally fight, come to Hebei again, and even attack Yanyun in the north. Our cabinet should work hard to seek peace in the court. In addition, the wealth and taxes in the southeast must not be cut off, and the military supplies and military salaries must not be ignored."
Li Gang looked at Guo Zhishun with deep eyes.
Guo Zhishun's face turned solemn and bowed, "I will never dare to mislead national affairs!"
At this moment, Wang Lin led Wu Song back from Zhang Kui's house and arrived at the Yanqing wedding banquet. He drank with the generals of the army present and the officials of the Jinyiwei until the evening and returned drunk.
