Chapter 178 Exam Questions
After resigning from the court, Fan Jingwen immediately went to the emperor's imperial study room.
He dared not slacken in his advice, otherwise his job would be unsecured.
After standing outside the imperial study room for a while, Zhu Youjian and A Qing came to the imperial study room. Fan Jingwen hurriedly stepped forward to greet him:
"See the Emperor."
"No gift, talk inside."
"Abide by the order"
After entering the imperial study room, Zhu Youjian asked the eunuch to bring a stool for Fan Jingwen, and Fan Jingwen sat carefully on the stool.
Zhu Youjian sat down on the Grand Master's chair, and Ah Qing immediately made a cup of tea for him, and then stood behind Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian: "Shangshu Fan."
Fan Jingwen: "I am here."
Zhu Youjian: "I know why I want to see you in the Imperial Study Room?"
Fan Jingwen: "I am stupid, please make clear to you."
Zhu Youjian nodded and signaled Fan Jingwen not to be so nervous, then said:
"There are great problems in the scientific research in the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that it is time to reform."
Fan Jingwen was stunned and thought to himself:
"Your Majesty, why is it reforming again? Since defeating the bandits, you are reforming every day. Some of the things of our ancestors are almost completely denied by you."
Although Fan Jingwen was whispering in his heart, he didn't dare to say a word. He could only listen to every word the emperor said respectfully and carefully, for fear of missing a word.
At this time, the schools in the Ming Dynasty were already very complete. There were schools in all provinces and counties, and the highest management organization was the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that most of the candidates who take the imperial examination every time are outstanding in schools in various places. They are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination just by going to a private school for a few days.
Especially for the eight-legged essay, if you want to pass the eight-legged essay, you must pass the eight-legged essay.
The biggest harm of the eight-legged essay is to corrupt the administration of officials and endanger the development of the entire society, and the laws of scientific development are also harmed by it.
Seeing Fan Jingwen sitting on the stool with half of his butt, looking cautious, Zhu Youjian was secretly amused and continued:
"The first step in the imperial examination reform is to abolish the eight-legged essay. This is without room for negotiation, and the Ministry of Rites must strictly implement it.
I will hand over the teaching materials to the Ministry of Rites in the future. It is too late this year and will be implemented from next year. This part of history must be added.
I want all scholars in the Ming Dynasty to understand history, I want scholars to know the harm of foreign races to China over the past thousands of years, and I want scholars to know what kind of officials are the talents I need in the Ming Dynasty."
"thump…"
Although Fan Jingwen was already a little mentally prepared, when Zhu Youjian said the reform plan, he fell from the stool and sat on the ground.
But his reaction was not slow, and he immediately turned over and knelt in front of Zhu Youjian, and repeatedly apologized:
"I am missing my compulsory, please forgive me."
Seeing that the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty who committed suicide after Emperor Chongzhen's death was so scared by his words, Zhu Youjian stood up and helped Fan Jingwen up.
"My dear, don't panic so much. If I support you, just do what you want."
After being helped up by the emperor, Fan Jingwen was a little flattered and hurriedly bowed again:
"I obey the order."
Zhu Youjian turned around and walked away from the table, picked up the ink treasure and wrote four big characters, and then handed them over to Fan Jingwen, the Minister of Rites.
"This is the question for this scientific examination. They just need to write an article according to these four words. After the end, you will send me the top 20 article test papers.
"Abide by the order"
Fan Jingwen agreed and took the scientific examination question. When he saw the four words (loyalty, filial piety, integrity and shame), he was stunned again.
Zhu Youjian hated the civil servant group in the late Ming Dynasty, and the scientific research was used to select officials for the country.
They must be told what is loyalty to the country, what is filial to parents, what is integrity, and what is shame.
"Fan Aiqing, you should understand my intentions. If you want to be my parents in the Ming Dynasty, you must not only understand loyalty, filial piety and integrity, but also know what shame is.
Remember, before the exam starts, you cannot reveal any news. I want the candidates to improvise and give examples..."
"The weak minister follows the order"
Let’s talk about the vassal kings.
In the Ming Dynasty, if the vassal kings were not summoned, they would be a death sentence.
Therefore, although as a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, many people have never come to the capital.
However, the emperor caused them a lot of losses this time, but also restored their freedom and could go to and from the capital at will.
Under the rule of Zhu Youjian, the current capital not only restored its former liveliness, but was more prosperous than before.
The streets were full of traffic, people came and went, and the people were filled with happy and satisfied smiles on their faces.
The vassal kings finally came to the capital. They were originally playboys. If they didn't have fun, they would return to the fiefdom. They were really unwilling to accept it.
Walking on the streets of the capital, looking at the red and green willows in front of you, King Fu's eyes were blurred.
Seeing the Fu Wang Huayan's appearance, the other vassal kings felt secretly amused.
King De:
"Brother Wang, look, the capital is the capital, and the girls walking on the streets are very beautiful."
King Gan:
"That's right, my king's fief is in a remote area, and there are almost no beauties on the streets. Even if a few occasionally appear, either their legs are thick or their waists are round. How can they compare with the capital..."
King of Fujian:
"Haha... Brother Wang, why do you say hello to me? You have too little knowledge. The beauty in the south is so beautiful. If you have the chance to go to Jiangnan, I will take you to have fun. I couldn't leave my fiefdom before, but now the emperor has cancelled the ban."
King of Guangdong:
"Brothers, I heard that several Yichun buildings were opened in the capital. Not only were there families of criminal officials, but also Tartar women brought from outside the pass. Why don't we open our eyes..."
King of the South:
"Okay, open your eyes and open your eyes. I also want to see the beauty of alien race..."
King Lu:
"What kind of interracial beauty is a Tartar woman. Not only is she short and thick, but she is also full of slutty smell. I don't care..."
The King of Zhou, who had never spoken, spoke up to refute King Lu:
"You don't know, it's not bad for the Tartar women who can be sent to Yichun Tower. I heard that they are all big horses, and Chen Yuanyuan, the leader of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, are all in Yichun Tower..."
"No, brothers, you can do whatever you want, I will take the lead."
A small vassal king living in the south of the Yangtze River ran away immediately when he heard that Chen Yuanyuan was also in Yichun Tower...
The vassal kings who were in a depressed mood gradually relaxed at this time.
This is the current Ming vassal kings, whose ancestors fought bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty.
But by their generation, almost all of them were abandoned.
They care nothing except spending money all day.
Even when the Ming Dynasty was about to perish, many of them were indifferent.
They have a lot of people and have a few soldiers, so it is impossible for them to gather in one family.
After a little discussion, the princes divided their troops into two groups and asked about the location of the Yichun Tower, the best capital.
Ganqing Palace
The White Tiger God Xixi reported to Zhu Youjian:
"Don't worry, your Majesty, none of those princes can make a difference. After a walk in the capital, they all went to Yichun Tower."
Zhu Youjian laughed:
