Chapter 191 Disadvantages of the Imperial Examination

The content of the imperial examination mainly focuses on the Four Books and Five Classics, and tests students' understanding of the contents of many classics.

The writing format must be the format of an eight-legged essay. There are strict standards from breaking up the topic, taking up the topic, and finally concluding, so as to ensure neat writing and clear organization.

It is not the most difficult thing to test the accumulation of knowledge in your mind. The most difficult thing is the policy and argumentation. This policy argument cannot be written however you want to express your heart. That is simply impossible.

The policy essays written by candidates must, first of all, cater to the theme. For example, the topic of the main examination this time is "World". If someone talks about romance and irrelevant nonsense in the policy essay, no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric of the article is, it will be in the first place.

It will be brushed off during the round of marking.

Secondly, you must also know how to figure out the meaning. Some people's articles are not bad, but the meaning they express does not meet the views of the marking officer, and they are ruined by the personal selfishness of the marking officer.

It is not easy to write such an extremely demanding article that not only fits the theme but also caters to the intended purpose. Therefore, in the imperial examination, it is not an exaggeration to say that thousands of troops can cross a single-plank bridge.

Those who can stand out among countless students, pass the gold medal, and become famous all over the world are all ruthless people among ruthless people. Regardless of their own knowledge or the way they deal with the world, they are all top-notch beings.

The reason why the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were so rampant was because they had already begun to learn to read people's hearts and assess the situation before entering the court!

After entering the officialdom, you only need to experience the baptism and polishing of the officialdom atmosphere, and you will soon transform into an officialdom veteran.

When everyone is drunk, I am alone awake. When everyone is muddy, I am alone clear. This is almost non-existent in the Ming Dynasty.

Besides, it was just a one-time meeting, so it wouldn't take him too long.

"ha"

Fei Hong said with a smile: "Yes, there are countless students in the world, and who dares to compete with the Emperor on the same stage?"

It's just that Zhu Houzhao didn't understand why he came to take part in the imperial examination since he liked the battlefield. Isn't this a waste of time?

Zhu Bizhen was a descendant of King Su's lineage. He didn't like to hang out and wait for death, but he liked to wield swords and guns, and was eager to dominate the battlefield.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to investigate too much about how King Su arranged Zhu Biqiao into the examination room. When he saw him, he would train him if he could. If he didn't have the value of training, he would just let him go back and forth.

Regarding Zhu Houzhao's question, Liang Chu gave a timely answer: "King Su hopes that he will show his face in front of His Majesty!"

Liu Jin quickly flattered him: "Your Majesty is unparalleled in talent and learning. If you come to take part in the big exam, there will be no chance for other candidates to become famous. The title of No. 1 Scholar will only fall into the hands of your Majesty."

Compared with these candidates who have been studying for the imperial examination for decades, they are not on the same level. For him to take the imperial examination is no different from embarrassing himself.

Together with Liang Chu, Wang Hao, Fei Hong and others, he inspected the examination status of the candidates. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile lightly.

Other candidates were either writing hard or thinking hard, but this one was different. He lay on the examination table and fell asleep as if there was no one around.

But such a talent selection method will also lead to the loss of many special talents. Among these many candidates, Zhu Houzhao discovered a few good special talents. However, these people are not knowledgeable enough. If nothing else, they will lose their reputation sooner or later.

Things.

After a round of inspection, Zhu Houzhao already had a general direction for the rectification of the imperial examination. Afterwards, he would discuss it with the officials and improve it before implementing it.

Wang Hao said jokingly.

What he wants is not only political talents, but also talents in iron smelting, road construction, water conservancy, education, arms, etc. This goal cannot be satisfied by the current imperial examination system.

Zhu Houzhao and others continued to inspect the examination room and saw Yang Shen, Tang Yin and Zhu Yunming.

I am more aware of the pros and cons of the imperial examination. After brutal competition, the people selected are naturally extremely good. As long as their ideas are not distorted and they can govern, they are more than enough.

"Your Majesty is the emperor. If you come to take part in the scientific examination, students all over the world will be restless."

Zhu Houzhao understood everything. It was not a big secret that he was coming to Gongyuan to lecture the candidates. It was not difficult to understand that King Su had known the news in advance and sent Zhu Bizhu in in order to attract his attention and pave the way for Zhu Bizhu.

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and couldn't deny it. His family knew about his family affairs. He studied under Li Dongyang. His knowledge was not bad, but it was only "not bad". If he was asked to write lyrics, poems and articles, he was totally ignorant.

After Liang Chu's introduction, Zhu Houzhao finally understood the origin of the candidate. He never expected that there was such a strange person in the clan.

"Who is this person?"

Liang Chu responded.

By establishing the Sun and Moon Academy and reforming the imperial examination system, he will have more talents that he can use in the future. At that time, he can even shout without any scruples, "All the talents in the world will be included in my collection!"

"Looking at these students writing so hard, I can't help but feel itchy."

"After the big exam is over, bring him to see me."

I see!

If it doesn't work, just change it. Anyway, he has changed enough places. The ancestral system that is regarded as the golden rule by the officials is just bullshit in his eyes, and he doesn't care about reforming the imperial examination system as well.

Zhu Houzhao looked very ugly. Instead of taking the exam well, he fell asleep. How did such a candidate get in?

When he announced the abolition of all the privileges of the vassal king and asked the vassal king to hand over all the land, King Su was the first to stand up and respond. Although the territory of King Su's lineage was barren and extremely poor, he also gave Zhu Houzhao

This is not a small help. Zhu Houzhao should report it and return the favor.

The imperial court needs political talents, but various professional talents are also indispensable. The imperial examination selection is too one-sided and must be rectified.

"It's just a joke, why should we take it seriously?"

After all, it is difficult for King Su's lineage to produce a motivated person, so he must be cultivated vigorously.

"yes."

There is no need to keep the eight-part essay. Scholars all over the world, if they have time to study how to write the eight-part essay, it is better to read two more books.

"This candidate's name is Zhu Bizhu, and he is a descendant of King Su."

Seeing Zhu Houzhao pointing at that person, the old faces of Liang Chu, Wang Hao and Fei Hong suddenly became extremely strange, and they really didn't know what to say.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes passed over each candidate and suddenly noticed a particularly weird candidate.

“They are all good talents.”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the many candidates again, and suddenly had a bold idea in his mind

Because it was too crazy and unprecedented, Zhu Houzhao felt that he should reconsider it. Instead of saying it on the spot, he suppressed his idea temporarily and thought of going back to Wang Yangming to discuss it before making a decision.

"My dear, I still have political matters to deal with, so I'll leave this to you."

After casually telling Liang Chu a few words, Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin back to the palace, eager to find Wang Yangming to help him refer to it to see if his idea was feasible.

"Farewell to Your Majesty."
