: Brilliant means to get reactionary civil servants hacked! (Seventh update)

When Lu Zuanzu in the south looked north and cried while looking north by the Yangtze River, Wu Weiye in the north looked south and sighed at the Qionglin Banquet.

"Why did it fail? Is it really hopeless to revive Neo-Confucianism and restore the ancestral system?"

"When will the southern rebels enter the Central Plains and take control of Yanyun?!"

Although Wu Weiye obeyed the reality and knew that the southern puppet dynasty could not compete with the imperial court, he did not choose to go to the south, but went to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination. In his heart, Wu Weiye actually hoped that the southern puppet dynasty could defeat the official army, even if he could not overthrow it.

The current court must at least be forced to abolish the new law, restore the old system, and continue to uphold morality and justice.

Therefore, Wu Weiye has actually been paying attention to the war in the south.

Before this, he was secretly overjoyed and secretly celebrated when he learned that Yang Sichang had failed in the first battle.

He was in a better mood at that time than now when he was selected as a Jinshi and attended the Qionglin Banquet.

But what Wu Weiye didn't expect was that the result would soon be that the southern puppet dynasty he secretly supported would be defeated!

Even the governor Gao Chongjian was killed!

What is even more hateful is that when Yang Sichang, a civil servant on his side, was conquering the small court in the south that respected Neo-Confucianism and followed the ancestral system, he became more and more courageous.

He changed his mind and asked the emperor to abolish the new law. Instead, he asked himself to be a general and a vanguard, becoming the first warrior to defeat the puppet army in the south and kill the southern governor!

Wu Weiye did not have enough seniority in the Ming Dynasty, and the high-level information he knew was limited, so he did not know that Yang Sichang was forced to become a general. He only assumed that Yang Sichang took the initiative to quell the rebels who respected principles and advocated etiquette.

He turned to martial arts, even disregarding his dignity and his own life, and was the first to charge into the battle, and then defeated the rebels.

After all, the newspapers said that it was Yang Sichang who took the initiative to plead guilty and meritorious service.

And because of this, Wu Weiye hated Yang Sichang deeply in his heart.

I was also saddened by the defeat of the puppet dynasty in the south, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Therefore, Wu Weiye was not at all happy because he was now a Jinshi.

What's more, he was able to become a Jinshi because he wrote in an article against his will that he supported practical learning and supported the concept that running water does not corrupt household hinges and does not cause beetles.

Even though he was ranked second in the Imperial Examination because he was the leader of the Chinese Liberal Arts Department, he was directly admitted to the Hanlin Academy.

Especially when Wu Weiye learned that the number one scholar, Jiexuan, was actually ranked number one because he was first in arithmetic, ranking above him.

He really couldn't accept that people who were outstanding in Confucian articles were not as good as those who were outstanding in arithmetic!

But in Zhang Gui's view, Jiexuan, who later became a mathematician and military theorist in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was indeed more valuable than a man with outstanding literary talents like Wu Weiye, so he insisted on letting Jiexuan become the number one scholar.

But what Wu Weiye didn't know was how much Lu Zuanzu, who was now in the south, envied him.

Wu Weiye sang a few poems at the Qionglin banquet against his will, flattered the benefits of the reform against his will, and then returned home.

On the way home, Wu Weiye saw many craftsmen and common people in the capital appearing on the street in colorful clothes. They were even discussing the new book "Encyclopedia" co-edited by Xu Guangqi and Zhang Guojiu outside his carriage.

At this time, my heart felt even colder:

"Miscellaneous learning is rampant, etiquette is very bad, and common people and craftsmen also wear brocade clothes. Such a peaceful and prosperous age is simply nondescript! In such a world, if the common people can also wear silk, then what is the point of us, the officials, gentlemen, and bureaucrats wearing silk and satin!"

Wu Weiye decided that after he became an official, he no longer had to be active in his official career. After his death, he could just compile a history book and write articles. He would only wait until the world changed in the future before he could express his ambitions again.

And the first article he decided to write after completing the imperial examination was to ridicule Yang Sichang for abandoning literature and embracing martial arts and being willing to be humble. He then insinuated that today's scholar-bureaucrats are weak and incompetent. For the sake of personal achievements, they actually help the evil emperor and treacherous ministers.

Destroy Neo-Confucianism and destroy the old system!

"A new law is to be angry!"

After Yang Sichang saw an article written by Wu Weiye in a newspaper praising the first warrior of the Ming Dynasty and a poem dedicated to him attached at the end of the article, he immediately tore the newspaper into pieces with gritted teeth.

And he also knew that all this was caused by Zhang Guojiu, so he cursed secretly: "This uncle Guo really kills people without blood! But he never knows what it feels like to be the first warrior of the Ming Dynasty in my heart, Yang Sichang.

Bar?"

"Wu Weiye's literary talent is indeed remarkable! Articles like this praising me, the first warrior of the Ming Dynasty, should be published more often. This can be regarded as Yang Sichang as a model of abandoning writing and joining the army, abandoning literature and joining martial arts. The propaganda will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which makes me

Scholars of the Ming Dynasty can truly restore the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, like Ban Dingyuan, like the final army of the Han Dynasty!"

Zhang Gui naturally knew Yang Sichang's true feelings, but he just pretended not to know, and often praised Yang Sichang's bravery, making everyone in the world think that Yang Sichang had surrendered to him.

"Encouraging scholars to practice martial arts is indeed a national policy that is conducive to opening up borders and benefiting the people. After all, in the future, after many scholars are admitted as officials, most of them will go to the newly established territories in Nanyang to serve as officials. If they only govern the people well but do not govern them well,

If we don’t have an army, it will be difficult for us to fulfill our responsibility to defend the land and protect the people for the Ming Dynasty.”

Yuan Keli added at this time.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he has discovered that the Ming Dynasty currently needs a large shortage of officials sent abroad, and the local officials who guard the new territories do have very high requirements in terms of personal physical fitness and military literacy, so he proposed it at this time.

.

Zhang Gui also followed: "What's more, nowadays, the territories are mainly connected by sea routes. This is not like land. It is difficult to predict whether a group of pirates will suddenly appear. This requires officials to be better at commanding military affairs.

"

Yuan Keli nodded and said: "I have to admit that there are very few such scholars now. In fact, there are very few who are good at managing the army, and even those who are good at governing the people! It is easy to be an upright official, but difficult to be a capable minister. In fact, on the staff side,

There are not many officials to choose from. In addition, even if the imperial court expands the number of Jinshi scholars, there is still a shortage of officials. After all, if officials are only selected within Kyushu, there will be no shortage of people to serve as officials. But now, officials are selected from all over the world.

It won’t be enough all of a sudden!”

"Now that we have said this, I think it is better to reform the official system so that subordinate officials can also become officials?"

Zhang Gui then asked after speaking.

Yuan Keli, Chen Zizhuang, Han Xu and other civil servants in the policy making department were stunned.

This is a big challenge for them, civil servants with Jinshi background!

After all, allowing subordinate officials to become officials is equivalent to giving away part of the power cake that belongs to themselves, such as those who promote people and promote scholars, to subordinate officials at the grassroots level who have direct contact with the people!

Naturally, it is difficult to face this kind of behavior of cutting flesh off one's own body calmly.

But the problem is that now that the cake is increasing, the people who have been elected as scholars can no longer eat it. Unless some are given out, the ruling system cannot be made more stable.

Therefore, Zhang Gui continued: "Although many subordinate officials are cunning and do harm to the people, they are also the key to the implementation of the imperial decree. In recent years, they have been using coercion to force subordinate officials to implement the new policies. It should be

Let them take the initiative to implement the New Deal."

"What's more, they actually know the people better than we do. The next more in-depth reforms need to be implemented by them. We can't just eat meat and not let them drink soup, and we can't let them only drink soup without eating meat.

opportunity.”

"Everyone is enterprising, and a person's enterprising spirit cannot be wiped out. Princes, generals, and ministers, would they rather be kind? This is the concept of our Han family since ancient times. If we don't let people have the opportunity to become princes and ministers, they will

Thinking of becoming king."

"What do you think?"

Zhang Gui asked after speaking.
