Chongzhen Undergraduates

Do you want to say that Ma Shiying is very clean?I'm afraid it won't stand up to investigation.For a person in the position of Ma Shiying, who can guarantee that his butt is clean, unless it has just been washed for nothing.

However, the crimes mentioned by Huang Shu made it clear that some of them were brought against Zhu Youjian.

"I see, the current war is imminent, you can go to Hezhou to supervise the army, what do you think?"

"Your majesty, you are a suspicious minister!" Ma Shiying's nose twitched, she thought she was fine just now, but was demoted by the emperor in a blink of an eye.

"Who said that? The Jiangbei War is coming, and it is the time when people are needed. Isn't it good that you have accumulated some credit in the past? Staying here in Nanjing, who in the world can see your hard work?"

There is a huge difference between the front and the rear.Everyone has done something in the front, and it is easy to give credit for it.Generally, those who stay in the rear, if they do well, it is their duty, and if they do not, it is their responsibility.

"I understand, I am willing to go." Ma Shiying heard Zhu Youjian's thoughts.This in itself is the position that Zhu Youjian will arrange for Ma Shiying. Jiangbei needs people, and there are only so many available. Ma Shiying is still a capable minister after all.

Back in the main hall, Zhu Youjian immediately announced: "The second assistant, Ma Shiying, will leave today to go to Hezhou to supervise the army."

As soon as Huang Shu quit, he co-authored a scene with himself and just demoted Ma Shiying from the court in Nanjing?

"Your Majesty, Ma Shiying is deceiving your Majesty..." The troubles had already started, and Huang Shu would not let them go.

Zhu Youjian ignored Huang Shu, and continued: "My intention has been decided: the reform of the scientific examination system will first change the topic system. This autumn's scientific examination will not use stereotyped essays as the only standard. Candidates can freely choose the style of writing..."

"Your Majesty, Ma Shiying deceived you..." Huang Shu insisted on angering Zhu Youjian.

"Come on! Hold me down and beat me..." Zhu Youjian was furious, and he couldn't help but be angry.

If the board didn't hit this guy's ass today, he would probably be very disappointed. Thinking of how much his ass misses the board, Zhu Youjian had no choice but to hit him.

"Just outside this hall, the board was covered with "golden paste" and beat hard."

What is "Golden Paste"?It's poop.

Zhu Youjian has questioned Wang Chengen, and there is no way to deal with the censor, all he needs to do is humiliate him when hitting the board.Let him suffer this beating for nothing, as long as he doesn't gain fame.

Facing such a shit-stirring stick, of course he had to use his similar "golden pulp" to deal with it.

Huang Shu was still very happy when he was dragged out by the guards. As soon as his feet left the hall, he heard Zhu Youjian's voice behind him, his eyes went dark, and his whole body went limp.

There was a crackling groan, and Huang Shu's whole body was covered with yellow and orange disgusting things.The ministers pinched their noses and watched from a distance.

1Chapter 17: The so-called authentic

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty did a lot of weird things, and Zhu Youjian didn't care about one more thing about himself.

The eunuch who carried out the imperial staff was also bad enough, the board looked quite ruthless, but the splashes didn't get much around, it was all painted over Huang Shu's whole body.

"Report to the emperor, the execution of the imperial staff is complete." Wang Chengen, an old guy, ran into the hall with a smile to report.

"Are you injured? If you smear the wound with pickled things, it will kill you. I just want to punish Huang Aiqing, not him." Zhu Youjian pretended to be a good man in front of all the ministers.

"No, Mr. Huang is wearing thick clothes, so there is no skin injury at all." Well, there is no skin injury, but if there is any internal injury, then I don't know.

But it is enough to wear it so thick that it covers the whole body.

"Well, then find someone to support him and take him home. Remember, don't take the path, the path is bumpy, and you must go to the main street."

Of course, Wang Chengen understood Zhu Youjian's intentions. This is a good way to mention Huang Shu's reputation and let him "repute" all over Nanjing!

"Why does the emperor use pickled things to beat the board?" A minister standing in the last row asked his colleagues beside him in a low voice.

"You don't know that yet? The emperor is telling others that Huang Shu is a piece of shit."

"Okay, all the lovers will continue to discuss matters." Watching Huang Shu leave the palace, Zhu Youjian had no intention of dismissing the court.

"I have recently read history and feel that the rise of stereotyped essays in the imperial examination was in the former dynasty, and the rise of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. That is to say, the stereotyped essays and Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism both flourished in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

All the lovers are people who have read poetry and books. I want to ask, why is this? "

The imperial examination system itself is advanced and has no fault.The only disadvantage of this system is also its greatest advantage.Since the Tang Dynasty officially promoted the scientific examination, the imperial court linked the appointment of officials with the scientific examination in order to let the common people study more. This is an active means of selecting talents.

But at the same time, it made everyone go to the road of having to take the imperial examination in order to become an official.

In any case, the imperial examination is still the fairest and the most direct channel for the bottom class to rise.

Zhu Youjian did not intend to ban the imperial examinations.

In the Hall of Martial Heroes, there are still ministers who are opposing the reform of the scientific examination system, but no one is messing around anymore, and the reasons for the opposition are also reasonable.

"I think Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism has been orthodox for hundreds of years, and I, Ming Dynasty, have proved its reliability with facts. Even if new schools such as Xinxue appear, there is no evidence to prove that other schools are correct."

Against Zhu Youjian's black face, Lu Daqi stubbornly opposed it.

"The classics of Confucianism cannot be said to be authentic by the predecessors; nor can it be said that the learning of later generations is not authentic. Cheng and Zhu are only from the Song Dynasty. Could it be that their classics must be authentic?"

Gu Yanwu, a junior, was not polite when he heard it. He did not point to Lu Daqi's nose and said that he is an admirer of Yangming's philosophy of mind.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were still many scholars who learned from the heart, and they had long been dissatisfied with the fact that the imperial examination only used Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism as a model.

Zhu Youjian also knew in his heart that if the imperial examination system were to be reformed, Confucianism must be touched.Confucianism itself also has multiple schools.

The current scientific examination regards Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism as the only source, which has caused pressure on other Confucian schools, which is one of the reasons why Zhu Youjian can leverage the imperial examination.

"I think that, except for the sage himself, others are not considered authentic. Since everyone has their own understanding, you might as well give it a try. I also admire the Yangming Xinxue of my great Ming Dynasty. There is no need to only rely on the theory of the previous dynasty. For respect."

"But your majesty, even if you don't have to follow Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, the stereotyped system must never be changed."

Whether it is Neo-Confucianism or Xinxue, everyone is Confucian.Zhu Youjian wanted to use it together, and no one objected too much.But the stereotyped article format is another problem.

Scholars are used to exploiting stereotyped writing, and examiners are also familiar with stereotyped writing, but a sudden change affects everyone.

"I thought there was nothing wrong with it. For example, Qian Aiqing's poems are well written, so you can use poems to answer correctly during the exam."

Zhu Youjian specially praised Qian Qianyi, making Qian Qianyi proudly raise his head high. His poems are famous from the Qinhuai River.Not as good as others.

Everyone was relieved to hear that they could still operate in this way. After all, everyone has their own strengths, and it's good to play their own strengths.

Qian Qianyi even felt that he was born decades earlier, and that if he took the scientific examination again, it would be possible for him to win the first prize. The previous candidate had wronged him.

(ps: Qian Qianyi was Tanhua in the 38th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1610) (three first-class scholars).)

Some people objected to this court meeting, while others were happy.Generally speaking, the resistance to reform is not too great.Before Zhu Youjian worried that the reform of the scientific examination would arouse the resistance of the Manchu Dynasty, it seems that he was overthinking.

Step-by-step reforms and smooth transitions make things smoother.After all, institutional transformation is far more difficult than technological progress.

......

As soon as Huang Shu returned home, he closed the door completely.His face can be regarded as being stepped on by the emperor, and his official career in this life is tantamount to stopping here.

Ever since he jumped out, he never thought that he would end up like this.
