Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

So on this day, the people in the capital city also had a lot of fun--seven or eight nobles carried their second sons and young masters and so on, without covering their injured legs, and just swaggered around the capital like this Then he was taken back for treatment.

Emperor Chongzhen who followed the news smiled helplessly.

These nobles are too capable.I was afraid that I wouldn't dare to use them, so I sent my youngest sons who didn't know how to attack the princes to do something wrong-this was equivalent to taking the initiative to give the handle to myself, so that I could use them with confidence.

After all, there is no noble family that has lasted for nearly 300 years, and it is unlikely that there will be a particularly brainless situation.Now everyone can see that the emperor puts a lot of emphasis on warriors, especially after the appearance of the British princes and princes, these people's hearts are even hotter.

But the problem is that the brain is a good thing, not everyone has it.The young masters of these seven or eight Xungui families are typical, and the troubles caused Dongchang's head.Dongchang, as the emperor's domestic slave, will still be used to their stinking problems?

Especially when the emperor reused the factory guards, it was nothing to discount the legs of a few noble sons, but not to discount the legs of the eldest son who wanted to attack the noble family.

After throwing aside the brochures sent by Jin Yiwei, Emperor Chongzhen no longer thought about these honorable matters.These people are used on the left and right, who is not used?The British Duke is already old, and he doesn't know how long he can last. He can't rely on the British Duke and Liu Xingzuo to support the world.However, the nobles have already stated their position - begging the emperor to take a look, begging the emperor to use us, but we have handed you all the little whips used to flog us.

Chongzhen felt that since this kind of beginning had already appeared, it was a good thing, maybe he could test the attitude of these scholars again in the palace examination tomorrow?

When it was time for the palace examination the next day, Chongzhen felt rather pained looking at the quail-like students in the palace.

Nothing else, the number of people is too fucking small.In future generations, there will be many more masters from a random university than this.If so few people are recruited every three years, isn't this officialdom like a bloody pool of stagnant water, with no vitality for competition?

But no matter how painful it is, the truth has to come step by step, I hope next year's palace examination will be different.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was thinking secretly in his heart, cleared his throat and said, "Students can come to this hall to take the palace examination, which in itself shows that you are all outstanding scholars, and you will all be officials in the future."

"The son of heaven is the herdsman on behalf of the emperor. The official is the herdsman on behalf of the son of heaven. However, the official characters have two openings, one opening and one closing, which are related to people's livelihood, so we have to be careful when choosing them."

"I will not test your knowledge of articles in today's imperial examination. What I want to test for school is your knowledge of officials and herdsmen. Therefore, there are only three questions, and there are no restrictions on stereotyped or stereotyped essays. You can answer them with poetry. Can."

After finishing his speech, Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen, "Order someone to hand out the paper."

It's just that after these scholars got the test papers, they were dumbfounded.

Question [-]: Which states and counties did you pass through on your way to Beijing?Population geometry?How to judge whether a state or county is rich?

The second question: I can get what I want from the fish, and I can get what I want from the bear's paw. You can't have both, and those who give up the fish will take the bear's paw.Now if you want to have both, can you find the right way?

Two sheets of paper, each with only one question.It is not a word more.To put it bluntly, it is up to you to play.

Just on the first question, [-]% of the students have been stumped.The hell knows these things!I won't!

But there is no way to do it, so I have to write it out based on the general memory along the way, so I can pass the test anyway.

But what the hell is this second question?Both fish and bear's paws know that this is an allusion from "Mencius".But what's the next sentence?Life is also what I want; righteousness is also what I want.The two cannot be obtained at the same time, and those who sacrifice their lives for righteousness are also.

That's the most important thing.

It is easy to give up one's life for righteousness, but what is not easy is how to take up righteousness without giving up one's life—Mr.

Even if you know it yourself, do you really dare to answer this question?But if you don't answer this question, this is the time of the Emperor's Palace Examination, so what kind of crime should you be charged with?

Sweat dripped from the faces of hundreds of students.

Time passed bit by bit.When the first pillar of incense was burned, only 45 of the students in the hall could answer the second question with pens.

The forty or fifty students looked at the other people with sad faces, but they were determined.Since others didn't answer it, but I answered it myself, then the ranking must be high.The only thing to worry about is the scores of the two questions.

"time up!"

Following Wang Chengen's long shout, the students who had been sweating coldly and did not answer the second question also let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally, I no longer have to endure this inhuman torment.In the face of the torture of conscience, I really don't know how to answer this question.

It's not that there is no way to sit on the fence, but no matter how you answer, you can't get around the moral disadvantage.

The students who answered this question and the students who did not answer this question were divided into two factions after standing up.I answered, and felt that I had hope of becoming a first-class Jinshi.

Those who have not answered are secretly worried in their hearts.Not to mention being selected as the top three, even if you don't get convicted of being a gentleman today, I'm afraid it's all good.

Chongzhen has long been aware of the situation of the scholars.He didn't go to accept the test paper presented by Wang Chengen, but only ordered: "Separate those who have answered the second question from those who have not answered the second question, and then submit them."

Sorting is fast.After Wang Chengen presented it again, Chongzhen first picked up the test paper that had answered the second question, and did not even look at the first question, but only looked at the answer to the second question.

Forty or fifty copies of the test papers only looked at the second question, and they still glanced at it briefly, and finished it in a short while.

Chongzhen ignored the forty or fifty students below who were secretly delighted, but picked up another pile of unanswered test papers, picked up one at random, glanced at the answer to the first question, and asked: "Yang Feng?"

Among the scholars below, Yang Feng, who heard the words, stood up unexpectedly and bowed, "The student is here."

Chongzhen hummed, and said lightly, "Why didn't you answer the second question?"

Chongzhen's voice was uneven, making it even more difficult to guess what was going on in his heart.Yang Feng murmured for a long time, then mustered up his courage and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the students don't know how to answer, so they dare not write indiscriminately."

Chongzhen's voice remained unchanged: "It's so hard to have both? It's not that you don't know, but you dare not answer!"

The cold sweat on Yang Feng's forehead became heavier, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it off. Suddenly, he heard Emperor Chongzhen's words of encouragement: "Just answer, I forgive you for your innocence."

Hearing the words, Yang Feng turned his heart away, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead abruptly, and regardless of whether the king was disrespectful, he mustered up his courage and said loudly: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, right is right, and wrong is wrong. Students think that there is no third way to go. Students don’t know how to have both! Students don’t know how to play tricks!”

Hearing this, Chongzhen smiled but did not order Yang Feng to return to the team. He just took out another test paper from another pile of already answered questions, and said casually: "Xu Yi? You come to answer me, how do fish and bears answer?" Have both?"

Among the four or fifty scholars, a middle-aged man about 50 years old stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the students think that the word "righteousness" is to sacrifice one's life to seek it. It’s too late. It’s just that when you can’t get what you want even if you give up your life, it’s not too late to take a step back and save your useful body for future plans.”

Chongzhen hummed, but did not answer, just pondered for a while.

When everyone in the hall started to tremble with fear, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly picked up the pile of test papers that had answered the second question and began to tear them up.

After the tearing was over, Chongzhen didn't look at the faces of the four or fifty people below who were dead parents, and said directly: "Either you sacrifice your life for righteousness, or you are greedy for life and afraid of death. There is a second way to go? If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of death." Burning firewood? What kind of bullshit theory is this? In the face of Jiannu, you surrender first and then come back? How is it different from the slaves with three surnames?"

"It doesn't matter if you want to get promoted and get rich. Promotion itself means higher salary, and I will not ask every official to be like Yan Zi."

"It doesn't matter even if you don't know how to be an official. Daming has plenty of textbooks and examples of being an official, telling you how to be a good official who can serve the country and the people."

"However, what I can't tolerate is not being a good person!"

"Two faces, three knives, three family slaves, which word is not prepared for this kind of person?"

As soon as the fire was over, Chongzhen said directly: "Anyone who answers the second question, let it go. The province's education and government will revoke his student status. Get back all the granary food and tax-free preferential treatment. This kind of talent, the current Ming Dynasty unnecessary!"

Chapter 199 The Egg Painful Huang Taiji

Chongzhen looked at the forty or fifty cases in the hall that finally showed their intelligence but were eliminated, and said indifferently: "Your intelligence, if you use it in business, you can become a rich family. If you use it in investigating things, you may not be able to make a difference." Achievement. It is only used in the officialdom, and it is inevitable that it will be hung outside the Meridian Gate like Huang Liji in the end."

After the reprimand, Emperor Chongzhen also lost interest in commenting on whether the top three were top or not, and simply said to Wen Tiren: "Wen Aiqing, Shi Aiqing, Zhang Ruitu and Zhang Aiqing together, read these papers again, and choose the best one to report to me."

These papers that only answered the first question, although there is only one question, contain a lot of things.

First of all, it is necessary to judge whether the candidate has observed the states and counties that he passed through on his way to Beijing, and in the small question of how to view whether a state or county is rich, it is possible to roughly determine whether the candidate has really thought about how to do it. As an official, do you know how to be an official?

Chongzhen, who lost his interest, simply announced the disbandment of the dynasty and returned to the harem.Think about the academy run by someone surnamed Yun, look, no one chooses to answer this question, and look at your own Ming Dynasty, the bastard has learned to compromise, bastard!
