My Daming New Empire

Xie Zhenqi shook his head and said: "Father, if you just follow the steps, when will the boy change his character? If he has support, the boy will inevitably slack off. Only when he reaches Luzon, no one can count on him, and the boy must do something. Only through experience can we change this...indecision..."

Xie Jin comforted: "If Dalang just wants to be a civil servant like me, it is of course expensive to enter the Imperial Academy. But if you want to have greater ambitions, it is a good move to invite overseas. Luzon is good, and the resources here Rich, not far from my Daming.

Brothers and sisters-in-law don't need to worry, as long as Luzon is well protected against miasma and typhoon, it will be peaceful.And now the imperial court has a steam sailboat, which can travel all year round. If you want to go there, you can get there in ten days and half a month, which is more convenient than going to the northwest and southwest. "

Ouyang Wan sighed: "That's the reason, but I can't get over this hurdle..."

Although Luzon is also the Ming Dynasty now, most people still think that it is a land of overseas barbarians.It takes a month to go to Xi'an, and it takes a long journey. To go to Luzon, you only need to take a boat and get there in half a month. However, in most people's minds, Xi'an is closer and better.

Xie Zhenqi faced his parents, bowed to the end and said, "I also hope that the parents will make the child perfect and let the child be self-willed for the last time."

Ouyang Wan burst into tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Since I was a child, you have never let me down, how can my mother not bear to agree to you! However, you also have to promise my mother, at most one term, you will respond to Tianfu."

When you embark on an official career, you can't help yourself.But now that Xie Jin is the chief assistant of the cabinet, it is not difficult for him to transfer his nephew back to Beijing.

Xie Zhenqi said firmly: "The baby will definitely live up to mother's expectations, and it will also change His Highness's impression of me."

What this means is that if you don’t make some achievements, you won’t come back.

Hearing what he said, Ouyang Wan immediately said: "If you don't agree to mother, mother will go to Luzon with you..."

Xie Zhenqi was stunned, his parents were young and had a strong relationship, should they be separated because of him?But he was a little unwilling to ask him to directly agree to his mother's conditions.

He knows his shortcomings, so he wants to change, really settle down, and experience it.With my mother by my side, I am afraid that I will feel distressed every day.

The entanglement here is not over, and in the palace, Lan Yan, who is lying in Zhu Zhanji's arms, is also very excited because he heard about Yu Qian, a famous historical figure.

"Yu Qian is one of the three ministers of the Ming Dynasty that I admire the most. I didn't expect that he has grown up now."

Lan Yan is already eight months pregnant, so she can't sleep with her.However, Zhu Zhanji repeatedly made excuses during this period, and came to linger with her for a while before going to bed to comfort her.

At this time, there was no one else in the study, so the two of them talked a lot more freely.

Holding her plump body in his arms, Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Then you must be disappointed now. He became famous more than 20 years later, but now he is just a young man of the same age as me."

"The at least upright character has been formed, and it is worth looking forward to."

"That's true, that's why I selected him as Tanhua." Zhu Zhanji asked again: "Who are the other two?"

"Zhang Juzheng and Wang Yangming!" Lan Yan said excitedly like a fan who saw an idol, "Yu Qian defended the capital and changed the history of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng's reforms affected the political economy of the Ming Dynasty. And Wang Yangming's The study of mind influenced the ideology and culture of the Ming Dynasty.”

Zhu Zhanji nodded. He knew Yu Qian's achievements, and he also knew some of Zhang Juzheng's achievements. He was known as the first assistant of Ming Dynasty.

He assisted Wanli in creating the "Wanli New Deal". Zhang Juzheng implemented a series of reform measures during his ten years as the chief minister of the cabinet.

In finance, the Qing Dynasty fought the fields and implemented the "one-whip method". In general, taxes and services were paid in silver. Taicang millet could be used for ten years, and Zhousi accumulated funds to more than four million."

In the military, famous generals such as Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang were appointed to the north, and Ling Yunyi and Yin Zhengmao were used to quell the rebellion in the southwest.

In the administration of officials, a comprehensive verification of names and facts is implemented, and officials at all levels are assessed by the "examination method".

It is precisely because of Zhang Juzheng's reform that Wanli was able to win the "Three Great Marches of Wanli" and solve the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty.The Ming Dynasty continued for nearly 50 years under various maladies, Zhang Juzheng's "one whip method" can be said to have contributed a lot.

But for Wang Yangming, Zhu Zhanji felt a little hard to evaluate.

In later generations, many people valued Wang Yangming's status very high, but in Zhu Zhanji's view, the so-called learning of the mind is even more unreliable than Neo-Confucianism.

Neo-Confucianism is still based on the universal value of objective existence, and learns from things.

But Xinxue advocates "reaching conscience" and looking for "reason" from one's own heart, and "reason" is all in one's "heart".

If everyone is a sage, this method will certainly work, but there are all kinds of people, and everyone's standards of conscience are different, which leads to this system having no standards at all.

However, the unity of knowledge and action he proposed is very worthy of recognition, although his unity of knowledge and action first talks about following the inner thoughts.

In his previous life, Zhu Zhanji did not have a deep research on the study of mind, and he always felt that the study of mind has been divorced from academics and has become a kind of philosophical thought.But this kind of philosophical thinking is too profound, so that not many people can really understand it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "Did you know the news that Confucianism is reforming Confucianism recently?"

Lan Yan nodded and said: "Although Confucianism has many historical restrictions, it is the ideological foundation of all Chinese people. If we want to restrict their ideological monopoly, we cannot dig the foundation."

"Of course I know this. What I mean is that there are many philosophical theories in Taoism. Now we have to teach the truth. Do we want to come up with some doctrines as the basis of new thoughts and theories?"

Lan Yan immediately said: "Don't tell me about this, I don't understand, I don't know anything about philosophy. I learned Marxism-Leninism when I was in school, and I had the most headaches. I can't understand the use of these at all."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head with a smile. Talking about this with a woman, he really asked Yu Blind.

But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed too early to emancipate the mind now.He is the heir of the emperor, is he still crying and begging everyone to emancipate their minds quickly, and then come to overthrow him?

Not only can it not be liberated, but management in this area should also be strengthened.

Although it is not possible to imprison everyone's thoughts and to allow society to develop, it is also necessary to strengthen ideological management and guidance to make one's own rule more stable.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Bright yellow paper is used to release the list of palace examinations, with two layers on the outside and inside, divided into big and small gold lists.After the small gold list was presented to the emperor, it was archived in Da Nei.The big gold list was stamped with "Emperor's Treasure", and after the roll call, the minister of the Ministry of Rites sent the emperor's list to the middle gate of Chengtian, and hung it on the wall of the palace outside the Dongchengtian Gate.Therefore, those who pass the Jinshi examination are called "golden list titles".

For any scholar, the roll call in the Golden Luan Palace and the high school imperial list are the most glorious moments in their life.

On April 26, the rainy season in Yingtianfu came at the right time, but the drizzle could not dampen the enthusiasm of the people in Yingtianfu.

Especially Xie Zhenqi, who was the number one scholar, was originally a famous scholar in Yingtian Mansion, and he was sought after by countless scholars and female relatives because of his tall and tall jade tree facing the wind.

Even if Xie Zhenqi was upset because of Zhu Zhanji's comments, he went out of Fengtian Hall surrounded by officials from the Ministry of Rites after going through Chuanlu's roll call.

The scholars centered on him went out of Fengtian Gate, Taihe Gate, Meridian Gate, Duan Gate, and Chengtian Gate.Outside the Chengtian Gate, Yingtian Mansion Yin Zhao Rong arranged flowers and put on red silk, and then personally led the horse for him, his heart was intoxicated and satisfied for a moment.

He straddles a horse with a golden saddle and a red mane, shouting in front of him and embracing behind him, the flags and drums open the way, the cheers are thunderous, the joyous cannons shake the sky, and the streets are decorated with lights and festoons.

The drizzle all over the sky could not stop the enthusiasm of the people in Yingtian Mansion, nor could it stop his excitement.

No regrets in this life——

Compared with Xie Zhenqi's stability and generosity, the second place Liu Ju and Tanhua Yuqian showed more excitement. They were fascinated all the way, and they felt like they didn't know where they were.

The hustle and bustle of the capital city has not subsided yet. The Jinshi of Xinke participated in the Qionglin Banquet, learned etiquette from the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, expressed their gratitude, offered sacrifices to Confucius, etc...

However, on the day when the Xinke Jinshi went to the Ministry of Officials to register, whether they were the Jinshi waiting for the appointment of officials by the Ministry of Officials or the ordinary people, they were all shocked by the news from the Ministry of Officials.

Today's No. [-] Scholar actually asked to be released.And it is not self-invited to go abroad to the territory of Ming Dynasty, but to take the initiative to ask to go to Nanyang Luzon.

Not only ordinary people, but even Zhu Zhanji in the palace was stunned for a while when he got the news the first time.

Although it is still the early Ming Dynasty, there is no saying that non-Hanlin is not allowed to join the cabinet.However, Hanlin is known as the "Prime Minister", because this position is closer to the emperor, and the chance of promotion is faster than those on the same list.

Give up the leisurely life in the capital, and go to Luzon, which can be regarded as a barbarian land, because of the improper compilation of the noble Hanlin Academy.This unraveling period really surprised him this time.

This is like later generations who quit their positions in the State Council and invited themselves to remote mountainous areas to practice.
