When the emperor gave an order, there was an instant silence in the hall.

Kangxi glanced at Zhang Yushu, a scholar of Baohedian, with a complicated expression.

Why do schools need reform?

The reason is that the learning content of students all over the world can no longer keep up with the changes in the world.Since the content of study can't keep up with the imperial examination?Kangxi knew well that the reform of the imperial examination was bound to proceed with the school reform, but there were tens of thousands of students in the world, so how to promote the reform of the imperial examination was not an easy task.

Does Zhang Yushu, who is a bachelor of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, know?He must know!However, he still brazenly put forward the idea of ​​imperial examination reform in front of himself in spite of the disapproval of the world.

Kangxi couldn't help giving a secret praise: Su Cun is worthy of being my servant!Of course, the excitement subsided, and what followed in his mind was the worry about Zhang Yushu.

This incident was extraordinary.

If it gets out, I'm afraid that Zhang Yushu will be spurned by the students all over the world and become the enemy of many students.

Kangxi raised his eyes and looked around at the ministers in the palace.

Needless to say the reaction of the students all over the world, just looking at the many emotional and red-faced civil servants in the court hall, one can know the impact of Zhang Yushu's words on them.

This needs to be carefully considered and implemented.

After much deliberation, Kangxi finally decided that it is better to be safe.His voice was calm and calm: "The reform of the imperial examinations concerns the students all over the world, and even I cannot make a decision on my own. Within seven days from today, anyone who has an idea will submit a memorial to me, and it will be held at the Great Court Meeting seven days later." debate!"

The courtiers looked at each other.

Whether they support or oppose it, they all feel that the emperor is definitely on our side.There was a crackling sound between their eyes, this debate will never lose!

Of course, many courtiers had their brains twisted.

Their gazes slid across Zhang Yushu's straight back without a trace—a scholar of the Hall of Preserving Harmony...if it is possible...

Before their dirty thoughts surfaced, Kangxi's stern voice suddenly sounded in his ears.Kangxi looked around at all the courtiers of the clan, and said loudly: "Before this matter is settled, I don't want to leak any news, including your family, students and subordinates. If you let me know that someone deliberately leaked... I will definitely punish you severely."

The chilling intent in Kangxi's voice was not concealed in the slightest, and all the courtiers present were shocked.

The smile on the opponent's face suddenly froze.

This... Isn't this clearly on the side of the supporters?

The officials who can go to this place are not fools, they are all the best of the best.Thinking carefully about the meaning revealed in the emperor's words, except for a small number of people who still showed displeasure, most of the rest held their breath and concentrated, and their minds began to turn sharply.

Could it be the memorial delivered by Zhang Yushu, a scholar of the Palace of Baohe Palace, ordered by the emperor?Once this conjecture appeared, the most alarmed was the courtiers who originally wanted to use the power of the world's students to severely attack Zhang Yushu, the great scholar of the Baohe Palace.Beads of sweat emerged from the tips of their noses, and the idea was snuffed out in an instant.

Zhang Yushu, who had already prepared for the scapegoat, was shocked.He looked up at the emperor in disbelief, his nose was sour, and his eyes were red.

This is the amulet given to him by the emperor!

With tears in his eyes, Zhang Yushu looked at Kangxi with hope. As a courtier, he studied poetry and books to become an official, didn't he just want to show his ambitions and live up to what he had learned in his life?

As a capable minister, it is not my luck to meet such a wise emperor?Zhang Yushu made up his mind that he would do his best to repay the trust of the emperor, and assist the emperor to achieve the eternal hegemony, even going through fire and water.

After retiring from the imperial court, he was announced by Kangxi to go to Dongnuang Pavilion immediately - this scene fell into the eyes of all the clan courtiers and made them confirm their conjectures.

A group of opposition groups sweated their shirts.

Good guy!Was it the emperor who dug the pit together with Zhang Yushu, a scholar of Baohedian University?

The clan courtiers peeped at each other.

Thousands of thoughts in everyone's minds were mixed into a ball of thread. After retreating from the court, they rushed back to the mansion with a sad face, and immediately got into the study room to think.

Imperial examination reform?

Imperial examination reform!

Kangxi, who returned to Dongnuan Pavilion with Zhang Yushu, ordered Liang Jiugong to announce the prince Yinfeng and all the elder brothers.Yinzhen, who was busy preparing for the steam engine competition, still had an expression of reluctance: "Khan Ama, my son is very busy!"

"Ninth brother! Something big happened in the hall today!" The fifth elder brother Yinqi bumped his elbow into Yinzhen, and said with a beaming smile, "Guess what happened?"

"Big event?" Yinzhen blinked her eyes.

Then he turned his head and observed each brother's expression curiously.

Not to mention the excited eldest brother and fifth brother.

It was the prince's second and fourth brothers who were usually the most stable, with strange expressions on their faces, chatting endlessly together.

The only one who looks more gloomy is the third elder brother Yinzhi, which is quite rare.

Yinzhen was curious.

He pricked up his ears to listen secretly.

"arithmetic……"

"I would say...the law is"

A few indistinct words just flowed into Yinzhen's ears, and before he could probe over to listen carefully, Yinqi's ears were grabbed by Yinqi: "Ninth brother, you are sneaking away."

"...Fifth Brother, let me go!"

"You tell me the answer first." Yin Qi did not let him go so easily.

How can you guess just by listening to these words?Yinzhen was speechless, but the fifth elder brother Yinqi was very interested, so he had to rack his brains to think about it.

Could it be something about the school?

But isn't the school already arranged?Is it necessary to be so excited?

The second monk Yinzhenzhang couldn't figure it out.

He thought hard for a long time, and suddenly he only felt a bright light flash in his mind.Yinzhen's eyes sparkled, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't it... the reform of the imperial examination?"

The complacent Yin Qi was instantly dejected.

Seeing the fifth brother's reaction, Yinzhen also knew that he had guessed right, his face was filled with the word "excitement", and the bright fire ignited in the bottom of Yinzhen's eyes, he jumped up and down excitedly: "Originally, stereotyped The text is useless, it should have been changed a long time ago!"

The third elder brother Yinzhi's face was not good-looking.

He has read a lot of poetry and books, and because he is in charge of all affairs of the Ministry of Rites and the Department of Culture and Cleansing Officials, most of Yinzhi's friends and followers in the mansion are famous scholars or today's great Confucianists.

He does support all kinds of inventions, he also supports various fairy tale books to broaden children's horizons, and he is happy to support the promotion of schools to various places... But the only thing he can't accept is the use of knives on the imperial examinations.

Hearing Yinzhen's words, Yinzhi reprimanded without hesitation: "This has been handed down since ancient times, how can it be easily changed?"

While talking, Yin Zhi's eyes couldn't help but slid over Zhang Yushu, a scholar of the Baohe Temple, and Zhang Yushu, who noticed the unkind eyes of the third elder brother, could only touch his nose with a wry smile.

Yinzhi originally planned to rush at Zhang Yushu by talking to his ninth brother, but he never expected Yinzhen to chuckle: "It has been handed down since ancient times? Why can't things left over from ancient times be changed?"

"The law of the ancestors cannot be changed..."

"The eight-legged essay can only be traced back to the Song Dynasty. It was not until the Chenghua period of the previous dynasty that a strict and fixed eight-legged essay format was formed. It has gone through several generations."

Yinzhen said frankly: "As for the content discussed by scholars in the world today, it must be carried out in accordance with Zhu Zi's "Four Books Chapters and Sentences". The things that cannot be played at will started from the Southern Song Dynasty to the former Dynasty. How many years have passed? My younger brother, I said that purely using the "Four Books Chapters and Sentences" as the standard to select scholars has not kept up with the times. Didn’t there be other imperial examination methods before the Song Dynasty? After the reform, the eight-legged essay was used, so why can’t it be changed now?”

"Zhu Zi is a sage, how can you disrespect a sage, ninth brother?" Yin Zhi became more and more dissatisfied with his attitude.

"My brother, I am not disrespectful. Zhu Zi is indeed a very great person, but the collection of chapters and sentences in the Four Books has been used repeatedly for hundreds of years... for hundreds of years! How many topics have been used repeatedly? How many people win by betting on the topic every year?"

Yinzhen's blunt speech left Yinzhi speechless.

Before waiting for the third brother to refute, Yinzhen complained and said: "The original purpose of the imperial examination is to find good talents, but year after year I refer to it, all relying on betting to win. Can't memorize clearly, can't do anything other than memorize? Third brother, you forgot that you complained before that you wanted to find some officials to help you in the Ministry of Rites, but you were a bunch of pedantic scholars. Why can't you do anything?"

Yinzhi was shrouded in haze.

It took a long time before he sighed helplessly: "How could the third brother not know the disadvantages of this imperial examination? But scholars all over the world have read books for decades. How can they feel that this dynasty has completely subverted and reformed? I am afraid that if someone provokes them ...the result is unimaginable!"

This is what Kangxi was worried about from the beginning.

Kangxi and Zhang Yushu looked at each other and couldn't help nodding.

At this moment Prince Yinreng smiled and said, "Third brother is too worried."

"Second brother of the prince?"

"Yinfeng?"

Prince Yinreng replied calmly: "Khan Ama, it was previously decided to complete the construction of schools in various places within ten years, unify the teaching content, and implement new teaching and examinations. Since this is the case, the reform of the imperial examination should also be carried out at the same time, and the old and new ones should be carried out at the same time within ten years. Examination, supporting the choice of Juren and students, and completely abolishing the old imperial examinations after ten years."

"Ten years as a transition period?"

Kangxi tapped on the imperial case lightly, his thinking eyes flickered, after a long time Kangxi nodded and smiled: "What the prince said is very reasonable."

Yinfeng held his head high.

He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Ama Khan, I have another idea."

"you say?"

"Gathering ideas, after discussing in the court, I think...maybe it can be announced after the train race!"

School reform may be ignored by the common people all over the world, but imperial examination reform will definitely not be ignored.In order to avoid being caught fire, and to let the whole world know the importance of the new school and culture, the train race with explosive effect will be announced later, which may make the imperial examination reform come more smoothly.

Kangxi immediately reacted.

He smiled and nodded: "I agree."

Turning around, Kangxi brought Yinzhen over: "How is the steam locomotive?"

"Khan Ama, if you don't believe in my ministers, you have to believe in the adults and researchers!" Yinzhen smiled kindly, and this expression, which was very different from his immature appearance, fell into Kangxi's eyes and almost made him shudder.

Yinzhen didn't notice Kangxi's abnormality.

He happily talked about the excellence of the researchers, could Yinzhen not be kind?Looking at the researcher, he was like seeing a thriving little donkey. When they grow up, they can help the big donkey Master Zhang and others to pull the big millstone of Daqing!

Kangxi: ...

He patted Yinzhen on the shoulder: "You have spoken out what is in your heart."

The adult donkey Zhang Yushu couldn't laugh or cry.

He looked at the dumbfounded Ninth Brother, clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Thanks to Ninth Brother for his love, I am ashamed to accept it."

Yinzhen: ...

He replied subconsciously: "There is no need to feel ashamed, Khan Ama must be very happy, Mr. Zhang is a good donkey..."

Good Donkey Zhang Yushu: ...

Kangxi's face was full of black lines, and he clenched his right fist and knocked on Yinzhen's head: "You... learn how your prince's second brother and eldest brother look like, they are still not stable at all! Remember to go out casually Calling the courtier a donkey, I am afraid that my face will be humiliated by you kid."

Yinzhen puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

He shook his head and sighed: "Khan Ama, you don't understand, this donkey is not derogatory, but a compliment!"

Kangxi: ...

He stared at Yinzhen blankly: You make it up, and I will see how you make it up.
