Chapter 615
After reading Xie Jin's memorial, Zhu Di knew it in his heart. No wonder civil officials like to emphasize the principles and principles, and they thought they were very loyal to the emperor. It turned out that these guys had their own plans.
Among the five relationships, heaven, earth, king, relatives and teachers, heaven and earth are empty, and kings and fathers are also very far away. An ordinary official may not see the emperor a few times throughout the year, let alone talk and communicate.
For officials, the most important thing is relationships such as fellow townsmen, same subject, same subject, master and apprentice, and in-laws. Among these relationships, master and apprentice are the most realistic.
The master and apprentice in the officialdom are different from ordinary master and apprentice. They refer to the attendant of the imperial examination and the Jinshi in that subject. Almost all of whom can become the chief examiner have some identities, which can provide protection for rookies and even support them until they reach a high position.
Any official will grow old one day and need to retire and go home. At this time, the young and powerful disciples can give back their crows and provide help to the master.
Overall, officials have no choice to engage in teacher-student relationships. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang killed too hard, and they had to join forces to keep warm.
Almost all civil servants in high positions spare no effort to promote the backwards and give young people a chance.
Like Xie Jin, there are many people who analyze the writing style.
And some people simply collect articles and ask people to ponder over several years in advance to try to learn the essence of it, and when the exam is taken, they will be taken out to please the examiner.
Xie Jin was clear about these things. In the past, he didn't even say anything. Now he doesn't care about anything. If you don't let me live a good life, I will tear you apart.
It is said that this guy has low EQ, which is really not unfair. Not only does he have low EQ, he is even a little bit second.
"The civil servants are indeed a cancer in the court with their masters and apprentices. Xie Jin hit the nail on the head and was considered a merit." Zhu Di said to Liu Chun: "You must arrange the Jinyiwei to protect Xie Jin well. If he has a bad fortune, I will never agree."
What else can Liu Chun say, "It's arranged by the minister."
Zhu Di paused and suddenly said, "Liu Chun, who do you think has the most disciples among the court officials?"
"This..." Liu Chun's old face suddenly turned red. Who has the most disciples? It seems that this person is far away in the sky, and it is all in front of him!
"Your Majesty, all the literati who passed the imperial examination are disciples of the emperor, so Your Majesty has the most disciples." Yes, very smart! However, Zhu Di didn't buy it at all.
"I ask your courtier, who has the most disciples?"
"This...maybe it's the Imperial College or maybe it's the Hanlin Academy."
Continue to push outside, Zhu Di's face gradually changed. It was obviously such a simple question, why did Liu Chun go around in circles? As the commander of the Jinyiwei, don't you know yet?
Zhu Di suddenly slapped the table, "I remember, you are you! You have more disciples than anyone else!" Zhu Di sneered at Liu Chun as if he had discovered a new continent, "It turns out that the person Xie Jin is you! I almost forgot."
Liu Chun didn't like to hear it anymore, so he hurriedly retorted: "Your Majesty, Xie Jin is talking about the teacher and the Jinshi. I have never been the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and this account cannot be settled on me."
Zhu Di snorted, "This is not simple, I will let you be the chief examiner now."
Liu Chun rolled his eyes, speechless. Zhu Laosi, do you know if you are intentionally killing someone? Even if I jumped out of the window and died outside in my life, I would not be the chief examiner.
Zhu Di also felt that he was too much, so he got up and walked back and forth on the ground for a few times.
He gradually became serious, and Xie Jin did point out the problem. But how to solve it requires consideration. Strict punishment of forming cliques and making personal gains is probably far from enough.
After all, once the master and apprenticeship status is determined, it will be like this for the rest of your life.
They can protect each other and take their needs without leaving any handle on the premise of complying with the rules of the court.
In addition to abolishing the imperial examination, as long as the imperial examination exists and the chief examiner exists, the master and apprenticeship will be present. Early and late, it will become an excellent excuse for forming cliques and private interests.
"Liu Chun, think of a solution for me, and I will not pursue your sins."
Liu Chun rolled his eyes and said to himself, Zhu Laosi, you'd better pursue my sins. If you have the ability to arrest my disciples and grandchildren, torture them and let them experience all kinds of torture. If I, a master, feel a little distressed, I will turn my name back!
Zhu Laosi, do you dare to bet with me?
Liu Chun hummed angrily, "Your Majesty, I have no good idea, but since ancient times, some cases can still be referenced. For example, in the early Western Han Dynasty, the prime minister was the dominant, and gradually the power of the prime minister gradually became different. By the Tang Dynasty, three provinces appeared, and by the Song Dynasty, there were almost no real prime ministers."
Zhu Di pondered for a moment and asked back: "Liu Chun, are you asking me to separate the imperial examination? Then set up a few more examiners?"
Liu Chun hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Zhu Di waved his hand, "Don't rush to flatter you first. I ask you, how to split an article? Do you have to write more articles and take the exam a few more times? If you repeat it, how can you calculate the best?"
Zhu Di asked questions in succession, and Liu Chun smiled and said, "Your Majesty misunderstood. Although there is only one article, other contents can be tested! For example, common sense, such as laws, mathematics, economics, and even foreign trade, medicine, geography, engineering... can all be tested. As the subjects increase, the number of examiners will be increased. If each candidate has more than a dozen examiners, I think it will be difficult for them to form a party with each other."
To put it bluntly, it is better to add sand and inject water to expand the scope of the exam.
Zhu Di thought about it and said, "It's true that if this happens, it will indeed prevent teachers and students from forming alliances."
"Liu Chun, you have to make a detailed plan for me, and I have to weigh the pros and cons."
Liu Chun hurriedly said goodbye and quickly left the palace. Because he knew that if he walked slowly, he would be washed by saliva again!
Sure enough, just as Liu Chun left the palace gate, Zhu Di suddenly realized it.
Being fooled!
Being deceived!
What bad idea did this damn Liu Chun come up with?
He did not break up the imperial examinations, but clearly used his science to replace the eight-legged article. Others could not accept disciples, but all the candidates became your disciples of Liu Chun.
You are just bullying me and thinking too slowly, right?
We're not finished!
Zhu Di gasped and was anxious to settle the score with Liu Chun.
But no matter how hard they both made a fuss, they were all the civil officials in the court who were scared.
Crazy!
Really crazy!
The imperial examination will be changed to science.
The Four Books and Five Classics we have read for the rest of our lives are useless.
The Confucius and Mencius Daotong were overthrown, and now even the imperial examinations were changed. The articles were superb and full of knowledge, and they could no longer be an official in the court. They had to learn Liu Chun's set of things before they could pass the exam and become officials.
It's tolerant, but who can't bear it!
Where is the right way in the world?
Who can support the country?
This time it was much more serious than being sent to the Kong family. It really happened that I encountered the vital interests of everyone.
Not to mention anything else, how many people's children and nephews have been reading for more than ten years and are preparing to take the imperial examination. If the examination content is changed, wouldn't they be in vain?
Nothing for anything else, even for the sake of the children, I have to fight!
The officials hated Liu Chun and wanted to fight to the death. But then they thought, the most hateful one was Xie Jin. Why didn't he die? It's all his fault for talking nonsense and bewitching the holy listen, but ended up causing such a terrible thing.
We must kill Xie Jin and dispel His Majesty's terrible thoughts!
At this moment, Xie Jin was addicted to the deliciousness of the sauce elbow and could not extricate himself. Since he was arrested in the twelfth month of last year, the poor Xueshi Xie has lost a lot of weight, and the skin on his face has drooped. It is so pitiful.
Eat meat, eat meat in big mouthfuls, and make up quickly.
Xie Jin was busy eating wildly, and he had no idea how much trouble he had caused.
"Master, Mr. Pingyue asked for a meeting."
Zhang Fu came to visit Liu Chun.
"Sir, I received a letter, which is completely unfinished, so please check it out."
Liu Chun took it, the content was not complicated, he only said that Zhang Fu would return to Annan without paying attention to others, and let the follow-up followers go slowly, and the matter was accomplished and tens of thousands of taels of gold were given.
"This is to let you release water on the road so that Xie Jin can be killed!"
Zhang Fu was shocked, "Mr. Liu, can't someone be joking?"
Liu Chun shook his head, "No one can joke about money, you don't have to care. As expected, they started moving, and everything was left to me."
Liu Chun immediately handed over a long-prepared imperial examination reform strategy.
Zhu Di held Liu Chun's strategy in his left hand and Dongchang's secret report in his right hand, pondering for a long time. He was not suspicious of Liu Chun, but he simply felt that if this continues, people would forget that there was an emperor like him in the Ming Dynasty!
But since the civil servant strongly opposes it, it proves that I did the right thing!
"To use this reform strategy to unveil six ministries!" Zhu Di said decisively.
Chapter completed!
