Qiming 1158

Chapter 619 Su Yonglin: I changed it again

My subordinates, you said my words, brainstormed ideas, and finally decided to submit the table to the emperor again.

They hoped that the emperor would consider the fact that it was only five months away from the start of the imperial examination in the second year of Hongwu, and not make changes to the content of the imperial examination, otherwise some scholars would really go crazy.

This is not in everyone's interest.

However, after receiving the above table, Su Yonglin was still inaccurate.

He personally wrote a letter to the Ministry of Rites.

["Book of Rites·University" says, Gou Rixin, daily new, and daily new, all things in the world are constantly changing, the world is big, and changing with each passing day, if you can't even bear the changes in the district imperial examinations, what is the use of such mediocre people? ? 】

This is indeed a magical war. Su Yonglin skillfully used the content of Confucian classics to launch a magical attack on the Ministry of Rites.

Not only that, Su Yonglin also stated that he originally planned to revise the system of the imperial examination, and planned to reform the Daming imperial examination into five rounds of county examination, state examination, provincial examination, general examination and palace examination, because considering that scholars could not bear it for a while. A large number of changes have been postponed to the second imperial examination in Hongwu five years as appropriate.

The emperor has made concessions, what else do you plan to do?
No!

It was the first time that the ministers of the Ministry of Rites received Su Yonglin's handwriting.

Then they were even more shocked to hear that the emperor was going to reform the imperial examination system and increase the imperial examination to five rounds of selection!

The emperor not only wanted to bring back the rules of selecting scholars by subject in the imperial examinations, but even made some innovations in the examination rules.

Yaoshou!
Kong Zheng almost fainted, but the left servant Zhou Jiang quickly supported Kong Zheng.

"Minister, are you alright?"

"Not good, not good at all!"

Kong Zheng's face was full of panic and frustration, he was helpless after thinking about it, and he was really unable to stand up against the powerful emperor Su Yonglin, so he could only choose to compromise.

But you can't let yourself say this kind of thing alone, you must let all the officials of the Ministry of Rites take the blame together, so as to prevent yourself from becoming a victim of the entire Ministry of Rites in the future.

Carrying the blame, I want everyone to carry it together, you bastards, don't even try to escape!
So Kong Zheng planned to ask everyone for an accurate word.

"Your Majesty has already made concessions. If we continue to force it, we may make His Majesty unhappy. If His Majesty is unhappy, it is our fault. Gentlemen, what do you think?"

Kong Zheng watched all the subordinates attending the meeting, and found that except for Yelujin, who was hanging up high with nothing to do with himself, the rest of the people were frowning.

Kong Zheng was angry for a while.

"Master Yelu, what do you think?"

Yelujin didn't intend to speak, but only intended to watch the jokes of Kong Zheng and others in revenge for their ignorance of him since the opening of the Ministry of Rites.

He was happy now, and Yelujin was stunned when he heard Kong Zheng's question suddenly, and immediately put on a distressed expression.

"My Majesty, this subordinate thinks that the most important thing is that His Majesty is happy and His Majesty is willing. In other respects, if we disagree with His Majesty, it is really... Butang, we have already tried our best."

Kong Zheng was so angry that he could only look at the other subordinates.

"Master, what do you think?"

Kong Zheng asked Zhou Jiang.

Zhou Jiang hesitated for a long time, seeing that he couldn't escape, so he could only express his opinion.

"When the new dynasty was established, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the first decree promulgated the world was related to the imperial examination. Right now, all the eyes of the court are staring at the Ministry of Rites. If the Ministry of Rites goes wrong, it will be disgraceful and let outsiders think that the Ministry of Rites and His Majesty are at odds. , the problem is bigger.”

Kong Zheng sighed and felt that what Zhou Jiang said was really reasonable.

How could he let outsiders feel that his Ministry of Rites and Su Yonglin were at odds?

Isn't that a draw?

Heaven and earth are big, the emperor is the biggest, and the power is the most powerful. In the face of this situation, you can only die as a fellow Daoist and not die as a poor Daoist.

I'm sorry, scholar in the world, Kong, someone did his best!

So Kong Zheng decided to obey the order, and then asked Zhou Jiang and Yelujin to sign together.

Yelujin was the first to sign his name without heart and heart, and he sighed while signing, as if he was reluctant, but the movement of his hand did not fall at all, and he quickly signed his name.

When Zhou Jiang saw Yelujin go up, he scolded [shameless barbarian] secretly, and then helplessly followed to sign his name. He hesitated when signing, but finally wrote it.

Both the left and right servants have signed, and this is what the Ministry of Rites has determined.

The Ministry of Rites decided to compromise and compromise with Emperor Su Yonglin.

After Su Yonglin received the list from the Ministry of Rites, he sneered for a while, and handed the list to Tian Guizi who came to perform.

"Guzi, look at it, the disciples of the sage Confucius from the Ministry of Rites can't resist the threat of swords and guns and the temptation of fame and wealth, they like power the most.

As for the teachings of the saints, what is that?Can it be eaten as food or as money?Or can they save their lives?Neither can, so they don't care. "

Tian Guizi took the playing sheet handed over by Su Yonglin and looked at it slightly.

"The compromise of the Ministry of Rites is a matter of course. Alang is the founding emperor and has a powerful reputation. Outsiders all regard Alang as a heavenly man, and they dare not disobey Alang's orders. Therefore, what the Ministry of Rites does is just a symbolic objection. After all, we have to compromise. of."

Su Yonglin was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.

"That being said, I also have to rely on this power to do things, but in the end, I personally don't really hope that there is any kind of statement like a man in the sky, to hold me like a god, I obviously don't want to be the emperor, Don't be holy, but it turns out to be more than the emperor, Guizi, do you think this is good or bad?"

Su Yonglin looked at Tian Guizi.

Tian Guizi lowered his head and thought for a while.

"As Alang said before, at present, there are more people who need the emperor, and there are too few people who don't need the emperor. If Alang can become an emperor who speaks the truth, he can do more things and promote more changes. Therefore, I thought that was a good thing."

"No, it's not a good thing, it can only be said that the two evils are the lesser of two evils."

Su Yonglin shook his head, and said solemnly, "The more no one dares to question the emperor, the more holy the emperor will be. I clearly wanted all the people of the world to give up their blind obedience to the emperor, but I strengthened their obedience to the emperor.

In order to do big things and concentrate my strength, I have to do this, but after all, this is against my original intention, and it is not conducive to my future actions. In the future, there will definitely be another wave, and whether the wave can be calmed down for a while is the decision. the root of everything. "

Tian Guizi listened and thought for a while, feeling that what Su Yonglin said made sense.

"Alang is thoughtful, but no matter what, I will stand by Alang and never change my aspirations."

"That's good."

Su Yonglin smiled and nodded.

Then the two discussed the rules and points of attention for the court's affairs for a while, and Tian Guizi was about to leave. Before leaving, Tian Guizi looked at the servant in Su Yonglin's study who was busy carrying things, and seemed to think of something.

"Alang, I heard that Tao Lin, the envoy of the Xuanhui Academy, said on the table that the number of servants in the palace was insufficient, and he hoped to increase the number of servants, but you did not allow it, did you?"

"Well, yes, I'm not going to continue using eunuchs."

Su Yonglin looked at the servants who were busy, and said: "These are young servants who used to work in Jin Ting, and the number is about 300. Right now, the inner palace also needs manpower, so I will use them first, but There is no need to continue recruiting.

A good-looking man has to be castrated. He becomes neither male nor female. Psychopaths are common. We all know what such a person can do, so I don't plan to use it anymore, so I will castrate the castrated from me. Dethrone it. "
