Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 169 What is talent
Qionghua Island College of Arts and Sciences, this is a mysterious place that the world still doesn't know.

At least, at this moment, the entire Ming Dynasty knows that there are not many people who have such a liberal arts academy.

Because the Academy of Arts and Sciences is on Qionghua Island, it is basically impossible to get there without a boat, and now all the boats in Taiye Pool are under the strict control of the Imperial Army, and people who have nothing to do with it don't even think about coming up .

In order to prevent the eunuchs from realizing that he is about to launch a purge operation, Taichang will naturally not let irrelevant people go to the island, so at this moment, the more than a hundred officials transferred from Nanzhili on the island are carefully selected inner palace supervisors. eunuch.

Moreover, these people were not allowed to leave Qionghua Island for the past few days, and the Jin Yiwei who picked them up and sent them to the island stayed on the island at all other times except to pick them up.

With such strict confidentiality measures, outsiders will naturally not know the existence of such a liberal arts academy.

At least, at this moment, except for a few of Taichang's cronies, no one outside knows about it.

However, on this day, many people came to the island one after another, and they didn't come from the pier next to the Chengguang Hall, but came from the pier next to the water pool outside by wheel.

Wheels of wheels kept going back and forth between Jishuitan and Taiye Pool, and boatloads of students boarded Qionghua Island and were sent to the large square in front of the main hall of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, forming a queue like going to court.

These are students who are determined to serve the country.

They also don't know what work the emperor will arrange for them.

They only know that Mr. Xu Guangqi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is not an eunuch, but a trusted and important minister of the emperor, and he is quite famous, like the great victory in Liaodong and Southwest, which is very different from the weapons and equipment that the Ministry of Industry rushed to make day and night. Relationship.

Such people are naturally good ministers who truly serve the country and the people, so they went to the Ministry of Industry to find Mr. Xu Guangqi to sign up.

They originally thought that the emperor would call them and arrange work after finishing the palace examination, but they never thought that early in the morning, some soldiers from the Shenwu Battalion came to the door and asked them to clean up, and then took them directly to the Jishuitan pier.

At this time, the Jishuitan Wharf was also tightly sealed by the soldiers of the Shenwu Camp. Except for the students who were brought over one after another, no one else could approach the wharf at all. When it is full, the wheels that run as fast as a horse will start and head straight for Shichahai.

To be honest, this wheel that can run as fast as a horse without people stepping on it has already amazed the students. When they arrived in the imperial city, they were even more shocked when they saw the huge scale of the Academy of Arts and Sciences.

They have never heard of this place!
When will there be more liberal arts colleges in the imperial city?
They have only heard of Huangji Hall, Qianqing Palace, Wenhua Hall, Wuying Hall, Ciqing Palace and other places. There is also a very large-scale Academy of Arts and Sciences in the imperial city, but they have never heard of it.

The speed of the wheel boats is not so fast. It takes three or four trips to pick up seven or eight hundred students in ten wheel boats. In less than two hours, the seven or eight hundred students have been taken to Qionghua Island. They are neatly arranged in front of the main hall of the Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Not long after, there was a loud singing in the main hall: "Announce all the students to see you."

Audience?

The emperor is in the hall!
All the students quickly lined up in a neat queue under the command of Jin Yiwei, and filed into the main hall.

Isn't the emperor in dragon robe sitting on the warm pavilion facing the gate?

Although they didn't know the emperor, no one else would dare to wear this dragon robe.

After everyone entered the hall, under the command of Jin Yiwei, they went up to the mountain neatly and shouted long live, and then Taichang on the Nuan Pavilion said solemnly: "Pingshen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the students got up from the ground excitedly. At this moment, they actually had the illusion of going to court early!

It's a pity that since they chose to serve the country and the people, there is basically no hope for the future exams.

Originally, they failed the exam after studying hard, but if something happened, they would have no time to review, so it would be no wonder they still passed the exam.

If they fail the exam, they will naturally not be able to get the gold list title, and the chances of not getting the gold list title to stay in the capital are quite slim. They are afraid that they will have little chance to go to the real morning court.

Unexpectedly, the emperor seemed to have heard their voices!
Immediately afterwards, Taichang said loudly: "You may all think that once you choose to serve the country and the people, you will have no chance to be named on the gold list in the future, right?"

Who said no?
If it wasn't for the presence of the emperor, these students might not be able to help but sigh.

Who knows, Taichang immediately said loudly: "I tell you, those who stand here today, most of them will be named in the gold list in the future!"

Ah!
If the emperor hadn't said these words, they would definitely not be able to help but spit on others.

What are you kidding?

Is it so easy to get a title on the Gold List?

They are all students who will fail the exam, and they have been studying hard before coming here. Just like that, they didn't pass the exam. How can they be named in the gold list in the future!

Question, why did the emperor say that?
Taichang glanced around again, and then said solemnly: "What do you think is a real talent?"

The emperor definitely didn't ask them to answer this question. All the students understood that the emperor was just starting and there must be more to say later.

Sure enough, the emperor immediately explained: "I feel that those who really want to do things for the country and the people are the real talents. Those who only want to be named on the gold list, and then enter the court to fight for power and profit will eventually become chaotic officials and thieves who will harm the country and the people." You are truly talented if you can give up the chance to be named on the gold list and choose to do things for the country and the people."

Uh, this sounds so comfortable!
All the students present were full of excitement.

Scholars died for their confidantes, and the emperor can regard them as real talents. They are really moved and just want to say "dedicate yourself to death!".

Taichang then said loudly: "I have read all your answer sheets, and I think you have almost learned the "Four Books and Five Classics". From now on, as long as you do your best to serve the country and the people, I guarantee that within ten years, you They can all be named on the gold list!"

You are not joking, since the emperor said so, they will definitely be named on the gold list.

Unexpectedly, Taichang immediately said in a serious manner: "Of course, I told you this in private, so please stop talking nonsense!"

Uh, why is the emperor's expression a little funny?

All the students didn't dare to laugh, but with just this sentence, they felt that the emperor was much more kind.

Taichang smiled again and said, "Okay, that's all I've said today, and then your teacher will teach you how to do things for the country and the people."

As soon as his words fell, Xu Guangqi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't wait to walk out of the small door next to the Nuan Pavilion, stood on the first step of the Nuan Pavilion and said loudly: "Next, I will start to roll the roll. Come to the front and line up."

Immediately afterwards, he took out the list and called it up loudly.

After a while, more than ten students came to the front and lined up in a neat row.

Xu Guangqi didn't say anything, just waved his hand and said, "Come with me."

After finishing speaking, he led the dozen or so people to the outside of the hall.

The interior of the College of Arts and Sciences is arranged like a school. The main hall is just a place where everyone gathers, which is equivalent to a place for lectures, and there are many special classes in other places.

Then came Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing and Sun Yuanhua.

They all ordered more than ten students and left without saying a word.

Those who were clicked by them were naturally too excited, and the rest who were not clicked were a little anxious.

Five adults in a row failed to point them out, which was too urgent.

What if there is no adult in the back who takes a fancy to them?

Unexpectedly, after Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang and others finished counting, no one came out from the small door behind the Nuan Pavilion to take roll!

what does this mean?
All the students couldn't help showing anxious expressions on their faces.

Taichang glanced around slowly again, and then smiled slightly: "Okay, just listen to the rest here, and Master Bi Zisubi will teach you next time, and I won't occupy this seat."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked towards Your Excellency Nuan.

Seeing this, a group of students quickly got down on the ground and got up and shouted: "Respectfully send the emperor off."

Soon, Bi Zisu hurried up to the Nuan Pavilion with a book in hand, sat down carefully, and said loudly, "Okay, everyone get up."

Uh, this, Emperor Xie seems to be exempted, and the emperor is not sitting in the warm pavilion.

All the students got up inexplicably.

Bi Zisu immediately said loudly: "My official, Bi Zisu, the Zuodu censor of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, today I want to tell you about the new policies of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

The Zuodu Yushi of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate actually came to the capital!
All the students were shocked.

However, what Bi Zisu said next about the Metropolitan Procuratorate's New Deal deeply attracted them.

This new policy is actually specially designed to punish corrupt officials, and the supervision measures of the new policy are very strict. It is almost impossible for local corrupt officials to escape the supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

OK!

Although the group of students didn't applaud loudly, they were already overwhelmed with excitement.

Because they all know that once the New Deal is implemented, corrupt officials will have nowhere to hide.

And the reason why the Ming Dynasty declined day by day had a lot to do with the messing around of these corrupt officials.

In other words, as long as the New Deal starts to be implemented, there will be fewer and fewer corrupt officials, and the Ming Dynasty will become stronger and stronger day by day!
These students have lived on this Qionghua Island for the past few days, and every day, the chief officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will give lectures to them.

On the first day, Bi Zisu, Zuodu Censor of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, spoke about the new policies of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The next day was Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing, who introduced the new business policy.

On the third day, Lu Xiangsheng, Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, talked about serving the country with loyalty.
