Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 178 Examination Questions

After retiring from the court, Fan Jingwen immediately went to the emperor's imperial study.

He didn't dare to slack off the emperor's confession, otherwise his job would be lost.

After standing outside the imperial study for a while, Zhu Youjian and Ah Qing came to the imperial study, and Fan Jingwen hurried forward to salute:

"See Your Majesty."

"Excuse me, let's talk inside."

"obey"

After entering the imperial study, Zhu Youjian asked the little eunuch to move a stool for Fan Jingwen, and Fan Jingwen sat on the stool carefully.

Zhu Youjian sat down on the teacher's chair, Ah Qing immediately made him a cup of tea, and then stood behind Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian: "Fan Shangshu."

Fan Jingwen: "The humble minister is here."

Zhu Youjian: "I know why I want to meet you in the imperial study?"

Fan Jingwen: "My humble minister is dull, please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian nodded, signaling Fan Jingwen not to be so nervous, and then said:
"There are big problems in Ming Dynasty's scientific examination. It seems that it is time to reform."

Fan Jingwen was taken aback for a moment, thinking to himself:

"Your Majesty, why are you reforming again? Since defeating the bandits, you have been reforming every day. Some things of your ancestors are almost completely denied by you."

Although Fan Jingwen was slandering in his heart, he didn't dare to say a word, he could only respectfully listen to every word the emperor said, for fear of missing a word.

At this time in Daming, schools were well established, with schools in every province and county, and the highest management institution was Daming Guozijian.

It can be said that the vast majority of candidates in each scientific examination are the outstanding ones who stand out from schools in various places. It is not possible to take the imperial examination just by attending a private school for a few days.

Especially the eight-legged essay, if you want to be elected as an official, the eight-legged essay is a hurdle you must pass.

The biggest harm of stereotyped essays is that it corrupts the administration of officials and endangers the development of the whole society, and the law of scientific development is also harmed by it.

Seeing Fan Jingwen sitting on the stool with half of his butt, looking cautious, Zhu Youjian secretly laughed, and continued:

"The first step in the reform of the imperial examinations is to abolish stereotyped essays. There is no room for negotiation on this, and the Ministry of Rites must strictly implement it.

The textbooks used in the future will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites. This year is too late, and it will be implemented from next year. The part of history must be added.

I want scholars in Ming Dynasty to understand history. I want scholars to know the harm that foreign races have done to China for thousands of years. I want scholars to know what kind of officials are the talents that my Ming Dynasty needs. "

"thump…"

Although Fan Jingwen had already made some mental preparations, when Zhu Youjian announced the reform plan, he still fell off the stool and sat down on the ground.

But his reaction was not slow, and he immediately turned over and knelt in front of Zhu Youjian, pleading guilty repeatedly:
"My minister lost his composure, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Seeing this loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty whose whole family committed suicide after the death of Emperor Chongzhen was so frightened by his words, Zhu Youjian got up and helped Fan Jingwen.

"Aiqing, don't be so panicked. With my support, you just do what you want."

Being supported by the emperor himself, Fan Jingwen was a little flattered, and hastily bowed again:

"Wei Chen obeys."

Zhu Youjian turned around and walked to the table, picked up the calligraphy and wrote four big characters, and then handed it to Fan Jingwen, Minister of Rites.

"This is the subject of the scientific examination. They only need to write an article according to these four words. After the end, you will send me the test papers for the top twenty articles.

"obey"

Fan Jingwen agreed, and took the scientific examination question sheet. When he saw the words (loyalty, filial piety, integrity and shame), he was stunned again.

Zhu Youjian hated the civil official group in the late Ming Dynasty. The scientific examination was originally for the selection of officials for the country.

They must know what it means to be loyal to the country, what it means to be filial to their parents, what it means to be honest, and what it means to be disgraceful.

"Fan Aiqing, you should understand my intentions. If you want to be my Daming's parent officer, you must not only understand loyalty, filial piety and integrity, but also know what shame is.

Remember, before the exam starts, you can't divulge any information, I will let the candidates improvise, and I will give examples..."

"Ministry of obedience"

Let's talk about the princes.

In the Ming Dynasty, vassal kings could not enter the capital without being summoned, otherwise it would be a death penalty.

Therefore, even though they are the princes of the Ming Dynasty, many people have never been to the capital.

However, the emperor caused them a lot of losses this time, but he also restored their freedom, allowing them to travel to and from the capital at will.

The current capital, under the governance of Zhu Youjian, has not only restored the bustle of the past, but is even more prosperous than before.

The streets are full of traffic, people come and go, and the faces of the people are filled with happy and satisfied smiles.

The vassal king finally came to the capital, they are dudes, if they don't have fun and return to the fief, they are really not reconciled.

Walking on Jingshi Street, looking at the red flowers and willows in front of him, King Fu's eyes were dazzled.

Seeing Fu Wang's nympho look, the other feudal princes were secretly amused.

De Wang:

"Brother Wang, look, the capital is the capital, and the girls walking on the street are all beautiful."

King Gan:

"That's right, my fiefdom is in a remote area, and there are almost no beauties on the streets. Even if there are a few occasionally, they either have thick legs or round waists. How can they compare with the capital..."

Min Wang:

"Haha...Brother Wang, let me tell you how you are doing. You have too little experience. Southern beauties are called beauty. If you have the opportunity to go to the south of the Yangtze River, I will take you to have fun. You couldn't leave the fief before. Now the emperor has lifted the ban."

King of Yue:

"Brother Wang, I heard that the capital has opened several Yichun Towers. There are not only the family members of offending officials, but also Tartar women brought from outside the customs. How about we go and open our eyes..."

Nanwang:

"Okay, open your eyes, open your eyes, this king also wants to meet the beauties of other races..."

King Lu:

"What kind of alien beauty is a Tartar woman, not only short and thick, but also full of goat smell, this king is not uncommon..."

King Zhou, who had been silent all this time, retorted King Lu at this moment:
"Don't you know that the Tartar women who can be sent to Yichun Tower are not bad. I heard that all of them are big horses, and Chen Yuanyuan, the head of the Qinhuai Eight Beauties, is in Yichun Tower..."

"No way, brothers, you can do whatever you want, my little brother will go first."

A small vassal king living in the south of the Yangtze River, when he heard that Chen Yuanyuan was also in the Yichun Building, he immediately ran away...

The vassal kings, who were originally in a depressed mood, gradually relaxed at this time.

This is the current Daming vassals, their ancestors fought bloody for Daming.

But by their generation, almost all of them were abolished.

They don't care about anything but drinking and drinking all day long.

Even when Daming was about to perish, many of them remained indifferent.

There were a lot of them, and they brought a few family soldiers with them, so it was impossible for them all to gather in a certain family.

After a little discussion, the princes and soldiers divided into two groups to inquire about the location of the best Yichun Building in the capital.

Qianqing Palace

The white tiger reported to Zhu Youjian:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, none of those princes can make a fortune. They all went to Yichun Tower after going around the capital."

Zhu Youjian laughed when he heard this:
"Okay, I canceled the ban on vassal kings not being able to enter Beijing at will, just to let them spend money, and tell Liu Rushi that the rewards for greeting their beauties will be doubled..."
