Chapter 1091 Reforming the Imperial Examination ([-])

On the second day of July in the first year of Renhe, the trial operation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tianlu Road and the official opening ceremony of the Daqing Railway Company were held near Fengtai, a suburb of Beijing. Officials from the first rank and above arrived in Tianjin from the capital by special train, and met the new governor of Zhili, Liu Chengen, and officers above the major general of the navy and army, but did not stay in the Tianjin Palace, but returned to the capital by special train in the afternoon. Vol welcome.

Early the next morning, the "Beijing Times" introduced in detail the function of the railway and its importance to the Daqing community in a large chapter. So far, the Daqing Railway Company has become famous all over the world before it is officially in operation. The Daqing Railway Company announced the operation rules of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway and the rough plan for the subsequent railway development, which soon set off a railway craze across the country. The rich people in all provinces are also keenly aware of business opportunities, and for this reason, countless people have come to the Daqing Railway Company to talk about it.

The deepening and reforming of military affairs is progressing smoothly, and the construction of the three major intelligence bureaus is also in full swing. Busy from morning to night, but Hong Qing is happy, never slack in the slightest, no, this morning, just after breakfast, Hong Qing has already rushed to the nursery in a soft chariot Xin Dian was about to start the day's daily work. He had just sat down, and before he even had time to take a sip of tea, Li Dequan rushed to report, saying that Ma Qi and Fang Bao came to see him together.

"Xuan."

Hearing that Ma Qi and Fang Bao had arrived together, Hong Qing frowned unconsciously, nothing else, the several military ministers appointed by Hong Qing had their own assigned tasks, and there must be a big mistake. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for two rotating military ministers to come to report the matter together. Now, since the two are here together, it means that something important will happen, which inevitably makes Hong Qing feel quite guilty. Muttering, but what, without the slightest hesitation, he said in a calm voice.

"twitter!"

After Hongqing opened his golden mouth, Li Dequan dared not delay, he hurriedly responded respectfully, and hurriedly exited the hall, after a short while, he accompanied Ma and Fang back from outside the hall.

"What's the matter, tell me, I'm listening."

After a ceremony, Ma and Fang were not in a hurry to report the matter. Seeing this, Hong Qing frowned unavoidably, and asked a question with a hint of displeasure.

"Qizou Your Majesty, General Fengtian and Nasu sent an urgent letter saying that Prince Yunyu died of illness in the mansion the day before yesterday. General Fengtian didn't know how to bury him, so he urgently reported it to the imperial court, and please give instructions from His Majesty."

When Hong Qing spoke like this, Ma Qi didn't dare to keep silent anymore, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

Um?actually died?

When she heard that Ba Ye was dead, Hong Qing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then a wave of unknown emotions suddenly surged in her heart, and she was silent for a long time, never opening her mouth to speak, and the matter involved a secret of the Tian family. However, Ma and Fang didn't dare to say anything at this moment, so they could only stand silently with their hands down, waiting respectfully for Hong Qing's instructions.

"Bury it as soon as possible, and follow Baylor's rules. I will spare the crimes of my sons and return to Beijing to live."

Having struggled bitterly with Ba Ye for more than [-] years, it is true that there is some hatred, but speaking of it, it is just a necessity of Tianjia politics. In fact, Hong Qing doesn't really hate Ba Ye. If the master hadn't died, Hong Qing would not have let him out of the mountain. Now that he died of illness, Hong Qing would be happy to give him a little bit of mourning, which can be regarded as a kind of respect for his old opponent.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Seeing that Hong Qing had already opened his golden mouth, Ma and Fang both heaved a sigh of relief, of course they would not have any objection on this matter, and hurriedly praised them together.

"Is there anything else? Let's just come out once, I can't bear to guess charades."

Although Ma and Fang were full of compliments, they did not leave just then, but stood in front of the imperial court, as if they still had something difficult to report, seeing this, Hong Qing frowned immediately, With a slightly cold voice, he urged.

"Your Majesty, there are indeed two things. One is that Li Minquan, Minister of Military Aircraft, who has been ill for a long time, asked to beg for his bones to return home. Now this chapter is here. Your Majesty, please read it."

Seeing the impatient look on Hong Qing's face, the two dared not delay any longer. This time, Fang Bao took a step forward and took out the copybook from his wide sleeve with shaking hands, and held it high with both hands. overhead.

Hey, is this old thing trying to slip?How can there be such a cheap thing!

As soon as Li Minquan wanted to retire and return to his hometown, Hong Qing's eyes immediately flashed a gleam of brilliance, nothing else, Li Minquan had set up a lot of conspiracies and tricks at the beginning, and desperately wanted to put Hong Qing to death, and when Hong Qing came to the throne , this old boy tactfully said that he was sick and hid at home, but Hongqing did not forget the blood feud that this guy had framed several times, the reason why he never dealt with him was just because he was busy with government affairs and couldn't spare for the time being. , Now, it actually wants to retreat completely, how is this possible!

"Your Majesty, Mr. Li is an important minister of the previous dynasty. When the late emperor was in Japan, whenever he relied on him, he begged for bones. The old minister thought it seemed inevitable."

Seeing that Hong Qing was speechless for a while, neither allowed to play, nor let the eunuchs hand over the notebook, Fang Bao guessed the murderous intention in Hong Qing's heart, but obviously didn't take it seriously, so he sincerely advised One sentence.

"Hand it up."

Hong Qing didn't comment on Fang Bao's advice, but just ordered quietly.

"twitter!"

Hearing Hongqing's order, Li Dequan, who was waiting by the side, didn't dare to delay a little, so he hurriedly responded respectfully, trotted forward, took the folder in Fang Bao's hand, and handed it to Hongqing respectfully. On the dragon case in front of Qing.

"I know about this matter, let's discuss it later, Mr. Linggao, let's talk about the second matter first."

Hong Qing naturally understood the hints in Fang Bao's words, what she said was nothing more than to show Hong Qing lenient to others, so as to calm the hearts of those courtiers who were on the side of Zhu Age back then, but in Hong Qing's heart it was obvious that He had other considerations and didn't intend to discuss this matter in detail, and he changed the subject in a calm tone without even looking through the notebook.

"Your Majesty, I have another memorial here, which was submitted by Wang Siqi, the censor of Jiangxi Province. It is related to the imperial examination. I dare not make any decisions. Please read it."

When Hongqing Jinkou opened his mouth like this, although Fang Bao was worried in his heart, he didn't dare to remonstrate, so he shook his hands and took out a copy from his wide sleeve, held it with both hands, and raised it high overhead.

Um?It's this guy again, it seems that Fourth Master really needs to clean up!

Hearing that it was Wang Siqi who wrote the book again, Hong Qing raised her eyebrows, and the anger in her heart rose up involuntarily. Wei ordered impatiently: "Hand it up."

"twitter!"

Hearing that Hong Qing's tone was not friendly, Li Dequan hurriedly responded cautiously, walked quickly to Fang Bao, took the thick copy, and presented it to Hong Qing respectfully.

Hmm, is it interesting? It seems that Fourth Master really worked hard this time.

Hong Qing ignored the probing gazes of Ma and Fang, picked up the brochure and read it carefully. After reading it, she was really fascinated. Nothing else, Wang Siqi's brochure contained, Although there is a suspicion of extremes, it basically hits on the drawbacks of the current imperial examinations, that is, most of today's scholars are "reading books, reading books by dead books", and the country selects scholars with one letter. Most of them are useless and sour Confucians, not to mention that they have no talent for managing the world, and even the basic conduct of the world is terrible. Letting such people govern the local area is undoubtedly a disaster for the people, let alone many Jinshi. Officials are full of benevolence and morality, and the articles are colorful, but in fact they are dirty villains, just like the corrupt Chen Wangxuan who was taken down a few days ago.

"What do you two lovers think of this deal?"

The reform of the imperial examination was something that Hongqing had wanted to do for a long time, but she was too late to do it. Nothing else, the martial arts examination is good. There are three major military academies. People who practice martial arts can be admitted to the military academies, and they can also obtain military officers. Naturally, it will not cause too much repercussions, but Wenju is different. It involves a wide range of aspects. If one is not careful, it will cause chaos in the world. Although Hong Qing has planned for a long time, she still He didn't dare to move lightly, originally he planned to slowly try to change the status quo after he won a great victory in the foreign war, but now that the fourth master's side was clamoring, Hong Qing really had the idea to follow the trend, it's just a matter of fact With a big body, as an emperor, Hong Qing didn't dare to express his opinion easily, and after reading the scriptures, he didn't comment on it. Instead, he calmly threw the question to Ma and Fang.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that one incident of the imperial examination will affect the whole body, so he can't be too cautious."

Ma and Fang thought that Hong Qing would be furious after reading the excerpt, but they didn't expect Hong Qing to have no expression at all. Unavoidably, they were all amazed by it, and after a quick exchange of glances, Ma Qi reminded them.

"Well, Ma Aiqing is very worried, and I am also thinking in the same way. This is good, let's discuss this matter this morning. Li Dequan, go and call Zhang Tingyu, Shen He, and Lang Erheng."

After Hong Qing frowned and thought about it, the enthusiasm for innovation in her heart still remained undiminished. Even though she knew the risk of this matter was not small, she didn't intend to just shelve it, so she murmured and gave the order, and Li Dequan respectfully As promised, he led the two young eunuchs, and hurried out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and went to summon all the military ministers without mentioning...
