Prince of Chaos

Chapter 541 The Shortcut to Zhongnan
Thousands of years of human history have long summed up a rule, that is, "interests are the important driving force to promote social progress"!
After mathematics was added to the imperial examination, although there are people who disdain it.

However, as a variant of the imperial examination, Enke is also a right path in life, and there will still be many people who are too straight to join the upsurge of mathematics learning.

After all, this is also a golden avenue of life, and there is no reason to abandon this righteous path just because I have memorized a few sage books.

Don't you see, when the ancient dynasties had no money, when the officials sold their officials, there would still be many people who had read sage books all their lives to donate their wealth to an official.

Scholars are willing to take the road of selling and buying officials to donate officials, which is so excessive and does not conform to Confucian values ​​at all.What's more, this is still Enke who has to take an exam.

Therefore, when Zhu Changluo's crown prince's first edict was issued, many down-and-out scholars who were struggling to get promoted in the imperial examination quietly searched for mathematics books that were usually not valued.

For a while, classic mathematics works such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "Zhoubi Suanjing" began to sell well, and there was a trend that Luoyang paper was expensive.

It can be seen that the enthusiasm of the ancients for the examination of civil servants is no less than that of today's people!

This situation, I do not know is sad or deplorable.

"Xuanzai, how can you encourage His Highness to gossip like this?"

After Wang Xijue got off duty, he walked together with Dong Qichang who was also on duty at the military plane.

Although these words sounded like a lesson, his tone no longer had the tone of admonishing the younger generation.

Dong Qichang was naturally half a step behind Wang Xijue, and the conversation between the two was more like a friendship between equals.

This may be the aura of the identity of the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Military Aircraft gave Dong Qichang confidence.

Dong Qichang listened to Wang Xijue's emotion, and he replied: "Yuanfu, Enke is a way for the students who have been studying hard for a long time to make progress, it is benevolence, and it is grace."

Wang Xijue sighed: "However, Enke tests Mathematics and Taixi, which is unprecedented. This is a bad rule."

Dong Qichang said meaningfully: "Yuan Fu, the rules are not for us as ministers to establish."

Wang Xijue also felt a slip of the tongue, and he immediately stopped talking about it.

After all, Enke's edict has been issued, and it is now known to the world.

At this time, if he does this after the fact, not only will it not help the matter, but it will also appear that he, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has no responsibility and no principles.

Wang Xijue laughed, and said, "Enke's time is so tight, can the Ministry of Rites arrange it in time?"

Wang Xijue changed the subject and began to care about the time of Enke.

According to Zhu Changluo's Enke edict, the Enke will be held at the turn of October this year.

Now there is only a little more than half a year before the holding power, and it is indeed quite nervous.

Dong Qichang said: "If it's too late, we have to step up the arrangements. This is the first major imperial examination after the Crown Prince Bingguo, and there is no room for sloppy."

When Wang Xijue heard what Dong Qichang said, he laughed and didn't speak.

In fact, the main reason why Wang Xijue did not use the right of the cabinet to reject the order in Enke was because he saw the crown prince's ambition.

If, at this time, he is still stubbornly confronting the crown prince, saying that the way of Confucius and Mencius is the foundation of the country, then he is really stupid in reading.

As an official who can reach his level, how many people believe that the way of Confucius and Mencius can govern the country?
What they believe in is politics, the law of the king, compromise and balance.

If they really count on the way of Confucius and Mencius to govern the country, then what is the difference between them and the pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes who can only talk empty words beside Emperor Jianwen-Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng?
Although, morally, they have been touting the loyalty, filial piety and righteousness of Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng, but in fact, they most despise this kind of rotten Confucian people who mislead the king and country, and talk about morality.

Moreover, and more importantly, the crown prince also explained in the imperial edict that the scholars recruited by Enke this time were given undergraduate backgrounds, and they were just Jinshi.

Such an operation is also acceptable to scholars who adhere to Confucian orthodoxy in the world.

After all, conversely, judging from the imperial edict, the imperial examinations for the eight classics and eight-legged essays are still the imperial examinations with the highest gold content.

And this Enke is not an opportunity for salty fish to turn around for many people who have been struggling for many years and have finally failed.
If so, at this time, I stood in front of the righteousness and stopped the crown prince from enke to pick up a scholar.

Not only will it hurt the Crown Prince's perception of him, but it will also offend a large number of depressed and down-and-out scholars in the world.

This group of people may not be very good at reading, but they are quite capable of spreading rumors and making troubles.

If you offend them, if you don't pay attention, you may become another Pan Mei who will be infamous for thousands of years.

Speaking of Pan Mei in the Northern Song Dynasty, she was really wronged, even more wronged than Dou E.

A famous general in the world, just because he didn't deal with Yang Ye, and after Yang Ye was defeated, captured and went on a hunger strike, he was smeared by various novels of later generations to become a representative of a treacherous official with deep scheming and bad intentions.

You must know that Pan Mei in the official history is a fierce man who was crowned king!
Therefore, Wang Xijue, who has already suffered a big loss, will never fall into the same pit again.

This time, he will stand firm with the vast number of disciples from poor families who have tried and failed repeatedly, and create opportunities for them!
Moreover, the most important thing is that this time, Enke made it clear that the crown prince was creating opportunities for the students of Xishan Third College to advance.

If you don't even have this kind of vision, then you should resign as soon as possible.

Enke this time was indeed as Wang Xijue had guessed.

It is prepared for the students of Xishan Academy, Xishan Institute of Technology, and Xishan Institute of Physics in Xishan Huangzhuang.

These people from the Xishan Third Hospital were either born as children of craftsmen, or they were originally from poor people in the Xishan area.

They have never experienced any orthodox Confucian education since they were young. Since Zhu Changluo founded Xishan Academy in Xishan Huangzhuang, they were lucky enough to enter the academy and learn the most knowledge. In addition to the craftsmanship they are interested in, that is mathematics. up.

Now, Zhu Changluo is organizing this Enke to improve the status of Xishan Third Hospital.

Make it a temple in the minds of people of insight who love natural science and industrial inventions all over the world!
Only in this way can Zhu Changluo use the new forces cultivated by the Xishan Third Academy to fight to the death with the traditional conservative literati and landlords!

Otherwise, he wants to change the world, unless he has to go through a century of humiliation that began in the late Qing Dynasty to awaken the awakening power of this ancient nation.

Otherwise, it would be so reckless to start a war with these deep-rooted and deeply rooted scholar-bureaucrats.Then his fate will definitely be the same as that of Emperor Sui Yang.

Therefore, Enke must be opened this time, and it must be opened eccentrically, openly, and openly, so that all those who have failed in the imperial examination road in the world choose Xishan Third Academy as the final shortcut to get promoted!
