Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 170 Continue to Dig Pit
It can be said that there is a lot of noise in the court at the moment. Regarding the matter of the imperial examination, it seems to have caused a storm of public opinion. Those civil servants are fighting with high spirits at the moment, and they are fighting hard.

Since it is an imperial examination, it is natural to follow the words of the sage.Those scholars from the northern regions did not mention their literary talents in general, and their papers were also poor in literature and science, and contained taboo words. Such a level could not be qualified as a Jinshi in the imperial court.

Although some people also proposed that the Northland be newly attached, the literary talents of the Northland scholars generally seem to be an acceptable thing.Guochao needs to win over the hearts of the people, it needs to give some hope to the students in the Northland, and it needs to make the style of study in the Northland prevail. This time the imperial examination is an opportunity.

Such remarks also aroused strong dissatisfaction among Liu Sanwu, Fang Xiaoru and others. Since it is an imperial examination, it naturally needs to be fair and just so that it can be worthy of the ten-year cold window of the scholars.

If you want to make the style of learning flourish in the North, it is natural that you need to open schools there and send great Confucianism and teachings there, instead of giving the scholars in the North some Jinshi quotas because of the cadastre, that is against the South. The injustice of scholars.

It's easy to say, but it's really too difficult to do. Zhu Xiongying also thinks it's not worth it.

Teaching and educating people has never been an easy task, nor can it be achieved immediately.If we start vigorously developing education now and see certain results ten years later, Zhu Xiongying can enjoy it secretly.

Although Daming's national power is growing day by day, it's just that Daming needs to spend a lot of money, and he doesn't have too many resources to invest in the bottomless pit of education.

The most important thing is to carry out education according to the current model, which is basically the Four Books and Five Classics, and those who are cultivated are all scholars who are traditional literati.Zhu Xiongying's limited resources must be devoted to "new learning", and he does not intend to cultivate a large number of "art students".

To be more realistic, although since the emergence of papermaking, the threshold for reading has been relatively lowered.It's just that it's not that easy to have a noble son from a poor family. There are naturally examples of winter vacation students getting ahead through reading, but nowadays gentry and official families have better resources.

Zhu Xiongying himself is suppressing the civil official group. If he cultivates some scholars now, it will be a loss-making business. He will definitely not do such a thing, and he will not be fooled by a civil official.

There were many quarrels and debates in the hall, and Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu seemed to be silent for the time being, just watching some things happening continuously.

Some civil servants are really worried about the country and the people, and some people want to gain the reputation of Shilin, or have some interests of their own, etc. Nowadays, the court is bustling with people, and it seems that everyone has their own ideas. motivation.

Liu Sanwu was sent out of Beijing and became a professor in Beiping Prefecture.From a nine-rank civil servant, he is in charge of education.To put it bluntly, Liu Sanwu seemed to have been completely abandoned and became the most injured person in this incident.

Fang Xiaoru was not much better either. He became an instructor, in charge of offering sacrifices to the Confucian Temple and educating the students.It's just that this is the instruction of Jian'an County, Jianning Prefecture, and there is almost no rank. The county magistrate is Fang Xiaoru's immediate boss.

Zhu Xiongying's determination was great, and Lao Zhu didn't show the slightest courtesy at this time.For these noisy scholars, for these civil servants in the court, those who deserved to be demoted and shut down, naturally some were dismissed from office.

The expressionless Zhu Xiongying looked at the security guard, and then smiled, "I'm really interesting as the No. [-] Scholar in Jiaxu Division. I'm originally from Zhejiang, so I dare to stand out at this time?" Zhu Xiongying was happy, but also a little annoyed, " After all, this person is young and energetic, he still needs to be rectified."

Zhang Xin, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, is still somewhat talented, at least he was born as a number one scholar, and he was just in his early years, so he is definitely a young talent.It's just that this guy also looks a little swollen, lacking some knocks.

I remembered something, this Zhang Xin can’t be killed yet, I have to save it for a while, “Wang Chengen, go to Chengyibo’s mansion and let Chengyibo enter the palace tomorrow.”

This matter has to be handed over to his little uncle, and Zhu Xiongying still trusts his little uncle Liu Cha.This is Liu Bowen's grandson, and this is also the natural banner and leader of the Eastern Zhejiang Civil Service Group.Although the leader, Liu Wei, has disappointed some civil officials with his performance in recent years, he still has some reputation and status.

Old Zhu cheerfully came, teasing Zhu Xiongying and said. "Ying'er, I'm afraid people will see through your careful thinking. Now some civil officials are making trouble, and some southern scholars are also making trouble. The Confucian mansion is dumb."

"This Wenzong can't do anything else, but he is very good at self-protection." Zhu Xiongying was also a little helpless, but then teased, "But this is normal. Many people in the Confucian Mansion have lost their spines long ago, and they just hide when they encounter problems. These people dare to confuse big things about right and wrong."

Seeing Zhu Xiongying deflated, Old Zhu smiled even more happily, "Those people's family business has been passed down for thousands of years. Apart from having a good ancestor, those people also have a lot of ghost ideas. Let's say, those people are afraid that they will continue to be like this forever." .”

Isn't that right, Yan Shenggong's line is definitely standing upright.Probably Zhang Tianshi's lineage can be roughly compared. One is a representative of Confucianism, and the other is a religious family. They are more powerful than any emperor. It doesn't matter who is the emperor, they have always been passed on.

Old Zhu didn't have bad taste anymore, he just asked curiously, "Those who should be demoted are also demoted, and those who should be punished are also punished. Tell us, what are you going to do next?"

"It's probably after the fall. It's okay to suppress it like this in the court. Some of the troublemakers will be dealt with, and the others will not be able to stir up trouble." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, still confident, "The Kong family didn't show up. But some other guys are doing a lot of little things these days."

Hearing what Zhu Xiongying said, Lao Zhu also laughed, "In these days, those scholars, civil servants, and even some nobles and clans are still in series, and everyone thinks that we are old and can't kill people. Already!"

Zhu Xiongying took care of everything and said, "Grandfather, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the grandson is doing these things. Although the grandson is a country, he can be regarded as a little prestige, but none of those people Convinced, you still want to wrestle with me."

Zhu Xiongying's fishing law enforcement is actually not particularly successful, but fortunately it is not a complete failure, which is barely acceptable.

The ones I want to catch the most are naturally the Kong family, but Yan Shenggong's family is smart.Even though there were some complaints from Shilin, there was no rumor from the Confucian mansion. Everyone seemed to be planning to be a coward, and absolutely didn't want to appear on the cusp of the storm, and didn't plan to raise their arms and call for Commander Shilin.

It is true that there are some disappointments, but Zhu Xiongying can also be regarded as some gains, even if it is just some small fish and shrimps, it is better than nothing.

Speaking of it, Zhu Xiongying is relatively easy to be satisfied, and he said proudly, "Grandfather, there were party disputes in the Song Dynasty. The new party, the old party, or the region, etc., those scholars are not thinking about governing the country, but just fighting for power and gain. , we have to give them some color and see."

This can definitely be regarded as talking about Lao Zhu's heart. He himself doesn't like scholars very much, or he doesn't trust them very much.Now we must strictly prevent party disputes. This is definitely what Lao Zhu thinks is very reasonable. This is something that must be done well.

In the final analysis, as long as he is good to Daming, Lao Zhu thinks he should do it.As for the feelings of the scholars, Lao Zhu has never particularly cared about the feelings of the scholars, what he cares about is only the country he conquered.

The grandfather and grandson began to discuss again. They are probably the nightmare of the scholars of Ming Dynasty. The thing that the grandfather and grandson like to do most is probably to continue to beat some scholars.

They really need scholars to govern the world, but when they see that there are so many scholars in Ming Dynasty who are starting to grow, and when they see that the civil official group has never given up on the impact and challenge of the imperial power, then naturally they will not be soft-hearted up.

This is not the first time they have cheated those scholars, nor is it the first time they have hit those scholars, and there will be a lot of things to do in the future.

For example, at this time Jin Yiwei and Dongchang continue to throw away some old backgrounds of scholars, or Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu are consciously embarrassing some officials, or it may be some officials who are in a group, and it is difficult for them to meet again. extremely difficult.

Jin Yiwei is just not as active as before, and Dongchang is not a vegetarian. These spy organizations have never let go of the surveillance of some civil and military officials.

"Grandfather, if you want to talk about it now, let's deal with these scholars first." Zhu Xiongying said with some unsatisfactory spirit, "Grandson is going to leave some civil and military officials in Yingtian Mansion, and there will also be some ministers and the like here." .”

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "This is the escort capital, and we will also leave a civil and military team here in the future?"

"No, that would be too wasteful." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "It's just that if we go to Beiping, sometimes it will be difficult to deal with the affairs in the south. Grandson plans to leave some princes in the clan mansion, the governor The government and the six ministers also keep some here."

There are two sets of teams, but Ying Tianfu's team is obviously sitting on the bench.Some of the civil and military here, except for a very few who are real confidantes and take on heavy responsibilities, the rest are basically idle and can only do odd jobs.

Lao Zhu was a little noncommittal, and he also knew that it was not convenient to pass on news nowadays.He felt it was a bit wasteful to just leave a team in Yingtian Mansion.

This can be considered to be more characteristic of Old Zhu, he wished to squeeze out all the civil and military skills, and not give those people any free time.But Lao Zhu also understands that there are some things that he really can't take care of!
