Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

National Supervisor.

"Promoting the legislation and revision of the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" is undoubtedly correct in my eyes. We cannot blindly pursue the past. Can people in the past predict the great changes we are in today?"

"If you follow your rhetoric, the decisions made by people in the past were all wrong? Abandoning the past like you and blindly seeking new things, in my eyes, is a betrayal of the ancestors."

"Student, the matter we are discussing now is whether Daming should change or not. Is it the attitude of discussion if you go online like you?"

"That's right, we have never denied the past. There is a reason why Ming Dynasty has been able to claim the title of Shenzhou for more than two hundred years, but we can't always miss the past and ignore the period we are in, what kind of period it is. "

A large number of Guozijian tribute students gathered, divided into two camps, and argued against the current changes in the court, standing on their own ideology.

"It's nice to be young."

Emperor Chongzhen, who had changed into casual clothes, showed a slight smile when he saw the scene in front of him, "Looking at these Guozijian students in front of me, I feel very relieved.

They are Daming's wealth in the future, and what kind of changes Daming can make, in a sense, depends on how deep their understanding of this new era is. "

Yuan Keli, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi and other veteran officials who accompanied him on the visit showed different expressions when they saw the scene in front of them.

As Emperor Chongzhen implemented a series of new policies in the court, this also caused many changes in the Ming Dynasty, and ideological collisions like this were more common.

"Your Majesty, is it really good for the students of the Imperial College to comment on the government?"

Xu Guangqi hesitated, looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Since they are studying in the Imperial College, they should study more of the established courses. If they discuss state affairs like this and forget what they should stick to, then it is not good for Guochao." Not really a good thing.”

"Xu Yuanfu, I cannot approve of what you said."

Yuan Keli's back was a little stooped, and he looked at the crowd who were actively debating, "Students who can enter the Imperial College, no matter what level they choose to study, are the elite group of my Ming Dynasty.

Commenting on state affairs is an expression they must experience. After all, only in this way can they have a collision of ideas. This is what His Majesty has been emphasizing all the time.

Just like emerging disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., if you put it in the Ming Dynasty in the past, do you think it can appear?

In fact, commenting on state affairs is just an appearance, the most important thing is the collision of ideas, which is very important to my Ming Dynasty. "

Hearing the conversation between the two, Emperor Chongzhen didn't say much else.

Speaking of which, even though the suppression of the Jiangnan rebellion has not ended yet, it has already had a lot of influence on Daming.

Today, the number of students in the Imperial College alone has exceeded tens of thousands. This is still a group of people who passed the national examination and were awarded the ranks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The group that has been maintained until now.

The old order of the Jiangnan provinces was completely torn apart by Emperor Chongzhen's series of combined punches, and certain vested interest groups were dealt a heavy blow.

It is undeniable that the cultural and educational style of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River far exceeds that of the northern provinces, and the accumulation of education cannot be accumulated in a short period of time.

In order to expand the new ideas of Ming Dynasty to a corresponding scale, Emperor Chongzhen had to win over the students in Jiangnan and tell them to leave Jiangnan and other places and go to places where Ming Dynasty was emerging to undergo cleansing.

"Commenting on state affairs, even if the government expressly prohibits it, it can't stop the people talking." Emperor Chongzhen lifted the sleeves of his robe and looked at Xu Guangqi and the others.

"Since there is such a reality, let them express their opinions within an organized scope, and conduct corresponding debates on some policies of the state.

This is a good thing in my opinion.

There is a saying that it is better to block than to sparse.

Since this phenomenon exists, Guochao should treat it correctly instead of blindly suppressing it. If that is the case, what is the significance of the reforms promoted by Guochao? "

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, it is a good phenomenon that these students of Guozijian insisted on their own ideas through some debates.

The main theme of the current Ming Dynasty is to hold high the banner of reform and reform, and to constantly eradicate every malpractice and cancer.

It is doomed to have no good future for those groups who cling to old ideas.

But for those groups who are willing to accept new ideas, they can continuously improve their own ideological level in the process, so that they can go to local places to be honed, and then included in the talent echelon.

"Your Majesty is planning to build new schools in the northern provinces just to strengthen this collision of ideas?"

Sun Chengzong, who had been silent all this time, looked at Emperor Chongzhen at this time, "If this is the case, will the imperial examination system to be held in the future be changed accordingly?"

"That's what I think."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly and said: "The imperial examination system must be changed. It is too superficial to blindly use the form of stereotyped candidates to select so-called talents.

Since Daming is going through a new era, all aspects must undergo changes.

Let more people afford to read books, this is what I want to do all the time.

Education should not be exclusive to certain groups. This is unfair to more people. After all, the talents needed by Ming Dynasty should not be limited to a small category.

As for how to change the imperial examination system, it will take a certain amount of time to demonstrate that the reform is not to kill with a stick, but to eliminate bad things on the basis of the original. "

The imperial examination system had a great impact on China. After all, the inheritance cycle was too long. If Emperor Chongzhen dared to decree to abolish the imperial examination system, there would inevitably be a split.

Not to mention anything else, just the existing group of scholars, and even many officials, would be alienated from Daming.

After all, the only channel for them to be promoted is the imperial examination, not to mention the impact of this imperial examination is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Emperor Chongzhen knew better than anyone how difficult it would be to reform the imperial examination, but no matter how difficult it was, the reform of the imperial examination must be deepened.

Only by doing this well, can the banner of the Great Ming Reformation be continuously erected.

Looking at the crowd debating in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen showed a smile on his face, and the collision of ideas can often have a greater influence. In a sense, this is also accumulating power for the reform.
