At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 508
Zhu Qizhen saw that the faces of the two were unfriendly, so he asked: "The two Qings think something is wrong?"

Cao Nai had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Back to the emperor, Enke has always been a national celebration, or a happy event in the court, but now it seems...inappropriate..."

Zhang Yi then said: "Next year will be the three-year regular examination, the emperor might as well wait for the first class..."

Zhu Qizhen raised his hand, signaling that the two of them don't need to talk any more.

"Since the New Deal, the reform of the imperial examination has been going on, and I think it's time!"

When Cao Nai and Zhang Yi heard this, they felt a cool breeze blowing down their spines.

It has been three years since the imperial examination system was reformed, and the specific measure is to add an annual science examination.

Although many students have given up the Four Books and Five Classics and switched to natural sciences, it is not easy to take this path. Even if they can stand out, most of them start from the lowest level officials in various local government offices. In a short period of time, stereotyped writing cannot be shaken at all. Take the foundation of scholars.

The emperor said it is time now, what does it mean?
Is it possible to completely abolish stereotyped selection...

In the past, who dared to say that the imperial examinations and stereotyped writing were abolished, others would just take it as a joke.

With the great changes in the emperor's situation and complete loss of trust in the civil society, it is not impossible to fundamentally destroy the imperial examinations if a decree is made now.

Zhu Qizhen said with a cold face, "Not only will the Enke be given, but also, from now on, the imperial examination will be changed to once a year, and the content of the examination will also change. This matter..."

Having said that, he paused for a while, staring closely at Cao Nai and Zhang Yi.

"...I have decided not to bother the cabinet, and leave the full power to the Academy of Sciences!"

The faces of Cao and Zhang suddenly turned dark. For such a big matter, they skipped the cabinet directly.

For the emperor, the imperial examination is the way to obtain a scholar.

However, for the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty, what was the imperial examination?
It is their root, the root of the entire gentry of the Ming Dynasty!

Wenchen Group wants to become bigger and stronger, and the only way to succeed is the imperial examination. This thing sounds fair and just, but in fact, there are many ways in it!
To put it simply, there are at least [-] ways for who the examiner wants to pass and who he does not want to pass!

Such as agreeing with students, leaking questions and leaking questions, selling words, changing papers, cutting papers...

Rules are dead, people are alive, and there are countless methods of cheating in the imperial examinations. The final result is that teachers pave the way for students, and students work for teachers. In the end, they still form cliques.

Therefore, whoever dares to start with the imperial examination is equivalent to fighting against the gentry all over the world.

At the beginning, the emperor wanted to change the system, but he only added the regular examinations of natural sciences, and did not shake the foundation of the stereotyped selection of scholars, so he was worried about this, but everything has changed now...

"Your Majesty, please think twice..."

"That's it. If the two Qing families have nothing else to do, let's go down first!"

After Zhu Qizhen finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Tuotuobuhua, and a thought flashed in his mind.

"Go back and tell your clansmen that all the people of our Ming Dynasty, regardless of high or low, whether Mongolian or Han, are treated equally in front of me, and everyone can sign up for reference!"

Tuotuo Buhua was very surprised, then scratched his head, and said: "Your Majesty, you are joking, our people can't even learn Chinese characters, what test do we take?"

"If you don't know it, you can learn it. When you gain a firm foothold on the Yenisei River, I will teach you a school and send you a gentleman from the Academy of Sciences!"

Tuotuobuhua was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I thank the emperor for his kindness in advance!"

Zhu Qizhen continued: "From now on, martial arts will be added to the imperial examination, which will test physical fitness, fist and kick, riding and archery, military deduction, etc. Your people can prepare now!"

"This, this...is it okay?"

The smile on Tuo Duo Bu Hua's face froze, he seemed a little unbelievable, there is such a good thing in the world?
Originally, I thought that I would be satisfied if I could find a place to live.

Now the emperor not only agreed to send troops, provided weapons and equipment, but also added martial arts to the imperial examination, and asked his own clansmen to participate by name. He really didn't treat himself as an outsider!

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly and said, "Since they are all my subjects, why not?"

"Also, although it is a military test, you will be an official in the court in the future. If you don't know a big character, you will definitely not be able to do it. You can choose capable people now. I will add a school to you in the Academy of Sciences to teach the art of war. I want to pass the test. Good grades, you still need to work hard!"

Pfft!
Tuotuo Buhua knelt down directly, her eyes filled with tears.

"Your Majesty's great kindness, I can't repay you. As long as your Majesty has orders from now on, my Tatars will never frown. If you violate this oath, you will be punished by the Longevity Heaven!"

Cao Nai and Zhang Yi stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. In order to squeeze out the power of the original civil servants, the emperor even gave favors to the Tatars.

If the new imperial examination is implemented, how can we still mess around in the future?

Just imagine, there are officials in the dynasty, there are those who learn arithmetic, those who control water, those who build ships, those who farm, and there are five big and three rough Mongolian men who specialize in riding horses and fighting...

What is this all about?

If the dynasty is not in the dynasty, the country is not in the country!

Zhu Qizhen raised his head, with an unquestionable look in his eyes, and asked, "What else is going on with the Qing family?"

Cao Nai struggled in his mind for a long time, and finally said: "Your Majesty, I feel that it is inappropriate to change the imperial examination without authorization, please think again!"

"What's wrong?"

"The imperial examination is the law of the ancestors, the foundation of the imperial court, how can it be easily changed?"

I had no choice but to move out the ancestral system.

Zhu Qizhen smiled contemptuously, and said: "In the ancestral system, officials embezzled 50 yuan of silver and stripped their skins for grass. Do you want to restore this?"

"Ah, this... the minister is leaving!"

Cao Nai was speechless for a moment, saluted hurriedly, turned around and ran away.

Zhang Yi didn't even dare to say anything, and followed him out.

"Duke Cao, look at this...what should I do?"

"Shiqian, can't you see it, your majesty... oh!"

Cao Nai shook his head repeatedly and sighed.

"Always think of a way. If this continues, where will I have a foothold?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Cao Naiyu said earnestly: "The last person who had this idea was Yang Dan, and I don't want to go down to accompany him."

"Do you want to watch those messy people walk up to the court, and those Mongols will be equal to me as officials in the future?"

"Of course I don't want to see this scene, but... so what?"

Cao Nai paused, and then said, "Shiqian, do you have any regrets?"

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What do you regret?"

"I regret that I didn't seize power with Yang Dan. If you succeed, you will be the chief minister of the cabinet now, and you can do whatever you want without discussing with the old man."

"Mr. Cao be careful!"

Zhang Yi looked around subconsciously, but fortunately there was no one around.

"Cao Gong, you want me to die!"

Cao Nai said sternly: "Since you don't want to die, you can do what the emperor says in the future, don't have other ideas!"
