I'm a big dick

Chapter 55 The Disadvantages of Ming Dynasty
This feels—a bit weird!

It doesn't seem to be a problem of six or ten dishes, but it seems that I can't get enough to eat all day long, and I am like a beggar.

Zhu Youxiao suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, gave a few words of encouragement, and sent Uncle Wei away.

I am the Supreme Being of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and I still need to use my brains to fight with you bunch of civil servants with dirty buttocks. What kind of intrigue is playing?
Zhu Youxiao sneered, got up and stretched his arms, and decided to end today's work.

"My lord, where will you rest tonight?" Wang Tiqian bowed and asked courteously, "I will send someone to inform the nobles so that they are ready to welcome you."

Only then did Zhu Youxiao remember that he has three daughters-in-law!In addition to Queen Zhang Yan, there are Concubine Wang Liang and Concubine Duan Chun who were brought into the palace together!
Rubbing his chin and thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao felt that Concubine Duan seemed more beautiful, so he ordered Wang Tigan to send someone to inform her that she would go to bed at Concubine Duan's place in Yonghe Palace tonight.

Although I can hit ten, it still takes a long time, so come one by one!
Zhu Youxiao yawned and drove away.It's another "bridal chamber wedding" night, it's so beautiful!
.....................

The Beijing Normal University in February has already revealed a slight sense of spring.

Today is another sunny day, giving people a refreshing and invigorating feeling.Especially the candidates of the Gongyuan, ushered in the last exam.

According to the usual practice, this third "policy question" is much simpler than the first two.Because the examiners pay more attention to the eight-legged essay in the first round, the quality of the policy questions does not account for a large proportion, and the meaning of the text is smooth, as long as you don’t digress.

But this year is quite different. Not only did the Holy Majesty ask the question "What are you capable of and what kind of official do you want to be", but the "policy question" was also given by the Holy Majesty himself, which is of extraordinary significance.

Since the emperor personally asked the questions, the examiners naturally couldn't take them lightly, and some excellent examination papers would even be presented to the imperial examination.

It is not easy for the emperor to be appreciated and reused if he writes to please the emperor; if the emperor is not satisfied, no matter how good the stereotyped essay is, he may be in danger of losing his reputation.

Therefore, all the candidates are full of energy, waiting with anticipation and some anxiety for the "policy question" examination paper to be issued.

In the courtroom, chief examiner Yuan Keli and deputy chief examiner Xu Guangqi looked at each other with complicated expressions, and a roll of yellow silk was on the table.

After a long while, Yuan Keli smiled wryly and said: "The Holy One has made up his mind, I see, let's post the question!"

Xu Guangqi also judged in the same way. He came to submit the questions last night, and there was something wrong with the exam today, and there was no time to change it.

What's more, the tribute courtyard is locked, they can't go in and out, and they can't even go to the court to persuade them.

On the unfolded yellow silk, there is a paragraph of text impressively written, which is exactly the information given by "Cewen".According to later generations, it is to give you a piece of material, draw up a topic by yourself, and write an argumentative essay.

"Today's Ming Dynasty has many evils. One is the fact that the party fights against the country, government orders are ineffective, and the efficiency is low; the second is that the army is abolished and military equipment is not repaired; the third is that the finances are declining, and the treasury is unable to make ends meet; the fourth is that the powerful officials are shameless, and embezzlement and corruption are prevalent... "

To tear off Daming's fig leaf is merciless.But the person who did this was none other than the supreme ruler of Ming Dynasty—the emperor.

Although officials including the Donglin Party, as well as people in opposition, often satirize the government and criticize officials, demand honesty and honesty, revitalize the administration of officials, get rid of the evils of the government and the opposition, and oppose the rich and powerful...

But it is really rare for the young emperor to expose the scars so unceremoniously, so that the blood is dripping.

Moreover, in his capacity as the emperor, he personally designated the first of the long-standing evils of the Ming Dynasty as "party struggles that harm the country", which is tantamount to sending out an extremely disturbing signal.

The party struggle started from the Wanli Dynasty, Donglin, Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, Xuan, Kun and other factions stood up everywhere, and everyone was vying for it. This is a fact that everyone knows.

But linking it with harming the country and ranking it first among the disadvantages of Ming Dynasty is not a small hat.

Judging from the attitude of the emperor in the party struggle, he usually watched with a cold eye, grasped the balance, and would not directly intervene in it.

Yuan Keli didn't know how the young emperor would intervene, whether to support one faction and suppress the other, or to hold the imperial power in his hands and set off a turbulent wave.

He hesitated for a while, sighed helplessly, and said, "After the examination, I will be invited to meet the Holy Majesty. Chaos in the court is not a blessing for the country."

Xu Guangqi blinked his eyes and said: "The Holy One is young, and he may be a little worried, but he is also eager to seek medical treatment and to revive the country."

Compared with Yuan Keli's worries, Xu Guangqi is much worse.

As a "heretic" in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, this group of "gentlemen" who form cliques for personal gain and criticize dissidents have given him a lot of trouble.

The Holy Majesty wants to revive the government and eliminate party disputes, which is very good!It's a little bit of a hurry, young people, it's understandable.

Yuan Keli glanced at "Paul Xu", smiled wryly and shook his head, not arguing with this guy who believed in God, and ordered someone to send out the test questions.

Xu Guangqi didn't take it seriously, sat upright and began to mark the test papers.He mainly reads the ancient version of the "job resume", stereotyped articles and so on, and let others approve it.

The Holy Majesty's trick is very clever. It seems that there has been no major reform of the imperial examinations, but the standards for selecting talents have undergone unknown changes.

Look at this move, it's actually good at water conservancy, even if it's stereotyped, the scriptures are bullshit, the holy majesty will admit it, right?
Um, um, this move is even more talented. He has read "The Spectrum of Artifacts", likes making weapons, and even complained about the three-eyed blunderbuss.

This guy is bullshit, what is his specialty? You say you are jealous of evil and upright.

Co-authoring your major is a troll, who knows nothing but a mouth.

Xu Guangqi curled his lips and threw the paper aside.

In the examination room, the test questions were announced, which unsurprisingly aroused the astonishment and commotion of the candidates.Fortunately, they are all small private rooms. What kind of expression, what kind of shock, is also my own business, no one will look at you.

Partisan struggle harms the country? !
This conclusion is actually not new. Yin Jian is not far away, and the demise of the Song Dynasty can be used as a lesson.

Therefore, in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, they were highly vigilant about cronies and punished them severely.

Zhu Baba clearly stipulated in the "Law of the Ming Dynasty": "Officials in the court who make friends with cliques and disrupt the government will be beheaded, their wives and children will be slaves, and their property will be transferred to the officials; Those who make acquaintances, leak things, cheat by fate and get acquainted with each other will be beheaded, and their wives and sons will be lost for three thousand miles."

In order to avoid cliques, the imperial court also strictly managed the officials. In addition to the supervision of officials, eunuchs were also strengthened to intervene in politics, so that the bureaucratic system and the internal official system mutually restricted each other.

In addition, there is no prime minister to avoid monopoly power; Taiwanese admonishers can hear rumors and strengthen supervision; supervisors have low ranks, but they are given heavy powers to instigate officials to fight each other...

But no matter how good the regulations are, the feudal system will gradually become abolished.There is no way, the flaws in the system, the flaws in the emperor, and various factors combined together caused the disordered party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty.
