"Let more people learn knowledge and make it easier for people from all over the world to communicate. How can there be any talk of disrupting the Chinese cultural heritage or destroying the reputation of scholars?!"
"This is obviously to carry forward the Chinese cultural heritage, so that everyone in the world has the knowledge of scholars and knows etiquette and principles. How can it ruin the reputation of Qing Dynasty?!"
Tang Aiming asked loudly.
"We said yes! It was him. He beat us. The man who framed Zhao Sheng and Wu Sheng before, causing Zhao Sheng to be executed and Wu Sheng to guard the border, was also named Tang Aiming. It must be him!"
Maoxiang replied loudly at this time, and pointed at Tang Aiming and said loudly.
Wu Yingqi, the Imperial College Health Officer, was quite impulsive, so he took off his boots and threw them at Tang Aiming: "We have more people, kill these eunuchs and lackeys! Take revenge!"
There are indeed more people here in the Imperial College. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, there are many gentry children studying in the world. Now there are more than 3,000 people here.
As a result, many students from the Imperial College rushed towards the people from the Royal Academy.
Seeing this, Zhu Yihai couldn't help but roll up his sleeves: "Damn it, it depends on the crowd, right?!"
With that said, Zhu Yihai shouted: "Hit!" and then took the lead in rushing towards the scholars on the Imperial College side.
Then, not to be outdone, other scholars from the Royal Academy also rushed over.
For a while, the two sides started fighting like this, and it turned from a civil fight into a large-scale armed fight.
But although there are few people here at the Royal Academy, they all have practiced boxing, and everyone can fight several times.
Therefore, although there are many people in the Imperial College, these weak scholars cannot defeat them.
"Ouch!"
Wu Yingqi touched his crotch and curled up on the ground and started to ouch.
On the other side, Maoxiang's leg was directly broken this time.
Zhang Bishi's eyes were not only injured this time, but two of his ribs were broken by the kick.
These weak men were beaten to pieces with their arms and legs broken. Those who came from behind did not dare to fight anymore when they saw so many people fell on their side, and ran out one after another.
But it didn't take long for these weak scholars to run away, and they were beaten up by the scholars from the Royal Academy who caught up.
"It's wrong to hit someone!"
"You Royal Academy people are too violent!"
…
Lu Xiangsheng, who happened to be passing by this place, could not help but become cold when he saw this.
He had to admit that these gentry children in the Imperial Academy were too weak. More than 3,000 people were beaten to a pulp by the scholars from the Royal Academy.
But Lu Xiangsheng also knew that this was normal.
After all, most of the children in his noble family are industrious people. They usually find it tiring to walk even a few steps. They either take a sedan chair or a sliding pole when going out. How can they fight against martial arts fighters? They have practiced martial arts since they entered school, and even As a compulsory subject for students of the Royal Academy.
…
"When our people from the East Factory went, the riot had already ended. A large number of scholars had their arms and legs broken, and fell to the ground screaming in agony. Almost all of them were scholars from the Imperial College!"
Here Wei Zhongxian reported to Zhu Youxiao about the riots by scholars outside the academic department's yamen.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "It seems that the scholars of this Imperial College are really weak, which shows how failed the previous education was."
"Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng, the right minister of the Ministry of War and deputy envoy to the privy council, has made a request to the imperial court to reform the imperial examination system, add archery assessment to the academic examination, provincial examination and general examination, and test the literary and martial arts in front of ministers who are good at martial arts, because now the corporal scholar He is really too weak in terms of martial arts, and if this continues, it will be detrimental to the country and the nation."
It happened that at this time, Chief Assistant Yuan Keli reported something to Zhu Youxiao.
It turned out that after Lu Xiangsheng witnessed the riots among the scholars outside the academic office, coupled with the effeminate atmosphere prevalent among the scholars in the south that he had seen before joining the Guards, he suddenly decided to propose reforms to the imperial court's selection of talents. Let’s strengthen the assessment of archery among the Six Arts of the Gentleman.
To shoot is to shoot an arrow.
Yu is the skill of riding.
Lu Xiangsheng had to admit that today's corporals no longer pay attention to the training of these two items.
And this has something to do with the fact that the court doesn't pay much attention to it.
After listening to Lu Xiangsheng's memorial, Zhu Youxiao also agreed very much and said: "The draft is accurate to what he played. As far as I know, in ancient times, Confucian scholars were capable of literary and military skills. Ruling the people, marching across the world with swords, there are even those who dare to ask for a tassel to go to the enemy camp alone to surrender, and there are even those who only lead dozens of people to destroy a country, but now we in the Ming Dynasty do not see many such Confucian scholars, can we say that our Ming Dynasty Confucian scholars can no longer become versatile in both civil and military affairs?"
With that said, Zhu Youxiao said: "It is February of the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse. Next year happens to be the year of the imperial examination. Starting from next year's imperial examination and palace examination, all candidates who participate in the imperial examination must first undergo a round of martial arts. The test first tests physical fitness and archery. Those who fail to meet the standards do not mean to give up directly. They can still take the literary test, but those who pass the exam need to be classified into a separate category. They are regarded as Ming Jing subjects and will no longer enter the Jinshi subjects. In the future, they can only hold official positions in non-military and internal affairs yamen such as compilation of literature and history, teaching and educating people, agricultural and medical skills, and money and grain management. Only those who pass the martial arts examination and the general examination can be admitted to the Jinshi Department, and are eligible to participate in the Hanlin Academy's Shuji Scholarship examination, and serve as the core talent reserve of the future empire."
"That is to say, from now on, all liberal arts and civil service examinations will have martial arts examinations, not only the general examinations, but also the palace examinations, the provincial examinations, the academy examinations, even the county examinations, government examinations, and scientific examinations. This will require one more academic officer. There can't be only civil servants who recommend academics, there must be a military officer who promotes academics. Otherwise, how will the examination be done? The Privy Council is ordered to select outstanding military officers from the third and lower grades to the fifth and above in Beijing to serve as local deputy inspectors, supervise academic affairs, and select academics. Let Lu Xiangsheng be responsible for the political attache matter."
So far.
Zhu Youxiao finally took action on the imperial examination system.
And all this is because the time has come.
Since Zhu Youxiao encouraged scholars to enter the army through the martial arts lecture hall, the situation of indistinguishability between civil and military officials has become increasingly obvious.
As a result, many scholars who joined the military camp were no longer so disgusted with martial arts.
Especially after these scholars who joined the warrior camp became new nobles, their positions also changed, and they even hoped to allow these warriors to participate in more political affairs.
Therefore, it was under this background that Lu Xiangsheng thought of strengthening the martial arts training of the scholars because of their poor combat effectiveness.
And now there is a relatively large talent pool with both civil and military skills.
After all, the martial arts hall has been established for many years.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao is now reforming the imperial examination system. The liberal arts examination must also pass the physical examination and the archery examination, and he can also have enough civil and military talents to carry out this matter.
"Ouch! These bastards from the Royal Academy are not scholars at all, they are all so barbaric!"
Maoxiang, whose whole body was covered with gauze, screamed and cursed the other Imperial Academy scholars at the same time.
"That's right! These eunuchs and lackeys are not very knowledgeable, but their behavior is very rude, which is really insulting to gentleness!"
Zhang Biming echoed.
At this time, Wu Zhongqi, a scholar of the Imperial Academy who was lucky enough to have a temporary visit to relatives and friends and did not go to the Yamen of the Academy to cause trouble with other scholars of the Imperial Academy, came to the hospital where Maoxiang and others were recuperating and said:
"Have you heard? There was an edict just now, saying that the martial arts test will be added to the liberal arts examination. Next year's examination will require physical fitness and archery. As for physical fitness, I don't know what tests are being tested, but archery is undoubtedly the test. Those who are said to be unqualified in horsemanship and horsemanship, even if they do not enter the Jinshi Department in the Literary Examination, but enter the newly established Mingjing Department, those admitted to the Mingjing Department in the future will not be able to serve in the Political Hall, Cabinet, or Privy Council. , all ministries and monasteries, as well as all the chief secretaries, prefecture and county officials!"
"What? Isn't this a great disservice to our southern scholars? Who doesn't know that most of our southern scholars are not good at riding and shooting. This must be a bad idea from some northern minister!"
Maoxiang immediately couldn't hold it back and started shouting angrily. Then he couldn't help but cover his face which hurt from talking too excitedly.
"It was Privy Lu Jin's words. It didn't take long for the Holy One to approve his memorial."
Wu Zhongqi said.
"Lu Jiandou?!"
"What is he trying to do? He is willing to humble himself, enter the martial arts hall, and join the ranks of military ministers. Now he wants to ruin the fortune of our southern scholars. He is also a southerner. How can he make such a suggestion? He is not afraid. Are you being stabbed in the spine by Xiangzi? Ah!"
Zhang Biming also shouted excitedly. He wanted to stand up and yelled at Lu Xiangsheng, but he suddenly pulled the bone that had just been connected. He grinned in pain and couldn't help but said: "And those bastards from the Royal Academy! These people , each one is more hateful than the other!"
"Actually, I think this is quite good. Archeology is one of the six arts of a gentleman. The imperial court pays more attention to it now because it makes the talent selection system more reasonable and objective."
Bu Zhaolin, a scholar from the north, suddenly said something at this time, and suddenly bowed sincerely in the direction of the Forbidden City: "The Holy One is wise!"
Maoxiang, Zhang Biming, Wu Zhongqi and other southern scholars all looked at Bu Zhonglin in shock.
you sure?
You usually secretly ridicule the emperor for being stupid!
"It is indeed quite reasonable. Mr. Lu's suggestion this time can correct the shortcomings in talent selection in the country and benefit the country!"
Northern scholar Li Anguo also echoed.
"That's right, I have long said that Sheyu cannot be abolished, but you southern scholars don't believe it."
Gu Zhongjian, a northern scholar, also echoed.
"What do you mean! Sheyu cannot be abolished. In the south, we mostly rely on ships for transportation. Naturally, we cannot ride horses as often as you northern scholars do. Now, the purpose of mentioning Sheyu is to suppress the southern scholars!"
Maoxiang asked.
"It's not me, the northern minister, who made the suggestion, so why should I suppress you southern scholars!"
Bu Zhaolin replied.
Maoxiang didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only blow his beard and stare.
Lu Xiangsheng, on his side, successively selected military attachés who were worthy of serving as Chief Secretary, and handed the preliminary list to Zhu Youxiao, saying:
"Your Majesty, these people are all the first three students of the Guards and Brave Guards who graduated from the Ming Dynasty Lecture Hall. They all have great military achievements and are capable of literature and martial arts. However, their physical fitness has declined due to injuries, and they have become more painful. I am no longer fit to join the army, so I have just been transferred to the position of academic officer to teach the martial arts of the world's scholars."
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "After handing it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, we will appoint them immediately, let them take office early, and urgently train the scholars from all over the country, lest there will be no all-round civil and military talents. By the way, are there any officials in the Northern and Southern Imperial Colleges?" The tribute supervisors who will take part in the North and South Zhili Township Examinations and the judiciary supervisors who will take part in the joint examinations also need a military minister to discipline their martial arts to help them in the exams and cultivate all-round talents for the court!"
"yes!"
Lu Xiangsheng replied.
In the end, in addition to recommending other military ministers to serve as academic officials, Lu Xiangsheng recommended Mao Wenlong as the sacrificial wine minister of the Imperial College in Beijing, and jointly managed the Imperial College of Beijing with Luo Yuyi, the current imperial wine minister of the Imperial Academy.
And the move of Emperor Qi of the Great Tomorrow can be regarded as the beginning of a military minister and a scribe.
You know, after Tumubao, there has never been a military official with civil functions, that is, the military official is allowed to do what a civil official does, and even manages the civil officials and scholars.
It had appeared before Tumu Fort.
For example, in the early Ming Dynasty when there was still Zhongshu Province, Xu Dayijie, a martial artist, served as prime minister and was in charge of civil affairs, which prevented the civil servants of Zhongshu Province from uniting.
After Tumubao, only civilian officials were in charge of military ministers and civilian officials were in charge of the army. There was no situation where military officials were in charge of civil affairs.
But Zhu Youxiao wanted to do this to make the Ming Dynasty civil and military.
However, the civil servants were naturally unwilling to do this.
Therefore, when Mao Wenlong, a military official who often went to the frontier to scout and slept in the open air, and now suffered from stomach problems and his physical fitness declined seriously, came to the Imperial College, the officials and scholars of the Imperial College did not welcome him.
"In the courtyard of the orchid and laurel trees, a wild boar will suddenly live permanently. Are you in the mood to study here?"
Therefore, when Mao Wenlong arrived, the Imperial College Secretary Ye Shifan asked other officials of the Imperial College to come.
"Then this place of literary excellence will stink from now on."
Maoxiang said something.
The others laughed.
Even Luo Yuyi, the Imperial Academy's wine minister, couldn't help but laugh.
Mao Wenlong had heard the laughter and knew that these people were scolding him.
He didn't even want to come.
He knew that these literati had always been very arrogant. What's more, the scholars in the Imperial College were either the sons of noble families or the best scholars from all over the country. Naturally, they were even more arrogant and arrogant based on their talents.
Therefore, he didn't want to bring trouble to himself.
But the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed.
Moreover, Lu Xiangsheng also scolded him, saying how could he enter the Privy Council if he couldn't even deal with a bunch of scribes.
Mao Wenlong heard the meaning.
If he wants to become a general or a prime minister, he must first have the ability to deal with the civil servants, otherwise he will suffer the consequences of the civil servants sooner or later in the future.
Mao Wenlong didn't know that his life and career in his previous life were cut off by a civil servant.
But now Lu Xiangsheng's advice made him understand this.
In combat, it is important to anticipate the enemy first.
Mao Wenlong simply regarded the group of civil servants and scholars in the Imperial College as the enemy to be dealt with, so he made preparations in advance.
Therefore, after Mao Wenlong came in and heard laughter, he was not angry, but just put his hand in his mouth and shushed.
Immediately, six well-trained Guards hounds rushed in.
These hounds don't bark either.
Just like a human army, they rushed towards the officials and scholars of the Imperial College in an orderly and imposing manner.
When the officials and scholars of the Imperial College saw this, they immediately panicked and didn't know how to respond.
Imperial College Secretary Ye Shi Fan stopped laughing immediately, but before he could escape, a hound suddenly pounced on him.
The hound bit his arm directly, then pulled him down to the ground, causing pain in his butt.
Maoxiang was also bitten on the foot by the rushing hound and dragged to the ground.
Maoxiang screamed in pain: "My injury needs healing! Woohoo!"
Seeing this, Zhang Biming rushed to run away, but was bitten on the wrist by a chasing hound, and was then dragged to the ground, screaming in pain.
Other Imperial College officials and scholars fled one after another.
Mao Wenlong just walked in at this time and hissed again, and the hounds stopped attacking and returned to Mao Wenlong obediently.
Mao Wenlong therefore said: "Everyone, now you know, if you don't do martial arts training, you will be worse than a dog! Even worse than a dog! Haha!"
Luo Yuyi, who was not bitten but was frightened and was sitting on the ground in a panic, got up at this time, pointed at Mao Wenlong angrily and said: "Mao Jijiu, you are insulting the gentlemen! I want to interfere with you. !”
