In fact, Zhu Youxiao actually had no reason to expel the people.
According to the current system of the Ming Dynasty, it is the people's own business when to leave after entering Beijing.
As long as the people still have money, they can stay in the capital as long as they want, and it can also boost the capital's economy.
Of course, for the dignitaries in the capital, they not only want to make money from the common people who come to the capital, but they also dislike these people crowding in their own capital.
But for the common people, the capital is not only the capital of dignitaries, but also their capital.
Just like the emperor is not only their emperor, but also the emperor of people like himself.
"Article 3 of the military ministers: those who wantonly corrupt and violate civil laws must also be kidnapped and sent to Beijing!"
Yu Zhongming, a commoner, was walking forward with the flow of people at this time, looking at the imperial imperial edict he had just received from Yi Jinyiwei, and because he heard that the emperor would select people to take the exam, he was very worried. Read it seriously.
While thinking about it, Yu Zhongming couldn't help but sigh: "It turned out that Taizu was a good emperor! It turns out that people can do this. Didn't your husband teach you this?"
With that said, Yu Zhongming asked his son Yu Baoming.
Yu Baoming replied: "Sir, this is the same as the "Huang Ming Holy Instructions". You only need to study by yourself. During the exam, you can just bring the book and read it, and you will be given high marks."
Yu Zhongming was stunned after hearing this: "Then what does your husband want you to learn from him?"
"Of course I learned what my husband taught me. He said that learning what he teaches can help us get ahead!"
As Yu Baoming spoke, he shook his head and recited: "For example, all things are inferior but reading is good. There is a house of gold in the book, and there is a beauty like jade in the book."
After hearing this, Yu Zhongming thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is nothing wrong with what your husband taught me."
"There's no problem. Your husband only taught you how to get ahead, but he didn't teach you what to do if you can't get ahead! That's what you're taught here!"
At this time, Jin Yiwei, who didn't know when he appeared, said something, then walked to the front and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone who hasn't received the "Da Gao" and "Huang Ming Holy Instructions"? Now the court is giving them out for free. , Your Majesty has a decree, and after you get it, you can have a good look at it, and then some of you will be selected to go up and be tested by Your Majesty!"
Wait until the day when Zhu Youxiao goes to Chengtianmen to meet the people of the world.
All the people appeared in front of him, holding the Great Edict in one hand and the Holy Instructions of the Emperor Ming in the other, and they were all shouting various words.
When Zhu Youxiao saw this, he ordered: "Wear the royal guards and send some people up."
Therefore, Geng Yuyuan, who had followed the flow of people to the capital several times, was drawn up by chance.
Along with Geng Yuyuan, there were also people from all walks of life from other places who were selected and brought into the palace, totaling more than a thousand people.
These people were all taken outside Fengtian Gate and arranged to sit on chairs beside the makeshift desk.
Zhu Youxiao also walked out of Fengtianmen after Geng Yuyuan and others were sent to Fengtianmen.
Many people who were sent here were very excited because they could finally see the emperor closer.
But for the selected scholars such as Geng Yuyuan who disliked the working people, following these common people to be received by the emperor at this time was not considered very honorable and lucky. In comparison.
When Zhu Youxiao came out of Fengtian Gate, he also held the two books "Da Gao" and "Huang Ming Holy Instructions", and smiled at the microphone standing in the center of Fengtian Gate and the thousands of people in front of him. Asked: "How are you studying these two books now?"
Since the Ming Dynasty discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction in the field of science and technology, it has made great progress in electromagnetism. It can be said that it has developed by leaps and bounds, leading to the emergence of machines such as audio and phonographs.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao can now use a microphone to speak in a group of people, and these people can clearly hear what he said.
Back to the topic.
At this time, Yu Zhongming, a commoner who was also drawn and taken outside Fengtian Gate, touched the back of his head, grinned, and shouted loudly: "Go back to the emperor, I think it is a good book! Teach us how to deal with officials!" "
The officials standing aside, Chen Weisong, the Minister of Rites, and Zhang Ersu, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, looked a little confused after hearing this.
Zhu Youxiao didn't think anything of it, he just smiled slightly, then held up the two books and said: "This "Great Edict" is Taizu's instruction to the people of the world, and this "Huang Ming Holy Instructions" is my instruction to the people of the world. Your instructions are all teachings to you, but you can't be careless, so that you are bullied because you don't know these two things, and then you blame the court for being unethical!"
With that, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "The exam starts now, don't let me down. If you answer well, I will give you a big reward!"
Next, the internal police officers brought the papers over, and the examiners appointed by Chen Weisong and Zhang Ersu began to distribute the test papers to these people.
Chen Weisong and Zhang Ersu were feeling very embarrassed now. They did not expect that these ordinary people with poor backgrounds would be the examiners. As a result, they did not show the slightest excitement for the examiners, so they kept a straight face and acted stern. look like.
When the uninformed people saw their appearance, they thought that these officials in the capital were as dignified as the officials in the county. On the contrary, the emperor was always amiable and smiling.
Zhu Youxiao said he was testing the people, but in fact he just asked them to fill out a questionnaire.
Because the questions asked by Zhu Youxiao are actually not very related to the "Da Gao" and "Huang Ming Hadith". They are questions and answers without standard answers. The first question is to ask about his name, age, place of origin, family situation, and occupation. Situations, life goals.
The next questions are about your views on your hometown, society, and officials in your own county, etc.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao also asked more responsible questions such as whether he thought the court should change the law, whose world should belong to the country, and whose interests should be the basis of the world.
After Zhu Youxiao has been engaged in civilian education for decades, the illiteracy rate among the people has been very low, and most of the people can already write. Although it cannot be said that all of them are calligraphers and can express anything profound, doing a questionnaire is no problem.
Geng Yuyuan was initially disgusted with taking exams with vulgar people, and after finding some of the questions on the paper too boring, he felt that the emperor's behavior was boring.
But then, after he finished answering, he found that he couldn't hold back for a while, and even after writing the blank space on the paper, it was not enough. He couldn't help but stand up and cup his hands and said: "May I ask, your majesty, if you can give me another answer sheet. "
Zhu Youxiao nodded and agreed to Geng Yuyuan's request.
Geng Yuyuan became more and more excited as he wrote. He felt that his long speeches would surely amaze His Majesty the Emperor, and he might even worship him as an official on the spot, and even regard his words as a guideline for governing the country.
Geng Yuyuan became interested for a moment, and when he glanced at Yu Zhongming who was sitting next to him, he saw that he only wrote one sentence dryly in the blank spaces of the next few questions on the paper, and the handwriting was very sloppy, and he became even more confused. Become proud.
But as mentioned above, Zhu You's examination of the common people was not to select talents for governing the country, but just took the opportunity to conduct a questionnaire.
Therefore, after Zhu Youxiao reviewed the answer sheets, the results of the candidates he selected were quite surprising to Geng Yuyuan.
