This time the officials will fight for "the right to speak out for the people of the world"!
Those who can serve as prime ministers, ministers, and Hanlin scholars to Zhao Kai are all cunning scholars. Why don't they understand the thoughts of the emperor on horseback? And they all know the details of the emperor on horseback. This is a scholar pretending to be a robber. Leading troops to fight is not his specialty. His specialty is that of a Confucian scholar and a Jinshi!
If he hadn't held the title of prince and needed to avoid suspicion, he would have won the top prize. At that time, I thought that as a member (who came first in the examination), he was a good member. The examiner must have opened a back door for him to cheat in order to flatter Emperor Zhuangzong. Now it seems that he is the number one emperor with real talent and learning.
However, no matter how knowledgeable he is, no matter how good he is in fighting, he should not take away the power to speak for the people of the world from the hands of scholar-bureaucrats. Taking this matter further, it concerns who else in the world will be able to stand up and slightly restrict the power of the emperor in the future? The power of the emperor of this dynasty is already too heavy. Apart from the rhetoric of scholar-bureaucrats, there is almost nothing that can restrain the emperor. Now when the Song Dynasty was reopened, they kept saying that they wanted to share the world with the soldiers and warriors, causing the scholar-bureaucrats to become less vocal than before. If they lose the last bit of their right to speak because of the investigation of things and knowledge, then they will no longer be Confucian ministers who rule the world with the emperor, but big magicians.
Therefore, they must fight for this right to speak!
In addition, those who reach their level must form cliques! How can we pursue selfish interests without forming a party? What kind of official would you be if you were not seeking personal gain? And I can’t hold on to this official position! Are their level of function solitary? A good man needs three gangs, not to mention that they are all important ministers. How can I be an official without the help of party members below? He had already been coaxed off stage.
Moreover, Zhao Kai, the emperor, did not regard civil servants as his own at all. If anyone wanted to be bullied as a lonely minister, he would not only not help, but would also directly let the lonely minister become an official, because what he wanted was the result, not the reason for failure.
Those civil servants who served as local officials on Yingtian 4th Road had to inventory the land and allocate a share to the military government. They could not give less or more. The rest will also be enthroned and registered, and the official land, civilian land, and permanent industry land will be clearly distinguished.
Moreover, we have to figure out the commercial taxes and mining taxes on the land, and use these incomes as much as possible to support the various expenses of the local government offices. It is best to have some surplus to pay.
As for the civil servants who serve as officials in Zhuan 2nd Road, their burdens are even heavier! Not only must we manage the people and finances, but we must also manage the military.
The chief officers of the Junzhou Prefecture of Zhuan 2nd Road are also in charge of military affairs and are responsible for managing the soldiers in their territory. They have great power!
Moreover, whether it is the people-friendly officials of Zhuan 2nd Road or Yingtian 4th Road, they do not take office alone, but are allowed to nominate deputy soldiers and horses (the military power of the Junzhou Prefecture on Yingtian 4th Road is controlled by the military government, so there are no soldiers and horses. The governor, the deputy general), the chief secretary and all the Cao Cao joined the army - that is, they took office with the leadership team!
The advantage of this arrangement is that local officials are very efficient, capable of looting, and have strong suppression capabilities.
The disadvantage is that officials will form cliques and form one party.
And the civil servants who could firmly maintain their position as prime ministers under Zhao Kai were almost all capable officials who were good at forming parties.
And if ministers of this level want to form a good party, of course they have to start with the imperial examinations that produce middle- and high-level civil servants!
Only thirty were produced in three years, so one can imagine how valuable they are. According to Zhao Kai's strict assessment method, those who come out are definitely not weak in ability. Moreover, Zhao Kai is not only in charge of examinations, but also in charge of training. You have to be a "bandit Hanlin" for a few years and study hard with Zhao Kai. After two or three years, there will be an opportunity to go abroad.
The thirty Jinshi who were taken out in the first year of Hongwu (originally planned to take the exam every three years, but there were too many things in the three years of Hongwu, so it was delayed), some of them have now reached the military state level (they followed Zhao Kai goes to the front line and can be promoted with military merit). In ten or eight years, don't be surprised if someone becomes a prime minister.
Therefore, the examiners of this imperial examination, Lu Yihao and Chen Ji, as well as five civil servants (the Minister of the Ministry of War is a military commander), and Hanlin Chengzhi Chen Dong, all want to compete for a spot!
"Brother is so kind, I am willing to preside over this imperial examination for my brother." Chen Ji immediately jumped out to argue.
He has followed Zhao Kai for the longest time and knows Zhao Kai's character well. Ever since Zhao Kai went "crazy", he liked his subordinates to "fight". The principle of "Husbands don't fight, so no one in the world can fight with them" is of no use to Zhao Kai.
If you want it, you have to fight for it! If you don't fight, you won't get your share, but you can't fight by any means, and you can't not fight openly, but dig holes and stumble in secret, so as to ruin the overall situation.
So the people below had better fight in front of Zhao Kai!
If you can't see Zhao Kai, then go to the memorial and fight for it!
"Guan Jia, I also want to host this competition for you!" Lu Yihao is also a contentious master. When he saw Chen Ji jumping out first, he naturally followed up immediately.
"In the official family, I am a Confucian official, and I follow you every day. I know your way best, so it is most suitable for me to be the examiner." Hanlin Chengzhi Chen Dong also came out to fight.
In Zhao Kai's political system, the two imperial pen subsystems of Hanlin and Shiren were combined into one, forming a "secretariat"-like institution, called Hanlin Academy, and its head was Hanlin Bachelor Chengzhi.
All Zhao Kai's edicts, whether they were edicts, edicts, answers, or military orders, were drafted by the Hanlin Academy.
The memorials submitted by the Zhengtang, Privy Council, Chisi, Caosi, Dutongsi and other yamen were all reviewed by the Hanlin officials first.
The power of the Hanlin Academy is no less than that of the prime minister.
However, Chen Dong still wants to squeeze Lu Yihao away so that he can become the real prime minister...
"Who else?" Zhao Kai said with a smile, "This time the examiner is not only responsible for the Jinshi examination, but also the admission to the four major universities of Xuanwu, Shendu, Shangyang and Xiyuan!"
When he said this, his eyes turned to Yue Fei and Yue Pengju.
What does this mean?
Yue Fei wants to be the examiner?
This time, not only Lu Yihao was stunned, but Chen Ji and Chen Dong were also a little surprised.
Yue Fei is a military commander after all!
Did the officials want him to be prime minister?
Yue Fei stood up in front of everyone's astonished eyes and bowed to Zhao Kaiyi, "Brother, my brother Yue Fei is willing to recruit scholars for my brother!"
This Yue Fei... Chen Ji immediately understood, this was what Zhao Kai meant!
Chen Dong immediately thought that without Zhao Kai's instruction, it would be impossible for Yue Fei to come and take part in the imperial examination.
Although this imperial examination will also include admission to the Xuanwu Hall bachelor's degree chaired by Yue Fei, Yue Fei only needs to be the deputy chief examiner - the heads of Xuanwu, Shendu, and Shangyang halls must be deputy chief examiners. As for Zhao Kai is in charge of Xiyuan University himself, and whoever is the chief examiner must listen to him.
So this time the imperial examination is about Jinshi!
"Officials," Lu Yihao jumped out to object, "I think that only Confucian officials must be the chief examiners of the imperial examination. Yue Fei is a martial artist, how can he be the chief examiner?"
Zhao Kai immediately asked: "If Zilu is still alive, can he take the exam for the master?"
Lu Yihao objected: "Zilu is a great sage and a disciple of the Confucian sect. How can he be compared to Yue Fei?"
Zhao Kai said: "Fei is a great Confucian, and he will be named Yuezi in future generations!"
What? Son-in-law?
Lu Yihao was confused now. Why are the officials talking nonsense?
Chen Ji looked at Yue Fei in confusion, as if asking: When did you become a great scholar? I do not know how?
Chen Dong looked at Zhao Kai with suspicious eyes and thought: Is the Mad King's madness coming again? He hasn't had any symptoms for several days, and he thought he was completely recovered!
It is now the end of 1130 AD. Zhao Kai has been in this world for more than five years. His "book mental age" is also 22 years old. Because he has integrated all the memories of "Zhao Kai, the Number One Scholar", his actual mental age will definitely be Bigger. So he is no longer as reckless as when he first arrived... During the last battle in Black Mountain, he didn't even come into battle.
And after returning from Montenegro, he has been handling government affairs very seriously, even a bit like a wise king.
Unexpectedly, he is now crazy again.
Yue Fei himself was confused: How could I become 'Yue Zi'?
Zhao Kai faced these doubtful looks and smiled lightly and said: "Gong Zhi'an, who practices peaceful cultivation and knows everything about the world. If he does, he can be called a great Confucian."
Zhao Kai is talking about the words in "Xunzi. Confucianism", which is the authoritative explanation of "Great Confucianism".
"Pengju's moral integrity is definitely up to the standards of a great Confucian, and he is indeed a model for all ministers!"
Zhao Kai started to praise Yue Fei again, which made Yue Fei blush. Lu Yihao, Chen Ji, and Chen Dong all shook their heads inwardly - this is probably beauty in the eye of the beholder, right? Yue Fei's character would be a disaster in the eyes of any emperor throughout the ages!
Is that his moral integrity? He has nothing to gain and women have no luck, so his ambition is not small!
When a general reaches his status, he should be as greedy for money as Zhang Jun!
"Officials," Chen Dong is also a master who speaks out when he has something to say (such a person can actually be the "big secret" in Zhao Kai's side), and he immediately said to Zhao Kai, "The moral integrity of Lieutenant Yue, the minister I also admire him very much. But how did he ever know Tongtong?"
Zhao Kai said: "Pengju has indeed succeeded in informing the general class!"
Everyone in Zhenguan Hall turned their attention to Yue Fei. Yue Fei opened his mouth wide and looked confused - what is Zhitong Tonglei?
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "A knower means knowing. A knowledgeable person means proficiency. A unified person means integrating. A category means classifying. In other words, we need to classify the unified things into categories and break them into pieces. In order to achieve the mastery of classification, and then the knowledge of integration.
This is how Pengju made a casserole cannon...and he also wrote the 'How to Block Cannons' in a book and used it as a teaching material in the artillery school. This is a method of studying things! The sages taught us to study things, to know them, to be upright, and to be sincere, but they did not teach us how to study things. Pengju created a method of studying things that can help Confucian scholars all over the world to study things and gain knowledge. Isn't he a great Confucian? "
It seems to make sense!
The Confucian officials present were all speechless, because Yue Fei seemed to be a great Confucian!
