Chapter 265 Reform of the Imperial Examination System! [Please order the full version]

Zhu Yuanzhang felt beautiful in his heart, but he snorted coldly on his face: "Sent to Yinzhou overseas? Wouldn't it be easier for these rebellious people?"

Zhu Han quickly said: "As the saying goes, waste should be reused. It would be such a waste to really kill them!"

In the past, hearing these words, these civil servants would have been furious, but now, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are listening to the sound, just nodding wildly, yes, yes, yes, we are all waste, spare us

Damn it!

At this moment, these officials were distracted, and some of their little thoughts were almost written on their faces. Zhu Yuanzhang was almost not happy, but he looked like he was thinking on the surface, and then reluctantly said: "Well, it's easy for them!"

"Then a formal decree was issued: "Drawing the decree, Hou Fang and Huang Jiuyan, the four gangsters, will be punished by their clan according to their crimes, but..."

"In consideration of God's virtue of good life, no matter the officials of the imperial court, officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or students of Dongshan College, my whole family will be spared death and exiled to Yinzhou overseas. I will teach the local indigenous people on behalf of the Ming Dynasty and atone for their sins!"

After the decree was issued, the officials who were still kneeling in the hall finally breathed a sigh of relief, okay, no need to die!

Then everyone burst into tears of gratitude and shouted long live!

"The Emperor's kindness!"

"Your Majesty is a famous king throughout the ages!"

"I thank the Lord for His kindness, and may I live long, long live, long live!"

In the midst of the quarrel, there were all words of thanks and posthumous praise to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Han only thought it was extremely funny. When Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded each of these people, everyone in this group felt that they should do it and were arrogant.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang has exiled them to America, but all of them are sincerely grateful.

It's just ridiculous to the extreme.

The more Zhu Han thought about it, the funnier he became. He couldn't help but shake his head, and then he felt refreshed.

Now that these die-hards are gone, the court has been purged. Although there are still a large number of vacant official positions and no one is in charge, in Zhu Han's opinion, this is a great good thing.

In recent years, the new imperial examination has actually selected many talents, and training at the grassroots level has long been enough. However, the door to advancement is in the hands of die-hards.

For many important official positions, talents who came out of the new imperial examination system have no chance at all.

Now, we finally took this opportunity to wipe out these die-hards. Those young officials who have been unable to advance for many years can fill these vacant positions at any time.

This is also part of Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang's plan.

As for the military attache, he was even happier.

This bunch of sour Confucian scholars who looked down on themselves every day finally got out and no longer had to listen to the buzzing of flies.

As for the attitude of these exiled officials, let alone them. In one sentence, it is good to be alive. It would be even better if the whole family is alive!

Anyway, the matter of sending a large number of officials and their families to America has been decided.

Everyone is very satisfied, including the people who were assigned, it’s just so outrageous!

But Zhu Han remembered one more thing, he had to keep his hands closed!

I saw him take a step forward and loudly said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, I have something to do, please ask your Majesty for your judgment!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned. When discussing with Wu Qi before, he didn't act like this.

Although he was mumbling in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang still answered: "What's the matter?"

"The Kong family is also implicated in this case. May I ask Your Majesty, how should it be punished?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han brothers forged the new Confucianism to fool others.

But it is a fake thing after all.

There are too many flaws in front of the serious Kong family, which has always been a hidden danger.

Furthermore, the Kong family is also behind the Dongshan College incident in Zhejiang, so Zhu Han naturally cannot let them go.

In today's ideological circles of the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism and the Confucian family in Qufu are basically not worth mentioning. Only Nanconfu still has some fighting power. It just so happens that this time, the last hidden dangers have been completely eliminated.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he understood what Zhu Han meant.

He pretended to be scolded: "How to punish? Didn't I just make the decree? The whole family was exiled overseas to Yinzhou, and the Yin natives were civilized. Do you still want to intercede for those rebellious party members?"

Although the Hou Fang clan is related to Nan Kong, if we say it accurately, it has long been outside the scope of the nine clans. There is not room for error in the process, but at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said a word and completely settled this matter.

The child is determined!

Song Lian, who was kneeling at the front, originally wanted to beg for Nankong's favor, but after hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he quickly shut his mouth firmly.

After the decree was issued, Mao Xiang suddenly became more majestic again.

With a shout, a large number of guards came in and dragged out all the officials related to Hou Fang, Zhang Hong, Liu Fulin, and Huang Yanjiu. This time, the prisoners cooperated extremely well, and no one made a big fuss.

Noisy.

Afterwards, Mao Xiang hurriedly retreated and went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to fetch people.

This time, officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, plus scholars from Dongshan College, had a big job!

Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and Song Lian looked at each other and each sighed bitterly in their hearts.

From today onwards, Confucian Confucianism is very different from before, and I don’t know whether it is a disaster or a blessing...

As for the scholars and officialdom in Zhejiang...

Thinking of this, the three of them felt even more bitter in their hearts.

Since then, Zhejiang has been completely in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the King of England, from the officials to the people. The three of them no longer have the shame to be called the leaders of Zhejiang scholars...

Hangzhou, on the bank of the West Lake, in Qixialing, peach blossoms are in full bloom, and there is a sea of ​​fragrant snow!

Today is a big day for all Zhejiang scholars.

With the support of Nan Kong, Hou Fang, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zhang Hong, the prefect of Hangzhou, and Liu Fulin, the chief envoy of Zhejiang, summoned all the famous scholars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to establish Dongshan College!

Liu Fulin will be appointed as the mountain director of the college, and Hou Fang and Zhang Hong will be appointed as deputy mountain directors.

Immediately, the scholars in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were excited. After hearing the news, they came one after another, rushing to enroll and become apprentices!

Ever since the imperial examination system was reformed, these students, who could only write the Four Books and Five Classics and write eight-legged essays, were completely dumbfounded.

If you don’t take the exam if you learn it yourself, the court will not take the exam. This imperial examination is nothing!

Therefore, everyone could only stay at home, scolding the imperial court for being ridiculous, scolding Zhu Han for advocating the reform of the imperial examination system, and bewitching the saints. Other than that, they could not do anything else.

There is no way, there are so many students, and there is no one who is important enough to take the lead!

Well now, the three big bosses, the Superintendent of Schools in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Prefect of Hangzhou, and the Chief Envoy of Zhejiang are going to stand up for themselves and others. If they don't show their loyalty now, how long will it take?

The most important thing is that they also heard that these three big guys intend to hold their own "little imperial examination"!

In other words, as long as he can enter Dongshan College, the three adults will be his teachers. Even if he cannot be promoted to the imperial court, under the operation of these three people, he can become an official in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

It’s not impossible!

This is simply like after the imperial court changed the imperial examination, these three adults opened a window for the students!

These days, no one is smarter than anyone else. After figuring this out, there have been more than a thousand students coming to Qixialing since three days ago, and today there are even more than three thousand.

Such a big movement attracted many wealthy businessmen and landowners nearby.

But when I learned that the three senior officials were holding a gathering here, I was even more happy. This was a rare opportunity to build relationships. For a while, many wealthy businessmen came to call their friends. A rough calculation showed that the number of people was close to four.

A thousand.

At the very back of the assembly was a high platform. On the high platform, Hou Fang and the other three were not wearing official uniforms. They were just Eguan Bodai, dressed as celebrities, and sat on the ground on straw mats.

Looking at the dark crowd under the stage, mostly young scholars, the three of them were extremely satisfied.

Liu Fulin stroked his black beard happily: "Okay, okay! These are the seeds of Confucianism. Confucius still has hope!"

Hou Fang also had a smile on his face, and then he sneered again and again: "The King of England has evil intentions, and the foolish king favors the traitorous king. They think that changing the imperial examination will end our tradition of sacred learning. Bah! What a wishful thinking!"

"Hey, Brother Hou, please calm down!"

Zhang Hong calmly poured a cup of hot tea for the two of them, and then said leisurely: "Since ancient times, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats have always ruled the world together. Even the barbarians in the former Yuan Dynasty held several imperial examinations. What if

If the imperial examinations are held a few more times, how could there be a riot in the Red Scarf Army?"

At this point, the three of them were in a daze.

When the Yuan Dynasty ruled China, it was actually the golden age for these scholar-bureaucrats.

These barbarians did not know how to govern the country, so they delegated all the power over people's livelihood to the scholars. As long as they paid food and taxes on time, they also bribed the powerful officials...

These Mongolians don’t care what you do there!

As a result, Emperor Zhu drove away the Mongols and seemed to have restored China, but it was not a good thing for the scholar class in these places.

After having tasted the power, who would be willing to hand it over again?

Especially now that the emperor and the king of England are actually tampering with the imperial examinations. This will destroy the roots of the scholars...

It is tolerable, but what is intolerable!

The three people who were originally in a good mood suddenly felt bad because of the thought of this incident.

Zhang Hong shook his head, dispersed these distracting thoughts, and comforted the other two people: "Don't worry! We can't govern the world without people like us, the disciples of the Holy Scholars!"
