"What did the imperial doctor do? Didn't he say that the emperor's sister would get better if she went out to relax? Why can't she eat more the more she relaxes, these losers!" When Zhu Youxiao heard that something was wrong with his sister, he immediately jumped up. Liu Ziguang naturally knew that the eldest princess was on a hunger strike.
Why, but at this moment, I can only pretend to be stupid: "The princess's body is more important, let's drive another day." Zhu Youxiao sighed and said: "This is the only way, I went to the harem to visit the emperor's sister,
Aiqing must have gone straight to the palace after getting off the airship. Go back home and rest quickly, and we will discuss it with you tomorrow morning."
Liu Ziguang didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly resigned as emperor and left the palace, heading directly to the Red Shirt Regiment's camp in the southern suburbs outside the city.
The Red Shirt Regiment's camp and the Nanchang Yamen are both in the south of Nanjing, outside the Jubao Gate. The two places are not far apart, forming an angle with each other. Now they are decorating with lights and preparing for a wedding banquet. The wife and father-in-law have arrived.
It was really difficult to deal with the matter together. Li Yan and Song Yingxing both suggested that he simply handle the matter in a low-key manner. After all, today's social atmosphere emphasizes filial piety first, so don't hold this banquet. But Liu Ziguang thought that it was just a matter of one code, so he should drink.
You have to drink it, weddings and funerals are held together, so the red shirt regiment's camp is full of tables, chicken, duck and fish are cooked deliciously, and jars of spirits are freely drank. After eating the wedding wine, the red cloth and
The happy characters are pulled off and replaced with white cloth and soul-calling flags. A piece of white cloth is wrapped around each person's head, wine and meat are added and the process continues.
Many members of the Red Shirt Regiment were from the Iron Guard, and they were indispensable in participating in the affairs of the old employer's family. They drank a lot of wine bottles with laughter and tears, and those direct descendants of slaves drank even more. Peng
They didn't care whether the factory owner died or not. What was important was that their marshal finally got married. The marshal was so kind. He waited until all the brothers got married before he was the last one to get married. Since everyone followed Liu Ziguang from the iron factory
Since the beginning of the army, although they have gone through blood stations and suffered no casualties, everyone who survived has been richly rewarded. They have married wives, purchased fields, and filled their pockets with money, and their social status has also changed.
He is very tall. He has changed from a prisoner-of-war slave who relied on others and worked as cattle and horses in the past to a superior Ouchi guard, a Nanchang fanzi, an officer of the Red Shirt Regiment, etc.
Those comrades who were killed or injured in previous battles were also properly dealt with. The bodies of the fallen were buried in the Martyrs Cemetery on the shore of Daming Lake in Jinan. During every festival, there were dedicated people to pay tribute and the injured were arranged in Liu Ziguang's various memorial halls.
Working in the industry, in addition to salary every month, you can also receive generous pensions. Even the brothers who are blind and have broken legs have married wives, and the quickest ones are already going to be fathers.
It was not until this moment that the beloved Marshal Liu thought about his life-long event. How could this not move his brothers? Groups of soldiers came to Liu Ziguang and toasted him with bowls of sea. Liu Ziguang let go of his drink and got drunk with his brothers.
After a break, the result was the same as at the iron factory wedding banquet. Everyone with whom he was drinking lay down under the table without exception. After drinking and eating with his brothers, Liu Ziguang returned to the Earl's Mansion in the city.
There was a lot of excitement outside the Earl's Mansion. The hitch posts were covered with reins. Dozens of horses were parked at the door. The luxury carriages were parked all the way to the entrance of the alley. There were also many large green baize sedans that only officials of third rank or above were eligible to ride.
Fortunately, the Earl's Mansion was formerly the spacious Admiral's Mansion of Dongchang. The open space in front of the door is large enough, otherwise it would have been blocked in an unseemly manner. Even so, the parking space was still very tight. Many horses could only be tied to trees and hundreds of people stood there.
They were chatting with each other on the road, or squatting and smoking. Judging from their clothes, they should be servants such as grooms and bearers from various mansions. Needless to say, they must be people from all walks of life in Beijing who came to give gifts to the uncle.
The wedding of Uncle Liu, the Admiral of the Nachang Factory and the Minister of Internal Security, was the most discussed matter in the capital during this period. Regarding the uncle's quiet return to the iron factory to get married, people from all walks of life in the capital were talking about it. They all said that Uncle Zhenwu didn't want to
He was so extravagant and extravagant that he deliberately did not do things in the capital. However, it was impossible for a major life event like a marriage to not be expressed by everyone, so those dignitaries who thought they could have a relationship with Uncle Zhenwu came to the Liu Mansion one after another.
He gave gifts and came every day. He would not stop until Liu Ziguang returned to Beijing and accepted the gifts in person.
As soon as the carriage with the admiral's flag appeared, the crowd outside the mansion immediately became noisy and rushed to the concierge. By the time Uncle Zhenwu entered the mansion, the crowd had already formed a big knot, and a letter of title was sandwiched between the banknotes.
The purpose of stuffing it into the hands of the doorman was simply to rush into the palace and personally deliver wedding blessings and generous gifts to the uncle.
Of course, Liu Ziguang did not have time to deal with these people. He just sent his butler to the concierge to collect the gifts. He accepted all the gifts and registered them in a book, waiting for the gifts to be returned in the future. He had other business to do, and he would first report to the emperor tomorrow morning.
He handed over the order and reported on the affairs of this tour to Jiangnan, and then participated in the discussion of the new examination model.
Reforming the stereotyped system of selecting scholars is a challenge to the entire scholar-bureaucrat class. If it were not for this turmoil, Liu Ziguang would not have proposed this plan. The rigid system of selecting civil servants such as the stereotyped system is no longer suitable for the development trend of the empire.
It is impossible for officials with the Four Books and Five Classics to manage the increasingly complex national economy and people's livelihood, import and export trade, and the increasingly developed manufacturing and transportation industries. Officials without flexible minds and good at learning cannot lead the country in a healthy way towards a stronger and more civilized country.
moving in the direction.
There is no doubt that all advanced ideas will be attacked by conservative forces. Liu Ziguang is fully mentally prepared for the debate in the court tomorrow. He wrote two letters for the guards to send out, one to the Ministry of Industry
Shangshu Song Yingxing and Hubu Shangshu Hu Xuezhai, these two are considered heavyweights in the Liu-Hu alliance. Tomorrow's court battle must have their support to have any hope of success. The rest of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment are all
There was no way for Liu Ziguang to get involved in the yamen. Moreover, both Qian Qianyi and Yuan Chonghuan were both Jinshi. He knew with his knees that they would definitely oppose this new system. Liu Ziguang had to prepare early. He was not one of those people who had to argue.
Human opponents can only make fuss about the emperor, the final decision-maker. Fortunately, Jinshang is a young man with a flexible mind and loves science, and has not been poisoned by Cheng Zhuxue. What he said today has moved him.
Coupled with the support of two ministers from the Ministry of Industry and Accounts tomorrow, the chance of winning this matter should be more than 40%.
Early the next morning, when the sky was bright, Liu Ziguang put on his court clothes, got on the green cloth sedan and went to court. The early morning in winter was extremely cold, and the white steam coming out of the mouths of the eight sedan bearers quickly disappeared in the cold air, leaving a feeling of loneliness.
Under the morning stars, the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division who were on night duty were marching neatly. The streets were empty, except for the large green cloth sedans that were moving quickly towards the Forbidden City. They were all rushing to go to the Forbidden City.
Among the officials of the court, Liu Ziguang is the admiral of Nanchang and the minister in charge of the bodyguard. He is a minister who does not have to go to court, so this is his first time to go to court.
The ministers all politely avoided him and did not steal the limelight from him. The soldiers on duty on the road also respectfully saluted his proud son. I still have some authority. Liu Ziguang thought this way, and his low self-confidence improved slightly.
Diandian, last night he called Li Yan to the house to discuss it for several hours, and finally had a certain understanding of the current eight-part essay system for recruiting scholars:
Speaking of the eight-part essay system for selecting scholars, Li Yan, who was born as a scholar, was full of complaints. This perverted system was a type of imperial examination system that began in the Sui Dynasty, but it was greatly improved. In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination only
The examination of poetry and Fu only selected talents who were outstanding in the field of literature. Writers and politicians obviously cannot be equated. Therefore, the Song Dynasty carried out the reform of the imperial examination, abolished poetry and poetry, and replaced it with a test of classics, meanings, and policy theory. Only those who could govern the country with good principles were selected.
Scholars, it stands to reason that this system is relatively complete, but the rulers of the Ming Dynasty were still not satisfied and carried out reforms again.
During the Chenghua period, the method of the imperial examination was greatly changed, and the meaning of the scriptures was analyzed in a parallel style, which was called "eight essays", also known as "Shiwen", "Zhiyi" or "Zhiyi". It was inherited from then on, and the format became more and more popular.
Strictly, the article becomes more complete. The so-called eight-legged essay, each article consists of eight parts: breaking the title, carrying the title, beginning, starting, starting, middle, back and ending. To break the title, use two sentences at the beginning to set the meaning of the title.
Following the topic, use three or four sentences or five or six sentences to continue the meaning of the topic and explain it. To start, use a few sentences or ten as the beginning of the discussion. Only write the general idea of the topic, which should be empty rather than true. Start with one or two or three or four sentences.
, is the place to start after the lecture. The following starting stocks to ending stocks are the official focus of the discussion. Among these four stocks, each stock must have two parallel statements, usually one is negative, one is positive, one is false and one is true.
One is shallow and the other is deep, and there are also affiliated ones, which are combined into eight parts, so it is called eight-part essay. The test questions of eight-part essay come from the four books. The candidates must fill in the format according to the words of the sages and sages in the four books and five classics. Therefore, it has great limitations and disadvantages.
You Da. However, when selecting scholars in the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing was the imperial examination, and the imperial examination was mainly based on the eight-part essay. So of course the focus of education was entirely on how to teach the eight-part essay and how to write the eight-legged essay, which seriously constrained the students' thinking and thinking.
Talent.
"Several people in humble positions all went to school in the same year and became dignified candidates. But apart from memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics and Zhu Xi's commentaries, these bookworms don't even know which dynasty the emperors of Qin and Han were. They are really pedantic.
It's unbearable and useless. When asked how they would become officials in the future, they actually said that they could just sit in court and cast lots and beat people. Such officials are simply a disaster." Li Yan said angrily. He was from a declining landlord family in Henan and had been involved in business since he was a child.
He is broad-minded, capable of literature and martial arts, and has read a lot of poetry and books, but he has repeatedly failed. He has been wearing the hat of scholar for many years and has not been elected. Seeing that many nonsense bookworms have won the imperial examination one after another, how can he not let Li
Yan was filled with anger. The failure of repeated attempts may be one of the reasons for his rebellion. Looking at the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division who was still aggrieved after many years, Liu Ziguang came to such a conclusion.
The eight-part system, maybe today is the end of you, Liu Ziguang thought to himself, and the followers whispered from outside: "Sir, the Meridian Gate has arrived.",
