The six bureaus and nine bureaus of the Ming Dynasty have been established for a long time. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were six bureaus, namely Situ, Sima, Sikong, Sikou, Daxingren, and Zong Bo. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it evolved into the six bureaus of Li, Hu, Li, Bing, Xing, and Gong.

The development of Jiuqing is different. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it refers to the nine departments of Fengchang, Langzhongling, Weiwei, Taipu, Dali Temple Qing, Dianke, Zongzheng, Zhisu Neishi and Shaofu. Later, it was gradually reduced to

In the Ming Dynasty, only Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taipu Temple and Honglu Temple remained.

Together with the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the General Affairs Department, they were basically all the power agencies of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Hanlin Academy, it is the literary and historical research and talent reserve institution of the Ming Dynasty. There are about 300 new academic scholars produced in each imperial examination. Generally speaking, the top 100 will stay in the Hanlin Academy, copying and writing every day, and accumulating experience.

Wait for the opportunity.

With the rise of the Academy of Sciences, the status of the Hanlin Academy is gradually declining, because these Hanlin masters only study classics and history, and do not involve other subjects. Now that the New Deal has been fully rolled out, traditional scholars have become more and more struggling.

With one stroke of his pen, Zhu Qizhen directly changed the Hanlin Academy into the Institute of Literature and History.

Then write the two characters "Cabinet" and put a cross at the back.

When Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Ministry of Education, we, the descendants of the Zhu family, could not forget our roots and that was it!

Yu Qian continued to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War, and Cao Nai became Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Kuang Ye had already submitted three resignations, and it seemed that he could no longer do the job, so Zhang Yilai took over as Minister of Rites.

Peng Qing needed to establish a new Maritime Governor's Office at the same level as the six ministries, and set up consulates in overseas countries to station officials on a long-term basis.

The Academy of Sciences has undergone the biggest change. It needs to separate disciplines related to the other six ministries and place them under the names of the six ministries, such as the Agricultural Research Institute and the Mathematical Research Institute of the Ministry of Housing; the Civil Engineering Research Institute and the Water Conservancy Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry; and the weapons and equipment research of the Ministry of War.

So wait.

In addition, the Academy of Sciences is also responsible for teaching and imperial examinations, and divides examination questions into different categories such as literature and history, science, engineering, and martial arts. Students can register and take the corresponding examinations according to their own strengths.

Three days later, Beilin entered the palace with a thick charter.

Zhu Qizhen looked through it carefully and felt very satisfied.

The Academy of Sciences is reliable in its work, taking almost every aspect into consideration, and all processes are very complete.

"That's right, let's do this!"

Beilin looked respectful and asked: "Your Majesty, is it really not necessary to send a cabinet draft?"

"No need, you can directly draft the imperial edict and take it to the Supervisor of Ceremonies for sealing."

"I dare to advise you, but this seems... not very good..."

Zhu Qizhen's eyes widened and he said dissatisfiedly: "I tell you to go, you go, no need to say anything!"

Beilin swallowed and then said: "The person who asked Enke's question this time..."

"Needless to say, of course they are from the Academy of Sciences! You can go back and select people now to form the Enke Proposal Team. No matter who is selected, they need to be temporarily isolated from the outside world and guarded by Jin Yiwei. I will send someone to eat three meals a day.

Go and deliver it until the exam starts!"

"Before this, if anyone leaves without authorization, he will be punished as if he leaked the exam questions!"

Beilin asked doubtfully: "Are they all chosen from the Academy of Sciences?"

"You are the examiner, you decide!"

"I suggest... that the examiners for literature and history should be selected from the Hanlin Academy?"

"I have said it, you decide, just submit it to me for approval!"

"Yes, I will make arrangements right now."

Beilin felt a lot of pressure, unprecedentedly high.

When the Academy of Sciences was first established, he defied public opinion, acted independently, and dared to confront everyone. At that time, there was no pressure.

It's different now. Through continuous changes, the emperor has brought the Academy of Sciences to an unprecedented height.

The imperial examination is the foundation of the imperial court. Whoever presides over the imperial examination will have the most power in the imperial court.

Beilin thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, do you really not need to discuss with the cabinet?"

Zhu Qizhen said calmly: "I have already withdrawn the cabinet, and I will tell the world tomorrow!"

"Ah? Really withdrawn?"

"If I said I would withdraw, I would withdraw. Can I still joke with you?"

"That mentor..."

"The Maritime Governor's Office was established, with Peng Qing's family as the Governor-General, in charge of maritime trade, shipping, diplomacy and consulates of overseas countries."

Beilin thought hard for a long time, and then said: "I understand!"

The emperor is determined to do something big, and no one can stop him this time.

From the current point of view, every reform is good. The only problem is that the pace is too big, and I don’t know whether it will be a waste.

If another case of regicide is forced out, the country will be in turmoil and blood will flow.

Early the next morning, the imperial court issued three edicts in succession.

The first step is to investigate the Sanyang rebellion case. More than 50,000 officials were involved. The main culprits were executed by the Jiu clan, followed by the three clans, and beheaded again. The least serious ones were exiled to guard the border.

According to statistics, there are more than 300,000 people involved in the case, a number that shocks everyone.

The second edict included the restructuring of the imperial court, the abolition of the cabinet, the addition of the Maritime Governor's Office, and other changes to the Hanlin Academy and the Academy of Sciences. Each item was written clearly and clearly.

This news is so shocking that for readers, it is almost a change of fortune.

However, the third edict shocked them even more.

Open Enke, and this time Enke's method is very different from before.

As the most important eight-part essay, it has become an ordinary category. Others include arithmetic, engineering, water control and road construction, and more importantly, there is also a martial arts subject, which examines military deductions and horseback archery.

When the edict was issued, scholars all over the world felt like they were mourning their heirs, and they wanted to cry but had no tears.

These three edicts undoubtedly killed the readers!

From then on, the order of the world will be re-established, and the connections, wealth, and relationships accumulated by the nobles for generations... will all be wiped out, and they will start over.

Guishan Academy, Wuxi, Jiangsu.

The great Confucian Sun Changhe was giving a lecture when a man dressed as a servant came in a hurry, holding a large envelope.

"Sir, a letter from the capital!"

Sun Changhe suddenly looked unhappy. He didn't see me giving a lecture. Why should I read the letter now?

"let it go!"

"yes!"

The servant did not dare to say anything, put down the envelope, turned and left.

"...Educate yourself, inquire carefully, think carefully, discern clearly, and practice sincerely. This is the golden mean. Today's lesson will stop here. I heard that the emperor wants to open Enke. You need to study hard and strive to be on the list.

.”

The students stood up to leave one after another, and then Sun Changhe picked up the envelope and saw several thick piles of paper inside.

I took it out and took a look, and my face started to look weird.

After killing so many people, the Jiangnan gentry was almost uprooted. It was so cruel!

Fortunately, I have not been involved in these bad things in recent years, but have concentrated on teaching here, and I have escaped disaster.

Open the second letter...

"ah!"

Sun Changhe jumped up immediately, sweating profusely, and his face was very frightened.

Abolish the cabinet and castrate the Hanlin Academy, this...

This is digging the roots of the Ming Dynasty!

"Crazy, the emperor is crazy..."

Sun Changhe murmured in his mouth, and opened the third copy with trembling...

Plop!

This time, the tense nerves couldn't resist him, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.

"Sir, sir!"

When Sun Changhe opened his eyes, he saw himself lying on the bed, with several familiar faces in front of him.

Xia Shaopeng, Cen Guangyao, Wei Hao, etc. are all his students, and they have already won the imperial examination, and are only one step away from becoming an official in the court.

"You... why are you back..."

"As soon as I walked out of the academy, I received news from home that something big had happened in the court. I wanted to ask my husband for advice, but I saw him fainted on the ground."

"It's over, the Ming Dynasty is over!"

Sun Changhe couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Look at it, the news is true. It is an edict issued by the emperor himself. Take a look..."

Everyone had just seen it, and everyone was silent.
