In fact, Zhao Xi was prepared for being questioned by his ministers.
I have never had a chance to talk about this, and I have never had a chance to let my husband understand my governing philosophy.
Okay, let’s just briefly mention it at this time.
This is a huge topic, and it cannot be explained in a day or two.
At this time, even if the ministers did not ask questions, Zhao Xi would mention it at this time... After all, it involves the palace examination papers and the top three rankings. They have to have a record, right?
"What is Tianxia? The meaning of the word is that it means the whole world. And the so-called Tianxia in the imperial examination question refers to the right to rule, or it can also be said to be a kind of belief and a general moral principle."
"This is not a taboo. Taizu has already said: share the world with scholar-bureaucrats..."
What he said made Zhao Xi feel false. If the purpose of his question was just to address what Taizu said, the question would be meaningless at all.
Hymns? With Wang’s huge and magnificent hymns as the foundation, does it need to be specially used for candidates to play with this?
Refute? This is disobedience to the ancestors. Who dares to say that? Leaving aside literary talent, you will be despised from a moral point of view.
To put it bluntly, the world is the world of Zhao and Song Dynasties. The so-called sharing of the world means simply giving preferential treatment to the scholar-bureaucrats.
If a scholar covets too much rights and interests, he is out of line. It is the king's business to give it to him, but the ministers must abide by their duties as ministers, and besides, they are only new scholars.
"Actually, there's a lot to discuss here. Jia Tianxia is enfeoffed. How many Jia Tianxia elements does the dynasty have? It's debatable."
"If we share the world, who owns the world? Since we share the world, what responsibilities should everyone in the court bear? Scholars can open their minds to debate."
"I have said in the early years that the world is a world for all people, and scholars, farmers, industry and commerce all have a share. The royal family, ministers and servants are just herders on behalf of heaven. Whether it is a family world, a shared world, or a public world, to put it bluntly, they are herders on behalf of heaven.
.”
"One of the reasons for setting this title is to clarify the nature of the country or the world. More importantly, it is to let the scholars and ministers understand their responsibilities and responsibilities."
"The dynasty of the country is called Zhao and Song, but is the world really a royal world? Who is the one who truly benefits the people in the imperial power, political affairs hall, and even the court?"
"Being an official and benefiting one party is a subtle reflection of the world. With your family and the world, sharing the world, what does it matter to the public world?"
"Being rigidly attached to the master of the world, or delving into the essence of the country's system, is not considered an excellent orientation. Whether it is a hymn, a comment, or an exposition of the difference between good and bad, it is considered inferior."
"Such a question is, to put it bluntly, a test of responsibility. As a Jinshi who is about to enter the official ranks of the country and the dynasty, you should start to think about your own responsibilities, your responsibilities for the court, and your responsibilities as an emperor."
"Domestic affairs are to the world, diplomacy is to the world, and the world is unified with all nine states. How should we think about these?"
In fact, when Zhao Xi asked such a question, there was no unified answer, and it was even difficult for him to think it through.
These words are nothing more than telling the ministers and workers that setting the questions in this way is not much different from excerpting sentences as questions in the examination.
The first is the definition. The beginning should define the world, and then it’s a matter of opinion.
Comparing the pros and cons of the three, this is macroscopic. The public world is ancient, the family world is modern, and the common world...~Guo Dynasty is not.
Simply define the three, and then focus on those that are consistent with the nature of the country, and recognize those who are responsible for it, so as to explain the original meaning of the world from a micro perspective...~This is the key point, and it is also the duty of being a Jinshi and a minister.
Of course, lamenting the division of Kyushu and the incomplete Jin Ou, and discussing the unification of the country and dynasty, can also be regarded as one direction.
It’s not impossible to sing praises, analyze the gains and losses of past dynasties, and highly praise the system in which the dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world...well, this counts.
One question can completely tell the ability direction of Jinshi.
Whether you focus on history, lean towards diplomacy, write gorgeously, or be a capable minister, you can see the clues from your answers.
This topic may seem a bit confusing at first glance, but after I really thought about it, I found that there is indeed something to talk about.
The reason why the princes are also shocked is actually because they are frightened by the term "tianxia"... This is a taboo, a taboo for kings.
Zhao Xi said it all, but he didn't know if he made it clear. There was no way to explain it clearly. He still knew himself.
Regardless of whether you are a minister or a new scholar, no matter how you discuss it, it is not wrong if you do not violate taboos.
I just set a direction and clarify the pros and cons, so I should have made it clear.
He had finished speaking, but the gentlemen were stunned, or they could be said to be thinking.
In fact, I was really stunned.
If the officials say this, it would be considered treason.
"Actually, you may really be a little presumptuous. Fan Lao once said: Worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness. It is the same as the subject of the official family."
Compared to others, Ouyang Xiu focused more on academics.
When the official finished speaking, he thought of "Yueyang Tower" written by Mr. Fan. Isn't the meaning of the official a condensation of Mr. Fan?
What kind of world the world is like is not something that should be judged by ministers. Putting aside these things, if you have the concept of worrying about the world's worries first and enjoying the world's happiness later, you will not be confused by the title.
How could you forget this? When Zhao Xijing and Ouyang Xiu said this, it was regrettable.
With Lao Fan standing in front of him, there was really no need for him to explain so laboriously.
It is estimated that everyone present was frightened by the name of the question, so they had the idea of questioning me.
After being reminded by Ouyang Xiu, he understood instantly and the atmosphere relaxed.
The imperial examination is still going on, and the new scholars have nothing to do with their husband and the official family. When the questions are asked, they have to do it.
You guys are really worrying too much.
A new scholar only has the exam in mind. After seeing the questions, the first thing to do is to get to the point...that is, to figure out the purpose of the official questions.
This era is the only era after the definition of feudal society by later generations, in which people are not punished for their speech, at least not yet.
Zhao Xi really hopes to see a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming. Unfortunately, there must be rules in selecting scholars, and the rules must not be messed up or too shocking.
Even if Zhao Xi wanted to, the new scholar would have to cooperate.
Even when Zhao Xi was explaining to the ministers, he tried his best to express views that were in line with the reality of this era.
But in the end, Ouyang Xiu made such a move and directly determined the direction of recruiting soldiers.
Zhao Xi felt a little regretful and had many thoughts in his mind, but he still had to be limited by the times.
Huang Shang... this is the first name after the examination of the Political Affairs Hall. In fact, Zhao Xi is more optimistic about Wang.
I don’t know whether it was because of Wang Anshi or Wang’s sharp words, but Wang fell to third place.
Forget it, after being questioned by the husband and explaining himself, Zhao Xi no longer had the same emotions as when he asked the question.
Surrender? It doesn’t count. Compromise? It counts. After all, the general environment is like this, and some things simply cannot and cannot be done.
History has its own specific trajectory, and when it comes to change, Zhao Xi can only plant a seed and let the times sprout like he did in those industries.
