Chapter 328 Emperor Yuan Fu and Ke Dao

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Even though he had lived in the Ming Dynasty for more than a year and had been in the capital for several months, Zhao Hao was still too far away from the top of the Ming Dynasty.

    Without historical data to support it, he naturally had no way of exploring what happened during the palace examination in the second year of Longqing.

    ¡°Besides, that¡¯s not something he should worry about.

    But he could surmise that the large-scale fluctuations in test scores were definitely not caused by the quality of the articles.

    Because when grading papers for the examination, every Chinese-style paper has been reviewed and considered three to five times by the co-examiner and the chief examiner.  The writing skills that can be selected are all good, and the ranking is basically reasonable.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Basically, the Chinese candidates know nothing about state affairs, and most of the articles they write for the palace examination are parrots. The marking officers basically judge the candidates based on their writing skills.

    ??In addition, the grading of the palace examination only lasts for two days.  Therefore, the examiners have neither the ability nor the need to change the rankings assigned by the examination.

    Therefore, it can be concluded that it is caused by factors other than words.

    And because there are too many people involved in the change, it cannot be caused by someone's connections and connections If there can be so many moves, and the connections can be made through the national talent promotion ceremony, then the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed.  It's almost over.

    There is only one reason - the policy point of view!

    Usually, for the sake of safety, Chinese practitioners will adopt the popular views in official circles as the core of their countermeasures.

    ¡°Because they haven¡¯t entered the political arena yet, the scoring bosses won¡¯t laugh at them and follow everyone else¡¯s words.

    On the contrary, rash surprises will leave a bad impression on the big guys as being unstable and sensationalizing. Therefore, most of the opinions in the policy volume are clich¨¦s from the general public.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It would make sense if the admitter had a sudden idea, and hoped to pass on some views which are contrary to the general environment, by praising and criticizing the imperial examination policy

    ??~~

    After making a bold guess, it¡¯s time to carefully verify it.

    First of all, in this year¡¯s palace examination questions, Emperor Longqing asked a total of two questions-one is how to eliminate refugees, and the other is how to resist foreign humiliation.

    Mr. Zhao said there were three, naturally to deceive others.  No matter how good he was at calculating, he still couldn't guess both of them, leaving no room for error.

    That¡¯s unscientific.

    Zhao Hao sat on the rocking chair next to the stove with a jacquard blanket on his knees.

    Shaking slightly, he closed his eyes and recalled the top strategies in his memory.

    Zhao Hao wanted to refine their arguments and see what different views they hid.

    ?? Especially Luo Wanhua, who actually made the big guys who marked the exams ignore the rules for many years and put the crown of number one on a Chinese-style candidate who was at the end of the crane.

    After carefully reviewing Luo Zhuangyuan¡¯s lengthy article of more than 4,000 words in his mind, Zhao Hao quickly extracted the key points.

    First of all, Luo Wanhua put forward a fairly insightful statement regarding the refugee problem of "there are many idlers and few return to farming":

    The first is, 'If you want to drive all the people in the world to work hard, there is no other way but to pay attention to grain and millet.  ¡¯

    The so-called "Gui Gu Su" comes from Chao Cuo's "On Gui Su Shu".  The general idea is to raise food prices to increase farmers' income.  When farmers' incomes increase and their enthusiasm for farming increases, they will naturally be willing to go back to farming.

    The second is to propose clearing land all over the world and cracking down on donations so that powerful families cannot evade taxes, thereby sharing the heavy burden of farmers.

    This is what Zhang Juzheng implemented nationwide ten years later. It can be seen that Luo Zhuangyuan has two brushes.

    Third, restore the salt law enacted by Taizu - merchants transport grain to the border in exchange for salt. In this way, grain prices will naturally rise, and the court can also collect salt taxes to replace the exploitation of farmers, achieving the effect of increasing income and reducing burdens on the people.

    On the second question, how to resist the Tartars.

    Luo Wanhua proposed a package plan to 'change the status quo of emphasizing culture over military affairs', 'spend three years to retrain the army', 'manage finances to accumulate strength by collecting salt', and 'then look for opportunities for a decisive battle'.

    It actually is generally in line with Zhang Juzheng¡¯s ideas.

    This made Zhao Hao suddenly feel enlightened - it seems that this paper was recommended by Zhang Idol.

    ¡®Idols are worthy of being idols, and they promote talents in an eclectic way.  ¡¯ Zhao Hao suddenly changed his tune and no longer thought who was messing around.

    Can idol affairs be called nonsense?  That's a lot of foresight.

    However, according to Zhao Hao¡¯s memory of the rules of the palace examination, the paper reader can only recommend a dozen test papers, and finally decide on the top ten, at least the top tenThree people chose the emperor.

    Jinshi are the disciples of the emperor. How can the emperor leave all the steps to the record reader?

    So what did Emperor Longqing see in Luo Wanhua?

    Zhao Hao thought about it and laughed dumbly.

    At the beginning of Luo Zhuangyuan's paper, he shouted, "I heard that the emperor must make clear decisions and act in parallel, and then he can gain the real merits of the world." In the penultimate paragraph, he shouted again, "Please make your Majesty's principles arbitrary, and the king's power, with a bang like a thunderous drum."  It is in the sky, and its power is unpredictable'!

    What emperor wouldn¡¯t love such thoughtful words?

    Thinking back to the current calls in the government and the public for 'the Holy Emperor rules from the top down' and 'entrusting power to the cabinet and handing over government affairs to the six ministries', it is not surprising at all why Emperor Longqing made Luo Wan the number one scholar.

    ??~~

    I recalled several other papers, although the answers to the questions were different.  But what all those at the top have in common is that they all forgot to shout, "Return the power to the Lord, and ask Your Majesty to act decisively"!

    As he thought deeply, Zhao Hao's ideas gradually became clear.

    It seems that the variable lies with Zhang Juzheng and Emperor Longqing.

    Judging from the fact that Hou Touguan almost completely rejected the palace examination rankings when selecting Shujishi, Mr. Xu Ge should be very dissatisfied with this.

    Because Shujishi are jointly selected by the chief minister and the bachelor of Hanlin Academy.  Considering the relationship between Zhao Zhenji and Xu Jie.  It can be roughly said that the candidates for Shujishi were all decided by Mr. Xu Ge.

    It is normal for Mr. Xu Ge to be dissatisfied, because the weapon he used to defeat Yan Song and force Gao Gong to retreat was Yan Guan.

    ???????????????? One thing that officials have been doing is to restrict the emperor¡¯s power and freedom¡ª¡ª

    Some of these are reasonable, such as admonishing the emperor not to let eunuchs take over their affairs to avoid recurrence of the Wuzong castration rebellion.

    But more advice is just making trouble and finding faults.  For example, the emperor was not allowed to return to Yudi to reminisce, the emperor was forbidden to go to the suburbs of Beijing to relax and play, the emperor was suspected of having the intention of traveling at public expense and he was forbidden to go to Mount Tai to worship, etc., and there was a strong desire to keep the emperor in captivity.

    Even if the emperor had not slept with the queen for a long time, he would openly talk about it in the memorial, which made Long Qing embarrassed in front of the world.

    In addition, Gao Gong was the one who was forced out of office by a group of officials who spoke out. Emperor Longqing paid no attention to these "just men" who talked about the Constitution of Heaven but paid no attention to internal and external troubles. They only focused on their own every move and made irresponsible remarks.  Naturally disgusted.

    In the struggle between the emperor and Yan Guan, Xu Jie undoubtedly sided with the latter.

    ?????????????????????? The latter is a hound that he raises, so of course the owner must protect it.

    In July last year, Emperor Longqing issued an order to the cabinet to conduct an inspection of the Kedao.  However, in order to protect Yan Guan, Mr. Xu Ge remonstrated and stopped the inspection.

    It can be said that Emperor Longqing, who had just ascended the throne for more than a year, was completely controlled by the civil service group headed by Mr. Xu Ge, and could not accomplish anything he wanted to do.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? That is why the emperor is making trouble in this palace examination, to promote those who are willing to maintain the emperor¡¯s authority, and to put those who shout ¡®The Holy Emperor will rule from the top down¡¯ to the back of the queue?

    Even if you still can't help but Yan Guan, can you use this method to express your position and let out a sigh of relief?

    ¡®Eighty percent of it is like this.  ¡¯ Zhao Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that he finally figured it out.

    ??Then how to teach the disciples how to make a fuss will be a matter of course.
