My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 161 The Xu Family's Chance

No family better than Zhu's is allowed to exist!
This sentence can be regarded as stimulating Zhu Gaochi's assassin instinct.

That's right, those scholars who open their mouths open their mouths to Kong Shengren and shut their mouths to Meng Shengren, always use the saint's humble words to persuade the emperor... To put it bluntly, don't they just think that the saint is bigger than the emperor!

Don't talk about daddy, even if he is a preparatory emperor, it doesn't sound right to his ears.

Something must be done.

Zhu Gaochi thought and thought, and suddenly said: "Cousin, Father asked me to preside over the imperial examination."

"Imperial examination? Which one?" Xu Jingchang asked curiously.

"Two games!" Zhu Dazhuang bared his teeth and smiled triumphantly.

Zhu Di said earlier that there will be an Enke test, and there will be a formal test in the second year of Yongle.

In other words, within a few months, there will be two imperial examinations.

Zhu Di actually gave Zhu Gaochi the power of the two imperial examinations!

Xu Jingchang suddenly didn't know what to say... No one can compare with the kiss.

He has worked so hard, but he has to think behind closed doors for a month.When he arrived at Fatty Zhu's place, he won two imperial examinations without doing anything!

This is not an exam, it is clearly training party members!
Zhu Di, you are not too old, is it really okay to delegate power like this?
After observing for so long, Xu Jingchang can be regarded as seeing clearly that Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang are still very different...Zhu Yuanzhang pays attention to everything, works tirelessly, takes care of everything, and does everything by himself.

But Zhu Di is different, he likes power but not management.

He threw out most of the government affairs.

For example, finances and taxes were given to Xia Yuanji, and personnel affairs were given to Jian Yi.The rest of the government affairs are also shared by each other.

Zhu Di sat firmly on the dragon chair, supervised the activities of all parties, and conceived his grand project.

The father of the dog is like this, Zhu Gaochi can only accept the power with tears.

When will Zhu Di lead the army to go out and officially become the general of the Peking University, the world will be decided by Fatty Zhu.

Xu Jingchang suddenly realized that it seemed that he should have a good chat with Da Zhuang, maybe he could do what Zhu Di couldn't.

"Do you want to use the imperial examination to make some articles?"

Zhu Gaochi chuckled, saying nothing.

You are the only one who can do things!
Sorry, I will too!
Zhu Gaochi said directly: "I was wondering if I could add Song's unorthodox views to this imperial examination?"

Xu Jingchang was naturally happy, "Very well, let's do it! Zhu Xi spent his entire life arguing that the Song Dynasty was orthodox, but if we deny the Song Dynasty, it is tantamount to overthrowing Zhu Zi, and the foundation of Neo Confucianism has been shaken, and the rest will be easy."

Xie Jin opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just sighed. They want to establish a new set of knowledge, and it is necessary to challenge Zhu Zi.

It’s just that I didn’t expect that when I read Zhu Zi’s books and read Zhu Zi’s interpretation of the classics when I was young, every word should be engraved in my heart.

But now he wants to overthrow Zhu Zi with his own hands. Does this count as treason, deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors?

Seeing Jin's hesitation, Xu Jingchang couldn't help laughing and said, "Bachelor Xie, when he was just studying and learning, it's good to put a god statue there. It's good to have a goal and be brave and diligent. To kill God!"

"Kill God?" Xie Jin was taken aback.

"It's just to smash this god statue, surpass him, go further than him, and build a more stalwart god statue... We can't stand still and circle around in a small circle. You don't want to be a great talent for the rest of your life, right?"

Isn't it good to be a great talent?

Of course not!
If you can be a talented person when you are young, it is not bad.But when it reaches a certain level, it is necessary to achieve a kind of knowledge. It will spread its branches and leaves among scholars, and it will have countless fans.

Usually this kind of person is called Hongru!

Xie Jin's heart was beating wildly. If one day he could smash the statue of Zhu Zi and replace it with his own, then he would have no regrets in this life...

"I understand, thank you Ding Guogong for your guidance."

Xie Jin thought for a while and said: "His Royal Highness, I plan to write an article first, explaining the unorthodox Song Dynasty, and then distribute it to all the candidates who came to Beijing, let them discuss it openly, let them speak out, and build up the momentum first. .”

Zhu Gaochi nodded again and again, "Okay, I will issue it in my name, and give the big guys a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, which is considered a meeting gift."

Fatty Zhu really knows how to behave. Anyone who takes the exam in Beijing will receive a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Xie Jin's article, and some precautions for the exam.

It's a little reminder before the exam.

It just shows the prince's concern. As for the money, let Zhao Wang pay it.Anyway, he had printed so many pamphlets and made a lot of money from the court, so it was only natural for him to help now.

If Zhu Gaosui dares to be disobedient, please give him a fist.

Zhu Dazhuang was also going too far.

It was Yao Guangxiao, who thought over and over again, and then said, "Don't be too eager for quick success... Enke is the one who puts the two exams first, right?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded, "Indeed."

Yao Guangxiao said: "Let's see, Enke is the emperor's grace, His Highness is in charge, so naturally he can be more relaxed, but it is a serious test, which is unusual. If it makes a mess, it will lose the face of the court."

Zhu Gaochi was startled, and nodded quickly, "Thank you, Master, for your reminder, I understand."

Yao Guangxiao's cautiousness was not unexpected.

Selecting officials through the imperial examination is almost the last trump card for civil servants.

As long as the imperial examination is still there, and the road of imperial examination can be passed to achieve a class leap, scholars can bear it.

To be honest, the Yuan Dynasty just didn't know how to play, and an imperial examination was made intermittently, from time to time.If the imperial examinations can be conducted seriously and the hearts of the scholars can be firmly won, maybe the Yuan Dynasty will also be an infinitely beautiful holy dynasty without a faint king!

Xu Jingchang thought of this, and he felt more and more that he wanted to make some noise on the imperial examination.

"Enke really needs to select some talents, and it needs to be able to compete with other people's imperial examinations. After all, the exam is only the first level. After entering the officialdom, if you don't have the ability, you will be dismissed." Xu Jingchang muttered to himself.

The other three listened, but also frowned, and there was no good solution.

Even the imperial examinations of the imperial court are not full of talents in every subject.

What's more, some people don't even bother to participate in this kind of Enke, and Zhu Gaochi is planning to make trouble... It is conceivable that the princes in the court will find ways to prevent it and add chaos.

Overtly, secretly... Even after entering the official position, these people's official careers will not be too smooth. The official side, and the official department... don't even need Jian Yi to take action. up.

Xu Jingchang thought about it for a long time, but he was a little disappointed. It was just an Enke.

It would be too optimistic to think that relying on Enke this time to turn the sky upside down.

The things that people have accumulated for thousands of years are not so easy to deal with.

The big guys discussed it for a while, but still had no clue... Yao Guangxiao went back to the temple, Zhu Gaochi had to go to discuss with Zhu Di, and Xie Jin also went to write an article.

Everyone left, only Xu Jingchang was left.

He hugged his knees and thought silently.

The two exams are next to each other... Those who are good candidates who are confident that they can pass the imperial examination will probably not participate in Enke. at the county level.

Moreover, this Enke is somewhat out of the ordinary, not on the right path... In this case, the only way to fight poison with poison is to fight poison with fire.

Xu Jingchang thought about it for a long time, and suddenly remembered a joke he had said at the beginning, or just get those masters out and let them come to take the exam...not only the masters, but also the small officials of the yamen, the book office...First of all, they Proficient in government affairs, writing is not bad.

It's just that due to various circumstances, he failed the imperial examination.

Give them a chance now, and these people will definitely be willing to make a name for themselves.

Although Enke was close, it was also their only choice.

Secondly, this group of people has also been in the officialdom for so many years, more or less, and they have a bit of fighting ability, which must be much better than those ordinary scholars.

Xu Jingchang immediately asked Huang Xiaoru to be called over, and when he told him, Huang Xiaoru smiled wryly, "Mr. Ding, you are trying to snatch someone from a humble servant!"

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes at him, "Look at your prospects, if your subordinates passed Enke and then climbed to a high position, they might be able to promote you. Even if you can't climb up, it's better for the big guys to take care of each other than to be alone ah!"

Huang Xiaoru's eyes widened immediately, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "I'll do it now, I'll do it now!"

Then Xu Jingchang called Wu Shan again, "You have also been an official in Yingtian for many years. You must know that there are many clerks in each yamen? They are the kind who have no fame but rich experience."

Wu Shan nodded, "This is really too much. Take the Ministry of Household Affairs as an example. There are thirteen clean-up departments, and each clean-up department has only a few people. Can they really calculate the accounts of a province? Lean on the people below. To be honest, if the adults test them with nine chapters of arithmetic, I reckon that many people will not be able to settle accounts."

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Very well, now you go to mobilize the scribes of all ministries, from any yamen, to participate in Enke... Tell them, if you want to serve others for the rest of your life, or want to get ahead, it's up to you!"

Wu Shanxin said, is there still a choice?

Working in the yamen, being called around by others, only I know the aggrievedness.

Now that you have the opportunity, how can you not risk your life?

From this point of view, Enke is going to be lively this time around.

Wu Shan thought for a while, then murmured: "Mr. Dingguo, I suddenly remembered that this time, Enke and Xungui's children can also participate. I wonder what your lord's arrangement is?"

"Xungui's son? Can you?" Xu Jingchang really didn't know.

Wu Shan smiled and said, "My lord, have you forgotten? The Emperor Taizu let the noble children enter the Imperial College to study. Isn't it a matter of course for the supervising students to take the imperial examination! By the way, your lord didn't go to study?"

Xu Jingchang blinked, "I think I did, but I had a stomachache at that time, so I didn't go."

Wu Shan's face turned black. My kid doesn't like to go to school, so he uses this as an excuse.

Sure enough, bear children are all the same.

Xu Jingchang was startled, but suddenly jumped up, he had another idea.

Xu Jingchang didn't care about Wu Shan anymore, and rushed directly to Xu's mansion, "Uncle, call your precious son out."
