At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 510 The New Court

The Six Departments and Nine Ministers of the Ming Dynasty have a long history. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were six departments, namely Situ, Sima, Sikong, Sikou, Da Xingren, and Zongbo. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they evolved into six departments of officials, householders, rites, soldiers, punishments, and workers.

The development of Jiuqing is different. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it refers to the nine departments of Fengchang, Langzhongling, Weiwei, Taipu, Dali Siqing, Dianke, Zongzheng, Zhisu Internal History and Shaofu. In the Ming Dynasty, only Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taipu Temple and Honglu Temple remained.

Together with the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Tongzhengshisi, it is basically the entire power structure of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Hanlin Academy, it is the cultural and historical research and talent reserve institution of the Ming Dynasty. There are about [-] new scholars in each imperial examination. Generally speaking, the top [-] will stay in the Imperial Academy, copying and writing every day, accumulating experience, wait for the opportunity.

With the rise of the Academy of Sciences, the status of the Hanlin Academy is declining day by day, 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 difficult.

With a swipe of his pen, Zhu Qizhen directly changed the Imperial Academy into the Institute of Literature and History.

Then write the two big characters of the cabinet, and put a cross on the back.

When Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Ministry of Education, the descendants of the Zhu family must not forget our roots, and we are done!

Yu Qian continued to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War, Cao Nai served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Kuang Ye had already handed in three resignations.

Peng Qing needs to set up a new Maritime Governor's Office, which is at the same level as the six ministries, and set up consulates in overseas countries and send officials there for a long time.

The biggest change in the Academy of Sciences is that it needs to separate the disciplines related to the other six departments and set them up under the names of the six departments, such as the Agricultural Research Institute and the Computing Research Institute of the Ministry of Households; the Civil Engineering Research Institute and Water Conservancy Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry; the weaponry research of the Ministry of War So wait.

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

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

Zhu Qizhen looked through it carefully and felt very satisfied.

The Academy of Sciences is reliable in doing things, taking almost all aspects into consideration, and all processes are very perfect.

"Yes, just press this!"

Belin looked respectful and asked, "Your Majesty, do you really not need to send a cabinet draft?"

"No, you can directly draw up the imperial decree and take it to the chief of ceremonies for printing."

"I have the guts to speak out, this seems...not very good..."

Zhu Qizhen stared, dissatisfied: "I told you to go, you go, no need to say anything!"

Belin swallowed her saliva, and said again: "This time Enke's question maker..."

"It goes without saying, of course it is from the Academy of Sciences! You go back to pick people now and set up the Enke proposition team. No matter who is selected, once selected, they need to be temporarily isolated from the outside world and guarded by Jin Yiwei. I will send people three meals a day Go and send it until the day of the exam!"

"Before that, if someone leaves without authorization, they will be punished according to the test questions for leaking secrets!"

Belin wondered: "Are they all selected from the Academy of Sciences?"

"You are the chief examiner, you decide!"

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

"I've said it all, you decide, just report to me for approval!"

"Yes, I will arrange it now."

Belin felt the pressure, more than ever.

When the Academy of Sciences was first established, he resisted all opinions, acted independently, and dared to confront everyone, but there was no pressure at that time.

Now it is different, the emperor has promoted the Academy of Sciences to an unprecedented height through continuous reform.

The imperial examination is the foundation of the imperial court. Whoever presides over the imperial examination is the most powerful person in the imperial court.

Belin thought about it, but said: "Your Majesty, there is really no need to discuss with the cabinet?"

Zhu Qizhen said lightly: "I have withdrawn the cabinet, and I will announce it to the world tomorrow!"

"Ah? Really withdrew?"

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

"That benefactor..."

"Establish the Maritime Governor's Office, with Peng Qing's family serving as the governor and minister, in charge of maritime trade, shipping, diplomacy and consulates of overseas countries."

Bellin pondered hard for a while, and then said: "I understand!"

The emperor is determined to make big things happen, and no one can stop him this time.

At present, every reform is good. The only problem is that the steps are too big. I don't know if it will be a mess.

If another case of treason and regicide is forced out, the mountains and rivers will be in turmoil and blood will flow like rivers.

In the early morning of the next day, the imperial court issued three edicts in succession.

The first way is to investigate the case of Sanyang's rebellion. More than [-] officials were involved in the case.

According to statistics, there are more than [-] people involved in the case, which shocks everyone.

The second edict, the restructuring of the imperial court, the abolition of the cabinet, the addition of the Maritime Governor's Office, and the changes of the Imperial Academy and the Academy of Sciences, etc., are written clearly and clearly.

This news was too shocking, and for scholars, it almost changed the sky.

However, the third edict shocked them even more.

Kai Enke, and, this time Enke's way is very different from before.

As the most important eight-legged essay, it has become an ordinary classification. Others, such as arithmetic, engineering, water control and road construction, and what's more, there is also a martial arts, military deduction and horseback archery.

When the imperial edict was issued, scholars all over the world felt as if they were mourning their wives, wanting to cry without tears.

These three edicts undoubtedly cut off the roots of scholars!
From then on, the order of the world will be re-established, and the contacts, wealth, and relationship networks accumulated by the gentry for generations...all will be wiped out and restarted.

Guishan Academy in Wuxi, Jiangsu.

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

"Sir, a letter from the capital!"

Sun Changhe's face immediately turned unhappy. He didn't see me giving a lecture, so why do you have to read the letter now?
"let it go!"

"Yes!"

The servant didn't dare to say anything, put down the envelope, turned and left.

"... To be erudite, to interrogate, to think carefully, to discriminate clearly, and to practice earnestly, this is the golden mean. Today's lesson will end here first. I heard that the emperor wants to open Enke. You need to study hard and strive to be on the list. .”

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

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

After killing so many people, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River were almost uprooted, so cruel!
Fortunately, I didn't get involved in these bad things in recent years, but devoted myself to teaching here, but escaped a catastrophe.

Open the second envelope...

"what!"

Sun Changhe jumped up straight away, dripping with sweat, with a terrified expression on his face.

To abolish the cabinet and castrate the Imperial Academy, this...

This is digging the roots of Daming!
"Crazy, the emperor is crazy..."

Sun Changhe muttered in his mouth, tremblingly opened the third copy...

Pfft!
This time, the tense nerves couldn't resist, his eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground.

"Sir, sir!"

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

Xia Shaopeng, Cen Guangyao, Wei Hao, etc. are all his students, and they have already won the Juren, and they 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 my family that there seemed to be a big change in the court. I wanted to ask my husband for advice, but I saw him fainted on the ground."

"It's over, Daming is over!"

Sun Changhe couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said: "Look at it, the news is true, it's an imperial edict issued by the emperor himself, take a look..."

Everyone had just seen it, and everyone was silent.

"There are traitors, there are traitors!"

Sun Changhe cried with his head in his arms. These news were really sadder than his father's death.

Xia Shaopeng said: "What do you think about this, sir?"

Sun Changhe wiped away his tears and said: "It must be the villain who persecuted Zhongliang. The emperor misled the slander and abolished the cabinet."

"Who is the villain in Mr.'s mouth?"

"Who else could it be? It must be the people from the Academy of Sciences. It's not clearly written in the imperial edict that this year's Enke is under the full responsibility of the Academy of Sciences. These people just know some strange skills, how can they be put to good use?"

Xia Shaopeng nodded, and said: "I think so too, the emperor handed over the imperial examination to these people, how can we still have a bright future?"

Cen Guangyao immediately said: "Brother Xia's words are true, do you want me to put down the Four Books and Five Classics and mess with those messy things?"

"If you think too much, even if you learn it well, others may not be able to use it!"

"What do you mean?"

"Once the emperor and the courtiers, the Academy of Sciences has risen, and it must promote its own people. Traditional scholars like me have become remnants of the previous dynasty. It is too late for them to suppress them. How can they be reused?"

"Then just watch these people harm the country and the people?"

"Stop arguing..."

Sun Changhe waved his hand, and said weakly: "The emperor believes in slander, I will have a more difficult time in the future, so I should save my energy and think about the future."

Cen Guangyao said: "Why don't I wait for a joint letter to ask the emperor to ban the New Deal!"

"Don't think about it. Now that the cabinet has been withdrawn, and there is no one in the court to back it up, who should I write the letter to?"

"Of course it's for the emperor!"

"Don't be stupid, the emperor can't see it at all, and even if you see it, it's useless. How can we compare with those villains in the Academy of Sciences every day?"

Everyone was arguing endlessly, so they had to wait for Sun Changhe to speak.

"Hey, you are still too young..."

Sun Changhe shook his head and sighed, and said: "How can you become a master if you are frizzy when encountering things?"

"What the teacher taught me is that I also ask the teacher to give me some advice."

"The old man has just thought about it carefully. The emperor has issued three edicts at a time. At this time, it is definitely not good to touch the emperor's bad luck. It is better to retreat."

"How to advance with retreat?"

Sun Changhe slowly spit out two words: "Don't take the exam!"

"Sir, you mean... I will refuse the exam?"

"Only you few are not enough, we need to unite all the students in the world to let the emperor know the consequences of doing so!"

Everyone thought about it carefully, and it seemed that only this method would work.

You killed so many people, the court is full of vacancies, we don't go to the exam, what do you do?
When no one is available in the court, the emperor will know that he has made a mistake and can only compromise at that time!
"Mr. Gaoming, I will stop the exam!"

"Students will write letters to their classmates. The petition is powerful, and they will surely support it."

"I have a few classmates and friends in Shandong. I had an appointment to go to Beijing to rush for the exam together. I don't know what they think when they see the essays in the meeting. I will also write a book!"

Everyone expressed their support for the cancellation of the exam, and contacted classmates and friends from all over the place to make things worse.

Cen Guangyao seemed to think of something, and said, "Sir, the student has a message!"

Sun Changhe asked, "What's the matter?"

Cen Guangyao said: "The predecessor of Guishan Academy was Donglin Academy founded by Yang Shi in the first year of Zhenghe in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was very famous at that time. Mister, how about restoring the name of Donglin Academy and recruiting students from all over the world?"

Sun Changhe thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's very good. Donglin Academy advocates reading, lecturing, and patriotism, which is the noble character of our scholars. Now there are traitors in the dynasty, we can only do good for ourselves, but we cannot help the world at the same time. What a pity."

After everyone discussed it, they restored the name of Donglin Academy and spread the news.

The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River had already suffered a devastating blow, and they were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe. They already felt hopeless in this life. Now that they heard that the great Confucian Sun Changhe rebuilt Donglin College, they seemed to have found their destination in life, and they all came.

In just one month, the number of students in Donglin College has reached [-], and this number is still increasing day by day. The college's buildings have long been insufficient.

Fortunately, everyone is not short of money. After all, they are scholars. Who can afford to study without money?
Therefore, the latecomers set up cottages directly outside the academy, and gradually, a market town was formed here.

Even hawkers who set up tea stalls and sell watermelons came to join in the fun.

After sunset, the two stall owners appeared in a hidden house at the same time.

The two of them compiled what they saw and heard in the past few days into a secret letter, and then sent it all the way to the capital through Jin Yiwei's special channel.

When Zhu Qizhen read the letter, his face was very complicated, and he couldn't tell whether he was laughing or crying.

Donglin Academy unexpectedly appeared ahead of schedule!
These people directly came to a cold violence to vent their dissatisfaction with the court.

Do you want to... take it all in one pot?
It's very easy to get these people. Jin Yiwei went to arrest people directly, one counts as one, and there must be no innocent ones.

But the problem is, they are not breaking the law, how to catch them?
He is a great Confucian, so it is not against the law to give lectures!

There are also those students, it is their own business whether to take the exam or not, their legs grow on their own, so what if they don't want to take the exam?
It cannot be said that those who do not participate in the imperial examinations will be arrested...

This makes no sense!
In desperation, Zhu Qizhen had no choice but to let it go for the time being. I don't believe that if you like to take the exam or not, among the tens of thousands of people in Ming Dynasty, can't you pick out hundreds of capable people?

If you have the kindness, don't take the test for the rest of your life, whoever takes the test will be the grandson!
