I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 319: The court is empty, and the imperial examination is ahead of schedule!
After settling the matter of Jinling Yangtze River Bridge.

Zhu Yunxuan began to discuss the matter of selecting scholars through the imperial examination. After all, the court was now empty and many things could not be advanced.

Before that, Zhu Yunxuan had to hold a small imperial examination.

It is used to supplement talents, but these talents can be used to handle some simple things. If you really want to be a minister of the Ming Dynasty, you will need more sophisticated talents.

And if we talk about the greatest talent in the Ming Dynasty.

He must be an imperial examination scholar who came out from thousands of troops!
Although these people are not entirely useful, most of them are smart people, and there will inevitably be many talents emerging.

"This time the imperial examination will be selected, Gu intends to advance it."

"Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is thirsty for talents. What month do you think is the best time to select officials for the imperial examination?"

Zhu Yunzhen asked.

He didn't want to be alone in this matter.

Because he did not know the actual situation of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, but the ministers who passed the imperial examination knew it very well.

The ideas and regulations that came out naturally are also more realistic.

This is also Zhu Yunzhen's way of employing people.

He is responsible for setting the general direction and then leaving it to the right person to handle it, while Zhu Yunzhen is responsible for correcting mistakes when they make mistakes.

After all, Zhu Yunzhen has the most perfect answer in his heart.

But how to get to the answer still requires Zhu Yunxu and many ministers to brainstorm and think together.

But this happened suddenly.

The ministers discussed it for a long time, but could not make up their minds.

There was endless debate.

After all, on the one hand, the time for the scholars from all over the world to rush to the capital must be taken into account, and on the other hand, the accommodation, safety, preparation and other aspects of the scholars must also be taken into consideration.

Everyone held their own opinions and could not determine an accurate time.

"Zhan Shangshu, what do you think?"

Zhu Yunxuan first named Zhan Wei, the Minister of Rites. This person was in charge of the Ministry of Rites and must have some ideas.

After all, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the imperial examination.

Since the introduction of the imperial examination in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the imperial examination in the early Tang Dynasty was handled by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Shangshu Province.

Since the first year of Xuanzong's reign, the Ministry of Rites has been in charge, and it has remained unchanged in successive dynasties.

The same is naturally true for Ming Dynasty.

Zhan Wei had to stand up after being called out by Zhu Yunxu. This man was cunning and cunning. If Zhu Yunxu hadn't called him out, he probably wouldn't have stood up and expressed his opinion.

But now there is no way to shirk it.

So he had to say: "Your Highness, the Imperial Examinations of the Ming Dynasty are usually held between April and May."

"The Chinese New Year has just passed. If it is brought forward, I think the most conservative time is to hold it in early March."

"But I think the Ming Dynasty today is different from the Ming Dynasty in the past."

"Every place is connected by national highways. Even the most remote places are only half a month away."

"Therefore...I think the time should be set at the beginning of February!"

Zhan Wei first said a conservative time, March.

But after seeing some dissatisfaction on Zhu Yunzhen's face, he immediately changed his mind and set the time in February.

This is already the earliest time he thinks.

Only then did he see the satisfied look on Zhu Yunzhen's face, and Zhan Wei just let go of his worries. He had been a minister for a long time, especially a minister.

Now Zhan Wei just wants to be able to retire with peace of mind.

Just take care of your life and have a good death.

He didn't dare to offend Zhu Yunzhen at all, for fear that he would also end up like Fang Xiaoru.

But after Zhan Wei proposed February, another minister came forward to express different opinions.

"Your Highness."

"I think the beginning of February is really too early! It will be difficult to arrange many things!"

"The imperial examination is related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty!"

"You should think carefully! I think it should be postponed for another ten days, preferably in mid-February!" "There won't be many mistakes!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yunxuan thought carefully about it, even though he was deeply impressed by holding the imperial examination immediately in early February, that is, one month later.

But this month is a bit too anxious.

Although Zhu Yunxuan was anxious, he also knew that he could not eat hot tofu if he was anxious. The more anxious he was, the less he would get what he wanted.

So after weighing it for a moment.

He just made up his mind and said, "This makes sense."

"The imperial examination will be held in mid-February! The Ministry of Rites will be fully responsible for this matter. Don't let me down!"

Zhan Wei, the Minister of Rites, suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Don't dare to make any mistakes.

He quickly leaned over and took the order.

But what Zhu Yunxu had to do was not over yet. The time was set, but this time, Zhu Yunxu planned to make an exception when he held the imperial examination.

Zhu Yunzhen did not want to discuss this matter with the courtiers.

I saw Zhu Yunxu saying: "I am announcing to the world that there is no upper limit on the number of scholars selected through the imperial examination this time!"

"Let Gu Gu come up with the questions himself!"

"Anyone who likes it can be a Jinshi!"

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

To put it bluntly, what Zhu Yunxian means is that as long as Zhu Yunxian is satisfied with the imperial examination selection this time, no matter how many people there are, he will select them all as Jinshi!
300 people are three hundred Jinshi.

500 people are five hundred Jinshi.

1000 people, that’s a thousand Jinshi!

There is no upper limit on the number of places!

As soon as this news comes out, I am afraid it will make the scholars all over the world go crazy and rush to the capital!

Many scholars who had given up the imperial examination rushed to the capital.

Just to get the title of Jinshi!

"Moreover! In this imperial examination, those who write brilliantly will be selected as scholars, those who write refined articles will be selected as scholars, and those who write practical articles will also be selected as scholars!"

"Measure talents and determine them, so that the Ming Dynasty will not have idle talents!"

At this moment, many ministers seemed to see countless scholars displaying their knowledge in order to be recognized by His Highness Bo Taisun.

The imperial examination is the lifeblood of scholars all over the world!
Zhu Yunzhen may have annoyed countless Confucian scholars because of his Neo-Confucianism, but now that the restrictions on the imperial examination have been relaxed, countless scholars may be grateful.

In one fell swoop, His Highness the Grand Sun's image was changed in the minds of the scholars.

The Neo-Confucianism supported by Fang Xiaoru and others may now be completely swept into the dust!
"Taishun Rende!"

Naturally, the courtiers did not dare to object, otherwise they would be in trouble for all the scholars in the world, and they would be stabbed in the back!
Moreover, the source of power of civil servants is closely related to these scholars.

Naturally there is no objection.

After the matter of the imperial examination was settled, the officials of the Ministry of Rites began to make preparations in full swing.

First, officials were sent to inform the world.

Inform scholars from all over the Ming Dynasty that the imperial examination is ahead of schedule.

At the same time, arrangements were made for the venue, regulations, and guards for the imperial examination.

Everything must be in place.

And the days passed in such a tense but orderly time.

One message after another was spread to every corner of the Ming Dynasty.

And one piece of news was transmitted back to the capital from all corners of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunxuan's decision.

It was like detonating a huge explosive barrel!
Blast!

Shocked the entire Ming Dynasty!
Everyone began to pay attention to this unprecedented imperial examination!

Taisun once again set a precedent in the ages!
