Chapter 28 Telling History to Zhu Yuanzhang
Chapter 28 Telling History to Zhu Yuanzhang
The prince leads the cabinet?
"Okay." After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help but praise loudly.
"No wonder you are so arrogant. You are indeed a man of real ability."
What he was most satisfied with was not the cabinet system, but letting the prince lead the cabinet.
The so-called cabinet, he understood what it was about as soon as he heard it.
It is indeed a very excellent system, which perfectly solves the loopholes of the four auxiliary officers system.
But again, those who are close to the emperor naturally have power.
No matter how limited it is, the cabinet maester will inevitably have great power.
Letting Prince Zhu Biao lead the cabinet completely solved this problem.
This not only puts power in the hands of their father and son, but also gives Zhu Biao a bigger stage.
This method is great, it’s perfect.
The key is that this guy is sensible and knows what we are most worried about and what we most want to see.
The ideas we come up with can not only solve the problem, but also conform to our wishes.
This is a capable minister.
So he took Chen Jingke to discuss the cabinet system in detail.
At this time, his attitude towards Chen Jingke completely changed. Before, it was an awkward and considering tone, but now it became a discussion.
Chen Jingke explained his understanding of the cabinet system in detail.
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with some details, but disagreed with others.
But overall, he is quite satisfied with the cabinet system.
It wasn't until Chen Jingke had emptied out everything in his stomach that he said:
"You are a good boy. You will be able to assist our good grandson in the future."
Chen Jingke knew that he had probably passed Zhu Yuanzhang's assessment, and he said happily:
"Yes, I will do my best to assist my grandson."
Zhu Yuanzhang added: "It's just your temperament. You have to be humble. Sometimes you will suffer if you are too arrogant."
Chen Jingke knew immediately that what he said to Zhu Biao yesterday had reached his ears.
"Hehe, the boy is not crazy all the time, sometimes he is like this, sometimes like this."
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he was deliberately pretending to be stupid, but he didn't hate it.Who wouldn't like a well-informed and capable minister?
"We still have a question. I haven't been able to make up my mind. Please analyze it for us."
Chen Jingke immediately put away his smile and said seriously: "Your Majesty, please tell me."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What do you think of the imperial examination?"
Imperial Examination?
Chen Jingke suddenly realized when he thought that it was already the 15th year of Hongwu.
After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he held an imperial examination in the second year of Hongwu.
Then he discovered that the people recruited were basically low-scoring people with high scores, so he banned the imperial examination.
It was not until the end of the 15th year of Hongwu that he was forced to restart the imperial examination.
What persecuted him was not the officials in the court, nor the scholars in the world, but the lack of officials in the court.
With his anti-corruption methods, there are not enough officials to kill.
The Hu Weiyong case killed tens of thousands of people, including thousands of officials, and the Kongyin case killed hundreds more.
How many officials are there in total in the world?But isn’t it just that there is no one left to kill?
The Zhao Mao case broke out, and more than 60 vacancies appeared in the court again, but they have not been filled yet.
It’s not that I don’t want to fill it out, it’s just that I can’t find anyone who can use it.
This is the status quo.
Recruitment is a method, but it is not very easy to use. Recruiting one person occasionally is fine, but conscripting large numbers is like a joke.The recommendation method also has huge loopholes, which is equivalent to opening a back door for the powerful.
After thinking about it, he found that the imperial examination, which he looked down upon the most, was actually the best solution.
But he was unwilling to accept it. There were indeed too many mediocre people admitted to the imperial examination.
Can you think of a way to solve this problem?
He wanted to find someone to discuss it with, but after looking all over the government and the public, no one was suitable.
Either they are generals who don't know much about this stuff, and discussing with them is like playing the piano to an ox.
Either they are scholars, they will definitely agree with it 1 times.
Today I found that Chen Jingke is a good candidate for negotiation. This guy is a medical student.
It is also the grandson's imperial examination. In the future, he can become an official without taking the imperial examination.
It has no interest in the imperial examination or scholars.
The key point is that this guy is capable. He can think of such perfect things as the cabinet. He should also have different views on the imperial examination.
So the question was raised.
Thinking of this, Chen Jingke already had an idea in his mind.
He naturally supported the imperial examination system, which could be said to be the closest to a fair method of recruiting officials that could be thought of in ancient times.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had realized the advantages of the imperial examination, but was worried about the shortcomings of this system.
So what I have to do is to affirm this system, then point out its shortcomings and give some suggestions.
Regardless of whether these suggestions are adopted in the end, they can leave a good impression on Lao Zhu as a "capable person".
"Your Majesty, I think that although the imperial examination has many loopholes, it is indeed the closest to fair method of selecting scholars in thousands of years."
Zhu Yuanzhang already agreed with this point of view, but he still said calmly:
"Oh? Your evaluation of this method is so high? Tell us the reason behind it."
Chen Jingke knew that despite looking deep into the palace, there were few opportunities to show off his abilities, and he had to seize them.
Only by performing well today can you gain more say.
So he didn’t cover it up anymore and said:
"During the pre-Qin period, blood was very important, and most powerful officials were passed down from father to son. Even if there was a replacement, it would be from one noble to another."
Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously wanted to refute, but he realized it after thinking carefully.
This seems to be true in the history of the pre-Qin Dynasty. Even though there were many slaves and people of commoner origin, their ancestors were actually powerful, but their family fortunes fell into decline.
The true ancestors belong to the common people, but it seems that there really are none.
With this realization, he was even more surprised.
Is this guy going to tell me about history?
"Not only official positions, but also knowledge are reserved for the rich and powerful. Commoners are not qualified to be literate."
"Music can only be appreciated by the rich... That's why Confucius said that ritual and music have collapsed."
"Confucius taught without distinction, and opened a crack in the strict bloodline politics..."
"Qin Shang Yang's reform adopted the military merit system and completely broke the bloodline system."
"From now on, regardless of origin, as long as you go into battle and kill the enemy and achieve military merit, you can be an official or a knight."
"However, the military merit title system also has shortcomings. Many generals who have obtained military merit titles are not familiar with government affairs..."
"Moreover, there are many talented people among the people who are not good at fighting in battle, so they cannot obtain official positions through military merit, resulting in a large number of talented people not being used by the court."
"Then the examination system emerged. The most famous and influential one was the system of promoting filial piety and integrity pioneered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang was already shocked. He was actually telling me history.
But as a 12-year-old boy who studied medicine, how did he sort out this context?
study?
Even if you start learning from your mother's womb, there won't be enough time.
Is it possible that there really is someone who knows it from birth?
