Zhu Yuanzhang said "hmm" and said, "What I and Liu Ji think, but Brother Xiao said, the so-called eight-legged essay is divided into several parts: breaking the topic, following the topic, starting the lecture, entering the topic, starting the stock, setting the question, setting the question, Chinese stock, back stock, and closing the stock, and closing the stock. The essence of the part is stock, Chinese stock, back stock, and closing the stock. Only in this way can we get more talents and select talents who are truly useful to our Ming Dynasty. I wonder what are the disadvantages of my method of using eight-legged essays to become an official?"

After saying it, Xiao Yun was completely let go. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the ruthless and unreasonable situation he expected. He was much more courageous. After thinking about it carefully, he said: "Your Majesty's eight-legged essays are from the imperial examination. It is naturally good to choose useful talents for our Ming Dynasty. However, I think that the eight-legged essays are too complicated and require candidates to pay attention to format and parallelism. And they can only use Zhu Xi's "Four Books Notes" to "make words on behalf of the sages" and cannot explain the meaning at all. The text is empty and empty, which restricts the candidate's thoughts.

There is nothing more than this. In this way, hundreds of years later, my students in the Ming Dynasty would inevitably learn this eight-legged essay cliché, thinking that the level of advancement is extremely illusory. Furthermore, since the eight-legged essay is a fixed format for the test text, the students of the imperial court, the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River naturally made a big statement. In this way, the books I read by my Ming Dynasty would inevitably be circulated among the people. Every household would recite the Four Books and Five Classics, and everyone would recite them as a treasure. In this way, the whole country would be full of words. Let me ask your Majesty, how can my culture and education in the Ming Dynasty be innovative and how can we reach the forefront of the world?"

He paused for a moment and looked at the expressions of the civil and military officials in the court. Fortunately, everyone was listening carefully. In fact, what Xiao Yun said was all known in the 21st century. His thoughts must not be solidified. Otherwise, this country and this nation would never have any idea of ​​development. However, when he said it in front of the civil and military officials in the court, it was undoubtedly a bombshell. He thought that the Anhui objection was everywhere, but surprisingly no one said anything.

This unexpectedly made him more courageous. After a little thought, he continued: "If the imperial court uses eight-legged officials, it will inevitably lead to the formalization of the imperial examination. The articles written by scholars are empty and they are dedicated to formalism, which has become a game of writing. In order to obtain fame and fortune, my scholars of the Ming Dynasty have specialized in studying and analyzing eight-legged essays. Over time, they have bound the thoughts of scholars. Cheng and Zhu Yili's study gradually became rigid under the guidance of the imperial examination system. A hundred years later, I am afraid that my Ming Dynasty will have no talents. Therefore, I am humble to ask Your Majesty to think twice!"

There was a silence in the Golden Palace. It was no wonder that they had. Since the Sui Dynasty held the imperial examination, after the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the perfection of the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination has long been a lifelong pursuit in the minds of scholars. Everyone thought that through the single-plank bridge of reading, they would make their mark, stand out, stand out, have the highest status, return home in glory, as long as they have books to study, the imperial examination can be taken, what is the literature, and what does it matter? What's more, the imperial examination has been used since the Sui Dynasty, and how could it be wrong to go through the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the seven hundred years of things? "

The hall was so immersed in terrible that even Xiao Yun felt that he had a big time this time!

Suddenly, a voice said, "Bastard! Is this awkward? This is extremely terrible-?" The voice was extremely loud and the silent Golden Palace was very loud. Everyone was stunned for a moment and searched in the crowd. Only then did they find that the speaker was Hu Weiyong, the second civil servant.

He cursed twice, walked out of the crowd, clasped his fists at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Master, I see that General Xiao is pure nonsense!

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Hu Weiyong, said without moving his expression, "Oh" and said, "What do you say about Hu Aiqing?"

Hu Weiyong had a rare opportunity to show off. He was overjoyed, his body straightened up, coughed twice, and said, "Since Emperor Wen of Sui issued an edict to be called "virtuous and kind". He ordered the official of the capital to be above the fifth rank, the general manager and the governor, to be the two imperial examination officers with "ambition and practice" and "clear and pacific" and "clear and pacific".

In April of the third year of Daye of Emperor Yang of Sui, he ordered civil and military officials who had duties to be "filial and respectful", "good morals and honest", "become a good person", "clean incompetence", "strong and upright", "being strong and upright", "being strong and upright", "being skilled in the constitution", "being skilled and beautiful in literature", "being talented and arrogant", "being arrogant and strong", and other imperial examinations. He also used "test strategies" to select talents. Since then, he has become the most effective way to select talents in all dynasties!

Everyone thought he had any constructive statements, but after all, some of the previous ones said, and some officials who were not incompatible with him couldn't help laughing.

Hu Weiyong fully developed the thick-skinned and dark-skinned academics, without any concern, and continued: "Although the Sui Dynasty died in the second generation, the Tang Dynasty followed the will of heaven to replace the Sui Dynasty. It was a great ruler in that era. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also said that the previous dynasty was selected by the prefectures and counties... As for Qi and Sui, it was unbearable... Therefore, it was established as the power of the prefectures and was appointed to the Ministry of Personnel. Since the Sui Dynasty, it has recruited people from all over the world, gathered in the capital and lived in spring and autumn, and the clouds have gathered together. Since then, the Tang Dynasty inherited the imperial examinations handed down from the Sui Dynasty and has been used, which shows that this imperial examination is beneficial to our Ming Dynasty but has no harm!"

Only then did everyone understand what Hu Weiyong was going to say, and many people nodded.

"Mr. Hu said it was reasonable. The Tang Dynasty scholars had more than 50 subjects including scholars, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Junshi, Mingfa, Ming character, Ming Suan, etc. Compared with our Ming eight-part essay, it was not more complicated, but the Tang Dynasty had a lot of talents! Dominating the world. Could it be that the Tang Dynasty's imperial examinations also imprisoned the students' thoughts. If so, I would rather my Ming Dynasty always imprisoned the students' thoughts and make my Ming as powerful as the Tang Dynasty!" Tu Jie also came out to agree with Hu Weiyong at this time.

However, his words were very beautiful and attracted many people to praise him.

"Your grandpa, when did I say that the imperial examination system is not good? Don't go off the topic, okay?" Xiao Yun cursed helplessly.

"According to my opinion, Brother Xiao's words did not mean to promote the imperial examination and be kind to the subject. He just wanted His Majesty to select talents without any restrictions. In the Tang Dynasty, the scholars not only looked at the quality of the imperial examination, but also allowed "public recommendation" and "public list" to facilitate the acquisition of talents with both talent and learning and talent for the country. They were not nerds, but real talents who could serve His Majesty with real talents and knowledge, and not a group of scholars who were full of saints' words and useless to the court to mislead the country!" In the front row, Duke of Wei, right prime minister of the Secretariat, and Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition, Xu Da stood out and clasped his fists.

"Just that's why the imperial examination was established in all dynasties to recruit talents, but because individuals have different expertise, they need to select talents according to the emperor's edict at any time. What we need in the Ming Dynasty was a variety of talents, and the subjects for the discipline should also be in accordance with the requirements. From the perspective of the Wei ministers, the real imperial examination should be diverse and all-encompassing. There are no less than hundreds of names for the disciplines in the Tang Dynasty. Common disciplines include Mingshu, Ming law, Mingshu, Three Histories, and Kaiyuan Li... These unconventional subjects have great freedom to the imperial examinations under certain regulations, making it easier to recruit talents. According to the Wei ministers, this is where the Tang Dynasty has a lot of talents!" Seeing someone supporting him, he would be a fool if he didn't stand up! Xiao Yun continued to clasp his fists and talk.
