Chapter 1773 : Qi family governs the country and the world
"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.
"Hey, it's not something I can decide whether I can change. I just hope that today's words will make future students suffer less and read more truly useful books, which is not in vain what I say today!"
"In February of the first year of the first year of Wu Zetian, the queen personally "asked the tribute people in Luocheng Palace"
In the second year of Chang'an, Wu Zetian, the second year of the Chang'an, AD. The candidates who received the Wu Ju came from the township tribute and were the main examination by the Ministry of War. The examination subjects include horse shooting, step shooting, flat shooting, horse rifle, weight-bearing and wrestling. "Those who have high grades are awarded an official, followed by a promotion."
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang used poetry as the standard for officialdom.
In the eighth year of Xining, Emperor Shenzong of Song ordered the abolition of poetry, essays, and the meaning of the ink was abolished. He used the meaning of the classics, and the principles of the ink to select scholars! He used the meaning of the Book of Songs, the Book of Books, the Book of Books, the Book of Zhou Li, the Book of Rites, the Analects of Confucius, and Mencius! All the imperial examinations in all dynasties stipulated the subjects of scholars, and used scientific examinations to obtain talents. Is the eight-part essay good or not? I don’t know whether the eight-part essay is good, but scholars in the world have imperial examinations to examine, books to read, and officials to do it. It is the words of a saint, and cultivate one's nature to cultivate one's nature to manage one's family and govern the country and pacify the world. Why can't they be implemented? "Hu Weiyong suddenly made a righteous and righteous way.
He is now a political affairs officer in the Secretariat, and naturally has a strong position in the court. After hearing those little Luo Luo said such righteous words, he would not shout, and there was a constant stream of cheers in the Golden Palace.
"It seems that Hu Weiyong is useless? It's not easy to say such a thing?" Xiao Yun praised secretly, but was not in a hurry to refute. Anyway, what he should have said had already been said. Whether the eight-legged essay can be used in the end is not something he can decide. I just hope that Zhu Yuanzhang's vision can be longer-term.
Everyone also understood the problem and turned their heads to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
From the beginning to the end, Zhu Yuanzhang only said a few words and listened carefully. Xiao Yun and Hu Weiyong each held a word. He stopped in his ears and savored it carefully. As Xiao Yun said, the eight-legged essay uses the sentences in the Four Books and Five Classics as the title, and can only explain the meaning of it according to the meaning of the title. The wording must be used in the tone of the ancients, which is the so-called establishing words for sages. The format is also very dead. The structure has a certain program, the number of words has certain restrictions, and the syntax requires duality. The eight-legged essay is also called the craft, the art of making art, the time of writing, the eight-legged essay, and the four-book essay. The eight-legged essay is an article composed of eight pairs, which is generally divided into six paragraphs. The first sentence is to solve the topic, the two sentences follow the title, and then the explanation is
What is called origin. The main part of the eight-legged essay is the four paragraphs: starting stock, middle stock, back stock, and tying stock, each paragraph has two paragraphs. At the end of the article, it is called re-collection. It is too complicated and requires candidates to pay attention to format and pay attention to parallelism. Moreover, they can only rely on Zhu Xi's "Four Books Collection Notes" to "make words on behalf of the sages", and cannot express their intentions at all. It is indeed difficult for students to play their own way, but he has his own plans. Although Hu Weiyong's words were completely uninformed, he gave him a reminder that it doesn't matter whether the eight-legged essay is good or bad. As long as these scholars have books to read and officials to do, they are dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, and they are restricted from their development? "
After some conspiracy, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened and shouted: "Transfer my will. From August this year, a special imperial examination will be set up. Those who are familiar with the classics and practice, who are well-versed in ancient and modern times, and who are known and true. I will personally plan to the court and post the highest and lower levels to serve as officials. All Chinese and foreign civil servants will advance from the imperial examination. Those who are not imperial examinations will not be allowed to be officials."
"The emperor is wise." Hu Weiyong hurriedly slapped the horse.
The ministers also hurriedly bowed and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"
"Damn, it's still impossible to change in the end?" Xiao Yun sighed inwardly, thinking that in the future, the eight-legged essays will only require candidates to create formal articles, but will not value the candidates' actual knowledge. Most readers have gradually been bound by the narrow Four Books and Five Classics and the pedantic eight-legged essays; both vision, creative ability, and independent thinking are greatly limited. Most people regard passing scientific examinations as their only purpose, and study only to be an official and to shine their ancestors. The splendid Chinese culture created by the Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan essays has been regressed for more than a hundred years because of an eight-legged essay. The hatred in their hearts is so much that they can't pounce on Hu Weiyong and bite him hard.
"I don't know the pros and cons of eight-legged essays, but what Brother Xiao said is worthy of my vigilance. Therefore, I decided that this subject is limited to three years. If three years later, the scholars in the world think that eight-legged essays are indeed not conducive to our Ming Dynasty's talent acquisition, I should ban it!" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Xiao Yun and said in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid it's impossible to ban it?" Xiao Yun sighed and could only kneel down and say, "The emperor is wise!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the idea of becoming an official with the eight-legged essay so quickly. He didn't care about Xiao Yun's bold words. He was about to say a few more words when he suddenly heard a guard outside the door walked into the Golden Palace, clasped his fists at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said aloud: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is here!"
"Just now?" Zhu Yuanzhang hummed secretly. He didn't see Li Shanchang in the morning court, and Zhu Yuanzhang was quite unhappy. The second major event today was that he asked Li Shanchang to retire in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. He had already hinted yesterday that he believed that with Li Shanchang's cleverness, he would not be unable to see his thoughts. He thought that he would definitely deliver the memorial of retirement early in the morning court, but he did not expect that most of the morning court had gone there and no one was seen, so how could he not be angry?
