Chapter 310 The Imperial Examination Begins(1/2)

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, although Chen Sihai was moved, he was more worried.

Chen Sihai didn't know what Your Majesty was going to do, for fear that Your Majesty would do something uncontrollable, so he took a step forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, you still have to make a long-term plan."

"Although those people deserve to die, you can't be too hasty, otherwise there will be trouble. At that time, it will be difficult to deal with."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Sihai, and saw that he looked worried, and said with a smile: "I won't act recklessly, don't worry. Go back and prepare well, don't be able to do it when you use it."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not let Your Majesty down." Chen Sihai quickly agreed.

Nodding gently, Zhu Youxiao said: "The Staff Office will be established soon. I will set up a Military Law Office under the Staff Office. I want to leave this yamen to you for special investigation and punishment of military generals. You must grasp this matter well."

After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Chen Sihai was immediately excited and bowed quickly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not let Your Majesty down."

The Military Law Department has been conceiving for a long time, and Zhu Youxiao has always wanted to set up it, but there has never been any chance.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to set up the General Staff Office, the Military Law Department will be established as soon as possible to investigate military cases. In this way, the military and civil servant groups can be separated, and the most important thing is to prevent the military from being so restricted.

In fact, many people have not figured out one thing. The so-called division of civil and military affairs is not about separating literati and military generals. Instead, the military affairs belong to the military and the government affairs belong to the government.

There can be scholars in the military, and there can be soldiers in the government, and the two sides do not have conflicts. The so-called separation of military and political affairs is actually the separation of two administrative systems.

There is no such regulation in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. "Using literature to control martial arts" completely tramples the generals into the mud.

The interests of the civil servant group are not consistent with the interests of the country. They control the promotion of soldiers and the criminal law of soldiers, which is of no benefit to soldiers.

This kind of power will be abused, and it will also make soldiers bow down to the civil servant group even more. Under such a political ecology, civil servants will not dare to say that they are corrupt because they cannot afford it.

However, if these two rights are separated, it will greatly weaken the control of the civil servant group over the military generals.

Transfer these two powers to the staff office, that is, to the emperor's hands.

The Military Law Department, the Marine Law, and the Staff Department do not involve local affairs, but can dispatch local governments like the cabinet to achieve dual jurisdiction.

The military no longer accepts the jurisdiction of local governments, but directly belongs to the General Staff Office; the General Staff Office is only responsible to the emperor, which can be said to have greatly strengthened the emperor's power.

Therefore, it is imperative to establish the Military Law Office.

As for the person in charge, Zhu Youxiao had already chosen Chen Sihai. Now he told him that he was just notifying him.

Seeing that Chen Sihai agreed, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "The matter has not been announced to the public yet, so don't show off everywhere."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm not that kind of person." Chen Sihai said hurriedly.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "I just said it casually, you don't have to care."

Chen Sihai was sweating coldly.

You said it casually, but who dares not care?

"Okay, you go," Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and signaled Chen Sihai to retreat.

Chen Sihai didn't say anything else, but just bowed and said, "That minister takes his leave."

After saying this, Chen Sihai turned around and walked out.

After Chen Sihai left, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

After so long, I finally got to know the government's politics, and the messy relationship finally reached a reasonable point, so I don't have to make a big move for the time being.

In the cabinet, several people restricted each other and were temporarily stable.

The rights of the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang were not weakened. Both the Tongzhengsi and the Military Law Department had to use the Jinyiwei; as for the Dongchang, they could change their work direction in the future.

The new army has been trained and trained. Although there are not many people, it is still enough for the time being.

As for money, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already made profits. It has been preparing before the New Year, and after the New Year, it has begun to open channels across the country. The tax payment of land for the nobles can temporarily relieve themselves.

In terms of thought, the Royal Academy has prepared almost the same, and this imperial examination is just about to be launched.

An earthquake occurred in Shandong and other places, so I could take this opportunity to clean up.

The entire Chao Dynasty had basically figured out the clues, and the rest was fine-tuning, and there was no way to make a big move for the time being.

Because I have to change my direction, if there are any subsequent actions, I will probably have to wait for some years.

What you have to do now is to wait step by step. When the time is ripe, start the next big move.

The palace was quiet inside, but it was not quiet outside.

Everyone is busy walking the road about the staff office, but before the list is confirmed, no one knows what kind of turning things will happen.

But time is passing day by day, and the imperial examination has finally arrived.

The students who are looking forward to this day finally ushered in the exam that determines their lives.

This exam is called the Imperial Examination. The so-called Imperial Examination meets one place and competes in science and technology. The examination is hosted by the Ministry of Rites and is held in the capital.

The imperial examination was held in the Gongshi Academy in the southeast of Beijing inner city. The examiner of the imperial examination was called the general account. The candidates were juren from various provinces, and the admissions were called "gongshi", and the first name was "Huiyuan".

The examination will be held in three games, one in three days. The first game is on the ninth day of the lunar month, the second game is on the twelfth day, and the third game is on the fifteenth day, and the first day is on the fifteenth day, and the first day is on the first and the next day.

The three-site test items, four-book text, five-character and eight-rhyme poems, five-scripture texts and question-making are the same as the provincial examination.

But unlike every test, this time a group of people appeared. They all wore long blue gowns, which looked different from others, but their clothes were relatively neat and all of them were of the same style.

Everyone knows that these people are students of the Royal Academy.

No matter where these people go, the atmosphere there will become very strange, and other scholars' eyes when they look at them are full of hostility; even if they are not hostile, they will subconsciously hide away.

Everyone knows what's going on with the students of the Royal Academy.

In the eyes of scholars, these people are all under Feng Congwu and all of them are Xunzi. They are completely contrary to those who study Confucius and Mencius, or are incompatible.

The two sides almost fought, and it can be said that the struggle was fierce. At the same time, millions of people crossed the single-plank bridge in the imperial examination.

This time the examiner was Feng Congwu, the priest of the academy, which has already made many people dissatisfied, and he felt that he would be biased towards the students of the Royal Academy. Now the students of the Royal Academy are still so arrogant, which obviously makes everyone very upset.

But the children of the Royal Academy don’t care, everyone is doing their own things.

At the front of the student team of the Royal Academy, Zhang Yu stood there expressionlessly, and on both sides were the Song brothers.

There is also Lu Xiangsheng. Beside Lu Xiangsheng, he was Liu Xian who was taken to the Royal Academy with him.

Compared to the people next to him, Liu Xian looked helpless and really didn't know what to say.

Zhang Yu gave the idea of ​​wearing student uniforms from the Royal Academy to participate in the imperial examination. Liu Xian himself did not agree with it because in his opinion, this was a fire.

But who could have thought that after this opinion was put forward, these people responded to it, and even Lu Xiangsheng, who had always been steady, joined in the fun.

Liu Xian really didn't know what to say. He was forced to do so, and in desperation, he had to join them.

In Zhang Yu's opinion, this time doing this is to announce to everyone that we are here.

People like me don’t have a foundation in the court and are not afraid of being excluded. From the cabinet’s chief minister, Han Du, to the colleagues of the Royal Academy, they will help each other in the future.

Even if you don’t do this, you will be excluded from the officialdom. So it’s better to do it thoroughly and let the officialdom take a good look. We are here.

That's why Zhang Yu decided to do this, but he responded to it.

After looking at the people beside him, Zhang Yu felt very passionate. When he entered the officialdom, all of them would be finished, as far as he could go.

After looking at the two people standing next to Lu Xiangsheng, Liu Xian was helpless.

In the Royal Academy, the few of them are a small group. In terms of literature, Zhang Yu, Song Yingsheng and Song Yingxing are better at learning.

Zhang Yu is a very deep person and good at planning; Song Yingsheng is proficient in knowledge and is very upright.

As for Song Yingxing, he was the most prone one. He had many ideas and was interested in everything, especially his skilled carpenter work, and always shook his head and said, "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools."

As for Lu Xiangsheng, he can be considered both civil and military. Of course, the stronger one is martial arts, who is very capable of fighting. He wielding a big sword, he is invincible.

Not no one can compete with him, for example, the one named Cao Wenzhao next to him is also very good at fighting, and he is proficient in bows, horses, riding and shooting, especially the one who is very good at using a long spear. Cao Wenzhao had to compete with Lu Xiangsheng if he had nothing to do.

As for the other person next to Lu Xiangsheng, his name is Wu Xiang. He treats people kindly and always smiles. No matter what happens, he doesn't seem to be anxious, like a Maitreya Buddha.

As for Liu Xian himself, he is not very prominent in this small group. He seems to know everything, but he is not good at anything. But Liu Xian knows his strengths, that is, he can look at people.

In Liu Xian's opinion, if you want to be an official, Zhang Yu is the most powerful in this small group, and no one can compare to him. If he can join the cabinet and become a minister in the future, he will not be surprised at all.

As for Song Yingsheng, if he didn't change his temper, he would probably not be very welcome.

On the contrary, it is Wu Xiang, who may have a future.

As for Lu Xiangsheng, Liu Xian didn't know what to say. This person is honest and passionate. If he could meet the wise master, he would naturally have nothing to say, otherwise the ending would not be very good.

On the contrary, Song Yingxing, who is free and free, has no desires and no desires, can end up well.

However, now that I have stepped into the torrent, it is hard to predict what the future will be. I can only take one step at a time.

Liu Xian gently shook the folding fan in his hand. Even though he was calm, he was still a little excited at this time. It was already exciting to be involved in the torrent of history.

It seems that the preparations have been almost done before, and the time has come.

The door of the Gongyuan was also opened, and everyone began to walk inside in order, and the imperial examination was about to begin.

In a teahouse next to Gongyuan Courtyard, Zhu Youxiao stood at the window on the second floor, wearing a white long gown, and exuded an elegant temperament.

He held a folding fan in his hand and sang it twice from time to time. Of course, it was not for the sake of coolness. The weather was not that hot. It was still a little cool in early spring, so he held a folding fan mainly for the sake of being handsome.

Looking at the group of people below, Zhu Youxiao didn't know what to say. Especially the scholars from the Royal Academy, their clothes were neat and uniform, and they looked like they were causing trouble.

Zhu Youxiao was helpless. It seemed that these guys were all thorny. The Ming Dynasty officialdom was probably going to be lively.

His eyes fell not far away. Zhu Youxiao saw a carriage and was stunned. He turned his head to ask Chen Hong beside him, "That is Xu Guangqi's carriage, right?"
