Later generations have said that the Eight-legged essay imprisoned the thinking of the times, but this is not true. The Eight-part essay is essentially just an examination style, and it is not so good at imprisoning thinking. What really imprisons thinking is the 'reference textbook'.

The Four Books and Five Classics have been used for thousands of years, and the questions in each imperial examination cannot be the same, so the questions become more difficult and tricky as they go by. Some question makers even invented the magical operation of "cutting and matching"

.

Good guys, I’m starting to use my imagination when it comes to the college entrance examination questions.

It's like when you took the college entrance examination, you opened the test paper and saw: Please use analytical geometry to understand the role of the oranges in "Stand still, I'll buy you oranges".

"Come, let's enter a fantasy world."

After Ji Boying finished speaking, the surrounding scenery changed instantly.

Except for Hongzhi and his son, who experienced it for the first time, everyone else is already used to it.

As far as the eye can see, this is an examination room.

In the middle of the lobby, three examiners are sitting at attention in the examination room. In the small halls on the left and right, there is a co-examiner cooperating with the examiner. The examination booths are marked with plaques such as "Tian Zi Hao" and "Di Zi Hao" in the order of thousands of characters in the corridor.

Candidates are located in the dormitories neatly arranged on both sides, some are immersed in writing, and some are meditating on the papers.

In front of the dormitory, there are also invigilators standing to prevent candidates from cheating.

"Here is..."

Lao Zhu looked around and frowned slightly.

"Father, this is Gongyuan."

Abiao reminded in a low voice.

"Hey, this question is very strange."

Abiao, who has the highest literary literacy in the old Zhu family, his eyes fell on the dormitory in front of him. The candidates in this dormitory looked to be in their sixties and were staring at the papers in a daze.

The title on the scroll is: How can we be inferior to birds even though we are human? The poem goes: King Mu Muwen.

"I vaguely remember that there is a sentence in "The Great Learning" that says, 'You can be a human but not as good as a bird.' However, the second half of this sentence is clearly written about King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, and it should be from the Book of Songs."

Xiao Zhu Si, who was not studying well, was stunned and looked at A Biao.

"Brother, what is the relationship between King Wen of Zhou and birds?"

The other emperors and princes also stood up from their seats and gathered in front of each room to watch in surprise.

Even Zhu Houzhao was forced to read many Four Books and Five Classics when he was young, so he naturally understood the nonsense of this topic.

Everyone frowned.

"The first of the regulations on changes to the imperial examination."

Ji Boying spoke calmly, and immediately everyone looked at Ji Boying and listened with bated breath.

"The scope of the imperial examination questions must be updated in real time and must not be limited to the old-fashioned."

"Blinally exam-oriented education will only destroy the vitality of the empire."

As soon as these words were spoken, the illusion around them dispersed, and everyone returned to their seats one after another.

"Attention, you may not be able to accept what I am going to say next."

"Listen first, remember first, then ask questions."

Ji Boying sat back on the imperial chair in the center of the podium, and Xiyu handed him a cup of herbal tea at the right time.

Take it and drink it all in one gulp.

While handing the teacup back to Xiyu, Ji Boying glanced at Hong Xi and Zhu Zhanji who were sitting in the "Ding Er" seat.

"Ding Er, remember to take notes."

Hong Xi and Zhu Zhanji, who were sitting upright with their ears pricked up, suddenly trembled and quickly picked up the brush on the desk.

"Yes, Immortal Master, I will definitely take notes and hand them over to my father when I return."

"Hmm."

Ji Boying nodded. Then he stood up again.

"Article 2."

"The chief examiner of the imperial examination will no longer be designated. After the cross-marking of the examination papers by all the examiners, the cabinet will collectively decide on the list of successful candidates and hand it over to the emperor for promulgation."

In the Ming Dynasty, one of the political parties among civil servants was to appoint disciples in the imperial examination.

For example, if you are the examiner this year, then all the Jinshi students who take the exam this year will be your students, and they will all come to worship you at the dock. They will also be your younger brothers who will fight for power in the temple in the future.

"Article 3."

"Classify the imperial examination into three subjects: liberal arts, science and medicine."

"Liberal arts follow inherent rules, while science involves abacus, construction, refining, etc. As for medicine, it should be easy to understand, as it is an assessment of medicine."

"Those who excel in liberal arts will enter the court and serve in politics."

"Those who excel in science will enter the Royal Tiangong Academy of the Ming Dynasty. After each of you returns, you will establish this academy in your respective dynasty. The status of the Royal Tiangong Academy will be the same as that of the six ministries, and you will receive direct orders from the emperor."

"Those who are outstanding in the medical department will be admitted to Taiyuan Hospital. Taiyuan Hospital also needs to be restructured and renamed Ming Dynasty Royal Medical Hospital. Like Tiangongyuan, it has the same status as the Six Ministries. It is directly authorized by the emperor's edict. Its responsibilities will no longer be limited to

Instead of treating diseases, we should focus more on improving medical skills and drug research, and strive to promote the development of Ming medicine."

Ji Boying did not speak very fast to ensure that everyone could hear clearly.

However, when I glanced at these emperors and princes, everyone was a little stunned, obviously confused by what they heard.

Article 2: Change Tai Hospital to Royal Medical Hospital, they can understand.

After all, Taiyuan Hospital actually had some jurisdiction over the Ming Dynasty’s pharmaceutical industry. Now it has just been upgraded and its jurisdiction over medicine across the country has been increased.

But this third article.

Science?Royal Tiangong Institute?

These two dozen emperors and princes all have ‘???’ written all over their faces.

"Master Immortal, what does this Royal Tiangong Institute do?"

Old Zhu Di couldn't help but ask.

Ji Boying glanced at Old Zhu Di and then glanced at the others. Obviously, these emperors and princes all had the same doubts.

"Do you have the same question?"

When asked, everyone, including Lao Zhu, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

They always feel that the Royal Tiangong Institute sounds very awesome, but they have no idea at all. They have no idea what it is, and they have no idea what the Tiangong Institute will do once it is established.

Even the establishment of the official system in Tiangongyuan is not legal.

After all, this thing has never been seen in history books, and there is not even a basic reference.

"There is an assignment. I originally wanted to give it to you after graduation."

"Just in time, I'll tell you in advance now."

The words fell.

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and the emperors and princes found themselves appearing in the sky.

The clouds and mist are lingering, and the wind is howling.

When I visited the temples of the Hongzhi Dynasty before, everyone seemed relatively calm.

Looking down from this height, there is a city below. The buildings in it are ones that Lao Zhu and others have never seen before, and they obviously do not look like Ming Dynasty buildings.

"Where is this city? Why doesn't it even have a city wall?"

Lao Zhu frowned.

To him, it was simply unbelievable that a city had no walls.

Old Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi and others also had similar views. A city without walls could be completely wiped out by the cavalry with a single charge, and the battle could be resolved in half a day.

"Big Bird!"

"There's someone on the Big Bird!"

"Birdman?!"

"No, this, this is a flying magic weapon!"

While others are paying attention to the ground, only Zhu Houcong is paying attention to the sky. This is the gap between gods and mortals.

The young man Zhu Houcong exclaimed in surprise, and the Jiajing Immortal stared at the 'big bird' that was approaching at great speed and took a deep breath.

Young Zhu Houcong, the Jiajing Immortal, stared with fiery eyes: 'I want it so much!

Hearing the sound, everyone stared.

Directly in front of them, they saw a group of "big birds" they had never seen before. They were rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed, with the sound of wind whistling through their bodies.

The moment the big bird passed by, I could clearly see that there was indeed someone on board the big bird.

And at this moment.
