Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Gaoxu walked into the imperial study carelessly.

Old man, why did you call me here?

Zhu Di happily handed the memorial to him.

good news!

Mu Sheng completely eradicated the Yang family in Bozhou, and then took this opportunity to surrender the chieftains in the southwest in one fell swoop, and the policy of returning native land to locals was officially implemented.

Zhu Gaoxu also looked happy when he heard this, and immediately accepted Mu Sheng's memorial.

After reading it, I couldn't help but nodded.

Mu Sheng, this guy, although he does a lot of tricks, his abilities are really outstanding.

Now that the reform of agrarian rule in the southwest has been successfully implemented, the imperial court must also fully cooperate!

How is the staffing of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? A lot of talents have emerged from this imperial examination!

Zhu Di nodded, as if he was ten years younger.

There are a lot of good seeds!

Li Qi, the number one scholar, is an upright and upright man. He worked diligently during the Hanlin exams and was honest and honest.

Zeng Heling, the second best person in the list, is frank and forthright, extremely filial to family members, and very cautious in his conduct.

There is also Tanhua Chen Xianzhang, who is not only knowledgeable and impressive, but also personally engaged in labor. He also holds students to the same standards. It is said that he is the most outstanding person among the new students.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was a little surprised because of Chen Xianzhang.

This child is a close disciple of Chen Gongfu, a great scholar of Xiangshan Xinxue. At that time, Chen Gongfu was invited by Zhu Gaoxu to come to Beijing as the Minister of the Academy, and assisted the Minister of the Academy, Jie Jin Jie Gongbao, to promote the new learning.

As a result, Mr. Gongfu was brutally plotted by Cheng Zhujinshen and was beaten to death by random punches, leaving Chen Xianzhang as a helpless child.

Zhu Gaoxu personally rushed to Xiangshan Academy, took the child back, and gave it to the great scholar Chen Ji to train him. Xie Jin, Wang Jing and others also went to teach him from time to time.

Chen Xianzhang can be said to have studied under hundreds of schools of thought. He has learned all the major contents of the New Study. He can be called a leading figure among the disciples of the New Study.

If Mr. Gongfu knew that he could achieve what he has achieved today, he should rest in peace.

These young talents are very good and possess both ability and political integrity.

But you still have to follow my method. You can't select them as concubines and waste their time in the Hanlin Academy.

Isn't there a shortage of people in the southwest right now? All Jinshi will be sent to the southwest, starting from the lowest level of county magistrate, slowly polishing and training, and learning political experience!

Hearing this, Zhu Di was a little hesitant.

Isn't this a little too cruel to this group of Jinshi?

After all, they are still inexperienced students. If they directly go to a place in the southwest where the situation is complicated to become an official, I am afraid they will suffer a lot!

In fact, according to Emperor Yongle's ideas, he still wanted to keep these outstanding students in the court for training.

According to the previous method of cultivating talents in the imperial court, Chen Xianzhang and others were allowed to observe the administration of various ministries and temple supervisors, and slowly learn the experience of managing government affairs. After three to five years, it was not too late to be released as officials.

After all, they are still scholars and students who write on paper, and just put them in the local government. Not to mention being played around by local subordinates, it is impossible for them to achieve political achievements in a short period of time!

Enduring hardship? Zhu Gaoxu smiled, What is the purpose of being an official?

“Is it possible that you are still ‘working thousands of miles to become an official just for the sake of wealth’?”

Now that new schools are emerging and everything is new, the rotten bureaucracy of the past must be abolished!

The imperial court wants to tell students all over the world that just having talent is not enough. You must prove your own ability before you can rise to the top and become an official in the court!

The imperial court must tell students all over the world that serving as an official should benefit local people, rather than serving as an official thousands of miles away just for wealth!

The law of passing the examination is not a decoration, but a law that the court should implement at all times. If you can't achieve political achievements in three to five years, then the court will not need these so-called talented people!

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di's face changed slightly.

He opened his mouth to retort, but no words came out.

Because Zhu Di knew in his heart that what the second brother said was the truth, and it was the right choice for the court!

In the past, those officials and students worked thousands of miles to become officials just for money, but their original intention to become officials was flawed. After they became officials, they would naturally engage in corruption and bribery, and plunder the people's wealth.

Now that the New Learning has replaced Cheng and Zhu as the leading scholar in the world, it is indeed necessary to reform the once decadent bureaucratic system.

Dad, times have changed!

The wider the imperial court's territory, the greater the gap for officials will naturally be, but this does not mean that the threshold for selecting officials must be lowered!

We can no longer allow the gentry to control the imperial examinations and collude to monopolize the officialdom, as in the past. All in all, officials in the Ming Dynasty would rather have a shortage than an overabundance. This is the most basic bottom line!

Zhu Di nodded after hearing this.

Okay, let's do what you want!

One more thing. Shandong students really stopped taking exams. Why don't you go there in person?

Zhu Di spoke with a gloomy face, obviously extremely angry.

Students in a province boycotted exams, which was a huge blow to the imperial court's influence!

If not handled properly, it may even affect other provinces.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard the news, his expression suddenly changed.

Where's Gu Zuo? What does he do for food?

With his dignified censor of Zuodu, and Dongchang assisting him, can't he still solve the Yanshenggong Mansion?

There is no doubt that the Yanshenggong Mansion was behind the boycott of the exams by Shandong students.

But Zhu Gaojiu had obviously sent Gu Zuo and Gu Penzi to Shandong. With Gu Penzi's ability, why couldn't he suppress the Duke Yansheng's Mansion?

Zhu Di sighed and handed Gu Zuo's memorial to Zhu Gaoxu.

We all underestimated the influence of Duke Yan Sheng's Mansion!

Before Gu Zuo and his party arrived in Qufu, Shandong, they heard that a large number of Shandong students had gathered to cause trouble, advocating for a boycott of exams and boycotting the promotion of new learning!

The Yan Shenggong Mansion has chosen the timing very well. Because it involves the imperial examination, Gu Zuo can only cooperate with the local officials to resolve the matter first.

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes turned cold and he laughed angrily.

Oh, that's really interesting!

It seems that the Chief Secretary of Shandong is really doing nothing!

Send an order to Gu Zuo to raid Yan Shenggong's mansion and imprison all his people!

In addition, officials of the third division magistrate and above in Shandong will be arrested and escorted back to Beijing for trial and punishment!

Let the officials be prepared, UU read www.uukanshu.net to fill this gap and give local officials in Shandong a major change of blood!

Zhu Di's face changed drastically when he heard this.

Is this making too much of a fuss?

Isn't it bad to make too much noise? Zhu Gaoxu sneered: There are always some clowns jumping up and down, trying to hinder the imperial court's plans!

In that case, why not just serve them all in one pot!

On the surface, the Shandong students' strike on exams was caused by Duke Yansheng's government, but what about the officials of the Third Local Bureau of Shandong? Are they not guilty, or are they also adding fuel to the flames and just sitting back and watching the situation develop?

No matter what, these officials are not suitable to stay in Shandong. If there are no problems after the review, they will be assigned to the southwest region. If there are problems, they will be dismissed directly and investigated!

Since those students who are on strike are unwilling to take the exam, they will never take the exam again. They will all be blacklisted and will not be hired by the court for life!

The imperial court wants students all over the world to see its determination to implement the New Deal. Anyone who dares to interfere with it must be prepared to pay a heavy price!

Hiss... Zhu Di couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Shandong officials should indeed be held accountable, but those Shandong students were just beguiled and instigated by others. There is no need to be so cruel, right?

Is this cruel? I also want to directly implicate them and cancel their family's scientific examination qualifications. It's just for themselves, and it's already being lenient!

Father, the court must toughen its attitude towards these gentry and gentry. It cannot be as weak as before!

You want to use the exam to blackmail the court, then I'm sorry, you won't have to take the exam in your life. Anyway, there are a lot of students waiting to become officials!

Since the new learning has been promoted, the gentry and the gentry are no longer qualified, and they are threatening the imperial court again!
