Ordinary people would find this imperial edict obscure and difficult to understand.
"In the future, all high school scholars can go to the local area to be second-in-command and experience. Then, they can return to the imperial examination to study and then be awarded a real official position.”
"Of course, you can also choose not to go for experiential learning and not return to the Jinshi Hall to settle down. However, in this way, I'm sorry. In the future, when we promote, we will give priority to those officials who are at the bottom of the ranks.”
"Moreover, it is very likely that you will be dismissed from your official position because you cannot keep up with your other classmates.”
This was simply too stifling.
One had to know,
In the imperial examinations before the Ming Dynasty, as long as one passed the examination, they would immediately be awarded an official position and be allowed to educate the people.
However, with this imperial edict,
The situation immediately changed.
Do you think you can do it just because you're a high school scholar?
Sorry, not yet.
You still have to go to the grassroots to gain experience. After that, you still have to go back to school.
This school was known as the Jinshi Sanguan.
The purpose of the local experiential learning was to let the scholars know the sufferings of the common people. The purpose of returning to the Jinshi and scattered officials to study was to let them settle down what they had seen and heard.
To truly understand a certain principle and improve together with execution.
The imperial edict clearly stated that in the few years of studying in the Jinshi Hall, some of the country's documents that were not particularly confidential could be made available to them.
In these two to three years, they could concentrate on studying and gain more political knowledge.
From the microscopic perspective of the local government to the macro perspective of the high officials of the imperial court.
Once this imperial edict was issued,
Jin Youzi and the others were all blind.
"What's going on?"
"Didn't we say it was fine in the beginning?”
"We don't need those who are not good at studying. We only need to promote the truly smart people to be officials. Then scholars can be more noble…"
"But now, not only have you not cut off the upper ladder of those lowly people who can't study but still want to climb up, those who look like businessmen and are slick and have no scholarly character.”
"You still let those who are good at studying go to the grassroots to gain experience? Dealing with those dull commoners, cunning officials, and squires with ulterior motives?”
"Then how can a scholar be noble?"
"What kind of superiority can you have over other scholars?”
"After that, I'll go to the basic level to gain experience. There's a test in the middle?”
"The assessment results are not counted. At least, they are not that useful. They are only used as a reference because when you come back to study, the ministers and the emperor will have to see how much you know.”
"Wouldn't that seal off the way to bribe the examinees?”
This time, it was over. It was completely over.
In the future, scholars would no longer be the kind of people who were floating in the air, talking about poetry, songs, and life philosophy. They would be with the young ladies of Qinhuai River every day, and they would be intimate with each other. They would no longer be the kind of people who were elegant and charming.
Instead, he was a pitiful person who had to deal with filth!
"Emperor, be a human!"
"How could you do this? You're simply disrespecting scholars!”
"We, we want…"
What do you want?
It's nothing. Let's wash up and sleep.
What a joke.
Who do you think Emperor Zhu Di is?
Would he be afraid of a scholar rebelling?
With a single order, the 500,000 strong army that had just returned from the plains was immediately assembled.
This was the army of the north. The soldiers of the south were no less than those of the north.
These soldiers were soldiers of the Wei Office and did not listen to the civil officials at all. They would attack wherever the Emperor pointed. It did not matter how many books you had read or how many beautiful articles you had in your stomach. What did it matter to me?
Yang Shiqi and the others looked at each other and saw the shock, disbelief, and heaviness in each other's eyes.
Zhu Di's imperial edict had broken some of their expectations and even woke them up.
They, the cabinet ministers, were just tools in Zhu Di's hands.
When I need you, I let you work yourself to death, but once I have my own thoughts, I will directly issue an imperial edict.
Your opinions? What was that? Was it important?
Of course not!
"This is not the emperor we want.”
Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Jin Youzi smiled bitterly. They looked at each other and saw the pessimism and disappointment in their eyes.
"It's okay. We still have hope.”
Yang Rong was the calmest. He was the first to walk out of his pessimistic mood.
Hearing Yang Rong's words,
Yang Shiqi, Jin Youzi, and the others followed his gaze.
All of them cast their gazes on a certain person who was so fat that it was difficult for him to walk.
Yeah,
We still have a chance.
As long as the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne,
There was still a chance to change everything!
The Crown Prince was kind and respected scholars. He would definitely not allow scholars to be humiliated like this.
The Crown Prince was not the current Emperor.
He will definitely stand on our side!
They indeed understood the Crown Prince, Zhu Gaochi.
He knew that the Crown Prince was soft on the outside but tough on the inside. He actually did not quite agree with Zhu Di's methods.
However, you have to wait for that day.
These cabinet ministers did not seem to realize that Zhu Di had bypassed them and directly issued an imperial edict without any discussion. This was a sign of distrust.
The cabinet ministers did not receive this signal, but Zhu Zhanhe did.
What was going on? Why did it seem like the old master didn't trust the cabinet?
Could it be…
