Chapter 686
Chapter 683 : Guo Jia’s accomplishment, retreat, go
Xiao Rui had long wanted to work on the contents of the imperial examination.
Although it was only the fourth year of ascending the throne, Xiao Rui’s control of the court was unprecedentedly firmer.
The first is the East Factory. This is the butcher knife hanging on the heads of hundreds of civil and military officials! The current Dongchang has not developed to the point where it is talked about in the middle and late Ming dynasty, and Wei Zhongxian has not become nine thousand years old, but it does not mean that the Dongchang’s monitoring of the civil and military officials has slackened. Xiao Rui gave the East Factory great spying responsibilities, but he did things in a low-key manner.
This knife had been hidden in the sleeve, and when Xiao Rui was about to take it out, it was a **** consequence.
Secondly, Xiao Rui still holds the Big Summer News in his hands.
Don’t underestimate the Da Xia Bao, if Dongchang is a ghost blade that secretly kills people, then Da Xia Bao is the killing sword of the day. Especially in Kyoto, the five teachings and nine generations, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce gathered together. After a few articles, a bad person can sing to become a good person, and a good person can also be a wicked person.
What’s more, now that the Big Summer Daily is handed over to Jia Xu, this killing sword has become a forty-meter-long killing sword.
Furthermore, the six ministers, the cabinet, and the generals were all Xiao Rui’s confidantes. They said without embarrassment that even if the Supreme Emperor came back from Yingzhou, he wanted to be an emperor again, and there were very few people who supported him. This is also the reason why Xiao Rui dared to go on a personal conquest just as soon as he became a throne, and it was one year after he went out.
Finally, under Xiao Rui’s wise leadership, the Qin State was wiped out, and the high-level members of the Yuan State were wiped out, so that the Yuan people did not dare to invade Xia State. New crops, benevolent governance, and loving the people like children, etc., Xiao Rui’s prestige was already It reached a peak and was respected and admired by the people.
Therefore, Xiao Rui had the confidence to work on the contents of the imperial examination.
Who dares to oppose now?
However, Xiao Rui didn’t directly resort to tough methods, and wanted to be stable, so he let out the wind a year ago and caused gimmicks to see who was the strongest opponent. Now that the time is right, Xiao Rui has begun to advocate this matter.
First of all, Xiao Rui affirmed the importance of the imperial examination system in the selection of talents in Daxia, and pointed out the imperfect and incomplete contents of the imperial examination.
In the next few days, the Shangshu Lu Yuanzheng of the Ministry of Etiquette wrote a letter and put forward suggestions on the improvement of the content of the imperial examination.
There is no way, as the official book of the Ministry of Rites in charge of major imperial examinations, he must carry this pot on behalf of Emperor Xiao Rui and become the target of scholars’ crusade. Although everyone understands that this is your Majesty’s idea, this is how political affairs are.
Xiao Rui expressed his high praise and approval for the perfection of the Lu Expedition, and then announced it to the world and consulted hundreds of civil and military officials.
Soon, Lu Yuanzheng’s suggestions for improving the content of the imperial examination were exchanged and discussed by scholars.
According to the content of the opinion, the content of the imperial examination does not only examine the classics, writing and current affairs policy theory, but adds other content, including farming knowledge, legal content, tax rates, etc., originally only need to study the four books and five classics, now the four books and five classics only account for 80% of the Weight.
Of course, this is only the first step.
According to Xiao Rui’s plan, the court asked someone to write special textbooks. In the future, the imperial examination questions will be selected from these textbooks, and then gradually reduce the weight of the four books and five classics, and add examination subjects, divided into literature subjects and professional subjects, so that scholars No longer just read dead books, dead books.
After the scholars saw the changes in the content of the imperial examination, most of them opposed it. After all, the content increased and the difficulty increased.
However, Xiao Rui also provided them with convenience, that is, to change the three-year college entrance examination to once a year. Although this has become more difficult, it has increased opportunities, and the difficulty is for everyone, not for individual people. In addition, the number of selected talents is also increasing. After all, the vast territory of Daxia is equivalent to the integration of four countries, which also gives more opportunities for scholars.
Of course, there are also a small group of people who raise their hands in agreement. They are not proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics. Now the weight of the Four Books and Five Classics is reduced, which is beneficial to them.
Xiao Rui intends to spend six years to thoroughly improve the imperial examination system, make the imperial examination system more fair, and select talents with the basic qualities of being an official.
Although many officials opposed the changes in the contents of the imperial examination, no one dared to put forward their opinions face to face. Do you really think your Majesty is asking the officials for their opinions?
Do not make jokes.
Xiao Rui waited for several days, but no one responded.
So on a new day, when Xiao Rui sat on the dragon chair, Wang Dazhi shouted: “If you have something to play early, you can retreat if nothing happens!”
At this time, Xiao Rui waved his hand to stop the other officials’ memorials, and first said: “Everyone, Aiqing, Lu Shangshu’s suggestions for perfecting the imperial examination, so far, no official has raised objections. I am very pleased. It seems that you all. Aiqing supports this opinion, just like me!”
The officials were silent, and his Majesty said these things, and no one dared to object.
Lu Yuanzheng stood up and said respectfully: “My Majesty, the improvement of the content of the imperial examination is the general trend. Only by following the situation can we create a new future. If we continue to follow the old ways and fail to keep up with the development of the situation, it will cause unstable order. So my colleagues are not. If you want to be a sinner in Daxia, you will inevitably support the improvement of the imperial examination system.”
Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: “Lu Aiqing is justified! I will give the Ministry of Rites the sole responsibility for such important matters that benefit the country.”
“Weichen takes the decree.” Lu Yuanzheng respectfully took the decree, and then retreated.
Xiao Rui specially emphasized this matter in the morning. It was to beat all the civil and military officials and tell them that this was something he was watching closely, and he had to push it down without any extra effort. Whoever dares to fool around, don’t blame Xiao Rui for being cruel and cruel. Up.
……
At this time on the grasslands of Yuan Country.
Temujin, who had occupied the royal court, proclaimed himself a khan, and his brother-in-law, Kehanda, also proclaimed himself a khan, and the two began to fight for the final position of the grassland.
Kehanda’s strength was relatively weak, and he was not Temujin’s opponent at all. Coupled with Guo Jia’s advice for Temujin, he quickly wiped out Kehanda’s forces, and Kehanda was captured alive and escorted back to the royal court.
At this point, Temujin became the only khan in the Yuan Dynasty, and the new leaders of other tribes were all based on his head.
After that, Temujin began to worship the wolf **** and ancestors, becoming a real khan.
On the second day Temujin became a Khan, Guo Jia also started his final plan.
It has been more than four years since entering the grassland. The life on the grassland makes Guo Jia look rough, more like a Yuanren.
At this time, he lived in a huge residence outside the imperial court, which was given to him by Temujin. It was very close to the imperial court. It was the residence of the brother of Quxiulu. It can be seen that Temujin attached great importance to Guo Jia. .
In the secluded study room, Guo Jia took out a brocade box. The box was not something else, it was the Three Corpse Brain Pill.
“Boom…”
At this moment, Guo Jia was shocked by the knock on the door. Guo Jia quickly put away the Three Corpse Brain Pill and said, “Come in!”
Crunch…
A beautiful Yuan country woman walked out, dressed in Yuanren’s unique costume, with braided hair, fair skin, and beautiful appearance.
She is Guo Jia’s wife and Temujin’s sister, Princess Minmin.
“Axu, brother, he sent someone to deliver the letter to invite you to the imperial court to attend the dinner. Brother, he invited the new leaders of the major tribes.” Minmin walked over and said with a smile.
Guo Jia uses a pseudonym, named Guo Xu.
He looked at Princess Minmin, and couldn’t bear it.
This woman truly loves herself, obeys her words, and loves her, but she has a mission and can only feel sorry for her love.
“I see!” Guo Jia said with a smile.
Minmin looked at Guo Jia’s smile, and suddenly walked forward, snuggling next to Guo Jia, and asked, “Axu, what’s wrong with you? I feel something is wrong with you?”
Guo Jia smiled gently and said: “It’s just that your elder brother has finally realized his dream and became the king of the grassland. My mission is also over.”
Minmin smiled and said: “My elder brother said, thanks to your support by his side, you are the biggest hero. This time, my elder brother will definitely reward you heavily.”
At this point, Minmin was a little bit disappointed and said, “Unfortunately, I am useless. I have not been able to help you bred offspring. Axu, or you can marry a few more. I have already helped you find a good look and figure. excellent.”
Guo Jia shook his head. He most understood the reason why Minmin couldn’t get pregnant. The pill prepared by the genius doctor Hua Tuo himself could not find the slightest clue in the Tu Langzhong of Yuan Ren.
“Not in a hurry at this time, I’ll talk about it later.”
Guo Jia put her arms around her, let her lean on her shoulders, then sighed in his heart, and muttered silently: “I’m sorry.”
As night fell, Guo Jia and Minmin entered the imperial court together to participate in a banquet.
This banquet was exceptionally grand, and all the leaders of the large tribes in the grassland were invited.
Temujin was very energetic, and the banquet was in a craze. Temujin pulled Guo Xu up and said to everyone: “Thanks to Guo Xu’s help, he is both my brother-in-law and It’s my answer! Starting today, Ben Khan announced that Guo Xu is the Great Master of the Yuan Kingdom, and one person is more than 10,000 people!”
Guo Jia smiled, and under the gaze of everyone, he took two glasses of wine and handed it to Temujin. He smiled and said, “Your Majesty Khan, your subordinates are ashamed to be ashamed, and congratulate Your Majesty Khan with this glass of wine. !”
Temujin took the wine with a smile, bumped into Guo Jia, and said with a smile: “Come to drink as much as you want!”
After all, raise your head and drink.
Guo Jia then drank it, and the final plan was completed.
The banquet lasted until late at night, and Temujin was drunk. Even Minmin was drunk by Guo Jia and was helped to return home.
After the ugly time, Wang Ting returned to silence.
Guo Jia walked out of the house without telling his servant. At this time, there were two people standing in front of the door.
“Sir, the horses are ready.” Admiration appeared in the eyes of the two people.
They are the spies of Xichang planted in the royal court, and the greatest glory of being spies is to occupy a high position among the enemies. And the person in front of him has achieved the position of the great master of the Yuan Kingdom. This is simply the ultimate dream of a spy. Will he work hard and be able to sit in the position of Khan?
“Thanks for your hard work! Let’s go!” Guo Jia said gently, and took a look at his “home” before leaving immediately.
He needs to go back to his real home.
