At the restaurant on Sanshan Street, Xie Jin looked at the candidates walking by outside...

Of course, this is a gift to a person.

Because these 500 new graduates were all disciples of the late Emperor to be precise. From their selection to the entire learning process, the late Emperor presided over them. The late Emperor also had high hopes for them, so the Queen Mother decreed that they would not need to go through various examinations to be directly awarded.

Lift people.

It can be considered as a way to comfort the late emperor.

If this banner is raised, of course no one will object.

Of course, the main reason is that the time is too short, and the Ministry of Rites has been deliberately delaying it, so I simply bypass the Ministry of Rites and give the candidate directly.

"The arithmetic department is opposite to the Ministry of Household Affairs, the engineering department is to the Ministry of Industry, the military department is to the Ministry of War, what is the agricultural department to?"

Zheng Ci, the former Peking Chief Envoy and Councilor, said with great interest.

He was a Jinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongwu.

However, he was exiled for crimes a few years ago. Since the Queen's accession to the throne gave him amnesty, he passed through the capital on his way back from exile.

These Juren people outside, at least in the eyes of outsiders like him, were very different. None of them wore the green robes of Juren. They all wore short brown trousers similar to civilians, and all of them carried sabers on their feet.

He was wearing boots and a felt hat with a sun visor on his head. He didn't look like a lifter, but more like a walking vendor. More importantly, he was surrounded by women, young and beautiful women, and there were even obvious women from the Western Regions.

.

Very beautiful.

"Nongke is a local official."

Qian Yi, who was sitting there drinking by himself, said.

He and Zheng Ci were in the same class.

He is now in the cabinet with Xie Jin, but the cabinet at this time is just a secretariat. After all, the real decision-making is made by Yang Feng, the little princess, and the witch who only has a voice.

Zhang Xianzong, the boss of the cabinet, is qualified to participate in the discussion, but he is limited to participating in the discussion, which is the result of the discussion by the other three people. When there is a serious conflict with the actual situation of the court, he can argue with arguments, but he has no decision-making power.

As for the rest, the current main work is to compile records for Emperor Taizu Gao.

What a good literary talent!

That's what it's for.

In fact, although it was said that there was a mass exodus of officials from the capital, only a quarter of them actually resigned. After all, for the vast majority of officials, it was not easy to get a half-official position, so it would be a pity to lose it like this. Even if Chao Gang

Chaos is nothing more than tolerance. When Emperor Taizu Gao had endured it for decades, why can't he continue to endure it now?

In the final analysis, it was just that the late emperor suddenly relaxed for a few months after he ascended the throne and felt that he could breathe freely, and then suddenly he was replaced by Yang Feng.

Can't breathe again.

Only then did I feel a little unbearable.

But in fact……

It’s not that I can’t bear it.

As long as you are an official, why can't you endure it?

The main reason is that all the six ministers and other senior ministers have left, so it seems that the court is empty, but in fact, most of the middle and lower-level officials are there. What is particularly funny is that the vast majority of those who stayed were from the imperial examination, and those who left were mostly from the Hongwu Ten

Officials recruited before the imperial examination was re-opened in eight years.

Therefore, the Confucian scholars are heartbroken and sad, and it is still difficult for them to abandon the official position they have obtained.

"So, you still left us Confucian scholars with the three subjects of civil service, etiquette, and punishment?"

Zheng Ci said.

"It seems so, but in fact, not a single subject is left for us Confucian students, because liberal arts no longer rely on Confucian classics to select scholars, but on dividing laws, which are court laws. Examine whether the candidates are familiar with the laws and give cases

Which law should be applied, how to impose punishment, and even as a prisoner, you have to write a defense, that is, something to defend yourself. The second order is to pick out a few imperial decrees and let the prosecutor argue the pros and cons.

Improvement. Three Rites, these are about the changes in the Ming Dynasty and the barbarians, the gains and losses of the past dynasties, how to educate the barbarians in the future, the changes in folk customs, etc., but this is not really important, but if you want to write this well, you can learn about all the countries in the world.

Therefore, it is necessary to know the geography, customs and national conditions of overseas countries.

Zhang Mingyuan had previously drafted a draft for the cabinet and asked us to respond. As a result, no one from the cabinet or the editors of the Hanlin Academy was qualified.

There are even those who make people laugh.

Zhang Mingyuan was also helpless, and he made it clear that what Yang Feng did was a conspiracy.

When we enter the body with knowledge, he will find it difficult to gain knowledge.

In this way, if the younger generation wants to enter the world, they can only learn these new learnings, the ways of the sages, and the four books and five classics are discarded like dirty shoes. After a few decades, no one will learn them anymore, and they will naturally be buried in the dust.

What a poisonous intention!"

Xie Jin sighed.

They really have no way to change this situation now. They can only watch Yang Feng complete the layout bit by bit and use new people to squeeze out the Confucian scholars from the court.

This is just a conspiracy, and it's obvious that they did it.

Resist?

What to resist?

"So, Guangzhou is the last pure land?"

Zheng Ci sighed.

"The young talents from the countryside, such as Hu Guangda, Wang Jingzhi, etc., have all gone south. Wen Enke should be built, but Guangzhou is just a bit safe. Yang Feng has not organized the capital yet and has no time to take care of it. Wait until he gets everything sorted here.

, with the soldiers and horses in Guangzhou, I'm afraid they can't stop his army. Wang Bi is just old and decrepit. All his troops are interested in money. Most of his family members are in the north. How can Yang Feng's army go south to resist desperately?

After all, it is Shenzhou Luchen again, and thousands of horses are silent."

Xie Jin said.

He was talking about Hu Guang and Wang Gen. Both of them were Jinshi in the second year of Jianwen. Of course they didn't bother to come to the capital now. After all, it's not far from Ji'an to Guangdong.

However, according to Confucian standards, the Jianwen court can now be said to be full of virtuous people.

The great Confucians from all over the world who disdain to eat Zhou millet have already gone south. The main reason is that Yang Feng has made it clear that he wants to abandon the Confucian scholars. There is no market for them to stay. Asking them to learn new learning from scratch will obviously not make them look good. They are all great Confucians.

, they are all celebrities, why do they still have to squeeze in among a group of children and learn astronomy and geography from scratch?

They would rather die than learn.

The cabinet was completely wiped out in front of Zhang Xianzong's test questions because he was too spineless.

Zhang Xianzong asked them to express their opinions on the exchanges with the Delhi Sultanate. All kinds of knowledge about India are now popular among booksellers, including the geography, religion, country and culture of the South Asian subcontinent. Some of them were written by Yang Feng, and some of them were written by Yang Feng.

It is the record of envoys who went on missions, and there are even those who are specifically looking for sailors. The latter's oral collation of their experiences can be said to be systematic knowledge. As long as these Hanlin and bachelors read a few more books, the whole army will not be wiped out, and

These private books are available in the imperial palace, and they are even the first editions. Many of them are actually sent to the imperial palace before being published.

But few of the academicians who guarded these matters took a serious look at them.

It's not that they don't know these things are useful.

It’s because the New Learning was advocated by Yang Feng.

In order to show their arrogance, they didn't even bother to read it.

Even though they know these are valuable.

but……

I won’t watch it!

I am no longer pure after seeing this!

Even these people are like this, let alone those outside. Until now, there are still Confucian scholars who insist that the dung pill is Yang Feng's demon method. If you eat the food produced by this demon, your mind will be controlled by him.

It's quite a bit like the rotten Confucians of the Qing Dynasty.

In this case, of course, only the Jianwen Dynasty could bring them some comfort. After all, they were still respected Wenquxing in the Jianwen Dynasty, not the old disgusting things in the pseudo-dynasty. However, Jie Jin still

We are very clear about the comparison of strength between the two sides. Besides, they are already officials after all. These Confucian scholars are defecting if they flee south. If the people go south, they are innocent. If the officials go south, they are defecting.

Seize the dead end.

"Then what if Yang Feng can't sort it out all the time?"

Zheng Ci said.

"what for?"

Qian Yi said.

"Yang Feng is only one person after all. If he wants to control various places, he needs officials who obey orders, that is, these are the ones who give people promotions. But after all, the gentry has the final say in each place. These young people can take control of local power with just a piece of paper.

?

If all the gentry in the world resist, can he still ask everyone who goes to take office to bring thousands of soldiers and horses?

He will never be able to defeat the world alone."

Zheng Ci said.
