Zhan Hui, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Censor of Zuodu, has been gently turning the cup in his hand, quietly watching the words of the two colleagues in front of him who have known each other for many years.

After Ru Yu finally vented the depression accumulated in her heart.

Zhan Hui smiled slightly, and then laughed out loud.

Wait until Ru Yu looked at him in confusion.

Zhan Hui then said: "Now, I think we should pay more attention to the assessment and appointment of officials in Jiaozhi Road."

Ru Yu curled her lips: "What's the point of concern? Jiaozhi Road is a newly conquered area. Everything must be simple, simple..."

Having said this, Ru Jin suddenly closed her mouth and her eyes gradually widened.

Zhan Hui snorted: "In addition to Gao Yangzhi, the number one scholar in the two rankings of Jinshi in the 25th year of Hongwu, there are also some remaining Xinxue Jinshi who directly took office. Others include Juren who were recruited to go south.

, there must be an assessment before selecting officials and taking office."

Ren Hengtai patted Ru Yun on the shoulder and whispered: "I have personally watched this matter. I chose Jiaozhi Road to punish me, to be an inspector, to take the Ming Dynasty law test, and to take the Ming Dynasty law test. To be the chief executive officer, and to take arithmetic, agriculture, etc.. Choose

Qinghua Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Jiaozhi Dadu Commandery Envoy, additional military art test."

Rujun's eyes shrank involuntarily.

Zhan Hui looked at him with a smile and said faintly: "Now you understand why I said this. The two-ranked imperial examination scholar is no longer the way for scholars in our court to reach the sky and enter the officialdom in one step.

Jiaozhi Road is a newly conquered area, and everything is based on stabilizing the situation. But even so, when Taisun was in charge of Jiaozhi, he still had to add this official selection and assessment system, which is evident.

Now that Taisun has returned to the capital, he has been crowned with ten crowns, and he has served under the Ming Dynasty. Liangyu thinks, will Taisun bring what Jiaozhidao did back to the Central Plains?"

Ru Yu's face gradually turned pale, and after a long time, her throat twitched a few times.

"Is there no other way?"

At this moment, the minister in charge of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body.

Not for yourself.

Just for the future of civil servants in this world.

Zhan Hui looked sideways at Ru Yu: "There is a way, do you dare? Are you willing?"

Rujun shook her head.

There are many ways, but he neither dares nor is willing.

"Just wait, wait for the day to come, wait for what the future will be like."

Zhan Huiyou spoke quietly, reached out to pick up the tea lid, and covered the teacup in front of him.

Ren Hengtai took a look, stood up, and pulled Ru Yu.

"Brother Zishan, the two of us are leaving."

Zishan is Zhan Hui’s word.

Zhan Hui nodded silently.

Watching Ru Yu and Ren Hengtai leave, their eyes flickered moment by moment.

No one knows what tomorrow will be like, or whether the day they envisioned will come.

However, the contradiction between civil servants and imperial power has clearly created a gap.

When will there be a complete breakup?

Even Zhan Hui, who has been in charge of the civil service for many years and can be called a heavenly official, would not have thought of it.

…………

"The honeymoon period is over."

In the small study room of the East Palace, Zhu Yunxi said silently. Then he raised his head and looked at Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing in front of him.

Today, the small study room in the East Palace has basically become a gathering place for the three of them.

However, after the wedding on August 15th, this gathering place will be replaced by the Taisun Mansion outside Xi'an Gate and next to Qingxi Jiuqu.

There were no classes in the main hall today, so Zhu Shangbing rarely came over. At this time, he kept turning his head to find the good things in the small study and bring them back later.

Zhu Gaochi also looked around and said: "When the Ministry of Industry built Taisun's Mansion, did they build such a small study? It would be best not only to have a fire wall, but also a fire channel, otherwise when winter comes this year,

But you can’t treat others well.”

Listening to Xiaopang's words, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but roll his eyes. Ever since the last time he mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, and wanted to get him into the court, this guy has deliberately avoided these things.

With a slight cough, Zhu Yunxi said in a deep voice: "Don't pretend you don't understand."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "I really don't understand, what is the honeymoon period you are talking about? I looked back on ancient books, and no book mentioned what month the honeymoon is.

. Is it March or April, when flowers bloom?"

Zhu Yunxi sighed: "I'm afraid the harmony between us and the civil servants is coming to an end."

"We?" Zhu Gaochi frowned and was silent for a moment before continuing: "Pan Geng moved to Yin, Guan Zhong sought Qi, Li Kui's reform, Shang Yang's reform, Hanwu's reform, Wang Mang's reform, Western Wei's reform, Kaiyuan's reform, Qingli's New Deal

, Yuanfeng's restructuring, Xining's New Deal.

Over the past thousand years in the Central Plains, the above-mentioned reforms and restructuring have not been fully described. They are so vast. Can we see that there is a time of harmony? Reform and restructuring, can there be peace in all directions? Looking at the past and present, we have never seen anything go smoothly. Why is Taisun so good today?

It only adds to the worries?"

Zhu Yunxi said quietly: "Any innovation will inevitably cause turmoil. In the past two years, I just moved here and there, and my grandfather was pressing on me, so it seemed calm.

But what happens in the future? There is no room for negotiation on innovation. Will Zhan Hui and the others still support it as always? If the imperial court cannot unify the idea of ​​innovation, what will happen to the world? In the end, it is the people who will experience the turmoil of the imperial court."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered.

In fact, when he mentioned the common people at this time, it was just an excuse.

The real reason is that the turmoil in the court will delay all of your plans. Once the court is unstable, no one will have the energy to focus on other places.

The complicated and chaotic situation in the court will attract everyone's attention, and they will be exhausted to deal with the endless political struggles that arise one after another.

Then will be the real disaster.

Zhu Gaochi snorted and stared at Zhu Yunxi faintly: "At this time, brother Xi still has such a compassionate heart? The matter of Zhang Ergong and other craftsmen and officials is just an introduction. You, me and them all feel that

Clearly, the official selection and assessment system on Jiaozhi Road is the point of conflict."

Zhu Yunxi nodded silently.

He also knows that the official selection system is the real root cause.

No matter what kind of innovation, in Zhu Yunxi's view, it is a new interest group competing for the power held by the old interest group.

It can also be said that these are all internal battles.

No one will be spared from the changes in the elective officer system.

The system of promoting filial piety and incorruptibility laid the foundation for the emergence of powerful families in the world, and created the emergence of the family such as the fourth and third princes of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Benchu. The subsequent nine-level Zhongzheng system further consolidated the interests of the powerful families and gave birth to the century-old storm of the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.<

/p>

Therefore, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, the imperial examinations were vigorously carried out, and the battles between the imperial power and the clans in the court continued.

Finally, the official selection system with the imperial examination as its core was completely victorious in the former Song Dynasty. The ancient phrase "family clan" completely disappeared in the Central Plains, and the scholar-bureaucrat class emerged. In today's Ming Dynasty, the gentry and landlord class with the scholar-official class as the core, and the emperor

Together we control the world.

The emperor was the largest landowner in the Central Plains, while the scholar-bureaucrats and gentry landlords were the small landowners and tenants of the big landlords.

Now, the official selection and assessment system he implemented in Jiaozhi Road has directly impacted the official selection system with Confucian imperial examination as its core, and will also impact the interests of people in the entire system.

Jiaozhi Dao’s official selection and assessment system and its reasons, Zhang Ergong and others were promoted as white craftsmen, which was the breaking point.

From then on, anyone in the world can be an official as long as they have skills, and they can be an official as long as they can pass the examination. So what about the Confucian imperial examination?

Zhu Yunxi said in a deep voice: "In fact, they have a choice, but they may not be willing to change their thinking that has been accumulated for hundreds of years."

Zhu Gaochi showed a trace of curiosity and confusion.

In his opinion, this is a non-negotiable matter. How come Brother Xiu has a choice?

"Actually, I don't have the intention or courage to push everything aside and start a new fire to make food. That is what will lead to chaos in the world." Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered: "The imperial examination is still the basis for selecting officials in the Ming Dynasty, but it is not

It’s just a matter of exhausting the articles of sages. Compared with the people of the world, they have natural advantages. So, how come they don’t have the opportunity to choose?”

The imperial examination system did hinder Zhu Yunxi's political reform plan to a certain extent.

But now it is obviously unrealistic to completely deny it.

His initial hope was to change the officialdom, which was dominated by Confucian sages and sages, and to have more technical officials who could benefit the people and promote the development of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes and said softly: "So, what are you going to do next?"

"What are you going to do?" Zhu Yunxi muttered, then turned his eyes to Zhu Shangbing, who was still looking at the small study room to see if there was anything good, and then shouted loudly: "Brother Bing, I have been practicing a lot lately, and it's up to you to take care of things later.

!"

Zhu Shangbing trembled with guilty conscience, out of breath and his heart beat wildly. He turned his head and glared at Zhu Yunxi with a face full of grief and anger.
