Chapter 513 Limitations
At noon, in Chengtian Hall, tribute students handed over the papers and left. At dusk, the West Mountain was at the end of the assessment, and the invigilators in the hall also began to force the papers.
As the tribute students came out of the palace, the questions of this palace examination were immediately spread all over the city.
Even street vendors who are not knowledgeable can speak out a few words about reform when they open their mouths. Most of the scholars go back to their homes or inns, staying in their doors, waiting for the list of newspapers a few days later.
Although the admission rate for the palace examination is extremely high, even if there is no admission, as a tribute student, there is no problem in becoming an official in the current situation. However, after studying hard for decades, who would not have the fantasy of being a title on the Golden Palace, and who would not have fantasized about the singing title of the Golden Palace and spread it to the world!
The tribute students were waiting to suffer, and the papers in the East Pavilion of the Imperial Palace were reviewing and reviewing the palace examination papers in a intensive manner.
According to past practice, the reviewer must first select the first ten papers and hand them over to the cabinet for review. Generally speaking, the first three palace examinations are also obtained from the first ten papers of the imperial examinations.
This time, naturally, it was also a practice in the previous Ming Dynasty. Until all the palace examination papers were reviewed, the first ten palace examination papers were also taken by the cabinet chief minister to the Qianqing Palace to read the papers in front of the emperor.
"See Your Majesty!"
After entering the hall, the sect and several readers of the book reader also paid homage.
"No gift!"
The emperor stood up, and then put down the pen in his hand. He glanced at the palace examination paper sealed with a cylinder in the reader's hand, then looked at Lai Zongdao and nodded.
Seeing this, Lai Zongdao immediately waved his hand. The document reading officer behind him also hurriedly walked forward, bowed to the emperor, and then carefully took out a paper of the palace examination and read it aloud with a sonorous and powerful force.
The emperor leaned on the dragon's collapse, narrowing his eyes slightly, listening to the passionate literary talent of the palace examination paper.
It was not until the last test paper was finished, and the emperor seemed to have not reacted. After a while, the emperor turned his head and looked at the reading officer: "It's gone?"
"Report to Your Majesty, all ten palace examination papers have been read."
The emperor frowned and looked at the ten palace examination papers that had already been placed on the table in front of him. Then he waved his hand. After several paper-reading officials bowed to the emperor again, they also slowly retreated.
The emperor did not read the palace examination papers on the table. In fact, the emperor noticed it a few days ago in the palace examination. There was no doubt that whether it was the tribute scholars who participated in the palace examination or the palace examination papers in front of him, they were all the best people with both literary talent and classical meaning.
If he stood in a traditional position as an emperor, the emperor might be quite happy, but this time he encountered a great change that lasted forever. Moreover, more than a year ago, he would have made the trend of great change publicly publicized the world without reservation.
Anyone with a little political sensitivity, as long as he pays attention to the government's affairs, he will definitely be able to clearly observe the changes in the court's major strategies.
The scholars are determined to cultivate themselves, govern the country and pacify the world, and they are focused on the affairs of the government and state, and it is impossible for them to have no attention to the government.
However, no matter whether it is the palace examination papers inspected at the beginning or the top ten carefully selected palace examination papers, few of them can deeply conform to the current trend of major changes, and are all too conservative.
It seems that they are all in a cage that is already in nothing. They want to stretch out their hands and feet, but they are always afraid of something. They keep tempting, but they never dare to really get out of this cage that is nothing.
"What does the chief assistant think?"
The emperor stood up, walked to the hall, and asked casually.
"The first ten volumes of this palace examination are all written in pearls..."
Lai Zongdao gritted his teeth and spoke, and he was helpless. How could he not know the emperor's will? However, for this, he broke the past convention and went to the East Pavilion to review the papers himself. He read all the palace examination papers and only barely found these ten copies.
"On weekdays, it can be the best choice."
The emperor shook his head. Although he saw many names in history on these palace examination papers, the limitations of the times were still too great.
Of course, maybe it's because the palace examination is too important.
Lai Zongdao was silent, he really didn't dare to answer these words.
"Okay, I will make Liu Lishun the top scorer, Guan Shaoning the second scorer, and Yan Yingtai the third scorer!"
The emperor waved his hand, but his interest was lacking.
There were really not many things he wanted to change, and he never had any whimsical thoughts on creating a cross-era concept system in this era.
What he wanted to do was nothing more than two points, one was to innovate taxes and increase national income.
The second is to embed new learning into traditional ideology.
The others are all things that are done in the process of implementing these two points.
Now, he has completely eliminated the obstacles of secular reality. Only this obstacle in human heart cannot be solved overnight, nor can it be solved by killing as many people as he sheds blood.
This palace examination, these ten palace examination papers, can be proved clearly.
The limitations of ideas and concepts also require changes in the overall environment and then reverse them bit by bit. In this process, there will inevitably be those who follow the times and those who are stubborn will inevitably be those who are stubborn.
"I obey the order."
Lai Zongdao breathed a sigh of relief, but he realized that it seemed that the reform was about to come, and the emperor seemed to be somewhat impermanent.
He was really afraid that this incident would cause the emperor to be furious again, so he would be really bored.
Before Lai Zongdao could relieve her heart, the emperor's words immediately made Lai Zongdao's heart rise up in an instant.
"After the ceremony of the preaching ceremony, all the Jinshis will be arranged to live in Jinxiu Pavilion."
"Your Majesty, I'm brave..."
Lai Zongdao gritted his teeth and spoke, but he was suppressed by the emperor's eyes. In the end, Lai Zongdao could only bow to the emperor: "Since I, follow the order."
The emperor waved his hand, Lai Zongdao bowed sadly, and said nothing more, then left.
After a while, the emperor slowly spoke.
"Does the governors from all over the country arrive in Beijing?"
"Report to your Majesty, you have arrived in the capital."
Wang Wu immediately replied.
"After passing the order, the day after tomorrow the court will discuss, all court officials in Beijing and governors and soldiers from all over the country must participate."
"Also, let Xu Guangqi come over."
"The old slave obeys the order."
Wang Wu bowed respectfully and then bowed and retreated.
The emperor stood there, frowning tightly, as if the reason why the reform he was thinking about would be fully implemented soon, and his heart seemed to be unable to remain peaceful.
Even if he is restless, it is hard to describe his state these days.
No matter how clear and peaceful the state of mind is, it is difficult for him to have any effect after he has planned for more than ten years of great changes.
Although he was full of confidence, he had removed all the obstacles that could be removed, and even the Kong Mansion had been pinched with a whip and a butcher knife, and he had made it into a puppet with a thread.
But he couldn't let it go.
