Zhu Gaoxu adopted a strategy from childhood to adulthood and began to work on his ideas.
At first it did not involve the rules and morals of the entire dynasty, nor did it change the existing composition of power.
He just didn't want to become like his father, Zhu Di. While exposing fear to others, he was also in fear for a long time and did not even dare to get close to his concubines at will.
Even so, Zhu Gaoxu had just done something different and immediately received various intimidating memorials.
Generally, those who dare to intimidate the emperor will end up miserably.But as long as you add a motivation for your good intention and make some sense, the effect will be different.
For example, the memorial of Xie Jin of the Hanlin Academy dissuaded the emperor from establishing the Military Academy.
Xie Jin's words were very terrible, saying that the emperor would repeat the mistakes of warlord separatism at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and that the country would not be in a state. In order to ensure that Zhu Gaoxu's throne was stable, he did not hesitate to give direct advice on his death.
Xie Jin's reason was that if the children of soldiers gathered in one place to study, these children would enter various military camps and act as military generals when they became adults, which would inevitably form cliques and cause harm to the country and court.
The little girls raised by Xianshutang are literate and polite, so their mothers and brothers will be more likely to choose the right martial arts generals to marry each other and further form a party and join forces.
Even Zhu Gaoxu summoned his confidant Qi Tai and asked about his opinion on this memorial; Qi Tai's reaction was not very strong, and he only said that it was not a bad thing to prevent the problem from escalating.
Civil officials who came from the imperial examinations would also form cliques, and fellow villagers and various friends in the same year; since the dynasties of Hongwu, Jianwen, Yongle and Hongxi, colleagues who had been loyal to a certain emperor would also form cliques.
However, officials seem to have a consensus that the harm of civil servants forming cliques is far less than that of military generals forming cliques; because warriors may move towards mutiny or warlords.
Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu was not scared, he had his own independent thinking model.
Judging from the current Military Preparatory Academy, the consequences may not be as serious as civil servants say; as for what consequences will become in the future, how do people now care about it?
(In the future, the Chinese people will become as numb and poor as in the old photos in the late Qing Dynasty. Who would have expected that? Just like the appearance in the photos, it seems reasonable that the entire country will be despised and insulted by all countries.)
First of all, the current civil servants are generally very low in grades, but they have great power, and the power of the military general group has been divided.
Secondly, hereditary officers in the military system are still the main source of military generals, and they are not the same as the officers from school.
So Zhu Gaoxu ignored the opposition of civil servants for the time being.
The officials wrote a letter to express their dissatisfaction directly, which was just a slight means; Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how they would do it in the future and whether the conflicts would escalate.
However, he alone evaluated the contradictions and believed that the core power of civil servants has not yet shaken, and everyone will not be able to do anything.
Zhu Gaoxu was also filled with all kinds of remarks.
Miao Jin was very curious and believed that among the emperors of all dynasties, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to care about the lower-class military and civilians very much.
He didn't agree because he couldn't explain it; he couldn't say that because he was at the bottom for many years before, he felt more empathetic to the people's demands...
On March 15, the first year of Wude, Zhu Gaoxu presided over the palace examination, this time he was called Ji Chou Enke.According to the three-year examination and palace examination system, March this year is a perfect day.
Using the previous model, scholars who study hard and gain the highest level of fame and fortune, and thus enter the circle of power of the dynasty; the test questions are all given by civil servants, and the standards are based on Confucian Neo-Confucianism and the establishment of words by sages.
This was the main source of state power in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Gaoxu followed the customs and was recognized by civil officials in the dynasty and scholars all over the world.
Qi Tai, Hu Yi, Xia Yuanji and others participated in the question setting.Zhu Gaoxu randomly chose a plan for the problem, and the core is the same thing anyway.
I have inherited my vast career and been prosperous. Since the arrival of the imperial court, I have been vigilant and motivated day and night, so as to seek the ultimate truth, so as to promote the transformation.But Tanzan said: rituals, music, punishment and governance, and if you understand the four things without contradicting them, then the kingly way will be ready.It is also said that rituals and music are the foundation of the country, and punishments and policies are the auxiliary of the country. It is considered to be from ancient times, Boyi rituals, and later Kui music, which is more popular in the Book of Changes.As for the gains and losses of the three generations, we should make rituals based on human feelings, and tone the five sounds to create music. At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, we should not spread or hide, and I will personally read it.
His literary talent is still good, and he quotes many allusions. Fortunately, he has the help of bureaucrats, otherwise Zhu Gaoxu would not be able to write such an article.
He still remembers that Zhu Gaoxu had read well in the books and calligraphy, but it is easy to make a joke to write articles in front of the tribute scholars who have read the scriptures.
The rituals and music in it are the foundation, and criminal policies are only auxiliary speech. If Zhu Gaoxu wrote it, they would not mention it.But the other few policy issues are almost the same.
In this year's examination, the Ministry of Rites selected 84 tribute scholars, and everyone was waiting for the palace examination to be upgraded to Jinshi. According to the rules, no one would be eliminated.
Zhu Gaoxu personally reviewed the article. He wanted to read 84 classical Chinese articles, which were all allusions. Sometimes he was confused because after forgetting some rare allusions, he couldn't figure out what the article wanted to express.
But it doesn't matter. Zhu Gaoxu doesn't care about the subtle differences in literary talent and thoughts between them.
So Zhu Gaoxu picked a few well-written and neatly written articles. As the first class, he chose a calligrapher named Xiao Shizhong as the top scholar.
As for the arrangement of the second and third arsenals, it depends entirely on everyone's luck.
Zhu Gaoxu has to admit that the feeling of mastering the fate of others in one thought is still very pleasant.
However, one of them was still an article that attracted his interest.The reason is simple, he saw different voices from literati.This person's name is Liu Ming.
Zhu Gaoxu did not fully agree with Liu Ming's article, but he saw that this person's words were different.
Liu Ming has a paragraph, which means that everyone can have their own understanding of the saint's scriptures and is just a reference for exploring the Ming Dao; this kind of remark cannot be a concept of Neo-Confucianism.
Zhu Gaoxu first thought of a sentence: There are a thousand Hamlets in one thousand readers.
Then he thought of a similar statement about the study of the mind (Lu Jiuyuan: If you learn to know the original, I will write the six classics).
Although Zhu Gaoxu was not as good as a scholar in writing this kind of classical Chinese, he read a lot of books in the Ming Dynasty, and although he could not memorize the classics he was studying, he also knew what he said; so he saw that Liu Ming might believe in the Song Dynasty's Heart Studies.
The various philosophies of the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Age of Confucianism were almost unsuccessful in the Ming Dynasty thousands of years later.
However, Confucianism has different minds and was produced relatively soon, and there were many followers hidden until the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Gaoxu was in the East Warehouse, reading this article twice in a row, and sat on the chair and pondered for a while.
When Liu Ming took the imperial examinations at all levels, he must have written content about science, otherwise he would not be able to get the imperial examination.
But why did he write such a remark that is not recognized by Neo-Confucianism during the palace examination?
Maybe the sentence in the title is not to be broad or hidden, I will personally read it to encourage Liu Ming; in addition, the palace examination will not fail, and the risk is relatively low, which undoubtedly inspired Liu Ming again.
However, a little lower risk does not mean there is no risk.The articles in the palace examination will be archived, which means that ministers can also see them.Liu Ming wrote this, even if Zhu Gaoxu let him go, wouldn’t he be afraid of being excluded by court officials?
Some people are unwilling to compromise with the world for the sake of belief.
Liu Ming seems not to be that kind of person, because he has written many Neo-Confucian articles to reach the palace examination.
His purpose may be to attract Zhu Gaoxu's attention.
Such a purpose is undoubtedly successful.Zhu Gaoxu didn't read the articles of the top scholar very carefully, but he read the things written by Liu Ming twice.
Zhu Gaoxu weighed for a while and ranked Liu Ming behind the third place.
What he did recently has caused concern and dissatisfaction among court officials, and he does not want to cause conflicts between the monarch and the ministers for the time being; for example, what kind of waves will be caused in the court by ranking Liu Ming as a scholar of his mind?
He didn't need to do that at all, because those who did not have a high ranking would definitely be reused.
...After the golden list was posted, Zhu Gaoxu gave a regular banquet in Fengtian Hall to congratulate the newly promoted imperial elites, Jinshi and the people who were ranked first in the exploiting class, called Jinshi Enrong Banquet.
For scholars who have just studied hard, the banquet at the palace hall is so high that they can brag about in front of the villagers for a lifetime.
However, the dishes are actually very simple. With the small plate, there are no more than ten dishes, and there is nothing particularly precious.
Fortunately, the court's savings did not affect the excitement of the Jinshi. What to eat doesn’t matter. Where to eat and who to eat with are the key points of the banquet.
Even if there are only a few dishes, the Jinshi will prepare to pack after finishing their work. They urgently need to take the food from the palace and seek credit from their parents, wives and children who have been in poverty for many years without complaints and have been serving their careers and studies.
Zhu Gaoxu issued an order to ask the Jinshi to go to the imperial court to see him in batches.The new Jinshi he paid the most was Liu Ming, who ranked behind in the third place.
This is a thin and yellow young man in his twenties, wearing a silk robe from the Ministry of Rites, but he couldn't hide the lining inside his coat. There was a patch on his collar.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately judged: This is a person with political ideals.
His reason for judgment is very simple.
The poor family background means that there is not much relationship to rely on in the officialdom and in comparison; so Liu Ming dared to take risks and hoped to get the attention of the emperor.
If you are a Jinshi who doesn’t want to do a career, why do you have to pay any attention to the cost and get power?
For Zhu Gaoxu, if he could make use of the battle between good intentions and Neo-Confucianism, he would be able to make the water mess, and the civil officials on both sides would pay too much attention to the dispute between the school; at this time, Zhu Gaoxu would make more in-depth changes, which would be possible to transfer contradictions and take advantage of the situation.
After a whistle, Liu Ming stood up.Zhu Gaoxu gave him a meaningful look.
At first it did not involve the rules and morals of the entire dynasty, nor did it change the existing composition of power.
He just didn't want to become like his father, Zhu Di. While exposing fear to others, he was also in fear for a long time and did not even dare to get close to his concubines at will.
