The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 663

[Chapter 663 I don’t care]

When Emperor Chu heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

As the emperor, he obviously knew much more about the imperial examination than Fang Xiu.

Moreover, Fang Xiu was not only a noble, but also the first in the provincial examination in Gyeonggi Province. It was impossible for him to know anything about the imperial examination.

In this case, what he meant by saying such words couldn’t be clearer.

He looked at Fang Xiu, silent.

After a long time, he slowly spoke: “Keep talking.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Now that the words have been spoken, there is no possibility of taking them back.

Fang Xiu looked at Emperor Chu, gritted his teeth, and bowed: “Your Majesty, I think that there are too many drawbacks in the imperial examination today, and it has reached the point where it has to be reformed. For example, scholars who are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics don’t know what rice is, and they don’t know what rice is. How to dredge the river?

I don’t know how much money and food there is.”

Fang Xiu kept talking for a long time, and Emperor Chu’s expression changed a little.

At this time, Fang Xiu just continued: “The scholars selected by such an imperial examination may have a passionate heart for the people, but what if they are left in the local area for a few years?

I am afraid that even these passionate hearts will be gone. This What do they have left?

I think there is nothing left!”

After saying this, he paused and saw that Emperor Chu was not angry, then he continued: “I think it is better to reform the imperial examination so that talents can enter. The imperial court, on the one hand, cultivates their enthusiasm, and on the other hand, strengthens the censor’s supervision.

In this way, your majesty will gain more talents, instead of just those who are known to all the scholars in the world!”

Emperor Chu heard this !

Here, a thoughtful expression appears on the face.

After a long time, he finally said: “Continue.”

That’s it, what else is there to say?

At this moment, Fang Xiu didn’t know what Emperor Chu was thinking. He hesitated for a while and continued: “Your Majesty, I believe that there will be resistance to the reform of the imperial examination, but we should not give up the reform just because of these resistances, as if we cannot. The gentry

was

opposed to the idea of unifying the land and the Ding with all their strength at first, but once it became an established fact, there was nothing they could do about it! The minister thought that the same was true

for

the reform of the imperial examination!

With some slight adjustments, this is very simple. The strategy of uniting the land and Ding is to cut through the mess quickly, while the reform of the imperial examination must be carried out slowly and subtly.

For example, first set up a separate imperial examination for women, so that people all over the world know that this imperial examination is also possible. Become.

Then the imperial examination, Jinshi subjects, medical subjects, mathematics subjects, chemistry subjects, and physical science subjects can all be set into one subject.” When

Emperor Chu heard this, he frowned tightly.

Of course he knows that there are problems with today’s imperial examinations, which do not bring much benefit to the court. Instead, they have cultivated many useless ‘talents’.

But

there is nothing we can do about it.

Especially for the imperial power, the existence of Jinshi Branch consolidated the interests of the gentry, and it also consolidated the interests of the imperial power.

He understood everything Fang Xiu said, but if he really wanted to put it into practice, it would not only be the gentry that would be defeated, but also the authority of the royal family.

Fang Xiu obviously understood this.

When he saw some changes in Emperor Chu’s expression, he hurriedly bowed and said, “I just made a small suggestion. If Your Majesty feels it is inappropriate, I will never mention it again in the future!”

“Hey.”

When Emperor Chu heard this, he sighed and said slowly: “I only have a few days left to live. If you want to take care of the women’s imperial examination, go ahead. As for the division of the imperial examination, we will talk about

it

later.”

The words neither completely vetoed nor affirmed.

Fang Xiu understood what this meant.

Even the Emperor of Chu himself was not sure what this reform of the imperial examination would bring.

Whether the benefits outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the benefits

is still unknown.

Therefore, Emperor Chu would adopt such an ambiguous attitude.

Emperor Chu sighed leisurely, looked at Fang Xiu, and said: “Fang Xiu, I will not ask about this matter. How to implement it, how to implement it, you can discuss it with the three cabinet ministers and the ministers of the Ministry of Rites.”

When Fang Xiu heard this, he took a deep breath and instantly felt a lot of weight on his shoulders.

He bowed deeply and said, “I accept the decree!”

“I’m tired, you can go down.”

Emperor Chu rubbed his brows, looking a little tired.

When Fang Xiu saw this, he did not bother the Emperor of Chu anymore. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, “I excuse you!”

After he left Nuan Pavilion, he stood in the Yangxin Hall and looked at the blue sky outside.

He took a deep breath.

He had just solved the problem of Di Ding He Yi, but he had found himself another big trouble.

I really don’t know if it’s good or bad.

Why

In fact, at first, he really just wanted to live a life of eating and waiting to die, but the more he saw, the more he thought about it, and he couldn’t turn a blind eye to it anyway.

What’s more,

the Chu country is like this. He has played everything he can play and seen everything he can see.

The next thing I can do is travel around the world.

It would be better, before that, to do more for the Chu State, or for the Emperor of Chu and the people of the Chu State.

This reform of the imperial examination is the most important part.

After the reform of the imperial examination is completed, he will not need to interfere in the future, and Chu State will naturally go on the right track.

If the reform of the imperial examination fails,

it only means that the gentry, common people, scholars, and emperor have reached a balance that cannot be easily destroyed in a short period of time.

In this case, there is no need for him to stay here anymore.

In other words, he has a clear conscience.

At that time, I might leave here and go find the adventurer Charlie, walk around and take in the scenery.

After all, he has never left this land in his two lives.

Fang Xiu sighed, determination reappeared in his eyes, and he walked towards the cabinet.

In the main hall of the cabinet, the three cabinet ministers were all in the same room.

The house is naturally heated.

Other than that, there is no difference from Nuange.

After all, this is where the three pavilion elders handle memorials, so it’s not a big deal if the standards are higher.

“Pavilion elders, Xin’an has arrived.”

Fang Xiu stood outside the main hall, and naturally someone announced it.

“Marquis Xin’an? Please come in quickly.”

“Yes, sir!”

Fang Xiu walked into the main hall, looked at the three gray-haired pavilion elders, stood upright, and bowed.

“Junior has met three pavilion elders.”

“”

“”

“”

Yanzhuang and the other three people heard what he said and saw his behavior, all of them panicked.

Who is this Xin’anhou?

What don’t they know?

He can actually call himself a junior, be so polite, and even meet three pavilion elders.

If it is said that there is nothing wrong, then they cannot believe it no matter what!

“Ahem!”

Yan Zhuang looked at Fang Xiu with a serious expression, thought for a while, and said tactfully: “What happened to the Marquis of Xin’an again?”
