Section 131

Chapter 140 Set the test questions

Seeing that Zhu Di's close confidant Xia Yuanji actually wrote a letter.

Jian Yi noticed something bad.

Sure enough, when the cloth was passed into his hands, the bad feeling came true.

This... isn't this the theory of Jia Yi of the Han Dynasty that weakened the princes and strengthened the central government?

Is there any need to discuss it today?

The largest prince is standing in front of you, and the other princes should be weakened and executed.

Moreover, Jia Yi’s theory is not a widely spread faction!

You might as well come up with a Lu Jia Xin Xue or Gong Yang Revenge!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can’t mess with this!

Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites who was present, hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, since the reign of Taizu, it was decided that the scientific examination should be selected from the Four Books and Five Classics, and now it is suddenly selected from other Confucian classics. Is it inappropriate?"

"Isn't it right? There's nothing wrong with it. I think it's okay!" Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu has no interest in Confucian classics at all. He said these words purely out of personal preference.

He didn't know what reason he could explain, so he just talked nonsense like a rogue.

Many courtiers felt bitter in their hearts and did not know what to say.

At this time, Yang Shiqi and other determined princelings are not suitable to speak.

After all, the emperor is sitting in front now. If they ask the prince to help them speak, they will not be able to get away with the crime of bewitching the prince or instigating family ties in the Tian family.

They are still waiting to follow the prince and create a prosperous age.

But we can't just die in this little thing.

The emperor is already over fifty years old.

To put it bluntly, there is no telling when he will ascend to heaven.

After the crown prince succeeds to the throne, aren't they, the important cabinet ministers, the ones who have the final say?

Therefore, most of the bachelors in the cabinet did not speak out about this matter at all.

Zhu Di is a conquering emperor with the style of Taizu, which is not something they can control.

Changing the exam questions does not involve fundamental interests.

Moreover, the scope of the test questions is still Confucianism, but it does not rely entirely on the translation of Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

There's nothing unacceptable about that, it's totally acceptable.

Zhu Di glanced at his old shopkeeper, who is now the Minister of Commerce.

Hurry up and speak up. I am not promoting you to be a mute.

The old shopkeeper, the Minister of Commerce, was also very wise. He came out directly and said: "Your Majesty, I think this topic is very good."

"When recruiting scholars, the imperial court needs talents who are suitable for the imperial office, not a group of nerds who only know how to read."

"I propose that the examination questions every year should be filled with some changes so that many candidates will be occupied. Only in this way can we reflect the meaning of my Ming Dynasty's assessment!"

Jian Yi's eyes widened. He didn't expect this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes to say such cold words!

Jian Yi noticed that his colleagues around him were no longer willing to give advice, so he angrily stepped aside and stopped talking.

That's how things settled.

However, several ministers still felt a little uncomfortable.

At any time, so-called changes will always shake the interests of a group of people who enjoy the benefits.

For example, let’s take this time’s imperial examination questions.

If the imperial examination questions do not change, their descendants can more easily obtain the content of the imperial examination.

Their family members and children may have been reading the Four Books and Five Classics non-stop since they were three years old.

Then he spent more than ten years treating menstruation until he reached the level where he could pass the imperial examination.

But once the specific items of the scientific examination are changed, everything will be completely different.

Although relying on their status, it is not difficult to promote their own children to corresponding official positions.

But the originally simple method of becoming an official has now become a bit complicated, which makes them really uncomfortable.

Although Zhu Zhanji always felt that there was something wrong with the officials' attitude, at least under the pressure of Grandpa Huang, everyone was still in harmony.

Big brother Zhu Zhanji took Zhu Zhankan out together.

There were several palace servants and officials on the road who saluted the two of them respectfully.

The two of them walked out of the palace quickly.

Zhu Zhankan was naturally not interested in returning to the Prince's Mansion, so he took his eldest brother and continued to have fun by the Qingxi River.

Zhu Zhanji said to Zhu Zhankan, "Sixth brother, why do you come to a place like this?"

Zhu Zhanji said this with a hint of coldness in his tone.

Of course, this coldness was not directed at Zhu Zhankan.

But for people who bring Zhu Zhankan to such a place.

This is a place where you can find flowers and ask willows. As a child, Zhu Zhankan should not come to such a place!

"Brother." Zhu Zhankan said casually, "I am not a six or seven-year-old kid anymore."

"Nonsense, you are nine years old. Of course you are not a six or seven-year-old child, but you can't do that kind of thing at nine years old." Zhu Zhanji said seriously.

"Oh~~" Zhu Zhankan showed a look of sudden realization: "Brother, what this means is that you have already done something at your age, right? Is it with Sister Hu?"

Zhu Zhanji's face turned red instantly and said, "What do you mean by this kind of thing? At my age, of course you are... wrong. Children, please don't ask blind questions."

"Tsk, tsk." Zhu Zhankan tried to use spiritual energy to sense Zhu Zhanji's physical condition.

I really felt the tiny fluctuations of life in Zhu Zhanji's body.

Zhu Zhankan's face instantly became serious.

Zhu Zhankan's perception ability has reached a new peak as he broke through to the second major realm of refining qi into spirit.

Especially the powerful power of spiritual consciousness.

Strange signs of life appeared in Zhu Zhanji's body, and the reason is definitely not simple!

No matter what, the elder brother Zhu Zhanji is a strong man in the third minor realm of refining essence into qi.

Parasites, fleas and other creatures in the body have naturally been expelled long ago.

Finally, under Zhu Zhankan's serious pulse, Zhu Zhanji's face was gloomy.

He didn't dare to disturb Zhu Zhankan at all.

"The final result is that most of them were expelled along the land of the five grains. Could it be that they are really parasites? But parasites should not be expelled on their own initiative, right?" Zhu Zhankan frowned.

The elder brother is a cultivator, and parasites cannot survive for a long time.

Combined with being a royal family, the food he takes should be much safer.

Zhu Zhankan mobilized his spiritual energy to form something like a hook.

"Brother, open your mouth!"

Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth with great trust.

Zhu Zhankan inserted the spiritual hook, and the hook slowly descended along the esophagus and entered the stomach.

In the stomach, Zhu Zhankan found a small life emitting a faint vitality.

It was indeed a bug, and it was a small bug.

Crystal clear, thin and long, and emitting an ominous black bug!

Chapter 141 Gu

Zhu Zhankan hooked the little bug out along Zhu Zhanji's esophagus!

"Ugh~" Zhu Zhanji saw this thing coming out of his body and vomited it instantly.

This is too disgusting, what is it!

"Sixth brother, what is this bug?" Zhu Zhanji asked palely.

"It seems to be a Gu worm, not sure, let's take a look." Zhu Zhankan carefully took the small long worm and used a simple method of identifying medicinal materials to start a simple effect identification of the little bug.

Although the results of such identification may not be accurate, at least a lot of effects can be distinguished.

"No arch, similar to reptiles, non-toxic... actually non-toxic?" Zhu Zhankan observed in confusion.

"Isn't it a good thing that it's non-toxic?" Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but ask.

Do you hope that this thing is highly toxic?

If it is highly toxic, your dear brother will die!

"Non-toxic seems to be a good thing, and it is indeed a good thing."
