Civil and military officials stood up and waited for His Majesty to come and issue a sage.

At this time, the sun was rising in the east, and finally the palace heard the proclamation of the imperial edict, "Xuan Tianqi Renxu Enke Wenke Wenwu Tribute to the audience."

Under the leadership of the Ministry of Rites and officials of the Honglu Temple, the civil and military tributes were arranged neatly and entered the hall with the inner officials of the Xuanzhi.

"I am here to pay homage to the Lord, long live my emperor, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long

The officials of the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and all the tribute scholars performed a great ceremony to Emperor Tianqi who sat on the dragon throne - five bows and three bows. This is the explicitly stipulated tribute to the emperor during the palace examination.

"My goodbye, let's be calm!" A majestic but not thick voice sounded.

This is the voice of the emperor, Long live his life, and many tribute students were so excited that their bodies trembled. After a while, they hurriedly got up and stood respectfully in the hall.

Is my turtle-god spirit still vast? Zhu Youxiao had a faint smile on his face and knelt down at you and sat down. It would be impossible not to have a strong aura.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Youxiao said, "I am the first time I have been eligible for the throne. I have received talented people such as you, both civil and military, and I feel so relieved."

"Now the country is in a troublesome situation, and promoting profits and eliminating disadvantages and revitalizing innovation is the most urgent task. In terms of military, the Eastern Capitols are rampant, the local chiefs are in chaos, and the Mongolian tribes are also restless; in terms of finance, the annual income is reduced day by day, the spending is increasing day by day, and the embarrassment is in short supply;"

"In the administration of officials, officials are seriously corrupt and are eager to be eliminated; in the court, there are constant party struggles, and the censors wantonly attacking each other, like a rabies barking, but there is no practical strategy for governing the country, strengthening the army and enriching the people. What is the use of such an official?"

The emperor's sudden high tone scared everyone, and his heart was so awe-inspiring that he couldn't help but lower his head.

Zhu Youxiao calmed down his tone and continued: "Understanding the truth can also achieve change. He dares to make direct advice without being broad-minded, and is strict with himself and can benefit the country and the people. I will remember this to you and the officials in the court."

"I will listen to the Hadith and follow the Holy Ordinances." The officials of the Ministry of Rites took the lead, and the tributes agreed.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, pointed at the Wu Jinshi, and said, "A military general protects his family and country, and does not care about his life. This is my duty, I will not say much. I hope that all the ministers will learn from Yue Wumu, Qi Laohu, become famous generals in the contemporary era, and conquer peace for the Ming Dynasty forever."

"I dare not be loyal to the country and die for Your Majesty."

"For military generals, they will wrap their bodies with horses and bury their bones in green mountains, and their glory is at its peak."

"Working on the battlefield and dying for the country is the duty of a military general."

…………………

Looking at the Wu Jinshi who was so excited that he was so excited that he was loyal to him, he was a little confused about his literary Jinshi.

Some people complained in their hearts: Even if you don’t even care about the etiquette of the court, it’s all messy, and you shouldn’t fail the exam. That is, the emperor is tolerant and has not sued him.

Zhu Youxiao did not think it was offended and nodded repeatedly with a smile. After all, this was something he had someone secretly confessed in advance. I just said it casually, I will not blame it.

Seeing that it was almost done, the emperor raised his hand and the hall immediately became quiet.

"The palace examination policy is my own study of the world's economic and practical knowledge." After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he nodded at the chief examiner Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong immediately bowed and bowed to the emperor and read the imperial edict. The question of the matter was also included in the imperial edict.

After reading, the tribute scholars took their seats one by one. The desks used for the exam were already placed by officials from Guanglu Temple the day before. After they were ready, the deacon began to issue policy questions and answer papers, and then they could start answering questions.

The martial Jinshi retreated to the side hall to answer the armor and answer the papers, but the questions were different.

Answering a strategy topic is like writing an argumentative essay. You must be able to explain the argument and focus on it to diverge your thinking, or analyze the experiences and lessons in history, then connect it with reality and express your own opinions and opinions.

Zhu Youxiao issued three questions, and the Wengongs chose one of them, namely, the opening of maritime bans, the collection of taxes and the rectification of officials.

The martial Jinshi could only choose one of two questions, one was the Liaodong war defense, and the other was the military reform.

In fact, these are all simple descriptions. There are naturally some materials on the test papers for reference. For example, regarding tax collection, we gave an example of the whip method, and listed the pros and cons.

During the palace examination, the emperor usually leaves the venue only after a while. After all, the exam time is all day, and some people answer slowly, so they even let the emperor wait until the sun sets.

Zhu Youxiao was the same, but he persisted until noon. During this period, he read memorials one by one and submitted papers in advance. Wherever he was excited, he asked someone to come and read them first.

I personally invigilate the exam and can submit the papers in advance. This psychological quality is good.

It is said that when the imperial examinations first began in the Song Dynasty, there was no rule in the palace examination that only ranks but not eliminates them.

During the palace examination, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin may not have seen many people, so he decided to make a ranking on the spot.

There were two first batch of papers, and the time difference was not large.

After Zhao Taizu finished the papers, he thought it was good and not very easy to choose, so he asked these two candidates to determine the level of the competition by martial arts. He just fought and whoever could fight would be the top scorer.

Then, a steward who often does farm work won. He knocked the other weak-body to the ground, raised his rough hands high, and looked down on the crowd with panda eyes and won the title of top scorer.

Morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. Since the article is similar, there is nothing wrong with this sports bonus.

Those who can pass the test are actually not much different in articles. Otherwise, let’s stop writing questions and come to the scene to fight, and the last one standing is the top scorer.

Well, Lu Xiangsheng, I look forward to you!

Zhu Youxiao's eyes stayed on the white-faced scholar Lu Xiangsheng for a moment, pursed his lips and smiled with a bad taste. The top scorer with a bruised nose and a swollen face, the second scorer, Tanhua, has never seen it before.

It was not until noon that after Guanglu Temple served meals to the tribute scholars as usual, Zhu Youxiao got up and left, not adding any pressure to the tribute scholars. Many tribute scholars secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The imperial examination has been a tradition of thousands of years.

Even if Zhu Youxiao feels that there are many disadvantages, he has to admit that many famous officials and talents entered the court through the imperial examination.

For example, Wang Wencheng, who Zhu Youxiao admired, was very good at learning the mind, was also very good at calligraphy, and could lead troops to fight. Can you say that people have read the Four Books and Five Classics since they were young, but what use is it?

Of course, the eight-legged essays must be cancelled, and the channels and standards for talent acquisition must also be changed, but this form must be maintained.

Zhu Youxiao returned to Qianqing Palace. After lunch, he ordered the palace servants to send the memorial he had approved last night to the cabinet.

The two memorials were written by Xu Guangqi, who requested the abolition of the craftsmen of the Weapons and Gunpowder Bureau to implement employment management.

After reading Zhu Youxiaoxiu, he waved his pen and not only the Weapons and Gunpowder Bureau, but also the whole country was abolished and exempted from the Beijing Class Crafts price.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao was reminded and inspired, and issued an order to remove the Lehus in the capital, the beggar households in Henan, the coastal households, and the servants in southern Anhui, and were listed as members of the encyclopedia.

Abolishing "craftsmanship" and prohibiting handicraft households from "being officials" can weaken the personal dependence of handicraftsmen, improve their social status and production enthusiasm, and ensure the development of private handicrafts.
