: There is so much ignorance about the past and the present, but learning is useless!

Hearing Cao Shangzheng's question before, Yan Liqun had a bad feeling, but now his heart skipped a beat.

This kid is talking nonsense again...

Huang Yuchui glared and shouted angrily: "Get out, get out!"

"Discussing the imperial examination is a major matter in the court and should be rigorous. Those involved must have literary literacy, but letting this guy get away with it is simply a big joke!"

"Yes, Master Yan, if you don't expel this son, it will be difficult for Tian to obey your order,"

"right,"

There were louder shouts from the surrounding area, and Yan Liqun was so busy that he spoke: "Wang Kang, you are a well-educated bachelor in the capital, so don't talk nonsense!"

"Why don't you take it back and apologize to all your lords?"

"Apologise? Who cares about his apology?"

Cao Shangzheng's goal was achieved. This was exactly the situation he wanted to see. Although he was content in his heart, he pretended to be angry.

"Snapped!"

He suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "That's nonsense. I'm afraid you don't even know what the imperial examination is, and you still talk nonsense. The content of the scientific examination has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and it has a long history!"

"It's also the result of all our deliberations. You actually said that we were completely off track. It's all nonsense!"

"Why don't you get out of here quickly!"

"Yes, get out quickly and save me from staining my eyes!"

"Why should I go out?"

Facing all the accusations, Wang Kang said calmly: "You think I really want to be here, listening to your conversation, I haven't said that you have tainted my ears,"

"you……"

"Master Yan, this is the person from your etiquette department!"

Yan Liqun also felt that this was a bit too much. There were all Hanlin bachelors and court officials present, so it was too harsh to speak like this.

Before Yan Liqun could speak, Wang Kang said: "Master Yan, you have to make the decision for me. It was Master Cao who asked me to give my opinion."

"The purpose of this meeting is to brainstorm and express your own opinions. Since you are asking me, why not give me my own opinion?"

"You're obviously talking nonsense, but you still want to give me an opinion?"

Cao Shangzheng snorted coldly, "Then tell me, if you can't tell me how ugly you are, we will definitely write to your Majesty to punish you!"

"Yes, tell me, which sentence I'm waiting for is nonsense?"

Wang Kang looked around at everyone, most of them looked at each other coldly, only two of them remained silent.

He snorted in his heart and didn't want to get involved in this matter, but these people kept forcing him.

Anyway, let me tell you,

Thoughts flashed through his mind, he looked at Cao Shangzheng and asked: "Before that, I would like to ask Mr. Cao, what is the significance of holding the imperial examination?"

"The imperial examination is naturally used to select officials and recruit talents for our court."

Cao Shangzheng said impatiently: "You don't even know this, what else can you say?"

"The imperial examination is the selection system for civil servants!"

Wang Kang continued: "Because officials are elected by subject examinations, they are called imperial examinations!"

"Then what is an official? What is a scholar?"

Wang Kang asked himself and answered: "Participate in political affairs and become an official!"

"Select the best to be admitted as scholars!"

"Officials are managers, so they should naturally select capable and talented people,"

"Officials should be like this: honest and gregarious,"

Wang Kang's words made many people nod subconsciously.

"Honest" and "gregarious" are the two criteria for being an official.

"Honest" means to adhere to a pragmatic work style, not to do things that are false and empty, but to do practical things, do good things, and solve problems,

"Being gregarious" means adhering to the mass line, not breaking away from the masses, being close to the people, loving the people, caring for the people, and happy for the people...

After everyone thought for a moment, they understood what it meant. They all looked at Wang Kang in surprise. How could he see him like this?

Cao Shangzheng said slightly unnaturally: "What do you think this has to do with the imperial examination?"

"Of course it does matter!"

Wang Kang smiled and said: "Then let's talk about the imperial examination. Since it is to select officials, it is natural to select talents who have the ability to govern. This is correct,"

"But what is the content of the scientific examination that you just talked about? It focuses on Ming Jing, Mo Yi, poetry..."

What is the so-called Ming Jing?

The test is to memorize, open any one of the Four Books and Five Classics, turn to any page, cover other words with only one line missing, and then complete the next few words after this line.

Then pick a sentence at random and ask the examinee to explain its meaning.

There are also strict requirements for writing articles. There are strict requirements for the number of words in the article.

There are strict requirements on the length of sentences and even the intonation of each sentence...

Wang Kang thought about it and said: "Then let me ask you, what is the significance of this kind of exam?"

"All kinds of restrictions, rigidity, and hard memorization have become ideological shackles that restrain candidates, making it impossible for people to innovate academically and ideologically!"

Wang Kang looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "I would like to ask you, what is the significance of such an imperial examination?"

"What talents do the selected officials have?"

"They are just some people who only understand and endorse!"

"It's just nonsense,"

When Wang Kang finished speaking, Cao Shangzheng immediately shouted angrily: "The imperial examination has been around for a long time and has been used to this day."

"You are a young man from a rich family, but you can't read, so what do you know?"

"I don't know how to read?"

Wang Kang sneered: "Master Cao, it seems you really don't know who I am!"

"You have also been to Xinfeng City. Mongolian learning and the Three-Character Classic are popular there. Both children and adults can read and recite it!"

"I'm running a new school in Xinfeng University. You don't know anything about this. You are ignorant and old-fashioned. You are the only one who still presides over the imperial examination?"

"Is it you who doesn't understand or I who don't understand?"

Wang Kang questioned him repeatedly, leaving Cao Shangzheng speechless.

"Jinshi focused on pronunciation and rhyme, and were ignorant of ancient scriptures. They only tried to memorize and recite the scriptures, but their meanings were useless to learn!"

When Wang Kang spoke, his voice gradually rose,

"In my opinion, these flashy, old and rigid things should be abolished directly!"

"Leave behind something truly practical and use it to select talented people so that they can contribute to the development of the imperial court!"

In the whole room, only Wang Kang's voice roared, and everyone was silent!

Even a Hanlin scholar like Huang Yu was speechless.

No one noticed that the eyes of the sixty-year-old official who had been working beside Yan Liqun were getting brighter and brighter.

This person is a person who knows political history and can meet the saint directly!

Another one is an old scholar of the Imperial Academy. For example, Huang Yu is just an attendant bachelor, but this one is a real bachelor of the Imperial Academy!

No one noticed that the old scholar gently stroked his beard and looked appreciative!

Huang Yu and others all looked ugly. They had previously ridiculed and scolded Wang Kang for not understanding the imperial examination and talking nonsense about the imperial examination. Now it seems that this is not the case at all!

It’s not that I don’t understand, I still understand quite a bit,

Regarding the meaning, process, and content of the imperial examination, we analyzed the pros and cons in several towns, and it was reasonable and orderly!

But this idea is really scary!

As Cao Shangzheng said, the imperial examination system has a long history, and the content of the examination has been continued to this day. Such a major change is too unrealistic and difficult to accept...

At this time, Wang Kang stood up and said in a cold voice: "You asked me to make suggestions, and I have already made them."

"Since you don't want me to be here, I won't even bother to stay. Please do as you please!"

After that, he walked towards the door and was about to step out when suddenly a voice came from behind,
Chapter completed!
