Chapter 486 Reading, not reading dead books!
Of course, Wang Kang knew that this Hanlin Bachelor was deliberately provoking him, but he still accepted it.
As Fang Xiaolian said, he didn't care about what others thought of him, but he did hold his breath in his heart. No one is a saint.
This is human nature!
Fang Xiaolian knew the disadvantages of scientific research and understood Emperor Zhao's intentions, but he might not have a direction...
This has nothing to do with level, but the limitations caused by the times.
After all, the imperial examination system has been formed by long-term study, and it is not realistic to change immediately. But the current situation is that the autumn examination is approaching and time is tight...
If that's the case, I'll let you talk,
Everyone looked at Wang Kang in shock. He was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, a deputy to the political affairs, and the head of the Ministry of Rites. Wang Kang was of the lowest rank, but at this moment, he became the center!
Yan Liqun shook his head. He finally understood why His Majesty asked Wang Kang to participate in such an important matter...
Because only he dares to say others, dares to say things, dares to do things that others dare not do,
Even though Cao Shangzheng was reluctant, he had no choice. Both adults had already spoken, what was he?
Huang Yu's old face was even more touched...
Seeing Wang Kang like this, Fang Xiaolian's eyes flashed with admiration, and then he asked, "Actually, what you said just now is basically the same,"
"But there are a few more details to ask you,"
“You said,”
"If you say it, what range should the examination content be set?"
“I’ve already said it,”
Wang Kang said, "Reading should not be a waste of studying. The imperial examination should be more like this!"
"In my opinion, the poems, scriptures, and meanings should be cancelled directly."
This opening was an uproar. The imperial examination poems, scriptures, and ink meanings accounted for a large proportion. Wang Kang actually wanted to cancel it directly!
One person said, "Is this some..."
Fang Xiaolian said in a deep voice: "Continue,"
This also blocks the population that wants to refute.
Wang Kang continued: "Cancel these, and focus on the principles of classics, arguments, strategies, and scholars!"
The so-called meaning of the scriptures is similar to the theory, which is a short text, which is limited to using the sentences in the scriptures to do the title and using the meanings in the scriptures to express them.
The scriptures are the common name of the Four Books and Five Classics.
Needless to say, the strategy is based on current current affairs, and the plan is proposed and written.
Like the previous article about the teaching and defense strategy written by Wang Kang,
"The purpose of doing this is to use it through the meridians!"
Wang Kang explained: "Select practical things and get targeted!"
After he finished speaking, no one spoke for the time being, obviously all of them were trapped in thinking.
Wang Kang has already explained the truth, and it depends on distinguishing it himself.
"What you said is barely a tenable place."
At this time, Huang Yu said coldly: "But just these, isn't it too simple for a provincial exam?"
What he said is normal, and the provincial examination is the most difficult step.
The original difficulty lies in posting scriptures, which requires memorization throughout the article, which is extremely difficult.
Now Wang Kang cancels several items directly, and the number of items is reduced. It seems simple on the surface.
"I understand what Lord Huang said, and think it's so simple."
Wang Kang said, "Actually, the proportion of the previous imperial examination was to remember, and what I focused on was to understand,"
"First of all, I never think that the Four Books and Five Classics, and the meanings of each school of scripture are dross and there is no prejudice,"
"What I emphasize is reading, not reading to death!"
This is the second time Wang Kang mentioned this sentence, and once again he sent a life sentence.
"There is no point in memorizing it by rote. The key is to understand it and understand the truth!"
"Well said!"
Hearing this, Ji Ning spoke with appreciation, "Who said you are a prodigal son and you can't read a big word? I think you are more familiar with many scholars."
These words made the man who had mocked Wang Kang, and he was very embarrassed.
Wang Kang continued: "I shook my head all day long, and I remembered it after shaking it for a long time, but I don't know what it means, and I don't know how to use it. This is useless!"
Although this is rough, the truth is not rough.
"Even if you say that, it's still a little easier!"
Another bachelor of attendants said coldly: "The provincial examination is a level 2 examination. Choose one in a hundred. You must strictly select it. Do you think it is a joke?"
Fang Xiaolian also nodded in agreement, but this is indeed the case!
"Of course not,"
Wang Kang said again: "On this basis, some subjects need to be added, Mingfa, Ming character, Mingshuo,"
"Ming method, Ming word, Ming calculation?"
"Isn't this nonsense?"
"Yes, why are you doing this for such a heavy sacrificing imperial examination?"
Clear law is law,
Ming is the word,
Clear calculation is arithmetic,
These projects were not available in the previous imperial examinations, so no wonder people had such a big reaction.
"The word Ming is understandable, but what about Mingfa and Mingsou?"
"The Ming Constitution has nothing to do with the appointment of an official, this is the real extravagance,"
"right!"
Even Ji Ning was a little confused, and the eyes of several people were focused on Wang Kang.
Wang Kang looked at another bachelor's degree, "Does Lord Hao think it's not important to understand the law?"
Hao Cheng snorted coldly, "At least, it doesn't matter in the imperial examination!"
"Ha ha!"
Wang Kang suddenly laughed,
"why are you laughing?"
"With a bachelor like you, I understand why His Majesty is in a hurry to reform the imperial examination,"
"you……"
This obvious sarcastic sentence made Hao Cheng angrily say: "I think you are just messing around. You said that what we have decided has no practical meaning, so what about you?"
"Wang Kang, pay attention to your words," Yan Liqun corrected unhappily.
What this kid said was just a few words, it was really a thorny head.
He is a small doctor in the host and guest office, so he has no awe?
"As an official, you don't understand the law, can you still call him an official?"
Wang Kang said in surprise: "Isn't this ridiculous?"
"You always say that I despise the court rules, but you don't pay attention to it yourself."
"Wang Kang," Yan Liqun glared at him again.
"knew,"
Wang Kang said again: "Etiquette and law are the core and foundation of the imperial court's rule. Scientific examinations are the selection of officials, so naturally they should have this quality!"
"Even if you don't need to understand everything, you can't be a ignorant of the law. Think about it, is this the truth?"
Huang Yu asked coldly: "Let's not talk about this for now, so what's the point of making it clear? "
"In my opinion, Mingshuo is the most important thing!"
Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "This is not only in the imperial examination, but after the classics, and it should be taken seriously!"
"Because Mingsheng is the foundation of all disciplines, and more importantly, it can cultivate people's thinking ability, which is very important for people."
As he said that, he spread his hands and said, "Of course you may not understand what I said, nor can you understand it, but he is indeed a huge deal."
"In short, my main purpose is to be able to select comprehensive talents, which is what we need officials..."
After Wang Kang finished speaking, he looked around everyone. At this time, Fang Xiaolian and Ji Ning looked at each other, and then seemed to have made some decision...
