Chapter 199 Zhu Yuanzhang Was Dumbfounded: There Were So Many Less Scholars In The Government Examin
Chapter 199 Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded: There are so few scholars in the government examination? Then wouldn’t there be no one who can take the palace examination?
Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, looked at the list of successful candidates in the government examination and his eyelids jumped.
The hand holding this list felt like it was being burned.
I find this list very tricky.
"The number of people taking the government examination is four levels lower than the previous one. Is this okay?"
"If this continues."
"Weren't all those scholars screened out before the examination?"
"The imperial examination is to select talents for the imperial court."
"The emperor also attaches great importance to the imperial examination."
"If the imperial examination fails to select talented people, the emperor will definitely hold him accountable."
"no."
"I must go to the palace to meet the Holy Emperor and inform the Emperor of the status of the imperial examination.
Ren Ang couldn't sit still.
As if his butt was on fire, he took the list of successful candidates in the imperial examination and rode on horseback to the palace in a hurry.
Although he was not an imperial examination examiner.
But he is Ye Xuan's boss.
And he knew that the number of people who passed the government examination was four levels lower than the previous one.
If he knew it and didn't report it.
Wait for Zhu Yuanzhang, the killer, to be held accountable later.
He will definitely be beheaded too.
No one else in the Ministry of Rites could escape either.
A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood emerged in Ren Ang's mind.
Bleeding floating oars.
Headless corpses piled up into a mountain of corpses.
Heads were rolling.
One of them was his own head.
A cold air penetrated into his internal organs, and he gasped and shivered.
The emperor must be informed before this matter becomes a big deal!
Ren Ang whipped the horse and rode it like a horse.
royal palace.
Royal study room.
Mao Xiang was wearing a flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist. He was quite tall, burly and strong, with a faint killing aura emerging from his body.
"Your Majesty, King Yan has stopped attacking Goryeo and has not taken any action."
Mao Xiang reported.
Zhu Yuanzhang is sitting on the official hat chair behind the table, wearing a bright yellow round collar and narrow sleeves uniform, and a Yishan crown with two dragons playing with beads on his head. The policeman's hair and beard are mixed with black and white, and the ends of his eyes and forehead appear. Some wrinkles left by the vicissitudes of time.
He held the memorial in his hand and couldn't help but smile when he heard Mao Xiang's words.
"The fourth child is not stupid."
"He must have inquired about the internal news of Goryeo and knew that the Five Stone Powder was corroding Goryeo. In addition, Goryeo no longer sent troops and instead retreated into the city, so he wanted to recharge his batteries and wait for the opportunity.
"The fourth child is good at fighting, and he can compete with me back then."
"Think about the battle at Poyang Lake. We only had more than 200,000 people, but Chen Youliang had more than 600,000 people. Chen Youliang had the most powerful navy and countless warships. In comparison, we only had a few Small boat. Let’s set fire to Chen Youliang’s boat and defeat Chen Youliang.”
"In the battle between Pingjiang and Zhang Shicheng, we cut off Zhang Shicheng's wings and surrounded Zhang Shicheng's army in Pingjiang. We besieged Zhang Shicheng's army for more than eight months. We attacked day and night, using crossbows, muskets, and Xiangyang weapons. gun…………"
Zhu Yuanzhang became excited when he talked about his glorious deeds.
Mao Xiang didn't dare to interrupt.
Listening silently.
Boom boom.
There was a knock on the door.
Zhu Yuanzhang was interrupted to show off his glorious deeds, his face showed an unpleasant look, and his eyebrows were stained with a bit of violence.
"What's the matter!"
He said coldly.
The eunuch pushed open the door and walked in. He lowered his eyebrows and said:
"Your Majesty, Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, would like to see you."
"Ren Ang?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised.
I don’t understand why Ren Ang came suddenly.
It seems that the Ministry of Etiquette has not been doing much recently.
"Let him in."
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"yes.
The eunuch went out and brought Ren Ang in, while Mao Xiang stepped aside and hid in the darkness in the corner, keeping his presence very low. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to spot a person standing in the corner.
"emperor"
Ren Ang knelt down and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were indifferent, he watched him finish the salute, and then he said, "What's the matter with Aiqing?"
"Your Majesty, please look at this."
Ren Ang presented Zhu Yuanzhang with the list of statistics on the number of people who passed the government examination.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked through it.
Didn't notice anything was wrong.
"What's wrong?"
"Did something happen to the imperial examination?"
He was quite puzzled.
Ye Xuan presides over the imperial examination, so nothing big will happen.
"Your Majesty, take a closer look at the number of people who passed the imperial examination this time."
"The number of people who passed the government examination this time is nearly four levels less than the previous one."
Ren Ang said.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, his mouth opened slightly, and he was extremely shocked.
Four layers missing?
Or is it just a test at home?
The college exam has not been completed yet.
The scholar has not yet passed the exam.
There is a four-level brain drain.
The test questions Ye Xuan asked were too scary, weren't they?
The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched slightly.
This is what happened in the government examination.
Then wouldn’t there be very few people in the subsequent examinations and palace examinations?
In this way, how can he select talents.
Zhu Yuanzhang held his forehead.
Ye Xuan presides over the imperial examination, not to select talents, but to eliminate all talents who are not as good as him, right?
"We already know about this."
"We have a solution of our own.
"You go back first.""
…………Please give me flowers……
"Also, don't spread this matter."
Zhu Yuanzhang reminded.
Ren Ang was surprised.
He originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would be furious, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would be so calm and calm. Is this still Zhu Yuanzhang?
"It seems that the emperor really values Ye Xuan."
"The emperor was not shocked when something like this happened.
Ren Ang sighed in his heart and stepped back.
After Ren Ang left, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Ye Xuan to be called into the palace. He felt that this matter must be discussed with Ye Xuan.
"My dear, we already know the results of this government examination."
“The number of people who passed the government examination was four levels lower than the previous session.
"This is just a government examination."
"Too many talents have been lost."
"My dear, can't the difficulty of your test questions be lowered?"
"If this continues, I'm afraid there won't be enough people for the imperial examination."
Zhu Yuanzhang persuaded him earnestly.
Ye Xuan's method of selecting officials is indeed good.
But we also need more people.
If everyone is screened out.
Isn’t there no one available in the imperial court?
AT&T:....
Reduce the difficulty of test questions?
He felt that the questions he asked were already very simple.
Those candidates who couldn't answer his questions were entirely the candidates' fault, which proved that these candidates were all mediocre. What else could mediocre people choose to do?
But then I thought about it.
If he were to follow the difficulty of his current examination questions, I am afraid that all those people would be screened out in the proficiency examination and the palace examination.
In this case, wouldn’t the imperial court have no one to use?
Officials in the Hongwu period must prepare more.
Otherwise, four major crimes would break out in the early Ming Dynasty.
The murderous Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the officials one after another, leaving the court with no officials available.
Now prepare more officers in advance.
At least it can be used as a backup.
Ye Xuan thought of four major cases.
Kongyin case, Hu Weiyong case, Guo Huan case and Lan Yu case.
Among these four major cases, the Kongyin case involved more than a thousand people.
At that time, there were only about 20,000 officials.
Punish thousands of people.
Accounting for 5% of the total number of officials.
In the Hu Weiyong case, more than 30,000 people were killed.
In the Guo Huan case, Zhu Yuanzhang directly executed all the officials from the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Rites to death.
More than 15,000 people were implicated in the Lan Jade case!
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan felt that he should make the questions simpler so that more people could pass the imperial examination and more candidates could be candidates.
Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang will kill him later.
There are no officials available in the court.
That would be embarrassing.
