Chapter 347 Palace Examination (2)
Xuan paper is snow-white, mounted seven layers, unfolding slowly, the fragrance of ink mixed with a touch of sandalwood is refreshing, and the exquisite and neat fonts like printing come into Zhu Pingan's eyes:
I follow the destiny of heaven to succeed the emperor, rule the eight wastelands and guard against the myriad extremes, shepherd billions of people, and shelter the world, so that they will be able to live in salty land and regain their livelihoods. No shame.
The husband and the people must have land for farming, land for sericulture, food and clothing, so that they will not suffer from cold and starvation. In addition, the soil should be safe and secure, free from thieves, thieves, bandits, and swordsmen, so that the suffering of displacement can be avoided.
If the husband does not have the people to cultivate, how can we eat? How can I wear clothes without silkworms? How can there be no security? The three of them are also those who are worried about what I think. However, today, there are few people on the cultivated land but many people who eat them; there are few people on the sericulture but many people who wear them; Flood disasters occur endlessly, and severe droughts are not uncommon. Bandits and robbers are endless in the territory. The barbarians in the north harass the frontier. It is becoming more and more prosperous.
Mourning the hardships of the people's livelihood, lamenting the worries of the country. I am definitely not the master of the world. I have no way to transform the sky, and I can't rule the country in peace. To this day, the only way to change power is to find a good strategy and govern the country in Anbang. The people have fields and clothes, and the world is peaceful. How can there be no reason to follow the Tao and return to transformation?
I am not ignorant, all the tributes, who are clear about reason, understand current affairs, and read a lot of books to support me, Enke has been here for a long time. You can directly report what you have seen and known, and report it in the scroll, and I will read it personally, so don't be afraid or hide it.
The full text has a total of more than 400 words, and this is the entire content of the palace examination questions.
Zhu Pingan rubbed his forehead slightly. Yesterday Zhuangyuan Lou Zhuang had a banquet and stayed up all night. It was too exhausting. When he first entered Xiyuan, his energy was slightly refreshed. When he met Emperor Jiajing, his energy seemed to be overdrawn. Jumping, my head felt tired and dizzy one after another.
Zhu Ping'an rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes for a moment, and read the test questions again.
Emperor Jiajing’s test question is translated like this:
I, Jiajing Shuntian, inherited the throne of the Ming emperor and became the master of the people in the eight barren world. To protect the whole world, I must let the people in the whole world have land to cultivate and work to support their families. Only in this way can I Only by fulfilling the duty of obeying the mandate of heaven and protecting the people can I have a clear conscience.
If you want to stabilize the people, you must let them have land for farming, mulberry land for raising silkworms, food for food, and clothes for living, so that they will not suffer from hunger or cold. In addition, the whole world must be pacified, the world will be peaceful, no bandits will harass the people, and they will not be exposed to the danger of war, so that they can live in peace without worrying about being displaced.
If ordinary people have no land, how can we grow food, and what will we eat? Without mulberry land to raise silkworms, what would we wear? How can we live in peace without peace in the world? These three points are what I Jiajing is very worried about. But now, there are fewer and fewer fields, but more and more people are eating, fewer and fewer are raising silkworms and weaving cloth, and more and more are wearing clothes, and the country and society are not stable. Floods, droughts, people rebelling in Wangtu, thieves also emerge in endlessly, the northern barbarians often harass my Ming Dynasty, and the pirates on the southeast coast are also uneasy, from Shandong to Jiaozhi without stopping, the more It's getting serious.
My heart is bitter. I know that I, Jiajing, am not the lord of the world. I can’t participate in the secrets, and I can’t govern the country in peace. I often can’t sleep in the middle of the night and worry about the country. I think it is necessary to change things now, and I have to find a good way to govern the country. If the common people had food, clothing and housing, and the entire Ming Dynasty was peaceful, how could there be bandits rebelling?
I am not an ignorant person. You tributes are also well-versed in the truth and current affairs. Don’t you read so many books just to help me in Jiajing? I have been waiting for you for a long time. So, you all directly tell me what you know and think, and write it on the paper, and I will read it for myself. Don't be afraid at all, let alone hide it.
The Lord of Zhongxing took the initiative to accept advice. It seems that Emperor Jiajing had a posture of striving for governance. This was Zhu Pingan's first reaction after reading the test questions.
The test questions in the hall consisted of more than 400 words, and they were finished quickly. Soon, there was a burst of noise in the hall, mostly excited and excited, only a little bit of surprise.
The purpose of this current policy is to propose good policies for governing the country to Emperor Jiajing! Governing the country and the people, sweeping out Japanese pirates and barbarians, managing floods, droughts and natural disasters, etc., can all put forward their own viewpoints, strategies and methods.
Scholarly, scolding Fang Qiu, isn't this what all scholars are good at!
Learn literary and martial arts, and become an emperor's family, isn't this what all scholars dream of!
How not to get excited! In the Enke Palace Examination, the Holy Majesty took the initiative to accept advice and made great efforts to govern. This is what the famous emperor of the ages, the actions of the emperor of the ages, long live my emperor, long live, long live! The minister has money and plans in his chest!
Most of the tributes in the main hall were excited, and they were almost heartbroken for Emperor Jiajing, and each of them held back their energy to come up with a good policy for governing the country.
"Quiet, no noise!"
An official of the Ministry of Rites issued a reprimand in time. After being reprimanded, all the tributes sat upright, with excited faces but did not dare to make any more noise, and the hall returned to silence again.
Soon, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette also handed out the answer sheets. The answer sheets for the palace examination are also made of snow-white rice paper, and the written test questions are much larger. eight pages. There are horizontal lines drawn with Chinese ink brush on each industry rice paper, no, they are vertical lines, and there are 12 vertical lines in total.
This is the answer sheet for the palace examination. All the candidates touched the answer sheet excitedly and nervously, unable to control themselves for a long time. This roll of paper carries their official career, but it has to be submitted to the imperial examination!
Suppressing their excitement, all the tribute scholars began to write and write. Instead of answering the questions, they first wrote their name, age, appearance, hometown and other personal resume information on the answer sheet according to the requirements of the palace examination.
After writing their resumes, the tribute scholars put down their pens and devoted themselves to sketching out their good strategies for governing the country.
After Zhu Pingan finished writing his resume, he couldn't help but rubbed his forehead again. He was so exhausted that his eyelids were fighting. If it was a place for the palace examination, Zhu Pingan would want to lie down for a while before answering, but this is the palace examination, so lie down and rest Too much disrespect to the Holy Majesty, and being pointed out is disrespectful, so Zhu Ping'an can only hold on.
How to answer, what good strategies to propose, what suggestions to make, from which aspect, how to be the champion, the champion is not quite easy. Extremely exhausted and confused, Zhu Pingan shook his head vigorously, but his brain was still in a mess, and he didn't know where to start.
Ouyang Zishi sat first on the west side of the hall, full of energy and confidence, looking at Zhu Pingan who was sitting far away from him without energy, he could not help but smile with a certain victory.
