The use of the style of the Piao Piao to explain the meaning of the classics is called "Eight-Legends", also known as "Shi Wen", "Corresponsible Meaning" or "Corresponsible Art".

Later, it inherited the situation, the format became more and more strict, and the article became more and more empty. It was not until the reform of the 1899 Reform in the late Qing Dynasty, and the imperial examination system was abolished in the 31st year of Guangxu (1905).

People usually only know that the eight-legged essay is something from the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it has already had its prototype as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties. The "Postals" and "Mo Yi" used in the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty are actually the budding form of the eight-legged essay in the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called eight-part essay, each article consists of ten parts: breaking the topic, following the topic, starting the lecture, entering the topic, setting the question, starting the stock, starting the stock, middle stock, back stock, and falling into stock.

The imperial examination is only allowed to be set within the scope of the Four Books and Five Classics. The style of writing is strictly limited to eight-part essays, and the candidates cannot express their personal opinions.

The rulers of the feudal dynasty used the "eight-legged essays to confine intellectuals' ideas. They were afraid of rebellion and controlled the military with literature. They were different.

The top three are called No. 1, No. 1 and Tanhua respectively.

Intellectuals who passed the imperial examination can enjoy some privileges, exempting from service and taxes, and all Jinshi are officials. However, many of these people do not have real talents and knowledge.

There are certain assessment regulations for the eight-legged essay selection, which are relatively standardized, but the norms then become dead dogmas, imprisoning people's thoughts, stifling people's ability to innovate, and allowing people to be directly ruled under centralization.

This has made human creativity unable to be effectively utilized and delayed historical progress.

For the feudal dynasty, it was one of the induces to the country. For the entire human race, it hindered the development of society and economy and was a product of failure that was very harmful.

Especially in modern history, the educated people lack historical cultivation, their thoughts are numb, their thinking is rigid, and their self-confidence is conservative. In addition, their lack of historical perspective and strategy in understanding events has also laid the root of humiliation in modern China.

As a time traveler, Zhu Zilong naturally would not let such garbage things go and continue to harm people.

Now when you look at the queen's extremely terrifying expression, Zhu Zilong knew that it would be fine to click on it for the time being. Let's change the topic, turn around and hypnotize the queen. For example, the practicality of officials, after that, there is a matter of quantity, which can be indirectly decentralized.

So, the next second.

Zhu Zilong said again: "Empress, I think there are too few enslaves once every three years. There are not too many officials in the Ming Dynasty, but too few."

"As Gangweichen said, at the beginning of this dynasty, the Lijia system was used as the grassroots system, and later joined the Baojia system. Although the Lijia system was not abolished, it was already in name only. The grassroots officials had power in their hands, but they were not officials. Together with the clans and gentry of the people, they were the actual masters of the grassroots rights of the Ming Dynasty."

"However, the Ming Dynasty has raised scholars for more than 200 years and has given many preferential treatment to the gentry. But how do they repay me now?"

"The officials are undermining the officials. The so-called county magistrate is arrogant and can actually exert not many rights. It is not that he does not have this right. He only has one person and cannot control so many things. Because he must rely on the officials below and the gentry to assist him in managing the affairs of the entire county."

"Officials are not familiar with government affairs, and are underlined by the people below. Especially those newly appointed Jinshi, these problems are more likely to arise. Moreover, even if the county magistrate is willing to manage government affairs well, they are powerless. Why? Because, they only know how to write poetry and eight-legged essays!"

After a while, Zhu Zilong's words turned to officials and eight-legged essays, but compared to talking directly, he became much more concealed.

"These people have emptied their official positions, and even colluded with them. After this, as the monarch of a country, they will not be able to understand the real situation of the country through his ministers. No wonder Taizu wanted to set up the Jinyiwei, Chengzu wanted to set up the Dongchang. Military power must be concentrated!"

Zhu Zilong's words hid the knife, implying that civil servants are not actually a thing, and it is better to concentrate military power in the hands of the emperor, or to be reliable and obedient.

Using literature to control military affairs seems to be worry-free, but there are many hidden dangers.

I have to say that Zhu Zilong's intentions are also good, but he is also vicious.

At this time, the queen was also very worried about thunder, and she fell into thinking for a long time, and answered Zhu Zilong's words without remembering them.

Seeing this, Zhu Zilong knew that the queen needed time to digest these things, handed over the memorial to the dragon table, and then gently retreated.

Zhu Zilong finally hinted that it is not good to use culture to build martial arts, but it is actually for himself.

He himself is the biggest military general now. If he still promotes the use of literature to suppress military generals, how can he survive?

In Chinese history, it was the Song Dynasty that used culture to build military affairs.

Because the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms had continuous wars, and being an emperor was a high-risk profession. The military governors of the vassal states had heavy troops outside, and some generals led the imperial guards in the Central Commission for Discipline. For those who held military power, being addicted to the emperor was the trend.

Zhao Kuangyin was the chief inspector of the palace, who launched a mutiny as the military general and replaced the Later Zhou Dynasty. Of course, he became more and more important in the White Army power.

After becoming emperor, Zhao Kuangyin learned from historical experiences and lessons, tried every means to seize military power, and established a family law for the Song Dynasty to "focus on culture and neglect military power".

However, this will be beneficial to the emperor.

But for the entire Chinese nation, it is difficult to tell whether it is good or bad.

Before the Song Dynasty, no matter Han and Tang dynasties, under internal stability, the northern nomadic peoples were always driven to play.

Almost all of these ethnic minorities were beaten back by the Central Dynasty every time they nodded. Although the Han people were not as physical as nomadic people, the quality and combat ability of the leaders of the Central Dynasty's army were far higher than that of the other party.

When the Song Dynasty implemented the use of culture to control military affairs, and civil officials led troops to fight. From then on, the Chinese dynasty could no longer suppress the development of northern nations and was conquered twice.

In the late Ming Dynasty, it was ironclad that the Qing Dynasty made a big profit.

In the 21st century, the Chinese still feel or live in shame.

Otherwise, the big guys wouldn't shout every day, asking everyone to support the Chinese dream.

In general, the right way is to balance civil and military affairs.

The use of both civil and military affairs and mutual restraint is actually the way to ensure stability.

However, now is a special period, and Zhu Zilong has to use power to strengthen his army to take the lead. If the overall situation is stable in the future, he will also play a system that emphasizes both civil and military affairs.

…………

The next day, when the queen took Zhu Zilong's list of enquiries and the key points of selecting scholars were presented by the cabinet.

As a result, some opposition officials' urine spots were detonated on the spot.

When Zhu Zilong came, some officials were quarreling and even played the trick of collective confrontation.

"The eight-legged scholarship is a system established by Taizu. If you don't use articles to discuss talents, what should you use to discuss? The Duke of the State, he will choose the accountant, and the county exam, and the government exam is ridiculous."

Faced with the attacks of some old civil servants, Zhu Zilong was unmoved. He just sat there, had a cup of tea, and answered calmly, and made the official who had just attacked him so angry.

"The system set by Taizu? Haha, in Taizu's ancestral system, there are also corruption in 50 taels of silver, so you have to peel off your skin and behead them! May I ask, if this is really implemented 100%, do you think how many officials in the world can survive? I'm afraid tomorrow, there will be 90% of the officials in this cabinet alone, and they will disappear?" Zhu Zilong sneered.

"How many ancestral system was set during the Taizu period that had been modified by the previous emperors over 200 years? The previous regulations must not be modified? The rules set two hundred years ago were suitable and good at that time. But now, it may not be appropriate, and what should be changed must be changed. Even the previous emperors have made examples. Why can't we keep pace with the times when we have received the emperor's grace?"

Zhu Zilong pulled the emperor's tiger skin as a shield, and once he pulled it, he was all the emperors in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. As soon as this was said, the officials immediately left speechless. I wonder how to answer!

Seeing that some parents seemed to want to fight for it, Zhu Zilong's plan continued.

Without waiting for them to speak, they waved their hands and continued to come.

"Do you know what this edict says in the "Edict on Correcting Etiquette and Customs" in the "Edict on Emperor Ming Dynasty". What is the significance? Taizu's great achievements and achievements in his life are inseparable from the huge role played by these two edicts. As long as it hinders the economic development of the country and the development of people's livelihood, appropriate changes must be made. Taizu's wise wisdom has already made a predicament!"

Good guy, Zhu Zilong made up for this knife. First, all the emperors in the middle have distorted Zhu Yuanzhang's will, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has all been used.

Such a powerful combination of punches immediately made all the ministers in the cabinet confused.

In addition, half of the people here are Zhu Zilong's own people, so the scene was immediately controlled.

Once the cabinet is controlled, the officials in the morning court will naturally be much easier. It can be said that the overall situation can be determined!
