Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Yue Fei left more than a dozen scouts to hide in Weng Niute's army, and the army escorted the captive cattle, sheep and horses back to the station.

At this time, Darth Khan was on the way to escape, and their destination was the most powerful Horqin tribe in Mongolian Yuan at this time.

Speaking of the Horqin Department, they are also heavily indebted to Da Ming, and they are another chief culprit in the massacre of Da Ming's soldiers and civilians.

In the fourth year of tomorrow, the leader of the Horqin tribe formally formed an alliance with Nurhaci and Xingbaima Wuniu. This is also the first time that the Mongolian Khan has lost the support of the descendants of Hasaer.

Then the fixed pastures were divided according to the League flag system, and the ten banners of the Zhelimu League were set up.

There are 6 banners in Horqin, 2 banners in Guoerluosi, 1 banner in Zalaite, and 1 banner in Duerbert.

In the war of entering the customs and conquering the tribes in the Eastern Captivity, the Horqin tribe fought hard and charged forward, and made great contributions to the establishment and consolidation of the Eastern Captivity Dynasty.

Therefore, it ranks first among the 24 ministries. Its title is high, its salary is higher than that of other Mongolian ministries, and it is an important force for the rule of the Eastern captives. It also has the closest relationship with the Manchu nobles.

In 1614 A.D., Huang Taiji married Zhezhe, a woman from Manggus of the Horqin tribe, who was later honored as Empress Xiaoduan.

In 1623 A.D., Horqin Taiji Hongguoer sent his daughter to Azig, and Horqin Taiji Erzhai sent his daughter Dorgon.

In 1625 AD, Horqin Taiji Zaisang married his daughter Bumbutai to Huang Taiji's wife, and was later honored as Empress Xiaozhuang.

Nine years later, Bumbutai's 9-year-old sister (Hai Lanzhu) also married Huang Taiji. It can be said that the three aunts and nieces married the same husband.

Chapter 177 North Korea Province

Jingshi

In the early court, the ministers all found that the emperor looked good today, with a smile on his face all the time.

The three-way army has won consecutive battles, and domestic reforms are also proceeding smoothly. Zhu Youjian is of course very happy that the opposing feudal lords have been greatly exploited by him.

Today he received another piece of news that made him even happier. Not only were the captives in North Korea wiped out, the Joseon Dynasty also decided to revoke the country name and make North Korea a province of Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Zhu Youjian sat on the dragon chair, the eunuch who was close to him immediately shouted: "Start... ..

"If you have a book, you will play early, but if you don't have a book, you will retreat."

As soon as the eunuch's voice fell, Fan Jingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, held an ivory board in his hand and came out of the playbook:

"Your Majesty, I have the original play."

Zhu Youjian nodded:

"Precise play."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty's scientific examination should have been held this year, but because of the rogues, the test has been delayed until now, and it still hasn't been carried out. After the anti-corruption campaign, a group of officials were beheaded. When employing people, I request His Majesty to issue an order to restart the examination."

Imperial Examination System in Ming Dynasty

The institutional content is expressed through the organizational form of the imperial examination. The most prominent representation of this expression is the three-level examination in the Ming Dynasty.

That is, the detailed measures of the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination, and the standardized requirements for the stereotyped selection of scholars. Except for a few cases, the rural examination time is basically every three years.

From the beginning of the rural examination, the quotas for each region were clearly defined, thus to a certain extent, avoiding the occurrence of regional disputes in the rural examination caused by the uncertainty of quota distribution.

After the end of the township examination, it entered the second level of the imperial examination, that is, the general examination stage. The place was set in the capital, and because it was held in spring, it was also called "Chunwei".

The Palace Examination is the last level of the three-level imperial examination, also known as the court examination, which is an examination method in which the emperor personally asks candidates on the court and determines the top three rankings of the first-class Jinshi.

The content of the exam is much simpler than the previous two exams, with only one test strategy. Jinshi admitted in the palace examination has a distinguished status, which is a prominent feature of the palace examination in the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng, a famous official of the Ming Dynasty, "made Chinese and foreign civil servants enter through the imperial examination, and those who did not take the imperial examination were not allowed to be officials."

The government of the Ming Dynasty adopted the eight-legged essay as the standard style for the imperial examination. From the perspective of subjective motivation, it also had the understanding of unifying the standard from the perspective of examination science.

Today people call it a standardized test, and there is a reason for it. It is conducive to the marking and evaluation of large-scale public examinations, and it also has the purpose of examining the writing ability and language level of candidates.

As a large-scale national unified examination, the imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty created an excellent example.

That is, under the systematic project of school training, graded selection, imperial examination selection, and political election of officials, a government's initiative is transformed into a public participation and interaction between the government and society.

Zhu Youjian didn't know much about the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty. Since the Minister of Rites proposed to restart the scientific examinations, he decided to reform the content of this year's scientific examinations.

"I'm ready to play."

"However, this year's system and the content of the scientific examination, I decided to change it so that all the candidates who passed the first stage of the examination will gather in the capital within 15 days, and I will come up with the questions myself."

Fan Jingwen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, bowed to salute:

"I obey the order, I don't know when the Holy Majesty will come up with the question?"

Zhu Youjian thought for a while and said:

"This year, candidates only need to write one article. As for the exam questions, you can go to Zhen Yu's study to get them after you leave the court."

"Your Majesty... I obey the order."

Fan Jingwen was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand the meaning of the emperor, normally and reliably divided into three steps, that is, the provincial examination, the general examination and the palace examination.

But the emperor's intention seems to be in place in one step.

Seeing that Fan Jingwen didn't figure it out, Zhu Youjian didn't explain it to him in the court hall, and planned to discuss it with him after the tide ebbed.

Afterwards, the ministers of several departments, including the Ministry of Finance of the Cabinet, wrote their books one after another, reporting some matters under their jurisdiction to the emperor.

Generally speaking, all tasks in the Ming Dynasty are being carried out step by step, and the living standards of the people are gradually improving, but at present the northern region still focuses on government relief.

The former wasteland has been cultivated, and the crops planted in the fields are not mature yet. It is estimated that the relief from the court will stop in two months.

After everyone had finished playing the book, Zhu Youjian asked the eunuch to read out a memorial, which was a happy report sent by Sun Chuanting.

The eunuch in attendance opened the playbook and began to read:

"Korea's Kai Report, Sun Chuanting, the Left Army of the Ming Dynasty, presented His Majesty, thanks to Emperor Hongfu, the entire territory of Korea has been liberated, and all the captives in the East have been wiped out.

The Pseudo-Lee Dynasty voluntarily abdicated, and announced the abolition of the title of North Korea. North Korea voluntarily became a province of Ming Dynasty, please name it.

In addition, Lu Aiguo, the son of Lu Xiangsheng, the former minister of the Ministry of War and the hero of the Ming Dynasty, led the rebel army and the left army to defend against the enemy together, and countless soldiers died in battle.

They have made great sacrifices and contributions for me to restore Korea to the Ming Dynasty, and I ask the emperor to give you a reward..."

After the eunuch's eunuch finished reading, the court was filled with excitement.

"It's terrible, this is a great thing, not only to restore North Korea, but also to have an extra piece of territory in Ming Dynasty, Sun Dudu worked hard..."

"What? North Korea abolished the country name and returned it to Da Ming. This is a great thing. The current Da Ming is really turned upside down, unprecedentedly powerful..."

"That's right, some time ago, the rogues besieged the capital, and the Ming Dynasty was in dire straits. Now, today, all the rogues have been wiped out, and the mighty Eastern robbers have also been beaten into shrunken turtles. The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is about to begin, and the Holy One is wise..."
