Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The military plane meeting has dissipated, and Zhao Chen is walking forward.

At this moment, Li Gang chased up from behind.

"Your Majesty!" Li Gang shouted loudly.

"What else is the teacher?" Zhao Chen paused, and when Li Gang came to his side, he said.

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination matters are of great importance, and you must not act in a hurry! For hundreds of years, the imperial examinations have been dominated by Confucianism. If your majesty changes hastily and makes the country turbulent, what should you do?" Li Gang said.

"According to the teacher's opinion, how should it be implemented?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty can first conduct imperial examinations across the country, and still only test Confucianism! Schools all over the country should also only study Confucianism! But your Majesty can set aside a county to learn practical studies." Li Gangdao.

Zhao Chen thought for a long time and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, what the veteran said is the safest way! The veteran has also thought about it carefully just now. What you said at the military aircraft conference may have some truth, but no one knows whether it is really useful, so you need to try it first. OK!" Li Gang said.

"I had this idea before, but now I feel that it is not feasible! Education and imperial examination are different from other things, and it takes too long to be implemented! Trying and experimenting locally, it is impossible to show results without ten years of work. Come! So, I won't agree!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, you are only eighteen years old, just ten years old, can't you wait?" Li Gang asked.

"I have other considerations." Zhao Chen smiled and said lightly.

"Your Majesty, are you not afraid of opposition from Confucian scholars in the world when you implement such an imperial examination?" Li Gang asked again.

"It is because of fear of opposition from Confucian scholars that the imperial examinations must be changed sooner!" Zhao Chen said.

This is what he called "other considerations".

Now the world is experiencing wars. In Central Plains and Yanyun, countless Confucian scholars were killed by Jurchens, and a group of Confucian scholars were recruited by Jurchens. They are traitors and cannot be used! The same is true for all parts of Xixia, the North, and Liaodong! However, in Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan under Zhao Chen's governance, no imperial examinations were opened for eight years. Some young people either joined the army or the production and construction corps, and the number of pure Confucian scholars was very small! Only with a large number of Confucian scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, there may be some chaos, while Zhao Chen intends to temporarily compromise in the south of the Yangtze River! The rest of the country except Jiangnan has implemented a new education system and a new imperial examination system. After a long period of time and the advantages are shown, Jiangnan will naturally change.

If the new education and imperial examination system are not implemented now, the world is peaceful, and there are more and more scholars, all of whom are Confucian scholars who have grown up reading Confucian classics, the resistance Zhao Chen will face in ten years will be countless times greater than it is now!

"Your Majesty, if you do this, the world will be messed up sooner or later!" Li Gang said.

"I will proceed with this matter safely! I still have no decision today, but let you all go back and think about it. I will carry out this matter only after the central government agrees with each other!" Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen didn't care about what Li Gang called "the world chaos"!

The possibility of Confucian school rebellion is too low and too low! There was a poem in ancient times called "The pit is not cold and Shandong is chaotic. Liu Xiang didn't read books." After Qin Shihuang ruled the world, Confucian scholars pointed and pointed. Qin Shihuang thought that Confucian scholars might be the source of cholera in the world. The "pit ashes" of the book hasn't cooled down, and the world has begun to mess up. None of the rebellious Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are scholars! From ancient times to the present, there have been no scholars who have rebelled. They are either poor people like Liu Bang, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Li Zicheng, or court ministers and nobles like Cao Cao, Yang Jian, and Zhao Kuangyin!

"Your Majesty, think twice!" Li Gang said painfully.

"I will think hard too!" Zhao Chen nodded and said.

Zhao Chen led a few guards towards the back, still thinking about this along the way.

As for whether Confucianism is good or bad, history has long proved it!

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, China was far behind the world, and the Qing government officially abolished the imperial examination system based on Confucianism! The Qing government even invited Confucius out of schools across the country.

During the period of the Republic of China, the New Culture Movement prevailed, and Confucianism was overthrown.

In the later modern society, whether it is China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, etc., Confucianism will no longer be the mainstream of society, and students from all countries will not only study Confucianism!

The painful lessons of later generations told Zhao Chen that if Confucianism is still the mainstay, I am afraid that the Chinese nation will still encounter hardships in the future, and even become a semi-colonial colony of European and American whites, and fall to the point where they are bullied by the Japanese invaders who have reformed to become stronger! Confucianism will only make this country more and more conservative, making this country more and more backward, so education and imperial examination reforms are imperative!

Education is the foundation of a country! The reason why the later generations of Germany is strong is precisely because of modern education! And Zhao Chen will also implement China's educational reform step by step.

It is already the spring season, and the northern part of the palace is very quiet!

Until now, there are not many people here! Compared with the scale of tens of thousands of people in the imperial palace in the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is simply unimaginable!

Walking to a secluded courtyard, only two court ladies stood at the door, Zhao Chen nodded towards them, and then entered the courtyard.

There are peach blossoms everywhere in this courtyard, and there is a burst of floral fragrance, and Qin Yuzhen and Song Qingyao are practicing swords here.

Qin Yuzhen's martial arts is better than Song Qingyao, but they are not martial arts. The two are graceful like butterflies. After a while, they stopped.

"Husband!" Seeing Zhao Chen, Song Qingyao was delighted and walked over first.

Zhao Chen smiled, he took Song Qingyao to sit on the stone chair in the courtyard, and Qin Yuzhen also stopped at this moment and walked towards here.

"Your Majesty is a little unhappy today?" Qin Yuzhen said.

"I'm not unhappy, just discussing the education imperial examination. The Minister of Korea and China disagrees with me. I am still thinking about ways to persuade them." Zhao Chen said.

"In fact, what your majesty did was reform." Qin Yuzhen said.

"Yes, it's a reform!" Zhao Chen said.

"Wang Anshi's reform decades ago was not successful. On the contrary, it made my Song even worse than before. Your Majesty should not be like Wang Anshi." Qin Yuzhen looked at Zhao Chen with bright eyes.

"Naturally, I am different from Wang Anshi! I have the prestige and power that Wang Anshi does not have! Wang Anshi's reforms have caused great resistance, and the literati and officials of the world opposed him, and my prestige is not under Taizu and Taizong. No one can oppose me! If I were I If you don't change the law, no one will be able to change the law anymore!" Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen's prestige was even higher than Song Taizu and Song Taizong in expelling the Tartars and restoring China. It is with this kind of prestige that he can subdue some opposing voices and make the land of China completely change! If he does not change now, and future generations do not have his prestige, it will be more difficult to change.

"Sister Qin sit down first! Husband, you have been busy with the court for such a long time. It is too boring to talk about government affairs when you come back." Song Qingyao smiled.

"Then what do you want to say?" Zhao Chen stopped and smiled.

"Why don't you tell me what happened in Huining Mansion? Why do I mention that every time I mention it, Junior Sister Qin and Junior Sister Xue turned red. Why didn't they tell me, but let her husband tell me." Song Qingyao Tao.

As soon as Song Qingyao finished speaking, Qin Yuzhen's face turned red as expected, and she walked outside without looking back.

"Actually, there is nothing..." Zhao Chen thought for a while, and still said what happened that day.

"Husband, you have seen their bodies and you have to be responsible for them." Song Qingyao said.

The principles and rules of this era are completely different from those of later generations, like what Zhao Chen did on that day. They should have belonged to Zhao Chen a long time ago.

"Ayao, I'm sorry...it should have been enough to have you, but Yueru entered the palace early and was very pitiful. Later Miss Qin and Miss Xue shouldn't be even more so." Zhao Chen hugged Song Qing. Yao, said softly.

"My husband is the emperor of Song Dynasty. Since ancient times, the emperors have been 72 concubines in the Sangong and the Sixth Court, but there are only four women in the husband. The husband has enriched the harem, but the husband has never agreed. A Yao is very grateful." Song Qingyao said with a grievance in her voice.

"I promise, there will never be such a thing again! Except for the two of them, I will never bring other women back." Zhao Chen said.

"It seems that the husband hasn't really got Sister Qin and Sister Xue yet?" Song Qingyao smiled in Zhao Chen's arms.

Zhao Chen nodded in embarrassment.

"I'll help my husband in this matter, but you have to speak up, and there can be no other women." Song Qingyao said.

"This is natural! I am already satisfied with you, so how can I get better with other women?" Zhao Chen said.

The two of them chatted under the peach tree before leaving here for a long time.

On April 20th, Zhao Chen convened a military plane meeting again, but this time the discussion was still inconclusive. Li Gang, Li Ruoshui and other veterans still opposed the reform of the imperial examination.

In the next few days, Zhao Chen went to the residences of various ministers to discuss with many ministers, but he still couldn't persuade Li Gang and others.

On April 28, the Military Aircraft Department discussed the education civil service examination for the third time, but there was still no result.

On May 2nd, Li Gang wrote a letter against the reform of the imperial education examination!

On May 5th, Li Ruoshui also wrote a letter against the reform of the imperial examination!

On May 10, Li Gang and Li Ruoshui joined more than ten ministers of the DPRK and China to oppose the reform of the imperial examination. Li Gang claimed that if Zhao Chen insisted on the reform of the imperial examination, he would rather resign.
