To be honest, Yan Shenggong's answer was somewhat beyond Emperor Chongzhen's expectations.

Originally, he just instructed Wang Chengen to ask him to see Yan Shenggong to clearly express his support for the promotion of science and technology. However, Yan Shenggong actually raised scientific and technological knowledge from Emperor Wu of Han's unique Confucianism to the same status as Confucianism for thousands of years, and even said that it was even better than that. He even strongly demanded that the existing imperial examinations be reformed and scientific and technological knowledge be added.

At some point, Emperor Chongzhen even had some doubts that this Yan Shenggong might have traveled from later generations, so he understood the importance of scientific and technological knowledge and made such a reasonable statement.

However, when he came to his senses, he immediately realized that this was actually a cunning guy. The reason was very simple. This old guy would definitely not want Yan Shenggong to replace him. Under this premise, he should have seen the influence of science and technology along the way.

Although there were so many scholars like scholars following him to Beijing along the way, from a certain perspective, if scientific and technological knowledge cannot cause any waves, can so many scholars follow him to Beijing after being full?

Moreover, in the court, the seven most important position of the Ministry of Personnel, Xu Guangqi, who is the most determined in the promotion of science and technology. If officials in the world want to have a smooth road, they must follow the idea of ​​the Heavenly Officials of the Ministry of Personnel. There is also the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the most authoritative in the Ming Dynasty in terms of etiquette, who was Xu Guangqi's student, and Sun Yuanhua, who is also a very famous and firmly supported science and technology. The prince's master is the same.

The prince is the successor of the emperor and the next round of the Ming Dynasty. The prince's master was chosen as the officials who supported scientific and technological knowledge. This also means that the next Ming Dynasty emperor has a great possibility and is also a supporter of scientific and technological knowledge.

In this morning court, no one came out to persuade the emperor about the sudden excuse of the emperor's court. Although it was the emperor's excuse that he had found good excuses, it proved that none of the senior officials in the court were loyal to the Kong family.

In this way, Yan Shenggong immediately emphasized that Confucianism and science and technology knowledge can maintain the status that Confucianism should have, and there will be no situation where scientific and technological knowledge is solemn and Confucianism will be presented as in the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. In this way, Yan Shenggong made contributions to Confucianism and Taoism, and the Confucius family.

Emperor Chongzhen thought so much, but for the prime minister Wen Tiren, he simply commented in three words: "Know the current affairs!"

However, many people were a little confused when they heard the words of Yan Shenggong. They were completely unthinkable, especially those officials who had been beaten. For them, shouldn’t Yan Shenggong maintain the Confucian Taoist tradition? How could he say such shameless words? How could he meet Confucius when he returns to heaven? Fortunately, he prepared a memorial and was waiting to maintain the Confucian Taoist tradition together! Did his court stick be in vain?

Emperor Chongzhen on the imperial throne, but ignored the others, looked at Yan Shenggong and smiled and said, "When I was in a restaurant last year, I remembered that the learning of Confucius and Mencius lies in thought; scientific and technological knowledge lies in skills. The two do not conflict, but complement each other. Now Kong Qing's words are in line with me. I feel very relieved. In this way, I am sure what you say! "

After saying that, he reached out and signaled: "Kong Qing flat!"

When Yan Shenggong heard this, he quickly thanked him and stood up. At this time, for some reason, he felt at ease. The emperor said in front of the civil and military officials of the court that Confucius and Mencius's learning lies in thought, while scientific and technological knowledge lies in skills, and the two did not conflict. This means that the status of the Confucius Mansion is worry-free!

For those officials below, for those military officers, the content of the imperial examination and whether or not science and technology is added, there is no dime for them, so it is not very touched, just to watch the fun. At most, some far-sighted people can consider the importance of science and technology and be happy about the changes they may bring.

But for civil officials, they were surprised when they heard the remarks from Yan Shenggong and Emperor Chongzhen. Even some people who already had a premonition were surprised when this matter was concluded in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

This thing has never happened in previous dynasties. The content of the imperial examinations and scientific and technological knowledge will bring the most direct and profound changes to the Ming Dynasty and future scholars! The imperial examination system began with a new major change from the Sui and Tang Dynasties!

The emergence of the imperial examination system allowed scholars to "submit their certificates and advance by themselves". There was no need to be specially recommended by officials, ministers or prefectures and county chiefs. It broke the monopoly of aristocratic families over the officialdom and gave poor students a path to the officialdom, making it possible to "be a farmer in the morning and climb the emperor's hall in the evening."

Of course, this so-called poor student is not a real poor family or a poor person. At that time, studying requires a lot of money. These poor students are only middle- and lower-level than those of aristocratic families, but they can afford to read.

During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, another major change occurred in the imperial examination system, which was the emergence of eight-legged essays. The suggestion of several ministers was made, and the eight-legged essays with strict requirements on the format were finally formed based on the previous generations.

The purpose of this eight-legged essay is to facilitate the review of the papers and to minimize the artificial judgment of the pros and cons of the articles during the exam at that time. This situation requires even in later generations. For example, later papers and some official documents have specific requirements, but they are not as strict as eight-legged essays.

The emergence of the eight-legged essay also profoundly changed the imperial examination related to scholars in the Ming Dynasty.

Now, in response to the proposal of Yan Shenggong, Emperor Chongzhen has made the conclusion that the imperial examination should be added to the scientific and technological knowledge examination. In this way, the imperial examination system has reached another major change, and there is no doubt about this.

When the civil servants were thinking about this great change, Emperor Chongzhen was already speaking again. He heard him say to the ministers below seriously: "Although the imperial examination has been decided to add scientific and technological knowledge, considering the current situation, I decided that starting this year, it will be only a county examination and a government examination to increase the content of scientific and technological knowledge. The scientific and technological examinations at other levels will remain unchanged for the time being. Wait for the children's examination after next year, the examination for scientific and technological knowledge will be added, and so on!"

The imperial examinations that begin the provincial examination are only held every three years. This means that those scholar-level students still have a lot of buffering time for the exams and subsequent exams. The reason why Emperor Chongzhen did this was not because he was afraid that scholars would rebel. Isn’t there a saying that scholars would not rebel for three years?

He considered that the promotion of scientific and technological knowledge was not mandatory before, except for studying in children's schools. In this context, it was a bit unreasonable to directly add scientific and technological knowledge to the examination content. Therefore, only students in children's schools were forced to test scientific and technological knowledge in county and government examinations.

After this court discussion, everything was decided. In this way, in official institutions such as county schools, Imperial College, etc., we must officially start learning scientific and technological knowledge. Taking the exam three years later can also be regarded as giving learning opportunities.

These ministers basically understood this principle. Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he realized that the emperor was not radical, so he bowed and responded under the leadership of the chief minister Wen Tiren.

With the platform of Yan Shenggong, he gave scholars all over the world a chance to buffer. I believe that the official officialization of scientific and technological knowledge will no longer have any major obstacles. Emperor Chongzhen was thinking this in his heart and was in a good mood. He smiled at Yan Shenggong and said, "Kong Qing's move to distinguish right from wrong today will definitely be praised by future generations. If you don't believe it, wait and see!"

"What Your Majesty said is a traitor." When Yan Shenggong heard this, he quickly replied respectfully: "I am just talking about it from the truth, just telling the truth!"

Listening to the conversation between the king and his ministers in front of him, the civil servants with a little sympathy were all cursing in their hearts. If they had known this ending, it would be better to wait until Yan Shenggong finished speaking before he could do anything. In that case, he would not have rushed out again when he heard Yan Shenggong's words. It was all Kong Debin and Ma Deli who made trouble. This account must be remembered on both of them!

Today, it’s so embarrassing!

At this time, Kong Debin and Ma Deli also complained in their hearts, and they were also beaten by the butt. Because of the rebellion of Yan Shenggong and the court scepter of a large number of people, the original thought that the debate between good and evil would inevitably become a one-sided situation. In other words, those who want to oppose the promotion of science and technology knowledge cannot even have a wave.

Look at those colleagues who were also beaten by the butt, and look at their resentful eyes staring at them. Whether it was Kong Debin or Ma Deli, they all knew that they had offended their colleagues to death, and there were still nearly two hundred. It was over, it was over, how would they live in the future?

In the harem, Empress Zhou had already started to worry when she got up in the morning and sent Emperor Chongzhen to court. Even if Emperor Chongzhen comforted her again before leaving, she could not relieve her. The position of the prince was finally settled, but now there was a major event that affected the prince. She wanted to know what would happen to the morning court?

Queen Zhou was still a very law-abiding person. Although she was very concerned, she did not send anyone to ask for information. She just waited uneasyly. She kept waiting outside the palace. She suddenly screamed from behind.

"Empress, this is Your Majesty's scepter. I guess there are many officials who have been punished." The experienced eunuch just reported that as soon as he heard this.

When Queen Zhou heard this, she felt even more nervous. Judging from the emperor's words, she was so confident, but in a blink of an eye, she started to slap officials in the court. Looking at it like this, isn't the matter a lot?

Seeing that she was so worried, a close female official came forward and said, "Empress, why don't I go to the front to inquire about the situation?"

"No!" Empress Zhou shook her head and said, "You are not allowed to go and inquire without your Majesty's order!"

So, I kept suffering and waiting.

Finally, as the sound of "The Emperor's Arrival" sounded, Empress Zhou hurriedly greeted her.

"Your Majesty, what's the situation? Did Duke Yan Sheng object? Your Majesty won't attract Duke Yan Sheng as well, right? Didn't he beat Duke Yan Sheng's court stick?"

Listening to the series of questions from Empress Zhou, Emperor Chongzhen passed away in his mind. What would happen if he really issued an order to attack Yan Shenggong's court stick? I'm afraid a bunch of people would advise him? I guess those scholars waiting outside the Meridian Gate would be violent!

Thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and smiled and said, "What the queen is worried about, I have said it's okay. Yan Shenggong came to the capital to see me, just to suggest that I reform the imperial examination and add scientific and technological knowledge to the content of the scientific examination in the future!"

"What?" Empress Zhou was shocked and quickly confirmed, "Your Majesty said it was the suggestion made by Yan Sheng Gong, and it was necessary to innovate the imperial examination..."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the surprised Empress Zhou with a smile and said with a smile: "Who says it is not? Tell the Queen the truth. My scientific and technological knowledge is unique and better than many ancient academic schools. From now on, I will not only be the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but also a master!"

At this moment, I heard the "knock" sound in my mind, and the sound of the system sounded: "The school of science and technology created by the host has become the content of the imperial examination and is of great importance to the powerful existence of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, all outsiders sincerely respect the host's knowledge, and no matter how far or near, they can achieve the achievement value!"

After the system prompted the sound, the achievement value in the lower left corner of the chat group was rising wildly.

This situation shocked Emperor Chongzhen. He didn't expect that the system would have such operations. It seems that he was not raised by his stepmother!

However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not surprising. As the system says, after scientific and technological knowledge becomes part of the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination, it will inevitably popularize the scientific and technological knowledge of the Ming Dynasty as quickly as possible. In this way, the development of the Ming Dynasty in science and technology, with the technology of the Ming population and its own leader, should still use the knowledge of later generations as an emperor to guide and promote it. Not to mention that it surpasses the achievements of the Western Renaissance, this can completely advance the scientific civilization of mankind hundreds of years.

With this as the basis, the Ming Dynasty became the Empire of the Sun and the Conquest of the Sea of ​​Stars and Seas, and it was not an illusory dream! This chat group system was invented by the Emperor and Han, and there will definitely be rewards for such a major achievement!

The achievement value finally reached about 25 million, but the increase was slower. Emperor Chongzhen knew that the contribution of those who had influenced the promotion of scientific and technological knowledge in the early stage was almost the same. In this way, he didn't have to make a achievement value specifically, which was enough to buy out the 20 million achievement value for taking photos.

In other words, you can establish a national population data system next!
