Chapter 377 Why can’t I become “Zhen Xiang”?
Although there are separate exams for mathematics, physics and chemistry, it will still reduce the number of places in the regular imperial examinations.
At least the vacancies in the Ministry of Industry will definitely be mostly filled by people who have passed the imperial examinations in mathematics, physics and chemistry.
But with Lord Liu's previous proposal, Yun Shu's compromise plan seemed much more acceptable in comparison.
A group of people discussed the matter carefully in the imperial study for more than an hour. In the end, Emperor Xuanwu waved his hand and asked everyone to go back and organize their thoughts and write a memorial to discuss it again in the morning court tomorrow.
Finally, this group of ministers came out of the imperial study again.
Although the addition of mathematics, physics and chemistry to the imperial examinations is now almost a foregone conclusion,
But when I think about how everyone had the same opinion before entering the palace,
But after entering the imperial study, Lord Liu suddenly changed sides, catching them off guard.
The ministers who felt betrayed could hardly give Lord Liu a good face.
"Master Liu is really amazing! He even pretended that he had never seen "The Great Power" before.
Now it seems that Master Liu has known about Her Highness's plan for a long time?"
"Lord Liu was really good at pretending before. We really admire him!"
"Humph!"
Seeing ministers one after another walking away with sarcastic expressions or snorting coldly,
Lord Du, who had recently been riding in the same carriage with Lord Liu, couldn't help but ask a few more questions:
"Didn't Lord Liu firmly oppose the inclusion of mathematics, physics and chemistry in the imperial examinations?
We were in the Imperial Study just now, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"After we entered the room, wasn't it obvious what Her Royal Highness said?"
Lord Liu said as a matter of course:
“Since I know this move is inevitable, why do I still insist on being so stubborn and making myself one of the ministers in The Great Power who are cursed by future generations for ruining the country?
After all, I have never openly said anything against it before, so why can't I become 'Zhen Xiang'?"
Lord Du: “???”
What a cunning old thief Liu is!
Damn it, he was the first one to realize it, why didn’t he think of this trick when he was in the imperial study just now?
This guy surnamed Liu got there first...
Could it be possible that in later history, the old thief Liu will really leave behind a good name like "Zhen Xiang"?
If that were the case, he would probably be so angry that he would crawl out of the ground even after he was buried!
In order to compete with Lord Liu for the opportunity to leave a good name in the history books, Lord Du locked himself in his study after returning home, and started writing about the new Imperial Examination Hall and the establishment of mathematics, physics and chemistry examinations in the spring of next year, and went into detail about every detail that might occur in the whole process.
All are listed in an orderly manner and are accompanied by detailed solutions.
It was only at the next morning court session that Li Dehai had just finished shouting "If you have a petition, submit it. If you don't, leave the court."
He immediately rushed ahead of everyone else and stood up first:
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Accurate."
"Your Majesty, I thought..."
I roughly stated what I had painstakingly sorted out yesterday.
Lord Du concluded with a firm tone:
"Therefore, I think that setting up another imperial examination in mathematics, physics and chemistry cannot be delayed!"
wow——
Those officials who had not entered the palace yesterday and were not well-informed about the news were all dumbfounded.
New Year's Eve is almost here, and Lord Du is making such a big fuss at this time. Isn't he crazy?
They subconsciously wanted to step out and refute,
However, before they took any steps forward, they keenly noticed another incredible thing -
Those big guys in the front row...why are they not making any movement?
Could it be...
"I second the proposal!"
While those with lower ranks in the back row were still wondering whether these big guys were planning to make a big move,
In the front row, Lord Liu, who was one step ahead of Lord Du, also stood up quickly:
"I heard that many of Tiansheng's math and physics books were imported from overseas. If those overseas countries were to acquire more advanced weapons, it would pose a threat to our dynasty!"
"I second the proposal!"
……
The big guys in the front row all stood up one after another to second the motion, so naturally the small shrimps in the back row could no longer make any waves.
The imperial examinations in mathematics, physics and chemistry were easily decided.
After Emperor Xuanwu assigned the officials who would be in charge of the imperial examinations in mathematics, physics and chemistry after New Year's Eve, he thought that today's morning court would be over.
His buttocks were already showing signs of leaving the dragon throne.
Yun Shu, who was standing in the first row, suddenly stepped out slowly:
"Your Majesty, I have something else to report."
"you?"
Emperor Xuanwu was stunned, then sat back down calmly.
This brat hangs around in front of him every day, and he actually has something to report that he doesn't know about?
Emperor Xuanwu was somewhat curious:
"What's the matter?"
“Replying to Your Majesty, I believe that if Tiansheng wants to develop and prosper, in addition to paying attention to subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, it must also pay more attention to talents themselves.
Only with a healthy body can we create more value.”
Yun Shu took out a pediatrics book from his pocket in a serious tone:
"This is a medical book that I found not long ago. It clearly states that sleep is extremely important to human health.
Sleeping at midnight can activate the gallbladder meridian, help regulate the gallbladder, and promote a rosy complexion.
Sleeping deeply at Chou time, the liver meridian is strong, and deep sleep nourishes and protects the liver;
Sleeping at Yin time can strengthen the lung meridian, help the lungs to transfuse blood, and make you more energetic after getting up in the morning.
If you sleep at the hour of Mao, the large intestine meridian will be strong, which can help the body excrete unnecessary waste.
Therefore, the healthiest work and rest time for the human body should be from midnight to dawn.
But nowadays, most people just sleep until the hour of Yin. Such a schedule not only makes it impossible for the lungs and intestines to be nourished, but also the day when they go out is exactly the coldest time of the year, which is extremely bad for the body.
Therefore, I think that the morning court session can be postponed to the morning hour."
Emperor Xuanwu: “…”
Ministers: "..."
Wow, this is another major event!
Although if you look at it in detail, it doesn't seem to be that big... But even if you count thousands of years ago, the early dynasty would have started at the exact time of Mao.
Your Highness wanted to delay it by one or two hours with this move...
Isn’t this a bit too outrageous?
The junior officials in the back row secretly poked their heads out, thinking that this was also something that the big guys had discussed in advance.
However, this time, they were obviously wrong again.
Because the big guys also acted very confused, even Emperor Xuanwu on the dragon throne remained silent after listening to Yun Shu's memorial.
