"Is it a bit early?" Ding Qi answered.
Zhou Deshen was only thirteen years old. At this age, he participated in imperial examinations a lot, and he was able to accumulate experience and meet the world. But the Zhou family's children, do they need this
Liu Liuzhe looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "If the young master wants to take the exam, I will let our bastard accompany him."
Shangguan Lie answered, "Then I will let my son accompany him."
Zhou Fang looked at these two people with a bad expression, and said, "I think we should wait a while, and I haven't taken the exam yet. Let's wait for two years. Let's go together."
Zhou Fang naturally didn't want their brothers together, but hesitated.
Their Zhou family is now attracting the wind. It seems that the scenery is boundless and the undercurrent is raging. I don't know how many people are waiting to see their jokes or to make mistakes.
If the three generations of the Zhou family began to enter the officialdom, I am afraid that it will cause another disturbance.
Zhou Zheng listened and said: "Shou'er joined the army with a firm attitude and will not change in a short time. Shen'er never joined the army. His temperament is too gentle. Wait two years, but some things need to be arranged. Our generation may be able to take care of it for more than ten or twenty years, but it will have to be arranged in the future. It cannot be built from one generation to another, and one generation is not as good as one generation.
Ding Qi said: "Should it be arranged now? Is it still too early?"
People like Zhou Zheng, even if Zhou Fang is a little older, are only around forty. It's not uncommon to see a court magnate who has lived for 70 or 80 years.
Liu Liuzhe said: "It must be arranged, and you have to take a good look. Who knows where people are and which ghosts are. Now people are needed everywhere, not only to train them, but to train them a little bit further. Generations, thirty years is a must."
Ding Qi nodded slightly thoughtfully.
Zhou Fang hesitated a little, glanced at Zhou Zheng and said nothing.
Inside the Zhou family, there are actually some issues that have not been explained, nor can they be explained.
The biggest question among them is, where is the Zhou clan going? That is, where is Zhou Zheng's future direction
Wang Mang, Cao Cao, or Zhou Gong
Even if it is the core of the Zhou family, Zhou Zheng's eldest brother Zhou Fang is not clear about this issue, because Zhou Zheng has never revealed it.
Their only consensus is: watching while walking.
Zhou Zheng saw Zhou Fang’s eyes and ignored him, saying: "The imperial court will set up two colleges, one is the political academy and the other is the military academy. Afterwards, the political academy and the military academy select 5,000 people from them every year. After graduation, they are directly awarded to Jinshi, and they are born with Jinshi."
Everyone looked slightly surprised, is this abolishing the imperial examination system
In this way, the vibration is too great.
Zhou Zheng looked at their expressions and said, "This year, year after year, at least three years, take your time."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Fang thought for a while and said, "The deans of these two houses are very important, and they may control the court in the future."
It would be terrible if the court were all disciples of someone!
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "There is no dean. The deputy dean will take charge of the affairs. The household department and the official department will also take charge of the affairs. They will be held every four years, and there will be a total of two."
At present, the court stipulates that the cabinet ministers and the six ministers can only be re-elected twice every four years. That is to say, at the decision-making level of the court, a maximum of 16 years.
Zhou Fang and others thought about it, and said: "This is also okay. The specific rules have to be finalized again and again to avoid loopholes. In the future, the parties will still fight against differences, and party disputes will be endless."
The'partisanship' is endless through dynasties, and it is extremely difficult to put an end to it.
Zhou Zheng looked at Liu Liuzhe and said, "Jinyiwei, the East Factory must also change."
Liu Liuzhe has followed Zhou Zheng for the longest time, and he is very clear about Zhou Zheng’s thoughts, saying: "Second young master, if these two institutions fall into the hands of officials, the things of Wei Zhongxian will happen again and may destroy all of our reforms. ."
Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup and said nothing.
The'system' seems to be born to be destroyed.
Ding Qi saw that the topic was a little dull, and said directly: "Leave it to the court to talk about it. Those who celebrate the New Year, don't talk about it, it's time to meet the elders and give the children a lesson."
The Zhou family and their in-laws are all there, plus some children’s coming-of-age ceremonies, there must be a list of words, there are really a lot of things.
Zhou Fang stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go."
A group of people stood up and walked towards the main hall.
Zhou Qingli, Ding Mian and others are almost ready, and the ceremony of New Year's greetings begins.
Zhou Fang, Zhou Zheng and others wished Zhou Qingli, Ding Mian and others the New Year, and then it was the children's turn.
Then the elders spoke, gave gifts, sent words and so on.
After this set came down, it was after the meal time, but the table was still full, eating steamingly, laughing and laughing.
A group of female relatives, including Zhou Ding's and Shangguanqing, were in another room, chattering as if they were talking or not playing. Shangguanqing also lost the coldness of his youth, and talked a lot around her husband and children.
The Zhou family thanked guests behind closed doors, but there were still many people coming, but they were all blocked.
After dinner, a large group of people sat together again, chatting, reminiscing about the past, and dreaming about the future.
It wasn't until the evening when the Zhou family and the third father and son sent away people. It was a little easier, sitting in front of the carbon stove, drinking tea, sober, and talking.
Zhou Qingli was full of alcohol. Obviously, he was very happy today.
Looking at the two sons, holding tea cups, they smiled and said: "This year is the most lively year."
Zhou Fang also let out a sigh of relief, saying: "It will get more and more lively. I heard that the Ding family has prosperous children, and a few more will be born next year."
Zhou Qingli laughed and said, "If you have more, it may not be better. Brother Ding complained to me just now that the house is restless."
Zhou Fang immediately shook his head. Although he didn't take a concubine, he also knew what happened between his wives and concubines. For myself, for the children, all kinds of struggles are really a big drama.
The Ding family and the Zhou family are related by marriage, and the light is not even a little bit. I don't know how many people are eager to marry the Ding family, and there are even a lot of concubines for Dingmian.
Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Qingli's gray hair on the temples, was silent for a while, and said, "Father, maybe we won't go back to Tianjin Wei, how nice the family is. The capital has gradually subsided, and there is not much trouble."
Zhou Qingli looked at this little son, smiled softly, and said, "Okay."
Zhou Fang opened his eyes and said, "Father, are you really not going back?"
Zhou Qingli nodded and said, "Don't go, it's windy over there."
Zhou Fang was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I will let people move back from Tianjin Wei."
Zhou Qingli glanced at Zhou Zheng, took a sip of tea, and said, "Are you determined to expedition to the north?"
Zhou Zheng sat up straight and said, "It's not finalized, it depends on how things evolve."
Zhou Qingli sighed lightly and said, "Jianlu entered the customs many times, so I can't help it. The chaos in the northwest of the thieves broke into the capital. Now, we are going to expedition north."
Zhou Qingli came from the Wanli period, and he knew how difficult it was to achieve this level.
Zhou Fang said: "Although I feel a little anxious, but if Jianlu is destroyed, it will be anxious."
Zhou Qingli was silent for a long time and said, "Is it a big deal?"
Although some words were unacceptable, the Ming Dynasty was really afraid of being beaten by Jianluo. He had the courage to say that he was not afraid. There were not many civil servants and generals who fought against Jianluo. It was mentioned that the battle with Jianluo was'Northern Expedition' , Too many people are worried and afraid to move forward.
Can you win? Can? Can? (End of this chapter)
