Chapter 220 From now on, the four seas will always be my home, and the Yangtze River will no longer
What is the truth behind the “North-South List” case?
Some believe that it was a clique formed for personal gain and an attempt to test Zhu and that he deserved the consequences, while others believe that it was a false imprisonment created by Zhu.
We have analyzed the former, as for the latter... those who say it is a wrongful case believe that in order to make the Ming Dynasty last forever, Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the meritorious officials and veterans who helped him to establish the Ming Dynasty. And this case is Zhu Yuanzhang's persecution of scholars and a wrongful imprisonment.
But what is the truth? Different people have different opinions. Let's discuss it in the comments section~
Finally, let’s end this section with a poem written by Gao Qi, a poet in the early Ming Dynasty, about the unification of the North and the South and peace in the world.
"I was lucky to be born when a saint revived the southern kingdom, and the turmoil was finally quelled and things came to an end.
From now on, the whole world is my home forever, and the Yangtze River no longer limits the north and the south. ”】
＜No matter what, it’s all my own fault＞
＜People who want to form a clique until death do not deserve sympathy＞
＜《Huang Ming Zu Xun》, isn't that thing used as toilet paper [eat melon]＞
＜Would that be too hurtful to him?＞
[Li Qingzhao, the second year of Chunxi in the Song Dynasty: This poem is barely acceptable [thumbs-up]]
[Qin Shi Huangdi Ying Zheng: His legacy will last forever... the wish of every founding emperor]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Fortunately, I didn’t force it]
[Tang Gaozu Li Yuan: ...hum hum...]
[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: Good! This poem is very well written! Alas, hundreds of years have passed, and finally the country is unified]
[Yue Fei, Year 2 of Chunxi Period of Song Dynasty: The north and south are unified, and the world is at peace. It has spanned hundreds of years. In this life, I must conquer Yanyun and drive the thieves out of the Han land!]
[Yu Qian, the sixth year of Ming Jingtai: General Yue's ability is obvious to all, and he will definitely achieve it!]
[Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang: All of you, come out and speak to me! Not only do you not obey, you actually dare to use it as toilet paper!]

Ming Dynasty Hongwu 29th year
"Zhu Di!!!"
"You are such a heartless person, none of your descendants listen to me?!"
"You must have made a good start!"
"All I think about day and night is how to make my Ming Dynasty peaceful and stable, and you, on the other hand, are trying to sabotage your father!"
He was not very angry about the civil service group mentioned earlier, because this was not the first time he knew what the future civil service group would do.
Moreover, he was confident that he could prevent the civil service group from making any comeback.
However, "Huang Ming Zu Xun" is the proof that he spent a lot of time worrying about future generations!
Use it as toilet paper!!!
snort!
Zhu Di quickly begged for mercy: "Dad, it's not my son who is to blame... Let's start with my great nephew, your good grandson..."
Zhu Di seized the opportunity and put the blame on Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen, who was watching the show: oO?
...
After the "North-South List" occurred, Zhu Yuanzhang died in the 31st year of Hongwu before he could formulate corresponding measures. The Spring and Summer List in the 30th year of Hongwu was undoubtedly the best method at the time. It stabilized the social environment and also properly took care of students in backward areas.
The system of selecting candidates from the north and south became the custom of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, and this continued until the reign of Emperor Renzong.
In the 22nd year of Yongle, Emperor Chengzu Judy died of illness in Yumuchuan, and the fat crown prince Zhu Gaochi succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty.
Renzong believed that the imperial examinations had been "too abused" in recent years and there were no fixed rules for the number of admissions, so he discussed this with his minister Yang Shiqi.
According to the "History of Ming Dynasty".
Yang Shiqi believed that "the imperial examination should recruit scholars from both the south and the north."
Renzong replied: "The knowledge of northerners is far inferior to that of southerners."
Shiqi said: "The talented and capable people all come from the north. Although the southerners have talents, they are mostly frivolous."
Shiqi said: "Let's seal their names and ask them to write the words South and North on the outside. If we want to select 100 people, then 60 will be from the South and 40 from the North. Talents from both the North and South will be included."
Yang Shiqi believed that the test papers should be covered with names, and the words "North" and "South" should be marked on the outside of the paper. If 100 people were to be selected, 60 would be from the South and 40 from the North. In this way, scholars from both the North and the South would be selected.
Renzong said, "Yes. In the past, no northern scholars passed the examination, so laziness became the norm. Now, if it is like this, northern scholars will also be inspired and rise up."
Therefore, Zhu Pangpang ordered the Ministry of Rites to discuss the number of admissions in various places. However, before the final decision was made, Emperor Renzong Pangpang, who had been in office for only ten months, died. At that time, the crown prince Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne and became Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as Xuanzong ascended the throne, he received a memorial from the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy, stating that: In terms of the number of candidates selected in the provincial examinations, there were eighty people from the Nanjing Imperial College and Southern Zhili, fifty people from the Beijing Imperial College and Northern Zhili, fifty people from the Jiangxi Provincial Administration, forty-five people each from Zhejiang and Fujian, forty people each from Huguang and Guangdong, thirty-five people each from Henan and Sichuan, thirty people each from Shaanxi, Shanxi and Shandong, twenty people from Guangxi, ten people each from Yunnan and Jiaozhi, and those from Guizhou who were willing to take the exam could do so in Huguang. The Ministry of Rites selected no more than a hundred people in the joint examination.
When the court determined the number of candidates for the provincial examinations in each province, Xuanzong gave another reply, ordering that among the 100 candidates for the joint examination, 60 would be from the south and 40 from the north.
In the second year of Xuande, Emperor Xuanzong put the idea of dividing the examination into north and south into practice. The imperial examination was divided into north and south for the first time, and this became the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty. Although the proportion of the north and south regions was adjusted in the later period, the system of dividing the examination into north and south into volumes was always upheld.
＜Judy died on the way back from the Northern Expedition, and the Yumuchuan Incident also occurred＞
＜The Three Yangs of the Renzong and Xuanzong Reigns, Yang Shiqi entered the Imperial Academy as a commoner＞
＜Yang Shiqi seems to be from Jiangxi, so does this count as a betrayal of his class?＞
＜From this perspective, it is quite fair, considering all aspects＞
＜If we look back, Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen always followed the southern civil service group, and they would not think of a way to solve the problems left after the North-South List. Zhu Di, on the other hand, was more concerned with solving the aftermath of the Jingnan Campaign and fighting wars [laughing and crying]＞
＜Just realized, the Renzong that up called was Fatty, what can Xuanzong be called? Ming Cricket Emperor? Forget it, our Xuanzong was fine except for his short life, hahaha＞
[Du Ruhui in the third year of Tang Zhenguan: Doing so does indeed avoid many unfair things]
[Sima Guang, the third year of Song Xining: Yang Shiqi is the image of our southern literati! ! ! ]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Judy died on the way back to the army, and the Yumuchuan Incident may be related to his son's fight for the throne]
...
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for this vassal king who fought from Yanjing to Nanjing.
Hongwu Dynasty
Zhu Yuanzhang's words floated through the hall: "Well, this system is good, and the method seems to be OK, so let's use it." He turned around and said to the officials of the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites: "After you go down, you can come up with a detailed set of regulations."
The north and south volumes, well, they belong to me!
Suddenly, he began to sigh: "This man called Yang Shiqi is actually a good minister!"
"Jinyiwei, please check where Yang Shiqi is now and how old he is?"
Jiang Xia
Yang Shiqi is 30 years old this year. He was extremely poor and destitute in the first 30 years of his life. Unfortunately, he failed the provincial examination in the 17th year of Hongwu, and then he taught in various places.
Although life was difficult, these were very helpful in shaping Yang Shiqi's character.
When Yang Shiqi saw the light curtain mention him, his first reaction was how could he have such honor and ability, and then he felt excited.
...
Yongle Dynasty
Zhu Di looked at the huge prince dimly and said disdainfully, "You've only been on the throne for ten months and you can't wait to come and accompany your father?"
Humph, you're still fat! The more you talk, the fatter you get!
Zhu Gaochi's lowered eyebrows and submissive look made Zhu Di even more annoyed.
Then he stared at the light curtain again. The five words "Yumuchuan Incident" on the light curtain made Zhu Di feel nervous. Whenever there was a "someone-something incident", nothing good would happen.
Gao Xu needs a good lesson. For his own life and for the Ming Dynasty, he should stop harboring unrealistic fantasies.
...
[The "North-South List" of the 30th year of Hongwu and the subsequent north-south division system were both "mediation techniques" in the words of Gu Yanwu.
However, this move greatly consolidated the ruling foundation of the Ming Dynasty and made people from all over the north and south united.
First of all, it gave the northern scholars more opportunities to pass the imperial examinations and become officials, and it also strengthened the court's control over the north and consolidated the great unification.
Secondly, it promoted the development of cultural and educational undertakings in various fields and made the imperial examination flourish again. Although later generations said that the eight-part essay imprisoned people's thoughts, given the historical conditions at that time, without the God's perspective, this might have been the best solution.
The long-war-torn north finally ushered in stable development, and teaching in the Ming Dynasty also ushered in a flourishing period.
The History of Ming Dynasty records: "There were schools everywhere, and there were people everywhere. The schools were well-regulated and well-regulated, and they were everywhere, whether in the countryside, in remote areas, in the mountains or on cliffs. The prosperity of schools in the Ming Dynasty was unprecedented since the Tang and Song Dynasties."]
