第七百三十五章 煤气灯

镇海路，枫园，钦差行辕。
枫园是各省官员前来上海最喜欢的落脚点之一，距离镇海公府不过一里之遥，占地广阔，景色优美，大大小小的院子错落有致，內里装饰、器具摆设大多是中西合璧，令人耳目一新，园子里还装上了煤气灯，诺大一个枫园到的晚上灯火通明，恍如白昼。
奕訢一进枫园，便吩咐道：“询问一下六部，有无关注英吉利文官考核制度的，若是没有，尽快跟英国领事馆询问了解。”
枫园里灯火通明但却静悄悄的，看不见几个人影，出访两年，所有的使团成员都养成了良好的习惯，下榻之后都会在晚间整理所见所闻所思所想，等闲不会轻易出来闲荡。
奕訢、奕枻两人回到下榻的独院不久，就闻报吏部左侍郎曾国藩求见，奕枻笑道：“看来还是有人留意到英吉利的文官考核制度，让他进来。”
四十余岁，留着长须的曾国藩脚步稳重的走进房间，一撩官袍，跪下道：“下官见过五爷六爷。”
“伯涵无须多礼。”奕訢一脸和煦的道，随即一展手，“看座。”
起身落座，曾国藩便缓声道：“回二位王爷，英吉利建立常任文官制度，成立专门委员会，主持普通文职官员竞争性考试，不过才数年时间，虽不乏特色，但却不适宜朝廷借鉴。”
奕訢缓声问道：“是何特色？”
“英吉利是会议制君主立宪，保守党和工党轮流组阁执政。”曾国藩不慌不忙的道：“英吉利的文官考核制度中的文官，实际上并不包括内阁大臣，也就是所谓的政务官，而仅仅只是事务官，也即不参加党派之争，只是负责执行政.府的政策。
他们的主要作用是，在两党轮流执政也就是内阁发生更迭的情况下，保证政策的稳定性和连续性，就好比是永远不会更迭的幕后政.府，如果说内阁是前台，文官系统就是后台，前台轮番换人，后台始终如一，这就是英吉利文官制度最重要的特色。”
听的这番话，奕訢、奕枻对视了一眼，两人都有些不解，这与科举制度有何关系？易知足为何会在谈及废除科举之时刻意的提及英吉利的文官制度？
见的两人脸有疑色，曾国藩迟疑下才道：“二位王爷，这英吉利文官考核制度说起来还是仿效咱们的科举制度，以前西洋各国采取的都是赐官制或者是政党分肥制，在接触了解我朝的科举制度之后，才开始确立从竞争性考试中选拔文职官员的制度，最早采取文官考核的是法兰西，随后是普鲁士，再之后才是英吉利。”
听的这话，奕枻很是有些意外，脱口道：“易国城反对的只是科举的内容？”
奕訢微皱了下眉头随即又舒展开来，看了曾国藩一眼，道：“伯涵乃是科举入仕，对八股取士，是何看法？”
奕訢在返航之时就曾多次流露，大清要想富国强兵，必须变法革新，推行宪政改革，对此，曾国藩自然是有所耳闻，听的奕枻脱口而出的一句，他已是隐隐猜到这两位王爷有废除科举之意，而且易知足似乎也是赞成，他心里不由一紧。
他本身就是湘乡荷叶塘一农家子弟，通过科举得以出人头地，往来朋友尽皆士子，对于科举的认识，远比奕訢、奕枻、易知足等透彻。
略微沉吟，他才漫声道：“崇祯末年，曾有士子在京师皇城大明门上张贴一仪状——谨具大明江山一座，崇祯夫妻两口，奉申贽敬，晚生八股顿首。这是将前明灭亡之责，归咎于八股文的文体上以及八股文取士。
亦有讽刺八股取士词曲：读书人，最不济；滥时文，烂如泥。国家本为求才计，谁知变做了欺人技。三句承题，两句破题。摆尾摇头，便道是圣门高弟。
可知道，三通四史，是何等文章；汉祖唐宗，是那朝皇帝，案上放高头讲章，店里买新科利器，读得来肩背高低，口角唏嘘，甘蔗渣儿，嚼了又嚼，有何滋味？辜负光阴，白日昏迷，就教骗得高官，也是百姓朝廷的晦气。”
说到这里这里，他轻叹了一声，“实则从圣祖继位之初到高宗，百余年间，朝野上下对八股取士的争议就一直不曾断绝，康熙年间，一度废除八股，但旋即恢复，康熙之黄机、王士桢、雍正之张廷玉，乾隆之鄂尔泰皆反对废除八股文。”
听的这番话，奕枻、奕訢不不由的面面相觑，康雍乾三代朝野上下对八股文的争议就如此之大？康熙之时还废除过八股文？
“自明代中期以来，八股之争，历来便是贬多褒少。”曾国藩加重了语气道：“下官窃以为，八股空洞无用，学用不一，言行不一，令天下士子埋头儒家经书之中，《史记》、《汉书》不闻，《通典》、《通志》不问，思维僵化，固步自封，当此前所未有之大变局中，当废除八股！”
说到这里，他话头一转，“不过，八股取士并不代表科举制度，废除八股可，废除科举，则万万不可！”
“为何？”奕枻沉声道。
略微沉吟，曾国藩才道：“科举事关国本，一言难尽，下官明日写个条陈呈览。”
奕訢微微颌首道：“科举事关重大，伯涵不妨仔细斟酌，细细拟份条陈。”
“下官尊命。”曾国藩拱手道，顿了顿，他接着道：“下官与易国城乃是旧识，既来上海，想去拜访一下。”
“伯涵不提及，本王倒是忘了。”奕訢含笑道：“连夜去罢，使团明日可能就得回京。”待的曾国藩起身行礼告辞，他又补充了一句，“微服前去罢。”
镇海公府，后院。
严可欣陪着易知足就在月色在院子里散步，严可欣遥指着马路上透过来的煤气灯光，笑道：“西洋人的东西越发实用了，这煤气灯宛如一颗颗熠熠生辉的夜明珠。”
