Royal road

There are 130 subjects in this year's system, more than [-] people have entered the test, and [-] people have been selected.The selection rate is really not low.As the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, Wen Qiao also learned about the list early on.Among them, the three in the special examination are even more eye-catching.

Among these three people, two are county magistrates and one is county magistrate Shi.However, unlike the low-ranking officials in the past, as long as they pass the special examination, they can also go to Taiwan Province.In addition, from various counties to Chongwenguan, officials below the fourth grade can also make up for a child to take the entrance examination.In the future, there must be more poor scholars entering the officialdom through Changke.If there are a few more poor scholars who were born as Jinshi, how many families in the center can occupy?What's more, there is the new policy of "no prefectures and counties, no Taiwan provinces".

This step-by-step change made the Beidi family wake up.At the beginning of the founding of the country, the move to restore the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law seemed more like a stopgap measure.Even if there are many sons of aristocratic families, what's the use if they can't enter the three provinces because of the quality of the village?

And these changes are even more sensitive to Wen Qiao, who works in the Ministry of Officials.

After the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, the original officials in the six divisions of Bingzhou surpassed Sihu and became the head of the six divisions.The appointment and examination of officials below the sixth rank are all in charge of the Ministry of Officials.This position of power is enough to stir people's hearts.However, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is Cui Ji, Cui Gongqiao, who has the merits of following the dragon and enlightened the prince.The Shangdang Cui family has no connection with Qinghe's lineage, but they are from a poor family.Even if the aristocratic families want to clear up the relationship, the other party may not respond.

Therefore, Wen Qiao, the second official of the official department, is of great significance.Originally from the Wen family in Taiyuan, they were the first gentry in Bingzhou to serve the emperor.He also served as a state and county, and was promoted all the way, which won the trust of the emperor.Now less than [-] years old, ranked fourth rank, the future is really boundless.

Who can have few in-laws and old acquaintances in every family?In front of Wen Qiao's mansion, there was a crowd of people.Many people even encouraged him to open the door of convenience for the aristocratic family.Literally set him on fire.

However, despite being persuaded by others, Wen Qiao never made up his mind.It was because he understood that the gentry who stayed in the Northland were not in the same mind.

Also from a noble family background, Wen Qiao is too aware of these noble tempers.There are not no aristocratic families who are passionate about prosperity and talk about being noble, but most of them followed suit and went south, living in Jiangdong.And those who stay in the north are not those who have a big family and a great career, and are not afraid of the tyranny of the barbarians.It is the generation with treacherous minds and opportunistic tricks.

These people can sit and talk to each other, but they will not put the interests of their wealth on others.If possible, it would be more enjoyable to step on someone else's back!

And the Son of Heaven should also be aware of their nature.Whether it's the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law or the Changke Selecting Scholars, they all give the aristocratic family a way.The boundaries have already been drawn, as long as they do not cross the boundaries, each depends on his ability, whoever earns it will be his.And if the aristocratic family really participates in the scientific examination, will it be worse than the humble scholars?

Like a pot of lukewarm water, boil everyone in it.Or go upstream, or sink to the bottom of the corpse.If there is a real objection, how did the Chen family of Yuzhou destroy their clan last year?It is a lesson for the past.

The possibility of becoming a king on his own, or even separatist regime, became increasingly slim.It is too late to flee to the Southland now.It is always better to stay in Dazhao than to be a vassal to the Huns.

This ring is so tight.Sometimes Wen Qiao couldn't help wondering whether he, the minister of officials, was also one of the emperor's secret tricks.I want to use him to catch those rebels who have evil intentions.

It is precisely because of this that Wen Qiao became more self-denying and devoted to public affairs.Being a man of two dynasties, he has gone through wars and chaos, and he knows better than anyone else that today is far better than King Sima.If he wanted to be a drunken man, he would have crossed the south of the Yangtze River long ago.And staying in Dazhao, no matter what your background is, as long as you have talents, are you afraid that you will have nowhere to display them?

When his youngest son is six years old, he will be sent to Chongwen Museum.The eldest son can inherit the title with kindness, but the other heirs have to rely on their own abilities.Back then, the six members of his family's father and uncle were known as the "Six Dragons". How could his descendants be inferior?

It's not just Wen Qiao, this reform of the system has also caused waves in the hearts of many people.However, there are not many who speak out.A few days ago, there was news that there was another civil uprising in Jiangdong, and dozens of county government offices were demolished.Not to mention the territory occupied by the Huns, there are tens of thousands of refugees who fled from Yongqin and Qin.The people are simply living in dire straits.

Although the world is big, there are not many places to live.Still family business and life are the most important.

No one objected, and all that was left was to sing praises.The scholars who were selected by Enke also entered the palace to see your Majesty according to the law.

Standing outside Dongye Gate, Sun Zhang felt sweat running down his back.Ever since he knew that he was on the apricot list and ranked in the top three of the "Wen Jing Bang Guo Ke", he was so excited that he couldn't sleep day and night.This is Encore's hit!Even if he is not as good as Chang Ke, he can still enter the court as an official.If it is released, at least it is the county magistrate who started.A few years ago, I'm afraid I wouldn't have dared to dream about it!

What's even better is that the other three people who had intersected with him were also selected.Except for Zou Qian's lower ranking, Lu Chun and Zhu Yue's scores are not bad!From now on, the four of them will be the serious "same year".In the officialdom, they can also take care of each other.

How can it not be exciting to be so happy and happy?So standing in front of this door, Sun Zhang's legs felt a little weak, not to mention his clothes were wet with sweat.Enke is no better than Changke. There is no theory of the Three Tripods and Jia, and it is impossible to enter the palace to play right.But being able to stand outside the Tai Chi Hall and see the majesty of the imperial city is also a golden opportunity!

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce that the new talents will enter the palace!" The voice of delivering the decree came from afar from the palace, echoing endlessly.

Changke Jidi is called "Jinshi", while Enke Jizhong is called "Xiucai".The talent of the show is also the dry city of the country.This is the approval of the Holy Son of Heaven to them, and it is also a grace.Hearing the "scholar" in the mouth of the ceremonial officer, tears almost fell from Sun Zhang's eyes.

With all his strength, he thanked the emperor for his kindness with everyone, followed the ceremony guide, and walked into the palace.

The palace walls just now are majestic and thick, making people awe-inspiring.However, when he really set foot in Miyagi, Sun Zhang realized that he was lonely.The Habayashi guards in sharp clothes stood in the road, the golden light of the weapon in their hands was shining, and the cold air was overflowing.The imperial bricks are like mirrors, the palaces are like forests, and the city towers are flying in the distance, making the sky a little lower.

Pass through the Zhiche Gate, then pass through the Xiangfeng Tower, enter the Duanmen Gate, and put the gorgeous Zongzhang Temple behind you. The Chinese and North Koreans in the "Three Dynasties and Five Gates" are fully displayed in front of you.

The five virtues alternate, Zhao Daijin, Huo De, Shang Chi.The main hall in front of him, with blue tiles and red pillars, is majestic and solemn, like a giant beast entrenched on a jade platform.The imperial steps of Shengdian are stretching, full of vermilion, and one step after another seems to be boundless, blending into the hall.The censer in front of the Taiji Hall emits mist, the feather forest is dense, and there is a brocade tower decorated with sundials, dotted among them.

Against the background of this huge palace, more than a hundred new talents are as insignificant as ants.

Wait for everyone to follow the etiquette officer's instructions and stand in line.The court musicians played Shao Yue.Sun Zhang's heartbeat became faster, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.This should be the ascension of the emperor, right?Is the Ninth Five-Year Lord in the hall in front of him?However, no matter how excited he was in his heart, he didn't dare to look up at Tianzi Lubo.Just according to what I learned before, together with all the officials in the palace, I went to Jishou and shouted long live.

During the singing of "Ping Shen", Sun Zhang's hands and feet trembled, and he stood up straight again.Sweat had already trickled down to his chin, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.After waiting for a while, an old man holding the imperial decree walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, stood on top of Dan Bi, and unfolded the imperial edict.

This person is Fan Long, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.Because Enke didn't have a palace test, the scholar was not allowed to go to the palace.However, there are still some people who passed on the family members in the Golden Palace and played the titles before the imperial court.Although he was old, Fan Long's voice was still high and full of energy.

"In the fourth year of enlightenment, the emperor Long En opened a department to attract talents from all over the world. Today, 130 and eight scholars are selected. Three people are selected from the special performance department, and they are born with Jinshi. The erudite Wenda department takes 12 people; Wenbang Jingguo Department, take five people...and ten people for medicine department. They are all awarded the ninth grade, and bestowed with a scholar's background!"

The special performance department even gave him a Jinshi background!Moreover, no official has been conferred, so this is to be determined according to the original official position?However, these things just disappeared in Sun Zhang's mind.Just because on the high platform, the Minister of Rites has already started to read everyone's names!

"...Wen Bang Jing Guo Ke No.3, Sun Zhang."

When the name was heard outside the main hall and the servants sang it in unison, Sun Zhang really shed tears, stepped forward and kowtowed to the ground: "Minister Sun Zhang, thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

His voice blended into the thank-you voices of the others, making it hard to hear.Yet no one cares.Sun Zhang only felt that his life's wish had been fulfilled.

However, after the 130 eight people finished reading one by one, the small yellow gate in the hall said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, Xuante Zouke and Jinshi will enter the Taiji Hall to have an audience."

Sun Zhang's mouth almost failed to close.Enter the temple to face the saint!Does the special performance department have such an honor?This is even better than the real Jinshi, only the Three Tripods can compare!

But no matter how you think about it, those three people have already come out, and under the leadership of the ceremony officer, they stepped onto Danbi and entered the hall.An unspeakable feeling suddenly ignited in his chest, and Sun Zhang gritted his teeth.He still has hope.As long as you work hard as an official and study hard, one day, you can get such an honor!

The emperor never despised them.This master of the Tai Chi Palace is worthy of his heart and soul, and he will die before him!

Suddenly, there was a crisp bang.With his mind in turmoil, Sun Zhang couldn't help but look up.I saw two small doors opened on the brocade tower outside the hall.Two wooden figures of more than three feet stepped out of the door at the same time.One rang the bell, and the other held up a placard.His eyes flickered, and although he couldn't see the words on the card clearly, he could clearly see the purple robe on the puppet.

Shocked, Sun Zhang hastily lowered his gaze.What's this?Did God give him a good omen, foretelling that he could also wear crimson?

In fact, Sun Zhang didn't notice that most of the scholars in the ranks couldn't help taking a look just now, and they all saw the purple-robed puppet.The corner of the ceremony guide's mouth twitched slightly, pretending not to see them, and never reprimanded them for their disrespectful behavior.

After all, there are not many emperors who will repair the bell tower in front of the Taiji Hall.In comparison, it is more normal for Emperor Wei Ming to spend huge sums of money to build bronze dragons and phoenixes in front of Shiqian Hall.

But the Holy Son of Heaven, there is always something strange.Just looking at the awe-inspiring eyes of those people, you can tell that the bell tower is not in vain.Stealing another glance at the time on the sundial on the roof, the ceremony director lowered his eyes again, waiting for the ceremony to end.

"On the day of enrolling in the imperial examination, return the clothes to your hometown... That is to say, if you really become an official, I am afraid it will not be so easy to return to your hometown." Leaning in front of the imperial case, Liang Feng laughed.

Now the government is promoting the method of being an official in a different place. If you really become an official, you will have to avoid your hometown when you are released.Those four lines of entrance examination poems were purely drawn out by Liang Feng from his memory, so he couldn't comprehend them accurately.

But it's really useful.If it wasn't for the fear of repercussions caused by the smell of copper, he really wanted to include the song "There is Yan Ruyu in the book".Selecting scholars through the imperial examination is a good strategy for centralizing power and controlling the local area.As long as he has the ability, which emperor wants to see the face of the local boss?

"There are more candidates for this subject, my lord, do you want to attack Yongzhou?" Beside him, Yiyan hooked a silver spoon and picked out another cherry pit.A few processed cherries were piled on the small jade plate opposite, almost worth a bite.

Yiyan didn't expect to see it.Liang Feng raised his eyebrows, threw the pile of sweet and sour cherries into his mouth, and said: "After two years of beating in Yuzhou, it is still docile. The front line has also been pushed to the north bank of the Huai River. There is no need to worry about the future, it is time to move to Yongzhou Besides, the Qin Tianjian just reported that there will be several solar eclipses in the next two years. Now that the Di and Qiang in Yong and Qin are in rebellion, and there is a solar eclipse again, will those Huns still have the heart to defend the city?"

These words lifted Yiyan's spirit: "If there is a solar eclipse, I will definitely be able to conquer Chang'an in one battle!"

"It's good to defeat the enemy in one battle, but the loss is too great. Take your time, coerce the Xiongnu to retreat, and let them waste their troops. There are still too many Qianghu attached to Yongqin and Qin, which is not a good thing after all." Liang Feng saw it. clear.Those Diqiang and Zahu who followed the Xiongnu rebellion were enough to constitute a factor of instability.

These people don't just have to surrender.If it drops today, it may reverse tomorrow.We can only force the puppet Han to consume himself first, and destroy his combatable soldiers as much as possible.After the settlement, the people were scattered and mixed with the Han people for assimilation.It may take 50 or even a hundred years to completely eliminate hidden dangers.

But what he wants is the real unification.It is not the grand scene of the Siyi coming to court, but assimilation and annihilation, complete annexation and stability.It is worth spending some time on this goal.

Although Yiyan is also a barbarian, he doesn't pay attention to the debate between Hua and Barbarians.As long as the country can be stable and the people can live happily, that is the greatest blessing.Since Bingzhou can be achieved, if you want to come to Yongzhou, you can also be treated the same.

"If this is the case, I'm afraid it will take two years." Yiyan thought for a while and said, "On the Huai River line, we need to stockpile food and prepare for war, and drill the navy."

After defeating the Huns, they will send troops to conquer the south.This is not something that can be solved by simply riding on foot.How Wei Wu was able to fight back then was not because he defeated Chibi.Without a strong enough navy, it is purely a dream to conquer Jiangdong.

Liang Feng smiled: "Naturally. I still have the treasure at the bottom of the box, but I haven't taken it out..."

Halfway through the conversation, a servant from the Eastern Palace suddenly asked to see him.When the emperor summoned the chariot generals to discuss state affairs, no one dared to disturb them.However, the subordinates of the Eastern Palace were unusual, Liang Feng sat up slightly and called him in.

Soon, the visitor ran all the way, rushed into the hall, and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty is overjoyed! The Crown Princess is pregnant!"

"What!" Liang Feng couldn't help leaning forward, "Has the hospital confirmed the diagnosis?"

"The Imperial Physician has personally checked the pulse! It's absolutely true!" The little Huangmen blushed with excitement, and replied loudly.

"Okay! There is a reward!" Liang Feng tightly grasped the hands of the people around him.The princess is pregnant, but it's a great thing!Once the emperor's grandson is born, the inheritance of three generations is settled.Only this one can make all the fencers fall to Zhao!

"I congratulate Your Majesty!" The other hand stroked the back of Liang Feng's hand.

Turning her head, a pair of blue eyes were shining, full of joy.Yes, he also hoped that Rong'er would give birth to a grandson sooner.I hope that I can find a way to repay the crime of infatuation I committed.Heart, was rubbed severely.Liang Feng suddenly said: "It happens that Ai Qing is also in the palace, would you like to follow me to the East Palace?"

Yi Yan hesitated for a moment, then a smile slowly appeared on his face: "This is the minister's luck."

Liang Feng also laughed.Holding Yiyan's hand, he stood up and swayed to the East Palace.

The author has something to say:

The title of scholar came from the Han Dynasty.The minister and each state can recommend a scholar every year, which means excellent talent.Later, when Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu ascended the throne, it was changed to Maocai.When I arrived in the Three Kingdoms, I changed it back.Changing to Liang Shao's side, using it as the name of the department, actually gave these people a high look.However, the tradition that Jinshi is higher than Xiucai is likely to be passed down.
