Chapter 10: Drastic 2

In the previous dynasty, the system of inspection and requisition was implemented, that is, the local and central officials such as the three princes were responsible for understanding, evaluating and recruiting some people to serve as officials in the imperial court. There are two main types of objects recruited by the pen www.biquge.info the pavilion, one is Xiucai, and the other is filial piety. Xiucai mainly has a better understanding of Confucian classics, while filial piety is filial piety to his parents. In the middle of the previous dynasty, the system of inspection and requisition was already very corrupt, so there were songs: filial piety, ignorance, talent, and father.

Some of the children of local officials and eunuchs, in order to get out of office, use all kinds of means to seek fame for themselves, and it is easier to find out the real talent and learning, so most people are born from filial piety, as long as they are better to their parents, they can come out to be officials, and gradually, the quality of the recommended people has become poorer. Also, some people who are really talented and learned, but have a low background, and have no way to be appreciated by officials, can only be obscure.

In the later period of the previous dynasty, the officialdom was corrupt, so the emperor Cao Yuan resolutely ordered "meritocracy", creating a glorious era of the official election system. In Cao Yuan's hands, you don't need to have any background and fame, as long as you are talented, you can be appointed. Therefore, in the Cao Yuan era, talents were the most and the best quality.

However, Cao Yuan's meritocracy system also has many drawbacks, the biggest drawback is that it has caused dissatisfaction among many families, the original power of the court is controlled by them, but now there are some poor scholars in and out of it, taking away their power. Moreover, with the strength and stability of the power, the former humble family has gradually become a new wealthy family, and new drawbacks have also been derived.

After Cao Yuan, the crown prince Cao Bi ascended the throne, and Cao Bi's mother's family, the Empress Dowager Xuanbian, was the largest family at the time, the Wei family, and in order to protect her own interests, she hoped to abolish Cao Yuan's meritocracy order. Proposed by Shangshu Chen Jun, the nine-product Zhongzheng system began to be implemented.

Its content is to place the center in the state and county, and select local sages and discerning people to do it.

Distinguish the characters and set them as nine products (upper upper, upper middle, upper and lower, middle upper, middle middle, middle lower, lower upper, lower middle, lower upper middle, lower upper grade). Then it is selected by the officials.

As early as when Cao Yuan was in power, the prince He Xian suggested to Cao Yuan:

Since the rise of the military, the system has been created, and the employment of people has not been detailed, so as to introduce their own types and forget morality,...... I think that if I use it from now on, I must first nucleate the hometown, so that the young and the old will be in harmony, and there will be no one stepping on each other...... It is also possible to repair the order of the guarantee, so that it is not true, so that the division will not be burdened. In the courtiers, those who were taught and Cao were selected together, each with their own responsibilities, the upper to observe the courtiers' festivals, and the lower to plug the source of competition. ”

Cao Yuan has already expressed his "goodness" for the above suggestions, but he has not yet implemented them. Cao Yuan died after his death, and Cao Bi ascended the throne for only two or three months, and then promulgated the law of the Nine Rank Officials.

The purpose and results of Cao Bi's implementation of the Nine Grades Zhongzheng System: first, in order to make the bureaucrats of the world support him as the emperor, he implemented the system of menyin and Shijin that was beneficial to the world; Second, if it is found that the name does not match the real after the selection, the crime of untruthfulness can still be cured, so as to avoid that no one is responsible for the quality of the elected officials; Third, the selection of talents by the Ministry of Officials means that the number of subordinate members of the Minister will be reduced by 2,000 stones, which will help strengthen the imperial power; Fourth, judging from historical data, after the implementation of the law of the Nine Grades of Officials, the old system of inspection and expropriation was not abolished.

However, Cao Bi's system also has serious drawbacks, because the division of official grades has made the wealthy more powerful, and gradually evolved into the scholar class of our dynasty, forming a situation where there is no poor family in the upper grades and no scholars in the lower grades, which seriously affects the introduction of talents.

To my Zhao Emperor Liu Ling, at the same time as the door shade entered the office, the big examination was held every year, and the top 50 were selected, which were used by each division.

Li Zi proposed that the admission of scholars should be abolished, and that the selection of talents should be completely carried out by the imperial examination system, and that the right to take scholars should be vested in the central government, and that scholars should be allowed to apply for examinations freely. Everything is based on Cheng Wen to stay, and the Jinshi subject is the main subject, and the scholars regularly go to the examination. The big exam once a year is also set for two, divided into spring and autumn.

Hearing Li Zi's suggestion, I couldn't help but applaud in my heart, but it's a pity that it is difficult for him to do so at this stage.

Liu Heng seemed to have listened to Li Zi's opinion and pondered for a long time.

At this time, Li Puzheng began to get anxious, and said three sentences in a row, "Your Majesty, most of the ministers in my court rely on the blessing and blessing of their ancestors to have today's situation, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this!" ”

Liu Heng didn't seem to hear Li Puzheng's words, and then asked Li Zi, "What does Aiqing think about the Wengchuan displaced people incident?" ”

Li Zizi straightened upright, bowed his head slightly, and said, "The minister proposes to establish a government military system!" ”

Liu Heng asked with some confusion, "What is the government military system?" ”

Li Zi went on to say, "The government soldiers usually train for the people who cultivate the land, and they serve in the army to fight in wartime, and the government soldiers participate in the war with their own weapons and horses, and the most important thing is the integration of soldiers and farmers. ”

"This time the Wengchuan bandits are serious, so our army can provide food and grass to train the victims, the army and the people are united, and the bandits should be self-defeating!"

"No, food and grass are limited, if you miss the military plane, what crime should you be guilty of!" Li Pu was jumping to his feet in a hurry.
