Chapter 460: Scourge
In the later period, the power of various places was divided, and the imperial court was unable to control the clans and gate valves in various places. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The power of the family in the DPRK and China was divided, and there were very few people who were truly loyal to the emperor, and most of the people of insight were in the hands of the family.
Speaking of the scourge of the world, it has been going on for a long time.
Since the implementation of the Shiqing and Shilu systems in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Han Gaozu has been the first to seek meritorious edicts, and the precedent of the inspection system has been opened.
The local governor recruited people of high moral character and outstanding learning within his rule, and then recommended them to the imperial court, and then appointed to official positions after examination.
In this way, there are advantages and disadvantages, because the power to select materials is concentrated in the hands of the emperor and local officials, and officials have a decisive influence on the selection of people, and the situation of cronyism, wealth, and power is very serious.
In the later period, the meritorious person was recommended, when he united with the officials he was raised, to form the family gate valve, the inspection system was manipulated and used by the family, and the gate valve clan influenced the public opinion of the township, and in that period, it was like the hotbed of the family, and the Xie family and the Wang family rose one after another.
The proprietors have a great future, one step to the sky, the wealthy family is even more powerful, and the poor students are abandoned to the center of power.
The Shi clan controlled the government, which made the political situation chaotic at that time, and on the issue of electing officials, the Shi clan and the Hanmen were full of contradictions and fierce struggles.
It was not until after the death of Emperor Wu of Wei that Emperor Wen of Wei, under the advice of his minister Chen Changwen, officially created the Zhongzheng Nine-Rank System.
This is an extension of the probationary system, which attaches equal importance to family background, morality, and talent.
Emperor Wu of Wei was not from a famous family, and his grandfather was the opposite of a famous man. At that time, celebrities and scholars looked down on him and confronted him, and when the township commented, it was a big blow to Emperor Wu's reputation.
At that time, Emperor Wu's regime still needed to rely on the local scholars, because of its high prestige, it could not completely abolish the review, and if it was forced, it would only make people criticize. In the end, Emperor Wu had no choice but to cooperate with the government to set up a central official to control the celebrities and gate valves.
At the beginning, Emperor Wu controlled the clan, the gate valve and some celebrities, so that they had many scruples when commenting and speaking, but at the same time, because of the legalization of the review, it also laid the foundation for the development of the clan and the famous family.
The prefect of the county is elected by the county officials, and this move will bring the celebrities and scholars who have formed a party of friends under the control of the imperial court, and the selected people will be used in the nine grids, and they will be evaluated for appointment in the future.
And Zhongzheng is also divided into nine products, reborn from the family, the upper three products are the top grades, Zhongzheng is almost all held by the second grade, and the second product has the right to participate in the pre-election, at the same time, the second grade Zhongzheng is almost all from the family of the door valve, which makes the power of the official selection by the family of the family of the door valve.
So much so that in the later period, the children of the famous families of the family and the weak crown, without inspection, were directly selected by the family to enter the office, and borrowed the family family to get the middle and high quality.
At that time, among the Xie family, there were young people who were not as weak as the crown, and they were appointed to high-ranking officials.
In the later period, after the emergence of the state, the power of the clan gate lord developed wildly at this time.
In the Jin Dynasty, it was recorded that among the 209 people who entered the office in a year, 119 people were born from the family gate.
The rest of the people, to a greater or lesser extent, are also involved in the constant connection with the family.
At that time, officials were selected, and the family was more important than the moral talent.
There is no cold man in the upper grade, and there is no powerful family in the lower grade.
"There is a public door, there is a secretary in the court, there is a constant humiliation in the lowly, and there is always glory in the noble, and the reward cannot persuade him to work hard, and the punishment cannot stop him from being lazy." Fu Minghua murmured softly, this passage means: The descendants of the three dukes can also succeed to the throne as the third duke, and the descendants of Wang Qing's nobles are also Wang Qing, the status of the poor and lowly has always been low, and the nobles are still noble.
This state of affairs makes it impossible to exert oneself without a reward, nor does punishment to discourage oneself from laziness.
After the development of the Chen Dynasty, the Chen Dynasty also suffered from it, and during the heyday of the strength of the clan, most of the officials in the court were the children of the clan lords, and the children of the Han Sect who could be used and used were not included in the court.
Some of the clans are fighting with each other, the prestige of the Son of Heaven is insufficient, the emperor is lazy and disgusting, he likes to be extravagant and wasteful, his temperament is mediocre, the government is corrupt, the officials are corrupt, and the people are not happy.
Until Taizu rebelled, overthrew the Chen Dynasty, abolished the Zhongzheng nine-grade system, and implemented the imperial examination.
Because of the lessons of the past, Taizu wanted to pinch the disaster of the family in the seedlings in the early days, and the means were fierce and cut the grass and eradicated the roots.
At first glance, it seemed that this was a thunderous method, but it also laid the root of the curse.
Although there are many talented people among the children of the poor family, there are only a few who are really talented and morally excellent.
Most of the well-educated are still from the family.
Taizu's methods were too much, so that for many years afterward, the imperial court fell into an extremely embarrassing situation, and no one was available.
"What's the point of being able to beat the country? Only when you can govern the country can you do it. The Queen Mother took a breath and smiled slightly.
At that time, when Taizu realized that his methods were too radical and he should have taken it slowly, it was already too late.
At the beginning of the imperial examination system, it was not as Taizu imagined, and there were many famous people in the world, and people of insight all defected to the imperial court to follow its example.
On the contrary, there is a lack of manpower and officials from all walks of life, many people are afraid of what Taizu did back then, and they are afraid of being slaughtered, some volunteers hide in the mountains and forests, enjoy themselves, and do not want to be driven by others, and some people from the world are also afraid that the emperor will unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future.
"In the previous dynasty, inside and outside the palace, the tastes of officials were all formulated in detail, but now, Yuan Niang, in office now, the officials are less than half of the former Chen Dynasty." The Queen Mother endured the cough, Fu Minghua took a soft pillow for her, put it behind her waist, and took tea to nourish her body, sent it to the Queen Mother's mouth, and fed her some to drink.
"This is already the end of the emperor's painstaking operation for many years."
The Queen Mother took a few sips of water and closed her eyes.
The eagerness of the first emperor back then, the picture was happy for a while, but it left a great disadvantage to the court situation, and the words "no one is available" sounded ridiculous at first, but under careful scrutiny, it is really worth pondering.
Fu Minghua can almost imagine that before the young Emperor Jia'an ascended the throne, he encountered such a big problem, how should he solve it?
It is not a simple matter to make celebrities and students restore their fear of the imperial court, and then enter the government and be used by the Tang Dynasty.
"That's why my mother married into the Changle Mansion." Cui Guifei was also a member of the Cui family, and under the smiling face of the first emperor, she was welcomed into the palace of the Wei King in Luoyang.
The Queen Mother smiled on her face and sighed:
"You're a smart kid."
It was precisely because of the predicament at that time that the Xie family, one of the four clans representing the south of the Yangtze River, married into the Changle Hou Mansion. ‘
At the beginning, her marriage seemed to be just Fu Qixian's luck, but in fact, this marriage brought the sincerity of the Xie family in the face of the emperor.
At that time, the two surnames of the Xie family and the Fu family were good, which made the Jiangzhou Xie family make some efforts for the talents of the imperial court.
That year, many talented people in Jiangnan went to Luoyang to take the exam, which solved the urgent need of the imperial court at that time. (To be continued.) )
