When it comes to the merit order, most of the people in later generations think of Cao Cao, but unfortunately, many people only know one of them, and they may not even know much about this one.

In fact, long before Cao Cao, many people had already put forward the order to seek talent, and Cao Cao was not the founder of the order, among which the more famous two were Qin Xiaogong and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Qin Xiaogong's order to seek merit created the rise of the Qin Dynasty. If Qin Xiaogong had not issued an order to seek merit at that time, there might have been no Shang Ying, let alone a rich country and a strong army.

At that time, many talents who were not reused in other princes' countries, or were excluded, went to the Qin State one after another, and went to a country that was originally considered by most people to be a wild land and a gathering place for Yidi......

And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is even more interesting, especially the sentence "If you have extraordinary merits, you must treat extraordinary people", it has become a classic, perhaps only such an eclectic mind to reduce talents, so in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were also a large number of precedents of Hu people being officials and even being feudal.

As for Cao Cao.

Hehe.

Strictly speaking, Cao Cao's order to seek talent was issued not once, but three times. The first time it was called the "Order to Seek Talents", which was issued in the spring of the 15th year of Jian'an, the second time it was called the "Order of the Abolition of the Shortness of the Order", which was promulgated in the 19th year of Jian'an, and the third time it was called the "Order of Promoting Virtue and Conduct", which was issued in the 22nd year of Jian'an.

Throughout the history of Cao Cao's talent team, the most important of which is the group of people who started from Yanzhou, such as the Xiahou family, the Cao brothers, as well as Xun Yu Chengyu Guo Jia, etc., the second batch is the wave of talents in Yuzhou later, such as Zhong Xuan, Chen Qun, Wang Lang, Du Xi, Xin Bi, Zhao Yan and so on.

And those who surrendered and surrendered after conquering various places became the third echelon of personnel, such as Zhang Fan, Tian Chou, Wang Xiu, Bing Yuan, Guan Ning, Cui Yan, Huanjie, Wenpin, Wang Cang, etc......

But what is very interesting is that the above personnel were all under Cao Cao's command as officials before the recruitment order. After the issuance of the recruitment order, that is, fifteen years after Jian'an, Cao Cao's talent group did not add many new entrants, and at the same time, after the Battle of Chibi, the pattern of the Three Kingdoms has been determined, and the flow of talents is smaller than before the war.

So when Cao Cao already has a large number of talented people and the overall Three Kingdoms pattern has been basically decided, why did he repeatedly issue orders to seek talents?

There is a saying that the drunkard does not mean to drink.

Cao Cao's recruitment order was not only written for the world's corporal clans, but also for Liu Xie.

The Han Dynasty was a scholar society, as the former "eunuch remnant" of Cao Cao, although through strategy and force to obtain the broadest and strongest land, but in the face of the family, especially those such as Yuan Yang and other "four worlds and three dukes" of the scholar family, who really supports the Cao family, who is temporary, these have become a very thorny issue that Cao Cao must thoroughly investigate internally.

Therefore, establishing authority and changing the concept of the family is what Cao Cao must do at that point in time.

The recruitment order is the first temptation, which has a sentence of "being brown and jade", and a sentence of "bright and ugly, only talent", which can be seen. Cao Cao used Brown Huaiyu, a poor and talented person, as an example, and this metaphor is not a complete metaphor for those undiscovered sages, but a reflection of Cao Cao himself!

And "Ming Yang and Ugly" came out of "Shangshu", which was originally the words of Emperor Yao Jushun to make Xian, so in fact, whether the recruitment order is really recruiting talents is actually very clear......

The ensuing behavior also says the same thing.

Three years later, in the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was officially named the Duke of Wei. Since then, in this land of the Han Dynasty, the banner of the Han Dynasty has been replaced by the banner of the Wei State. In addition, the Wei State was also allowed to build its own Sheji and Zongmiao, and could set up Shangshu, Shizhong, and other officials inside and outside Jiuqing who were exactly the same as the original Han Dynasty court, just like a country within a country.

So in fact, the order of seeking talent is not an ordinary sage, but forcing Liu Xie to give way to Cao Cao, a sage......

At the same time, from another point of view, is the promulgation of the merit-seeking order really a person in one place and one county who can say that he wants to issue it?

Look at who issued the merit order before?

Qin Xiaogong.

Emperor.

And then there was Cao Cao, and when was Cao Cao awarded at that time?

Fifteen years of Jian'an.

Two years have passed since the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan and Jiangnan have a threat, but the threat is not big, and Liu Bei has not even been able to fully enter Sichuan, and he will not really turn his face with Liu Zhang until the seventeenth year of Jian'an.

Half of the world in the Han Dynasty was already in Cao Cao's hands, and at this time Cao Cao issued an order to test the water and build a peacock platform to see the limelight......

And if the image of the Han Dynasty has not completely collapsed, it blatantly uses one place and one county, or even occupies a few county seats, to issue a stabbing order to the world?

Seeking talents in the name of filial piety in a county and a county, this is their duty, and seeking talents from all over the world, hehe, it is really a thing that can only be done to a certain extent in ignorance......

It is estimated that if Sima Zhao grows up ahead of schedule, he will immediately pounce on him and clasp his hands tightly and shout comrade, isn't this obviously about to seek to usurp the throne and rebel?

So Fei Qian has always wanted to, but he didn't dare.

After all, risks are everywhere.

But this time, it's a great opportunity......

It was Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, who issued the order to seek talents, so the original risks and problems no longer existed. As the Son of Heaven, he is naturally qualified to extend an olive branch to the talents of the whole world, and he will not suffer from any gossip, because this is a matter of course in itself.

At the same time, the issuance of the merit order will inevitably have a strong impact on the promotion model of officials originally established on the "recommendation system" of the scholar clan, and all the side effects of this powerful shock wave will naturally be carried down by Liu Xie's shining big shield, and Fei Qian will also have the right to follow-up interpretation.

Aha, you're not convinced?

If you don't accept it, you will go to the Han Emperor Liu Xie......

And in this way, there are some additional effects, and these effects, hidden but effective, may play some special effects in the future for a period of time.

Just like playing chess, if you can't see your next move, then there is no way forward, if you can't see the opponent's next move, then you have already lost half of it, if you want to win in the struggle of this chessboard, then you not only need to know how you want to move, but also need to know how the opponent will move, of course, the farther you see, the better, the probability of winning will naturally be greater.

To issue a recruitment order, it is naturally the most appropriate before the palace.

Fei Qian, as an old oilman in the office in later generations, naturally knew what to do to make Liu Xie feel the most comfortable. In such a matter as the talent order, it is not a full control of the big package, nor is it a report on everything one by one, but just like in the office of later generations, find some things that are easy to change and ask Liu Xie to get ideas......

For example, whether to use red or black on both sides of the road, etc., no matter how they are changed, it is relatively easy and will not affect the overall situation, but they can give Liu Xie a sense of control and participation.

Therefore, for the first time since Liu Xie ascended the throne, he felt that he was playing the leading role in such a major political event, rather than a foil for other officials, let alone a puppet who could only obey his words.

On the square of the main hall of the school palace, the flag fluttered, and the armor soldier held a knife and guarded the periphery. Facing the main hall door, Fei Qian led everyone to stand solemnly and waited quietly. Today, if you want Liu Xie to feel like a protagonist, you naturally want to make her the focus of attention.

"The auspicious time has come!"

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

"Welcome!"

With the tone of the ceremonial official's subdued tone, a gorgeous and colorful canopy umbrella stretched out from the main hall, and under the canopy umbrella was Liu Xie, who was dressed up.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Everyone, love Qing Ping!"

After the process of one board and one eye was completed, Liu Xie took a roll of towel silk from the hand of the attendant on the side. Generally speaking, Liu Xie does not need to recite this "Recruitment Order" in person, like other edicts, it is enough for the eunuch to read it directly in public, but this time, maybe he feels that this matter is very important, or he feels that he should do something for the Han, Liu Xie insists on doing it himself.

“…… In the past, Taizu established the country, flourished in the glory and martial arts, cultivated virtue and benevolence, graced China, the East China Sea and the Western Regions, the southern Xinjiang and the Northern Desert, and the fertile soil was thousands of miles, which was very broad and beautiful. However, today is restless, the family and country are restless, the external troubles have not disappeared, and internal worries have been added......"

“…… The world is vast, and it is pregnant and born in all directions. The light and dark, the sun, the moon and the stars, the depths, the rivers, the seas, the mountains and rivers, the high and low, the giant trees and pampas seedlings, what is not available? Why not? ”

“…… It is difficult for the ancient talents, Jiang Weng is poor, Zhong Ni'e, shaving the patella, humiliating the crotch, it is difficult, and it is also difficult to recognize talents! Now it may be clear and clear, persistent and steadfast; Or under the high position, morality is heavy and the responsibility is light; or filial piety brother Litian, Su Xing Gaoli; or Hongbi Lizao, Wenmei Zhanghua; or academic, well-informed; or clear political affairs, it is new; Such a person, and Taoguang do not use, Shi advanced without rank, committed to Peng, this is the harm of the Han and ......"

“…… Virtue needs to be raised, and only then is virtue shown. Those who are virtuous are credible, and those who are talented are promising. Those who have both ability and political integrity are the pillars of the country. Great talents can be used, and the sun and moon are in order; Geniuses have to be used, He Qing Haiyan; All talents can be used, and the world is peaceful. It is not used, it is the darkness of the country and the defeat of the dynasty. Make the best use of it, so that it is the brightness of the country and the prosperity of the dynasty ......"

“…… Therefore, if there are talented and virtuous people who can plan a strong man, I will not be stingy, respect the official and the marquis, in order to show their talents......"

Liu Xieluo's immature voice echoed in front of the main hall.

At this moment, Liu Xie's hands trembled slightly even with excitement, as if he saw those great ancestors of the Liu family, showing him an approving smile in the air......

………………………………

Fei Qian watched Liu Xie like the giant panda of the national treasure in later generations, surrounded by everyone in front of the main hall like a group of stars holding the moon, and those doctors in the palace and some of the children of the scholar clan who heard the news and rushed from the surrounding area came forward to greet him like waves of the sea, so he smiled slightly, and then got up and walked out.

“…… After a while, if His Majesty is a little tired, he will go in and say that the auspicious time has passed, and let them all stop......" Fei Qian whispered as he walked forward. Perhaps Liu Xie also felt that it was rare to have such an opportunity to have a discussion with these children of the scholar clan at the grassroots level, so of course he couldn't disturb Liu Xie's excitement now......

Fei Qian walked outside the main hall square, but met Jia Xu around the corner.

“…… Congratulations to the prince......" Jia Xu arched his hand towards Fei Qian and whispered.

Fei Qian raised his eyebrows, then beckoned, motioned for Jia Xu to follow, and then said: "What is not congratulating, what is not congratulating, what is to be congratulated is to congratulate Your Majesty......"

Jia Xu arched his hand and said meaningfully: "The prince also saw it, there are so many people in front of His Majesty...... Xu's body is thin, where can I squeeze in......"

Fei Qian also laughed: "Then do you want Zichu to send two guards to help you open a road?" ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but Xu still feels more comfortable on Junhou's side......" Jia Xu smiled, "...... Aren't you afraid that there will be too many people in front of Your Majesty......"

The corners of Fei Qian's mouth curled slightly, and said: "If you want to go, you will naturally go, even if you don't let it, you will still go, so what is there to worry about?" What's more, His Majesty does need some people around him now......"

Could it be that the royalists could be stopped by Fei Qian? Even in Cao Cao's strict defense, isn't it still a succession of successive generations? Therefore, it is better to push Liu Xie to the front, attract everyone's attention, and stand in the dark, so that you can see the surroundings more clearly.

What's more, does Liu Xie now have the ability to distinguish the so-called talents? Can these so-called talents really be given rights and status? Even if it is a new general of the Che Cavalry, it means that he can compete with Yuan Benchu on a par with each other?

Except for the false name, Liu Xie now has nothing in his hands. It's like the joke of later generations, a stone fell from a high-rise building, smashed five people, four chairmen, and the remaining one was the general manager, and the so-called talents who were attracted by a bunch of false names in the past can be regarded as talents?

“…… Hearing this, Jia Xu turned his eyes to the left, turned to the right, turned his head slightly, looked at the situation in the hall, and suddenly said, "The prince wants to send His Majesty to Luoyang?" ”

Fei Qian stopped, paused for a moment, and said, "...... What does Wenhe think? ”

It is naturally beneficial to keep Liu Xie, but after all, Liu Xie is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-old child, his heart is undecided, and his experience is still shallow, so whether it is according to the experience of later generations or the current situation, there is such a top boss, and it is not very fun to guarantee when there will be some moths. But I didn't expect to be speculated by Jia Xu.

However, since Jia Xu had made it clear that he would not go to Liu Xie's side, there was no need for Fei Qian to cover up with Jia Xu, so he directly asked Jia Xu for his opinion on this arrangement.

"The prince is really ......" Jia Xu didn't expect Fei Qian to admit it directly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand towards Fei Qian and said, "...... Hey, thank you...... This, if the prince wants to do this, he might as well add another fire ......"
