Chapter 111: The Imperial Examination and the Gate Valve
These princesses who grew up in the palace will probably not have contact with people outside the palace until they get married, and they can't be compared with the prince at all.
"I only know one, Qin Huaidao, when I was a child, he was a military attache in the palace as a military attache of Qianniuwei, and I met him a few times."
Qin Huaidao, as soon as Princess Yiyang said it at this time, Chen Fang remembered that there seemed to be such a person in the roster, he took the roster yesterday, and he didn't look at it carefully, but just took a cursory look, and those who didn't know him didn't read it.
I didn't expect this person to be on this roster.
Qin Huaidao himself is really not famous, and he doesn't do much as an official, except for doing a thousand bulls, he later did an official position from six to seven grades.
In the Tang Dynasty, especially in Chang'an, a place where royal relatives and nobles, princes and nobles, and civil and military officials are concentrated, Qin Huaidao's official position is really not worth mentioning.
However, his father is by no means ordinary, his father is the famous Hu Guogong Qin Qiong Qin Shubao, and there is also a portrait of his father in Lingyan Pavilion. He is a meritorious nobleman who founded the country by Li Tang, and he is also a generation of famous generals in Chinese history.
One of the door gods who pasted the door of the courtyard in later generations was Qin Qiong.
At this time, he took the roster from Princess Yiyang, opened it and checked it, and sure enough, there was Qin Huaidao among them.
I didn't take a closer look yesterday, but when I saw it at this time, Chen Fang sighed a little, and I didn't know how this prince could get mixed up so badly.
You must know that Qin Qiong is an official to the Supreme Pillar Kingdom, the right three commanders of the Qin Palace, the left general of Wuwei, and the Duke of Yiguo.
After his death, he was buried with Zhaoling, posthumously presented to the governor of Xuzhou, and later changed the title of Hu Guogong.
Qin Qiong is already a supreme minister, but his son Qin Huaidao is really a little miserable.
It's okay to be a Qianniu guard, after all, it is His Majesty's personal guard, and he can be a county commander in the local army, so he is really 108,000 miles away from his father.
According to the urine nature of several emperors in the early days of Li Tang, as long as Qin Huaidao is not too unbearable, he will not be able to achieve such an official position, after all, after being the founding father, Li Tang will treat these people absolutely kindly.
In the history of China, the Tang Dynasty was definitely the best era after the founding fathers, but Qin Huaidao...
At this time, there was Qin Huaidao in the book, and Chen Fang could guess why he appeared in it.
It seems that the Ministry of Officials attaches great importance to the election of officials in the Tang Workshop this time, and His Majesty attaches so much importance to the Tang Workshop, so it is natural to come here as an official and an official, which is very beneficial to the future career.
How can Qin Huaidao say that after Hu Guogong, he naturally had a lot of contacts in the court, and if there was a fat shortage, he naturally walked around a little, and he was written in the book by the officials.
This must be, before Chen Fang crossed, he also went to the tomb of Qin Qiong near Zhaoling, of course, the incense is not particularly prosperous, and there is no stone man and stone horse ordered by the Tang Emperor for a long time. However, to be able to accompany the burial of Zhaoling, you can see how the emperor valued Qin Qiong.
Qin Huaidao wants to come first, after all, it is big, it really doesn't suit his own wishes, and then he can replace it.
The two highnesses only know Qin Huaidao, and Chen Fang does not stay here for a long time, Gao An Chen Fang does not want to see it at all, Yiyang does not dare to see more, it is better to stay away from the two highnesses.
When I got out of the courtyard, I saw Meng Fei waiting outside the courtyard.
"I heard that the adults are here, and Meng Fei has just been busy with some things, so he came!"
"It's okay, you're busy, I'm just looking for two highnesses to ask about something."
"Did you ask?"
Chen Fang shook his head, a little depressed, at this time he was already thinking about who to ask again, who else could know the people he knew. The worst thing to do is to ask someone from the ministry.
In fact, Chen Fang already had some guesses about the identities of these people, just waiting for proof.
Seeing that Chen Fang shook his head and continued to walk outside, Meng Fei accompanied Chen Fang for a few steps.
"If the Lord didn't ask, Meng Fei would dare to know what the Lord asked the two Highnesses!"
"It's not a big deal, you're the actual director of the workshop at this time, and you have the right to know about it."
Chen Fang took the booklet out of his bosom and handed it to Meng Fei.
Meng Fei opened it, looked at the names one by one, nodded and shook his head frequently.
"They are all descendants of some powerful people in Chang'an City, and these seem to be candidates for the imperial examination the year before last, but they are not familiar with them."
The Sui and Tang dynasties were a period at the beginning of the imperial examination system in China, and from the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, there was a imperial examination system, and the imperial court discovered and appointed talents through the imperial examination.
Before the Sui Dynasty, all generations of Huaxia from the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty have been using the method of recommendation to select officials, which also created a special system in this period, the scholar gate valve system.
Some local noble clans controlled various places to recommend this path, and naturally there were more officials in the imperial court than these noble clans.
The state selects officials only based on their family backgrounds, and the clan monopolizes important official positions in the government. Then, through the marriage of the great clans, this formed a class of gate lords.
The so-called non-intermarriage of scholars is one of the most important manifestations of family marriage. shows that in ordinary life, it is natural to become a marriage and a good match.
When the gate lord clan was at its strongest, even the people of the clan looked down on the royal relatives of the Shu clan.
In history, the king and the horse in the Eastern Jin Dynasty shared the world, which shows the strength of the scholar family from one side, and the Langya Wang family at that time even exceeded the royal family.
And in this dynasty, when Taizong Shi Shen Guogong Gao Shilian compiled the "Clan Chronicles", according to the old system, the Boling Cui clan was placed before the Li clan in Longxi, Taizong was furious and put the imperial surname first.
These all show the strength of the gate lord clan.
The emergence of the imperial examination system is the heaviest blow to the gate valve system, and the state selects materials more to pay attention to the ability of the officials themselves than to the background of the family, and naturally diverts the power of the traditional in the hands of the scholars.
However, the gate valve system eventually died out, and it was the end of the Tang Dynasty, which means that even at this time, the gate valve system was still strong.
Five surnames and seven hopes, the founding nobles are still the ruling force of the country, and the influence of the scholars on society can be seen everywhere.
Take the harem as an example, which one can achieve the position of four concubines and nine concubines without the support of a huge family. Even many concubines in the harem themselves are from one of the five surnames and seven hopes.
For example, Concubine Jing was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, and she has already become a queen in the original history.
How strong were the five surnames and seven wang in the Tang Dynasty, take the Taiyuan Wang family as an example, Wang Bo, Wang Zhilian, Wang Changling, and Wang Wei were all from the Taiyuan Wang family.
And these people take out one of them at random, they are all famous characters through the ages, and if you say you don't know them, you have always heard the poems they wrote.
Luoxia and lonely birds fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky.
Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate.
In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Great Wall people have not returned.
Persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there is no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west.
Of course, for Chen Fang, these are not important. At this time, Meng Fei looked at the roster and said words, letting Chen Fang know that he was still looking for someone to ask who the people in the roster were, but he didn't know that there were people around him who knew that these people were from families.
