No recommendation is required to register for the imperial examination.

Without the recommendation of local or central officials, they can sign up and take the examination, and after passing the extremely high-level examination and the relatively tragic system of dethronement, they can select the best officials who are suitable for becoming officials.

The examination was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and Xu Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, served as the chief examiner to prepare for the first imperial examination next year, that is, the eighth year of Yande.

First, the rules adopted the old system of the ceremony held in Yecheng that year, and the start time of the imperial examination was set on the first day of March every year, that is, when the spring flowers bloomed.

You can start preparing now.

When the dust settled, the emperor, with absolute power and prestige, forcibly passed the order to abolish the imperial examination.

This time, the emperor did not make any compromises with anyone, and any demands were strictly required by the emperor to be passed, and promulgated throughout the country, and implemented by the people.

Da Chaohui disbanded the meeting, and the inexplicably excited group of Li Shu officials, the extremely depressed atmosphere of the scholar bureaucracy, and the group of poor officials in the middle left separately.

Each of them has his own thoughts, each has his own thoughts, each has his own thinking and preparation.

The core decision-making layer was retained.

Including the heads of the major government offices and their deputies, as well as the nine scholars, as well as Kong Xian, who is not among them, and Jia Kui.

These people constitute the core decision-making level of the Wei Empire, and the experienced decision-making brains are all the best among the people.

In the face of their emotions, Guo Peng appeased.

"This time through the resolution of the imperial examination, your contribution is crucial, you stabilize the court situation for me, stabilize the government, meritorious, meritorious heroes, you can choose your second son, Yin Feng into the office, no need to participate in the imperial examination."

The elites in the decision-making circle looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, the emperor left a gap for these high-ranking officials, so that they could enjoy the privilege arrangement with confidence, so as to draw a line with those unlucky people.

After the stormy blows of His Majesty the Emperor, they were not willing to accept His Majesty's iron fist again.

Therefore, no matter how much dissatisfaction they have in their hearts, they must endure it, and they must also suppress their emotions and not let their emotions get out of control.

But for now, His Majesty the Emperor seems to intend to leave a path for them, even if they are under the imperial examination system, so that they can walk better and more smoothly.

After experiencing the iron fist, this jujube is so sweet, so attractive, and so beautiful.

For Guo, it doesn't matter if he gives up this little bit of interest.

Because once the imperial examination has formed a scale and has become the "right path" for officials like Xiaolian, a chain of contempt between officials will naturally form.

Only those who take the road of scientific research are the best officials, and those who can take on great responsibilities are the officials who can take on great responsibilities, and those who take the road of shady closure are useless officials.

In officialdom, some unspoken rules and other rules will be formed spontaneously.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, only the top three and the few lucky ones in the election year can become the Jiji.

And if you want to enter the cabinet in the future and become a cabinet elder, you must be from a scholar's background, otherwise you will not be able to enter the cabinet.

Naturally, the top three or second leaders with the best scientific examination results over the years have naturally formed a kind of "education first" argument.

You must do well in the exam in order to reach the peak of Renchen.

Therefore, everything is inferior, and only a social consensus such as high reading can be formed and continued.

In such an environment, can you, the remnants of the scholarly era, still make any waves?

As long as Guo is slightly guided, and the top three first-class and second-class top ten in the imperial examination over the years are used, soon, the atmosphere of the supremacy of the imperial examination and the supremacy of academic qualifications can be formed, and the glory and bloodline theory of the scholars will soon be thrown into the dust.

The chain of contempt for scientific examination results between officials can despise you to death.

The county magistrate might as well be in charge now!

In the era of big scientific expeditions, even if your father is the chief assistant of the cabinet, a supreme minister, and above 10,000 people under one person, if you yourself have no fame and are not a gentleman, then don't want to enter the cabinet, don't want to be recognized and accepted by the scientific expedition officials with regular backgrounds, and don't want to hold the highest authority.

You will be despised all the time.

This is the best thing about the imperial examination compared to the inspection examination.

Even if it is rigid, even if it engages in nepotism, even if it is unreasonable, its fairness is far from being comparable.

Bloodline can be inherited, but test scores cannot be inherited.

Guo wants to run the imperial examination system, protect it, take care of it, let it grow as soon as possible, and promote the wave of reading to change destiny in the whole society.

Bind studying, exams and being an official to form a one-stop chain, so that the low-level Li Shu can also pass the exam and enter the officialdom, so as to change his fate.

Large-scale promotion of such a trend of thought in order to completely change the atmosphere of the Chaju era and sweep away the soil on which the scholars relied for their development.

So at the moment, the only thing that is lacking is the "advent of the printing technology" that has matured.

However, before the advent of printing, Guo also needed these top elites who had been co-opted and controlled in the center to do something for him, so that he could clean up the people who were about to move in those places.

So slowly, for the time being, I will not come up with the results of printing, so that these elites can rest assured a little.

Let them realize that without printing, the speed of cultural transmission is still too slow to rely on manual copying, and it is difficult for the Shu people to rely on the numerical advantage to crush the existence of scholars.

So when the time comes, even if the imperial court implements the imperial examination, the scholars still have an absolute advantage.

This situation will not be changed for a while.

Hold steady for a while, don't let them be too nervous, and let them themselves accept and get used to the existence of the imperial examination.

As long as the scholars can continue to hold the authority, what the scholars want to do after Guo dies in the future is still very simple.

Relying on such psychological advantages, these people can continue to use and continue to shine, until the imperial examination system can cultivate the first batch of talents who really come from the bottom.

After that, Guo began to deal with the belated local backlash.

Among the local county guards, there were some voices that were clearly opposed to the imperial examination system.

Without exception, they all believe that the imperial examination system cannot replace the probationary system, otherwise it will shake the people's will.

The hearts of the people.

In this regard, Guo selected a group of their replacements from among some outstanding county magistrates and outstanding cabinet officials.

Without exception, they are all children of the poor family and Li Shu.

The first Li Shu disciple who held the position of 2,000 stone county guards was also born.

His name is Wang Chao, a native of Yuzhou, who previously served as the county magistrate of Lantian County, Jingzhao Yin, Yongzhou.

Soon, the county guards of Hedong County, Henan Yin, and Hongnong County around Luoyang were first ordered to be removed from their posts by Guo Peng.

So Wang Chao was directly appointed by Guo Peng's Ministry of Officials as the Taishou of Hongnong County, becoming the first 2,000-stone county guard ever born with mud legs.

There is basically no voice of discussion between the DPRK and China about this.

I'm scared.

Then, the county guards of more than ten counties, including Yingchuan County in Yanzhou, Nanyang County and Nanjun in Jingzhou, Guangling County in Xuzhou, and Donghai County in Qingzhou, were directly replaced by Guo.

Replaced with a small number of scholars, and a large number of Hanmen and Li Shu.

This wave of replacements was replaced by five Li Shu children from Li Shu families, and their average age was over forty years old-

There is no way, they started late, they all followed the development of Guo someone, and they went back and forth in the village and township for seven or eight years, and stayed in Taixue for two or three years, until Guo thought that they had opened a channel for rising.

They were able to become two thousand stone guards at this age, and they had already made history.

However, with the precedent of Li Shu officials entering various departments of the central court in a big way, even if they held two thousand stones, no one could say no.

Being able to express opposition and protest in their hearts has been the greatest courage of the soldiers who have undergone severe repression.

The vast majority of the county-level government under the jurisdiction of the county level are poor officials and Li Shu officials, and the county taishou does not hold other powers except administrative power.

Therefore, the personnel changes at the county level did not shake the administrative foundation of the Wei Empire at all, and they were removed smoothly without making any waves.

Of course, they don't want to learn from those predecessors in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The reaction of the state-level feudal officials is what Guo attaches relative importance to.

And among the state-level officials, Guo naturally has a basic plan.

For example, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Guo Rui, Mozhou Thorn Shi Xiahou Dun, Yizhou Thorn Shi Manzhong, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Mi Zhu, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Hao, etc., these are all absolutely not going to sit crookedly.

Therefore, they also expressed their support for the imperial examination system to replace the probation system for the first time.

Then there is the group of scholars who are the former officials of the Guo family, the Liangzhou Thorn Shi Mao Jue personally promoted by Guo Someone, the Yongzhou Thorn Shi Chen Gong, the Pingzhou Thorn Shi Lu Su, the Yangzhou Thorn Shi Gu Yong and so on.

Although they are former officials of the Guo family, they also have the status of scholars, and Guo will not find it strange if they oppose such a proposal.

They will only think that their political consciousness is not high enough to continue to shoulder heavy responsibilities.

They all seemed to understand the emperor's heart, so they did not disappoint Guo, and chose to support the county guards when they opposed the operation of the imperial examination system.

For their group of high-ranking officials, the fear of losing their current vested interests is the main psychology, and other thoughts must be secondary.

It was not easy to win such a high position in the Guo Wei regime and gain power, but it was not worth it to lose it because of the disobedience with the emperor.

That being said, losing the advantage of being a scholar is also a major concern.

So they finally chose to support the emperor - after all, power and status are the most important, without power and status, only the status of a scholar may not be a benefit.

Of course, what is more important is that their power is also incomplete, and they can do less than the group of scholars in Luoyang who can threaten the emperor with a strike and a school strike.

Like the hesitant county guards, they should be glad for their hesitation and their eventual support.

Because soon, Guo dispatched the Luoyang Forbidden Army to wipe out more than 5,000 troublemakers all over the world.

Frightened a lot of people.

O more than 5,000 men!

The emperor really ......

The black-armored forbidden army directly under the emperor, tempered by five thousand blood and fire, was directly dispatched, and the guards directly blocked all the city gates, fang gates and streets of the entire Luoyang.

It is said that on that day, the black-armored forbidden army chased those scholars all over Luoyang City, and when they caught up, they beat and beat to the death, and it is said that this wave killed many scholars.

Whether it is an official or a student.

After Guo's three ultimatums, the 5,000 scholars who still protested were wiped out by Guo.

Together with their families and clansmen, the number of people who were finally implicated exceeded 30,000, close to 40,000, and all of them were beaten as criminals by Guo.

Either they were sent to the frontier, sent to work on the construction site, or killed.

They have lost their status as scholars, lost their original household registration, and they are not allowed to be officials and have to implicate their family members, and those who are lucky enough not to be assigned to the frontier are also implicated, and they are not allowed to be officials, so they can only see whether the next generation is angry.

Guo completely tore up the political contract with the scholars.

He selected and recruited more than 2,000 Li Shu officials from the local government to enter Luoyang to fill the vacancy of those scholars in Luoyang City, and did not cause a political rebellion in Luoyang or even the entire Wei State.

It is only at this moment that many people have just woken up from a dream.

Together with the scholars in Luoyang City, they realized that His Majesty the Emperor was not only an emperor, but also a warrior who had been trained in battle.

He is extremely powerful, and he is a dictator who can be said to be unequivocal.

There are a lot of things he doesn't want to, it's not that he can't.

For example, using force to suppress the disturbances of the scholars, this is what he did not want to do, but it is not impossible.

The scholars violated his bottom line, shook his authority and position, and he felt that he was being challenged and in danger, so he wanted to use unprecedented cruel and cruel means, even at the expense of persecuting more than 30,000 people, in order to warn the people of the world-

Don't try to snoop on my bottom line.
