"Almost, let's get out."

Zhao Hui counted the time, and after about an hour, he returned to the front hall with Guo Jia and Xu Shu.

Dian Wei and Zhao Yun also came to Zhao Hui's side.

The banquet was very lively, even if there were many people like Zhang Lian who didn't know how to eat, but there were more people talking and enjoying the food in front of them.

Their mouths were full of oil, the chopsticks in their hands never stopped, and they didn't know how much their stomachs could swallow.

Seeing Zhao Hui appear, he finally suppressed his voice one by one, and the chopsticks in his hand were also put on the table, he looked at Zhao Hui and waited for Zhao Hui to announce.

Zhang Lian gave Chen Liang, Li Bing and others a look.

When everyone was quiet, Zhao Hui said, "Everyone should have eaten and drunk enough, I'm glad I haven't seen a single drunk yet." Next, I would like to declare that today is the second most important thing for me, but the first important thing for you. ”

"Starting next year, the imperial examination will be held in Youzhou."

Someone immediately couldn't help but ask; "Lord Zhou Mu, what is the imperial examination?"

With just four words, everyone doesn't understand what it means and what it has to do with them.

"What is the Imperial Examination? To put it simply, it is to select capable and talented people through the imperial examination. Starting next year, all official officials will have to pass the imperial examination before they can be appointed. ”

Zhao Hui said it very bluntly, and everyone heard it clearly and understood.

Those who reacted quickly all changed their faces drastically, and immediately understood that the imperial examination system would bring a huge blow to the family.

And those who were slow to respond still felt that there was nothing, but they just changed the inspection to the imperial examination.

At the beginning, it was also for the purpose of selecting talents from all over the world that the Han Dynasty introduced the probation system.

But after all, it only depends on the inspection and recommendation of Taishou in various places, and the disadvantages are still too great.

When the probationary system first came out, it was indeed able to recruit a lot of talents for the imperial court.

But after a long time, it immediately turned sour.

The people who are nominated are all their own relatives and friends.

Even if the Han Dynasty later introduced the Three Mutual Laws, local people could not hold positions above the Taishou in the local area, nor could they go to the place where their in-laws were located to serve as Taishou.

And when Taishou was recommended by the inspection, he could only choose local people.

I thought that in this way, I could restrict these people who were too conservative to promote themselves.

However, although they can't nominate their own people, these Taishou can nominate each other's family members.

It's all an exchange of favors and interests.

People who have no background and no capital want to be selected, and it is basically impossible.

Unless his local fame is so big that Taishou can't ignore it.

Those who can't find a relationship and want to be selected as filial piety can only make a fuss from filial piety.

In order to be famous, many people have to pretend to be a father and son in front of outsiders.

He even said that he built a grass hut next to his parents' graves.

Just to seek a filial name, only to become filial piety, they can be promoted.

The quick reaction already thought that Zhao Hui was vicious and wanted to dig up their roots.

Zhao Hui wants to replace the original inspection with the imperial examination, so it will not be so easy for them to make their clansmen officials.

It's okay for the little officials to say a little, but whether those serious official positions and the children of the clan can be in the clan or not, their family can't control it at all.

Completely by virtue of strength, how many people in their clan can be admitted.

The heads of various families here have a base in their hearts.

Although there is no shortage of talents in various families, most of them still do not know anything.

Zhang Lian was also the first to react.

"State pastor, the Han Dynasty has been mainly based on inspection for hundreds of years, and now it is suddenly replaced by the imperial examination, will it not be good? For such a big matter, do you have to ask the emperor for instructions first? ”

Zhang Lian directly moved the emperor out.

Now there are more than 100 counties in Youzhou, and five county commanders are from the Zhang family, and there are also twenty or thirty county governors. There are also two lieutenants in the county.

Because of the Three Mutual Laws, the person who served as the Taishou before the Zhang family was not in Youzhou.

And the Zhang family's little officials in the yamen are even more countless.

If it is replaced by the imperial examination, how many county orders can the Zhang family issue in the future, can there still be county captains?

Although I don't know what the imperial examination will be.

But even if the questions are based on the normal Four Books and Five Classics, Zhang Lian also knows very well that few of their Zhang family can be admitted.

Could it be that in the future, there will be only one county order for the entire Zhang family?

How can a county order support a family.

Zhang Lian hated Zhao Hui's desperate plan in his heart.

But in the face, he didn't dare to show it, so he could only pull out the name of the emperor to suppress Zhao Hui.

Zhao Hui squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Lian's gaze, which was no longer hiding his murderous aura.

The first few times the family was suppressed, and the Zhang family hid.

But this time, Zhao Hui is bound to use the Zhang family to pay homage to the monkey.

Guo Jiadao: "If today's son is in trouble and the government decree is not passed, as courtiers, it is through the imperial examination that talents are selected to serve the country and relieve the worries of the Son of Heaven." If the Son of Heaven learns that my Youzhou selects talents through the imperial examination, he will definitely agree with it and promote it to the thirteen states of my Han Dynasty. ”

Zhang Liandao: "I think this matter is still inappropriate, my Han Dynasty has been mainly based on inspection for hundreds of years, and has never made mistakes, and has selected countless talents for the imperial court, if it is suddenly replaced, I am afraid it will cause many riots." ”

Guo Jiadao: "In the imperial examination, everything is fair, just and open, everyone speaks with their own talents, as long as they have talents, they will have a chance." How could it cause a riot, the head of the Zhang family was too worried. ”

Zhang Lian temporarily retreated, and he didn't dare to go to the end with Zhao Huigang alone.

It's just that when he retreated, he glanced at Chen Liang and Li Bing again and again.

Li Bing pretended not to see it.

But Chen Liang still stood up.

"Lord Zhou Mu, I don't know what other rules there are for this imperial examination, and what is the content of the examination? Although many people are talented and learned, but they have bad conduct, can such people also be admitted? ”

Although it was Zhao Hui who asked, Zhao Hui did not answer, but Guo Jia replied: "The content of the imperial examination is divided into liberal arts, martial arts and mathematics, and each subject has a full score of 100 points, and the top 100 or 200 people are selected, which is determined by the number of vacancies in that year." ”

Zhao Hui said: "The specific content will be posted to the city gate later, and everyone can see it in the next issue of Youzhou Citizen's Daily, if there are no other problems, please continue to drink, today is my wedding day, be sure to return happy." ”

Zhang Liandao: "Lord Zhou Mu, the matter of the imperial examination ......"

"I didn't expect that the banquet was only halfway through, and the head of the Zhang family was already drunk, so I came and sent the head of the Zhang family back to rest." Zhao Hui directly interrupted what Zhang Lian was about to say.

Zhang Lian didn't expect Zhao Hui to give him so little face, and said angrily: "Zhao Hui, you are a yellow-mouthed child, you think that if you get a imperial examination, you can do whatever you want in Youzhou?" ”

Zhang Lian's voice became smaller and smaller, and he was directly taken out by the guards who came in and thrown on the street outside the state governor's mansion.
