After the investigation, some officials of the inspection team could not bear the pressure.

On the one hand, there is the emperor's high pressure, and on the other hand, there are the pleas and threats of fellow scholars, who are like rats in bellows, angry at both ends and unflattering at both ends.

They could only cry and beg those eunuchs to raise their noble hands, take it away, and then check it out, everyone will be finished.

If this is really investigated, nine out of ten people will have problems, and the remaining one will depend on luck and probability.

I can't afford to hurt it! I really can't afford to hurt it!

So these eunuchs stopped one after another, and then took the bribes handed by the officials into their arms, and announced that they would return to their lives.

Although in the end, the eunuchs still accepted bribes and stopped, and did not kill them all, but the failure rate of three-fifths was quite sensational.

Since Guo's purpose has been achieved, it will not delay the eunuchs to go out to earn extra money once.

Among these three-fifths of the scum, there are all kinds of scum.

Either there are various forms of filial piety.

Or all sorts of sneaky corruption.

Either that, or unworthy talent and fame.

Either they are taking a shortcut and trying to get past the public government re-examination, but the children of the Gaomen clan have limited talents.

Anyway, I can't see a few people who are really virtuous and talented.

At the beginning of August, the list of problematic officers was placed in front of Guo Peng.

At the same time, part of the background information of all the scholars in the Yande period, which was required by Guo Peng to be strictly investigated, has also been partially completed, and it has also been placed on Guo's desk.

Anyway, the problem is quite shocking, citing filial piety and honesty, citing a group of unfilial piety and incorruptibility.

Although he is clear about this system and is well versed in the laws of various operations, when these things are put on the table for Guo Someone, who is the emperor, to review, Guo Someone still can't help but show a mocking smile.

The original intention of the system is absolutely good, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will never want to engage in a group of unfilial piety and incorruptibility.

But the problem is that it is the people who make the system, and it is the people who implement the system.

Thinking about it this way, the imperial examination was not without problems, and later it also led to party disputes in the late Ming Dynasty, and one of the manifestations of party disputes in the late Ming Dynasty was regional disputes.

As early as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were signs of this situation.

Because of the imbalance in economic development, there was an imbalance in the number of students admitted to the north and the south, which led to a big case, forcing Zhu Yuanzhang to kill a group of people, and finally came up with a north-south list to calm the situation.

In the later period, unspoken rules similar to the poison left by protégés and former officials were also introduced, which led to factional disputes between regions.

It is conceivable that there is no perfect system, or that the system is quite perfect and ideal, but when it comes to operation, there will always be problems.

It's not the system that's wrong, it's the people outside the system.

But just as with the choice between peace and troubled times, no matter how false peace is, it is better than real troubled times.

The dead in peacetime are sneaky, and the dead in troubled times are generous.

No matter how problematic the imperial examination is, it is better than a perfect examination.

At least, everyone has to take the exam, at least the coverage is all readers, at least, don't look at the background, don't look at whether your father and grandfather have been high-ranking officials, and the fairness is better.

The imperial examination is not perfect, but after all, it can make the people at the bottom see hope and seize hope, since the Song Dynasty, there are not many poor boys who rely on the imperial examination to change their lives.

The court is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in the Tianzi Hall, and there will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant.

This is a true portrayal of the imperial examination.

It is also the best answer given by people with lofty ideals a thousand years after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted that the princely general Xiangning has a kind of care.

Therefore, in any case, it is imperative to abolish the imperial examination and establish the imperial examination.

On the sixth day of the eighth month of the seventh year of Yande, Guo Peng held a government affairs meeting.

At the meeting, Guo Peng threw a report on this year's filial piety and honesty review report from the investigation team on Xu Jing's face.

"This is the filial piety you chose for Lonely? Right? Why do you think you should add two [no] words, which are called unfilial piety and incorruptibility, right? Well? ”

Guo Peng's yin and yang weird voice made Xu Jing tremble, he knelt on the ground and picked up those reports and looked at them a little, but he was in a cold sweat, and he couldn't speak clearly.

"Your Majesty...... His Majesty...... Your Majesty ......"

"Speak well!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Xu Jing was frightened: "Inspecting and promoting virtuous talents among the people is also risky, the local county guard and assassin are responsible for selecting people, and the minister can only conduct a re-examination in the Ministry of Rites, but the so-called knowing people and knowing faces do not know their hearts, ministers, it is really impossible to ensure that everyone is of excellent moral character......"

"Then it's not like three-fifths of them are unfilial, right?"

Guo Peng squinted his eyes and leaned back in his chair and looked at Xu Jing: "And even if you can't see people's hearts, how is their academic water, Xu Qing, you really can't see it?" Is the public re-examination an ornament? Well? ”

Xu Jing was so frightened that his face turned pale and he couldn't say a word, and the rest of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries didn't dare to say much like quails.

In fact, they really want to say, if they really want to talk about it, this public mansion re-examination is really a decoration.

Like the local inspection, it is all a formality.

As long as you are elected to filial piety, you can be an official, and the public government re-examination does not dethrone anyone, but the position is different from good or bad.

Some people really have the ability and don't need to get the test questions beforehand, so let them go.

Some people are not at home and need the cooperation of the government to retest, so not long after Xu Jing finishes the question, the real question can be sent to that person, and a special person will help him answer, he only needs to memorize it.

This has always been the case.

The emperor has always turned a blind eye, so they don't believe that the emperor who started from filial piety doesn't know what is wrong here.

Everyone has heard a little about how the emperor operated as fierce as a tiger back then, but they don't dare to talk about it now.

To be precise, the scholars in the whole society all know that they are tired of being filial and honest, but they don't say it tacitly.

If you don't say it, we can still be friends, if you say it, who will still be friends with you?

There must have been such a thing in the early years, and now the emperor has asked people to investigate, and the officials who investigated are all in danger.

No one knows when they will find out about themselves, unless those who have not taken the road of filial piety and honesty, the rest of those who join the Wei government after the founding of the People's Republic of China are in danger.

The filial piety and honesty that have joined the Wei government over the years, to say the least, there are 1,800 people, if they are all found out and the problem is solved, where can they be reasonable?

And this question is not simply a matter of whether to get rid of it in one go, this is the emperor's interference with the rights of scholars in a righteous and bright way.

Since the development of Guo Wei's regime, the emperor has reached an agreement with the scholars.

He didn't interfere with the scholars' own system of electing officials, he didn't interfere with the promotion of filial piety, he bypassed the system of promoting filial piety and honesty and made another top-down system by himself, and in exchange, the scholars did not interfere with him.

None of us interferes with anyone, they don't interfere with each other, the well water doesn't interfere with the river water, you take your country road, I take my filial piety, and divide the political resources of the Wei Empire together.

It's as simple as that, Yande also came over like this in the first six years, why did there be a problem this year?

Or is there a problem with the investigation in such a bright and bright way, and why did that bastard of Chen Liujun suddenly come to light?

This kind of thing really has to be said every year, why is it exposed this year?

Why did the emperor, who is well versed in the unspoken rules, suddenly break out this year?

This is not normal.

Sensitive people immediately realized that the emperor had bad intentions.

Some of the previous political fluctuations have been preparing for these issues.

Following the Five Classics and the Fourteen Laws of the Five Classics, the scholars were tossed to death and alive, and punctuation marks were introduced, the emperor actually extended his hand to the realm where the scholars would not back down no matter what.

Probation system.
