"Ladies and gentlemen, this filial piety refers to filial piety, which embodies the word 'filial piety'. Filial piety is the first of all kinds'. From the pre-Qin to the Han Dynasty, they all advocated 'ruling the world with filial piety', and filial piety became the basic norm and code of conduct for people to be a man and an official.

"High! I really can't imagine that there are many rules and regulations for this official, if it weren't for the detailed words of the king of heaven, we would know three or four, but we would never know the gift of omniscience! Cai Yong said: "But I don't know how Feilu selects talents in this imperial examination?" ”
"I won't hide it from you, with all due respect, I think that since the Han Dynasty, most of the officials selected have been selected from the children of high-ranking elites from all over the world. The children of the powerful can be officials, regardless of their merits. In this way, it has also created a situation in which the family in the officialdom is monopolized. Of course, I don't rule out that there are truly talented scholars among the children of these powerful people, but this king can unceremoniously say that there are truly talented scholars, but they are only a few! ”
"What the heron said is very true! Lao Yu once mentioned it to people back then, but it didn't attract enough attention. Many people from humble backgrounds but with real talent and real learning are not reused for life, and most incompetent people are in high positions, I have to say that this is a big drawback, which is really unpopular! It is precisely because of this that I heard that you are holding the imperial examination, and the old man is curious to come here, and he wants to see what kind of grand occasion it is to select talents regardless of poverty! Zheng Xuan nodded, and he was deeply touched by his family.
"That's why we have to be eclectic and talented! In the Han Dynasty, the reporting system was implemented, and people with both ability and political integrity were recommended by localities at all levels. Those elected by the state are called Xiucai, and those elected by the county are called filial piety. The probation system lacked objective selection criteria, and although there was a system of joint sitting, the phenomenon of local officials favoritism and false recommendations gradually appeared in the later period, and this was also the cause of favoritism and irregularities in officialdom. Ladies and gentlemen, is it enough to select officials only to be filial piety, virtuous, virtuous, virtuous, clean, resolute and upright, and so on? Could it be that a filial son, or a virtuous, righteous and ethical person can govern a state and county? ”
"What do you mean?" As if he understood what Zhang Zhen was referring to, Huangfu Song asked.
Zhang Zhen was full of confidence and witty words: "The governance of one side is not based on filial piety, but on the first choice of literature and wisdom, and filial piety is supplemented." For example, a reckless man like Dian Wei under my command, but he is filial piety and is known to the world, if he does not know martial arts, but he is promoted to filial piety and honesty, and he becomes an official in the court, even if it is only for one county order, how can he do it? ”
"Got it! Feilu, what do you mean is that an official must have real talent and real learning, so that he can hold the position, but this is the truth? Zheng Xuan also understood a little, this is exactly what he thought in his early years, if this is the case, it is not a pioneering feat for the country and the people.
"The teacher is only half right." Zhang Zhen said with a smile.
"Oh? Halfway? But I don't know what the other half is. Zheng Xuanqi said. Isn't that more than that?
"Teachers, talented but not virtuous, are often more terrible than those without virtue and talent." Zhang Zhen explained softly: "Those who are virtuous and talentless are just misguided and misguided by the country, even if they have no achievements, they will not poison the country and harm the people." However, these talented and unvirtuous people often harm one party, or even a country! This person who has no virtue and no talent is like a tiger that hurts people, and has the advantage of minions, but the talented and unvirtuous person has added wisdom like a person, isn't it terrible? ”
"The Egret is far-reaching and thought-provoking. The words are concise and clear, but they contain deep principles of governing the world, admire! Zhu Jun next to him was very moved after hearing this, and praised him sincerely.
"Where, everyone's false praise, I dare not take it!" Zhang Zhen said politely: "Yes, I set the exam question as 'strong country', so that I can play freely in many ways." This, people have lies, fake filial piety, and fake virtues, so they can learn, but they can't come to the fakes. In addition, I have left a few and invited teachers to come, because I want to help you learn the arts, observe the character of the child, and take the virtuous and talented people as officials, so that the officialdom can be clean and clear! ”
Zheng Xuan said with emotion: "In this way, it is really a move to benefit the people and strengthen the country, although the old man has no intention of being an official, but such a move, the old man cannot but support it!" There is still some fame for the teacher, Feilu, you can let it go, if the family obstructs it, the reputation of the teacher is still somewhat useful! In the world, the troubled times have become a success, for the teacher is old, and I don't want to be displaced anymore, after this imperial examination, the teacher will not return to Xuzhou, your Yecheng is now considered to be peaceful, and the teacher plans to enjoy your old age here, and it is good to see the rise of this imperial examination! ”
