Chapter 990: An Omen of Party Strife

After the dispersal of the dynasty, it was close to noon, and the three-day court meeting ended, and if the civil and military ministers did not have urgent official duties, they could no longer go to their subordinate offices to perform duties and could return home to rest.

The ministers came out in official uniforms, in groups of three or five, talking and talking while walking, and some muttered quietly.

When they left the Jinshui Bridge and left the palace, some close ministers walked together, invited each other to a banquet in their homes, and chatted about official affairs or current affairs by the way.

"Lord Liu, slow down!" Dugu Jixun came over and came to him with a smile,

Liu Huaien is the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, and his cousin Liu Shu is a concubine of the previous dynasty, and he has been favored by Emperor Wen, becoming a servant and a servant of the Yellow Gate, and he is very powerful in the central department, so the power of the Hedong Liuvalve reached a new peak at the end of Emperor Wen of Sui, and then Liu Shu and Yuan Yan and others supported the crown prince Yang Yong, attempted to mutiny, and finally failed. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, the Liu Valve and the Yuan Valve were suppressed during the Great Cause years, so the power was weakened a lot, but the foundation was very large, and some side clans were not eradicated, and at the end of the Great Cause, some people continued to enter the court to serve as the third or fourth rank official.

He asked politely: "Lord Dugu, what's the matter with calling Liu?" ”

Dugu Jixun smiled slightly, lowered his voice and said: "It's been a long time since I've gotten together for a drink, so it's better to go to the cold house, let's sit with Master Pei, Lord Dou, Lord Chai, etc." ”

Liu Huaien nodded, he and Dugu Jixun and others were very close in private, they all belonged to the gate valve forces, but they had declined, so they were eager to keep warm, if they didn't unite together, they felt that their status in the court would be lower and lower, and in the end, it would be difficult for the family to have influence, so it would really decline.

Especially today, the new imperial examination system is announced, once it is reconsidered by Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, it will basically be distributed to all localities and begin to be implemented.

At this time, it is time to gather together and form an interest group to squeeze and block the cold door. It is likely that most of the officials who are from noble and gate lords will be very concerned about this matter, and they will look for countermeasures when they go back.

"Well, I haven't been together for a few days, so it's time for a drink." Liu Huaien stroked his beard and replied with a smile, and their eyes touched each other, understanding each other's deep meaning.

At the same time, Pei Yong, Dou Shanjia, Chai Derong and others came over, said hello, and then walked to the sedan chair they were riding in and went in the same direction.

On the other hand, Yao Silian, Lu Deming, Xue Shui and others also got together, and they made an appointment to go back to the mansion for a small gathering, meeting friends with texts, and making tea for pleasure.

In fact, the purpose is also obvious, these generations have been Confucianism of the family, Confucianism is highly respected, research infiltration, learning that the new imperial examination system, Confucianism as the main content, is still very excited, and the number of Jinshi has been expanded, which is of great benefit to the imperial examination of the poor scholars.

After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was too difficult for the scholars of the Han family to enter the official career, and Confucianism was also suppressed, because in this chaotic era after the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Hu people dominated the northern land, fought against each other, ethics and morality, social trust, etc. were seriously lacking.

This is the "Taoism" ideology that they abide by when they study Confucianism, and their hatred of the social world, so they hope to break the monopoly of the Wuxun Group and give more opportunities to scholars from poor families all over the world.

Lu Deming sighed: "The reason why Emperor Wen has this temple name is because he abandoned the Jiupin Zhengzhong system, opened the imperial examination for the first time, and vigorously advocated culture and Confucianism, in an attempt to reverse the bad chaos of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and get the temple name of 'Wen'!" ”

Xue Shui nodded and agreed: "Yes, to Emperor Yang, in the second year of the great cause, he took the Jinshi Branch, although there was more progress, but unfortunately, the number of people was too small, at most only ten people, and the Zhongjin Shike was still from the aristocratic children of the scholars, and the world's poor scholars still did not get a greater opportunity, maybe in a few years, they would let go of the Hanmen to take scholars, but it is a pity that Emperor Yang of Sui later made great achievements, was extremely poor and extravagant, and the three expeditions to Goryeo did not pay attention to government affairs, which made the people miserable, the world was divided, and the Great Sui Dynasty also collapsed, and the imperial examination was not promoted after all!" ”

Yao Silian walked side by side with the two ministers, with a relieved expression on his face, nodded and said: "Now it's okay, Your Majesty has a long-term vision, far-sighted, and seems to be very interested in the Hanmen, this is a good opportunity, I have to promote this matter, open the career path of the Hanmen scholars, and if the scholars are really pulled up, the status of the scholars and doctors will continue to improve in the future, and reading will be valued, and the works of Confucianism and sages can be widely disseminated......

"The day of my generation of scholars can be expected!"

Several Hanlin Qingliu and Chinese ministers of the court walked together, got into a palanquin and returned home.

Seeing this situation, Wang Qi, the superintendent of the Imperial History Inspectorate, sank, walked quickly to the front of Wei Zheng, the imperial historian, and arched his hand: "Lord Wei, the situation is not good!" ”

Wei Zheng frowned, he knew that Wang Jue was a person, upright, full of history books, and would never be a person without a target, hearing him say this, he guessed that something might have been discovered by him, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Hello Lord Wei, the ministers from the Wuxun Gate are walking more and more compactly today, and the Hanlin Qingliu and the scholars are also holding together, as if forming a sign of party contention, the blessing of the real society!" Wang Jue said with a little worry.

Wei Zheng also felt cold when he heard this, party strife has always been taboo in all dynasties, for the people of this era, the most impressive thing in history is the "disaster of the party" at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the Eastern Han Dynasty Emperor Huan, Emperor Lingdi has two disasters of the party, both of which are eunuchs in order to oppress the scholars who oppose them, impose all kinds of trumped-up charges on them, and finally make those people of insight ruined.

The first time occurred during the reign of Emperor Huan, during this period, although Chen Fan and other celebrities were framed by eunuchs and removed from their official positions, there was no large-scale bloodshed, and the impact was not particularly large. In the second disaster of the party, the celebrities were directly persecuted and died, and their families and friends were all connected, and they could not escape the scourge of extermination. These two disasters directly caused the political turmoil of the Eastern Han Dynasty and accelerated the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Wei Zheng pondered for a while and said: "It should be the new system of the imperial examination, which has aroused the attention of the Hanlin Qingliu and the literati class, and also inspired the jealousy of the Wuxun elite group, but at the beginning of this matter, it is difficult to say what the imperial examination will look like in the end. However, friends will inevitably confuse the main listener with partiality, and they must attach great importance to it, and when they see Your Majesty, they will also advise them in advance and persuade Your Majesty to pay attention to them. ”

"That's right!" Wang Qi saw that the imperial historian Wei Zheng listened to it and attached great importance to it, so he let go of some worries.
