Chapter 1051 - Imperial Examination for Scholars and Seeking Virtues for the Country

Luoyang in October.

After the harvest, Luoyang City is busy and lively.

For the people of the Central Plains, the war feels like it is gone. Governments in various places are busy with the storage of autumn grain. The people collected the grain in the field, after paying the land tax grain, the rest was also sold to the official warehouse that came to collect the grain, without playing white slips, and did not need to be transported to the county by themselves.

The money is all Kaiyuan Tongbao, there is no old money, and the silk silk is also of very good quality, there is no such inferior silk silk, and even a little fire consumption is not counted on the people's heads.

The people's enthusiasm for selling grain was very high, and except for the grain and rations left at home, the rest lined up to sell. Everyone's food is also very clean, dried in the sun, blown clean, and there is no dirt and broken leaves.

The pavilion chiefs of each township personally went to the countryside and took the joint defense team members to maintain order.

After the grain is collected in a village and village, after the harvest, the official warehouse will directly hire the local people, and then transport the grain to the township, where it will be transported to the county, and part of the grain will be transferred to the county after the community warehouse and the county official warehouse, and the rest will be transferred to the county, where there are larger righteous warehouses and official warehouses and large transfer warehouses.

At this time, it is also the time for the county soldiers and township warriors to go out, on the roads, in the countryside, in the city, there are county soldiers and township warriors on duty patrolling everywhere, this kind of season, if anyone wants to block the road and rob or steal, it is definitely difficult to escape the law. Once arrested, they will definitely be sentenced to the long-flowing border land.

Luoyang City, Ziwei Palace.

Since the emperor returned to the palace in Chang'an, he has been brewing a major event, frequently summoning the important ministers and elders of the court, and discussing this important event day and night.

100 million years old in the temple.

The government and the court, as well as the three provinces, the six nine temples, the five supervisors, one court, as long as they are substantive officials above the fifth grade, they all listened to the edict and came to discuss the matter today.

"As long as you think you have the ability to be promoted, anyone can take the exam and apply to the local county and county government to apply for the examination, without going through the inspection of the local officials like the two Han Dynasty, nor do you have to go through the evaluation of the Jiupin Zhongzheng as it has been since the Wei and Jin dynasties."

In the palace, the emperor mentioned.

Chen Shuda, the servant of the door, immediately spoke out against it.

"Ministers oppose opening it to anyone, and it should still be restricted, and only scholars should be allowed to participate in the imperial examination."

Hou Mo Chenyi, a Chinese scholar who started with military merits, immediately objected, "Your Majesty wants to promote the imperial examination, is to take scholars for the country, does Chen Shilang think that only scholars are qualified?" ”

After the emperor returned to Luoyang from Chang'an, the major event he brewed was to open the imperial examination and use the imperial examination to admit scholars. But the emperor's imperial examination is different from the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty is held from time to time, although there are many subjects, but the number of admissions is very small, the imperial examination of the Sui Dynasty, in fact, for the country, there is no big impact, a few years to take so many twenty people, what impact can the imperial court have?

Luo Cheng decided to open the imperial examination, and the fundamental reason was that he felt that the power in the court was a little biased. Although he successfully used his military merit group to suppress the old nobles of the old warrior clan.

But what followed was the dominance of the military nobles, and they were all over the government and the opposition, which was already a sign of danger.

In order to be able to stabilize the situation, the emperor decided to introduce the imperial examination system, but not the imperial examination of the Sui Dynasty, but the imperial examination that could bring about real changes.

What is the use of recording one or twenty scholars in three or two years, if you want to record him, you can record him three or five hundred or even thousands a year, so that you can change from the bottom down in all aspects, create a new bureaucratic class for Great Qin, and stabilize the military and aristocratic groups.

It's just that when the emperor put forward this idea, the matter became not simple.

This involves almost every aspect of the interest.

Especially for the military nobles, as nobles, they enjoy many privileges, one of the most important of which is the right to the shadow of the door, and their children can directly become officials by virtue of their official titles. Although there are also some restrictions, such as the rank and title of officials, and the children of these nobles also have to study from the Guozijian first, and then after the age of seventeen or eighteen, the Guozijian graduates and then elects to enter the internal government and the army, according to the rank of their respective fathers, grandfathers, brothers, etc., or enter the Qinwei Mansion or enter the Xunwei Mansion or enter the Yiwei Mansion, etc.

After entering the pro-army, although there is also a direct rank, the pro-guard is generally directly awarded the seventh grade, the eighth rank of the honor guard, and the ninth rank of the Yiwei, but it also has to stay in the pro-army for many years of seniority and perform well, so that it can be selected and released to foreign positions, which can be regarded as a real career in the office.

But in any case, for the nobles, this kind of door shadow system is extremely beneficial to them, unless the children are stupid, even if they are mediocre and ordinary, they can survive with such qualifications.

Why is the Guanlong Group since the Western Wei Dynasty powerful? It is precisely because of this system that these Guanlong nobles, who are themselves nobles, will pass on the title to their children and grandchildren in the future, and at the same time, they may use the door shade system to allow the children of the family to enter the office. In this way, it is ensured that the family will inherit the title from generation to generation, and the dynasty will be an official from generation to generation.

This is monopoly politics, which made the Kwantung clan envious of those years.

And now the emperor wants to fully implement the imperial examination system, which means that in the future, he will pass the examination to select scholars and select state officials, isn't this just moving the cheese of the nobles?

There are so many official positions in the country, one radish and one pit, if people from the imperial examination are allowed to occupy it, then the nobles can occupy fewer pits.

And not only the nobles opposed it, but also those officials of the noble clan, and the reasons for the officials' opposition were actually similar, because according to the original system, the children of officials above the fifth rank also had the right to shade the door.

As for the scholars, even if they are not nobles or officials, but they have the power of academics, no matter how good the court is, they will eventually have to use them as scholars to govern the world.

It is precisely for this reason that a proposal for an imperial examination has actually touched the interests of the entire aristocratic bureaucracy, plus the noble group.

Originally, the scholars were the beneficiaries of the imperial examination, but they also objected, because the emperor decided that no matter where the scholars came from, whether you were a scholar or a poor family, as long as you were talented, you could take the exam, and you might be admitted if you passed the exam.

The scholars refused to do it, no matter which dynasty or generation in the past, the cold family was the cold door, and it was always suppressed by the scholars, and academics have always been monopolized in the hands of the scholars.

But now the emperor wants to open the imperial examination, regardless of background, which means that the cold men who were suppressed by them in the past may have to jump, not only can they only be low-level officials or scribes, or they can also become state officials.

A pebble that broke a pond of stagnant water.

A imperial examination system has been discussed by the imperial court for more than two months, and no results have yet been released.
