Chapter 207: Imperial Examination
In the blink of an eye, at the three-day round of court meetings, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty threw out a political topic, to increase the road of selecting scholars from poor families, and to weaken its function of electing officials in the past nine products of the Zhongzheng system and the recommendation system. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The court was silent for a moment, and then some ministers stood up to oppose it, such as Li Hun and others, Li Valve, who represented the Guanlong aristocracy, and he stood up as a national pillar and a servant of the country, and suddenly dozens of high-ranking officials in the court also seconded the proposal.
"The minister thinks that the current aristocratic class is in control of the cultural inheritance, the successive generations of ministers, studying academics, generations of outstanding people, poor scholars, learning are the last stream, it is difficult to become a climate, let them enter the court temple in large numbers, they will hate the nobles, which will lead to infighting in the court, consume national strength, absolutely not!" Li Hun, the Duke of the Servant State, stated his point of view and said it extremely seriously.
"The minister seconded the proposal, what the Duke of Yu said, every sentence is like a rock, since the Han Dynasty, the inspection system has begun to rise, Confucianism has been promoted, and it has not entered the people, those poor families have no knowledge at all, how can they enter the temple and discuss the government with the nobles?"
"The minister also seconded the proposal, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, implemented since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, is quite effective, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Qi, and the Sui Dynasty can be unified, all of which are outstanding people selected by this system, how can it be easily changed?"
Many officials of the gate lord clan have stood up, including many of the six Shangshu, such as Liang Bi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Sun Chi, the chief of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wei Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Hu Sizheng, etc., and Ling Yuanshou of the internal history, most of whom are from Guanlong nobles and gate valves.
In fact, many people know that Yang Guang intends to restrict the development of the gate valve in an attempt to weaken the power of the aristocracy, which is a conflict of interests between the imperial power and the entire wealthy aristocracy.
Yang Guang's face was gloomy, he didn't expect such a big resistance! He suddenly thought that when Emperor Wen was in power, he had mentioned to him many times that the nobles of Guanlong could not move easily, otherwise they would affect the whole body.
However, Yang Guang wanted to do this, he felt that he was the emperor, and he should be above everyone, saying one thing and saying the same, no family and nobleman, daring to disobey and threaten the imperial power, their power was canonized by the emperor, and it could be given or withdrawn.
Moreover, if Yang Guang wants to do great things, he must break the constraints of the Guanlong aristocracy and strengthen the centralization of power, so as to carry out the implementation of major events, such as moving the capital to Luoyang, digging new canals, such as inspecting northern Xinjiang and Jiangnan, etc., which are difficult to implement without absolute power.
Now, Yang Guang wants to establish his authority, start with this small thing, reverse the thinking of the ministers, and support some obedient ministers, instead of those courtiers who are opposed to the imperial power in order to safeguard the interests of the family.
Yang Guang glanced at Yang Su, the other party was cunning, at this time, Yang Su remained silent, closed his eyes slightly, and did not participate.
The right servant shot Gao Xi stood up and said: "Please think twice, this kind of vigorous promotion of the Hanmen is too hasty, it is better to discuss it after a few years." ”
Gao Xi is also a nobleman after all, and when it comes to his own interests, he must also stand up and express his position. Last time, he opposed Yang Guang and Yang Su because of his support for the crown prince Yang Yong, but after Yang Guang ascended the throne, in order to promote his image as a Ming monarch, he still used Gao Xi, returned the official to reinstate, and even had a few more idle posts to show his glory.
Yang Guang snorted: "Ladies and gentlemen, I haven't heard how I implemented it, so I hurriedly stood up and refused, and I couldn't help but have some other doubts, are you waiting for the cold door, or is it really for the system?" In my opinion, there are some people who are just unpredictable and alarmist. ”
After his words were spoken, the temperature in the entire Jinluan Hall was a little colder.
Pei Ju, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, stood up and asked: "I don't know what His Highness's method of selecting talents is, so it is better to announce it and let the ministers and others discuss it."
This is the nursery set up by Yang Guang, the role of throwing bricks and attracting jade, Yang Guangcheng's mansion is not shallow, and he is also good at conspiracy, he has long guessed that the ministers will not agree easily, so he started first, and did not say the specific details and steps, so that the opposing party attacked first, but there was no point of attack, it was more general, and Yang Guang began to fight back.
Yang Guangwen was very provocative, and naturally said very inflatably: "Of course it is a fair imperial examination!" Of course, I understand that the Guanlong aristocracy and the world's wealthy families have brought stability and support to the country, as well as the role of helping the rivers and mountains in these hundreds of years, but any kind of system cannot be used all the time, it needs to change according to the situation, in line with the current situation, such as today's stability, the integration of the north and the south, the Eastern Jin Dynasty Yongjia Nandu, the evolution of Song Qi Liang Chen, Confucianism spread to the south, the north and the south are different from the teaching, the differentiation between the cold and the aristocracy is also different, I can't just take care of the interests of the courtiers around me, and give up the whole world! If the Great Sui wants to be long-lasting, it is necessary to be fair, to focus on virtue and talent, and inject new blood into the imperial court, throughout many rich children, they have lost their blood and talent, and they raise eagles and dogs in the capital all day long, doing nothing, all relying on the ancestors to shadow the gong, like this, my Great Sui Dynasty is not declining, one generation is not as good as the next, how can we go further? ”
Yu Shiji, the waiter of the inner history, stood up and said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" What His Majesty said, the heart of the world, is really the thought of the holy monarch, the key to the selection of talents with the imperial examination, whether it is the Confucian scholars in the north and south, or the nobles and scholars, as long as there is a real talent to learn, the fair imperial examination, so that it will be much fairer! ”
"The minister seconded the proposal and agreed with what His Majesty said, this is the idea of the great harmony of the world!"
Nayan Su Wei, Zhang Heng, Imperial Historian Pei Yun and others echoed one after another, most of them were of Nanchen blood, or people below the nobility and from the scholarly class, all of whom wanted to break through the suppression of the Guanlong aristocracy, so they united to agree with this view.
Among them, there is also Yu Wenshu, he was originally a northern gate valve nobleman, but he knew in his heart that Yang Guang's thoughts, as a cronie and favored minister, he no longer considered the interests of the entire gate valve, but only considered the glory and status of his own family, and also stood up to support Emperor Yang of Sui's views.
