Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, has been thinking about how to contain the Guanlong aristocracy, suppress the strength of the old valve, and strengthen the centralization of power, because in the course of the past two or three hundred years of history, there have been too many dynastic changes, the feudal kings have rebelled, and the gate lords have been divided, threatening the imperial power.

This is a problem of the foundation of the country, if it is not handled well, it is easy to damage the roots and dig the foundation, the dynasty will collapse, and you should not rush forward.

But Emperor Yang of Sui is just a character who is eager for success and profit, he has the power to cover the three emperors and five emperors in his heart, surpassing Qin Shi Huang, and becoming the domineering of the first emperor through the ages, but after all, the founding of the Great Sui was realized by his Lao Tzu, and he couldn't get the name of the founding of the country, but he wanted to realize the great cause, dominate the universe, and reproduce the ancient saints, the prosperous era of the barbarians from all directions.

But the clan of the gate lords seriously restricted him, and even endangered his power and rule, his father was the dictatorship of foreign relatives and won the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui didn't want to, these eight major lords, but also those first-class wealthy families, can threaten his rule.

Winning over the Han family, promoting the Han scholars, balancing the gate valves, and dividing the power of the nobles were the ideas of Emperor Yang of Sui, but he didn't know where to start for a while.

At this time, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui asked Luo Zhaoyun, quite the idea of rushing to the doctor in a hurry, mixed with temptation, and unintentional actions, in short, Emperor Yang of Sui has a changeable temperament and is very eccentric, and sometimes his thoughts cannot be speculated according to common sense.

Luo Zhaoyun hesitated, seeing that there were no outsiders in the palace, but he was still restrained, after all, if he said something unfavorable to the gate valve, he was worried that he would offend the gate valve, and in the future, he would be in the court, but it would be difficult to move an inch.

Yang Guangcheng's mansion is also quite deep, otherwise he would not have succeeded in overthrowing the prince in the succession, he saw Luo Zhaoyun's hesitation, and with a wave of his hand, he asked all the palace maids and guards to withdraw from the room, leaving only Queen Xiao and the little princess, and a few guards, all standing in the corner, if they spoke in a low voice, they might not be able to hear.

Luo Zhaoyun put his mind at ease and replied: "The minister thinks that when the road to the imperial examination is opened, talents are selected, and the poor family must be given a chance to take office." ”

In fact, the ancient Chinese imperial examination system first originated in the Sui Dynasty, after the Sui Dynasty unified the country, in order to adapt to the development and changes of feudal economic and political relations, in order to expand the requirements of the feudal ruling class to participate in the political power, and strengthen the centralization of power, so the power to select officials was returned to the central government, and the imperial examination system was used to replace the nine-rank Zhongzheng system.

According to historical records, in the first month of the third year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen of Sui issued an edict to promote "virtuous and virtuous". In July of the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, he ordered the Beijing officials to be more than five grades, the general manager, the history of the assassin, and the two branches of "Zhixing Xiu" and "Qingping Ganji" to raise people, but this kind of lifting people is just a formality, and the last ones who are elected must be related households, and have little to do with the cold door.

Yang Guanghu said suspiciously: "Imperial examination selection? In this regard, I have also considered it for a long time, and plan to set up ten people who are considered to be "filial piety", "virtuous and generous", "righteous and righteous", "clean and clean", "strong and upright", and "excellent in academics". Then the edict ordered the counties to "pass the study, talent and skill", "arrogant strength, super excellence" and other four scientific examinations, broaden the way and assessment of the selection and promotion of people, but the implementation, I am afraid it is still inevitable to be controlled by the gate valve. ”

After listening to this, Luo Zhaoyun understood what Yang Guang said that it was the system of lifting people implemented in the Sui Dynasty, but the method of temporarily selecting people has not yet formed a system, but it is divided into the characteristics of the imperial examination system, so as to have the prototype of the imperial examination system. In the middle of the great cause, before the invasion of Liaodong, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also set up the Ming Jing and Jinshi two subjects, and went to the scholars with "trial strategies", which marked the birth of the imperial examination system, but that's all, and it was not really implemented.

Because soon after the invasion of Liaodong, the imperial examination was abandoned, and then the three expeditions to Liaodong failed, the world was in smoke, the princes rose together, Yang Guang took refuge in Jiangdu, the north was almost chaotic, the imperial examination was not implemented, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that the imperial examination system was really implemented.

However, if you think that the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty had a great impact on the country, it would be wrong, because in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, the number of scholars was too small, and a scientific examination, once every three years, only 20 people were admitted, and in the end they all became writers such as the Hanlin Academy, such as Li Bai, and could not get the real power of the official position, which had little impact on the government.

Only in the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination is the most important way, Zhao Kuangyin in order to win over the poor scholars, do not let these literati make trouble, so that the scholars can resolutely support the leadership of the imperial court, so the imperial examination is more comprehensive, the number of candidates is also large, the Song Dynasty protégés, schools of party struggle is also the most, and the reading atmosphere is also the best.

Luo Zhaoyun opened his mouth and said: "The imperial examination mentioned by the minister is not the traditional meaning of the selection and management, but through a more fair way, let everyone under the supervision of the emperor, with real talent and learning, enter the court as officials, they will directly become His Majesty's people, so that they skip the gate valve assessment, they will be absolutely loyal to Your Majesty." ”

Yang Guang's eyes lit up, revealing a look of surprise, even Queen Xiao and the little princess were surprised after hearing it, I don't know what he can do?

"You can skip the gate valve control, or even let me supervise it myself, what is the solution?"

"Exam!"

"Exams?" Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

Luo Zhaoyun said excitedly: "It is the imperial examination, not through those superficial meritocracy, integrity, virtue, etc., subjective assessment, but let the sons of the poor and nobles, after studying the imperial examination, can be divided into article papers, governing the country, military art of war volumes, architectural arithmetic volumes, etc., and take scholars by subject, not only can select some scholars who are proficient in Confucianism and good at writing words, but also can select officials who are proficient in the theory of governing the country, military generals who know the art of war, and people who are proficient in architecture, arithmetic, and craftsmen." ”

After listening to this, Yang Guang's expression changed, and then he said with a smile: "Haha, this idea, I still mentioned it for the first time, do you rely on the answer sheet to write?" This can avoid the interference of some gate valves, but it is ridiculous how the builders and craftsmen you mentioned are qualified to participate in this kind of imperial imperial examination! ”

Emperor Yang of Sui praised and reprimanded, and some of Luo Zhaoyun's suggestions felt feasible, and some felt whimsical.

Luo Zhaoyun sighed in his heart, the hierarchical concept of Shinong and industry is too deep in this era, and even the emperor himself feels that it is justified, not to mention those nobles and ordinary people.

"In this way, can the scholars really rise up and enter the court?" Yang Guang still has questions.

Luo Zhaoyun said: "The imperial court promulgated the bibliography of the scientific examination, so that the nobles and the children of the poor families can study separately, and then unify the questions, or a paper for each state, from the county examination, the hospital examination, the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination. In the past, it was a high-grade and low-grade non-cold family, but it evolved into 'the court is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is the Tianzi Hall', and His Majesty can use the people who receive the heavens for his own use.
